Ezequiel 23

Ko Ohora rāua ko Ohoripa

1 I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 2 "E te tama a te tangata, tokorua ngā wāhine i mua, he tamāhine nā te whaea kotahi. 3 Heoi, moepuku ana ki Īhipa; moepuku ana i tō rāua tamarikitanga. I romia ō rāua ū ki reira, i mirimiria ki reira ngā matamata o tō rāua wāhinatanga. 4 Nā, ko ō rāua ingoa, ko Ohora tō te tuakana, ko Ohoripa tō te teina. Ā, i riro rāua i ahau, i whānau hoki he tama, he tamāhine mā rāua. Nā, mō ō rāua ingoa, ko Hamaria a Ohora, ko Hiruhārama a Ohoripa.

5 "Nā, kua kairau a Ohora i te mea i ahau anō ia, minamina atu ana ki āna i aroha ai, ki ōna hoa tata, ki ngā Ahiriana, 6 he purū nei ō rātou kākahu, he ariki, he kāwana, he taitamariki, e minaminatia rātou katoa, he tāngata hōiho, e eke ana ki te hōiho. 7 Heoi, kei te mahi kairau ia ki a rātou, ki ngā tāngata papai rawa o ngā tama o Ahiria, ki a rātou katoa; ā, ahakoa ko wai i minaminatia e ia, whakapoke ana ia i a ia anō ki ā rātou whakapakoko katoa. 8 Kīhai anō i mahue i a ia āna moepuku mai o ngā rā o Īhipa; i takoto hoki rātou ki a ia i tōna tamarikitanga, ā, mirimiria ana e rātou ngā matamata o tōna wāhinatanga, ringihia ana e rātou ā rātou moepuku ki runga ki a ia.

9 "Nā reira ia i tukua ai e ahau ki te ringa o te hunga i arohaina e ia, ki te ringa o ngā tamariki o Ahiria, o āna i minamina ai. 10 Ā, hurahia ana ia e rātou kia noho tahanga; tangohia ana e rātou āna tama, āna tamāhine, patua iho ia e rātou ki te hoari; ā, whai ingoa ana ia i roto i ngā wāhine; i mahia hoki e rātou he whakawā ki a ia.

11 "Ā, ka kite tōna teina, a Ohoripa, i tēnei, otiia i nui atu te kino o tōna minamina i tō tērā, ōna moepuku hoki i nui atu i o tōna tuakana. 12 Minamina ana ia ki ngā Ahiriana, ki ōna hoa tata, ki ngā ariki, ki ngā kāwana, he pai rawa nei ngā kākahu, he tāngata hōiho e eke ana ki te hōiho, ko rātou katoa he tamariki e minaminatia. 13 Nā, ka kite ahau kua poke ia, kotahi tonu te ara ō rāua tokorua.

14 "Kua neke ake anō ōna moepuku; i kite hoki ia i ngā tāngata kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pakitara, i ngā whakaahua o ngā Karari, he mea tuhituhi ki te whero pai, 15 he mea whītiki ō rātou hope ki te whītiki, ō rātou māhunga mea rawa ki te kākahu kua oti te rongoā, he rangatira katoa ki te titiro; ko te āhua kei tō ngā tama o Papurōna, o Karari, o te whenua i whānau ai rātou. 16 Ā, nō te kitenga o ōna kanohi i a rātou, minamina tonu ki a rātou, tukua ana e ia he karere ki a rātou, ki Karari. 17 Nā, ka haere mai ki a ia o ngā tamariki o Papurōna ki te moenga aroha, whakapokea ana ia e rātou ki ā rātou moepuku. Heoi, ka whakapokea nei e rātou, nā, ngākaukore noa iho ia ki a rātou. 18 Heoi, ka whakakitea e ia ōna moepuku, ka whakakitea anō ia e noho tahanga ana; nā, ngākaukore noa iho ahau ki a ia, pērā tonu me ahau i ngākaukore rā ki tōna tuakana. 19 Heoi, whakanuia ana e ia ōna moepuku, me te mahara anō ia ki ngā rā o tōna tamarikitanga i a ia i kairau rā ki te whenua o Īhipa. 20 I minamina hoki ia ki ō rātou hoa moepuku, he kikokiko kāihe nei ō rātou kikokiko; ā, ko te mea e tārere mai ana i roto i a rātou rite tonu ki te mea e tārere mai ana i roto i te hōiho. 21 Nā, kua hokia nei e koe ngā hē o tōu tamarikitanga i ngā matamata o ōu ū i mirimiria rā e ngā Īhipiana, he meatanga ki ngā ū o tōu tamarikitanga.

