Ezekiel 22
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew 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 thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh 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 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come [even] unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto 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 thee, shall mock thee, [which art] 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 thee 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 thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee 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 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
Ko aku mea tapu whakahaweatia iho e koe, ko aku hapati whakanoatia ana e koe.
9 In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee 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 thee have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in thee 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 hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath 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 thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith 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 mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
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 thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? 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 thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
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 thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt 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 unto 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 midst 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 saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst 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 midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt [it; ] so will I gather [you] in mine 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 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
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 midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon 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 unto me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou [art] the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon 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 midst 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 midst 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 mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed [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 midst 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 [morter], seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath 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: yea, 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 mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith 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.
