Ezekiela 24
1 HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i ka iwa o ka makahiki, i ka umi o ka malama, i ka la umi o ka malama, i mai la,
Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e kakau iho oe nou i ka inoa o ka la, o keia la no; ua hiki aku ke alii o Babulona ia Ierusalema i keia la.
“Son of man, write the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.
3 A e hai aku oe i ka olelo nane i ka ohana kipi, a e olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; E kau ae i ka ipu hoolapalapa, e kau ae, a e ninini hoi i ka wai iloko ona.
Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says, “Put the cauldron on the fire. Put it on, and also pour water into it.
4 E hoiliili oe i kona mau apana iloko ona, i na apana maikai hoi a pau, i ka uha, a me ka uhamua; a e hoopiha aku ia ia i na iwi i waeia.
Gather its pieces into it, even every good piece: the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones.
5 E lawe i ka mea waeia o ka ohana, e hoopuu hoi i na iwi malalo iho ona, a e hoolapalapa lea, a e baila aku i na iwi maloko ona.
Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron. Make it boil well. Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.”
6 Nolaila, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Anwe ke kulanakanhale koko, ka ipu baila o kona lepohao maloko, aole hoi i puka aku kona lepo mailoko aku ona! e lawe mai ia iwaho pakahi na apana, aole e haule ka pohaku-pu maluna ona.
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city, to the cauldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece without casting lots for it.
7 No ka mea, aia maloko ona kona koko; ua kau aku oia ia maluna o ka pohaku, aole ia i ninini ia ia ma ka aina e uhi ia ia me ka lepo;
“‘“For the blood she shed is in the middle of her. She set it on the bare rock. She did not pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.
8 I hoopii ae au i ka ukiuki a e hoopai hoi; ua kau aku au i kona koko maluna o ka pohaku i ole ia e uhiia.
That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.”
9 Nolaila, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, Auwe ke kulanakauhale koko! e hana au i ka puu no ke ahi a nui.
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
10 E hoopuu oe i ka wahie maluna, e kuni i ke ahi, e hoopau i ka io, e hookomo pono i ka mea ala, a e hoopauia na iwi i ke ahi.
Heap on the wood. Make the fire hot. Boil the meat well. Make the broth thick, and let the bones be burned.
11 Alaila kau ae ia ia e hakahaka ana maluna o kona mau lanahu i wela ai ke keleawe ona a wela, i hooheheea kona lepo maloko ona, a e pau hoi kona lepo i ke ahi.
Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may be consumed.
12 He mea hooluhi kona lepo, aole hoi i puka aku kona lepo mailoko aku ona; a maloko no o ke ahi kona lepo.
She is weary with toil; yet her great rust, rust by fire, does not leave her.
13 Aia iloko o kou haumia ana ka moe kolohe; a no ko'u hoomaemae ana ia oe, aole nae oe i maemae, nolaila aole oe e maemae e a hookau aku au i ko'u ukiuki a kau ia maluna o'u.
“‘“In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you were not cleansed, you will not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.
14 Na'u na Iehova i olelo, a e hiki mai no ia, a e hana aku no au; aole au e hoi hope, aole au e menemene, aole hoi au e huli ae; o like me kou mau aoao, a mamuli o kau hana ana, e hoopai ai lakou ia oe, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
“‘“I, the LORD, have spoken it. It will happen, and I will do it. I will not go back. I will not spare. I will not repent. According to your ways and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord GOD.’”
15 Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Also the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
16 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ke lawe nei au, ea, i ka mea aloha o kou mau maka ma ka hahau ana; aka, mai kanikau oe, aole hoi e uwe, aole hoi e kahe iho kou waimaka ilalo.
“Son of man, behold, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
17 Waiho i ka auwe ana, aole e kanikau no na mea make, e kau ae hoi i kou papale hainaka maluna ou, a e hawele ae i kou mau kamaa ma kou mau wawae, aole hoi e uhi i kou mau lehulehe, aole hoi e ai i ka berena a kanaka.
Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Do not cover your lips, and do not eat mourner’s bread.”
18 Pela, i olelo aku ai au i kanaka i kakahiaka; a i ke ahiahi, make iho ka'u wahine: a hana aku au i kakahiaka ae e like me ka mea i kanohaia mai ia'u.
So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. So I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 Ninau mai la hoi na kanaka ia'u, Aole anei oe e hai mai ia makou i ke ano o keia mau mea ia makou au e hana nei?
The people asked me, “Will not you tell us what these things mean to us, that you act like this?”
20 Alaila hai aku au ia lakou, Ua hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Then I said to them, “The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
21 E olelo aku i ka ohana a Iseraela, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Eia hoi, e hoohaumia au i kuu keenakapu, i ko oukou mea nani e ikaika ai, ka mea makemake i ko oukou mau maka, o ka mea hoi a ko oukou uhane i menemene ai; a o na keiki kane a me na kaikamahine a oukou i koe ia oukou, e haule lakou i ka pahikaua.
‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will fall by the sword.
22 A e hana oukou me ka'u i hana'i; aole oukou e uhi i ko oukou mau lehelehe, aole hoi o ai i ka berena a kanaka.
You will do as I have done. You will not cover your lips or eat mourner’s bread.
23 A e kau no ko oukou mau papale hainaka maluna o ko oukou mau poo, a me na kamaa o oukou ma ko oukou mau wawae: aole oukou e kanikau, aole hoi e uwe, aka, e olala ae oukou no ko oukou hewa, a e u ae hoi kekahi i kekahi.
Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
24 A ua lilo hoi o Ezekiela i hoailona no oukou; e like me ka mea a pau ana i hana'i e hana aku ai oukou; a hiki mai ia mea, alaila e ike oukou, owau no o Iehova ka Haku.
Thus Ezekiel will be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”’”
25 A o oe hoi, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, aole anei ia i ka la e lawe aku ai au mai o lakou aku i ko lakou ikaika, i ka lakou mea nani e olioli ai, ka mea minamina i ko lakou mau maka, a me ka mea e paulele ai ko lakou manao, na keiki kane a me na kaikamahine a lakou,
“You, son of man, should not it be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart—their sons and their daughters—
26 A o ka mea pakele ia la, e hele mai no ia ia oe, e hookomo i ka lono i kou pepeiao e lohe ai?
that in that day he who escapes will come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
27 Ia la, e weheia kou waha i ka mea i pakele, a e olelo oe, aole hoi e kuli nou aku; a e lilo oe i hoailona no lakou; a e ike no lakou owau no Iehova ka Haku.
In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you will speak and be no more mute. So you will be a sign to them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
