Ezekiel 5

1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp sword. As a barber's razor thou shall take it to thee, and shall cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard. Then take thee balances to weigh and divide the hair.

Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, tikina he hoari koi mau, tikina hei heu mau, ko te heu a te kaiheu, ka whakahaere ai ki runga ki tou mahunga, ki tou pahau ano: katahi ka tiki i etahi pauna hei pauna mau, ka wehe ai i nga makawe.

2 A third part thou shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are fulfilled, and thou shall take a third part, and smite with the sword round about it, and a third part thou shall scatter to the wind. And I will draw out a sword after them.

Ko tetahi whakatoru o nga wahi me tahu e koe ki te ahi ki waenganui o te pa, ina rite nga ra o te whakapaenga: na ka mau ki tetahi whakatoru, ka hahau ki te hoari i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha: a ko tetahi whakatoru me titari atu ki te hau: ka maunu hoki i ahau te hoari hei whai i a ratou.

3 And thou shall take from it a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.

Me tango ano e koe etahi o aua makawe, kia torutoru, ka takai ki roto ki nga pito o tou.

4 And of these again thou shall take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire shall come forth into all the house of Israel.

Me tango etahi 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 Iharaira.

5 Thus says the lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are round about her.

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko Hiruharama tenei; he mea whakatu ia naku ki waenga o nga iwi, a ko nga whenua e karapoi ana i a ia.

6 And she has rebelled against my 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 my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.

A kua whakakeke ia ki aku whakaritenga, nui atu hoki tana mahi kino i ta nga iwi, ki aku tikanga hoki, nui atu i ta nga whenua i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha: kua paopao nei hoki ratou ki aku whakaritenga, a kihai i waiho e ratou aku tikanga he i ara mo ratou.

7 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Because ye are more disorderly than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, nor have kept my ordinances, no, ye have not even done according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you,

No reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, I te mea kua nui ake to koutou tutu i to nga iwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha, kihai hoki koutou i haere i runga i aku tikanga, kihai i mahi i aku whakaritenga, kihai ano i rite ta koutou ma hi ki nga ritenga a nga iwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha;

8 therefore thus says 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.

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana ko ahau, ko ahau rawa nei, hei hoariri mou; a ka whakaritea e ahau he whakaritenga i waenganui ou i te tirohanga a nga iwi.

9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and of which I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

Ka mahia ano e ahau i roto i a koe he mea kihai i mahia e ahau i mua, e kore he pena e mahia e ahau a muri; mo au mea whakarihariha katoa hoki.

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 I will scatter to all the winds the whole remnant of thee.

A ka kai nga matua i nga tamariki i roto i a koe, ka kai ano nga tamariki i o ratou matua; ka mahia ano e ahau he whakaritenga i roto i a koe, ka titaria atu ano e ahau ou morehu katoa ki nga hau katoa.

11 Therefore, as I live, says the lord Jehovah, surely, because thou have defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore I also will diminish thee, nor shall my eye spare. And I also will have no pity.

Mo reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, kua whakapokea nei e koe toku wahi tapu ki au mea whakarihariha katoa, ki au mea anuanu katoa, mo reira ka tino whakaititia ano koe e ahau; e kore toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ano ahau e to hu.

12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and they shall be consumed with famine in the midst of thee, and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee, and a third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.

Ka mate tetahi whakatoru ou i te mate uruta, ka poto atu hoki i te hemokai i roto i a koe; a ka hinga tetahi whakatoru ou i te hoari i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha: na, ko tetahi whakatoru, ka titaria e ahau ki nga hau katoa, ka maunu ano i aha u te hoari hei whai i a ratou.

13 Thus my anger shall 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.

Na ka whakapaua atu toku riri, ka meinga ano e ahau kia tutuki toku weriweri ki runga ki a ratou, ka whai whakamarietanga ano ahau; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau te korero nei i runga i toku hae, ina whakapaua e ahau toku weriweri ki runga ki a ratou.

14 Moreover I will make thee a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all who pass by.

Ka meinga ano koe e ahau hei ururua, hei ingoa kino i roto i nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, i te tirohanga a nga tangata katoa e haere atu ana.

15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, a lesson and an astonishment, to 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-

Heoi ka waiho a kona hei ingoa kino, hei tawainga, hei mea e ako ai, e miharo ai nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, ina mahia e ahau nga whakaritenga ki a koe i runga i te riri, i te weriweri, i nga whakatupehupehu, aritarita rawa: naku, n a Ihowa te kupu,

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.

Ina tukua e ahau ki a ratou nga pere kino o te hemokai, hei whakamoti, ko aku e tuku atu ai hei whakamoti i a koutou; ka whakanuia ano e ahau to koutou hemokai, whati iho to koutou tokotoko, ara te taro.

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.

Ka tukua atu ano e ahau te hemokai ki a koutou, me nga kirehe kikino, a ka poto i a ratou au tamariki; ka tika atu ano te mate uruta me te whakaheke toto i waenganui i a koe; ka kawea atu ano e ahau te hoari ki a koe. Naku na Ihowa te kupu.
