< Ezekiel 13 >

1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
2 Son of man. prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, —and say unto them who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Yahweh,
E te tama a te tangata, poropititia he he mo nga poropiti o Iharaira e poropiti nei, mea atu hoki ki te hunga no o ratou ngakau ta ratou e poropiti nei, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa.
3 Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Alas for the base prophets, —who follow their own spirit and have seen, nothing.
Ko te kupu tenei a te ariki, a Ihowa; Aue, te mate mo nga poropiti wairangi, e whai nei i o ratou wairua ake, a kihai i kite i tetahi mea!
4 As jackals, among ruins, thy prophets O Israel have been.
I rite tonu ou poropiti, e Iharaira, ki nga pokiha i nga wahi koraha.
5 Ye have not gone up into the breaches, Nor built a wall about the house of Israel, - to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh.
Kihai koutou i haere ki nga wahi pakaru, kihai ano i hanga i te taiepa mo te whare o Iharaira, hei turanga i te taturanga i te ra o Ihowa.
6 They have had Visions of falsehood, and Divinations of lies, Who say. Declareth Yahweh, when, Yahweh, hath not sent them, — Yet have they waited for a fulfilling of the word.
He kitenga teka, he tuaahu horihori ta ratou e ki ra, E ai ta Ihowa; ehara ratou i a Ihowa i unga: a kua meinga e ratou te tangata kia tumanako, tera e mana te kupu.
7 Is it not a Vision of falsehood, ye have seen, and a Divination of lies, ye have spoken, Since ye are saying. Declareth Yahweh! when I have not spoken?
He teka ianei he kitenga teka ta koutou kitenga, he horihori te tuaahu i korero ai koutou, i ki ai, E ki ana a Ihowa; a kihai nei ahau i korero?
8 Therefore Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Because ye have spoken falsehood, And have had visions of lies, Therefore behold me! against you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Kua korero na koutou i te teka, kua kite i te horihori, mo reira he hoariri tenei ahau mo koutou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
9 So then my hand shall be against the prophets who have Visions of falsehood and who divine Divinations of lies— In the council of my people, shall they not be found. And in the register of the house of Israel, shall they not be written, And Upon the so of Israel, shall they not enter, — So shall ye know that, I, am The Lord Yahweh,
Ka pa ano toku ringa ki nga poropiti he horihori nei ta ratou kitenga, ki nga tohunga tuaahu teka; e kore ratou e noho ki te runanga o taku iwi, e kore e tuhituhia ki te tuhituhinga o te whare o Iharaira, e kore ano e tae ki te whenua o Iharaira; a ka mohio koutou ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.
10 Because, yea, even because, they have led astray my people saying. Prosperity! when there was no prosperity, —and one man, was building a partition wall, when there they were! eating it with whitewash
Mo ratou, ae ra, mo ratou i whakapohehe i taku iwi, i mea, Ka mau te rongo; i te mea kahore he maunga rongo; na ko tetahi kei te hanga i te pakitara, a ko ratou hei pani ki te paru kihai i konatunatua.
11 Say thou unto them who are coating with whitewash It shall fall, - There hath come an overflowing rain And I will make hail-stones fall, And a tempestuous wind shall break it down.
Mea atu ki nga kaipani o te paru kihai i konatunatua, tera e hinga; ka puta te ua, he waipuke; ka taka iho ano koutou, e nga nganga o te whatu; ka wahia ano hoki e te hau, e te paroro.
12 Lo! when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the coating, wherewith ye coated it?
Nana, ka hinga te pakitara, kahore ranei he ki ki a koutou, kei hea te paninga i pania ra e koutou?
13 Therefore Thus saith my Lord, Yahweh, So will I break down with a tempestuous wind. in mine indignation, — And an overflowing rain in mine anger, shall there be, With hailstones in wrath to make an end;
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ina, ka wahia e ahau ki te hau, ki te paroro, i toku weriweri; ka puta ano te ua, te waipuke, i toku riri, me nga nganga ano o te whatu i toku weriweri, hei whakapoto rawa.
