Ezekiel 36
1 "You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, 'You mountains of Israel, hear the word of YHWH.
Na ko koe e te tama a te tangata, poropiti atu ki nga maunga o Iharaira, mea atu, E nga maunga o Iharaira, whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa.
2 Thus says YHWH: "Because the enemy has said against you, 'Aha.' and, 'The ancient high places are ours in possession'"';
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua mea nei te hoariri ki a koutou, Ha! na, Kua riro mai hoki mo tatou nga pukepuke onamata:
3 therefore prophesy, and say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people";
Mo reira, poropiti atu, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua meinga na koutou e ratou kia tu kau, kua horomia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, i riro ai koutou ma nga toenga o nga iwi, i hapainga ake ai e nga ngutu o nga arero kape tau, i korerotia kinotia ai e te iwi:
4 therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of YHWH: "Thus says YHWH to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;
Mo reira, e nga maunga o Iharaira whakarongo ki te kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, ki nga maunga, ki nga pukepuke, ki nga awa, ki nga awaawa, ki nga ururua kua takoto kau, ki nga pa kua mahue, kua riro nei hei pahu atanga, hei katanga ma nga toenga o nga iwi a tawhio noa.
5 therefore thus says YHWH: 'Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.'"'
Na reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, He pono he ahi toku hae, i ahau i korero ai i te he mo nga toenga o nga iwi, mo Eroma katoa ano; mo ta ratou meatanga i toku whenua hei kainga mo ratou, pau katoa te ngakau ki te koa, kino tonu te hi nengaro, mo tera kia peia atu, kia waiho hei taonga parau.
6 "Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, 'Thus says YHWH: "Look, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations:
Na reira poropititia te whenua o Iharaira, ki atu ki nga maunga, ki nga pukepuke, ki nga awa, ki nga awaawa, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, kua korero ahau i runga i toku hae, i toku weriweri, no te mea e mau ana ki a koutou te whaka ma o nga tauiwi:
7 therefore thus says the Lord YHWH: 'I have sworn, saying, "Surely the nations that are around you, they shall bear their shame."
Na reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Kua ara toku ringa kua mea, He pono, ko nga iwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha, ka mau ki a ratou to ratou whakama.
8 "'"'But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.
Ko koutou ia, e nga maunga o Iharaira, ka wana o koutou manga, ka whai hua koutou ma taku iwi, ma Iharaira; ka tata hoki ratou te puta.
9 For, look, I am for you, and I will turn into you, and you shall be tilled and sown;
No te mea, nana, ka aro ahau ki a koutou, ka tahuri ki a koutou, a ka ngakia koutou, ka whakatokia.
10 and I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built;
Ka tini ano i ahau nga tangata ki a koutou, te whare katoa o Iharaira, ratou katoa, a ka mohoia nga pa, ka hanga ano nga ururua.
11 and I will multiply on you man and animal; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your former estate, and will do better to you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I am YHWH.
Ka tini ano i ahau nga tangata ki a koutou, me nga kararehe; a ka tini ratou, ka hua; ka meinga hoki koutou e ahau kia nohoia, kia pera me to mua, a ka pai atu taku e mea ai ki a koutou i to o koutou timatanga: a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no more henceforth bereave them of children.'"
Ae ra, ka meinga koutou e ahau kia haereerea e te tangata, e taku iwi, e Iharaira; ka riro koe i a ratou, ka waiho hoki koe hei kainga tupu mo ratou, a heoi ano matenga o a ratou tamariki i a koe.
13 "'Thus says YHWH: "Because they say to you, 'You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation';
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua korerotia nei ki a koutou, He kai tangata koe, e te whenua, e whakamate ana i nga tamariki a tou iwi;
14 therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nation any more," says YHWH;
Na reira e kore koe e kai tangata a muri ake nei, e kore ano e hinga i a koe ou iwi a muri nei, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
15 "neither will I let you hear any more the shame of the nations, neither shall you bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shall you cause your nation to stumble any more," says YHWH.'"
Heoi ano aku meatanga kia rangona ki a koe te numinumi i nga iwi, e kore ano e mau ki a koe i nga wa i muri te tawai a nga iwi; e kore ano koe e mea i nga waewae o ou iwi kia tutuki a ake ake, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
16 Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
17 "Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
E te tama a te tangata, i te nohoanga o te whare o Iharaira i to ratou oneone, i whakapokea a reira e ratou ki to ratou ara, ki a ratou mahi: ko to ratou ara i toku aroaro, rite tonu ki te poke o te wahine e paheke ana.
18 Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols;
Heoi ringihia ana e ahau toku weriweri ki runga ki a ratou, mo te toto i tahoroa e ratou ki runga ki te whenua, mo a ratou whakapakoko hoki i whakapokea ai a reira e ratou.
