Ezekiel 20

1 It happened in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.

EIA hoi kekahi, i ka hiku o ka makahiki, i ka lima o ka mahina, i ka la umi o ua mahina la, hele mai kekahi poe o na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela e ninau ia Iehova, a noho iho la imua o ko'u alo.

2 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Alaila hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

3 "Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says the LORD, I will not be inquired of by you."'

E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe i na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, e i aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Hele mai nei oukou e ninau ia'u? Ma ko'u ola ana, aole au e ninauia e oukou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

4 Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;

E hoohewa oe ia lakou, e hoohewa ia lakou, e ke keiki a ke kanaka? E hoike ia lakou i na mea I hoopailua o ko lakou poe makua.

5 and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, 'I am the LORD your God';

E olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku penei; i ka la i koho aku ai au i ka Iseraela, a i hapai ai i kuu lima i na keiki a ka ohana a Iakoba, a i hoike ai ia'u iho ia lakou ma ka aina Aigupita, i ka wa i hapai ai au i kuu lima ia lakou, me ka i ana'e, Owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua;

6 in that day I swore to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.

I ka la i hapai ai au i kuu lima ia lakou, e lawe mai ia lakou mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, i ka aina a'u i nana aku ai no lakou, e kahe ana ka waiu a me ka meli, ka mea nani o na aina a pau:

7 I said to them, 'Cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.'

Alaila olelo aku la au ia lakou, E haalele oukou kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea inainaia o kona mau maka, mai noho a hoohaumia ia oukou iho ma na kii o Aigupita: owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua.

8 But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me; they each didn't throw away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

Aka, kipi mai la lakou ia'u, aole o lakou makemake e hoolohe mai ia'u; aole lakou i haalele kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea inainaia o ko lakou mau maka, aole hoi i haalele i na kii o Aigupita: alaila olelo aku au, E ninini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou, e hooko i ko'u huhu ia lakou mawaenakonu o ka aina o Aigupita.

9 But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

Aka, ua hana au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, iwaena o ia poe i noho ai lakou: imua hoi o ko lakou mau maka i hoike ai au ia'u iho ia lakou, i ka lawe ana mai ia lakou mai loko mai o ka aina o Aigupita.

10 "'"So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

A lawe mai la hoi au ia lakou mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, a alakai ia lakou iloko o ka waonahele.

11 I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them.

Haawi aku la hoi au i ka'u mau kauoha ia lakou, a hoike aku la hoi au i ko'u mau kanawai ia lakou, o na mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila.

12 Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

A o ko'u mau Sabati kekahi ka'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou, i hoailona iwaena o'u a me lakou, i ike lakou owau no Iehova ka mea nana lakou i hoano.

13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they didn't walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

Aka, kipi mai la ka ohana a Iseraela ia'u ma ka waonahele, aole lakou i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, ua hoowahawaha hoi lakou i ko'u mau kanawai, o na mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila: a ua hoohaumia nui lakou i ko'u mau Sabati. Alaila elele aku la au, E ninini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou ma ka waonahele, e hoopau ai ia lakou.

14 But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

Aka, hana iho la au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, imua o ko lakou alo i lawe mai ai au ia lakou iwaho.

15 "'"Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the most beautiful of all lands;

Ua hapai no nae au i kuu lima ia lakou, ma ka waonahele, e lawe ole au ia lakou i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai, e kahe ana ka waiu a me ka meli, ka mea naui o na aina a pau;

16 because they rejected my ordinances, and didn't walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

No ka mea, ua hoowahawaha lakou i ko'u mau kanawai, aole hoi i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, aka, ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u mau Sabati; no ka mea, ua hele ko lakou naau mamuli o ko lakou mau kii.

17 Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn't destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.

Aka hoi, ua aloha aku ko'u maka ia lakou i ole e luku ia lakou; aole hoi au i hoopau ia lakou ma ka waonahele.

18 "'"I said to their children in the wilderness, 'Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

Aka, olelo aku la au i ka lakou mau keiki ma ka waonahele, Mai hele oukou ma na oihana a ko oukou mau makuakane, aole hoi e malama i ko lakou mau kanawai, aole hoi e hoohaumia ia oukou iho me ko lakou mau akuakii.

