Ezekiel 8
1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.
Na i te ono o nga tau, i te ono o nga marama, i te rima o nga ra o te marama, e noho ana ahau i roto i toku whare, me te noho ano nga kaumatua o Hura i toku aroaro, na ka tau iho te ringa o te Ariki, o Ihowa, ki runga ki ahau i reira.
2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of electrum.
Na ka titiro atu ahau, nana, ko tetahi ahua me te mea he ahi ki te titiro atu; i tona hope a whakararo, he ahi ki te titiro atu; i tona hope ano a whakarunga, he wherikotanga ki te titiro atu, he mea rite te kara ki to te amipere.
3 And the form of a hand was put forth, and I was taken by a lock of my head; and a spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
Na ka totoro mai te ahua o te ringa, a hopukia ana ahau e ia i tetahi o nga makawe o toku matenga: katahi ahau ka hapainga atu e te wairua ki waenganui o te whenua, o te rangi, a kawea ana ahau e ia ki Hiruharama, he whakakitenga hoki na te Atua, ki te kuwaha o te keti o to roto marae e anga ana ki te raki; kei reira nei te nohoanga o te whakapakoko o te hae, e puta ai te hae.
4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
Na i reira ano te kororia o te Atua o Iharaira, he pera me te kitenga i kitea e ahau ki te mania.
5 Then said He unto me: 'Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north.' So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
Katahi ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, tena ra, anga atu ou kanohi ra te ara ki te raki. Heoi ka anga oku kanohi ra te ara ki te raki, nana, i te taha ki te raki, i te kuwaha o te aata, ko tenei whakapakoko o te hae i te tomokanga atu.
6 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from My sanctuary? but thou shalt again see yet greater abominations.'
A ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ka kite ranei koe i ta ratou e mea nei? ara i nga mea whakarihariha nui e mahia nei e te whare o Iharaira ki konei, e matara ai ahau i toku wahi tapu? otiia tera koe e kite ano i etahi atu mea whakarih ariha nunui.
7 And He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
Na ka kawea ahau e ia ki te kuwaha o te marae; a, no taku tirohanga atu, nana, ko tetahi puta i te taiepa.
8 Then said He unto me: 'Son of man, dig now in the wall'; and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, tena, keria te taiepa; a, i taku keringa i te taiepa, na ko tetahi kuwaha.
9 And He said unto me: 'Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.'
A ka mea tera ki ahau, Haere ki roto, kia kite ai koe i nga mea whakarihariha, i nga mea kino e mahia nei e ratou ki konei.
10 So I went in and saw; and behold every detestable form of creeping things and beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.
Heoi haere ana ahau ki roto, a ka kite; na, ko nga ahua katoa o nga mea ngokingoki, o nga kararehe whakarihariha, me nga whakapakoko katoa o te whare o Iharaira, he mea tuhituhi ki te taha o te whare a taka noa, taka noa.
11 And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
A i o ratou aroaro e tu ana e whitu tekau nga tangata, no nga kaumatua o te whare o Iharaira, a i waenganui o ratou e tu ana ko Iaatania tama a Hapana, he tahu whakakakara i te ringa o tenei, o tenei; a i kake whakarunga te kakara o te kapua o t e whakakakara.
12 Then said He unto me: 'Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his chambers of imagery? for they say: The LORD seeth us not, the LORD hath forsaken the land.'
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, Kua kite ranei koe, e te tama a te tangata, i ta nga kaumatua o te whare o Iharaira e mea nei i te pouri, ia tangata, ia tangata, i ona whare whakaahua? e ki ana hoki ratou, E kore a Ihowa e kite i a tatou; kua mahue te whenua i a Ihowa.
13 He said also unto me: 'Thou shalt again see yet greater abominations which they do.'
I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Tera koe e kite ano i etahi atu mea whakarihariha nunui e mahia ana e ratou.
14 Then He brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.
Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki te kuwaha o te keti o te whare o Ihowa, e anga ana whaka te raki; na ko nga wahine e noho ana i reira, e tangi ana ki a Tamutu.
15 Then said He unto me: 'Hast thou seen this, O son of man? thou shalt again see yet greater abominations than these.'
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, Ka kite ranei koe i tenei, e te tama a te tangata? Tera koe e kite ano i etahi mea whakarihariha nunui atu i enei.
16 And He brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
Na ka kawea ahau e ia ki to roto marae o te whare o Ihowa; nana, i te kuwaha o te temepara o Ihowa, i te takiwa o te whakamahau, o te aata, ko etahi tangata, ki te whakaaro iho e rua tekau ma rima, ko o ratou tuara e anga ana ki te temepara o Ih owa, ko o ratou mata ki te rawhiti; e koropiko ana ratou ki te ra whaka te rawhiti.
17 Then He said unto me: 'Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here in that they fill the land with violence, and provoke Me still more, and, lo, they put the branch to their nose?
Katahi ka mea ia ki ahau, Ka kite ranei koe i tenei, e te tama a te tangata? He mea mama noa ake ianei tenei ki te whare o Hura kia mahia e ratou nga mea whakarihariha e mahia nei e ratou ki konei? na ratou hoki i kapi ai te whenua i te tutu, a hoki mai ana ratou ki te whakapataritari i ahau: nana, kei te whakapa ano ratou i te manga ki to ratou ihu.
18 Therefore will I also deal in fury; Mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in Mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.'
Na ka mahi ano ahau i runga i te weriweri; e kore toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ano ahau e tohu; ahakoa nui to ratou reo e karanga ai ki oku taringa, e kore ahau e rongo ki a ratou.
