Ezekiel 11
1 And the Spirit lifted me up, and he brought me to the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looks toward the rising of the sun. And behold, at the entrance to the gate were twenty-five men. And I saw, in their midst, Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
I hapainga ake ano ahau e te wairua, a kawea ana e ia ki te keti ki te rawhiti o te whare o Ihowa, ki tera e anga ra ki te rawhiti. Na i te kuwaha o te keti e rua tekau ma rima nga tangata; a i kite ahau i roto i a ratou i a Iaatania tama a Aturu raua ko Peratia tama a Penaia, he rangatira no te iwi.
2 And he said to me: “Son of man, these are men who devise iniquity. And they offer a wicked counsel in this city,
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ko nga tangata enei e whakaaro ana i te kino, e whakatakoto ana i te tikanga he i roto i tenei pa:
3 saying: ‘Was it so long ago that houses were being built? This city is a cooking pot, and we are the meat.’
E ki ana, kahore ano i tata te wa e hanga whare ai: ko tenei pa te kohua, ko tatou te kikokiko.
4 Therefore, prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.”
Mo reira poropititia te he mo ratou; poropititia, e te tama a te tangata.
5 And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and he said to me: “Speak: Thus says the Lord: So have you spoken, O house of Israel. And I know the thoughts of your heart.
Na ka tau te wairua o Ihowa ki ahau, a ka mea ki ahau, Ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko ta koutou korero tenei, e te whare o Iharaira: na, ko na mea e puta ake ana i o koutou wairua, mohio tonu ahau.
6 You have killed very many in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.
Kua whakatokomahatia e koutou a koutou tupapaku ki tenei pa, kua whakakiia ano e koutou ona huarahi ki te tupapaku.
7 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have placed in its midst, these are the meat, and this city is the cooking pot. And I will draw you out of its midst.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko a koutou tupapaku kua hinga nei i a koutou ki waenganui o tenei pa, ko ratou te kikokiko, ko tenei pa te kohua: ko koutou ia ka whakaputaina atu i waenganui o konei.
8 You have dread the sword, and so I will lead the sword over you, says the Lord God.
I wehi koutou i te hoari; ka kawea mai ano e ahau te hoari ki a koutou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
9 And I will cast you out of its midst, and I will give you over to the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments among you.
Ka whakaputaina atu ano koutou e ahau i waenganui o konei, ka hoatu ki te ringa o te tangata ke, ka mahia ano e ahau he whakawa i waenganui i a koutou.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you within the borders of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
Ka hinga koutou i te hoari; ka whakawakia koutou e ahau ki te rohe o Iharaira, a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa, ahau.
11 This city will not be a cooking pot for you, and you will not be like meat in its midst. I will judge you within the borders of Israel.
E kore tenei pa e waiho hei kohua mo koutou, e kore ano hoki koutou e waiho hei kikokiko mo roto; ka whakawakia koutou e ahau ki te rohe o Iharaira;
12 And you shall know that I am the Lord. For you have not walked in my precepts, and you have not accomplished my judgments. Instead, you have acted in accord with the judgments of the Gentiles, who are all around you.”
A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau; kihai hoki koutou i haere i runga i aku tikanga, a kihai i mahia e koutou aku whakaritenga, engari i rite tonu a koutou mahi ki nga ritenga a nga iwi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha o koutou.
13 And it happened that, when I prophesied, Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, died. And I fell upon my face, and I cried out with a loud voice, and I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Will you cause the consummation of the remnant of Israel?”
Na i ahau e poropiti ana, ka mate a Peratia tama a Penaia. Katahi ahau ka tapapa ki raro, he nui toku reo ki te karanga, i mea ahau, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa! ka poto rawa ranei i a koe nga morehu o Iharaira?
14 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea ia,
15 “Son of man, your brothers, the men among your close relatives, your brothers and the entire house of Israel, are all among those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: ‘Withdraw far from the Lord; the earth has been given to us as a possession.’
E te tama a te tangata, ko ou tuakana, ko ou teina, ko ou whanaunga, ko te whare katoa ano o Iharaira, rupeke, rupeke, ko ratou enei, kua ki mai nei nga tangata o Hiruharama ki a ratou, kia matara atu i a Ihowa; kua homai tenei whenua ki a matou hei kainga tupu:
16 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since I have caused them to be far away, among the Gentiles, and since I have dispersed them among the lands, I will be a little sanctuary for them within the lands to which they have gone.
Mo reira me ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ahakoa i maka atu ratou e ahau ki tawhiti, ki roto ki nga iwi, ahakoa i whakamararatia ratou e ahau ki nga whenua, ka ai ano ia ahau hei wahi tapu mo ratou i nga whenua e tae ai ratou mo te wa nohinohi nei.
17 Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: I will gather you from among the peoples, and I will unite you, from the lands into which you were dispersed, and I will give the soil of Israel to you.
Mo reira me ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka kohikohia koutou e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ka huihuia ano i nga whenua i whakamararatia ai koutou, ka hoatu ano e ahau te oneone o Iharaira ki a koutou.
18 And they shall go to that place, and they shall remove all the offenses and all its abominations from that place.
Ka tae ano ratou ki reira, ka whakakahoretia ano e ratou nga mea whakarihariha katoa o reira, me nga mea anuanu o reira.
19 And I will give them one heart. And I will distribute a new spirit to their interior. And I will take away the heart of stone from their body. And I will give them a heart of flesh.
Ka hoatu ano e ahau he ngakau kotahi ki a ratou, ka hoatu ano he wairua hou ki a koutou; ka tangohia ano e ahau te ngakau kohatu i o ratou kikokiko, a ka hoatu he ngakau kikokiko ki a ratou:
20 So may they may walk in my precepts, and observe my judgments, and accomplish them. And so may they be my people, and I will be their God.
Kia haere ai ratou i runga i aku tikanga, kia puritia ai aku whakaritenga, mahia iho: a waiho tonu iho ratou hei iwi maku, ko ahau ano hei Atua mo ratou.
21 But as for those whose heart walks after their offenses and abominations, I will set their own way upon their head, says the Lord God.”
Ko te hunga ia kei te whai nei o ratou ngakau i te ngakau o a ratou mea whakarihariha, o a ratou mea anuanu, ka utua e ahau o ratou ara ki runga ki o ratou mahunga, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
22 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels with them. And the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
Katahi ka ara nga parirau o nga kerupima, a ko nga wira i to ratou taha; i runga ano hoki te kororia o te Atua o Iharaira i a ratou, i te taha ki runga.
23 And the glory of the Lord ascended from the midst of the city and stood above the mountain, which is to the east of the city.
Na ka kake te kororia o Ihowa i roto i te pa, tu rawa ki runga ki te maunga ki te taha ki te rawhiti o te pa.
24 And the Spirit lifted me up, and he brought me into Chaldea, to those of the transmigration, in a vision, in the Spirit of God. And the vision that I had seen was raised up, away from me.
Muri iho ka hapainga ahau e te wairua, he mea i roto i te whakakitenga, na te wairua o te Atua, ki Karari, ki nga whakarau. Heoi ka kake atu i ahau te kitenga i kitea e ahau.
25 And I spoke, to those of the transmigration, all the words of the Lord that he had revealed to me.
Na korerotia ana e ahau ki nga whakarau nga mea katoa i whakakitea ki ahau e Ihowa.