14 And I will pull down the wall which ye have coated with whitewash And will bring it unto the ground So shall be discovered its foundation, Yea it shall fall And ye shall come to an end in the midst thereof, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
Ka paparu pera i ahau te pakitara i pania ra e koutou ki te paru kihai i konatunatua, pa tonu iho ki te whenua, ka whakakitea ano ona turanga; a ka hinga, ka poto ano koutou ki waenganui o taua pakitara; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
15 Thus will I bring to an end mine indignation against the wall, and against them who were coating it with whitewash, And will say to you No more is the wall, And no more are they who were coating it:
Ka whakapaua peratia e ahau toku weriweri ki te pakitara, ki te hunga ano nana i pani ki te paru kihai i konatunatua; ka mea hoki ahau ki a koutou, kua kore te pakitara, kua kore ano te hunga nana i pani;
16 to wit the prophets of Israel who are prophesying unto Jerusalem, and are seeing, on her behalf, visions of prosperity, — when there is no prosperity, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Ara nga poropiti o Iharaira mo Hiruharama nei ta ratou e poropiti ai, e kite nei i te kitenga mona, i te rongo mau, i te mea kahore he rongo mau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
17 And thou, Son of man Set thy face against the daughters of thy people, Those who are prophesying out of their own heart, — And prophesy thou against them;
Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki nga tamahine a tou iwi e poropiti nei, he mea no o ratou ngakau ake; poropititia ano he he mo ratou,
18 and say, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Alas! for the women Who sew oracle, cases on all elbows And prepare wraps upon the head of every stature to hunt souls, — the souls ye hunt, are those of my people, Whereas your own souls: , ye keep alive.
Mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Aue, te mate mo nga wahine e tuitui urunga ana ki nga tuke katoa; e hanga arai ana mo nga mahunga o te roa, o te poto, hei whai wairua! Ka whai ranei koutou i nga wairua o taku iwi? ka whakaora rane i i etahi hei wairua ma koutou?
19 Thus have ye profaned me unto my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, Putting to death the souls that should not die, and Keeping alive the souls that should not live, — By your lying to my people, who hearken to lies
Kua whakapokea ahau e koutou i waenga i taku iwi hei utu mo nga kutanga parei, mo nga kongakonga taro, hei whakamate i nga wairua e kore e tika kia whakamatea, hei whakaora i nga wairua e kore e tika kia ora, i a koutou ka korero teka na ki taku iwi e whakarongo nei ki a koutou korero teka.
20 Therefore, Thus saith my Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against your oracle-cases wherewith ye are hunting the souls to make them fly, And I will tear them off your arms, And let go the souls of them whose souls ye are hunting as birds;
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, e he ana ahau ki o koutou urunga i whaia ai nga wairua e koutou i reira, i meinga ai kia rere, ka haea atu ano e ahau i o koutou ringa; ka tukua ano e ahau nga wairua kia haere, a koutou wairu a e whai na, e mea na kia rere.
21 And will tear off your wraps, And deliver my people out of your hand, And they shall be no longer in your hand to be hunted; - So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
Ka haea atu ano e ahau o koutou arai, ka whakaorangia hoki taku iwi i roto i o koutou ringa; e kore ano e waiho i o koutou ringa hei whainga atu; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
22 Because of the paining of the heart of the righteous man with falsehood, whom, I, have not pained, — And strengthening the hands of the lawless man, that he should not turn from his wicked way. by letting him live
No te mea kua whakapouritia e koutou ki te kupu teka te ngakau o te tangata tika, kihai nei i whakapouritia e ahau; a whakaungia ana nga ringa o te tangata kino, i kore ai e tahuri mai i tona ara kino, kia ora ai:
23 Therefore—of falsehood: , shall ye have no vision, And a divination: , shall ye not divine any more, — So will I deliver my people out of your hand, And ye shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
Mo reira e kore koutou e kite i te horihori a muri ake nei, i nga tikanga ranei ki nga tuaahu: a ka whakaorangia hoki e ahau taku iwi i roto i o koutou ringa; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
