Ezekiela 20

1 EIA hoi kekahi, i ka hiku o ka makahiki, i ka lima o ka mahina, i ka la umi o ua mahina la, hele mai kekahi poe o na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela e ninau ia Iehova, a noho iho la imua o ko'u alo.

And it comes to pass, in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], on the tenth of the month, men from [the] elderly of Israel have come in to seek YHWH, and they sit before me;

2 Alaila hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

and there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

3 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe i na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, e i aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Hele mai nei oukou e ninau ia'u? Ma ko'u ola ana, aole au e ninauia e oukou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

“Son of man, speak to the elderly of Israel, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Are you coming in to seek Me? [As] I live—I am not sought by you—a declaration of Lord YHWH.

4 E hoohewa oe ia lakou, e hoohewa ia lakou, e ke keiki a ke kanaka? E hoike ia lakou i na mea I hoopailua o ko lakou poe makua.

Do you judge them? Do you judge, son of man? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers,

5 E olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku penei; i ka la i koho aku ai au i ka Iseraela, a i hapai ai i kuu lima i na keiki a ka ohana a Iakoba, a i hoike ai ia'u iho ia lakou ma ka aina Aigupita, i ka wa i hapai ai au i kuu lima ia lakou, me ka i ana'e, Owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua;

and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: In the day of My fixing on Israel, I lift up My hand, To the seed of the house of Jacob, And am known to them in the land of Egypt, And I lift up My hand to them, Saying, I [am] your God YHWH.

6 I ka la i hapai ai au i kuu lima ia lakou, e lawe mai ia lakou mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, i ka aina a'u i nana aku ai no lakou, e kahe ana ka waiu a me ka meli, ka mea nani o na aina a pau:

In that day I lifted up My hand to them, To bring them forth from the land of Egypt, To a land that I spied out for them, Flowing with milk and honey, It [is] a beauty to all the lands,

7 Alaila olelo aku la au ia lakou, E haalele oukou kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea inainaia o kona mau maka, mai noho a hoohaumia ia oukou iho ma na kii o Aigupita: owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua.

And I say to them, Let each cast away the detestable things of his eyes, And do not be defiled with the idols of Egypt, I [am] your God YHWH.

8 Aka, kipi mai la lakou ia'u, aole o lakou makemake e hoolohe mai ia'u; aole lakou i haalele kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea inainaia o ko lakou mau maka, aole hoi i haalele i na kii o Aigupita: alaila olelo aku au, E ninini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou, e hooko i ko'u huhu ia lakou mawaenakonu o ka aina o Aigupita.

And they rebel against Me, And have not been willing to listen to Me, Each has not cast away the detestable things of their eyes, And have not forsaken the idols of Egypt, And I speak—to pour out My fury on them, To complete My anger against them, In the midst of the land of Egypt.

9 Aka, ua hana au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, iwaena o ia poe i noho ai lakou: imua hoi o ko lakou mau maka i hoike ai au ia'u iho ia lakou, i ka lawe ana mai ia lakou mai loko mai o ka aina o Aigupita.

And I do [it] for My Name’s sake, Not to defile [it] before the eyes of the nations, In whose midst they [are in], Before whose eyes I became known to them, To bring them out from the land of Egypt.

10 A lawe mai la hoi au ia lakou mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, a alakai ia lakou iloko o ka waonahele.

And I bring them out of the land of Egypt, And I bring them into the wilderness,

11 Haawi aku la hoi au i ka'u mau kauoha ia lakou, a hoike aku la hoi au i ko'u mau kanawai ia lakou, o na mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila.

And I give My statutes to them, And I caused them to know My judgments, Which the man who does—lives by them.

12 A o ko'u mau Sabati kekahi ka'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou, i hoailona iwaena o'u a me lakou, i ike lakou owau no Iehova ka mea nana lakou i hoano.

And I have also given My Sabbaths to them, To be for a sign between Me and them, To know that I [am] YHWH who is sanctifying them.

13 Aka, kipi mai la ka ohana a Iseraela ia'u ma ka waonahele, aole lakou i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, ua hoowahawaha hoi lakou i ko'u mau kanawai, o na mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila: a ua hoohaumia nui lakou i ko'u mau Sabati. Alaila elele aku la au, E ninini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou ma ka waonahele, e hoopau ai ia lakou.

