Ezekiela 21
1 A LAILA hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hooku oe i kou wahi maka ia Ierusalema, a hoolei aku i kau olelo ma ke kupono i ua wahi hoano, a e wanana ku e i ka aina o ka Iseraela,
Son of man, direct thy face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
3 A e olelo aku i ka aina o ka Iseraela, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Ke ka e nei au ia oe, a e unuhi ae au i kuu pahikaua mailoko ae o kona wahi, a e oki aku au mai ou aku nei i ka mea pono a me ka mea hewa.
And say to the land of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will be against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath; and I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
4 A no ko'u oki ana aku mai ou aku nei i ka mea pono a me ka mea hewa, nolaila e hele aku ko'u pahikaua maiioko aku o kona wahi e ku e i na io a pau, mai ke kukuluhema, a ke kukuluakau;
But because I shall have cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked: therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north;
5 I ike ka io a pau, ua unuhi ae wau o Iehova i kuu pahikaua mailoko ae o kona wahi; aole ia e hoi hou iho.
That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
6 Nolaila e auwe oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, me ka hai ana o kou puhaka, a me ke kaumaha loa e auwe ai imua o ko lakou mau maka.
But thou, son of man, do thou sigh: as though with broken loins, and with bitterness [of grief] shalt thou sigh before their eyes.
7 Eia hoi, i ko lakou ninau ana ia oe, No ke aha la oe e auwe nei? e olelo aku oe, No ka louo; no ka mea, e hiki mai ana no; a e hehee no na naau a pau, a e pau no na lima i ka nawaliwali, a e maule no hoi na kuli a pau me he wai la: no ka mea, eia hoi, e hele mai no ia, a e hookoia, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say, For the report, because it cometh, when every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be made feeble, and every spirit shall become faint, and all knees shall be changed into water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord Eternal.
8 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
9 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e wanana aku oe, a e olelo aku, Ke i mai nei ka Haku penei; E ka pahikaua, ua hookalaia ka pahikaua, ua hoohualiia:
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus hath said the Lord, Say, The sword, the sword is sharpened, and also polished;
10 Ua hookalaia i luku nui aku ia; a ua hoohualiia ia e olinolino ia: he pono no anei ia kakou ke hana lealea? Ua hoowahawaha no ke kookoo o ka'u keiki i na kumu laau a pau.
In order to make a thorough slaughter is it sharpened; in order that it may glitter is it polished: how can we now rejoice, [when] the rod which reacheth my son excelleth in hardness every tree?
11 Ua haawiia mai no ia e hoohualiia ia i lawelaweia; ua hookalaia keia pahikaua, a ua hoohualiia e haawiia iloko o ka lima o ka mea luku.
And he hath given it to be polished, to make it fit to grasp it in the hand: it is the sword which is sharpened, and it is polished, to place it into the hand of the slayer.
12 E auwe ae, a e aoa ae, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, no ka mea, maluna auanei ia o ko'u poe kanaka, maluna no ia o na'lii a pau o ka Iseraela; ua haawi pu ia lakou i ka pahikaua me ko'u poe kanaka; nolaila e hahau oe maluna iho o kou uha.
Cry aloud and wail, O son of man; for it cometh against my people, it cometh against all the princes of Israel; brought together for the sword are they with my people: therefore strike [thy hand] upon thy thigh.
13 No ka mea, ho hoao ana keia, a heaha la hoi ke hoowahawaha aku ia i ke kookoo? aole e koe aku ia, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
For a purification taketh place: and what if the irresistible rod will also come? [my son] would not be able to exist, saith the Lord Eternal.
14 E wanana hoi oe, e ko keiki a ke kanaka, a e pai pu i kou mau lima, i ekolu hoi ka papalua ana o ka pahikaua, he pahikaua a ka poe i lukuia: o ka pahikaua ia a ka poe kanaka nui i pepehiia ka i hoopuni ia.
But thou, son of man, prophesy, and strike thy hands together, and let “The sword” be repeated the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great that are slain, which lieth in wait for them everywhere.
15 Ua hoonoho au i ka maka o ka pahikaua e ku e i ko lakou mau ipuka a pau i maule ka naau, a i hoonuiia ka hiolo ana: Auwe ua hoohualiia ia, ua unuhiia uo ka luku ana.
In order to make timid the heart, and to multiply the stumbling-blocks, do I bring the howling of the sword against all their gates: ah! it is made bright, it is made thin-edged for the slaughter.
16 E hui pu, e hele oe ma kekahi aoao, ma ka lima akau paha ma ka lima hema paha, ma kahi i ku pono ai kou alo.
Gather up thy strength, go to the right hand, direct thyself, go to the left, whithersoever thy edge is turned.
17 Owau no kekahi e pai pu i ko'u mau lima, a e hoomaha au i ko'u ukiuki: na'u na Iehova i olelo iho.
And I also, —I will strike my hands together, and I will cause my fury to be assuaged: I the Lord have spoken it.
