< Ezekiela 14 >

1 A LAILA hele mai kekahi mau luna kahiko o ka Iseraela, a noho iho imua o'u.
Then some of the elders of Israel came and sat down before me.
2 Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u i mai la,
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
3 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua kukulu keia poe kanaka i ko lakou mau kii iloko o ko lakou mau naau, a waiho iho i ko lakou mea hoowalewale i ka hewa imua o ko lakou alo; e ninauia mai anei au e lakou?
“Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I consult with them in any way?
4 Nolaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou, a e i aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; O kela kanaka keia kanaka o ka ohana a Iseraela i kukulu i kona mau kii iloko o kona naau, a i waiho iho i kona mea hoowalewale i ka hewa imua o kona alo, a hele mai hoi i ke kaula; na'u na Iehova e hai aku i ka mea i hele mai e like me ka nui o kona poe kii;
Therefore speak to them and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him according to his great idolatry,
5 I hopu au i ka ohana a Iseraela iloko o ko lakou naau iho, no ka mea, ua aea lakou mai o'u aku nei ma ko lakou mau kii.
so that I may take hold of the hearts of the people of Israel. For because of their idols, they are all estranged from Me.’
6 Nolaila e olelo aku oe i ka ohana a Iseraela, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; E mihi oukou, a e huli mai, mai ko oukou mau kii mai, a e hoohuli i ko oukou mau maka mai ko oukou mau mea e inainaia a pau.
Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Repent and turn away from your idols; turn your faces away from all your abominations.
7 No ka mea, o kela mea keia mea o ka ohana a Iseraela, a o ka malihini e noho iki ana iloko o ka Iseraela, i hookaawale ia ia iho mai o'u aku nei, a kukulu hoi i kona mau kii iloko o kona naau, a waiho iho hoi i kona mea e hoowalewale ai i ka hewa imua o kona alo. a hele mai hoi i ke kaula e ninau mai no'u; na'u na Iehova e hai aku ia ia ma o'u iho no.
For when any Israelite or any foreigner dwelling in Israel separates himself from Me, sets up idols in his heart, and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me, I the LORD will answer him Myself.
8 A e hooku e au i ko'u wahi maka i kela kanaka, a e hoolilo au ia ia i hoailona, a i hua olelo hoohiki; a e oki aku au ia ia mai waena aku o ko'u poe kanaka; a e ike no hoi oukou owau no Iehova.
I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb; I will cut him off from among My people. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
9 A ina e puni ke kaula i kana olelo ana i kekahi mea, ua puni ia kaula ia'u ia Iehova. A e kikoo aku au i ko'u lima maluna ona, a e luku aku au ia ia mai waenakonu aku o ko'u poe kanaka ka Iseraela.
But if the prophet is enticed to speak a message, then it was I the LORD who enticed him, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel.
10 A e halihali lakou i ka hoopaiia o ko lakou hewa. E like ka hoopai ana i ke kaula me ka hoopai ana i ka mea i imi aku;
They will bear their punishment—the punishment of the inquirer will be the same as that of the prophet—
11 I ole e auwana hou aku ka ohana a Iseraela mai o'u aku nei, i ole hoi e haumia hou me ko lakou lawehala ana, aka, e lilo lakou i poe kanaka no'u, a owau no hoi i Akua no, lakou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Then they will be My people and I will be their God, declares the Lord GOD.’”
12 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
13 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, i ka wa e hana hewa loa mai ai ka aina ia'u, e kikoo aku au i ko'u lima maluna iho ona, a e uhai au i ke kookoo o kana berena, a e hoouna aku au i ka wi maluna ona, a e oki aku i na kanaka me na holoholona mai ona aku la;
“Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting unfaithfully, and I stretch out My hand against it to cut off its supply of food, to send famine upon it, and to cut off from it both man and beast,
14 Ina o keia mau kanaka ekolu ka iloko ona, o Noa, Dauiela a me Ioba, o ko lakou mau uhane iho ka lakou e hoopakele ai ma ko lakou pono, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
then even if these three men—Noah, Daniel, and Job—were in it, their righteousness could deliver only themselves, declares the Lord GOD.
15 Ina e hoohele ae au i na holoholona ino iwaena o ka aina, a oki loa ia lakou, a neoneo loa i ole ai e hele ae ke kanaka mawaena no ua poe holoholona la;
Or if I send wild beasts through the land to leave it childless and desolate, with no man passing through it for fear of the beasts,
16 Ina o keia mau kanaka ekolu ka iloko ona, ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aole lakou e hoopakele i na keikikane me na kaikamahine, o lakou wale no ke hoopakeleia, aka, e neoneo no ka aina.
then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.
17 A ina lawe au i ka pahikaua maluna o ka aina, a e olelo aku, E ka pahikaua, e hele oe mawaeua o ka aina; a oki aku au i na kanaka a me na holoholona mai ona aku la;
Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through it,’ so that I cut off from it both man and beast,
18 Ina o keia mau kanaka ekolu ka iloko ona, ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aole lakou e hoopakele i na keikikane, aole hoi i na kaikamahine; o lakou wale no ke hoopakeleia.
then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered.
19 A ina e hoouna au i ka mai ahulau i kela aina, a e ninini aku i ko'u huhu maluna ona me ke koko, e oki aku i kanaka pu me ka holoholona,
Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out My wrath upon it through bloodshed, cutting off from it both man and beast,
20 Ina o Noa, Daniela a me Ioba ka iloko ona, ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aole lakou e hoopakele i ke keikikane, aole hoi i ke kaikamahine; o ko lakou mau uhane iho ka lakou e hoopakele ai ma ko lakou pono.
then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. Their righteousness could deliver only themselves.
21 No ka mea, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E kela aku keia i ka wa e hoouna aku ai au i kuu mau mea hoopai kaumaha a eha maluna o Ierusalema, i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a me ka holoholona ino, a me ka mai auhulau, e oki aku mai laila aku i kanaka pu me ka holoholona.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem My four dire judgments—sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague—in order to cut off from it both man and beast?
22 Aka, eia hoi, e koe no ke koena iloko ona e laweia'e iwaho, o na keikikane a me na kaikamahine; aia hoi, e puka mai lakou io oukou la, a e ike oukou i ko lakou aoao a me ka lakou hana ana; a e hooluoluia oukou no ka ino a'u i hooili ae ai maluna o Ierusalema, no na mea a pau a'u i kau ai maluna ona.
Yet, behold, some survivors will be left in it—sons and daughters who will be brought out. They will come out to you, and when you see their conduct and actions, you will be comforted regarding the disaster I have brought upon Jerusalem—all that I have brought upon it.
23 A e hooluolu lakou ia oukou, aia ike oukou i ko lakou mau aoao a me ka lakou hana ana; a e ike oukou aole au i hana kumu ole i na mea a pau a'u i hana'i iloko ona, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
They will bring you consolation when you see their conduct and actions, and you will know that it was not without cause that I have done all these things within it,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