And the house of Israel rebels against Me in the wilderness, They have not walked in My statutes, And they have despised My judgments, Which the man who does—lives by them. And they have greatly defiled My Sabbaths, And I speak—to pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

14 Aka, hana iho la au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, imua o ko lakou alo i lawe mai ai au ia lakou iwaho.

And I do [it] for My Name’s sake, Not to defile [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them forth.

15 Ua hapai no nae au i kuu lima ia lakou, ma ka waonahele, e lawe ole au ia lakou i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai, e kahe ana ka waiu a me ka meli, ka mea naui o na aina a pau;

And also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, Not to bring them into the land that I had given, Flowing with milk and honey, It [is] a beauty to all the lands,

16 No ka mea, ua hoowahawaha lakou i ko'u mau kanawai, aole hoi i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, aka, ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u mau Sabati; no ka mea, ua hele ko lakou naau mamuli o ko lakou mau kii.

Because they kicked against My judgments, And they have not walked in My statutes, And they have defiled My Sabbaths, For their heart is going after their idols.

17 Aka hoi, ua aloha aku ko'u maka ia lakou i ole e luku ia lakou; aole hoi au i hoopau ia lakou ma ka waonahele.

And My eye has pity on them—against destroying them, And I have not made an end of them in the wilderness.

18 Aka, olelo aku la au i ka lakou mau keiki ma ka waonahele, Mai hele oukou ma na oihana a ko oukou mau makuakane, aole hoi e malama i ko lakou mau kanawai, aole hoi e hoohaumia ia oukou iho me ko lakou mau akuakii.

And I say to their sons in the wilderness: Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, And do not observe their judgments, And do not defile yourselves with their idols.

19 Owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua; e hele hoi oukou ma ka'u mau kauoha, a e malama i ko'u mau kanawai, a e hana oukou ma ia mau mea:

I [am] your God YHWH, walk in My statutes, And observe My judgments, and do them,

20 A e hoauo hoi i ko'u mau Sabati; a e lilo ia i hoailona iwaena o'u a me oukou, i ike oukou owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua.

And sanctify My Sabbaths, And they have been for a sign between Me and you, To know that I [am] your God YHWH.

21 Kipi mai la nae na keiki ia'u; aole lakou i hele ma ka'u mau kauoha, aole hoi lakou i malama i ko'u mau kanawai e hana malaila, o ua mea ke malamaia e ke kanaka, e ola ia ilaila: ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u mau Sabati; alaila olelo iho la au, e niuini aku au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou, e hooko ai i ko'u huhu ia lakou ma ka waonahele.

And the sons rebel against Me, They have not walked in My statutes, And they have not observed My judgments—to do them, Which the man who does—lives by them. They have defiled My Sabbaths, And I speak—to pour out My fury on them, To complete My anger against them in the wilderness.

22 Aka, hoihoi mai au i kuu lima, a hana hoi au no ko'u inoa, i ole ia e hoohaumiaia i na maka o na lahuikanaka, imua o ko lakou alo i lawe mai ai au ia lakou.

And I have turned back My hand, And I do [it] for My Name’s sake, Not to defile [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them out.

23 Hapai ae la hoi au i kuu lima ia lakou ma ka waonahele, e hooauhee liilii ia lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e hoopuehu ia lakou ma na aina.

I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands.

24 No ka mea, aole lakou i hana ma ko'u mau kanawai, aka, ua hoowahawaha i ka'u mau kauoha, a ua hoohaumia i ko'u mau Sabati, a o ko lakou mau maka, aia no mamuli o na kii o ko lakou mau makua.

Because they have not done My judgments, And they have despised My statutes, And they have defiled My Sabbaths, And their eyes have been after [the] idols of their fathers.

25 Nolaila hoi, haawi au no lakou i na kauoha pono ole, a me na kanawai i ola ole ai lakou ilaila;

And I also, I have given statutes to them [that are] not good, And judgments by which they do not live.

26 A ua hoohaumia au ia lakou iloko o ko lakou mau haawina; i ko lakou hoohele ana iwaena o ke ahi i na mea a pau i wehe ae i ka opu, i hooneoneo au ia lakou, i mea e ike ai lakou owau no Iehova.

