< Ezekiela 22 >

1 HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 Ano hoi, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoohewa anei oe, e hoohewa oe i ke kulanakauhale koko? Oia, e hoike no oe ia ia i kona mau mea a pau i inainaia.
Punish, punish, son of man, the city of blood, and show her all her abominations, and say,
3 E olelo aku oe, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Huku, penei; Ke hookahe nei ke kulanakauhale i ke koko iwaenakonu ona, i hiki mai kona manawa, a ua hana oia i na akua kii e ku e ia ia iho, e hoohaumia ia ia iho.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: O city that sheddest blood in the midst of thee, that thy time may come, and makest idols to defile thyself!
4 I ke koko au i hookahe ai, ua hewa oe, a ma na akua kii au i hana'i, ua hoohaumia oe ia oe iho; a ua hookokoke no oe i kou mau la, a ua hiki mai hoi i kou mau makahiki; nolaila i hoolilo aku ai au ia oe i mea e hoinoia e na lahuikanaka, a i mea e henehene ai ko na aina a pau.
Through the blood which thou sheddest thou bringest guilt upon thyself, and through the idols which thou makest thou pollutest thyself, and thou causest thy days to draw near, and comest to thy years. Therefore do I make thee a reproach to the nations, and a derision to all countries.
5 O ka poe kokoke mai a me ka poe mamao aku ia oe, e henehene no lakou ia oe ka mea inoa haumia, a ua hoouluhua nui ia.
Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee as infamous, full of confusion.
6 Eia hoi, o na'lii o ka Iseraela, kela mea keia mea iloko ou ma ka hookahe koko lakou me ko lakou ikaika.
Behold the princes of Israel are engaged every one according to his strength within thee to shed blood.
7 O ka makuakane a me ka makuwahine ka lakou i hoowahawaha ai iloko ou; ma ka hooluhihewa i hana aku ai lakou i ka malihini iloko ou; a maloko ou i hoopilikia ai lakou i na mea makua ole a me na wahine kanemake.
In thee they set light by father and mother; in thee are they guilty of oppression to the stranger; in thee do they oppress the fatherless and the widow.
8 Ua hoowahawaha oe i ko'u mau mea hoano, a ua hoohaumia hoi oe i ko'u mau Sabati.
Thou hast despised my holy things, and profaned my sabbaths.
9 Maloko ou na kanaka holoholo olelo e hookahe i ke koko; ua ai hoi lakou maluna o na mauna iloko ou; a iwaenakonu ou ua hana lakou ma ka moe kolohe.
In thee are men who carry tales, that they may shed blood; in thee do they eat upon the mountains; in the midst of thee do they commit lewdness.
10 Maloko ou, ua wehe lakou i kahi huna o ko lakou makuakane; a maloko ou ua hoohaahaa lakou i ka wahine i hookaawaleia'e no ka heekoko.
In thee doth the son uncover the father's nakedness; in thee do they lie with a woman in her uncleanness.
11 Ua hana kekahi i ka mea inainaia me ka wahine a kona hoalauna, a ua hoohaumia kekahi i kana hunona wahine ma ka moo kolohe; a ua hoohaahaa kekahi iloko ou i kona kaikuwahine, he kaikamahine a kona makuakane.
And one committeth abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another, with incestuous lewdness, defileth his daughter-in-law; and in thee another lieth with his sister, his father's daughter.
12 Maloko ou ua lawe lakou i na kipe e hookahe i ke koko; ua lawe oe i ke kuala a me ka uku panee, a ua loaa ia oe me ka makee, o ka kou mau hoalauna, ma ka hooluhihewa, a ua hoopoina mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
In thee do they take a reward to shed blood. Thou takest usury and increase, and thou hast enriched thyself from thy neighbor by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
13 Nolaila ea, ua pai au i kuu mau lima i kou waiwai alunu i loaa ia oe, a me kou koko i hookaheia iwaenakonu ou.
Therefore, behold, I have smitten my hands together at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at the blood which hath been shed in the midst of thee.
14 E hiki anei i kou naau ke hoomanawanui, a e ikaika anei kou mau lima i na la e lalau aku ai au ia oe? Na'u na Iehova i olelo, a na'u no ia o hana.
Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the day when I shall deal with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and will do it.
15 E lulu aku au ia oe iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e hooleilei aku ia oe iwaena o na aina, a e hoopau aku i kou haumia mailoko aku ou.
