Ezequiel 39

1 "You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: "Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 2 I will turn you around, will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring you onto the mountains of Israel. 3 I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the animals of the field to be devoured. 5 You will fall on the open field, for I have spoken it," says the Lord Yahweh. 6 "I will send a fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the islands. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.

7 "‘"I will make my holy name known among my people Israel. I won’t allow my holy name to be profaned any more. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh, the Holy One in Israel. 8 Behold, it comes, and it will be done," says the Lord Yahweh. "This is the day about which I have spoken.

9 "‘"Those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and will make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs and the spears, and they will make fires with them for seven years; 10 so that they will take no wood out of the field, and not cut down any out of the forests; for they will make fires with the weapons. They will plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them," says the Lord Yahweh.

11 "‘"It will happen in that day, that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea; and it will stop those who pass through. They will bury Gog and all his multitude there, and they will call it ‘The valley of Hamon Gog’.

12 "‘"The house of Israel will be burying them for seven months, that they may cleanse the land. 13 Yes, all the people of the land will bury them; and they will become famous in the day that I will be glorified," says the Lord Yahweh.

14 "‘"They will set apart men of continual employment who will pass through the land. Those who pass through will go with those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it. After the end of seven months they will search. 15 Those who search through the land will pass through; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, then he will set up a sign by it, until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog. 16 Hamonah will also be the name of a city. Thus they will cleanse the land."’

17 "You, son of man, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every animal of the field, "Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat meat and drink blood. 18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 19 You shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20 You shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men, and with all men of war," says the Lord Yahweh.’

21 "I will set my glory among the nations. Then all the nations will see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them. 22 So the house of Israel will know that I am Yahweh their God, from that day and forward. 23 The nations will know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them; so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword. 24 I did to them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions. I hid my face from them.

25 "Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Now I will reverse the captivity of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel. I will be jealous for my holy name. 26 They will forget their shame and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they dwell securely in their land. No one will make them afraid 27 when I have brought them back from the peoples, gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am shown holy among them in the sight of many nations. 28 They will know that I am Yahweh their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them to their own land. Then I will leave none of them captive any more. 29 I won’t hide my face from them any more, for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord Yahweh."

Ka Whakamatea ngā Ope Taua a Koko

1 "Nā, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, poropititia he hē mō Koko, mea atu: Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, Ihowā: Nanā, hei hoariri ahau mōu, e Koko, e te tino rangatira o Roho, o Meheke, o Tūpara; 2 ā, ka whakatahuritia koe e ahau, ka ārahina atu koe, ka meinga hoki kia puta ake koe i ngā pito rawa ki te raki, ā, ka kawea mai koe e ahau ki runga ki ngā maunga o Īharaira. 3 Ka patua atu anō e ahau tāu kōpere i roto i tōu mauī, ka meinga hoki āu pere kia marere i roto i tōu matau. 4 Ka hinga koe ki runga ki ngā maunga o Īharaira, a koe, me ōu rōpū katoa, me ngā iwi i a koe. Ka hoatu koe e ahau hei kai mā ngā manu kai kino o ia āhua, o ia āhua, mā ngā kīrehe anō o te pārae. 5 Ka hinga koe ki te mata o te pārae; nāku hoki te kupu, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā. 6 Ka tukua atu anō e ahau he ahi ki a Makoko, rātou ko te hunga e noho hūmārie ana i ngā motu, ā, ka mōhio rātou ko Ihowā ahau.

7 "Ā, ka meinga e ahau tōku ingoa tapu kia mōhiotia i roto i tāku iwi, i a Īharaira, e kore anō e tukua e ahau kia whakapokea tōku ingoa tapu ā muri ake nei. Ā, ka mōhio ngā tauiwi ko Ihowā ahau, ko te Mea Tapu i roto i a Īharaira. 8 Nanā, kua tae mai, kua oti, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā: Ko te rā tēnei i kōrerotia rā e ahau.

9 "Ka puta anō ngā tāngata o ngā pā o Īharaira, ā, ka tahuna e rātou, ka wera anō i a rātou ngā patu – ngā whakangungu rākau, ngā puapua, ngā kōpere, ngā pere, ngā hani, ngā tao – ko ngā tau e tahuna ai aua mea e rātou, e whitu. 10 E kore hoki e maua e rātou he wahie i te pārae, e kore anō e tapahia i ngā ngahere; nō te mea ka tahuna e rātou ngā patu ki te ahi. Ka pāhuatia e rātou ō rātou kaipāhua, ka murua ngā taonga o ō rātou kaimuru, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā."

