< Jezekiel 23 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
2 Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:
E te tama a te tangata, tokorua nga wahine i mua, he tamahine na te whaea kotahi.
3 and they went a-whoring in Egypt in their youth: there their breasts fell, there they lost their virginity.
Heoi moepuku ana ki Ihipa; moepuku ana i to raua tamarikitanga: i romia o raua u ki reira, i mirimiria ki reira nga matamata o to raua wahinetanga.
4 And their names were Oola the elder, and Ooliba her sister: and they were mine, and bore sons and daughters: and [as for] their names, Samaria was Oola, and Jerusalem was Ooliba.
Na, ko o raua ingoa, ko Ohora to te tuakana, ko Ohoripa to te teina: a i riro raua i ahau, i whanau hoki he tama, he tamahine ma raua. Na, mo o raua ingoa, ko Hamaria a Ohora, ko Hiruharama a Ohoripa.
5 And Oola went a-whoring from me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that were her neighbors,
Na, kua kairau a Ohora i te mea i ahau ano ia, minamina atu ana ki ana i aroha ai, ki ona hoa tata, ki nga Ahiriana,
6 clothed with purple, princes and captains; [they were] young men and choice, all horseman riding on horses.
He puru nei o ratou kakahu, he ariki, he kawana, he taitamariki, e minaminatia ratou katoa, he tangata hoiho, e eke ana ki te hoiho.
7 And she bestowed her fornication upon them; all were choice sons of the Assyrians: and on whomsoever she doted herself, with them she defiled herself in all [their] devices.
Heoi kei te mahi kairau ia ki a ratou, ki nga tangata papai rawa o nga tama o Ahiria, ki a ratou katoa; a ahakoa ko wai i minaminatia e ia, whakapoke ana ia i a ia ano ki a ratou whakapakoko katoa.
8 And she forsook not her fornication with the Egyptians: for in her youth they committed fornication with her, and they deflowered her, and poured out their fornication upon her.
Kihai ano i mahue i a ia ana moepuku mai o nga ra o Ihipa; i takoto hoki ratou ki a ia i tona tamarikitanga, a mirimiria ana e ratou nga matamata o tona wahinetanga, ringihia ana e ratou a ratou moepuku ki runga ki a ia.
9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the children of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
Na reira ia i tukua ai e ahau ki te ringa o te hunga i arohaina e ia, ki te ringa o nga tamariki o Ahiria, o ana i minamina ai.
10 They uncovered her shame: they took her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became a byword among women: and they wrought vengeance in her for the sake of the daughters.
A hurahia ana ia e ratou kia noho tahanga; tangohia ana e ratou ana tama, ana tamahine, patua iho ia e ratou ki te hoari; a whai ingoa ana ia i roto i nga wahine; i mahia hoki e ratou he whakawa ki a ia.
11 And her sister Ooliba saw [it], and she indulged in her fondness more corruptly than she, and in her fornication more than the fornication of her sister.
A ka kite tona teina, a Ohoripa, i tenei, otiia i nui atu te kino o tona minamina i to tera, ona moepuku hoki i nui atu i o tona tuakana.
12 She doted upon the sons of the Assyrian, princes and captains, her neighbours, clothed with fine linen, horsemen riding on horses; [they were] all choice young men.
Minamina ana ia ki nga Ahiriana, ki ona hoa tata, ki nga ariki, ki nga kawana, he pai rawa nei nga kakahu, he tangata hoiho e eke ana ki te hoiho, ko ratou katoa he tamariki e minaminatia.
13 And I saw that they were defiled, [that] the two [had] one way.
Na ka kite ahau kua poke ia, kotahi tonu te ara o raua tokorua.
14 And she increased her fornication, and she saw men painted on the wall, likenesses of the Chaldeans painted with a pencil,
Kua neke ake ano ona moepuku: i kite hoki ia i nga tangata kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pakitara, i nga whakaahua o nga Karari, he mea tuhituhi ki te whero pai,
15 having variegated girdles on their loins, having also richly dyed [attire] upon their heads; all had a princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their native land.
He mea whitiki o ratou hope ki te whitiki, o ratou mahunga mea rawa ki te kakahu kua oti te rongoa, he rangatira katoa ki te titiro; ko te ahua kei to nga tama o Papurona, o Karari, o te whenua i whanau ai ratou:
16 And she doted upon them as soon as she saw them, and sent forth messengers to them into the land of the Chaldeans.
A, no te kitenga o ona kanohi i a ratou, minamina tonu ki a ratou, tukua ana e ia he karere ki a ratou, ki Karari.
17 And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of rest, and they defiled her in her fornication, and she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.
Na ka haere mai ki a ia o nga tamariki o Papurona ki te moenga aroha, whakapokea ana ia e ratou ki a ratou moepuku: heoi ka whakapokea nei e ratou, na ngakaukore noa iho ia ki a ratou.
18 And she exposed her fornication, and exposed her shame: and my soul was alienated from her, even as my soul was alienated from her sister.
