< Ezekiel 2 >
1 And he said to me, Son of man, get up on your feet, so that I may say words to you.
I MAI la hoi oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e ku iluna oe ma kou mau wawae, a e olelo aku no au ia oe.
2 And at his words the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and his voice came to my ears.
A komo mai la ka uhane iloko o'u i kana olelo ana ia'u, a hooku ia'u ma ko'u mau wawae, a lohe au i ka mea olelo mai ia'u.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to an uncontrolled nation which has gone against me: they and their fathers have been sinners against me even to this very day.
Olelo mai la hoi ia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ke hoouna aku nei au ia oe i na mamo a Iseraela, i ka lahuikanaka kipi i kipi ia'u; ua hana hewa lakou a me ko lakou mau makua ia'u a hiki i keia la.
4 And the children are hard and stiff-hearted; I am sending you to them: and you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord.
No ka mea, he poe keiki maka oolea lakou a me ka naau paakiki, a e olelo aku oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei.
5 And they, if they give ear to you or if they do not give ear (for they are an uncontrolled people), will see that there has been a prophet among them.
A o lakou, ina lohe paha, a lohe ole paha, (no ka mea, he ohana kipi lakou, ) e ike no hoi lakou he kaula no ka iwaena o lakou.
6 And you, son of man, have no fear of them or of their words, even if sharp thorns are round you and you are living among scorpions: have no fear of their words and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.
A o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, mai makau aku ia lakou, aole hoi i ka lakou mau olelo, ina he mau laau oioi a me ke kakalaioa kekahi me oe, a noho oe iwaena o na moohueloawa, mai noho a weliweli oe i ka lakou mau olelo, aole hoi i ko lakou mau helehelena, ina no he ohana kipi lakou.
7 And you are to give them my words, if they give ear to you or if they do not: for they are uncontrolled.
A e olelo aku oe i ka'u mau olelo ia lakou, ina lohe lakou, a ina lohe ole lakou; no ka mea, he poe kipi loa lakou.
8 But you, son of man, give ear to what I say to you, and do not be uncontrolled like that uncontrolled people: let your mouth be open and take what I give you.
Aka o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoolohe mai i ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe; mai noho a kipi oe e like me kela ohana kipi, e oaka kou waha a e ai i ka mea a'u e haawi aku ai ia oe.
9 And looking, I saw a hand stretched out to me, and I saw the roll of a book in it;
A i ko'u nana ana, aia hoi, ua hoounaia mai kekahi lima ia'u; aia hoi, maloko ona he owili palapala;
10 And he put it open before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back; words of grief and sorrow and trouble were recorded in it.
A hohola mai la oia ia mea imua o ko'u alo; a ua kakauia maloko a mawaho, a ua kakania hoi malaila: NA KANIKAU, A ME KA UWE ANA, A ME KA POINO.
