Ezekiel 33
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 “Son of man, speak to your people and tell them: ‘Suppose I bring the sword against a land, and the people of that land choose a man from among them, appointing him as their watchman,
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku i na keiki o kou poe kanaka, ei aku ia lakou, O ka aina, ina lawe au i ka pahikaua maluna ona, a lawe na kanaka o ka aina i ke kanaka o ko lakou mau palena, a e hooku ia ia i kiai no lakou;
3 and he sees the sword coming against that land and blows the ram’s horn to warn the people.
Aia ike ia i ka pahikaua e hele mai ana maluna o ka aina, ina e pupuhi oia i ka pu e ao aku i kanaka;
4 Then if anyone hears the sound of the horn but fails to heed the warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
Alaila, o ka mea lohe i ke kani ana o ka pu, aole hoi i malama i ke ao ana; a ina hele mai ka pahikaua, a lawe aku ia ia, aia no kona koko maluna o kona poo iho.
5 Since he heard the sound of the horn but failed to heed the warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved his life.
O ke kani ana o ka pu kana i lohe ai, aka, aole ia i malama i ke ao ana; aia maluna ona iho hoi kona koko: aka, o ka mea malama i ke ao ana, e hoopakele oia i kona ola iho.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and fails to blow the horn to warn the people, and the sword comes and takes away a life, then that one will be taken away in his iniquity, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.’
Aka, ina ike ke kiai i ka hele ana mai o ka pahikaua, aole hoi pupuhi i ka pu, aole hoi e aoia na kanaka; a hele mai ka pahikaua, a e lawe aku i kekahi maiwaena aku o lakou, ua laweia'ku oia maloko o kona hewa; aka, e kii aku au i kona koko ma ka lima o ke kiai.
7 As for you, O son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word from My mouth and give them the warning from Me.
Pela no oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua hooku au ia oe i kiai no ka ohana a Iseraela; nolaila e hoolohe oe i ka olelo ma ko'u waha, a e ao aku ia lakou na'u aku no.
8 If I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ but you do not speak out to dissuade him from his way, then that wicked man will die in his iniquity, yet I will hold you accountable for his blood.
Aia olelo au i ke kanaka hewa, E ke kanaka hewa, e make io no oe; ina aole oe e olelo aku e ao aku i ua kanaka la no kona aoao, e make no ia kanaka hewa maloko o kona hewa; aka, e kii aku no au i kona koko ma kou lima.
9 But if you warn the wicked man to turn from his way, and he does not turn from it, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life.
Aka, ina e ao aku oe i ka mea hewa no kona aoao, aole hoi i huli mai, mai koua aoao mai, e make no ia iloko o kona hewa; aka, ua hoopakele oe i kou uhane iho.
10 Now as for you, son of man, tell the house of Israel that this is what they have said: ‘Our transgressions and our sins are heavy upon us, and we are wasting away because of them! How can we live?’
A o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe i ka ohana a Iseraela, Ke olelo nei oukou, i ka i ana, Ina eia maluna o kakou ko kakou mau hala a me ko kakou mau hewa, a olala ae kakou maloko oia mau mea, pehea la hoi kakou e ola'i?
11 Say to them: ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked should turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’
E olelo aku ia lakou, Ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aohe o'u oluolu i ka make ana o ka mea hewa; aka hoi, e huli mai ka mea hewa, mai kona aoao mai, a e ola ia; e huli mai, e huli mai oukou mai ko oukou mau aoao hewa mai; no ke aha la oukou e make ai, e ka ohana a Iseraela?
12 Therefore, son of man, say to your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked man cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. Nor will the righteous man be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.’
Nolaila, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku i na keiki a kou poe kanaka, Aole ka pono o ka mea pono e hoopakele ia ia i ka la e hewa ai ia: a o ka hewa o ka mea hewa, aole oia e haule ilaila i ka la e huli ai oia mai kona hewa mai: aole hoi e hiki i ka mea pono ke ola nona, i kona la e hana hewa ai.
13 If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but he then trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, then none of his righteous works will be remembered; he will die because of the iniquity he has committed.
Aia olelo aku au i ka mea pono, e ola io no ia; ina e hilinai oia ma kona pono iho, a hana hewa hoi, e pau no kona pono i ka hoomanao ole ia; aka, no kona hewa ana i hana'i, e make ai no ia.
14 But if I tell the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does what is just and right—
A i ka wa e olelo aku ai au i ka mea hewa, E make io no oe; ina e huli mai ia, mai kona hewa mai, a hana hoi i ka mea pono a me ka pololei;
15 if he restores a pledge, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity—then he will surely live; he will not die.
Ina e hoihoi aku ka mea hewa i ka waiwai kaohi a ka aie, a ua hoihoi aku hoi i ka waiwai ana i lawe wale ai, a ua hele hoi ma na kanawai e ola'i, me ka hana hewa ole; e ola io no ia, aole ia e make.
16 None of the sins he has committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
Aole loa ka hewa ana i hana'i e haiia'ku ia ia; ua hana oia i ka mea pono a me ka pololei, e ola io no ia.
17 Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just.
