Ezequiel 7

Te Parekura Raraka

1 I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau; i mea: 2 "Nā, e koe, e te tama a te tangata, ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā, ki te whenua o Īharaira: He whakamutunga! Kua tae mai te whakamutunga ki ngā pito e whā o te whenua. 3 Ko āianei te whakamutunga mōu, ka tukua atu e ahau tōku riri ki runga ki a koe, ka rite anō ki ōu ara tāku whakarite mōu; ka hoatu anō e ahau āu mea whakarihariha katoa ki runga ki a koe. 4 E kore anō tōku kanohi e manawapā ki a koe, e kore ahau e tohu. Engari, ka hoatu e ahau te utu o ōu ara ki a koe; ka mau hoki āu mea whakarihariha ki roto i a koe. Ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau.

5 "Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: He kino! He kino kotahi! Nanā, te haere mai nei. 6 He whakamutunga kua tae mai, kua tae mai te whakamutunga, kei te oho ki a koe; nanā, e haere mai nei. 7 Ko te mea kua rite mōu, tēnei kua tae mai, e te tangata o te whenua. Kua tae mai te wā, kua tata te rā – he rā nō te ngangau, ehara i te rā o te umere harakoa i runga o ngā maunga. 8 Ākuanei ka tata te ringihia e ahau tōku weriweri ki runga ki a koe, ka whakapaua e ahau tōku riri ki a koe, ka rite anō ki ōu ara tāku whakarite mōu; ka hoatu anō e ahau he utu ki a koe mō āu mea whakarihariha katoa. 9 E kore anō tōku kanohi e manawapā; e kore ahau e tohu. Ka rite ki ōu ara tāku e hoatu ai ki a koe, ka mau anō āu mea whakarihariha ki waenganui i a koe. Ā, ka mōhio koutou e whiu ana anō ahau, a Ihowā.

10 "Nanā, te rā! Nanā, kua tae mai! Kua puta te mea kua rite mōu. Kua puāwai te tokotoko, kua kōpuku te whakapehapeha. 11 Kua ara te tutū hei tokotoko mō te kino; e kore e toe tētahi o rātou, tētahi rānei o tō rātou mano, o ō rātou taonga rānei; kāhore anō hoki he arikitanga i roto i a rātou. 12 Kua tae mai te wā, kua tata te rā; kaua te kaihoko mai e koa; kaua anō te kaihoko atu e pōuri, nō te mea ka pā te riri ki tōna mano katoa. 13 Nō te mea ahakoa i te ora rāua, e kore te tangata i te utu e hoki atu ki te mea i hokona; mō ōna mano katoa hoki te whakakitenga, e kore rātou e hoki; e kore anō tētahi e whakakaha i a ia i runga i tōna hē i āna mahi i a ia e ora ana. 14 Kua whakatangihia e rātou te tētere, ā, kua whakaritea ngā mea katoa; heoi kāhore he tangata e haere ana ki te whawhai; nō te mea kei runga tōku riri i ōna mano katoa.

15 "I waho ko te hoari, i roto ko te mate urutā, ko te hemokai; ko te tangata i te pārae ka mate i te hoari; ko te tangata i te pā ka pau i te hemokai, i te mate urutā. 16 Ko ngā mōrehu o rātou e mawhiti, ka mawhiti, ā, ka noho ki ngā maunga, ka rite ki ngā kūkupa o ngā awaawa, tumutumu katoa rātou i runga i tōna hē, i tōna hē. 17 Ka ngoikore katoa ngā ringa, ā, ka ngonge ngā turi ānō he wai. 18 Ka whītikiria anō he kākahu taratara ki a rātou, ka taupokina rātou e te wehi. He whakamā kei ngā mata katoa, ā, i runga i ō rātou māhunga katoa ko te pākira. 19 Ka makā e rātou tā rātou hiriwa ki ngā ara, ka waiho tā rātou kōura hei mea poke. E kore tā rātou hiriwa, tā rātou kōura, e tau hei whakaora i a rātou i te rā o tō Ihowā riri. E kore e ngata ō rātou wairua, e kore anō e kī ō rātou puku i ērā. Ko te tūtukitanga waewae hoki tērā i hē ai rātou. 20 Nā, ko te ātaahua o tōna whakapaipai, nāna i whakawhiwhi ki te korōria. Heoi, hangā ana e rātou ngā āhua o ā rātou mea anuanu, o ā rātou mea whakarihariha ki reira; nō reira meinga iho e ahau hei mea poke ki a rātou. 21 Ka tukua anō e ahau hei taonga parakete ki te ringa o ngā tāngata kē, ki ngā tāngata kino o te whenua, hei taonga pārau; ā, ka whakapokea e rātou. 22 Ka tahuri atu anō tōku mata i a rātou, ā, ka whakapokea e rātou tōku wāhi ngaro; ka tae mai anō ngā kaipāhua ki reira whakapoke ai.

23 "Hangā he mekameka! Kua kī hoki te whenua i ngā hē whakaheke toto; kī tonu hoki te pā i te tutū. 24 Mō reira ka kawea mai e ahau ngā tauiwi kino rawa, ā, ka riro ō rātou whare i a rātou. Ka mutu anō i ahau te whakapehapeha o te hunga kaha ka whakapokea ō rātou wāhi tapu. 25 Kei te haere mai te whakangaromanga; ka rapua e rātou te rangimārie; heoi kāhore noa iho. 26 Ka tae mai te aituā ki runga ki te aituā, te rongo ki runga ki te rongo; ā, ka rapua e rātou tā te poropiti whakakitenga; heoi ka whakakāhoretia te ture i te tohunga, te whakaaro i ngā kaumātua. 27 Ka tangi te kīngi, ko te ngaromanga hoki he kākahu mō te rangatira, ka ohooho anō ngā ringa o te iwi o te whenua. Ka rite ki ō rātou ara tāku e mea ai ki a rātou, kei ā rātou ritenga anō hoki he ritenga mō tāku whakawā i a rātou; ā, ka mōhio rātou ko Ihowā ahau."

1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel, An end: the end is come upon the four corners of the land. 3 Now is the end upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations. 4 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

5 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an only evil; behold, it cometh. 6 An end is come, the end is come; it awaketh against thee; behold, it cometh. 7 Thy doom is come unto thee, O inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, upon the mountains. 8 Now will I shortly pour out my wrath upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations. 9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring upon thee according to thy ways; and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, do smite.

10 Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. 11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: neither shall there be eminency among them. 12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

14 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goeth to the battle; for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 15 The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him. 16 But those of them that escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity. 17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. 18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads. 19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it hath been the stumblingblock of their iniquity. 20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it unto them as an unclean thing. 21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it. 22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.

23 Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. 24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned. 25 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none. 26 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders. 27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
