Ezequiel 6

Ka Whakawātia e Ihowā te Koropiko ki te Whakapakoko

1 I puta anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 2 "E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tōu mata ki ngā maunga o Īharaira, ka poropiti ki a rātou, 3 ka mea atu: E ngā maunga o Īharaira, whakarongo ki te kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowā. Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā ki ngā maunga, ki ngā pukepuke, ki ngā awa, ki ngā raorao: Tēnei ahau, ahau nei anō, te kawe nei i te hoari ki runga ki a koutou, ā, ka kore i ahau ō koutou wāhi tiketike. 4 Ka whakaururuatia ā koutou āta, ka tukitukia ā koutou whakapakoko; ā, ka makā e ahau ki mua i ā koutou whakapakoko ō koutou tāngata i whakamatea. 5 Ka takoto anō i ahau ngā tinana o ngā tama a Īharaira ki mua i ā rātou whakapakoko; ka tītaria anō e ahau ō koutou wheua ki ā koutou āta ā taka noa. 6 I ō koutou nohoanga katoa ka ururuatia ngā pā, ka mokemoke anō ngā wāhi tiketike, he mea kia ururuatia ai ā koutou āta, kia mokemoke ai; kia tukitukia ai anō ā koutou whakapakoko, mutu ake tā rātou; ka pōutoa anō ā koutou whakapakoko, kia whakakāhoretia ai hoki ā koutou mahi. 7 Ka hinga anō te parekura i roto i a koutou; ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau.

8 "Ka toe anō ia i ahau ētahi, kia mawhiti ai ētahi o koutou i te hoari i roto i ngā iwi, ina tītaria atu koutou ki ngā whenua. 9 Nā, ko te hunga o koutou e mawhiti, ka mahara rātou ki ahau i roto i ngā iwi e whakaraua atu ai rātou, ki tāku pākaruhanga i tō rātou ngākau pūremu, kua mawehe atu nei i ahau, me ō rātou kanohi hoki, e haere nei ki te pūremu ki ō rātou whakapakoko; ā, anuanu iho rātou ki a rātou anō mō ngā kino i mahia nei e rātou, mō ā rātou mea whakarihariha katoa. 10 Ka mōhio hoki rātou ko Ihowā ahau; ehara anō tāku i te mea noa iho i tāku kīanga ka mahia tēnei kino ki a rātou.

11 "Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Papaki tōu ringa, takahi iho tōu waewae, me te kī ake anō, Auē te mate mō ngā kino whakarihariha katoa o te whare o Īharaira! Ka hinga hoki rātou i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate urutā. 12 Ko te tangata i tawhiti ka mate i te mate urutā; ko te tangata e tata ana ka hinga i te hoari; ko te tangata e toe ana, e whakapaea ana, ka mate i te hemokai. Nā, ka whakapaua e ahau tōku riri ki a rātou. 13 Ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau, ina takoto ō rātou tāngata i patua i waenganui o ā rātou whakapakoko i tētahi taha o ā rātou āta, i tētahi taha, i runga i ngā pukepuke tiketike katoa, i runga i ngā tihi katoa o ngā maunga, i raro anō i ngā rākau kōuru nui katoa, i raro i ngā oki pūruru katoa i te wāhi i tukua atu ai e rātou te kakara reka ki ā rātou whakapakoko katoa. 14 Ka totoro atu hoki tōku ringa ki a rātou, ā, ka meinga te whenua kia ururua, kia takoto kau, i te koraha e anga ana ki Ripirata, puta noa i ō rātou nohoanga; ā, ka mōhio rātou ko Ihowā ahau."

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy unto them, 3 and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places. 4 And your altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols. 5 And I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars. 6 In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be hewn down, and your works may be abolished. 7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

8 Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. 9 And those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the harlot after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. 10 And they shall know that I am Jehovah: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.

11 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. 12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath upon them. 13 And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered sweet savor to all their idols. 14 And I will stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
