Ezekiel 24
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i te iwa o nga tau, i te tekau o nga marama, i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, i mea,
2 Son of man, write thee down the name of this day, of this same day: the king of Babylon hath advanced against Jerusalem on this same day.
E te tama a te tangata, tuhituhia te ingoa o tenei ra, o tenei ra kotahi rawa nei: ko te tino ra tenei i anga nui ai te kingi o Papurona ki Hiruharama.
3 And speak concerning the rebellious family a parable, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Set on the pot, set it on, and also pour water into it;
Korerotia hoki tetahi kupu whakarite ki te whare whakakeke, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Whakaekea te kohua, whakaekea, ringihia ano he wai ki roto.
4 Gather the proper pieces into it, every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it up with the choice bones.
Kohikohia ano ona wahi ki roto, nga wahi pai katoa, te huha, te peke; whakakiia ki nga wheua pai rawa.
5 Take the choice of the flock, and make also a fire for the bones under it: cause it to seethe well, that even the bones therein may be fully boiled through.
Tikina te hipi pai rawa, me haupu nga wheua ki raro i a ia; kia nui te koropuputanga; ae ra, kohuatia ona wheua ki roto.
6 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of blood-guiltiness, to the pot the scum of which is yet in it, and the scum of which is not gone out of it! one of its pieces after the other take out from it: no lot is cast for it.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Aue, te mate mo te pa toto, me te kohua he waikura nei tona, kihai nei tona waikura i tahia! whakaputaina ki waho tenei wahi ona, tenei wahi ona; kahore tetahi rota i tau ki runga i a ia.
7 For her blood was in the midst of her; on the naked rock did she place it: she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it over with dust.
No te mea kei roto i a ia ona toto, kua waiho e ia ki runga ki te kamaka; kihai i ringihia e ia ki te whenua, kia hipokina ai ki te puehu;
8 To cause my fury to arise to take vengeance, do I place her blood upon the naked rock, so that it shall not be covered up.
He mea kia puta ake ai te weriweri ki te rapu utu, kua waiho e ahau ona toto ki runga ki te kamaka, kei hipokina.
9 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of blood-guiltiness! I also will myself build up a large burning pile,
Na reira tenei kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Aue, te mate mo te pa toto! maku ano e whakanui tona puranga wahie.
10 Heaping on the wood, kindling the fire, thoroughly boiling the flesh, and stirring the mixture, that the bones may be scorched.
Purangatia te wahie, whakaungia te ahi, kia pai rawa te kohua i nga kiko; meatia marietia kia pupuru nga kai, kia wera hoki nga wheua.
11 Then will I set it empty upon its coals, in order that it may become hot, and its copper be made to glow, and its uncleanness may be molten in it, that its scum may be consumed.
Ka tu kau, whakaturia ki runga ki ona ngarahu, kia mahana ai, kia wera ai tona parahi, kia rewa ai tona poke i roto, kia poto ai te waikura.
12 With fraud hath she wearied [the poor]; therefore shall not go forth from her the greatness of her scum: through fire shall her scum [be removed].
Kua hoha ia i te mahi; otiia kihai tona waikura nui i puta atu i roto i a ia; kahore tona waikura i kore i te ahi.
13 In thy uncleanness is [thy] incest; because I endeavored to cleanse thee, and thou wouldst not be clean, thou shalt not be cleansed from thy uncleanness any more, until I have assuaged my fury on thee.
He he kei roto i tou poke: na, mea noa ahau i a koe kia ma, a kihai koe i ma; mo reira e kore tou poke e whakamakia a muri ake nei, kia makona ra ano toku riri ki a koe.
14 I the Lord have spoken it; it cometh to pass, and I will do it; I will not recall my decree, and I will not have pity, nor will I repent: according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall men judge thee, saith the Lord Eternal.
Naku, na Ihowa te kupu: ka rite, ka mahia ano e ahau, e kore taku e taka, e kore ano ahau, e manawapa, e kore e ripeneta; ka rite ki ou ara, ka rite ki au mahi ta ratou whakawa mou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
16 Son of man, behold, I will take away from thee the desire of thy eyes by a sudden death; but thou shalt neither mourn nor weep, nor shalt thou shed a tear.
E te tama a te tangata, ka tangohia mai e ahau i tou taha ta ou kanohi i hiahia ai, ka whakapangia ki te mate: kaua ano ia e uhungatia, kaua e tangihia, kaua ou roimata e puta.
17 Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the deceased, thy bonnet bind around thy head, and thy shoes put on thy feet, and cover not thyself to thy upper lip, and eat not the bread of [other] men.
E tangi, engari kia ngawari; kauaka he uhunga tupapaku, herea tou tupare ki runga ki a koe, kuhua ano ou hu ki ou waewae, kaua ano ou ngutu e araia, kaua ano e kainga te taro tangata.
18 And when I had spoken unto the people in the morning, my wife died at evening: and I did in the morning as I had been commanded.
Heoi i korero ahau ki te iwi i te ata; a i te ahiahi ka mate toku hoa wahine: na i te ata ka meatia e ahau te mea i whakahaua ki ahau.
19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things mean for us, that thou doest so?
Na ka mea te iwi ki ahau, E kore ianei e korerotia e koe ki a matou, he aha mo matou ena mea e meatia na e koe?
20 And I said unto them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Ano ra ko ahau ki a ratou, I puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and the darling of your soul: and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
Mea atu ki te whare o Iharaira, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Tenei ahau te whakapoke nei i toku wahi tapu, i ta koutou i whakaii ai, i ta koutou kanohi e hiahia nei, i te mea e manawapatia ana e to koutou wairua: na, ko a koutou tama, k o a koutou tamahine, i mahue nei ki a koutou, ka hinga i te hoari.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover yourselves to your upper lip, and the bread of other men shall ye not eat.
A ko ta koutou e mea ai ka rite ki taku i mea nei: e kore o koutou ngutu e araia, e kore ano koutou e kai i te taro tangata.
23 And your bonnets shall be around your heads, and your shoes shall be on your feet: ye shall not mourn nor shall ye weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and groan, looking one at the other.
E mau ano o koutou tupare ki o koutou mahunga, o koutou hu ki o koutou waewae; e kore koutou e uhunga, e kore e tangi; engari ka memehia atu i runga i o koutou he, ka koingo ki tetahi, ki tetahi.
24 Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you for a token; in accordance with all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord Eternal.
A hei tohu a Ehekiera ki a koutou: ka rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ta koutou e mea ai: ka pa mai tenei, ka mohio koutou ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.
25 Also, thou son of man, behold, on the day when I take from them their stronghold, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the coveted object of their soul, their sons and their daughters, —
Na, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, he teka ianei i te ra e tangohia atu ai e ahau to ratou kaha, to ratou koa whakakororia, ta o ratou kanohi e hiahia ai, ta o ratou ngakau e okaka tonu ai, a ratou tama, a ratou tamahine,
26 On that day there shall come one that hath escaped unto thee, and announce it to thy ears.
I taua ra ka haere mai te mea i mawhiti ki a koe kia rongo ai ou taringa?
27 On that day shall thy mouth be opened through him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and thou shalt not be silenced any more: and thou shalt be a token unto them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
I taua ra ka puaki tou mangai ki te tangata i mawhiti, a ka korero, kore ake ou wahangu; hei tohu hoki koe ki a ratou; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau
