Ezekiela 12
1 HIKI mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la.
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ke noho nei no oe iwaenakonu o ka ohana kipi, he mau maka e ike ai ko lakou, aole hoi i ike; he mau pepeiao e lohe ai ko lakou, aole hoi i lohe: no ka mea, he ohana kipi lakou.
“You human, you are living among people who are [very] rebellious. They have eyes, but they do not [what I want them to see]; they have ears, but they do not [what I want them to hear], because they are rebellious/stubborn people.
3 Nolaila, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoomakaukau oe i mau mea no ka hele ana; a e hele hoi oe ma ka la imua o ko lakou mau maka, a e hele ae mai kou wahi aku, i kekahi wahi aku imua o ko lakou mau maka; malia paha e noonoo lakou; he ohana kipi no hoi lakou.
Therefore, you human, pack your belongings as though you were (going into exile/being forced to go to another country). Then, during the daytime, while people are watching, [prepare to] go to another place. Even though the people are rebellious, perhaps they will [what you are symbolizing].
4 Alaila oe e lawe ae iwaho i kou ukana ma ka la no, imua o ko lakou mau maka, me he ukana la no ka hele ana: a e hele aku i ke ahiahi imua o ko lakou mau maka, me he hele ana la i ke pio ana.
During the daytime, while they are watching, bring out the things that you want to take and pack them. Then in the evening, while they are watching, do what those who are preparing to go into exile do.
5 Imua o ko lakou mau maka e pao ae oe iloko o ka pa, a malaila e lawe aku ai iwaho.
Dig through [city] wall and take your things through the hole.
6 Imua o ko lakou mau maka e amo ai oe maluna o kou mau pohiwi, a e hali aku iwaho i ka powehiwehi; e uhi hoi oe i kou wahi maka i ike ole ai oe i ka honua, no ka mea, ua hoonoho iho au ia oe i hoailona no ka ohana a Iseraela.
Then put [in a sack] on your shoulder while they are watching and leave at dusk. Cover your face in order that you cannot see the path. [I want you to do this] because I want you to warn the Israeli people.”
7 A hana iho la au e like me au i kauohaia mai ai; ua lawe ae au i kuu ukana i ka la me he ukana la no ke pio ana, a i ke ahiahi pao ae la au iloko o ka pa me ka lima o'u; hali ae la au iwaho i ka powehiwehi, a amo hoi au maluna o ka pohiwi imua o ko lakou mau maka.
[So] I did what Yahweh told me to do. During the day I brought things out of my [as though] I was packing to go into exile. Then in the evening I dug through [city] wall. [Then] while people watched, I put my sack of belongings on my shoulder and left.
8 A i ke kakahiaka, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:
9 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, aole anei i ninau ia oe ka ohana a Iseraela, ka ohana kipi, Heaha kau e hana nei?
“You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 E olelo oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, penei; O keia ukana, no ke alii iloko o Ierusalema, a me ka ohana a pau a Iseraela iwaena o lakou.
[So go back and] say to them, ‘What I did is about the king in Jerusalem and all the [other] people of Israel who are there.’
11 E olelo ae, Owau no ka hoailona no oukou; e like me ka'u i hana'i, pela e hanaia mai ai lakou; a e hele aku lakou, a e lilo i ke pio ana.
Tell [them], ‘[What I did] is a warning to you.’ What has happened to you will happen to them. They will be captured and forced to go to another country.
12 A o ke alii iwaena o lakou, e amo no oia ma kona pohiwi i ka powehiwehi, a puka aku no; e wawahi lakou i ka pa i kahi e halihali ai lakou iwaho: e uhi no hoi oia kona wahi maka i ike ole oia i ka honua me na maka.
Their king will put his belongings on his shoulder at dusk and leave. [His servants] will dig a hole through the city wall, [and he will take his belongings] through it. He will cover his face in order [others will not recognize] him.
13 E hohola hoi au i ko'u upena maluna ona, a e hei no ia i kuu pahele; a e lawe au ia ia ma Babulona, ka aina o ko Kaledea; aole nae ia e ike aku ia, e make no nae oia ilaila.
