Ezekiela 2
1 I MAI la hoi oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e ku iluna oe ma kou mau wawae, a e olelo aku no au ia oe.
“Stand up, son of man, because I want to talk to you,” he said to me.
2 A komo mai la ka uhane iloko o'u i kana olelo ana ia'u, a hooku ia'u ma ko'u mau wawae, a lohe au i ka mea olelo mai ia'u.
As he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and had me stand up. I listened to him speaking to me.
3 Olelo mai la hoi ia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ke hoouna aku nei au ia oe i na mamo a Iseraela, i ka lahuikanaka kipi i kipi ia'u; ua hana hewa lakou a me ko lakou mau makua ia'u a hiki i keia la.
“Son of man,” he told me, “I'm sending you to the people of Israel, a disobedient nation that has rebelled against me. They and their forefathers have continued to rebel against me, even up to today.
4 No ka mea, he poe keiki maka oolea lakou a me ka naau paakiki, a e olelo aku oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei.
They are pig-headed; they are hard-hearted children. I am sending you to tell them that this is what the Lord God says.
5 A o lakou, ina lohe paha, a lohe ole paha, (no ka mea, he ohana kipi lakou, ) e ike no hoi lakou he kaula no ka iwaena o lakou.
Whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious people—they will realize that a prophet has come to them.
6 A o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, mai makau aku ia lakou, aole hoi i ka lakou mau olelo, ina he mau laau oioi a me ke kakalaioa kekahi me oe, a noho oe iwaena o na moohueloawa, mai noho a weliweli oe i ka lakou mau olelo, aole hoi i ko lakou mau helehelena, ina no he ohana kipi lakou.
Son of man, don't be afraid of them or what they say. You don't need to be afraid even though you're surrounded by brambles and thorns, even though you live among scorpions. Don't be afraid of what they say or be discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious family.
7 A e olelo aku oe i ka'u mau olelo ia lakou, ina lohe lakou, a ina lohe ole lakou; no ka mea, he poe kipi loa lakou.
Just tell them what I say, whether they listen or not, because they're rebels.
8 Aka o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoolohe mai i ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe; mai noho a kipi oe e like me kela ohana kipi, e oaka kou waha a e ai i ka mea a'u e haawi aku ai ia oe.
As for you, son of man, pay attention to what I tell you. Don't be rebellious like those rebellious people. Open your mouth and eat what I'm about to give you.”
9 A i ko'u nana ana, aia hoi, ua hoounaia mai kekahi lima ia'u; aia hoi, maloko ona he owili palapala;
I looked up and saw a hand stretched out to me holding a scroll.
10 A hohola mai la oia ia mea imua o ko'u alo; a ua kakauia maloko a mawaho, a ua kakania hoi malaila: NA KANIKAU, A ME KA UWE ANA, A ME KA POINO.
He spread it out in front of me, and there written on both the front and back were words of grief, mourning, and tragedy.