19 and I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
A whakamararatia atu ana ratou e ahau ki roto ki nga iwi, titaria atu ana ki nga whenua; rite tonu ki to ratou ara, ki a ratou mahi taku whakarite mo ratou.
20 When they came to the nations, where they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, 'These are the people of YHWH, and are gone forth out of his land.'
A, i to ratou taenga ki nga iwi i haere atu ai ratou, whakanoatia ana e ratou toku ingoa tapu, i a ratou i ki ra mo ratou, Ko te iwi tenei a Ihowa, a kua puta atu ratou i tona whenua.
21 But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, where they went.
Otiia i whai whakaaro ahau ki toku ingoa tapu i whakanoatia nei e te whare o Iharaira i roto i nga tauiwi i haere atu ai ratou.
22 "Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says YHWH: "I do not do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, where you went.
Mo reira ki atu ki te whare o Iharaira; Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ehara i te mea he whakaaro ki a koutou i mahi ai ahau i tenei, e te whare o Iharaira; engari ki toku ingoa tapu i whakanoatia nei e koutou i roto i nga tauiwi i haere atu ai koutou.
23 I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am YHWH when I magnify myself among you before their eyes.
Ka whakatapua ano e ahau toku ingoa nui i whakanoatia nei i roto i nga tauiwi, ko ta koutou ra i whakanoa ai i roto i a ratou; a ka mohio nga tauiwi ko Ihowa ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ina whakatapua ahau i roto i a koutou i to ratou aroa ro.
24 For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Ka tangohia mai hoki koutou e ahau i roto i nga tauiwi, ka whakaminea i nga whenua katoa, ka kawea mai ano ki to koutou oneone.
25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Ka tauhiuhia ano koutou e ahau ki te wai ma, a ka ma koutou: ka purea koutou e ahau, a kore iho o koutou poke katoa, a koutou whakapakoko katoa.
26 And I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
Ka hoatu ano e ahau he ngakau hou ki a koutou, ka hoatu ano e ahau he wairua hou ki roto ki a koutou; ka tangohia ano e ahau te ngakau kohatu i roto i o koutou kikokiko, a ka hoatu he ngakau kikokiko ki a koutou.
27 I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.
Na ka hoatu e ahau toku wairua ki roto ki a koutou, a ka meinga koutou e ahau kia haere i runga i aku tikanga, ka puritia ano e koutou aku ritenga, ka mahia.
28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
A ka noho koutou ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki o koutou matua, ko koutou hoki hei iwi maku, ko ahau hei Atua mo koutou.
29 I will save you from all your uncleanness: and I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.
Ka whakaorangia ano koutou e ahau i o koutou poke katoa: ka karangatia hoki e ahau te witi, ka whakanuia hoki e ahau, e kore ano te hemokai e tukua e ahau ki a koutou.
30 I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.
A ka meinga e ahau kia maha nga hua o te rakau me nga mau o te mara, a heoi ano te tawai hemokai mo koutou i roto i nga tauiwi.
31 Then you shall remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
Katahi koutou ka mahara ki o koutou ara kino, ki a koutou mahi kahore nei e pai; a ka anuanu koutou ki a koutou ano i o koutou aroaro mo o koutou kino, mo a koutou mea whakarihariha hoki.
32 Nor for your sake do I this," says YHWH, "be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel."'
Ehara i te mea he whakaaro ki a koutou i mahi ai ahau i tenei, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, kia mohio koutou: kia whakama koutou, kia numinumi kau ki o koutou ara, e te whare o Iharaira.
33 "Thus says YHWH: 'In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; I te ra e purea ai e ahau o koutou he katoa, ka meinga e ahau nga pa kia nohoia, a ka hanga nga ururua.
34 The land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.
Na, ko te whenua i takoto kau ra, ka ngakia; he ururua ra hoki i mua ki te titiro a te hunga katoa e tika ana na reira.
35 They shall say, "This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited."
A ka korerotia, Ko tenei whenua i takoto kau ra, kua rite ki te kari o Erene; na, ko nga pa kua ururuatia, ko era i takoto kau ra, ko nga mea pakura, kua oti te taiepa, e nohoia ana.
36 Then the nations that are left around you shall know that I, YHWH, have built the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate: I, YHWH, have spoken it, and I will do it.'"
Katahi ka mohio nga iwi kua mahue i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha, kua hanga e ahau, e Ihowa, nga wahi i pakaru, a kua whakatokia e ahau nga wahi kua ururuatia: naku, na Ihowa te kupu, maku ano e mahi.
37 "Thus says YHWH: 'For this, moreover, will I be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tenei ake ka uia tenei ki ahau e te whare o Iharaira, kia meatia ki a ratou; ka tokomaha ratou i ahau, me e mea he kahui te tangata.
38 As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am YHWH.'"
Ka rite ki te kahui mo te whakahere, ki te kahui o Hiruharama i ona hakari nunui; ka pena ano nga pa kua ururuatia, ka kapi i nga kahui tangata; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
