Ezekiel 24
1 And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, 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, write thee the name of this day, on which the king of Babylon hath set himself against Jerusalem today.
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 thou shalt speak by a figure a parable to the provoking house, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Set on a pot, set it on, I say, and put water into 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 Heap together into if the pieces thereof, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, choice pieces and full of bones.
Kohikohia ano ona wahi ki roto, nga wahi pai katoa, te huha, te peke; whakakiia ki nga wheua pai rawa.
5 Take the fattest of the flock, and lay together piles of bones under it: the seething thereof is boiling hot, and the bones thereof are thoroughly sodden in the midst of 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 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust is not gone out of it: cast it out piece by piece, there hath no lot fallen upon 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 the midst of her, she hath shed it upon the smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, 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 And that I might bring my indignation upon her, and take my vengeance: I have shed her blood upon the smooth rock, that it should 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 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, of which I will make a great bonfire.
Na reira tenei kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Aue, te mate mo te pa toto! maku ano e whakanui tona puranga wahie.
10 Heap together the bones, which I will burn with Are: the flesh shall be consumed, and the whole composition shall be sodden, and the bones shall be consumed.
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 Then set it empty upon burning coals, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may be melted: and let the filth of it be melted in the midst thereof, and let the rust of it be consumed.
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 Great pains have been taken, and the great rust thereof is not gone out, not even by fire.
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 Thy uncleanness is execrable: because I desired to cleanse thee, and thou art not cleansed from thy filthiness: neither shalt thou be cleansed, before I cause my indignation to rest in thee.
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 spoken: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not pass by, nor spare, nor be pacified: I will judge thee according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, saith 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, behold I take from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke: and thou shalt not lament, nor weep: neither shall thy tears run down.
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 Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy face, nor eat the meat of mourners.
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 I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening: and I did in the morning as he had commanded me.
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: Why dost thou not tell us what these things mean that thou doest?
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 And 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 Speak to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will profane my sanctuary, the glory of your realm, and the thing that your eyes desire, and for which your soul feareth: your sons, and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by 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 shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your faces, nor shall you eat the meat of mourners.
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 You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet: you shall not lament nor weep, but you shall pine away for your iniquities, and every one shall sigh with his brother.
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 Ezechiel shall be unto you for a sign of things to come: according to all that he hath done, so shall you do, when this shall come to pass: and you shall know that I am the Lord God.
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 thou, O son of man, behold in the day wherein I will take away from them their strength, and the joy of their glory, and the desire of their eyes, upon which their souls rest, their sons and their 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 when he that escapeth shall come to thee, to tell thee:
I taua ra ka haere mai te mea i mawhiti ki a koe kia rongo ai ou taringa?
27 In that day, I say, shall thy mouth be opened to him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be unto them for a sign of things to come, and you shall know 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
