Ezekiel 34
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 “You human, prophesy about [leaders] of Israel. [They should be taking care of my people like] [MET] shepherds [take care of their sheep]. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you leaders [MET] of Israel who only take care of yourselves! You should certainly [RHQ] take care of [your people like] [MET] a shepherd takes care of his flock of sheep!
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e wanana ku e aku oe i na kahuhipa a ka Iseraela, e wanana hoi, a e olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku i ua kahuhipa, penei; Auwe na kahuhipa o ka Iseraela, na mea e hanai ana ia lakou iho! aole anei he pono ke hanai na kahuhipa i ka ohana?
3 [It is as though] you eat the curds, you slaughter the very good animals and wear clothes made from their wool. But you do not take care of the flock.
Ke ai nei oukou i ka momona, a ke hoaahu nei oukou ia oukou iho me ka huluhulu, a ua pepehi oukou i na mea kupaluia; aka, aole oukou i hanai i ka ohana.
4 You have not enabled those who are weak to become strong. You have not healed those who were sick. You have not bandaged those who were wounded/injured. You have not brought back those who went astray. You have not searched for those who became lost. You have ruled your people harshly and cruelly.
Aole oukou i hooikaika i ka mea nawaliwali, aole hoi oukou i lapaau i ka mea mai, aole hoi oukou i wahi i ka mea hai, aole hoi oukou i hoihoi mai i ka mea i kipakuia'ku, aole hoi oukou i imi i ka mea nalowale; aka, me ka lalau wale, a me ke aloha ole i hoalii ai, oukou maluna o lakou.
5 So they were scattered, because you did not [take care of them like] [MET] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep]. And when they were scattered, [it was as though] wild animals attacked and [killed them and ate] their flesh.
A ua hele liilii lakou no ke kahuhipa ole; a ua lilo lakou i ai na na holoholona a pau o ke kula, i ko lakou hoopuehuia'ku.
6 My people wandered like sheep all over the high hills and mountains. They were scattered all over the earth, and no one searched for them [DOU].
Ua auwana ka'u mau hipa maluna o na mauna a pau, a maluna hoi o kela puu keia puu kiekie; oia, ua hoopuehuia ko'u ohana ma ka ili o ka honua a pau. aohe mea huli, aohe mea imi aku ia lakou.
7 Therefore, you [who should be acting like] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord say:
Nolaila, e na kahuhipa, e hoolohe i ka olelo a Iehova;
8 As surely as I am alive, my people [are like a flock of sheep that has] no shepherd, and as a result [it is as though] wild animals have attacked my people and eaten them. You did not search for them; instead, you only wanted to provide food for yourselves.
Ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, oiaio, no ka lilo ana o ka'u ohana i waiwai pio, a no ka lilo ana o ka'u ohana i ai na ua holoholona a pau o ke kula, no ke kahuhipa ole, aole hoi i imi kuu mau kahuhipa i ka'u ohana, aka, ua hanai na kahuhipa ia lakou iho, aole hoi i hanai i ka'u ohana;
9 Therefore, you [who should be like] [MET] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh say:
Nolaila, e na kahuhipa, e hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova;
10 I am opposed to [you leaders who should be like] [MET] shepherds for my people. I will remove you from taking care of my people, with the result that you will no longer feed yourselves [instead of feeding them]. I will rescue my people from you, with the result that you will longer be able to [butcher them and] eat them.
Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, Eia hoi, ke ku o nei au i na kahuhipa; a e kii aku au i ka'u ohana ma ko lakou lima, a e hooki au i ko lakou hanai aua i ka ohana, aole hoi e hanai hou aku na kahuhipa ia lakou iho: no ka mea, e hoopakele au i ka'u ohaua i ko lakou waha, i ole lakou e lilo i ai na lakou.
11 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you leaders: I myself will search for my sheep and take care of them.
No ka mea, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Eia hoi, owau, e imi no wau i ka'u mau hipa, a huli hoi ia lakou.
12 Like a shepherd finds his scattered sheep, I will rescue my people from all the places to which they have been scattered, at a time when things were very gloomy and they experienced disasters.
Me ke kahuhipa i imi ai i kana ohana i ka la i noho ai ia iwaena konu o kana poe hipa, i hele liilii; pela e imi aku ai au i ka'u poe hipa, a e hoihoi mai ia lakou, mai loko mai o na wahi a pau i hoopuehuia'i lakou, i ka la paapu i na ao a me ka pouli.
13 I will bring them back from many countries and gather them together again in their own land. [Because my people are like sheep] [MET], [it is as though] I will enable them to find good pastureland on the hills of Israel, and in the ravines, and in the villages of Israel.
A e lawe mai au ia lakou mai na lahuikanaka mai, a e houluulu ia lakou ma na aina mai, a e lawe mai ia lakou i ko lakou aina iho, a e hanai au ia lakou maluna o na mauna o ka Iseraela, ma na muliwai hoi a ma na wahi i nohoia a pau o ka aina.
14 [It is as though] I will allow them to graze in good pastures on the mountaintops. They will lie down in good (grazing areas/grassy fields) there [DOU].
Ma ka aina maikai e hanai aku ai au ia lakou, a maluna o na mauna kiekie o ka Iseraela auanei ko lakou pa; malaila lakou e moe ai iloko o ka pahipa maikai, a ma ka aina momona e ai ai lakou maluna o na mauna o ka Iseraela.
15 I myself will take care of my people and enable them to lie down and rest.
E hanai aku au i ka'u ohana, a e hoomoe iho au ia lakou ilalo, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
16 I will search for those who are lost and bring back the ones who have strayed away. I will bandage those who have been injured and strengthen those who are weak. But I will get rid of those who are fat and powerful. I will act fairly toward [the people who are like] [MET] my sheep. That is what I, Yahweh, promise.
