Ezekiel 5

1 "You, son of man, take a sharp sword; You shall take it as a barber's razor to you, and shall cause it to pass on your head and on your beard: then take balances to weigh, and divide the hair.

Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, tikina he hoari koi mau, tikina hei heu mau, ko te heu a te kaiheu, ka whakahaere ai ki runga ki tou mahunga, ki tou pahau ano: katahi ka tiki i etahi pauna hei pauna mau, ka wehe ai i nga makawe.

2 A third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and you shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it; and a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.

Ko tetahi whakatoru o nga wahi me tahu e koe ki te ahi ki waenganui o te pa, ina rite nga ra o te whakapaenga: na ka mau ki tetahi whakatoru, ka hahau ki te hoari i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha: a ko tetahi whakatoru me titari atu ki te hau: ka maunu hoki i ahau te hoari hei whai i a ratou.

3 You shall take of it a few in number, and bind them in your skirts.

Me tango ano e koe etahi o aua makawe, kia torutoru, ka takai ki roto ki nga pito o tou.

4 Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; from it shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel."

Me tango etahi o aua makawe, ka maka ki waenganui o te ahi, ka tahu ai ki te ahi; ka puta mai i reira he ahi ki te whare katoa o Iharaira.

5 "Thus says Jehovah: 'This is Jerusalem; I have placed her at the center of the nations, and countries are around her.

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko Hiruharama tenei; he mea whakatu ia naku ki waenga o nga iwi, a ko nga whenua e karapoi ana i a ia.

6 She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.'

A kua whakakeke ia ki aku whakaritenga, nui atu hoki tana mahi kino i ta nga iwi, ki aku tikanga hoki, nui atu i ta nga whenua i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha: kua paopao nei hoki ratou ki aku whakaritenga, a kihai i waiho e ratou aku tikanga he i ara mo ratou.

7 "Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Because you are turbulent more than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you';

No reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, I te mea kua nui ake to koutou tutu i to nga iwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha, kihai hoki koutou i haere i runga i aku tikanga, kihai i mahi i aku whakaritenga, kihai ano i rite ta koutou ma hi ki nga ritenga a nga iwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha;

8 therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Look, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana ko ahau, ko ahau rawa nei, hei hoariri mou; a ka whakaritea e ahau he whakaritenga i waenganui ou i te tirohanga a nga iwi.

9 I will do in you that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all your abominations.

Ka mahia ano e ahau i roto i a koe he mea kihai i mahia e ahau i mua, e kore he pena e mahia e ahau a muri; mo au mea whakarihariha katoa hoki.

10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on you; and the whole remnant of you will I scatter to all the winds.'

A ka kai nga matua i nga tamariki i roto i a koe, ka kai ano nga tamariki i o ratou matua; ka mahia ano e ahau he whakaritenga i roto i a koe, ka titaria atu ano e ahau ou morehu katoa ki nga hau katoa.

11 "'Therefore as I live,' says Jehovah, 'surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; neither shall my eye spare, and I also will have no pity.

Mo reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, kua whakapokea nei e koe toku wahi tapu ki au mea whakarihariha katoa, ki au mea anuanu katoa, mo reira ka tino whakaititia ano koe e ahau; e kore toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ano ahau e to hu.

12 A third part of you shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of you; and a third part shall fall by the sword around you; and a third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.

Ka mate tetahi whakatoru ou i te mate uruta, ka poto atu hoki i te hemokai i roto i a koe; a ka hinga tetahi whakatoru ou i te hoari i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha: na, ko tetahi whakatoru, ka titaria e ahau ki nga hau katoa, ka maunu ano i aha u te hoari hei whai i a ratou.

13 Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted; and they shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.

Na ka whakapaua atu toku riri, ka meinga ano e ahau kia tutuki toku weriweri ki runga ki a ratou, ka whai whakamarietanga ano ahau; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau te korero nei i runga i toku hae, ina whakapaua e ahau toku weriweri ki runga ki a ratou.

14 Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by.

Ka meinga ano koe e ahau hei ururua, hei ingoa kino i roto i nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, i te tirohanga a nga tangata katoa e haere atu ana.

15 And you shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I shall execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes; I, Jehovah, have spoken;

Heoi ka waiho a kona hei ingoa kino, hei tawainga, hei mea e ako ai, e miharo ai nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, ina mahia e ahau nga whakaritenga ki a koe i runga i te riri, i te weriweri, i nga whakatupehupehu, aritarita rawa: naku, n a Ihowa te kupu,

16 when I shall send on them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine on you, and will break your staff of bread;

Ina tukua e ahau ki a ratou nga pere kino o te hemokai, hei whakamoti, ko aku e tuku atu ai hei whakamoti i a koutou; ka whakanuia ano e ahau to koutou hemokai, whati iho to koutou tokotoko, ara te taro.

17 and I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they shall bereave you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword on you: I, Jehovah, have spoken it.'"

Ka tukua atu ano e ahau te hemokai ki a koutou, me nga kirehe kikino, a ka poto i a ratou au tamariki; ka tika atu ano te mate uruta me te whakaheke toto i waenganui i a koe; ka kawea atu ano e ahau te hoari ki a koe. Naku na Ihowa te kupu.
