Ezekiel 17
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 'Son of man, put forth a riddle, and use a simile unto the house of Israel,
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e nane aku oe i ka nane, a e olelo nane i ka ohana a Iseraela.
3 and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The great eagle, great-winged, long-pinioned, Full of feathers, that hath diverse colours, Hath come in unto Lebanon, And it taketh the foliage of the cedar,
A e olelo aku hoi ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; He aeto nui, me na eheu nui loa, paapu i na hulu, onionio, hele mai ia i Lebanona, a lawe oia i ka lala kiekie loa o ka laau kedera.
4 The top of its tender twigs it hath cropped, And it bringeth it in to the land of Canaan. In a city of merchants it hath placed it.
Ako ae la oia i ka welau o kona mau lala opiopio, a hali ae la ia i ka aina kalepa, hoonoho hoi ia i ke kulanakauhale o ka poe kalepa;
5 And it taketh of the seed of the land, And doth put it in a field of seed, To take by many waters, In a conspicuous place it hath set it.
Lawe hoi oia i hua o ka aina, a kanu hoi ma ka mala hua nui; waiho iho la oia ia ma ka pili wai nui, hoonoho iho la ia me he laau wilou la.
6 And it springeth up, and becometh a spreading vine, humble of stature, To turn its thin shoots toward itself, And its roots are under it, And it becometh a vine, and maketh boughs, And sendeth forth beauteous branches.
A ulu hoi ia a lilo ia i kumu waina palahalaha, he kino haahaa, huli ae ia kona mau lala mamuli ona, a malalo iho ona kona mau aa: a pela i lilo ia i kumu waina, a manamana ae la na lala, a opuu ae la na manamana.
7 And there is another great eagle, Great-winged, and abounding with feathers, And lo, this vine hath bent its roots toward him, And its thin shoots it hath sent out toward him, To water it from the furrows of its planting,
Aia hoi kekahi aeto nui me na eheu nui a me na hulu lehulehu; aia hoi, hoololi ae la keia kumu waina i kona mau aa io na la, a hoopuka ae la i kona mau lala io na la i hoopulu oia ia ia ma na kaha o kona mala.
8 On a good field, by many waters, it is planted, To make branches, and to bear fruit, To be for an goodly vine.
Ua kanuia ma ka lepo maikai ma na wai nui; i haawi mai ai ia i na lala, a i hoohua mai ai i ka hua; a i lilo ai ia i kumu waina maikai.
9 Say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It prospereth — its roots doth he not draw out, And its fruit cut off, and it is withered? [In] all the leaves of its springing it withereth, And not by great strength, and by a numerous people, To lift it up by its roots.
E olelo oe, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku; E pomaikai anei? Aole anei e uhuki oia i kona mau aa, a e oki aku i kona mau hua, i mae iho ai ia? E mae auanei no ia ma na lau a pau o kona ulu ana'e, aole me ka mana nui, aole hoi me kanaka he nui e uhuki ai ia me na aa ona.
10 And lo, the planted thing — doth it prosper? When come against it doth the east wind, Doth it not utterly wither? On the furrows of its springing it withereth.'
Aia hoi, i kanuia, e pomaikai anei ia? Aole anei ia e mae loa, i ka wa e pa mai ai ka makani hikina ia ia? E mae no ia iloko o na kaha i ulu ai ia.
11 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Hiki mai la no hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
12 'Say, I pray thee, to the rebellious house, Have ye not known what these [are]? Say, Lo, come hath the king of Babylon to Jerusalem, And he taketh its king, and its princes, And bringeth them to himself to Babylon.
E olelo, ano, i ka ohana kipi, Aole anei oukou i ike i ke ano o keia mau mea? E olelo aku hoi, Eia hoi, ua hiki mai ke alii o Babulona i Ierusalema, a ua lawe oia i kona alii a me na'lii ona, a ua alakai ia lakou me ia i Babulona;
13 And he taketh of the seed of the kingdom, And maketh with him a covenant, And bringeth him in to an oath, And the mighty of the land he hath taken,
A ua lawe oia i kekahi o ka poe keiki alii, a kuikahi pu ae la oia me ia; a ua lawe oia i kona hoohiki ana ma ke kuikahi; ua lawe aku hoi oia i ka poe ikaika o ka aina;
14 That the kingdom may be humble, That it may not lift itself up, To keep his covenant — that it may stand.
I haahaa ai ke aupuni, aole hoi e hiki ke ea'e iluna, aka, ma kona malama ana i kona kuikahi e mau ai ia.