And I defile them by their own gifts, By causing every opener of a womb to pass away, So that I make them desolate, So that they know that I [am] YHWH.

27 Nolaila e olelo aku, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, i ka ohana a Iseraela, a e i aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Maloko no hoi o keia, i hoino wale mai ai ko oukou mau makua ia'u, i ka lakou hana hewa ana mai ia'u:

Therefore, speak to the house of Israel, son of man, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Still in this your fathers have reviled Me, In their committing a trespass against Me.

28 I ko'u lawe ana mai ia lakou i ka aina, nona i hapai ai au i kuu lima e haawi aku au ia no lakou, a ike lakou i na puu kiekie a pau, a me na laau paapu a pau, alaila kaumaha ae la lakou i ka lakou mau mohai malaila; a haawi lakou ilaila i ka hoonaukiuki ana o ka lakou alana: ilaila hoi i hana aku ai lakou i ko lakou mea ala, a i ninini aku ai i ka lakou mau mohai inu.

And I bring them into the land, That I lifted up My hand to give to them, And they see every high hill, and every thick tree, And they sacrifice their sacrifices there, And give the provocation of their offering there, And make their refreshing fragrance there, And they pour out their drink-offerings there.

29 Alaila olelo aku la au ia lakou, Heaha ka wahi kiekie e hele aku ai oukou? A ua kapaia kona inoa o Bama a hiki i keia la.

And I say to them: What [is] the high place to where you are going in?” And its name is called “High Place” to this day.

30 Nolaila e olelo aku i ka ohana a Iseraela, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Ua haumia anei oukou mamuli o ka aoao o ko oukou mau makua? A ua moe kolohe anei oukou mamuli o ko lakou mau mea inainaia?

“Therefore, say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Are you defiling yourselves in the way of your fathers? And do you go whoring after their detestable things?

31 No ka mea, i ko oukou kaumaha ana i ka oukou mau mohai, i ko oukou hoohele ana i ka oukou mau keiki iwaena o ke ahi, ua hoohaumia oukou ia oukou iho me ko oukou mau akuakii a pau, a hiki i keia la; a e uinauia mai anei au e oukou, e ka ohana a Iseraela? Na ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aole au e ninauia mai e oukou.

And in the offering of your gifts, In causing your sons to pass through fire, You are defiled by all your idols to this day, And I am sought by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, I am not sought by you.

32 A o ka mea i kupu iloko o ko oukou naau, aole loa ia, i ka oukou olelo ana, E like kakou me na lahuikanaka, e like me na ohana o na aina i ka hoomana i ka laau a me ka pohaku.

And that which is going up on your mind, It is not at all—in that you are saying: We will be as the nations, as the families of the lands, To serve wood and stone.

33 Ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, He oiaio, me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kikoo aku, a me ka ukiuki i nininiia aku, e alii ai au maluna o oukou:

[As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Do I not, with a strong hand, And with an outstretched arm, And with poured out fury—rule over you?

34 A e lawe mai au ia oukou mai waena mai o kanaka, a e hoakoakoa au ia oukou mai na aina mai i hooauheeia'i oukou, me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kikoo, a me ka ukiuki i niniuiia'ku.

And I have brought you forth from the peoples, And assembled you from the lands In which you have been scattered, With a strong hand and with an outstretched arm, And with poured out fury.

35 A e lawe au ia oukou iloko o ka waouahele o kanaka, a malaila au e hakaka ai me oukou, he maka no he maka.

And I have brought you into the wilderness of the peoples, And have been judged with you there face to face.

36 Me au hoi i hakaka ai me ko oukou mau makua ma ka waonahele o ka aina Aigupita, pela e hakaka ai au me oukou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

As I was judged with your fathers, In the wilderness of the land of Egypt, So I am judged with you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

37 A e hoohele ae au ia oukou malalo ae o ko kookoo, a e lawe au ia oukou iloko o ka mea paa o ka berita:

And I have caused you to pass under the rod, And brought you into the bond of the covenant,

38 A e holoi aku wau mai waena aku o oukou i na kipi, a me ka poe i hana hewa mai ia'u; e lawe mai au ia lakou mai ka aina mai i noho iki ai lakou, aole nae lakou e komo i ka aina o ka Iseraela; a e ike i oukou owau no Iehova.

