< Ezekiel 28 >

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
2 'Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said: I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the heart of the seas; yet thou art man, and not God, though thou didst set thy heart as the heart of God —
E te tama a te tangata, mea atu ki te rangatira o Taira: Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Kua whakakake na tou ngakau, kua mea, He atua ahau, e noho ana i te nohoanga o te Atua, i waenga moana, ahakoa ki tau ko tou ngakau e rite ana ki to te Atua ngakau:
3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! there is no secret that they can hide from thee!
Nana, nui atu ou whakaaro i o Raniera; kahore he mea ngaro e taea te huna i a koe.
4 By thy wisdom and by thy discernment thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;
He nui no ou whakaaro, he matauranga nou i mahia ai e koe he taonga mou, i mahia ai e koe he koura, he hiriwa ki roto ki ou whare taonga.
5 In thy great wisdom by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches —
He nui noa atu no ou whakaaro, he hokohoko nau, i whakaraneatia ai e koe ou rawa, a whakakake ana tou ngakau i ou rawa.
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God;
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Kua whai ake na tou ngakau ki to te Atua ngakau;
7 Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
Mo reira tenei ahau te kawe nei i nga tautangata ki a koe, te hunga nanakia rawa o nga iwi; a ka unuhia e ratou a ratou hoari hei whawhai ki te ataahua o ou whakaaro nui, ka whakapokea ano e ratou tou kanapatanga.
8 They shall bring thee down to the pit; and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain, in the heart of the seas.
Ka whakahokia iho koe e ratou ki te poka, a, ko te mate mou, ko nga mate o te hunga e patua ana i waenga moana.
9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee: I am God? But thou art man, and not God, in the hand of them that defile thee.
E mea ake ano ranei koe ki te aroaro o tou kaipatu, Ko te Atua ahau? otiia he tangata ano koe, ehara koe i te Atua i roto i te ringa o tou kaipatu.
10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken, saith the Lord GOD.'
Ko tou matenga, ko nga matenga o te hunga kokotikore i te ringa o nga tautangata: naku hoki te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
12 'Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say unto him: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou seal most accurate, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty,
E te tama a te tangata, kia ara tau tangi mo te kingi o Taira, mea atu hoki ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Kei te tino o te pai tau hiri, ki tonu koe i nga whakaaro nunui, pai rerehua te ataahua.
13 thou wast in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the carnelian, the topaz, and the emerald, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the smaragd, and gold; the workmanship of thy settings and of thy sockets was in thee, in the day that thou wast created they were prepared.
I Erene koe, i te kari a te Atua e noho ana; ko tou hipoki ko nga kohatu utu nui katoa, ko te harariu, ko te topaha, ko te taimana, ko te perira, ko te onika, ko te hahapa, ko te hapaira, ko te emerara, ko te kapakara, ko te koura: i whakapaia a no te mahi o au timipera, o au putorino i roto i a koe i te ra i hanga ai koe.
14 Thou wast the far-covering cherub; and I set thee, so that thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of stones of fire.
Ko koe te kerupa hipoki, te mea i whakawahia; naku ano koe i mea hei pena, i noho ai koe i runga i te maunga tapu o te Atua; i haereere ano koe i roto i nga kohatu ahi.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.
Tapatahi tonu koe i ou ara, i te ra ra ano i hanga ai koe, a taea noatia te kitenga o te he i roto i a koe.
16 By the multitude of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned; therefore have I cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
He nui no au hokohokonga i ki ai a roto i a koe i te tutu, a hara iho koe; mo reira ka maka atu koe, te mea poke, e ahau i te maunga o te Atua: ka ngaro ano koe, e te kerupa hipoki, i roto i nga kohatu ahi.
17 Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness; I have cast thee to the ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may gaze upon thee.
Kua whakakake tou ngakau ki tou ataahua, na tou kanapatanga i he ai ou whakaaro nui: kua panga koe e ahau ki te whenua, kua tukua koe e ahau ki te aroaro o nga kingi, hei matakitakinga ma ratou.
18 By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee, it hath devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Kua whakapokea e koe ou wahi tapu ki te maha o ou kino, ki te he i a koe i hokohoko ra; mo reira i whakaputaina mai ai e ahau he ahi i roto i a koe, hei kai i a koe, a kua meinga ano koe e ahau hei pungarehu ki runga ki te whenua i te tirohanga a te hunga katoa e kite ana i a koe.
19 All they that know thee among the peoples shall be appalled at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.'
Ko te hunga katoa e mohio ana ki a koe i roto i nga iwi ka miharo ki a koe: ka ai koe hei whakawehi, kore tonu ake koe, ake ake.
20 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
21 'Son of man, set thy face toward Zidon, and prophesy against it,
E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki Hairona, poropititia hoki te he mo reira,
22 and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
Mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e Hairona; ka whai kororia ano hoki ahau i roto i a koe: a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina mahia e ahau he whakawa i roto i a ia, ina whakatapua ahau i roto i a ia.
23 For I will send into her pestilence and blood in her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ka unga atu hoki e ahau te mate uruta ki a ia, me te toto ki ona ara; ka hinga hoki te hunga i werohia i waenga ona, mea rawa ki te hoari i runga i a ia a tawhio noa; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor a piercing thorn of any that are round about them, that did have them in disdain; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Kahore hoki he tataramoa ngau a muri ake nei ki te whare o Iharaira, kahore he tumatakuru whakamamae a te hunga katoa i tetahi taha o ratou, i tetahi taha, a te hunga ra i whakahawea ki a ratou; a ka mohio ratou ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.
25 Thus saith the Lord GOD: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob.
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka oti te whare o Iharaira te kohikohi e ahau i roto i nga iwi i whakamararatia atu ai ratou, a ka oti ahau te whakatapu i runga i a ratou i te tirohanga a nga iwi, ko reira ratou noho ai ki to ratou oneone i hoatu e ahau ki taku pononga, ki a Hakopa.
26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell safely; when I have executed judgments upon all those that have them in disdain round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.'
Ka noho ano ratou ki reira, te ai he wehi; ae ra, ka hanga whare ano ratou, ka whakato mara waina, ka ata noho ano hoki, ina mahia e ahau he whakawa ki te hunga katoa i whakahawea ki a ratou i tetahi taha o ratou, i tetahi taha; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ko to ratou Atua.
