< Ezekiel 23 >
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Son of man,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
2 Two women were daughters of one mother,
E te tama a te tangata, tokorua nga wahine i mua, he tamahine na te whaea kotahi.
3 And they go a-whoring in Egypt, In their youth they have gone a-whoring, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
Heoi moepuku ana ki Ihipa; moepuku ana i to raua tamarikitanga: i romia o raua u ki reira, i mirimiria ki reira nga matamata o to raua wahinetanga.
4 And their names [are] Aholah the elder, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As to their names — Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
Na, ko o raua ingoa, ko Ohora to te tuakana, ko Ohoripa to te teina: a i riro raua i ahau, i whanau hoki he tama, he tamahine ma raua. Na, mo o raua ingoa, ko Hamaria a Ohora, ko Hiruharama a Ohoripa.
5 And go a-whoring doth Aholah under Me, And she doteth on her lovers, On the neighbouring Assyrians,
Na, kua kairau a Ohora i te mea i ahau ano ia, minamina atu ana ki ana i aroha ai, ki ona hoa tata, ki nga Ahiriana,
6 Clothed with blue — governors and prefects, Desirable young men all of them, Horsemen, riding on horses,
He puru nei o ratou kakahu, he ariki, he kawana, he taitamariki, e minaminatia ratou katoa, he tangata hoiho, e eke ana ki te hoiho.
7 And she giveth her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them — even all on whom she doted, By all their idols she hath been defiled.
Heoi kei te mahi kairau ia ki a ratou, ki nga tangata papai rawa o nga tama o Ahiria, ki a ratou katoa; a ahakoa ko wai i minaminatia e ia, whakapoke ana ia i a ia ano ki a ratou whakapakoko katoa.
8 And her whoredoms out of Egypt she hath not forsaken, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
Kihai ano i mahue i a ia ana moepuku mai o nga ra o Ihipa; i takoto hoki ratou ki a ia i tona tamarikitanga, a mirimiria ana e ratou nga matamata o tona wahinetanga, ringihia ana e ratou a ratou moepuku ki runga ki a ia.
9 Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she doted.
Na reira ia i tukua ai e ahau ki te ringa o te hunga i arohaina e ia, ki te ringa o nga tamariki o Ahiria, o ana i minamina ai.
10 They have uncovered her nakedness, Her sons and her daughters they have taken, And her by sword they have slain, And she is a name for women, And judgments they have done with her.
A hurahia ana ia e ratou kia noho tahanga; tangohia ana e ratou ana tama, ana tamahine, patua iho ia e ratou ki te hoari; a whai ingoa ana ia i roto i nga wahine; i mahia hoki e ratou he whakawa ki a ia.
11 And see doth her sister Aholibah, And she maketh her doting love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
A ka kite tona teina, a Ohoripa, i tenei, otiia i nui atu te kino o tona minamina i to tera, ona moepuku hoki i nui atu i o tona tuakana.
12 On sons of Asshur she hath doted, Governors and prefects, Neighbouring ones — clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, Desirable young men all of them.
Minamina ana ia ki nga Ahiriana, ki ona hoa tata, ki nga ariki, ki nga kawana, he pai rawa nei nga kakahu, he tangata hoiho e eke ana ki te hoiho, ko ratou katoa he tamariki e minaminatia.
13 And I see that she hath been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
Na ka kite ahau kua poke ia, kotahi tonu te ara o raua tokorua.
14 And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead,
Kua neke ake ano ona moepuku: i kite hoki ia i nga tangata kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pakitara, i nga whakaahua o nga Karari, he mea tuhituhi ki te whero pai,
15 Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers — all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
He mea whitiki o ratou hope ki te whitiki, o ratou mahunga mea rawa ki te kakahu kua oti te rongoa, he rangatira katoa ki te titiro; ko te ahua kei to nga tama o Papurona, o Karari, o te whenua i whanau ai ratou:
16 And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And sendeth messengers to them, to Chaldea.
A, no te kitenga o ona kanohi i a ratou, minamina tonu ki a ratou, tukua ana e ia he karere ki a ratou, ki Karari.
17 And come in unto her do sons of Babylon, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.
Na ka haere mai ki a ia o nga tamariki o Papurona ki te moenga aroha, whakapokea ana ia e ratou ki a ratou moepuku: heoi ka whakapokea nei e ratou, na ngakaukore noa iho ia ki a ratou.
18 And she revealeth her whoredoms, And she revealeth her nakedness, And alienated is My soul from off her, As alienated was My soul from off her sister.
Heoi ka whakakitea e ia ona moepuku, ka whakakitea ano ia e noho tahanga ana: na ngakaukore noa iho ahau ki a ia, pera tonu me ahau i ngakaukore ra ki tona tuakana.
