Ezekiel 36
1 Thou therefore. Son of man, Prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, —and thou shalt say, Ye mountains of Israel Hear ye the word of Yahweh.
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 saith My Lord, Yahweh, Because the enemy hath said concerning you Aha! Even the high places of age-past times, for a possession have become ours
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 thou shalt say, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh-Because even because they have desolated and panted for you on every side That ye should become a possession to the rest of the nations, And ye have come up into the talk of the tongue and the slander 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 ye mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of My Lord Yahweh, — Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, To the mountains and to the hills, to the channels and to the valleys, and to the desolate waste places and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and a derision, to the rest of the nations which are on every side:
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, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Surely in the fire of my jealousy, have I spoken against the rest of the nations and against Edom all of it, — Who have given my land to themselves for a possession, In the rejoicing of all the heart In contempt of soul, To make of its produce 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 soil of Israel, —and say to the mountains and to the hills to the channels and to the valleys, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! In my jealousy and in mine indignation, have I spoken, Because the insult of the nations, ye have borne;
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 saith My Lord Yahweh, I myself have lifted my hand, - Surely the nations which are yours round about, they their own shame, shall bear:
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 ye O mountains of Israel Your boughs, shall ye shoot forth, And your fruit, shall ye bear For my people Israel, For they have drawn near to enter.
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 lo! I am towards you, Therefore will I turn towards you, And ye 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, upon you—men, All the house of Israel All of it, Then shall the cities 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 upon you—man and beast, And they shall multiply and be fruitful, — And I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former estates. And will do you more good than at your beginnings, So shall ye know that am Yahweh;
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 And I will bring upon you—men even my people Israel That they may possess thee, So shalt thou be theirs, as an inheritance, -And thou shalt no more again make them childless.
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 saith My Lord, Yahweh, Because they are saying to you. A devourer of men, thou art, And one that didst make childless thy nations, hast thou been
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, men, shalt thou not devour any more, - And thy nations, shalt thou make childless no more, Declareth My Lord Yahweh;
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 And I will not suffer to be heard against thee any more, the insult of the nations, And the reproach of the peoples, shalt thou not bear any more, - And thy nations, shalt thou not cause to stumble any more, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
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 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
17 Son of man The house of Israel were dwelling upon their own soil, But they defiled it by their way, and by their doings. Like the defilement of her that is removed, became their way before me.
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 So I poured out mine indignation upon them, Because of the blood which they had shed upon the land, - Yea with their manufactured gods, had they defiled it.
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 So I dispersed them among the nations, And they were scattered throughout the lands, — 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 But when they entered among the nations where they did enter, then profaned they my holy Name, —in that it was said of them The people of Yahweh, these! Yet from his land, have they come forth!
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 So then I had tender regard for my holy Name, - Which the house of Israel had profaned, among the nations, where they had entered.
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 say thou to the house of Israel Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Not for your sakes, am I working. O house of Israel, But for my holy Name which ye have profaned, among the nations where ye have entered;
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 Therefore will I hallow my great Name, that hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in their midst, -So shall the nations know that I am Yahweh Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, When I have hallowed myself in 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 Therefore will I take you from among the nations, And gather you out of all the lands, - And will bring you upon your own soil;
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 And I will throw upon you clean water and ye shall be clean, — From all your uncleannesses and from all your manufactured gods, 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 give you a new heart, And a new spirit, will I put within you, -And I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, And 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 And my spirit, will I put within you, And will cause That in my statutes, ye shall walk, And my regulations, ye shall observe, and do;
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 And ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, - And ye shall become my people, And I will become 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 And I will save you out of all your uncleannesses, —And will call for the corn and will increase it, And will not lay upon you famine; And I will save you out of all your uncleannesses, —And will call for the corn and will increase it, And will not lay upon you famine;
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 And I will multiply The fruit of the tree, and The increase of the field, — To the end that ye may not receive any 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 shall ye call to mind Your ways that were wicked, and Your doings that were not good, - And shall become loathsome 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 Not for your sakes, am I working, Declareth My Lord Yahweh be it known to you, — Turn ye pale and then blush for your ways. O 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 saith My Lord, Yahweh, In the day when I cleanse you, from all your iniquities, Then will I 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 And the land that was made desolate shall be tilled, — Whereas it was a desolation, before the eyes of every passer-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 And they shall say, This land that was made desolate hath become like the garden of Eden, - And the cities that were waste and deserted and thrown down, now fenced, are 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 So shall the nations that may be left remaining round about you know that, I Yahweh— Have built that which was thrown down, and Have planted that which was made desolate, — I Yahweh, have spoken and performed.
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, saith My Lord Yahweh, Even yet—for this, will I be prevailed upon by the house of Israel to work for them, — I will multiply them-Like a flock—with men:
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 Like a flock of holy offerings Like 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 Yahweh.
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.