19 I am the LORD your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them;

Owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua; e hele hoi oukou ma ka'u mau kauoha, a e malama i ko'u mau kanawai, a e hana oukou ma ia mau mea:

20 and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.'

A e hoauo hoi i ko'u mau Sabati; a e lilo ia i hoailona iwaena o'u a me oukou, i ike oukou owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua.

21 But the children rebelled against me; they didn't walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

Kipi mai la nae na keiki ia'u; aole lakou i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, aole hoi lakou i malama i ko'u mau kanawai e hana malaila, o ua mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila: ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u mau Sabati; alaila olelo iho la au, e niuini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou, e hooko ai i ko'u huhu ia lakou ma ka waonahele.

22 Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.

Aka, hoihoi mai au i kuu lima, a hana hoi au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, imua o ko lakou alo i lawe mai ai au ia lakou.

23 Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;

Hapai ae la hoi au i kuu lima ia lakou ma ka waonahele, e hooauhee liilii ia lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e hoopuehu ia lakou ma na aina.

24 because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

No ka mea, aole lakou i hana ma ko'u mau kanawai, aka, ua hoowahawaha i ka'u mau kauoha, a ua hoohaumia i ko'u mau Sabati, a o ko lakou mau maka, aia no mamuli o na kii o ko lakou mau makua.

25 Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live;

Nolaila hoi, haawi au no lakou i na kauoha pono ole, a me na kanawai i ola ole ai lakou ilaila;

26 and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD."'

A ua hoohaumia au ia lakou iloko o ko lakou mau haawina; i ko lakou hoohele ana iwaena o ke ahi i na mea a pau i wehe ae i ka opu, i hooneoneo au ia lakou, i mea e ike ai lakou owau no Iehova.

27 "Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.

Nolaila e olelo aku, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, i ka ohana a Iseraela, a e i aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Maloko no hoi o keia, i hoino wale mai ai ko oukou mau makua ia'u, i ka lakou hana hewa ana mai ia'u:

28 For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their pleasant aroma, and they poured out there their drink offerings.

I ko'u lawe ana mai ia lakou i ka aina, nona i hapai ai au i kuu lima e haawi aku au ia no lakou, a ike lakou i na puu kiekie a pau, a me na laau paapu a pau, alaila kaumaha ae la lakou i ka lakou mau mohai malaila; a haawi lakou ilaila i ka hoonaukiuki ana o ka lakou alana: ilaila hoi i hana aku ai lakou i ko lakou mea ala, a i ninini aku ai i ka lakou mau mohai inu.

29 Then I said to them, 'What does the high place where you go mean?' So its name is called Bamah to this day."'

Alaila olelo aku la au ia lakou, Heaha ka wahi kiekie e hele aku ai oukou? A ua kapaia kona inoa o Bama a hiki i keia la.

30 "Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says the LORD: "Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? And do you play the prostitute after their abominations?

Nolaila e olelo aku i ka ohana a Iseraela, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Ua haumia anei oukou mamuli o ka aoao o ko oukou mau makua? A ua moe kolohe anei oukou mamuli o ko lakou mau mea inainaia?

31 And when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? And shall I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the LORD, I will not be inquired of by you;

No ka mea, i ko oukou kaumaha ana i ka oukou mau mohai, i ko oukou hoohele ana i ka oukou mau keiki iwaena o ke ahi, ua hoohaumia oukou ia oukou iho me ko oukou mau akuakii a pau, a hiki i keia la; a e uinauia mai anei au e oukou, e ka ohana a Iseraela? Na ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aole au e ninauia mai e oukou.

32 and that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, in that you say, 'We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.'

A o ka mea i kupu iloko o ko oukou naau, aole loa ia, i ka oukou olelo ana, E like kakou me na lahuikanaka, e like me na ohana o na aina i ka hoomana i ka laau a me ka pohaku.

33 As I live," says the LORD, "surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you:

Ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, He oiaio, me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kikoo aku, a me ka ukiuki i nininiia aku, e alii ai au maluna o oukou:

34 and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out;

A e lawe mai au ia oukou mai waena mai o kanaka, a e hoakoakoa au ia oukou mai na aina mai i hooauheeia'i oukou, me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kikoo, a me ka ukiuki i niniuiia'ku.