22 "Mō reira, e Ohoripa, ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Nanā, ka ara i ahau ōu hoa aroha hei hoariri mōu, ērā kua ngākaukore nā koe ki a rātou, ka kawea mai anō rātou e ahau ki a koe ki ngā taha katoa – 23 ko ngā tāngata o Papurōna, rātou ko ngā Karari katoa, a Pekoro, a Hoa, a Koa, rātou ko ngā Ahiriana katoa: he taitamariki rātou katoa e minaminatia, he ariki, he kāwana, he rangatira, he rongo nui, he eke hōiho katoa. 24 Ā, ka haere mai rātou ki te whawhai ki a koe, me ngā mea mō te whawhai, he hāriata anō ō rātou, he kāta, he whakaminenga iwi; rite rawa i a rātou te puapua, te whakangungu rākau, te pōtae, hei whawhai ki a koe i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha. Ka tukua anō e ahau te whakawā ki tō rātou aroaro, ā, ka rite ki ā rātou whakaritenga tā rātou whakarite mōu. 25 Ka whakataua anō e ahau tōku hae ki a koe, ā, ka mahi weriweri rātou ki a koe. Ka riro anō tōu ihu i a rātou, me ōu taringa; ka hinga anō hoki ōu mōrehu i te hoari. Ka tangohia atu e rātou āu tama me āu tamāhine; ka pau anō ōu mōrehu i te ahi. 26 Ka huia atu anō e rātou ōu kākahu, ka tangohia anō ōu mea ātaahua. 27 Heoi, ka meinga e ahau tōu hē kia mutu, me tōu moepuku i tīmata mai rā i te whenua o Īhipa; kia kore ai ōu kanohi e ara ki aua mea, kia kore ai anō koe e mahara ki Īhipa ā muri ake nei.

28 "Nō te mea ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Tēnei ahau ka hoatu nei i a koe ki te ringa o te hunga e kinongia nā e koe, ki roto ki te ringa o te hunga kua ngākaukore nā koe ki a rātou. 29 Ka mahi anō rātou i runga i te mauāhara ki a koe, ā, ka riro ōu māuiui katoa i a rātou, mahue iho koe i a rātou kāhore he kākahu, noho tahanga ana. Ka kitea hoki e takoto kau ana ōu moepuku, tōu hē me ōu moepuku. 30 Ka meatia ēnei mea e ahau ki a koe mō tōu whāinga atu ki ngā tauiwi moepuku ai, mōu i poke i ā rātou whakapakoko. 31 I haere koe i te ara o tōu tuakana; nā, ka hoatu e ahau tāna kapu ki tōu ringa.

32 "Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā:

Ka inumia e koe te kapu a tōu tuakana,

aua noa iho ki raro, nui noa atu;

ka ai koe hei whakakatanga, hei taunutanga;

ranea rawa taua kapu.

33 Ka kī koe i te haurangi, i te pōuri,

i te kapu o te ketekete, o te whakangaromanga,

i te kapu a tōu tuakana, a Hamaria.

34 Ka inumia anō rā e koe, tatau rawa,

wāwāhi rawa i ngā maramara,

ka haea anō e koe ōu ū.

Nāku hoki te kōrero, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.

35 "Inā, ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Nā, kua wareware nā koe ki ahau, kua makā anō ahau e koe ki muri i tōu tuarā, nā, pīkaua anō e koe tōu hē me ōu moepuku."

36 I mea anō a Ihowā ki ahau: "E te tama a te tangata, e whakawā rānei koe i a Ohora rāua ko Ohoripa? Whakakitea ā rāua mea whakarihariha ki a rāua. 37 Nō te mea kua moepuku rāua, he toto kei ō rāua ringa. Kua moepuku anō rāua ki ā rāua whakapakoko; kua meinga e rāua ā rāua tamariki, āku i whānau nei i roto i a rāua kia tika i roto i te ahi, ki aua whakapakoko, pau tonu atu. 38 Ko tēnei anō tā rāua i mea ai ki ahau; i taua rā kotahi, whakapokea iho e rāua tōku wāhi tapu, ko āku hāpati kua noa i a rāua. 39 I tā rāua patunga hoki i ā rāua tamariki hei mea ki ā rāua whakapakoko, haere ana rāua i taua rā anō ki tōku wāhi tapu whakanoa ai. Nā, ko tā rāua tēnā i mea ai i roto i tōku whare.

