Ezekiel 8
1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, [as] I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.
Na i te ono o nga tau, i te ono o nga marama, i te rima o nga ra o te marama, e noho ana ahau i roto i toku whare, me te noho ano nga kaumatua o Hura i toku aroaro, na ka tau iho te ringa o te Ariki, o Ihowa, ki runga ki ahau i reira.
2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of amber.
Na ka titiro atu ahau, nana, ko tetahi ahua me te mea he ahi ki te titiro atu; i tona hope a whakararo, he ahi ki te titiro atu; i tona hope ano a whakarunga, he wherikotanga ki te titiro atu, he mea rite te kara ki to te amipere.
3 And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh towards the north; where [was] the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
Na ka totoro mai te ahua o te ringa, a hopukia ana ahau e ia i tetahi o nga makawe o toku matenga: katahi ahau ka hapainga atu e te wairua ki waenganui o te whenua, o te rangi, a kawea ana ahau e ia ki Hiruharama, he whakakitenga hoki na te Atua, ki te kuwaha o te keti o to roto marae e anga ana ki te raki; kei reira nei te nohoanga o te whakapakoko o te hae, e puta ai te hae.
4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
Na i reira ano te kororia o te Atua o Iharaira, he pera me te kitenga i kitea e ahau ki te mania.
5 Then said he to me, Son of man, lift up thy eyes now the way towards the north. So I lifted up my eyes the way towards the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
Katahi ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, tena ra, anga atu ou kanohi ra te ara ki te raki. Heoi ka anga oku kanohi ra te ara ki te raki, nana, i te taha ki te raki, i te kuwaha o te aata, ko tenei whakapakoko o te hae i te tomokanga atu.
6 He said furthermore to me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? [even] the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should withdraw from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations.
A ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ka kite ranei koe i ta ratou e mea nei? ara i nga mea whakarihariha nui e mahia nei e te whare o Iharaira ki konei, e matara ai ahau i toku wahi tapu? otiia tera koe e kite ano i etahi atu mea whakarih ariha nunui.
7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
Na ka kawea ahau e ia ki te kuwaha o te marae; a, no taku tirohanga atu, nana, ko tetahi puta i te taiepa.
8 Then said he to me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, tena, keria te taiepa; a, i taku keringa i te taiepa, na ko tetahi kuwaha.
9 And he said to me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
A ka mea tera ki ahau, Haere ki roto, kia kite ai koe i nga mea whakarihariha, i nga mea kino e mahia nei e ratou ki konei.
10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping animals, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around upon the wall.
Heoi haere ana ahau ki roto, a ka kite; na, ko nga ahua katoa o nga mea ngokingoki, o nga kararehe whakarihariha, me nga whakapakoko katoa o te whare o Iharaira, he mea tuhituhi ki te taha o te whare a taka noa, taka noa.
11 And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
A i o ratou aroaro e tu ana e whitu tekau nga tangata, no nga kaumatua o te whare o Iharaira, a i waenganui o ratou e tu ana ko Iaatania tama a Hapana, he tahu whakakakara i te ringa o tenei, o tenei; a i kake whakarunga te kakara o te kapua o t e whakakakara.
12 Then said he to me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, Kua kite ranei koe, e te tama a te tangata, i ta nga kaumatua o te whare o Iharaira e mea nei i te pouri, ia tangata, ia tangata, i ona whare whakaahua? e ki ana hoki ratou, E kore a Ihowa e kite i a tatou; kua mahue te whenua i a Ihowa.
13 He said also to me, Turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Tera koe e kite ano i etahi atu mea whakarihariha nunui e mahia ana e ratou.
14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which [was] towards the north; and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki te kuwaha o te keti o te whare o Ihowa, e anga ana whaka te raki; na ko nga wahine e noho ana i reira, e tangi ana ki a Tamutu.
15 Then said he to me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, Ka kite ranei koe i tenei, e te tama a te tangata? Tera koe e kite ano i etahi mea whakarihariha nunui atu i enei.
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, [were] about five and twenty men, with their backs towards the temple of the LORD, and their faces towards the east; and they worshiped the sun towards the east.
Na ka kawea ahau e ia ki to roto marae o te whare o Ihowa; nana, i te kuwaha o te temepara o Ihowa, i te takiwa o te whakamahau, o te aata, ko etahi tangata, ki te whakaaro iho e rua tekau ma rima, ko o ratou tuara e anga ana ki te temepara o Ih owa, ko o ratou mata ki te rawhiti; e koropiko ana ratou ki te ra whaka te rawhiti.
17 Then he said to me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and lo, they put the branch to their nose.
Katahi ka mea ia ki ahau, Ka kite ranei koe i tenei, e te tama a te tangata? He mea mama noa ake ianei tenei ki te whare o Hura kia mahia e ratou nga mea whakarihariha e mahia nei e ratou ki konei? na ratou hoki i kapi ai te whenua i te tutu, a hoki mai ana ratou ki te whakapataritari i ahau: nana, kei te whakapa ano ratou i te manga ki to ratou ihu.
18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, [yet] I will not hear them.
Na ka mahi ano ahau i runga i te weriweri; e kore toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ano ahau e tohu; ahakoa nui to ratou reo e karanga ai ki oku taringa, e kore ahau e rongo ki a ratou.