15 And he rebelleth against him, To send his messengers to Egypt, To give to him horses, and much people, Doth he prosper? doth he escape who is doing these things? And hath he broken covenant and escaped?
Ua kipi nae oia ia ia i kona hoouna ana i na elele i Aigupita, i haawi mai lakou i na lio, a i kanaka he nui no. E pomaikai anei oia? E pakele anei ka mea hana ia mau mea? A, e uhai paha oia i ke kuikahi a e hoopakeleia anei?
16 I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Doth he not — in the place of the king who is causing him to reign, Whose oath he hath despised, And whose covenant he hath broken, With him — in the midst of Babylon — die?
Ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, he oiaio, ma kahi o ke alii ka mea i hoolilo ia ia i alii, ka mea nona ka hoohiki ana ana i hoowahawaha ai, a o kona berita hoi kana i uhai aku ai, me ia mawaenakonu o Babulona e make ai ia.
17 And not with a great force, and with a numerous assembly, Doth Pharaoh maintain him in battle, By pouring out a mount, and in building a fortification, To cut off many souls.
Aole hoi o Parao me kona poe kaua mana, a me kona anaina nui e kokua ia ia i ke kaua, ma ka hana ana i na puu, a me na pakaua, e oki aku ai i na kanaka he nui;
18 And he despised the oath — to break covenant, And lo, he hath given his hand, And all these he hath done, he escapeth not.
I kona hoowahawaha ana i ka hoohiki ana, ma ka uhai ana i ke kuikahi, i ka wa i haawi ai oia i kona lima, a ua hana hoi oia i keia mau mea a pau, aole ia e pakele.
19 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I live — Mine oath that he hath despised, And My covenant that he hath broken, Have I not put it on his head?
Nolaila ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Ma ko'u ola ana, oiaio, o ka hoohiki ana no'u, ana i hoowahawaha ai, a me ko'u kuikahi ana i uhai aku ai, oia ka'u e hoopai ai maluna o kona poo.
20 And I have spread out for him My snare, And he hath been caught in My net, And I have brought him in to Babylon, And pleaded with him there his trespass, That he hath trespassed against Me.
A e hohola au i ka'u upena maluna ona, a e hei oia i ka'u pahele; a e lawe au ia ia ma Babulona, a e hakaka au me ia ilaila, no kona hewa ana i hana hewa mai ai ia'u.
21 And all his fugitives, with all his bands, By sword do fall, and those remaining, To every wind they are spread out, And ye have known that I, Jehovah, have spoken.
A e pau kona poe auhee me ka puali ona i ka haule i ka pahikaua, a o ka poe koe, e hele liilii lakou i kela makani keia makani; a e ike oukou na'u na Iehova i olelo aku.
22 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have taken of the foliage of the high cedar, And I have set [it], From the top of its tender shoots a tender one I crop, And I — I have planted [it] on a mountain high and lofty.
Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku penei; Owau no kekahi e lawe i ko ka lala kiekie loa o ka laau kedera kiekie, a e hoonoho iho au ia mea; e ako hoi au mai luna mai o kona mau lala opiopio i kekahi mea palupalu, a e kanu au ia mea maluna o ka mauna kiekie i hookiekieia.
23 In a mountain — the high place of Israel, I plant it, And it hath borne boughs, and yielded fruit, And become a goodly cedar, And dwelt under it have all birds of every wing, In the shade of its thin shoots they dwell.
Ma ka mauna kiekie o ka Iseraela e kanu iho ai au ia, a e haawi mai ia i na lala a me ka hua, a e lilo ia i kumu kedera maikai; a malalo iho ona e noho ai na manu a pau ma kela eheu keia eheu: ma ka mala o kona mau lala e noho iho ai lakou.
24 And known have all trees of the field That I, Jehovah, have made low the high tree, I have set on high the low tree, I have dried up the moist tree, And I have caused the dry tree to flourish, I, Jehovah, have spoken, and have done [it]!'
A e ike na laau a pau o ka aina, na'u na Iehova i hoohaahaa i ka laau kiekie, a i hookiekie hoi i ka laau haahaa, a i hoomaloo i ka laau uliuli, a i hooulu ae i ka laau maloo: na'u na Iehova i olelo, a i hana aku hoi.