[it will be as though] I will spread a net for [to be captured]; [enemy soldiers will] capture him and take him to [city]. But he will [be able to] see it; and there he will die.
14 A o ka poe a pau e hoopuni ana ia ia, e kokua ia ia, oia ka'u e hoopuehu i kela makani i keia makani, a me kana mau poe; a e unuhi ae au i ka pahikaua mahope iho o lakou.
I will scatter in all directions [IDM] all those who have been around him—his advisors and his soldiers—and I will cause his enemies to pursue them, with their swords ready to strike them.
15 A e ike no lakou, owau no Iehova, aia hoopuehu au ia lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e hoohele liilii ia lakou i na aina.
Then, when I scatter them among many nations [DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
16 Aka, e hookoe au i kekahi mau kanaka o lakou, i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau; i hai aku lakou i ko lakou mau mea hoopailua a pau iwaena o na lahuikanaka i hele ai lakou; a e ike lakou owau no Iehova.
But I will spare/save a few of them from being killed by swords and from dying from famines or plagues, with the result that in the nations to which they are forced to go, they will realize/admit that they have been doing disgusting things, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
17 Hiki mai la no hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
18 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e ai i kau berena me ka haalulu, a e inu i kou wai me ka weliweli, a me ke kaumaha;
“You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while you drink your water.
19 A e olelo aku i na kanaka o ka aina, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku no ko Ierusalema, a me ko ka aina o Iseraela, E ai lakou i ka lakou berena me ka malama pono, a e inu i ko lakou wai me ka pihoihoi, i neoneo loa ka aina i ka ole o ko laila a pau, no ka hoohaunaele ana o ka poe a pau e noho ana ilaila.
Tell [this to] the Israeli people: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about those who are [still] living in Jerusalem and [other places in] Israel: They also will be very anxious/worried [DOU] while they eat their food and drink their water, because their country will [soon] have everything taken away. That will happen because the people who live there [continually] act [very] violently.
20 A e hooneoneoia na kulanakauhale i nohoia, a e neoneo no hoi ka aina; a e ike no hoi oukou owau no Iehova.
The towns where people live will be devastated, and the land will become barren/empty. Then you people will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
21 Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
22 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, he aha kela olelo a oukou ma ka aina o ka Iseraela, o ka i ana, Ua hoopaneeia na la, a ua lilo e na hihio a pau?
“You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’
23 Nolaila e olelo aku oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku penei; E hooki au i keia olelo, aole lakou e lawe hou ia mea me he olelo akamai la iloko o ka Iseraela; aka, e olelo aku ia lakou, Kokoke mai na la, a me ka io o na hihio a pau.
So say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I am going to prove that (what they say/that proverb) is not correct, and then they will never say that again in Israel.’ Tell them, ‘It will soon be the time when everything that the prophets have predicted will happen.
24 No ka mea, aole e hihio oiaio ole hou, a me ka wanana malimali iloko o ka ohana a Iseraela.
No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.
25 No ka mea, Owau no Iehova; e olelo aku no wau, a e ko io no ka mea a'u i olelo ai, aole e hoopanee hou ia'ku; no ka mea, i ko oukou mau la, e ka ohana kipi, e olelo au i ka olelo, a e hooko iho no, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
Instead, I, Yahweh, will say what I want to tell the people, and what I predict will quickly happen. You rebellious people, I will cause to happen everything that I say will happen. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say.’”
26 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Yahweh also gave me this message:
27 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, eia hoi, ke olelo nei ka ohana a Iseraela, O ka hihio ana i ike ai, no na la he nui no ia, a ke wanana nei no ia no na manawa loihi aku.
“You human, the Israeli people are [constantly] saying [about you], ‘The things that he sees in [will not happen soon]. They are [things that will happen] many years from now, far in the future.’
28 Nolaila e olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, peneia; Aole olelo a'u e hoopanee hou ia'ku, aka, e hookoia'ku ka olelo a'u i olelo ai, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
Therefore say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord [DOU] says: I will no longer [causing to happen] any of the things that I have prophesied. Whatever I have predicted [very soon] happen.’”
