< Ezekiel 20 >

1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
EIA hoi kekahi, i ka hiku o ka makahiki, i ka lima o ka mahina, i ka la umi o ua mahina la, hele mai kekahi poe o na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela e ninau ia Iehova, a noho iho la imua o ko'u alo.
2 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Alaila hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
3 Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Are you come to inquire of me? As I live, said the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe i na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, e i aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Hele mai nei oukou e ninau ia'u? Ma ko'u ola ana, aole au e ninauia e oukou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
4 Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:
E hoohewa oe ia lakou, e hoohewa ia lakou, e ke keiki a ke kanaka? E hoike ia lakou i na mea I hoopailua o ko lakou poe makua.
5 And say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand to them, saying, I am the LORD your God;
E olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku penei; i ka la i koho aku ai au i ka Iseraela, a i hapai ai i kuu lima i na keiki a ka ohana a Iakoba, a i hoike ai ia'u iho ia lakou ma ka aina Aigupita, i ka wa i hapai ai au i kuu lima ia lakou, me ka i ana'e, Owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua;
6 In the day that I lifted up my hand to them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:
I ka la i hapai ai au i kuu lima ia lakou, e lawe mai ia lakou mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, i ka aina a'u i nana aku ai no lakou, e kahe ana ka waiu a me ka meli, ka mea nani o na aina a pau:
7 Then said I to them, Cast you away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Alaila olelo aku la au ia lakou, E haalele oukou kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea inainaia o kona mau maka, mai noho a hoohaumia ia oukou iho ma na kii o Aigupita: owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua.
8 But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middle of the land of Egypt.
Aka, kipi mai la lakou ia'u, aole o lakou makemake e hoolohe mai ia'u; aole lakou i haalele kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea inainaia o ko lakou mau maka, aole hoi i haalele i na kii o Aigupita: alaila olelo aku au, E ninini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou, e hooko i ko'u huhu ia lakou mawaenakonu o ka aina o Aigupita.
9 But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
Aka, ua hana au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, iwaena o ia poe i noho ai lakou: imua hoi o ko lakou mau maka i hoike ai au ia'u iho ia lakou, i ka lawe ana mai ia lakou mai loko mai o ka aina o Aigupita.
10 Why I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
A lawe mai la hoi au ia lakou mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, a alakai ia lakou iloko o ka waonahele.
11 And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.
Haawi aku la hoi au i ka'u mau kauoha ia lakou, a hoike aku la hoi au i ko'u mau kanawai ia lakou, o na mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila.
12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
A o ko'u mau Sabati kekahi ka'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou, i hoailona iwaena o'u a me lakou, i ike lakou owau no Iehova ka mea nana lakou i hoano.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Aka, kipi mai la ka ohana a Iseraela ia'u ma ka waonahele, aole lakou i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, ua hoowahawaha hoi lakou i ko'u mau kanawai, o na mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila: a ua hoohaumia nui lakou i ko'u mau Sabati. Alaila elele aku la au, E ninini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou ma ka waonahele, e hoopau ai ia lakou.
14 But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.
Aka, hana iho la au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, imua o ko lakou alo i lawe mai ai au ia lakou iwaho.
15 Yet also I lifted up my hand to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
Ua hapai no nae au i kuu lima ia lakou, ma ka waonahele, e lawe ole au ia lakou i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai, e kahe ana ka waiu a me ka meli, ka mea naui o na aina a pau;
16 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
No ka mea, ua hoowahawaha lakou i ko'u mau kanawai, aole hoi i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, aka, ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u mau Sabati; no ka mea, ua hele ko lakou naau mamuli o ko lakou mau kii.
17 Nevertheless my eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
Aka hoi, ua aloha aku ko'u maka ia lakou i ole e luku ia lakou; aole hoi au i hoopau ia lakou ma ka waonahele.
18 But I said to their children in the wilderness, Walk you not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
Aka, olelo aku la au i ka lakou mau keiki ma ka waonahele, Mai hele oukou ma na oihana a ko oukou mau makuakane, aole hoi e malama i ko lakou mau kanawai, aole hoi e hoohaumia ia oukou iho me ko lakou mau akuakii.