Aka, ke olelo nei na keiki o kou poe kanaka, Aole kaulike na aoao o ka Haku; aka, o lakou, aole kaulike ko lakou aoao.
18 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die for it.
A huli ae ka mea pono mai kona pono ae, a hana ma ka hewa, e make no hoi ia malaila.
19 But if a wicked man turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of this.
A huli ae ka mea hewa mai kona hewa ae, a hana hoi i ka mea pono a me ka pololei, e ola no ia malaila.
20 Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But I will judge each of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.”
Aka, ke olelo nei oukou, Aole kaulike na aoao o ka Haku. E hooponopono aku au ia oukou, kela kanaka keia kanaka, e like me kona aoao, e ka ohana a Iseraela.
21 In the twelfth year of our exile, on the fifth day of the tenth month, a fugitive from Jerusalem came to me and reported, “The city has been taken!”
Eia keia, i ka umikumamalua o ka makahiki o ko kakou pio ana, i ka malama umi, i ka la alima o ka malama, hele mai io'u nei kekahi i pakele, mai Ierusalema mai, i mai la, Ua pepehiia ke kulanakauhale.
22 Now the evening before the fugitive arrived, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He opened my mouth before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer mute.
A ua kau mai ka lima o Iehova maluna o'u i ke ahiahi mamua o ka hiki ana mai io'u nei o ka mea i pakele; a ua wehe mai i kuu waha, a hiki mai ia i ke kakahiaka; a ua weheia kuu waha, aole au i leopaa hou aku.
23 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Alaila, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
24 “Son of man, those living in the ruins in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land. But we are many; surely the land has been given to us as a possession.’
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, o ka poe i noho ma keia mau wahi neoneo o ka aina o ka Iseraela, ke olelo nei lakou, i ka i ana, Hookahi no o Aberahama, a ua ili ka aina ia ia; a he nui no hoi kakou, a ua haawi mai ka aina no kakou i waiwai ili.
25 Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You eat meat with the blood in it, lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. Should you then possess the land?
Nolaila, e olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, Ua ai oukou me ke koko, a ua leha ae i ko oukou mau maka i ko oukou poe akuakii, a ua hookahe i ke koko; e loaa anei ia oukou ka aina?
26 You have relied on your swords, you have committed detestable acts, and each of you has defiled his neighbor’s wife. Should you then possess the land?’
Ke ku nei oukou maluna o ka oukou pahikaua, ke hana nei oukou i ka mea inainaia; ke hoohaumia nei oukou, kela kanaka keia kanaka, i ka wahine a kona hoalauna; e loaa anei ia oukou ka aina?
27 Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘As surely as I live, those in the ruins will fall by the sword, those in the open field I will give to be devoured by wild animals, and those in the strongholds and caves will die by plague.
Penei e olelo aku ai ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Ma ko'u ola ana, o ka poe ma na wahi neoneo, e haule lakou i ka pahikaua, a o ka mea ma ke kula mawaho ka'u e haawi aku ai i na holoholona hihiu, e pau ai i ka aiia; a o ka poe maloko o na pakaua a me na ana, e make no lakou i ka mai ahulau.
28 I will make the land a desolate waste, and the pride of her strength will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will become desolate, so that no one will pass through.
E haawi au i ka aina i neoneo loa, a e oki ka hanohano o kona ikaika; a e neoneo no hoi na mauna o ka Iseraela, aole mea e hele ae mawaena.
29 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the abominations they have committed.’
Alaila e ike lakou owau no Iehova, aia haawi au i ka aina i neoneo loa, no na mea inainaia a lakou i hana'i.
30 As for you, son of man, your people are talking about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One speaks to another, each saying to his brother, ‘Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD!’
A o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, ke kamailio ku e nei na keiki a kou poe kanaka ia oe, ma na paia, a ma na puka o na hale, a ua olelo kekahi i kekahi, kela mea keia mea i kona hoahanau, e i ana, E hele mai oukou, ea, a e hoolohe i ka olelo i hiki mai, mai Iehova mai.
31 So My people come to you as usual, sit before you, and hear your words; but they do not put them into practice. Although they express love with their mouths, their hearts pursue dishonest gain.
A ua hele lakou iou la, e like me ka hele ana o kanaka, a ua noho lakou imua ou e like me ko'u poe kanaka, a ua lohe lakou i kau mau olelo, aole hoi lakou e malama aku ia; no ka mea, me ko lakou waha, ua hoike lakou i ke aloha nui. aka, me ko lakou naau, ua hahai lakou mamuli o ko lakou makee waiwai.
32 Indeed, you are to them like a singer of love songs with a beautiful voice, who skillfully plays an instrument. They hear your words but do not put them into practice.
Ua lilo oe ia lakou me he mele makemakeia la a ka mea leo oluolu a e hiki ia ia ke hula pono ma ka mea kani; no ka mea, ua lohe lakou i kau mau olelo, aole nae lakou e hana malaila.
33 So when it comes to pass—and surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
Aia hiki mai keia mea; aia hoi, e hiki mai no ia, alaila e ike no lakou, he kanla ka iwaena o lakou.
