Ezekiel 5
1 “And as for you, son of man, obtain for yourself a sharp knife for shaving hair, and you shall take it and draw it across your head and across your beard. And you shall obtain for yourself a balance for weighing, and you shall divide the hair.
Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, tikina he hoari koi mau, tikina hei heu mau, ko te heu a te kaiheu, ka whakahaere ai ki runga ki tou mahunga, ki tou pahau ano: katahi ka tiki i etahi pauna hei pauna mau, ka wehe ai i nga makawe.
2 A third part you shall burn with fire in the midst of the city, according to the completion of the days of the siege. And you shall take a third part, and you shall cut it with the knife all around. Yet truly, the other third, you shall scatter to the wind, for I will unsheathe the sword after them.
Ko tetahi whakatoru o nga wahi me tahu e koe ki te ahi ki waenganui o te pa, ina rite nga ra o te whakapaenga: na ka mau ki tetahi whakatoru, ka hahau ki te hoari i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha: a ko tetahi whakatoru me titari atu ki te hau: ka maunu hoki i ahau te hoari hei whai i a ratou.
3 And you shall take from there a small number. And you shall bind them in the end of your cloak.
Me tango ano e koe etahi o aua makawe, kia torutoru, ka takai ki roto ki nga pito o tou.
4 And again, you shall take from them, and you shall throw them into the midst of the fire, and you shall burn them with fire. And from it, there shall go forth a fire to the entire house of Israel.”
Me tango etahi o aua makawe, ka maka ki waenganui o te ahi, ka tahu ai ki te ahi; ka puta mai i reira he ahi ki te whare katoa o Iharaira.
5 Thus says the Lord God: “This is Jerusalem. I have placed her in the midst of the Gentiles and of the lands all around her.
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko Hiruharama tenei; he mea whakatu ia naku ki waenga o nga iwi, a ko nga whenua e karapoi ana i a ia.
6 And she has despised my judgments, so as to be more impious than the Gentiles, and my precepts, more so than the lands that are all around her. For they have cast aside my judgments, and they have not walked in my precepts.”
A kua whakakeke ia ki aku whakaritenga, nui atu hoki tana mahi kino i ta nga iwi, ki aku tikanga hoki, nui atu i ta nga whenua i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha: kua paopao nei hoki ratou ki aku whakaritenga, a kihai i waiho e ratou aku tikanga he i ara mo ratou.
7 For this reason, thus says the Lord God: “Since you have surpassed the Gentiles who are all around you, and have not walked in my precepts, and have not accomplished my judgments, and have not even acted in accord with the judgments of the Gentiles who are all around you:
No reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, I te mea kua nui ake to koutou tutu i to nga iwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha, kihai hoki koutou i haere i runga i aku tikanga, kihai i mahi i aku whakaritenga, kihai ano i rite ta koutou ma hi ki nga ritenga a nga iwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha;
8 therefore, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, and I myself will accomplish judgments in your midst, in the sight of the Gentiles.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana ko ahau, ko ahau rawa nei, hei hoariri mou; a ka whakaritea e ahau he whakaritenga i waenganui ou i te tirohanga a nga iwi.
9 And I will do in you what I have not done before, and the likes of which I will not do again, because of all your abominations.
Ka mahia ano e ahau i roto i a koe he mea kihai i mahia e ahau i mua, e kore he pena e mahia e ahau a muri; mo au mea whakarihariha katoa hoki.
10 Therefore, the fathers shall consume the sons in your midst, and the sons shall consume their fathers. And I will execute judgments in you, and I will winnow your entire remnant in every wind.
A ka kai nga matua i nga tamariki i roto i a koe, ka kai ano nga tamariki i o ratou matua; ka mahia ano e ahau he whakaritenga i roto i a koe, ka titaria atu ano e ahau ou morehu katoa ki nga hau katoa.
11 Therefore, as I myself live says the Lord God, because you have violated my sanctuary with all your offenses and with all your abominations, I also will break into pieces, and my eye will not be lenient, and I will not take pity.
Mo reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, kua whakapokea nei e koe toku wahi tapu ki au mea whakarihariha katoa, ki au mea anuanu katoa, mo reira ka tino whakaititia ano koe e ahau; e kore toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ano ahau e to hu.
12 One third part of you will die by pestilence or be consumed by famine in your midst. And one third part of you will fall by the sword all around you. Yet truly, one third part of you I will scatter to every wind, and I will unsheathe the sword after them.
Ka mate tetahi whakatoru ou i te mate uruta, ka poto atu hoki i te hemokai i roto i a koe; a ka hinga tetahi whakatoru ou i te hoari i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha: na, ko tetahi whakatoru, ka titaria e ahau ki nga hau katoa, ka maunu ano i aha u te hoari hei whai i a ratou.
13 And I will fulfill my fury, and I will cause my indignation to rest upon them, and I will be consoled. And they shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken in my zeal, when I will have fulfilled my indignation in them.
Na ka whakapaua atu toku riri, ka meinga ano e ahau kia tutuki toku weriweri ki runga ki a ratou, ka whai whakamarietanga ano ahau; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau te korero nei i runga i toku hae, ina whakapaua e ahau toku weriweri ki runga ki a ratou.
14 And I will make you desolate, and a disgrace among the Gentiles, who are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by.
Ka meinga ano koe e ahau hei ururua, hei ingoa kino i roto i nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, i te tirohanga a nga tangata katoa e haere atu ana.
15 And you shall be a disgrace and a blasphemy, an example and an astonishment, among the Gentiles, who are all around you, when I will have executed judgments in you, in fury and in indignation and with rebukes of wrath.
Heoi ka waiho a kona hei ingoa kino, hei tawainga, hei mea e ako ai, e miharo ai nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, ina mahia e ahau nga whakaritenga ki a koe i runga i te riri, i te weriweri, i nga whakatupehupehu, aritarita rawa: naku, n a Ihowa te kupu,
16 I, the Lord, have spoken. At that time, I will send among them the most grievous arrows of famine, which shall bring death, and which I will send so that I may destroy you. And I will gather a famine over you, and I will crush the staff of bread among you.
Ina tukua e ahau ki a ratou nga pere kino o te hemokai, hei whakamoti, ko aku e tuku atu ai hei whakamoti i a koutou; ka whakanuia ano e ahau to koutou hemokai, whati iho to koutou tokotoko, ara te taro.
17 And I will send among you famine and very harmful beasts, even unto utter ruin. And pestilence and blood shall pass through you. And I will bring the sword over you. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
Ka tukua atu ano e ahau te hemokai ki a koutou, me nga kirehe kikino, a ka poto i a ratou au tamariki; ka tika atu ano te mate uruta me te whakaheke toto i waenganui i a koe; ka kawea atu ano e ahau te hoari ki a koe. Naku na Ihowa te kupu.
