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.
And he said unto me, Son of man, stand up upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
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.
And a spirit entered into me as he spoke unto me, and it placed me upon my feet, and I heard him that spoke unto 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.
And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious tribes that have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even until this very day.
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.
And the children are impudent of face, and obdurate of heart: I send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal.
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.
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, [for they are a rebellious family, ] shall yet know that a prophet hath been among 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.
And thou, son of man, —thou shalt not be afraid of them, and of their words thou shalt have no fear, though they be briers and thorns with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: of their words be not afraid, and at their presence be not dismayed; for 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.
And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.
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.
But thou, son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee, Be not thou rebellious like this rebellious family: open thy mouth, and eat what I give unto thee.
9 A i ko'u nana ana, aia hoi, ua hoounaia mai kekahi lima ia'u; aia hoi, maloko ona he owili palapala;
And then I looked, and behold, a hand was stretched out toward me; and, lo, a roll-book was therein;
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.
And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without: and there were written therein lamentations, and dirges, and woe.
