Ezekiel 22
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
2 Now, you son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? yes, you shall show her all her abominations.
E whakawa ranei koe, e te tama a te tangata, e whakawa ranei koe i te pa whakaheke toto? na, whakakitea ano ana mea whakarihariha katoa ki a ia.
3 Then say you, Thus says the Lord GOD, The city sheds blood in the middle of it, that her time may come, and makes idols against herself to defile herself.
A mea atu koe, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: He pa e whakaheke ana i te toto i waenganui ona, he mea e tae mai ai te wa mona, e hanga whakapakoko ana hei he mona, hei whakapoke i a ia!
4 You are become guilty in your blood that you have shed; and have defiled yourself in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and are come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
Kua he koe i ou toto i whakahekea e koe, kua poke i au whakapakoko i hanga e koe; a kua meinga e koe ou ra kia tata, kua tae ano koe ki ou tau: na reira koe i meinga ai e ahau hei tawainga ma nga tauiwi, hei taunutanga ma nga whenua katoa.
5 Those that be near, and those that be far from you, shall mock you, which are infamous and much vexed.
Ko te hunga e tata ana, ko te hunga hoki e matara atu ana i a koe, ka taunu ki a koe, e te tangata ingoa poke, kiki tonu i te tutu.
6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in you to their power to shed blood.
Nana, nga rangatira o Iharaira, puta ana nga uaua o tetahi, o tetahi i roto i a koe ki te whakaheke toto.
7 In you have they set light by father and mother: in the middle of you have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in you have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
E whakahawea ana ratou ki te papa, ki te whaea, i roto i a koe; he mahi whakatupu kino ta ratou ki te tautangata i roto i a koe: e tukinotia ana e ratou te pani me te pouaru i roto i a koe:
8 You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my sabbaths.
Ko aku mea tapu whakahaweatia iho e koe, ko aku hapati whakanoatia ana e koe.
9 In you are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in you they eat on the mountains: in the middle of you they commit lewdness.
I roto i a koe nga tangata ngautuara, he mea kia whakahekea ai he toto: i roto i a koe te kai ki runga ki nga maunga: i roto i a koe te mahi puremu.
10 In you have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in you have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
I roto i a koe te hura i to te papa e takoto tahanga ai: i roto i a koe te whakaiti i te wahine poke i a ia e noho wehe ana.
11 And one has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
He mahi whakarihariha ano ta tetahi ki te wahine a tona hoa; ko ta tetahi whakapokea iho, puremutia iho tana hunaonga; ko ta tetahi i roto i a koe, he whakaiti i tona tuahine, i te tamahine a tona papa.
12 In you have they taken gifts to shed blood; you have taken usury and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten me, says the Lord GOD.
I roto i a koe i tango ratou i te utu whakapati e whakahekea ai he toto; kua tango koe i te moni whakatupu, i nga hua ano hoki, kua haoa mai ano e koe nga taonga a ou hoa, he mea tukino, kua wareware ano koe ki ahau, e ai ta te ariki, ta Ihowa.
13 Behold, therefore I have smitten my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the middle of you.
Nana, kua pakia e ahau toku ringa ki tau hao taonga i hao ai koe, ki ou toto ano kua heke na i waenganui i a koe.
14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
E u ranei tou ngakau, e pakari ranei ou ringa, i nga ra e mahi ai ahau ki a koe? Naku, na Ihowa te kupu, maku ano e mahi.
15 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and disperse you in the countries, and will consume your filthiness out of you.
Ka whakamararatia atu ano koe e ahau ki roto ki nga tauiwi, ka titaria hoki koe ki nga whenua, a ka poto i ahau tou poke i roto i a koe.
16 And you shall take your inheritance in yourself in the sight of the heathen, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
Ka whakanoatia ano hoki koe e koe ano i te tirohanga a nga iwi, a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau.
17 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
18 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the middle of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
E te tama a te tangata, ki ahau, kua rite te whare o Iharaira ki te para: he parahi ratou katoa, he tine, he rino, he mata i waenga oumu; he para hiriwa ratou katoa.
19 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.
Na reira tenei kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, he para nei koutou katoa, na, tenei ahau te kohikohi nei i a koutou ki waenganui o Hiruharama.
20 As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.
Ka rite ki te kohikohinga o te hiriwa, o te parahi, o te rino, o te mata, o te tine ki waenganui o te oumu, puhia tonutia atu te ahi ki runga hei whakarewa; ka pena ano taku kohikohi i a koe i runga i toku riri, i toku weriweri, ka waiho ano kou tou e ahau ki reira, ka whakarewaina ano koutou.
21 Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the middle therof.
Ina, ka whakaminea koutou e ahau, ka pupuhi atu ano ahau ki a koutou i runga i te ahi, ara i toku riri, a ka rewa koutou i waenganui.
22 As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so shall you be melted in the middle thereof; and you shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury on you.
Ka rite ki te whakarewanga o te hiriwa i roto i te oumu; ka pena ano to koutou whakarewanga i waenganui o taua oumu, a ka mohio koutou kua oti toku weriweri te riringi e ahau, e Ihowa, ki runga ki a koutou.
23 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
24 Son of man, say to her, You are the land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation.
E te tama a te tangata, mea atu ki a ia, He whenua koe kihai i purea, kihai ano i whai ua i te ra o te riri.
25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the middle thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the middle thereof.
E whakatakotoria ana he he e ana poropiti i waenganui i a ia, koia ano kei te raiona mangai nui e haehae ana i te tupapaku; kua pau nga wairua i a ratou; kua riro i a ratou nga taonga me nga mea utu nui; kua tini i a ratou ona pouaru i roto i a ia.
26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Kua tukinotia e ana tohunga taku ture, whakanoatia ana e ratou aku mea tapu: kihai i wehea e ratou te tapu i te noa, kihai ano i whakakitea e ratou te wehenga o te poke, o te ma; ko o ratou kanohi huna ake e ratou ki aku hapati, a whakapokea ana ahau i roto i a ratou.
27 Her princes in the middle thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
Ko ona rangatira i roto i a ia, rite tonu ki te wuruhi e haehae ana i te tupapaku; he whakaheke toto, he whakangaro wairua, kia riro mai ai he taonga whanako.
28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord GOD, when the LORD has not spoken.
I pania ano e ana poropiti he mea mo ratou ki te paru kihai i konatunatua; he moemoea horihori a ratou; he teka nga korero a aua tohunga tuaahu ki a ratou, i a ratou ka mea nei, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, i te mea kihai a Ihowa i kore ro.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yes, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
Ko ta te iwi o te whenua, he whakatupu kino, he pahua; ae ra, e tukinotia ana e ratou te ware me te rawakore; e whakatupuria kinotia ana e ratou te tautangata i te mea kahore nei he take.
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
I te rapu ano ahau i te tangata i roto i a ratou hei hanga i te taiepa, hei tu ki te wahi pakaru ki toku aroaro mo te whenua, hei mea kei whakangaromia e ahau: heoi kihai i kitea.
31 Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed on their heads, says the Lord GOD.
Na reira i ringihia ai e ahau toku riri ki runga ki a ratou; kua whakapotoa ratou e ahau ki te ahi o toku riri: kua hoatu e ahau te utu o to ratou ara ki runga ki o ratou mahunga, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