I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thine impurity out of thee;
16 A e lawe oe i kou hooilina iloko ou iho, imua i ke alo o na lahuikanaka, a e ike oe owau no Iehova.
and thou shalt through thyself be profaned before the eyes of the nations, and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
17 Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
18 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua lilo ka ohana a Iseraela i lepo ia'u nei; o lakou a pau he keleawe, he piuta, he hao, a he kepaupoka, iloko o ka umu hoohehee; he lepo no hoi o ke kala.
Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross to me; all of them are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
19 Nolaila, wahi a Iehova ka Haku; no ka lilo ana o oukou a pau i lepo, nolaila, ea, e hoakoakoa au ia oukou iwaenakonu o Ierusalema;
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are all of you become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20 E like me ko lakou houluulu ana i ke kala, a me ke keleawe, a me ka hao, a me ke kepaupoka a me ka piuta iwaenakonu o ka umu hoohehee, e puhi i ke ahi maluna olaila, e hoohehee iho; pela e houluulu ai au, me ko'u huhu a me ko'u ukiuki, a e waiho iho, a e hoohehee ia oukou.
As men gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it, so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury, and I will place you there and melt you.
21 Oia, e houluulu au ia oukou, a e puhi maluna o oukou iloko o ke ahi o ko'u ukiuki, a pau oukou i ka hooheheeia iwaenakonu ona.
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
22 Me he kala la i hooheheeia iwaena konu o ka umu hoohehee, pela oukou e hooheheeia'i iloko ona; a e ike oukou ua ninini aku au i ko'u huhu, maluna o oukou.
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out my fury upon you.
23 Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
24 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe ia ia, O oe no ka aina i waele ole ia, a i ua ole ia i ka la i huhu ai.
Son of man, say to her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
25 He ohumu kipi o kona mau kaula iwaenakonu ona, e like me ka liona e uwo ana, e haehae ana i ka mea pio; ua ai lakou i na uhane, ua lawe lakou i ke kala, a me na mea makamae; a ua hoonui lakou nona i na wahinekanemake iwaena konu ona.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of her; like a roaring lion tearing the prey, they devour the lives of men; they take possession of treasures, and precious things, and make many widows in the midst of her.
26 Ua hana ino kona mau kahuna pule i kuu kanawai, a ua hoohaumia lakou i kuu mea hoano; aole lakou i hookaawale iwaena o na mea hoano a me na mea haumia, aole hoi i hoakaka lakou iwaena o ka mea maemae a me ka mea maemae ole, ua huna hoi lakou i ko lakou mau maka i ko'u mau Sabati, a ua hoohaumiaia wau iwaena o lakou.
Her priests violate my law, and profane my holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and profane, and show not the difference between the clean and the unclean; and they hide their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 O kona mau alii, iwaenakonu ona, ua like me na ilio hihiu hae e haehae ana i ka mea pio, e hookahe i ke koko, a e luku hoi i na uhane e loaa ia lakou ka waiwai alunu.
Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves tearing the prey. They shed blood, they destroy life, that they may get gain.
28 Ua hamo aku kona mau kaula ia lakou me ka puna ikaika ole, e nana ana i ka mea lapuwale, a e wanana ana i na mea wahahee no lakou, e olelo ana, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei, aole nae i olelo Iehova.
Her prophets daub for them with untempered mortar, seeing falsehood, and divining to them, saying, “Thus saith the Lord Jehovah,” when Jehovah hath not spoken.
29 Ua hooluhihewa na kanaka o ka aina, a kaili wale i ka mea kaili, ua hookaumaha lakou i ka mea haahaa, a me ka mea nele; oia, ua hookaumaha lakou i ka malihini ma ka pono ole.
The people of the land are guilty of oppression, and practise robbery, and distress the poor and needy; yea, they oppress the stranger, and have no justice.
30 Imi aku la au i kahi kanaka iwaena o lakou e hana hou i ka pa, a e ku ma kahi naha imua o ko'u alo no ka aina, i ole au e luku aku ia ia; aole hoi i loaa ia'u.
I have sought for a man among them that should make a wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I might not destroy it; but I found none.
31 Nolaila ninini aku la au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou, ua hoopau au ia lakou me ke ahi o ko'u huhu; o ko lakou aoao ponoi ka'u i hoopai aku ai maluna o ko lakou mau poo, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
Therefore will I pour out my indignation upon them; I will consume them with the fire of my wrath; I will bring their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
