< Ezekiela 11 >
1 A KAIKAI iho la ka uhane ia'u, a lawe ia'u i ka pukapa hikina o ko Iehova hale e nana ana ma ka hikina; aia hoi, ma ke pani o ka pukapa he iwakaluakumamalima kanaka, a iwaena o lakou ike aku la au ia Iaazania ke keiki a Azura, a me Pelatia ke keiki a Benaia, na'lii o na kanaka.
And a spirit bore me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh eastward: and behold, there were at the entrance of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Yaazanyah the son of 'Azzur, and Pelatyahu the son of Benayahu, princes of the people.
2 Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, eia na kanaka i kukakuka i ka mea ino, a haawi hoi i ka oleloao hewa iloko o keia kulanakauhale:
Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise wickedness, and give evil counsel in this city;
3 Na mea olelo, Aole kokoke mai, e kukulu kakou i na hale: eia ka ipuhao nui, a o kakou ka io.
Who say, [The evil] is not near; so let us build houses: this [city] is the pot, and we are the flesh.
4 Nolaila o wanana ku e ia lakou, e wanana, e ke keiki a ke kanaka.
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
5 A haule mai la ka Uhane o Iehova, a olelo mai la ia'u, E olelo oe, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei; Ua olelo oukou pela, e ka ohana a Iseraela: no ka mea, ua ike au i na mea a pau i komo iloko o ko oukou naau.
And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak, Thus hath said the Lord, Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; and whatever cometh into your mind, do I know full well.
6 Ua hoonui oukou i ko oukou poe i hoomakeia iloko o keia kulanakauhale, a ua hoopiha oukou i kona mau alanui me na mea i make i ka pepohiia.
Ye have multiplied those slain by you in this city, and ye have filled its streets with the slain.
7 Nolaila ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, O ko oukou poe i make i ka pepehiia a oukou i hoomoe iho ai iwaenakonu ona, o lakou ka io, a o keia ka ipuhao nui; aka, e lawe ae au ia oukou iwaho, mai waenakonu ae ona.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Those slain by you whom ye have struck down in the midst of it, —they are the flesh, and this place is the pot; but you are to be removed out of the midst of it.
8 O ka pahikaua ka oukou i makau ai; a o ka pahikaua ka'u e hooili ai maluna o oukou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
The sword have ye feared: and the sword will I bring over you, saith the Lord Eternal.
9 A e lawe ae au ia oukou mai waenakonu ae ona, a e haawi ia oukou i na lima o na malihini, a e hana au ma ka hoopai ana iwaena o oukou.
And I will remove you out of the midst of it, and I will give you up into the hand of strangers, and will execute punishments among you.
10 A e haulo oukou i ka pahikaua; e hoopai au ia oukou ma ka palena o ka Iseraela; a e ike no oukou owau no Iehova.
By the sword shall ye fall; on the boundary of Israel will I judge you: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
11 Aole e lilo keia i ipuhao nui no oukou, aole hoi oukou ka io iwaenakonu ona; aka, ma ka palena o ka Iseraela e hoopai aku ai au ia oukou.
This place shall not be unto you as a pot, so that you should be as flesh in the midst of it; but on the boundary of Israel will I judge you.
12 A e ike oukou owau no Iehova; e ka poe hele ole ma ko'u mau kanawai, aole hana i ka'u mau oihana, aka, ua hana oukou mamuli o na oihana a na lahuikanaka e hoopuni ana ia oukou.
And ye shall know that I am the Lord: because in my statutes have ye not walked, and my ordinances have ye not executed; but ye have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.
13 Eia kekahi, i kuu wanana ana, make iho la o Pelatia ke keiki a Benaia. Alaila moe iho au ilalo ke alo, a kahea aku la me ka leo nui, i aku la, Auwe, e Iehova ka Haku e! e hoopau io anei oe i ke koena o ka Iseraela?
And it came to pass, as I was prophesying, that Pelatyahu the son of Benayah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Eternal! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
14 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Then came the word of the Lord unto me, saying,
15 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, o kou poe hoahanau, o kou poe hoahanau, o na kanaka hanauna on, a me ka ohana okoa o ka Iseraela, o lakou ka poe a ko Ierusalema i kauoha aku ai, E hoomamao loa aku oukou ia Iehova; no ka mea, ua haawiia mai keia aina no makou i waiwai ili.
Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and the whole house of Israel altogether, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Remain you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given for a possession.
16 Nolaila e olelo oe, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; I kipaku hoi au ia lakou i kahi loihi aku mawaena o na lahuikanaka, a i hoopuehu hoi au ia lakou iwaena o na aina, e lilo no nae au i wahi keenakapu iki no lakou, i na aina e hiki ai lakou.
Therefore say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Although I have removed them far away among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries: yet will I be to them as a minor sanctuary in the countries whither they are come.
17 Nolaila e olelo aku oe, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, E houluulu au ia oukou mai waena mai o na kanaka, a e hoakoakoa ia oukou mai loko mai o na aina i puehuia'i oukou, a e haawi aku au i ka aina o ka Iseraela ia oukou.
Therefore say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will both gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries whether ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 A e hele mai no lakou ilaila, a e lawe aku lakou i na mea i hoowahawahaia a pau ona, a me na mea i inainaia a pau ona mai laila aku.
And they shall come thither, and they shall remove all its detestable things, and all its abominations out of it.
19 A e haawi aku au ia lakou i ka naau hookahi, e haawi hoi au i uhane hou iloko o oukou, a e lawe aku au i ka naau pohaku mailoko aku o ka lakou io, a e haawi aku au i ka naau io ia lakou;
And I will give them one single heart, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone out of their body, and I will give unto them a heart of flesh:
20 I hele lakou ma ko'u mau kanawai, a e malama hoi i ka'u mau oihana, a e hana hoi ia mau mea; a e lilo lakou i kanaka no'u, a owau hoi i Akua no lakou.
In order that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them; and they shall be unto me for a people, and I will indeed be unto them for a God.
21 Aka, o ka poe i hele ko lakou naau mamuli o ka naau o ko lakou mau mea i hoowahawahaia, a me ko lakou mau mea inainaia, e uku aku au i ko lakou aoao maluna o ko lakou poo iho, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
But as for those whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, their way do I bring upon their own head, saith the Lord Eternal.
22 Alaila hapai ae la na keruba i ko lakou mau eheu, a me na huila ma ko lakou mau aoao; aia maluna o lakou ka nani o ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels at the same time with them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 A pii ae la ka nani o Iehova mai waenakonu aku o ke kulanakauhale, a kau ma ka mauna ma ka aoao hikina o ke kulanakauhale.
And the glory of the Lord ascended from the midst of the city, and halted upon the mount which is on the east side of the city.
24 A mahope iho kaikai ae la ka uhane, a lawe ia'u iloko o ka hihio ma ka Uhane o ke Akua i Kaledea i ka poe pio. A pii ae la ka hihio a'u i ike aku ai mai o'u aku la.
But a spirit bore me up, and brought me into Chaldea, to those in exile, in the appearance through the spirit of God: and then ascended away from me the appearance which I had seen.
25 Alaila olelo aku au i ka poe pio i na mea a pau a Iehova i hoike mai ai ia'u.
Then did I speak unto those in exile all the things that the Lord had shown me.