19 I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;
Owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua; e hele hoi oukou ma ka'u mau kauoha, a e malama i ko'u mau kanawai, a e hana oukou ma ia mau mea:
20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.
A e hoauo hoi i ko'u mau Sabati; a e lilo ia i hoailona iwaena o'u a me oukou, i ike oukou owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua.
21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
Kipi mai la nae na keiki ia'u; aole lakou i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, aole hoi lakou i malama i ko'u mau kanawai e hana malaila, o ua mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila: ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u mau Sabati; alaila olelo iho la au, e niuini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou, e hooko ai i ko'u huhu ia lakou ma ka waonahele.
22 Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.
Aka, hoihoi mai au i kuu lima, a hana hoi au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, imua o ko lakou alo i lawe mai ai au ia lakou.
23 I lifted up my hand to them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;
Hapai ae la hoi au i kuu lima ia lakou ma ka waonahele, e hooauhee liilii ia lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e hoopuehu ia lakou ma na aina.
24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
No ka mea, aole lakou i hana ma ko'u mau kanawai, aka, ua hoowahawaha i ka'u mau kauoha, a ua hoohaumia i ko'u mau Sabati, a o ko lakou mau maka, aia no mamuli o na kii o ko lakou mau makua.
25 Why I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
Nolaila hoi, haawi au no lakou i na kauoha pono ole, a me na kanawai i ola ole ai lakou ilaila;
26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.
A ua hoohaumia au ia lakou iloko o ko lakou mau haawina; i ko lakou hoohele ana iwaena o ke ahi i na mea a pau i wehe ae i ka opu, i hooneoneo au ia lakou, i mea e ike ai lakou owau no Iehova.
27 Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
Nolaila e olelo aku, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, i ka ohana a Iseraela, a e i aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Maloko no hoi o keia, i hoino wale mai ai ko oukou mau makua ia'u, i ka lakou hana hewa ana mai ia'u:
28 For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up my hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet smell, and poured out there their drink offerings.
I ko'u lawe ana mai ia lakou i ka aina, nona i hapai ai au i kuu lima e haawi aku au ia no lakou, a ike lakou i na puu kiekie a pau, a me na laau paapu a pau, alaila kaumaha ae la lakou i ka lakou mau mohai malaila; a haawi lakou ilaila i ka hoonaukiuki ana o ka lakou alana: ilaila hoi i hana aku ai lakou i ko lakou mea ala, a i ninini aku ai i ka lakou mau mohai inu.
29 Then I said to them, What is the high place where you go? And the name whereof is called Bamah to this day.
Alaila olelo aku la au ia lakou, Heaha ka wahi kiekie e hele aku ai oukou? A ua kapaia kona inoa o Bama a hiki i keia la.
30 Why say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD; Are you polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit you prostitution after their abominations?
Nolaila e olelo aku i ka ohana a Iseraela, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Ua haumia anei oukou mamuli o ka aoao o ko oukou mau makua? A ua moe kolohe anei oukou mamuli o ko lakou mau mea inainaia?
31 For when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, you pollute yourselves with all your idols, even to this day: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.
No ka mea, i ko oukou kaumaha ana i ka oukou mau mohai, i ko oukou hoohele ana i ka oukou mau keiki iwaena o ke ahi, ua hoohaumia oukou ia oukou iho me ko oukou mau akuakii a pau, a hiki i keia la; a e uinauia mai anei au e oukou, e ka ohana a Iseraela? Na ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aole au e ninauia mai e oukou.
32 And that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, that you say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
A o ka mea i kupu iloko o ko oukou naau, aole loa ia, i ka oukou olelo ana, E like kakou me na lahuikanaka, e like me na ohana o na aina i ka hoomana i ka laau a me ka pohaku.