Heoi ka whakakitea e ia ona moepuku, ka whakakitea ano ia e noho tahanga ana: na ngakaukore noa iho ahau ki a ia, pera tonu me ahau i ngakaukore ra ki tona tuakana.
19 And thou didst multiply thy fornication, so as to call to remembrance the days of thy youth, wherein thou didst commit whoredom in Egypt,
Heoi whakanuia ana e ia ona moepuku, me te mahara ano ia ki nga ra o tona tamarikitanga i a ia i kairau ra ki te whenua o Ihipa.
20 and thou didst dote upon the Chaldeans, whose flesh is as the flesh of the asses, and their members [as] the members of horses.
I minamina hoki ia ki o ratou hoa moepuku, he kikokiko kaihe nei o ratou kikokiko; a, ko te mea e tarere mai ana i roto i a ratou rite tonu ki te mea e tarere mai ana i roto i te hoiho.
21 And thou didst look upon the iniquity of thy youth, [the things] which thou wroughtest in Egypt in thy lodgings, where were the breasts of thy youth.
Na kua hokia nei e koe nga he o tou tamarikitanga i nga matamata o ou u i mirimiria ra e nga Ihipiana, he meatanga ki nga u o tou tamarikitanga.
22 Therefore, Ooliba, thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] stir up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them upon thee round about,
Mo reira, e Ohoripa, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana, ka ara i ahau ou hoa aroha hei hoariri mou, era kua ngakaukore na koe ki a ratou, ka kawea mai ano ratou e ahau ki a koe ki nga taha katoa;
23 the children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Phacuc, and Sue, and Hychue, and all the sons of the Assyrians with them; choice young men, governors and captains, all princes and renowned, riding on horses.
Ko nga tangata o Papurona, ratou ko nga Karari katoa, a Pekoro, a Hoa, a Koa, ratou ko nga Ahiriana katoa: he taitamariki ratou katoa e minaminatia, he ariki, he kawana, he rangatira, he rongo nui, he eke hoiho katoa.
24 And they all shall come upon thee from the north, chariots and wheels, with a multitude of nations, shields and targets; and [the enemy] shall set a watch against thee round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall take vengeance on thee with their judgments.
A ka haere mai ratou ki te whawhai ki a koe, me nga mea mo te whawhai, he hariata ano o ratou, he kata, he whakaminenga iwi; rite rawa i a ratou te puapua, te whakangungu rakau, te potae, hei whawhai ki a koe i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha: ka tuk ua ano e ahau te whakawa ki to ratou aroaro, a ka rite ki a ratou whakaritenga ta ratou whakarite mou.
25 And I will bring upon thee my jealousy, and they shall deal with thee in great wrath: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and shall cast down thy remnant with the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy remnant fire shall devour.
Ka whakataua ano e ahau toku hae ki a koe, a ka mahi weriweri ratou ki a koe: ka riro ano tou ihu i a ratou, me ou taringa; ka hinga ano hoki ou morehu i te hoari: ka tangohia atu e ratou au tama me au tamahine; ka pau ano ou morehu i te ahi.
26 And they shall strip thee of thy raiment, and take [away] thine ornaments.
Ka huia atu ano e ratou ou kakahu, ka tangohia ano ou mea ataahua.
27 So I will turn back thine ungodliness from thee, and thy fornication from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt not lift up thine eyes upon them, and shalt no more remember Egypt.
Heoi ka meinga e ahau tou he kia mutu, me tou moepuku i timata mai ra i te whenua o Ihipa; kia kore ai ou kanohi e ara ki aua mea, kia kore ai ano koe e mahara ki Ihipa a muri ake nei.
28 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I [will] deliver thee into the hands of those whom thou hatest, from whom thy soul is alienated.
No te mea ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tenei ahau ka hoatu nei i a koe ki te ringa o te hunga e kinongia na e koe, ki roto ki te ringa o te hunga kua ngakaukore na koe ki a ratou.
29 And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take all [the fruits] of thy labours and thy toils, and thou shalt be naked and bare: and the shame of thy fornication shall be exposed: and thy ungodliness and thy fornication
Ka mahi ano ratou i runga i te mauahara ki a koe, a ka riro ou mauiui katoa i a ratou, mahue iho koe i a ratou kahore he kakahu, noho tahanga ana: ka kitea hoki e takoto kau ana ou moepuku, tou he me ou moepuku.
30 brought this upon thee, in that thou wentest a-whoring after the nations, and didst defile thyself with their devices.
Ka meatia enei mea e ahau ki a koe mo tou whainga atu ki nga tauiwi moepuku ai, mou i poke i a ratou whakapakoko.
31 Thou didst walk in the way of thy sister; and I will put her cup into thine hands.
I haere koe i te ara o tou tuakana; na, ka hoatu e ahau tana kapu ki tou ringa.
32 Thus saith the Lord; Drink thy sister's cup, deep and large, and full, to cause complete drunkenness.
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka inumia e koe te kapu a tou tuakana, aua noa iho ki raro, nui noa atu: ka ai koe hei whakakatanga, hei taunutanga: ranea rawa taua kapu.