And cleared out the rebels from you, And those transgressing against Me, I bring them out from the land of their sojournings, And they do not come to the land of Israel, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

39 A oukou hoi, e ka ohana a Iseraela, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E hele oukou, a e malama kela mea keia mea i kona mau kii, a mahope aku hoi, ina aole oukou e hoolohe mai ia'u: aka, mai hoohaumia hou i ko'u inoa, me ka oukou mau haawina a me ko oukou mau akuakii.

And you, O house of Israel, thus said Lord YHWH: Each go, serve his idols, And afterward, if you are not listening to Me [anyway], But you do not defile My holy Name anymore by your gifts, and by your idols.

40 No ka mea, ma ko'u mauna hoano, ma ka mauna kiekie o ka Iseraela, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, malaila e malama mai ai ia'u ka ohana a pau a Iseraela, o ka poe a pau loa ma ka aina; malaila e maliu ai au ia lakou, malaila e kauoha ai au i ka oukou mau mohai, a me na hua mua o ka oukou mau alana, me ko oukou mau mea hoano a pau.

For on My holy mountain, On the mountain of the height of Israel, A declaration of Lord YHWH, All the house of Israel serves Me there, All of it, in the land—I accept them there, And I seek your raised-offerings there, And with the first-fruit of your gifts, With all your holy things.

41 E maliu au ia oukou me ko oukou mea ala ono, aia lawe mai au ia oukou mai ka poe kanaka mai, a e hoakoakoa ia oukou mai loko mai o na aina i hooauhee liilii ia ai oukou; a e hoanoia mai au ma o oukou la i na maka o na lahuikanaka.

With refreshing fragrance I accept you, In My bringing you out from the peoples, And I have assembled you from the lands In which you have been scattered, And I have been sanctified in you Before the eyes of the nations.

42 A e ike oukou owau no Iehova, aia lawe mai au ia oukou iloko o ka aina o ka Iseraela, i ka aina nona i hapai ai au i kuu lima e haawi aku ia i ko oukou poe makua.

And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My bringing you to the ground of Israel, To the land that I lifted up My hand To give it to your fathers,

43 A malaila e hoomanao ai oukou i ko oukou mau aoao, a me ka oukou mau hana a pau, na mea i haumia ai oukou; a e hoowahawaha oukou ia oukou iho i ko oukou mau maka, no na mea ino a pau a oukou i hana aku ai.

And you have remembered your ways there, And all your doings, In which you have been defiled, And you have been loathsome in your own faces, For all your evils that you have done.

44 A e ike no oukou owau no Iehova, aia hana au me oukou no ko'u inoa, aole mamuli o ko oukou mau aoao hewa, aole hoi e like me ka oukou hana hewa ana, e ka ohana a Iseraela, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My dealing with you for My Name’s sake, Not according to your evil ways, And according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”

45 Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

46 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hookupono oe i kou wahi maka i ke kukuluhema, a e hoolei aku i kau olelo ma ka aoao hema e wanana ku e oe i ka ululaau o ka aina hema:

“Son of man, set your face the way of Teman, and prophesy to the south, and prophesy to the forest of the field—the south;

47 A e olelo aku i ka ululaau o ke kukuluhema, E hoolohe i ka olelo a Iehova, no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoi, e kukuni au i ke ahi iloko ou, a e hoopau ae ia i na laau maka a pau iloko ou, a me na laau maloo a pau; a o ka lapalapa e lapalapa ana aole loa ia e kinaiia, a e wela ilaila na wahi maka a pau mai ke kukuluhema a ke kukuluakau.

and you have said to the forest of the south, Hear a word of YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am kindling a fire in you, And it has devoured every moist tree in you, and every dry tree, The glowing flames are not quenched, And all faces from south to north have been burned by it.

48 A e ike no ka io a pau, na'u na Iehova ia i kukuni, aole no ia e kinaiia.

And all flesh has seen, that I, YHWH, have kindled it—it is not quenched.”

49 I aku la hoi au, Auwe, e Iehova ka Haku ke olelo nei lakou no'u, Aole anei ia e olelo i na olelo nane?

And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, They are saying of me, Is he not using allegories?”