33 As I live, says the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
Ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, He oiaio, me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kikoo aku, a me ka ukiuki i nininiia aku, e alii ai au maluna o oukou:
34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
A e lawe mai au ia oukou mai waena mai o kanaka, a e hoakoakoa au ia oukou mai na aina mai i hooauheeia'i oukou, me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kikoo, a me ka ukiuki i niniuiia'ku.
35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
A e lawe au ia oukou iloko o ka waouahele o kanaka, a malaila au e hakaka ai me oukou, he maka no he maka.
36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, says the Lord GOD.
Me au hoi i hakaka ai me ko oukou mau makua ma ka waonahele o ka aina Aigupita, pela e hakaka ai au me oukou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
A e hoohele ae au ia oukou malalo ae o ko kookoo, a e lawe au ia oukou iloko o ka mea paa o ka berita:
38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the LORD.
A e holoi aku wau mai waena aku o oukou i na kipi, a me ka poe i hana hewa mai ia'u; e lawe mai au ia lakou mai ka aina mai i noho iki ai lakou, aole nae lakou e komo i ka aina o ka Iseraela; a e ike i oukou owau no Iehova.
39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord GOD; Go you, serve you every one his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me: but pollute you my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
A oukou hoi, e ka ohana a Iseraela, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E hele oukou, a e malama kela mea keia mea i kona mau kii, a mahope aku hoi, ina aole oukou e hoolohe mai ia'u: aka, mai hoohaumia hou i ko'u inoa, me ka oukou mau haawina a me ko oukou mau akuakii.
40 For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, says the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
No ka mea, ma ko'u mauna hoano, ma ka mauna kiekie o ka Iseraela, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, malaila e malama mai ai ia'u ka ohana a pau a Iseraela, o ka poe a pau loa ma ka aina; malaila e maliu ai au ia lakou, malaila e kauoha ai au i ka oukou mau mohai, a me na hua mua o ka oukou mau alana, me ko oukou mau mea hoano a pau.
41 I will accept you with your sweet smell, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
E maliu au ia oukou me ko oukou mea ala ono, aia lawe mai au ia oukou mai ka poe kanaka mai, a e hoakoakoa ia oukou mai loko mai o na aina i hooauhee liilii ia ai oukou; a e hoanoia mai au ma o oukou la i na maka o na lahuikanaka.
42 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.
A e ike oukou owau no Iehova, aia lawe mai au ia oukou iloko o ka aina o ka Iseraela, i ka aina nona i hapai ai au i kuu lima e haawi aku ia i ko oukou poe makua.
43 And there shall you remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein you have been defiled; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.
A malaila e hoomanao ai oukou i ko oukou mau aoao, a me ka oukou mau hana a pau, na mea i haumia ai oukou; a e hoowahawaha oukou ia oukou iho i ko oukou mau maka, no na mea ino a pau a oukou i hana aku ai.
44 And you shall know that I am the LORD when I have worked with you for my name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O you house of Israel, says the Lord GOD.
A e ike no oukou owau no Iehova, aia hana au me oukou no ko'u inoa, aole mamuli o ko oukou mau aoao hewa, aole hoi e like me ka oukou hana hewa ana, e ka ohana a Iseraela, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
45 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
46 Son of man, set your face toward the south, and drop your word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hookupono oe i kou wahi maka i ke kukuluhema, a e hoolei aku i kau olelo ma ka aoao hema e wanana ku e oe i ka ululaau o ka aina hema:
47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
A e olelo aku i ka ululaau o ke kukuluhema, E hoolohe i ka olelo a Iehova, no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoi, e kukuni au i ke ahi iloko ou, a e hoopau ae ia i na laau maka a pau iloko ou, a me na laau maloo a pau; a o ka lapalapa e lapalapa ana aole loa ia e kinaiia, a e wela ilaila na wahi maka a pau mai ke kukuluhema a ke kukuluakau.
48 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
A e ike no ka io a pau, na'u na Iehova ia i kukuni, aole no ia e kinaiia.
49 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Does he not speak parables?
I aku la hoi au, Auwe, e Iehova ka Haku ke olelo nei lakou no'u, Aole anei ia e olelo i na olelo nane?