33 And thou shalt be thoroughly weakened; and the cup of destruction, the cup of thy sister Samaria,
Ka ki koe i te haurangi, i te pouri, i te kapu o te ketekete, o te whakangaromanga, i te kapu a tou tuakana, a Hamaria.
34 drink thou it, and I will take away her feasts and her new moons: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord.
Ka inumia ano ra e koe, tatau rawa, wawahi rawa i nga maramara, ka hae ano e koe ou u: naku hoki te korero, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
35 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Because thou has forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore receive thou [the reward] of thine ungodliness and thy fornication.
Ina, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua wareware na koe ki ahau, kua maka ano ahau e koe ki muri i tou tuara, na pikaua ano e koe tou he me ou moepuku.
36 And the Lord said to me, Son of man, wilt thou not judge Oola and Ooliba? and declare to them their iniquities?
I mea ano a Ihowa ki ahau; E te tama a te tangata, e whakawa ranei koe i a Ohora raua ko Ohoripa? whakakitea a raua mea whakarihariha ki a raua;
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood was in their hands, they committed adultery with their devices, and they passed through the fire to them their children which they bore to me.
No te mea kua moepuku raua, he toto kei o raua ringa, kua moepuku ano raua ki a raua whakapakoko; kua meinga e raua a raua tamariki, aku i whanau nei i roto i a raua kia tika i roto i te ahi, ki aua whakapakoko, pau tonu atu.
38 So long too as they did these things to me, they defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my sabbaths.
Ko tenei ano ta raua i mea ai ki ahau: i taua ra kotahi, whakapokea iho e raua toku wahi tapu, ko aku hapati kua noa i a raua.
39 And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, they also went into my sanctuary to profane it: and whereas they did thus in the midst of my house;
I ta raua patunga hoki i a raua tamariki hei mea ki a raua whakapakoko, haere ana raua i taua ra ano ki toku wahi tapu whakanoa ai; na, ko ta raua tena i mea ai i roto i toku whare.
40 and whereas they did thus to the men that came from afar, to whom they sent messengers, and as soon as they came, immediately thou didst wash thyself, and didst paint thine eyes and adorn thyself with ornaments,
I unga tangata ano koutou ki te hunga haere mai i tawhiti, he hunga i unga atu nei he karere ki a ratou; na, kua tae mai ratou; mo ratou tau horoi i a koe, mea rawa i ou kanohi ki te pukepoto, whakapaipai rawa i a koe ki nga whakapaipai;
41 and satest on a prepared bed, and before it [there was] a table set out, and [as for] mine incense and mine oil, they rejoiced in them,
Na noho ana koe, he mea kororia te moenga, i tona taha ko te tepu rite rawa; i runga ko taku whakakakara, ko taku hinu, he mea whakatakoto nau.
42 and they raised a sound of music, and [that] with men coming from the wilderness out of a multitude of men, and they put bracelets on their hands, and a crown of glory on their heads;
A i taua wahine te nge o te mano tini e noho nakohakoha ana: a i kawea mai i roto i te mano o te tangata nga haurangi o te koraha; a na ratou i whakanoho he poroporo ki o raua ringa, he karauna ataahua ki o raua mahunga.
43 Therefore I said, Do they not commit adultery with these? and has she also gone a-whoring [after] the manner of a harlot?
Katahi ahau ka mea mo taua wahine kua ruruhi nei e moepuku ana, E moepuku ano ranei ratou ki a ia, me ia ano ki a ratou?
44 And they went in to her, as [men] go in to a harlot; so they went in to Oola and to Ooliba to work iniquity.
Heoi haere ana ratou ki a ia, he pera i ta ratou haere ki te wahine moepuku: pera tonu ta ratou haere ki a Ohora, ki a Ohoripa, ki nga wahine he.
45 And they are just men, and shall take vengeance on them with the judgment of an adulteress and the judgment of blood: for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
Na, ko nga tangata tika, ma ratou raua e whakawa, he whakawa i nga wahine moepuku, he whakawa i nga wahine whakaheke toto; he wahine moepuku hoki raua, he toto kei o raua ringa.
46 Thus saith the Lord God, Bring up a multitude upon them, and send trouble and plunder into the midst of them.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka kawea mai e ahau he hui ki a raua, a ka meinga raua e ahau kia makamaka, kia pahuatia.
47 And stone them with the stones of a multitude, and pierce them with their swords: they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and shall burn up their houses.
A ka akina raua e te hui ki te kohatu, ka tapahia ki a ratou hoari; ka whakamatea a raua tama, a raua tamahine, ka tahuna ano o raua whare ki te ahi.
48 And I will remove ungodliness out of the land, and all the women shall be instructed, and shall not do according to their ungodliness.
Heoi ka meinga e ahau te puremu kia mutu i te whenua; kia ako ai nga wahine katoa kia kaua a ratou mahi e rite ki o korua he.
49 And your ungodliness shall be recompensed upon you, and ye shall bear the guilt of your devices: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Ka hoatu ano e ratou nga utu o to korua he ki a korua, a ka pikaua e korua nga hara o a korua whakapakoko; ka mohio ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.
