Ezekiela 14
1 A LAILA hele mai kekahi mau luna kahiko o ka Iseraela, a noho iho imua o'u.
Then came there unto me certain men of the elders of Israel, 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 unto 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 their idols in their heart, and the stumbling-block of their iniquity have they placed before their faces: shall I in any wise let myself be inquired of by them?
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 with them and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whatever man it be of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and layeth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet: I the Lord will answer him, although he cometh with the multitude of his idols;
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.
In order that I may grasp the house of Israel by their heart, those who are separated from me through all their idols.
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 say unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Return, and cause [your heart] to turn away from your idols: and from all your abominations turn away your faces.
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 whatever man it be of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, that separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and layeth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and then cometh to the prophet to inquire through him of me: I the Lord will answer him through my word;
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.
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment for a sign and for proverbs, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall 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.
And when the prophet suffereth himself to be deceived, and he speaketh a word: I the Lord have suffered that prophet to be deceived: and I will stretch out my hand against him, and will destroy him from the midst of 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;
And they shall bear their guilt: as the guilt of the inquirer is, so shall the guilt of the prophet be;
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 go no more astray by not following me, and not pollute themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may become unto me a people, and I may be unto them a God, saith the Lord Eternal.
12 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of the Lord came unto 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 should sin against me by trespassing grievously, and I stretch out my hand against it, and break unto it the staff of bread, and send out famine against it, and cut off from it 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.
And if there be these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, in the midst of it: these through their righteousness should save but their own soul; saith the Lord Eternal.
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;
If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they depopulate it, and it becometh desolate, without any one to pass through because 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.
These three men [if they were] in it, as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, should not save either sons or daughters: they only should be saved, but the land should be made 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 should bring a sword over that land, and say, The sword shall pass through the land, and I cut off from it 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.
And if these three men should be in it: as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, they should not save either sons or daughters, but they alone should be saved.
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 should send out the pestilence against that land, and pour out my fury over it in blood, to cut off from it 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.
And if Noah, Daniel, and Job, should be in the midst of it: as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, they should not save either son or daughter; they through their righteousness should save their own soul.
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 thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Although I send my four dreadful means of punishment over Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the wild beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it 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.
Still, behold, there are left therein some that escape who shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters; behold, they are coming forth unto you, and ye will see their way and their doings; and then will ye be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, yea, concerning 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.
And they will comfort you, when ye see their way and their doings; and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have executed in it, saith the Lord Eternal.