E imi aku au i ka mea i nalowale, a e hoihoi mai i ka mea i kipakuia'ku, a e wahi aku au i ka mea i hai, a e hooikaika au i ka ka, mea mai; aka, e luku au i ka mea momona a me ka ikaika, a e hanai aku au ia lakou me ka hoopai ana.
17 And as for you who are like [MET] my sheep, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will judge between each of you; and I will separate [those that are peaceful like] sheep from [those that are always trying to dominate others like] goats.
A o oukou, e ka'u ohana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, ke hooponopouo nei au iwaena o ka holoholona a me ka holoholona, mawaena hoi o na hipa kane, a me na kao kane.
18 It is bad that [RHQ] some of you keep the best pastures for yourselves. It is even worse that [RHQ] you trample the good grass with your feet. You yourselves drink the clear water [RHQ]. But with your feet you cause the other water to become muddy [RHQ].
Ho mea uuku anei ia oukou, ka oukou ai ana i ka ai maikai, a ua hehi iho oukou i ke koena o ka oukou ai me ko oukou mau wawae? a o ko oukou inu ana i ka wai maikai, a hoolepo hoi i ke koena me ko oukou mau wawae?
19 [It is as though] you [RHQ] are forcing my flock to eat the grass that you have trampled and to drink the water that you have caused to become muddy!
A o ka'u ohana, ua ai lakou i ka mea a oukou i hehi ai me ko oukou mau wawae; a ua inu lakou i ka mea a oukou i hoolepo ai me ko oukou mau wawae.
20 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: I myself will judge between [those of you who are like] [MET] the fat sheep and [those of you who are like] the thin sheep.
Nolaila ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku ia lakou, Aia hoi, e hooponopono aku au iwaena o na hipa momona a me na hipa wiwi.
21 [who are like] strong sheep, [it is as though] with your shoulders and buttocks you have shoved away [those who are like] thin sheep, and you have butted them with your horns, until you have chased them all away [from the good pastureland].
No ka mea, ua hooke aku oukou me ka aoao a me ka pohiwi, a ua hou oukou me ko oukou mau pepeiaohao i na mea mai, a hoopuehu aku oukou ia lakou.
22 But I will rescue my people, and they no longer will be (harassed/treated cruelly). I will judge between one person and another.
Nolaila, e hoola au i ka'u ohaua, aole loa aku lakou he waiwai pio; a e hooponopono hoi au iwaena o ka hipa a me ka hipa.
23 And I will appoint one leader [MET] for them, [someone who will be like] King David, who served me [very well]. That leader will take care of them and be like their shepherd.
A e hoonoho aku au i ke kahuhipa hookahi maluna o lakou, a e hanai oia ia lakou, o ka'u kauwa, o Davida, e hanai oia ia lakou, a oia auanei ko Iakou kahuhipa.
24 I, Yahweh, will be their God, and [the one who is like] [MET] King David will be their king. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
A owau, o Iehova auanei ke Akua no lakou, a o ka'u kauwa o Davida ke alii iwaena o lakou; na'u na Iehova i olelo aku.
25 I will make a peace agreement with the people of Israel. In this agreement I will promise to get rid of all the wild animals in Israel, in order that my people may live safely, even in the desert and in the forests.
A e hana au i berita hoomalu me lakou, a e hooki aku au i na holoholona ino mai loko aku o ka aina; a e noho maluhia lakou ma ka waonahele, a e moe hoi maloko o na ululaau.
26 I will bless them, and I will bless the places close to my sacred hill. I will bless them by sending them rain showers at the right season; they will be showers to bless them.
A e hoolilo au ia lakou, a me na wahi e hoopuni ana i kuu puu e hoomaikai ana; a e hoohaule au i ka ua i kona manawa, a he mau ua auanei o ka hoomaikai ana.
27 The fruit trees will produce fruit and the ground will produce crops. And my people will live safely in their land. When I rescue them from people who caused them to be slaves [MET, DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
A e hoohua mai ka laau o ke kula i koua hua, a e haawi mai ka honua i kona mea ulu, a e noho maluhia lakou ma ko lakou aina, a e ike hoi owau no Iehova, aia moku ia'u ua kaula o ka lakou auamo, a hoopakele ae ia lakou mai loko ae o ka lima o ka poe i hookauwa ia lakou na lakou iho.
28 [Soldiers from] other nations will no longer take away their valuable possessions, and wild animals will no longer attack them. They will live safely, and no one will cause them to be afraid.
Aole loa aku lakou he waiwai pio no na lahuikanaka, aole hoi e ai na holoholona o ka aina ia lakou; aka, e noho maluhia lakou, aohe mea nana lakou e hooweliweli.
29 I will cause their land to be famous/well-known for its good crops. There will no longer be famines in the land, and people in other nations will no longer ridicule them.
E hooku ae au iluna i ka mea kanu i kaulana no lakou, aole no hoi lakou e pau e i ka pololi ma ka aina, aole e hilahila hou i ka hoinoia e na lahuikanaka.
30 Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am helping them, and they will know that they, the Israeli people, are my people.
Pela e ike ai lakou owau o Iehova ko lakou Akua kekahi pu me lakou, a o lakou, o ka ohana a Iseraela, ko'u poe kanaka, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
31 [It will be as though] [MET] my people are my sheep whom I will take care of, and I will be their God. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.’”
A o oukou, kuu ohana, ka okana o kuu aina, he poe kanaka; a owau ko oukou Akua, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
