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,

Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, and said:

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, even of this same day. The king of Babylon draweth near 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 say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Set on a caldron, set 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 the pieces thereof 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 make under it a pile for the bones, and make it boil well, that the bones therein may be seethed.

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.

Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the city of blood, to the caldron in which is rust, and whose rust goeth not out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon 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 blood is in the midst of her; upon the bare rock hath she shed it; she poured it not upon the ground, that it might be covered 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.

To cause fury and to take vengeance, I have set the blood shed by her upon the bare rock, that it might 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 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the city of blood! Now will I make the pile for fire 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 wood, kindle the fire, cook the flesh, put in spices, 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 upon the coals, that its brass may be hot and may burn, and that its impurity may be dissolved in it, and its rust 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.

It hath wearied me with labors, yet its thick rust goeth not from it; its rust remaineth in the midst of the fire.

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 thy filthiness is gross wickedness, because, when I would have cleansed thee, thou wouldst not be cleansed. Thou shalt not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have quieted my fury toward thee.

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, Jehovah, have spoken it; it shall come to pass, and I will do it. I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent. According to thy ways and according to thy doings shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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

Also the word of Jehovah 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 take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with one blow; yet thou shalt not mourn, nor weep, nor shall thy 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 thou in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy head-dress upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet; cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of wretched men.

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 spake to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening; and 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?

And the people said to me, Wilt thou not tell us what those things which thou doest denote to us?

20 Alaila hai aku au ia lakou, Ua hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

Then I answered them: The word of Jehovah came to me and said:

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.

Say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your confidence, the desire of your eyes, and the longing of your souls; and your sons and daughters that are left to you shall 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.

And ye shall do as I have done; ye shall not cover your mouths, nor eat the bread of wretched men;

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.

and your head-dresses shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet; ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and moan one to 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 shall be to you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do, when this cometh; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

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,

And thou, son of man, behold, in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the longing of their souls, their sons and their daughters, in that day shall one

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 is escaped come to thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine 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 shall thy mouth be opened to him that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb; and thou shalt be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
