< Ezekiel 11 >

1 [Then God’s] Spirit lifted me up and took me to the gate on the east side of the temple area. There at the gate were 25 men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.
A KAIKAI iho la ka uhane ia'u, a lawe ia'u i ka pukapa hikina o ko Iehova hale e nana ana ma ka hikina; aia hoi, ma ke pani o ka pukapa he iwakaluakumamalima kanaka, a iwaena o lakou ike aku la au ia Iaazania ke keiki a Azura, a me Pelatia ke keiki a Benaia, na'lii o na kanaka.
2 Yahweh said to me, “You human, these are the [new leaders in Jerusalem] who are planning to do evil things and who are giving wicked advice [to people] in this city.
Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, eia na kanaka i kukakuka i ka mea ino, a haawi hoi i ka oleloao hewa iloko o keia kulanakauhale:
3 They say, ‘[Everything will go well for us, so] it will surely soon be [RHQ] time to build houses. [We are like] [MET] fine/choice pieces of meat that are carefully stored in covered pots, and we are protected [from the bad things that will happen to others].’
Na mea olelo, Aole kokoke mai, e kukulu kakou i na hale: eia ka ipuhao nui, a o kakou ka io.
4 So, you human, prophesy [the terrible things that will happen to] them.”
Nolaila o wanana ku e ia lakou, e wanana, e ke keiki a ke kanaka.
5 Then the Spirit of Yahweh came upon me and told me to [to the people], “This is what Yahweh says: You Israeli people [MTY] are saying those things, but I know what you are thinking.
A haule mai la ka Uhane o Iehova, a olelo mai la ia'u, E olelo oe, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei; Ua olelo oukou pela, e ka ohana a Iseraela: no ka mea, ua ike au i na mea a pau i komo iloko o ko oukou naau.
6 You have killed many people in this city and filled the streets with their corpses.
Ua hoonui oukou i ko oukou poe i hoomakeia iloko o keia kulanakauhale, a ua hoopiha oukou i kona mau alanui me na mea i make i ka pepohiia.
7 Therefore this is what Yahweh the Lord says: The corpses of the people whom you have killed here are [like] the meat [MET], and this city is [like] the pot [MET], but I will expel you from this city.
Nolaila ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, O ko oukou poe i make i ka pepehiia a oukou i hoomoe iho ai iwaenakonu ona, o lakou ka io, a o keia ka ipuhao nui; aka, e lawe ae au ia oukou iwaho, mai waenakonu ae ona.
8 You are afraid [being killed by enemies’] swords, and that is what I will cause to happen to you.
O ka pahikaua ka oukou i makau ai; a o ka pahikaua ka'u e hooili ai maluna o oukou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
9 I will expel you from this city and enable foreigners to capture you and punish you.
A e lawe ae au ia oukou mai waenakonu ae ona, a e haawi ia oukou i na lima o na malihini, a e hana au ma ka hoopai ana iwaena o oukou.
10 They will kill [EUP] you with their swords; you will be punished [right here] in Israel. Then people will realize that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
A e haulo oukou i ka pahikaua; e hoopai au ia oukou ma ka palena o ka Iseraela; a e ike no oukou owau no Iehova.
11 This city will not be [a place were you will be protected like] [MET] meat in a covered pot. I will punish you wherever you are in Israel.
Aole e lilo keia i ipuhao nui no oukou, aole hoi oukou ka io iwaenakonu ona; aka, ma ka palena o ka Iseraela e hoopai aku ai au ia oukou.
12 And you will know that I, Yahweh, [have predicted that would happen], because you have not obeyed my commands and decrees; instead, you have imitated [wicked] behavior [of the people] of the nearby nations.”
A e ike oukou owau no Iehova; e ka poe hele ole ma ko'u mau kanawai, aole hana i ka'u mau oihana, aka, ua hana oukou mamuli o na oihana a na lahuikanaka e hoopuni ana ia oukou.
13 While I was prophesying that, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah [suddenly] died. Then I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out loudly, “Yahweh my Lord, are you going [similarly] get rid of all the Israeli people who are still alive?”
