Ezekiel 24
1 And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i te iwa o nga tau, i te tekau o nga marama, i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, i mea,
2 Son of man, put down in writing this very day: The king of Babylon let loose the weight of his attack against Jerusalem on this very day.
E te tama a te tangata, tuhituhia te ingoa o tenei ra, o tenei ra kotahi rawa nei: ko te tino ra tenei i anga nui ai te kingi o Papurona ki Hiruharama.
3 And make a comparison for this uncontrolled people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Put on the cooking-pot, put it on the fire and put water in it:
Korerotia hoki tetahi kupu whakarite ki te whare whakakeke, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Whakaekea te kohua, whakaekea, ringihia ano he wai ki roto.
4 And get the bits together, the fat tail, every good part, the leg and the top part of it: make it full of the best bones.
Kohikohia ano ona wahi ki roto, nga wahi pai katoa, te huha, te peke; whakakiia ki nga wheua pai rawa.
5 Take the best of the flock, put much wood under it: see that its bits are boiling well; let the bones be cooked inside it.
Tikina te hipi pai rawa, me haupu nga wheua ki raro i a ia; kia nui te koropuputanga; ae ra, kohuatia ona wheua ki roto.
6 For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Aue, te mate mo te pa toto, me te kohua he waikura nei tona, kihai nei tona waikura i tahia! whakaputaina ki waho tenei wahi ona, tenei wahi ona; kahore tetahi rota i tau ki runga i a ia.
7 For her blood is in her; she has put it on the open rock not draining it on to the earth so that it might be covered with dust;
No te mea kei roto i a ia ona toto, kua waiho e ia ki runga ki te kamaka; kihai i ringihia e ia ki te whenua, kia hipokina ai ki te puehu;
8 In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered.
He mea kia puta ake ai te weriweri ki te rapu utu, kua waiho e ahau ona toto ki runga ki te kamaka, kei hipokina.
9 For this cause the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood! and I will make great the burning mass.
Na reira tenei kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Aue, te mate mo te pa toto! maku ano e whakanui tona puranga wahie.
10 Put on much wood, heating up the fire, boiling the flesh well, and making the soup thick, and let the bones be burned.
Purangatia te wahie, whakaungia te ahi, kia pai rawa te kohua i nga kiko; meatia marietia kia pupuru nga kai, kia wera hoki nga wheua.
11 And I will put her on the coals so that she may be heated and her brass burned, so that what is unclean in her may become soft and her waste be completely taken away.
Ka tu kau, whakaturia ki runga ki ona ngarahu, kia mahana ai, kia wera ai tona parahi, kia rewa ai tona poke i roto, kia poto ai te waikura.
12 I have made myself tired to no purpose: still all the waste which is in her has not come out, it has an evil smell.
Kua hoha ia i te mahi; otiia kihai tona waikura nui i puta atu i roto i a ia; kahore tona waikura i kore i te ahi.
13 As for your unclean purpose: because I have been attempting to make you clean, but you have not been made clean from it, you will not be made clean till I have let loose my passion on you in full measure.
He he kei roto i tou poke: na, mea noa ahau i a koe kia ma, a kihai koe i ma; mo reira e kore tou poke e whakamakia a muri ake nei, kia makona ra ano toku riri ki a koe.
14 I the Lord have said the word and I will do it; I will not go back or have mercy, and my purpose will not be changed; in the measure of your ways and of your evil doings you will be judged, says the Lord.
Naku, na Ihowa te kupu: ka rite, ka mahia ano e ahau, e kore taku e taka, e kore ano ahau, e manawapa, e kore e ripeneta; ka rite ki ou ara, ka rite ki au mahi ta ratou whakawa mou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
16 Son of man, see, I am taking away the desire of your eyes by disease: but let there be no sorrow or weeping or drops running from your eyes.
E te tama a te tangata, ka tangohia mai e ahau i tou taha ta ou kanohi i hiahia ai, ka whakapangia ki te mate: kaua ano ia e uhungatia, kaua e tangihia, kaua ou roimata e puta.
17 Let there be no sound of sorrow; make no weeping for your dead, put on your head-dress and your shoes on your feet, let not your lips be covered, and do not take the food of those in grief.
E tangi, engari kia ngawari; kauaka he uhunga tupapaku, herea tou tupare ki runga ki a koe, kuhua ano ou hu ki ou waewae, kaua ano ou ngutu e araia, kaua ano e kainga te taro tangata.
18 So in the morning I was teaching the people and in the evening death took my wife; and in the morning I did what I had been ordered to do.
Heoi i korero ahau ki te iwi i te ata; a i te ahiahi ka mate toku hoa wahine: na i te ata ka meatia e ahau te mea i whakahaua ki ahau.
19 And the people said to me, Will you not make clear to us the sense of these things; is it for us you do them?
Na ka mea te iwi ki ahau, E kore ianei e korerotia e koe ki a matou, he aha mo matou ena mea e meatia na e koe?
20 Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ano ra ko ahau ki a ratou, I puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
21 Say to the people of Israel, The Lord has said, See, I will make my holy place unclean, the pride of your strength, the pleasure of your eyes, and the desire of your soul; and your sons and daughters, who did not come with you here, will be put to the sword.
Mea atu ki te whare o Iharaira, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Tenei ahau te whakapoke nei i toku wahi tapu, i ta koutou i whakaii ai, i ta koutou kanohi e hiahia nei, i te mea e manawapatia ana e to koutou wairua: na, ko a koutou tama, k o a koutou tamahine, i mahue nei ki a koutou, ka hinga i te hoari.
22 And you will do as I have done, not covering your lips or taking the food of those in grief.
A ko ta koutou e mea ai ka rite ki taku i mea nei: e kore o koutou ngutu e araia, e kore ano koutou e kai i te taro tangata.
23 And your head-dresses will be on your heads and your shoes on your feet: there will be no sorrow or weeping; but you will be wasting away in the punishment of your evil-doing, and you will be looking at one another in wonder.
E mau ano o koutou tupare ki o koutou mahunga, o koutou hu ki o koutou waewae; e kore koutou e uhunga, e kore e tangi; engari ka memehia atu i runga i o koutou he, ka koingo ki tetahi, ki tetahi.
24 And Ezekiel will be a sign to you; everything he has done you will do: when this takes place, you will be certain that I am the Lord.
A hei tohu a Ehekiera ki a koutou: ka rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ta koutou e mea ai: ka pa mai tenei, ka mohio koutou ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.
25 And as for you, son of man, your mouth will be shut in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which their hearts are fixed, and their sons and daughters.
Na, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, he teka ianei i te ra e tangohia atu ai e ahau to ratou kaha, to ratou koa whakakororia, ta o ratou kanohi e hiahia ai, ta o ratou ngakau e okaka tonu ai, a ratou tama, a ratou tamahine,
26 In that day, one who has got away safe will come to you to give you news of it.
I taua ra ka haere mai te mea i mawhiti ki a koe kia rongo ai ou taringa?
27 In that day your mouth will be open to him who has got away safe, and you will say words to him and your lips will no longer be shut: so you will be a sign to them and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
I taua ra ka puaki tou mangai ki te tangata i mawhiti, a ka korero, kore ake ou wahangu; hei tohu hoki koe ki a ratou; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau
