Ezekiel 2

1 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.'

Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, e tu ou waewae ki runga, a ka korero ahau ki a koe.

2 And spirit entered into me when He spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard Him that spoke unto me.

Na kua tae mai te wairua ki roto ki ahau i tana korerotanga ki ahau, i tana meatanga kia tu oku waewae ki runga; a ka rongo ahau i a ia e korero ana ki ahau.

3 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious nations, that have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, even unto this very day;

Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ka unga koe e ahau ki nga tama a Iharaira, ki nga iwi whakakeke, kua whakakeke nei ki ahau; ko ratou ko o ratou matua kua tutu ki ahau a taea noatia tenei ra nei ano.

4 and the children are brazen-faced and stiff-hearted, I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD.

A ko nga tamariki he whakatoi, he kaki maro; na ka unga koe e ahau ki a ratou, a me ki atu e koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa.

5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

Na ko ratou, ma ratou e rongo, ma ratou e kore e rongo, he whare whakakeke hoki ratou, ka mohio, na i roto i a ratou te poropiti e noho ana.

6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though defiers and despisers be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.

Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, kaua e wehi i a ratou, kaua e wehi i a ratou kupu, ahakoa he tataramoa, he tumatakuru i tou taha, a e noho ana koe i roto i nga kopiona; kaua e wehi i a ratou kupu, kaua hoki e pairi ina titiro mai ratou, ahakoa he whare whakakeke ratou.

7 And thou shalt speak My words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

Me korero ano e koe aku kupu ki a ratou, ma ratou e whakarongo, ma ratou ranei e kore e whakarongo: nui atu hoki to ratou whakakeke.

8 And thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee: be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house; open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.'

Ko koe ia, e te tama a te tangata, whakarongo ki taku e mea nei ki a koe; Kaua koe e whakakeke, kei rite ki taua whare whakakeke: hamama tou mangai, kainga hoki te mea ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koe.

9 And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

Na, i taku tirohanga atu, nana, ko tetahi ringa e totoro mai ana ki ahau; nana, ko tetahi pukapuka i roto i te ringa;

10 and He spread it before me, and it was written within and without; and there was written therein lamentations, and moaning, and woe.

Na wherahia ana e ia taua pukapuka ki toku aroaro, he mea tuhituhi a roto, a waho: ko te mea i tuhituhia ki reira he tangi, he uhunga, he aue.
