Ezequiel 5

Ka Heua e Ehekiera ōna Makawe

1 "Nā, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, tīkina he hoari koi māu, tīkina hei heu māu. Ko te heu a te kaiheu, ka whakahaere ai ki runga ki tōu māhunga, ki tōu pāhau anō. Kātahi ka tiki i ētahi pāuna hei pāuna māu, ka wehe ai i ngā makawe. 2 Ko tētahi whakatoru o ngā wāhi me tahu e koe ki te ahi ki waenganui o te pā, ina rite ngā rā o te whakapaenga. Nā, ka mau ki tētahi whakatoru, ka hahau ki te hoari i tētahi taha ōna, i tētahi taha; ā, ko tētahi whakatoru me tītari atu ki te hau. Ka maunu hoki i ahau te hoari hei whai i a rātou. 3 Me tango anō e koe ētahi o aua makawe, kia torutoru, ka takai ki roto ki ngā pito o tōu. 4 Me tango ētahi o aua makawe, ka maka ki waenganui o te ahi, ka tahu ai ki te ahi; ka puta mai i reira he ahi ki te whare katoa o Īharaira.

5 "Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Ko Hiruhārama tēnei; he mea whakatū ia nāku ki waenga o ngā iwi, ā, ko ngā whenua e karapoi ana i a ia. 6 Ā, kua whakakeke ia ki āku whakaritenga, nui atu hoki tāna mahi kino i tā ngā iwi, ki āku tikanga hoki, nui atu i tā ngā whenua i tētahi taha ōna, i tētahi taha. Kua paopao nei hoki rātou ki āku whakaritenga, ā, kīhai i waiho e rātou āku tikanga hei ara mō rātou.

7 "Nō reira ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: I te mea kua nui ake tō koutou tutū i tō ngā iwi i tētahi taha o koutou, i tētahi taha, kīhai hoki koutou i haere i runga i āku tikanga, kīhai i mahi i āku whakaritenga, kīhai anō i rite tā koutou mahi ki ngā ritenga a ngā iwi i tētahi taha o koutou, i tētahi taha.

8 "Nō reira ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Nanā ko ahau, ko ahau rawa nei, hei hoariri mōu; ā, ka whakaritea e ahau he whakaritenga i waenganui ōu i te tirohanga a ngā iwi. 9 Ka mahia anō e ahau i roto i a koe he mea kīhai i mahia e ahau i mua, e kore he pēnā e mahia e ahau ā muri; mō āu mea whakarihariha katoa hoki. 10 Ā, ka kai ngā mātua i ngā tamariki i roto i a koe, ka kai anō ngā tamariki i ō rātou mātua; ka mahia anō e ahau he whakaritenga i roto i a koe, ka tītaria atu anō e ahau ōu mōrehu katoa ki ngā hau katoa. 11 Mō reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā, kua whakapokea nei e koe tōku wāhi tapu ki āu mea whakarihariha katoa, ki āu mea anuanu katoa, mō reira ka tino whakaititia anō koe e ahau; e kore tōku kanohi e manawapā, e kore anō ahau e tohu. 12 Ka mate tētahi whakatoru ōu i te mate urutā, ka poto atu hoki i te hemokai i roto i a koe; ā, ka hinga tētahi whakatoru ōu i te hoari i tētahi taha ōu, i tētahi taha. Nā, ko tētahi whakatoru, ka tītaria e ahau ki ngā hau katoa, ka maunu anō i ahau te hoari hei whai i a rātou.

13 "Nā, ka whakapaua atu tōku riri, ka meinga anō e ahau kia tutuki tōku weriweri ki runga ki a rātou, ka whai whakamārietanga anō ahau; ā, ka mōhio rātou ko Ihowā ahau te kōrero nei i runga i tōku hae, ina whakapaua e ahau tōku weriweri ki runga ki a rātou.

14 "Ka meinga anō koe e ahau hei ururua, hei ingoa kino i roto i ngā iwi i tētahi taha ōu, i tētahi taha, i te tirohanga a ngā tāngata katoa e haere atu ana. 15 Heoi, ka waiho a konā hei ingoa kino, hei tāwainga, hei mea e ako ai e mīharo ai ngā iwi i tētahi taha ōu; i tētahi taha, ina mahia e ahau ngā whakaritenga ki a koe i runga i te riri, i te weriweri, i ngā whakatūpehupehu, āritarita rawa. Nāku, nā Ihowā te kupu. 16 Ina tukua e ahau ki a rātou ngā pere kino o te hemokai, hei whakamōtī, ko āku e tuku atu ai hei whakamōtī i a koutou; ka whakanuia anō e ahau tō koutou hemokai, whati iho tō koutou tokotoko, arā te taro. 17 Ka tukua atu anō e ahau te hemokai ki a koutou, me ngā kīrehe kikino, ā, ka poto i a rātou āu tamariki; ka tika atu anō te mate urutā me te whakaheke toto i waenganui i a koe; ka kawea atu anō e ahau te hoari ki a koe. Nāku nā Ihowā te kupu."

1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp sword; as a barber’s razor shalt thou take it unto thee, and shalt cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair. 2 A third part shalt thou burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part, and smite with the sword round about it; and a third part thou shalt scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them. 3 And thou shalt take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts. 4 And of these again shalt thou take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; therefrom shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

5 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are round about her. 6 And she hath rebelled against mine ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her; for they have rejected mine ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them. 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are turbulent more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept mine ordinances, neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you; 8 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I, even I, am against thee; and I will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. 9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations. 10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on thee; and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter unto all the winds. 11 Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, and I also will have no pity. 12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee; and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and a third part I will scatter unto all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.

13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted: and they shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath upon them. 14 Moreover I will make thee a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by. 15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments on thee in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes (I, Jehovah, have spoken it); 16 when I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. And I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread; 17 and I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee: I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
