Ezekiela 21
1 A LAILA hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
The LORD’s word came to 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, set your face towards Jerusalem, and proclaim towards the sanctuaries, and prophesy against Eretz-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.
Tell Eretz-Israel, ‘The LORD says: “Behold, I am against you, and will draw my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you 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;
Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore my sword will go 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.
All flesh will know that I, the LORD, have drawn my sword out of its sheath. It will 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.
“Therefore sigh, you son of man. You shall sigh before their eyes with a broken heart and with bitterness.
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.
It shall be, when they ask you, ‘Why do you sigh?’ that you shall say, ‘Because of the news, for it comes! Every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord GOD.’”
8 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
The LORD’s word came to 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, ‘The LORD says: “A sword! A sword! It 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.
It is sharpened that it may make a slaughter. It is polished that it may be as lightning. Should we then make mirth? The rod of my son condemns 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.
It is given to be polished, that it may be handled. The sword is sharpened. Yes, it is polished to give it into the hand of the killer.”’
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 and wail, son of man; for it is on my people. It is on all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. Therefore beat your 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 there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord GOD.
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.
“You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together. Let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the fatally wounded. It is the sword of the great one who is fatally wounded, which enters into their rooms.
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.
I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied. Ah! It is made as lightning. It is pointed for 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 yourselves together. Go to the right. Set yourselves in array. Go to the left, wherever your face is set.
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.
I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest. I, the LORD, have spoken it.”
18 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
The LORD’s word came to me again, 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.
“Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come. They both will come out of one land, and mark out a place. Mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
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.
You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah 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 stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shook the arrows back and forth. He consulted the teraphim. He looked in 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.
In his right hand was the lot for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, and to build forts.
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.
It will be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.
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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have caused your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you will be taken with the hand.
25 A o oe, e ke alii aia hewa o ka Iseraela, ua hiki mai kona la e oki ai ka hewa.
“‘You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day has come, in 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.
the Lord GOD says: “Remove the turban, and take off the crown. This will not be as it was. Exalt that which is low, and humble that which 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.
I will overturn, overturn, overturn it. This also will be no more, until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it.”’
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.
“You, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘The Lord GOD says this concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach: “A sword! A sword is drawn! It is polished for the slaughter, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
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 see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in 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:
Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, I will judge you.
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.
I will pour out my indignation on you. I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath. I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
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.
You will be for fuel to the fire. Your blood will be in the middle of the land. You will be remembered no more; for I, the LORD, have spoken it.”’”