18 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
19 O oe hoi, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoomaopopo oe i na ala elua, e hele mai ai ka pahikaua a ke alii o Babulona; e hele pu mai laua a elua mai ka aina hookahi mai; e koho oe i kekahi wahi, e koho ma ke poo o ke ala e hiki ai i ke kulanakauhale.
But thou, O son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; out of one land shall both of them come forth: and select a place; at the head of the way to a city do thou select it.
20 Hoomaopopo i ke ala e hiki mai ai ka pahikaua i Raba no na mamo a Amona, a ia Iuda iloko o Ierusalema ka mea i paa i ka paia.
A way shalt thou appoint, that the sword may come against Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon, and [the other] against Judah [dwelling] in Jerusalem the fortified.
21 No ka mea, ua ku iho la ke alii o Babulona ma ka mahele ana o ke alanui, ma ke poo o na ala elua, e kilokilo ai; hoonaueue oia i kana mau pua, kukakuka no ia me na kii, ua nana no ia i ke akepaa.
For the king of Babylon hath halted at the parting of the way, at the commencement of the two ways, to use divination: he shaketh the arrows, he consulteth with images, he looketh at the liver.
22 Ma kona lima akau ke kilokilo ana no Ierusalema, e hoonoho ai i na hipa kane wawahi, e hoohamama i ka waha no ka luku ana, e hookiekie hoi i ka leo i ka hooho ana, e hoonoho ku e i na hipa kane wawahi ma na ipuka, e hookumu hoi i ka puu, a kukulu hoi i ka pakaua.
At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to erect battering-rams, to open the mouth with the [cry for] murder, to lift up the voice with shouting, to place battering-rams against the gates, to cast up a mound, and to build works of attack.
23 E lilo hoi ia me he kilokilo wahahee ana i ko lakou maka, i na mea i hoohiki ai ma ka berita ia lakou; aka, e hoomanao oia i ka hewa e paa lakou i ka hopuia.
And it will appear unto them as a false divination in their eyes, to those that had sworn oaths; but he will bring to remembrance their iniquity, that they may be caught.
24 Nolaila, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; No ka mea, no oukou i hoomanaoia'i ko oukou hewa, i ka hoikeia o ko oukou lawehala ana, i ikeia hoi ka oukou hana ana a pau, no ko oukou hoomanaoia'e, e hopuia oe me ka lima.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because ye have brought your iniquity to remembrance, as your transgressions are discovered, so that your sins do appear in all your doings: because ye are thus brought to remembrance, ye shall be caught by [his] hand.
25 A o oe, e ke alii aia hewa o ka Iseraela, ua hiki mai kona la e oki ai ka hewa.
And thou, death-deserving wicked one, prince of Israel, whose day is come, at the time of the iniquity of the end, —
26 Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E lawe oe i ka lei alii, a e hemo hoi ke korona: aole ia mea hookahi; e hookiekie ae i ka mea haahaa, a e hoohaahaa i ka mea kiekie.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Remove the mitre, and take off the crown: this shall not be always so; exalt him that is low, and make him low that is high.
27 Na'u no e hookahuli, hookahuli, hookahuli ia mea; a e ole ia, a hiki mai ka mea ia ia ka pono, a e haawi au ia nona.
Overthrown, overthrown, overthrown will I render it: also this shall not belong [to any one], until he come whose right it is, and I will give it him.
28 A o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e wanana oe a e olelo aku no na mamo a Amona, a me ko lakou hoino, e olelo hoi oe, O ka pahikaua, na unuhiia ka pahikaua; ua hoohualiia no ka luku ana, e hoopau ai no kona olinolmo ana.
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning the children of 'Ammon, and concerning their reproach: even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn; for the slaughter is it polished, to destroy, that it may continue to glitter;
29 I ko lakou ike ana i ka mea hoopunipuni nou, a i ko lakou kilokilo ana i ka wahahee, e haawi ia oe maluna o na a-i o ka poe i pepehiia, o ka poe hewa, ua hiki mai ko lakou la e oki ai ko lakou hewa.
While they foresee unto thee falsehood, while they divine unto thee lies, to lay thee by the necks of the slain wicked, whose day is come, at the time of the iniquity of the end.
30 E hoihoi anei au ia mea iloko o kona wahi? Ma kahi i hanaia'i oe, a ma ka aina i hanauia'i oe, malaila au e hoopai aku ai ia oe:
Put back [the sword] into its sheath! in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy origin, will I judge thee.
31 E ninini aku hoi au i kuu inaina maluua ou, a e puhi aku au ia oe me ke ahi o ko'u huhu ana, a e haawi aku au ia oe iloko o ka lima o na kanaka lokoino, a he akamai i ka luku aku.
And I will pour out over thee my indignation, with the fire of my wrath will I blow against thee, and I will give thee up into the hand of brutish men, skilful in destroying.
32 E lilo no oe i wahie no ke ahi, mawaenakonu hoi o ka aina kou koko; aole hoi oe e hoomanao hou ia; no ka mea, na'u na Iehova ia i olelo ai.
To the fire shalt thou be given to be devoured; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land: thou shalt not be remembered [any more]; for I the Lord have spoken it.