19 And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went a-whoring in the land of Egypt.
Heoi whakanuia ana e ia ona moepuku, me te mahara ano ia ki nga ra o tona tamarikitanga i a ia i kairau ra ki te whenua o Ihipa.
20 And she doteth on their paramours, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of asses, And the issue of horses — their issue.
I minamina hoki ia ki o ratou hoa moepuku, he kikokiko kaihe nei o ratou kikokiko; a, ko te mea e tarere mai ana i roto i a ratou rite tonu ki te mea e tarere mai ana i roto i te hoiho.
21 Thou lookest after the wickedness of thy youth, In dealing out of Egypt thy loves, For the sake of the breasts of thy youth.
Na kua hokia nei e koe nga he o tou tamarikitanga i nga matamata o ou u i mirimiria ra e nga Ihipiana, he meatanga ki nga u o tou tamarikitanga.
22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up thy lovers against thee, From whom thy soul hath been alienated, And have brought them in against thee from round about.
Mo reira, e Ohoripa, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana, ka ara i ahau ou hoa aroha hei hoariri mou, era kua ngakaukore na koe ki a ratou, ka kawea mai ano ratou e ahau ki a koe ki nga taha katoa;
23 Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them — rulers and proclaimed ones, Riding on horses, all of them.
Ko nga tangata o Papurona, ratou ko nga Karari katoa, a Pekoro, a Hoa, a Koa, ratou ko nga Ahiriana katoa: he taitamariki ratou katoa e minaminatia, he ariki, he kawana, he rangatira, he rongo nui, he eke hoiho katoa.
24 And they have come in against thee, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Target, and shield, and helmet, They do set against thee round about, And I have set before them judgment, They have judged thee in their Judgments.
A ka haere mai ratou ki te whawhai ki a koe, me nga mea mo te whawhai, he hariata ano o ratou, he kata, he whakaminenga iwi; rite rawa i a ratou te puapua, te whakangungu rakau, te potae, hei whawhai ki a koe i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha: ka tuk ua ano e ahau te whakawa ki to ratou aroaro, a ka rite ki a ratou whakaritenga ta ratou whakarite mou.
25 And I have set My jealousy against thee, And they have dealt with thee in fury, Thy nose and thine ears they turn aside, And thy posterity by sword falleth, They, thy sons and thy daughters do take away, And thy posterity is devoured by fire.
Ka whakataua ano e ahau toku hae ki a koe, a ka mahi weriweri ratou ki a koe: ka riro ano tou ihu i a ratou, me ou taringa; ka hinga ano hoki ou morehu i te hoari: ka tangohia atu e ratou au tama me au tamahine; ka pau ano ou morehu i te ahi.
26 And they have stripped thee of thy garments, And have taken thy beauteous jewels.
Ka huia atu ano e ratou ou kakahu, ka tangohia ano ou mea ataahua.
27 And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again.
Heoi ka meinga e ahau tou he kia mutu, me tou moepuku i timata mai ra i te whenua o Ihipa; kia kore ai ou kanohi e ara ki aua mea, kia kore ai ano koe e mahara ki Ihipa a muri ake nei.
28 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am giving thee into a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast alienated.
No te mea ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tenei ahau ka hoatu nei i a koe ki te ringa o te hunga e kinongia na e koe, ki roto ki te ringa o te hunga kua ngakaukore na koe ki a ratou.
29 And they have dealt with thee in hatred, And they have taken all thy labour, And they have left thee naked and bare, And revealed hath been the nakedness of thy whoredoms, And the wickedness of thy whoredoms.
Ka mahi ano ratou i runga i te mauahara ki a koe, a ka riro ou mauiui katoa i a ratou, mahue iho koe i a ratou kahore he kakahu, noho tahanga ana: ka kitea hoki e takoto kau ana ou moepuku, tou he me ou moepuku.
30 To do these things to thee, In thy going a-whoring after nations, Because thou hast been defiled with their idols,
Ka meatia enei mea e ahau ki a koe mo tou whainga atu ki nga tauiwi moepuku ai, mou i poke i a ratou whakapakoko.
31 In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have given her cup into thy hand.
I haere koe i te ara o tou tuakana; na, ka hoatu e ahau tana kapu ki tou ringa.
32 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The cup of thy sister thou dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter and for scorn, ) Abundant to contain.
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka inumia e koe te kapu a tou tuakana, aua noa iho ki raro, nui noa atu: ka ai koe hei whakakatanga, hei taunutanga: ranea rawa taua kapu.