40 "I unga tāngata anō koutou ki te hunga haere mai i tawhiti, he hunga i ungā atu nei he karere ki a rātou. Nā, kua tae mai rātou; mō rātou tāu horoi i a koe, mea rawa i ōu kanohi ki te pukepoto, whakapaipai rawa i a koe ki ngā whakapaipai. 41 Nā, noho ana koe, he mea korōria te moenga, i tōna taha ko te tēpu rite rawa; i runga ko tāku whakakakara, ko tāku hinu, he mea whakatakoto nāu.

42 "Ā, i taua wahine te ngē o te mano tini e noho mākohakoha ana; ā, i kawea mai i roto i te mano o te tāngata ngā haurangi o te koraha; ā, nā rātou i whakanoho he poroporo ki ō rāua ringa, he karauna ātaahua ki ō rāua māhunga. 43 Kātahi ahau ka mea mō taua wahine kua rūruhi nei e moepuku ana. ‘E moepuku anō rānei rātou ki a ia, me ia anō ki a rātou?’ 44 Heoi, haere ana rātou ki a ia, he pērā i tā rātou haere ki te wahine moepuku; pērā tonu tā rātou haere ki a Ohora, ki a Ohoripa, ki ngā wāhine hē. 45 Nā, ko ngā tāngata tika, mā rātou rāua e whakawā, he whakawā i ngā wāhine moepuku, he whakawā i ngā wāhine whakaheke toto; he wāhine moepuku hoki rāua, he toto kei ō rāua ringa.

46 "Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Ka kawea mai e ahau he hui ki a rāua, ā, ka meinga rāua e ahau kia makamaka, kia pāhuatia. 47 Ā, ka ākina rāua e te hui ki te kōhatu, ka tapahia ki ā rātou hoari; ka whakamatea ā rāua tama ā rāua tamāhine, ka tahuna anō ō rāua whare ki te ahi.

48 "Heoi, ka meinga e ahau te pūremu kia mutu i te whenua; kia ako ai ngā wāhine katoa kia kaua ā rātou mahi e rite ki ō kōrua hē. 49 Ka hoatu anō e rātou ngā utu o tō kōrua hē ki a kōrua, ā, ka pīkaua e kōrua ngā hara o ā kōrua whakapakoko; ka mōhio ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowā."

1 The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother: 3 and they played the harlot in Egypt; they played the harlot in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity. 4 And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bare sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

5 And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors, 6 who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses. 7 And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself. 8 Neither hath she left her whoredoms since the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their whoredom upon her. 9 Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted. 10 These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon her.

11 And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister. 12 She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men. 13 And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way. 14 And she increased her whoredoms; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, 15 girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them princes to look upon, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity. 16 And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea. 17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them. 18 So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister. 19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 20 And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. 21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth.

22 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side: 23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding upon horses. 24 And they shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will commit the judgment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments. 25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire. 26 They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels. 27 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt; so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more. 28 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated; 29 and they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare; and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

30 These things shall be done unto thee, for that thou hast played the harlot after the nations, and because thou art polluted with their idols. 31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thy hand. 32 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup, which is deep and large; thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much. 33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 34 Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and shalt tear thy breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah. 35 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

36 Jehovah said moreover unto me: Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare unto them their abominations. 37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass through the fire unto them to be devoured. 38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths. 39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house. 40 And furthermore ye have sent for men that come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent, and, lo, they came; for whom thou didst wash thyself, paint thine eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments, 41 and sit upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou didst set mine incense and mine oil. 42 And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets upon the hands of them twain, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.

43 Then said I of her that was old in adulteries, Now will they play the harlot with her, and she with them. 44 And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a harlot: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd women. 45 And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. 46 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and robbed. 47 And the company shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire. 48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. 49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
