Ezekiel 3
1 And he said to me, Son of man, eat that which thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak to the house of Israel!
Na ka ki mai ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ko tau i kite ai kainga, kainga tenei pukapuka, ka haere, ka korero ki te whare o Iharaira.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the roll to eat.
Na kua hamama toku mangai, a meinga ana ahau e ia kia kai i taua pukapuka.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, let thy stomach eat, and fill thy body with this roll which I give thee! Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
I mea ano ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, kia kai tou kopu, kia ki ano hoki tou puku i tenei pukapuka ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koe. Katahi ka kainga e ahau; na me te honi taua mea i roto i toku mangai te reka.
4 And he said to me: Son of man, go, get thee to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them!
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, whakatika, haere ki te whare o Iharaira, korerotia aku kupu ki a ratou.
5 For not to a people of a dark speech and a hard language art thou sent, but to the house of Israel;
Ehara hoki i te mea e unga ana koe ki te iwi he tauhou tona reo, he pakeke ranei; engari ki te whare o Iharaira.
6 not to many nations of a dark speech and a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Truly, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened to thee.
Ehara i te mea ki nga iwi maha he rere ke nei, he pakeke hoki to ratou reo, e kore nei koe e mohio ki a ratou kupu. He pono, ki te unga koe e ahau ki a ratou, kua whakarongo ratou ki a koe.
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee, for they will not hearken to me. For the whole house of Israel is brazen-faced and stiff-hearted.
E kore ia te whare o Iharaira e pai ki te whakarongo ki a koe; no te mea e kore ratou e pai ki te whakarongo ki ahau; he rae pakeke hoki to te whare katoa o Iharaira, he ngakau pakeke.
8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
Nana, kua oti tou mata te mea e ahau kia pakeke ki o ratou mata; tou rae kia pakeke ki o ratou rae.
9 As an adamant, harder than flint, have I made thy forehead; fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks; for they are a rebellious house.
Kua oti tou rae te mea e ahau kia rite ki te kohatu tino maro, maro atu i te mata: kaua e wehi i a ratou, kaua hoki e pairi ina titiro ratou, ahakoa he whare whakakeke ratou.
10 Moreover, he said to me: Son of man, all my words, which I shall speak to thee, receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears!
I mea ano ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, Ko aku kupu katoa ka korerotia e ahau ki a koe rongoatia ki tou ngakau, whakarangona mai ano e ou taringa.
11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and speak to them, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Na whakatika, haere ki nga whakarau, ki nga tama a tou iwi, korero ki a ratou, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; ma ratou e rongo, ma ratou ranei e kore e rongo.
12 Then the spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound, as of a great rushing, saying, “Praised be the majesty of Jehovah from his place!”
Katahi ka hapainga ake ahau e te wairua, a ka rangona e ahau i muri i ahau he reo, he haruru nui e mea ana, Kia whakapaingia te kororia o Ihowa i tona wahi.
13 I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures, that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even a noise of a great rushing.
I rongo ano ahau i te haruru o nga parirau o nga mea ora e pa ana tetahi ki tetahi, i te haruru ano o nga wira i to ratou taha, he haruru nui e ngateri haere ana.
14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me.
Heoi ka hapainga ahau e te wairua, kahakina ana ahau e ia: a haere pouri ana ahau, me te pawera o toku wairua; a i kaha te ringa o Ihowa ki runga ki ahau.
15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar; and I dwelt where they dwelt; I even dwelt astonished among them seven days.
Katahi ahau ka tae ki nga whakarau i Terapipi, e noho ra i te awa, i Kepara, ki te wahi hoki i noho ai ratou; a e whitu nga ra oku e noho ketekete ana i roto i a ratou.
16 And at the end of seven days, the word of Jehovah came to me, and said:
Na i te mutunga o nga ra e whitu, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea ia,
17 Son of man, I have set thee as a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me!
E te tama a te tangata, kua oti koe te mea e ahau hei kaitutei ma te whare o Iharaira. Na whakarongo ki te kupu o toku mangai, a ko koe hei kaiwhakatupato maku i a ratou.
18 When I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die! and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he may live, that wicked man shall die for his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
Ki te mea ahau ki te tangata kino, Ko te mate kau mou; a ka kore koe e whakatupato i a ia, ka kore e korero, e whakatupato i taua tangata kino ki tona ara kino kia ora ai ia; ka mate taua tangata kino i runga i tona he; otiia ka rapua e ahau he utu mo ona toto i tou ringa.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Engari ki te whakatupato koe i taua tangata kino, a ka kore ia e tahuri mai i tona kino, i tona ara kino, ka mate ia i runga i tona he; otiia kua ora i a koe tou wairua.
20 Again, when a righteous man turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, and he shall die because thou hast not given him warning, he will die for his sin; and his righteousness which he hath done will not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
Na ki te tahuri atu te tangata tika i tona tika, a ka mahia e ia te kino, a ka hoatu e ahau he tutukitanga waewae ki tona aroaro, ka mate ia: i te mea kihai koe i whakatupato i a ia, ka mate ia i runga i tona hara, e kore ano ana mahi tika i mah ia e ia e maharatia; otiia ka rapua e ahau he utu mo ona toto i tou ringa.
21 Yet if thou warn the righteous man, that he sin not, and the righteous man doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he hath received warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.
Na ki te whakatupato koe i te tangata tika kia kaua te tangata tika e hara, a ka kore ia e hara, he pono ka ora ia, nona hoki i rongo ki te whakatupato, a ka ora tou wairua i a koe.
22 And the hand of Jehovah was there upon me, and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and there will I speak with thee.
Na kua tae mai te ringa o Ihowa ki runga ki ahau; a ka mea ia ki ahau, Whakatika, haere ki te mania, a ka korero ahau ki a koe ki reira.
23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain, and lo, the glory of Jehovah stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
Katahi ahau ka whakatika, a haere ana ki te mania: na, ko te kororia o Ihowa i reira e tu ana, rite tonu ki te kororia i kitea e ahau ki te awa, ki Kepara, a tapapa ana ahau.
24 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spake with me, and said to me: Go, shut thyself within thy house.
Katahi ka uru te wairua ki roto ki ahau, a ka meinga e ia oku waewae kia tu ki runga: na ka korero mai ia ki ahau, ka mea ki ahau, Haere, tutakina atu koe ki roto ki tou whare.
25 And behold, O son of man, bands shall be put upon thee, and thou shalt be bound therewith; and thou shalt not go out among them.
Ko koe ia, e te tama a te tangata, nana, ka meatia iho e ratou he here ki a koe, a ka herea koe ki aua here, e kore ano koe e puta ki roto ki a ratou.
26 And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.
Ka meinga ano e ahau tou arero kia piri ki tou ngao, a ka wahangu koe, e kore ano koe e waiho hei kairiri mo to ratou he; no te mea he whare whakakeke ratou.
27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: He that will hear, let him hear, and he that will forbear, let him forbear; for they are a rebellious house.
Otiia i te wa e korero ai ahau ki a koe ka whakatuwheratia e ahau tou mangai, a ka mea koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko te tangata e rongo ana, mana e whakarongo; ko te tangata e kore e rongo, kaua ia e whakarongo: he wha re whakakeke hoki ratou.