33 With drunkenness and sorrow thou art filled, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy sister Samaria.
Ka ki koe i te haurangi, i te pouri, i te kapu o te ketekete, o te whakangaromanga, i te kapu a tou tuakana, a Hamaria.
34 And thou hast drunk it, and hast drained [it], And its earthen ware thou dost gnaw, And thine own breasts thou pluckest off, For I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah,
Ka inumia ano ra e koe, tatau rawa, wawahi rawa i nga maramara, ka hae ano e koe ou u: naku hoki te korero, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
35 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten Me, And thou dost cast Me behind thy back, Even thou also bear thy wickedness and thy whoredoms.'
Ina, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua wareware na koe ki ahau, kua maka ano ahau e koe ki muri i tou tuara, na pikaua ano e koe tou he me ou moepuku.
36 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Son of man, Dost thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? Declare then to them their abominations.
I mea ano a Ihowa ki ahau; E te tama a te tangata, e whakawa ranei koe i a Ohora raua ko Ohoripa? whakakitea a raua mea whakarihariha ki a raua;
37 For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, With their idols they committed adultery, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
No te mea kua moepuku raua, he toto kei o raua ringa, kua moepuku ano raua ki a raua whakapakoko; kua meinga e raua a raua tamariki, aku i whanau nei i roto i a raua kia tika i roto i te ahi, ki aua whakapakoko, pau tonu atu.
38 Again, this they have done to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And My sabbaths they have polluted.
Ko tenei ano ta raua i mea ai ki ahau: i taua ra kotahi, whakapokea iho e raua toku wahi tapu, ko aku hapati kua noa i a raua.
39 And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come in unto My sanctuary in that day to pollute it, And lo, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
I ta raua patunga hoki i a raua tamariki hei mea ki a raua whakapakoko, haere ana raua i taua ra ano ki toku wahi tapu whakanoa ai; na, ko ta raua tena i mea ai i roto i toku whare.
40 And also that they send to men coming from afar, Unto whom a messenger is sent, And lo, they have come in for whom thou hast washed, Painted thine eyes, and put on adornment.
I unga tangata ano koutou ki te hunga haere mai i tawhiti, he hunga i unga atu nei he karere ki a ratou; na, kua tae mai ratou; mo ratou tau horoi i a koe, mea rawa i ou kanohi ki te pukepoto, whakapaipai rawa i a koe ki nga whakapaipai;
41 And thou hast sat on a couch of honour, And a table arrayed before it, And My perfume and My oil placed on it.
Na noho ana koe, he mea kororia te moenga, i tona taha ko te tepu rite rawa; i runga ko taku whakakakara, ko taku hinu, he mea whakatakoto nau.
42 And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And unto men of the common people are brought in Sabeans from the wilderness, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beauteous crown on their heads.
A i taua wahine te nge o te mano tini e noho nakohakoha ana: a i kawea mai i roto i te mano o te tangata nga haurangi o te koraha; a na ratou i whakanoho he poroporo ki o raua ringa, he karauna ataahua ki o raua mahunga.
43 And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms — she also!
Katahi ahau ka mea mo taua wahine kua ruruhi nei e moepuku ana, E moepuku ano ranei ratou ki a ia, me ia ano ki a ratou?
44 And they come in unto her, As the coming in unto a whorish woman, So they have come in unto Aholah, And unto Aholibah — the wicked women.
Heoi haere ana ratou ki a ia, he pera i ta ratou haere ki te wahine moepuku: pera tonu ta ratou haere ki a Ohora, ki a Ohoripa, ki nga wahine he.
45 As to righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
Na, ko nga tangata tika, ma ratou raua e whakawa, he whakawa i nga wahine moepuku, he whakawa i nga wahine whakaheke toto; he wahine moepuku hoki raua, he toto kei o raua ringa.
46 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Bring up against them an assembly, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka kawea mai e ahau he hui ki a raua, a ka meinga raua e ahau kia makamaka, kia pahuatia.
47 And they have cast at them the stone of the assembly, And cut them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters they do slay, And their houses with fire they burn.
A ka akina raua e te hui ki te kohatu, ka tapahia ki a ratou hoari; ka whakamatea a raua tama, a raua tamahine, ka tahuna ano o raua whare ki te ahi.
48 And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And instructed have been all the women, And they do not according to your wickedness.
Heoi ka meinga e ahau te puremu kia mutu i te whenua; kia ako ai nga wahine katoa kia kaua a ratou mahi e rite ki o korua he.
49 And they have put your wickedness on you, And the sins of your idols ye bear, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah!
Ka hoatu ano e ratou nga utu o to korua he ki a korua, a ka pikaua e korua nga hara o a korua whakapakoko; ka mohio ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.