Te Tanumanga o Koko

11 "Nā, ā taua rā ka hoatu e ahau ki a Koko he wāhi tanumanga ki reira, ki a Īharaira, ko te raorao o ngā tira haere i te taha ki te rāwhiti o te moana; kūtia iho ki reira ngā ihu o ngā tira haere; ka tanumia hoki ki reira a Koko rātou ko āna mano tini; ā, ka huaina a reira, ‘Ko te raorao o Hamono Koko.’

12 "Ā, e whitu ngā marama o te whare o Īharaira e tanu ana i a rātou kia wātea ai te whenua. 13 Inā, ka tanumia rātou e te iwi katoa o te whenua; ā, hei ingoa nui ki a rātou i te rā e whakakorōriatia ai ahau, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.

14 "Ka wehea anō e rātou ētahi tāngata, he mea tūturu, hei haere i runga i te whenua, hei tanu i ngā tira haere, i te hunga e toe ana i runga i te mata o te whenua, kia wātea ai; i te mutunga o ngā marama e whitu ka rapu rātou. 15 Ā, ka haere ngā tira haere, ka tika i te whenua; ka kite tētahi i te wheua tangata, ka whakatūria e ia he tohu ki tōna taha, kia tanumia rā anō e ngā kaitanu ki te raorao o Hamono Koko. 16 (Ā, ko Hāmona hoki hei ingoa mō tētahi pā.) Nā, ka wātea te whenua.

17 "Nā, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Mea atu ki ngā manu o ia āhua, o ia āhua, ki ngā kīrehe katoa o te pārae: Huihui mai, haere mai; whakamine mai koutou i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha, ki tāku patunga e patua nei e ahau mā koutou, he patunga nui ki runga ki ngā maunga o Īharaira, kia kai kikokiko ai, kia inu toto ai koutou. 18 Ka kai koutou i ngā kikokiko o te hunga mārohirohi, ka inu i ngā toto o ngā rangatira o te whenua, o ngā hipi toa, o ngā reme, o ngā koati, o ngā pūru, he mea mōmona katoa nō Pahana. 19 Ā, ka kai koutou i te ngako ā mākona noa, ka inu hoki i te toto ā haurangi noa, he mea nō tāku patunga e patua e ahau mā koutou. 20 Nā, ka mākona koutou i ngā hōiho o tāku tēpu, i ngā hōiho hāriata, i ngā mārohirohi, i ngā tāngata whawhai katoa, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā."

Ka Whakahokia a Īharaira ki te Whenua

21 "Ka whakatūria e ahau tōku korōria ki roto ki ngā tauiwi, ā, ka kite ngā tauiwi katoa i tāku whakawā e whakaritea e ahau, i tōku ringa anō ka pā nei ki a rātou. 22 Nā, ka mōhio te whare o Īharaira, ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō rātou Atua, i taua rā ā ake ake. 23 Ka mōhio anō ngā tauiwi, he hē nō te whare o Īharaira i whakaraua ai rātou. He pokanga kētanga nō tā rātou ki ahau i hunā ai e ahau tōku mata ki a rātou, heoi tukua ana rātou e ahau ki te ringa o ō rātou hoariri; ā, hinga katoa ana i te hoari. 24 Ko tāku i mea ai ki a rātou rite tonu ki tō rātou poke, ki ō rātou pokanga kētanga, ā, hunā ana e ahau tōku mata ki a rātou.

25 "Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Ka whakahokia mai e ahau āianei a Hākopa i te whakarau, ka aroha ahau ki te whare katoa o Īharaira; ka hae hoki ahau, he whakaaro ki tōku ingoa tapu. 26 Ā, ka whakawahā e rātou tō rātou whakamā, ō rātou pokanga kētanga katoa hoki i poka kē ai tā rātou ki ahau, ina noho hūmārie rātou i tō rātou whenua, ā, kāhore he tangata hei whakawehi i a rātou. 27 Ina oti rātou te whakahoki mai e ahau i roto i ngā iwi, ina kohikohia mai rātou i ngā whenua o ō rātou hoariri, ā, ka whakatapua ahau i runga i a rātou i te tirohanga a ngā iwi maha. 28 Kātahi rātou ka mōhio ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō rātou Atua, i mea nei kia whakaraua rātou ki roto ki ngā tauiwi, i kohikohi anō i a rātou ki tō rātou oneone; ā, kāhore noa iho tētahi o rātou e mahue i ahau ki reira. 29 E kore anō e hunā e ahau tōku mata ā muri ake nei ki a rātou. Kua ringihia hoki e ahau tōku wairua ki runga ki te whare o Īharaira, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā."
