< Ezekiel 9 >
1 And He cries [with] a loud voice in my ears, saying, “Inspectors of the city have drawn near, and each [with] his destroying weapon in his hand.”
I karanga ano ia ki oku taringa, he nui te reo, i mea, Kia whakatata mai nga kaitirotiro o te pa, me tana patu whakangaro i te ringa o tenei, o tenei.
2 And behold, six men are coming from the way of the upper gate, that is facing the north, and each [with] his slaughter-weapon in his hand, and one man in their midst is clothed with linen, and a scribe’s inkhorn at his loins, and they come in, and stand near the bronze altar.
Na tokoono nga tangata e haere mai ana i te ara o to runga kuwaha e anga ana ki te raki, me tana patu whakamate ano i te ringa o tenei, o tenei: ko tetahi tangata ano i roto i a ratou he rinena tona kakahu, he pounamu ano na te kaituhituhi i tona taha. Na tomo ana ratou, tu ana i te taha o te aata parahi.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel has gone up from off the cherub, on which it has been, to the threshold of the house.
Na kua kake atu te kororia o te Atua o Iharaira i te kerupa, ko tona taunga nei tera, ki te paepae o te whare: na ka karanga tera ki te tangata, he rinena nei tona kakahu, ki tera kei tona taha nei te pounamu a te kaituhituhi;
4 And He calls to the man who is clothed with linen, who has the scribe’s inkhorn at his loins, and YHWH says to him, “Pass on into the midst of the city, into the midst of Jerusalem, and you have made a mark on the foreheads of the men who are sighing and who are groaning for all the abominations that are done in its midst.”
A ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, E tika na waenganui i te pa, na waenga i Hiruharama, ka whakapiri i tetahi tohu ki nga rae o nga tangata e aue ana, e tangi ana, mo nga mea whakarihariha katoa e mahia ana i waenganui o konei.
5 And to the others he said in my ears, “Pass on into the city after him, and strike; your eye does not pity, nor do you spare;
I mea ano ia ki era atu, me te whakarongo ano ahau, E tika koutou na waenganui o te pa i muri i a ia patu ai: kaua o koutou kanohi e manawapa, kaua e tohu.
6 aged, young man, and virgin, and infant, and women, you slay—to destruction; and against any man on whom [is] the mark you do not go near, and you begin from My sanctuary.”
Patua kia ngaro te kaumatua, te taitama, te kotiro, me nga kohungahunga, me nga wahine; kaua ia e tata ki tetahi tangata i a ia nei te tohu; me timata ki toku wahi tapu. Na kua timata ratou ki nga kaumatua i te aronga o te whare.
7 And they begin among the aged men who [are] before the house, and He says to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the wounded, go forth.” And they have gone forth and have struck in the city.
I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Whakapokea te whare, whakakiia nga marae ki te tupapaku: haere koutou. Heoi haere ana ratou, na kei te patu i roto i te pa.
8 And it comes to pass, as they are striking, and I am left—that I fall on my face, and cry, and say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, are You destroying all the remnant of Israel, in Your pouring out Your wrath on Jerusalem?”
Na i a ratou e patu ana, a ka mahue ahau, ka tapapa ahau, ka karanga, ka mea, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa! ka ngaro ianei i a koe nga morehu katoa o Iharaira, i te mea ka ringihia nei e koe tou weriweri ki runga ki Hiruharama?
9 And He says to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] very, very great, and the land is full of blood, and the city has been full of perverseness, for they have said: YHWH has forsaken the land, and YHWH is not seeing.
Ano ra ko ia ki ahau, He nui rawa te he o te whare o Iharaira raua ko Hura, kua ki hoki te whenua i te toto, kua ki ano te pa i te whakariroinga o te whakawa: e mea ana hoki ratou, Kua mahue te whenua i a Ihowa, e kore a Ihowa e kite.
10 And I also, My eye does not pity, nor do I spare; I have put their way on their own head.”
Na, ko ahau nei hoki, e kore toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ahau e tohu; ka hoatu e ahau te utu o to ratou ara ki runga ki to ratou mahunga.
11 And behold, the man clothed with linen, at whose loins [is] the inkhorn, is bringing back word, saying, “I have done as You have commanded me.”
Na, ko te tangata i te kakahu rinena, tera kei tona taha ra te pounamu mangumangu, korerotia ana e ia taua mea, i ki ia, Kua oti i ahau tau i whakahau ra ki ahau.
