< Ezekiel 8 >

1 And it happened that, in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, and the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there.
EIA hoi keia i ke ono o ka makahiki, i ka malama aono, i ka la alima o ka malama, e noho ana au iloko o kuu hale, a noho no na lunakahiko o ka Iuda imua o'u, haule mai ka lima o Iehova ka Haku malaila, maluna o'u.
2 And I saw, and behold, there was an image with the appearance of fire. From the appearance of his waist, and downward, there was fire. And from his waist, and upward, there was the appearance of splendor, like the sight of amber.
Alaila nana aku au, aia hoi he mea ua like ke ano me ke ahi i ka nana aku; mai ka ikea ana o kona puhaka ilalo, he ahi; a mai kona puhaka iluna, me he olinolino la ke nana aku, a me ke keleawe hoohualiia.
3 And as the image of a hand went out, it took hold of me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven. And he brought me into Jerusalem, within a vision of God, next to the inner gate that looked toward the north, where there was stationed an idol of rivalry, so as to provoke an envious emulation.
Kikoo mai la oia i ka mea like me ka lima, a lalau mai ia'u ma kekahi wili lauoho o kuu poo, a kaikai ae ka uhane ia'u iluna mawaena o ka honua a me ka lani, a alakai ae la ia'u i Ierusalema ma na hihio o ke Akua, i ka pani o ka pukapa iloko e nana ana i ke kukulu akau, kahi o ke kii e lili ai ka mea hoolili.
4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, in accord with the vision that I had seen in the plain.
Aia hoi, malaila ka nani o ke Akua o Iseraela, e like me ka hihio a'u i ike ai ma ka papu.
5 And he said to me: “Son of man, lift up your eyes to the way of the north.” And I lifted up my eyes to the way of the north. And behold, from the north of the gate of the altar was the idol of rivalry, at the same entrance.
Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, Ealawa ae i kou mau maka ma ke kukulu akau. Alawa ae la hoi au i kau mau maka i ke kukulu akau, aia hoi ma ke kukulu akau ma ka puka o ke kuahu keia kii e lili ai, maloko o kahi e komo ai.
6 And he said to me: “Son of man, you see what these ones are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here. Do you not think, then, that I should withdraw far away from my own sanctuary? But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations.”
A olelo hou mai la ia, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ke ike nei anei oe i ka mea a lakou e hana nei? na mea e inainaia a ka ohana a Iseraela i hana'i ma keia wahi, i hele loihi aku ai au mai ko'u keenakapu aku? Aka, e haliu hou ae oe, a e ike oe i na mea e inainaia he nui aku.
7 And he led me in by the door of the atrium. And I saw, and behold, there was an opening in the wall.
A lawe mai oia ia'u ma ka puka o ka pahale, a nana aku au, aia hoi he puka maloko o ka pa.
8 And he said to me: “Son of man, dig in the wall.” And when I had dug in the wall, there appeared one door.
Olelo mai la hoi oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e pao ae oe maloko o ka pa. A pao ae la au iloko o ka pa, aia hoi he ipuka.
9 And he said to me: “Enter and see the most wicked abominations which they are committing here.”
I mai la hoi ia ia'u, E komo ae oe iloko, a e nana oe i na mea hewa e inainaia a lakou e hana nei maanei.
10 And entering, I saw, and behold, every kind of image of reptiles and animals, the abominations, and all of the idols of the house of Israel were depicted on the wall all around, throughout the entire place.
Komo ae la hoi au a ike, aia hoi o ke ano o na mea kolo a pau me na holoholona i hoopailuaia, a me na akuakii o ka ohana a Iseraela i kakauia ma ka pa a puni.
11 And there were seventy men out of the elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, standing in their midst, and they stood before the pictures. And each one had a censer in his hand. And a cloud of smoke rose up from the incense.
Ku mai la imua o lakou na kanaka he kanahiku o na lunakahiko o ka ohana a Iseraela, a iwaenakonu o lakou e ku ana o Iaazania, ke keiki a Sapana, e paa ana kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona kapuahi kuni mea ala i kona lima. Punohu nui ae la ka uahi mea ala paapu.
12 And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each one while hidden in his chamber. For they say: ‘The Lord does not see us. The Lord has forsaken the earth.’”
Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua ike anei oe i ka mea a na lunakahiko o ka ohana a Iseraela e hana nei iloko o ka pouli, kela kanaka keia kanaka iloko o kona keena e nana ai? No ka mea, ke olelo nei lakou, Aole ike mai o Iehova; ua haalele Iehova i ka honua.
13 And he said to me: “If you turn again, you will see even greater abominations, which these ones are committing.”
Olelo mai la oia ia'u, E haliu hou ae oe, a e ike oe i na mea e inainaia he nui aku a lakou e hana nei.
14 And he led me in through the door of the gate of the Lord’s house, which looked toward the north. And behold, women were sitting there, mourning for Adonis.
Alaila lawe mai oia ia'u i ke pani o ka ipuka pa o ka hale o Iehova, ka mea ma ka aoao kukulu akau; aia hoi, e noho ana na wahine e uwe ana no Tamuza.
15 And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations than these.”
Ninau mai la oia ia'u, Ua ike anei oe i keia, e ke keiki a ke kanaka? E haliu hou ae oe a e ike oe i na mea e inainaia e oi aku mamua o keia.
16 And he led me into the inner atrium of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the vestibule and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east. And they were adoring toward the rising of the Sun.
Lawe ae la oia ia'u iloko o ka pahale loko o ka hale o Iehova, aia hoi, ma ka puka o ka luakini o Iehova mawaena o ka lanai a me ke kuahu, he iwakaluakumamalima paha o na kanaka, ua huli ko lakou mau kua i ka luakini o Iehova, a o ko lakou mau alo i ka hikina; a hoomana aku la lakou i ka la ma ka hikina.
17 And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. Can this be so trivial to the house of Judah, when they commit these abominations, just as they have committed here, that, having filled the earth with iniquity, they now turn to provoke me? And behold, they are applying a branch to their nose.
Alaila ninau mai la ia ia'u, Ua ike anei oe i keia, e ke keiki a ke kanaka? He mea mama anei i ka ohana a Iuda ka lakou hana ana i na mea e inainaia a lakou e hana nei maanei? no ka mea, ua hoopiha lakou i ka aina i ka hewa, a ua huli mai lakou e hoonaukiuki mai ia'u; aia hoi, ua kau lakou i ka lala ma ko lakou ihu.
18 Therefore, I also will act toward them in my fury. My eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. And when they will have cried out to my ears with a loud voice, I will not heed them.”
Nolaila owau no kekahi e hana aku me ka ukiuki; aole e aloha kuu maka, aole hoi au e menemene aku; a ina e kahea lakou iloko o ko'u mau pepeiao me ka leo nui, aole au o hoolohe aku ia lakou.
