Ezekiel 9

1 And He crieth in mine ears — a loud voice — saying, 'Drawn near have inspectors of the city, and each his destroying weapon in his hand.'

I karanga ano ia ki oku taringa, he nui te reo, i mea, Kia whakatata mai nga kaitirotiro o te pa, me tana patu whakangaro i te ringa o tenei, o tenei.

2 And lo, six men are coming from the way of the upper gate, that is facing the north, and each his slaughter-weapon in his hand, and one man in their midst is clothed with linen, and a scribe's inkhorn at his loins, and they come in, and stand near the brazen altar.

Na tokoono nga tangata e haere mai ana i te ara o to runga kuwaha e anga ana ki te raki, me tana patu whakamate ano i te ringa o tenei, o tenei: ko tetahi tangata ano i roto i a ratou he rinena tona kakahu, he pounamu ano na te kaituhituhi i tona taha. Na tomo ana ratou, tu ana i te taha o te aata parahi.

3 And the honour of the God of Israel hath gone up from off the cherub, on which it hath been, unto the threshold of the house.

Na kua kake atu te kororia o te Atua o Iharaira i te kerupa, ko tona taunga nei tera, ki te paepae o te whare: na ka karanga tera ki te tangata, he rinena nei tona kakahu, ki tera kei tona taha nei te pounamu a te kaituhituhi;

4 And He calleth unto the man who is clothed with linen, who hath the scribe's inkhorn at his loins, and Jehovah saith unto him, 'Pass on into the midst of the city, into the midst of Jerusalem, and thou hast made a mark on the foreheads of the men who are sighing and who are groaning for all the abominations that are done in its midst.'

A ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, E tika na waenganui i te pa, na waenga i Hiruharama, ka whakapiri i tetahi tohu ki nga rae o nga tangata e aue ana, e tangi ana, mo nga mea whakarihariha katoa e mahia ana i waenganui o konei.

5 And to the others he said in mine ears, 'Pass on into the city after him, and smite; your eye doth not pity, nor do ye spare;

I mea ano ia ki era atu, me te whakarongo ano ahau, E tika koutou na waenganui o te pa i muri i a ia patu ai: kaua o koutou kanohi e manawapa, kaua e tohu.

6 aged, young man, and virgin, and infant, and women, ye do slay — to destruction; and against any man on whom [is] the mark ye do not go nigh, and from My sanctuary ye begin.'

Patua kia ngaro te kaumatua, te taitama, te kotiro, me nga kohungahunga, me nga wahine; kaua ia e tata ki tetahi tangata i a ia nei te tohu; me timata ki toku wahi tapu. Na kua timata ratou ki nga kaumatua i te aronga o te whare.

7 And they begin among the aged men who [are] before the house, and He saith unto them, 'Defile the house, and fill the courts with the wounded, go forth.' And they have gone forth and have smitten in the city.

I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Whakapokea te whare, whakakiia nga marae ki te tupapaku: haere koutou. Heoi haere ana ratou, na kei te patu i roto i te pa.

8 And it cometh to pass, as they are smiting, and I — I am left — that I fall on my face, and cry, and say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, art Thou destroying all the remnant of Israel, in Thy pouring out Thy wrath on Jerusalem?'

Na i a ratou e patu ana, a ka mahue ahau, ka tapapa ahau, ka karanga, ka mea, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa! ka ngaro ianei i a koe nga morehu katoa o Iharaira, i te mea ka ringihia nei e koe tou weriweri ki runga ki Hiruharama?

9 And He saith unto me, 'The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] very very great, and the land is full of blood, and the city hath been full of perverseness, for they have said: Jehovah hath forsaken the land, and Jehovah is not seeing.

Ano ra ko ia ki ahau, He nui rawa te he o te whare o Iharaira raua ko Hura, kua ki hoki te whenua i te toto, kua ki ano te pa i te whakariroinga o te whakawa: e mea ana hoki ratou, Kua mahue te whenua i a Ihowa, e kore a Ihowa e kite.

10 And I also, Mine eye doth not pity, nor do I spare; their way on their own head I have put.'

Na, ko ahau nei hoki, e kore toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ahau e tohu; ka hoatu e ahau te utu o to ratou ara ki runga ki to ratou mahunga.

11 And lo, the man clothed with linen, at whose loins [is] the inkhorn, is bringing back word, saying, 'I have done as Thou hast commanded me.'

Na, ko te tangata i te kakahu rinena, tera kei tona taha ra te pounamu mangumangu, korerotia ana e ia taua mea, i ki ia, Kua oti i ahau tau i whakahau ra ki ahau.