35 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.

A e lawe au ia oukou iloko o ka waouahele o kanaka, a malaila au e hakaka ai me oukou, he maka no he maka.

36 Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you," says the LORD.

Me au hoi i hakaka ai me ko oukou mau makua ma ka waonahele o ka aina Aigupita, pela e hakaka ai au me oukou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

37 "I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

A e hoohele ae au ia oukou malalo ae o ko kookoo, a e lawe au ia oukou iloko o ka mea paa o ka berita:

38 and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who disobey against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the LORD."

A e holoi aku wau mai waena aku o oukou i na kipi, a me ka poe i hana hewa mai ia'u; e lawe mai au ia lakou mai ka aina mai i noho iki ai lakou, aole nae lakou e komo i ka aina o ka Iseraela; a e ike i oukou owau no Iehova.

39 "'As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord GOD: "Go, serve everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols.

A oukou hoi, e ka ohana a Iseraela, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E hele oukou, a e malama kela mea keia mea i kona mau kii, a mahope aku hoi, ina aole oukou e hoolohe mai ia'u: aka, mai hoohaumia hou i ko'u inoa, me ka oukou mau haawina a me ko oukou mau akuakii.

40 For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel," says the LORD, "there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.

No ka mea, ma ko'u mauna hoano, ma ka mauna kiekie o ka Iseraela, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, malaila e malama mai ai ia'u ka ohana a pau a Iseraela, o ka poe a pau loa ma ka aina; malaila e maliu ai au ia lakou, malaila e kauoha ai au i ka oukou mau mohai, a me na hua mua o ka oukou mau alana, me ko oukou mau mea hoano a pau.

41 As a pleasant aroma will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.

E maliu au ia oukou me ko oukou mea ala ono, aia lawe mai au ia oukou mai ka poe kanaka mai, a e hoakoakoa ia oukou mai loko mai o na aina i hooauhee liilii ia ai oukou; a e hoanoia mai au ma o oukou la i na maka o na lahuikanaka.

42 You shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.

A e ike oukou owau no Iehova, aia lawe mai au ia oukou iloko o ka aina o ka Iseraela, i ka aina nona i hapai ai au i kuu lima e haawi aku ia i ko oukou poe makua.

43 There you shall remember your ways, and all your doings, in which you have polluted yourselves; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.

A malaila e hoomanao ai oukou i ko oukou mau aoao, a me ka oukou mau hana a pau, na mea i haumia ai oukou; a e hoowahawaha oukou ia oukou iho i ko oukou mau maka, no na mea ino a pau a oukou i hana aku ai.

44 You shall know that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel," says the LORD.'"

A e ike no oukou owau no Iehova, aia hana au me oukou no ko'u inoa, aole mamuli o ko oukou mau aoao hewa, aole hoi e like me ka oukou hana hewa ana, e ka ohana a Iseraela, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

45 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

46 "Son of man, set your face toward the south, and drop your word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;

E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hookupono oe i kou wahi maka i ke kukuluhema, a e hoolei aku i kau olelo ma ka aoao hema e wanana ku e oe i ka ululaau o ka aina hema:

47 and tell the forest of the South, 'Hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the LORD, "Look, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby.

A e olelo aku i ka ululaau o ke kukuluhema, E hoolohe i ka olelo a Iehova, no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoi, e kukuni au i ke ahi iloko ou, a e hoopau ae ia i na laau maka a pau iloko ou, a me na laau maloo a pau; a o ka lapalapa e lapalapa ana aole loa ia e kinaiia, a e wela ilaila na wahi maka a pau mai ke kukuluhema a ke kukuluakau.

48 All flesh shall see that I, the LORD, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched."'"

A e ike no ka io a pau, na'u na Iehova ia i kukuni, aole no ia e kinaiia.

49 Then I said, "Ah, LORD. They say of me, 'Isn't he a speaker of parables?'"

I aku la hoi au, Auwe, e Iehova ka Haku ke olelo nei lakou no'u, Aole anei ia e olelo i na olelo nane?
