Ezekiel 26
1 In the eleventh month of the twelfth year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Na i te tekau ma tahi o nga tau, i te tahi o nga ra o te marama, i puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
2 “Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, ‘Aha! The gate to the nations is broken; it has swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will be filled,’
E te tama a te tangata, kua mea na a Taira ki Hiruharama, Ha, kua pakaru ia, te kuwaha o nga iwi; kua anga mai ia ki ahau; ka whakakiia ahau, i a ia ka ururua nei:
3 therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, O Tyre, I am against you, and I will raise up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, hei hoariri tenei ahau mou, e Taira, a ka meinga e ahau nga iwi maha kia eke ake ki a koe, kia pera ano me te moana e mea nei i ona ngaru kia eke ake.
4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and demolish her towers. I will scrape the soil from her and make her a bare rock.
A ka kore i a ratou nga taiepa o Taira, ka pakaru ano ona pourewa i a ratou; ka tahia atu ano e ahau tona puehu i runga i a ia, ka meinga ia kia rite ki te kamaka moremore.
5 She will become a place to spread nets in the sea, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD. She will become plunder for the nations,
Ka waiho ia hei horahanga kupenga i waenga moana: naku hoki te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa: ka waiho hoki ia hei pahuatanga ma nga iwi.
6 and the villages on her mainland will be slain by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’
Na, ko ana tamahine i te mara, ka tukitukia e te hoari; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
7 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with cavalry and a great company of troops.
No te mea ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tenei te kawea atu nei e ahau i te raki ki Taira a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, kingi o nga kingi, me nga hoiho, me nga hariata, me nga kaieke hoiho, me te huihui, me te iwi nui.
8 He will slaughter the villages of your mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp to your walls, and raise his shields against you.
Ka patua e ia ki te hoari au tamahine i te mara: ka hanga ano e ia he taumaihi hei tatau ki a koe, ka haupuria ake ano he pukepuke hei tatau ki a koe, ka ara ano i a ia te puapua ki a koe.
9 He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his axes.
Ka whakaturia ano e ia nga mea whawhai ki ou taiepa, ka wahia ano e ia ou pourewa ki ana titaha.
10 His multitude of horses will cover you in their dust. When he enters your gates as an army entering a breached city, your walls will shake from the noise of cavalry, wagons, and chariots.
I te tini o ana hoiho, ka taupokina koe e to ratou puehu; ka ngarue ou taiepa i te haruru o nga kaieke hoiho, o nga kata, o nga hariata, ina tomokia e ia ou kuwaha, ina pera ia me te hunga e tomo ana ki roto ki te pa kua pakaru.
11 The hooves of his horses will trample all your streets. He will slaughter your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground.
Ka takatakahia ou ara katoa e nga paua o ana hoiho; ka tukitukia e ia tou iwi ki te hoari, ka riro iho ano nga pou o tou kaha ki te whenua.
12 They will plunder your wealth and pillage your merchandise. They will demolish your walls, tear down your beautiful homes, and throw your stones and timber and soil into the water.
Ka pahuatia e ratou ou taonga, a hei taonga parakete au mea hokohoko: ka wahia iho ou taiepa, ka pakaru ou whare e matenuitia ana e koe: ka maka ano e ratou ou kohatu, ou rakau, me tou puehu, ki te wai.
13 So I will silence the sound of your songs, and the music of your lyres will no longer be heard.
Ka mutu ano i ahau te ngahau o au waiata, e kore ano te tangi o au hapa e rangona a muri ake nei.
14 I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread the fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.’
A ka meinga koe e ahau kia rite ki te kamaka moremore: ka waiho koe hei horahanga kupenga; e kore koe e hanga a muri ake nei: naku hoki, na Ihowa te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
15 This is what the Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Will not the coastlands quake at the sound of your downfall, when the wounded groan at the slaughter in your midst?
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa ki a Taira, E kore ianei nga motu e wiri i te haruru o tou hinganga, ina aue te tangata i werohia, ina hinga te parekura i roto i a koe?
16 All the princes of the sea will descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled over you.
Ko reira hoki nga rangatira katoa o te moana heke iho ai i runga i o ratou torona; ko o ratou koroka whakarere rawa, ko o ratou kakahu whakairo unu rawa: ko te kakahu mo ratou ko te wiri; ka noho ki te whenua, hono tonu te wiri, ketekete tonu ki a koe.
17 Then they will lament for you, saying, “How you have perished, O city of renown inhabited by seafaring men— she who was powerful on the sea, along with her people, who imposed terror on all peoples!
A ka maranga ta ratou tangi mou, ka mea ratou ki a koe, Taukiri e, kua ngaro koe, e te pa o te hunga rere moana: e te pa ingoa nui i kaha nei i runga i te moana, a ia me ona tangata ano, e mea nei i to ratou wehi kia pa ki nga tangata katoa e ta kataka ana i reira!
18 Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your downfall; the islands in the sea are dismayed by your demise.”’
Akuanei nga motu wiri ai i te ra e hinga ai koe; ina, ka ohorere nga motu o te moana i a koe ka riro.
19 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I make you a desolate city like other deserted cities, and when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you,
No te mea ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; I te wa e meinga ai koe e ahau hei pa kua ururuatia, kia rite ki nga pa kahore e nohoia; i te wa e kawea atu ai e ahau te rire ki runga ki a koe, a ka taupokina koe e nga wai nunui;
20 then I will bring you down with those who descend to the Pit, to the people of antiquity. I will make you dwell in the earth below like the ancient ruins, with those who descend to the Pit, so that you will no longer be inhabited or set in splendor in the land of the living.
Ko reira whakahokia iho ai koe e ahau ki raro, koutou ko te hunga e heke ana ki te rua, ki nga tangata onamata, a ka meinga koe kia noho ki nga wahi o raro o te whenua, ki nga wahi mokemoke onamata, i roto i te hunga e heke ana ki te poka, kore iho koe e nohoia; a ka hoatu e ahau he kororia ki te whenua o te hunga ora;
21 I will make you an object of horror, and you will be no more. You will be sought, but will never be found,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
Ka meinga koe e ahau hei wehi, a moti iho koe: ka rapua ano koe, a kore noa iho e kitea a ake ake, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
