Ezequiel 25

1 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, set your face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them. 3 Tell the children of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh says, "Because you said, ‘Aha!’ against my sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity, 4 therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the children of the east for a possession. They will set their encampments in you and make their dwellings in you. They will eat your fruit and they will drink your milk. 5 I will make Rabbah a stable for camels and the children of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am Yahweh." 6 For the Lord Yahweh says: "Because you have clapped your hands, stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the contempt of your soul against the land of Israel, 7 therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries. I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am Yahweh."

8 "‘The Lord Yahweh says: "Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’ 9 therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on its frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim, 10 to the children of the east, to go against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations. 11 I will execute judgments on Moab. Then they will know that I am Yahweh."

12 "‘The Lord Yahweh says: "Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and taken revenge on them," 13 therefore the Lord Yahweh says, "I will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and animal from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman. They will fall by the sword even to Dedan. 14 I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel. They will do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath. Then they will know my vengeance," says the Lord Yahweh.

15 "‘The Lord Yahweh says: "Because the Philistines have taken revenge, and have taken vengeance with contempt of soul to destroy with perpetual hostility," 16 therefore the Lord Yahweh says, "Behold, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. 17 I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I lay my vengeance on them."’"

He Kauwhautanga ki Amona

1 I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 2 "E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tōu mata ki ngā tama a Āmona, ka poropiti i te hē mō rātou. 3 Mea atu hoki ki ngā tama a Āmona, ‘Whakarongo ki te kupu a te Ariki a Ihowā; Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Nā, kua mea mai nā koe, "Ha!" ki tōku wāhi tapu i te mea e whakapokea ana; ki te oneone anō o Īharaira i te mea ka ururuatia, ki te whare anō o Hūrā i a rātou ka riro ki te whakarau; 4 mō reira tēnei ahau te hoatu nei i a koe hei kāinga ki ngā tamariki o te rāwhiti, ā, ka whakatūria e rātou ō rātou puni ki a koe, ka hangā anō ō rātou kāinga ki a koe. Ka pau i a rātou āu hua, ka inumia e rātou tāu waiū. 5 Ka meinga anō e ahau a Rapa hei kāinga kāmera, me ngā tama anō a Āmona hei tāpapatanga hipi; ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau. 6 Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Nā, kua papaki nā ōu ringa, kua takahi ōu waewae, pau katoa tōu ngākau ki te koa, he kino nōu ki te whenua o Īharaira; 7 mō reira, nā, kua totoro atu tōku ringa ki a koe, ā, kua tukua koe e ahau hei pāhuatanga mā ngā iwi. Ka hātepea atu koe e ahau i roto i ngā iwi, ka hunā anō koe e ahau i roto i ngā whenua. Ka whakangaromia koe e ahau; ā, ka mōhio koe ko Ihowā ahau.’ "

He Kauwhautanga ki Moapa

8 "Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: ‘Kua mea nei a Moapa rāua ko Heira: Nanā, kua rite te whare o Hūrā ki ngā iwi katoa, 9 mō reira tēnei ahau te mea nei kia takoto kau te taha o Moapa i ngā pā, i ōna pā i ōna rohe, te korōria o te whenua, i Peteiehimoto, i Paara-Meono, i Kiriataima, 10 tae noa ki ngā tama o te rāwhiti kia haere ki te whawhai ki ngā tama a Āmona, ā, ka tukua rātou e ahau hei kāinga tupu, e kore ai e maharatia ngā tama a Āmona i roto i ngā iwi. 11 Ka mahia anō e ahau he whakawā ki a Moapa; ā, ka mōhio rātou ko Ihowā ahau.’ "

He Kauwhautanga ki Ēroma

12 "Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: ‘Nā, kua mahia nā e Ēroma he hē mō te whare o Hūrā, kua rapu utu kua nui tō rātou kino, kua rapu utu i a rātou; 13 mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Ka totoro anō tōku ringa ki a Ēroma, ka hātepea atu ngā tāngata me ngā kararehe o reira. Ka meinga anō e ahau te ritenga atu o Temana hei ururua, ka hinga anō ngā tāngata, ā tae atu ana ki Rerana, i te hoari. 14 Ka tukua atu anō e ahau tāku rapu utu ki a Ēroma, mā tāku iwi, mā Īharaira e mahi; ka meatia anō e rātou i roto i a Ēroma ngā mea e rite ana ki tōku riri, ki tōku weriweri; ā, ka mōhio rātou ki tāku rapu utu, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.’ "

He Kauwhautanga ki Piriritia

15 "Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: ‘He rapu utu nei te mahi a ngā Pirihitini, he kino nei te ngākau i rapu utu ai rātou, he mea kia ngaro, he mauāhara tūturu; 16 mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Nanā, ka totoro tōku ringa ki ngā Pirihitini, ā, ka hātepea atu e ahau ngā Keretimi, ka hunā anō e ahau ngā mōrehu o te tahatai. 17 He nui hoki ngā rapunga utu e mahia e ahau ki a rātou, weriweri rawa ngā whakatūpehupehunga; ā, ka mōhio rātou ko Ihowā ahau, ina tukua e ahau tāku rapu utu ki a rātou.’ "