Eia kekahi, i kuu wanana ana, make iho la o Pelatia ke keiki a Benaia. Alaila moe iho au ilalo ke alo, a kahea aku la me ka leo nui, i aku la, Auwe, e Iehova ka Haku e! e hoopau io anei oe i ke koena o ka Iseraela?
14 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
15 “You human, the people who are still in Jerusalem are talking about you and your own relatives and about all the other people who were (exiled/forced to go to other countries), saying, ‘They [in Babylonia], far from Yahweh. They have left their [here in Israel, so] their property now belongs to us!’”
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, o kou poe hoahanau, o kou poe hoahanau, o na kanaka hanauna on, a me ka ohana okoa o ka Iseraela, o lakou ka poe a ko Ierusalema i kauoha aku ai, E hoomamao loa aku oukou ia Iehova; no ka mea, ua haawiia mai keia aina no makou i waiwai ili.
16 So tell [them], “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Although I caused them to be taken far [from Israel] and scattered them among other nations, for a short time I will (be like a refuge for/protect) them in the countries to which they have been taken.”
Nolaila e olelo oe, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; I kipaku hoi au ia lakou i kahi loihi aku mawaena o na lahuikanaka, a i hoopuehu hoi au ia lakou iwaena o na aina, e lilo no nae au i wahi keenakapu iki no lakou, i na aina e hiki ai lakou.
17 So also tell them, “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [Some day] I will gather you from the [to which you have been taken] and bring you back to Israel, and you will live in your country/land [again].
Nolaila e olelo aku oe, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, E houluulu au ia oukou mai waena mai o na kanaka, a e hoakoakoa ia oukou mai loko mai o na aina i puehuia'i oukou, a e haawi aku au i ka aina o ka Iseraela ia oukou.
18 When you return to your country, you will get rid of all the vile statues of gods and detestable idols.
A e hele mai no lakou ilaila, a e lawe aku lakou i na mea i hoowahawahaia a pau ona, a me na mea i inainaia a pau ona mai laila aku.
19 I will put a new way of thinking [IDM] within you. I will cause you to no longer be stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me completely [IDM].
A e haawi aku au ia lakou i ka naau hookahi, e haawi hoi au i uhane hou iloko o oukou, a e lawe aku au i ka naau pohaku mailoko aku o ka lakou io, a e haawi aku au i ka naau io ia lakou;
20 When I do that, you will carefully obey all my laws [DOU]. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
I hele lakou ma ko'u mau kanawai, a e malama hoi i ka'u mau oihana, a e hana hoi ia mau mea; a e lilo lakou i kanaka no'u, a owau hoi i Akua no lakou.
21 But as for those who are devoted [worshiping] their vile statues and detestable idols, I will punish them as they deserve for the evil things that they have done.’”
Aka, o ka poe i hele ko lakou naau mamuli o ka naau o ko lakou mau mea i hoowahawahaia, a me ko lakou mau mea inainaia, e uku aku au i ko lakou aoao maluna o ko lakou poo iho, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
22 Then the winged creatures, with their wheels beside them, spread their [and flew up into the air], and the dazzling brightness of Yahweh was above them.
Alaila hapai ae la na keruba i ko lakou mau eheu, a me na huila ma ko lakou mau aoao; aia maluna o lakou ka nani o ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
23 That light went up away from the city and stopped above the mountain to the east of the city.
A pii ae la ka nani o Iehova mai waenakonu aku o ke kulanakauhale, a kau ma ka mauna ma ka aoao hikina o ke kulanakauhale.
24 In the vision [that I had been seeing, God’s] Spirit lifted me up and brought me [back] to the (exiles in/people who had been forced to go to) Babylonia. Then the vision ended,
A mahope iho kaikai ae la ka uhane, a lawe ia'u iloko o ka hihio ma ka Uhane o ke Akua i Kaledea i ka poe pio. A pii ae la ka hihio a'u i ike aku ai mai o'u aku la.
25 and I told the exiles everything that Yahweh had shown [in the vision].
Alaila olelo aku au i ka poe pio i na mea a pau a Iehova i hoike mai ai ia'u.
