Ezekiela 28
1 HIKI mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe i ke alii o Turo, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; No ka mea, ua hookiekie kou naau, a ua olelo oe, He akua no wau, ke noho nei au ma kahi noho o ke Akua, iwaena o ke kai; he kanaka no nae oe, aole he akua, ina e hoonoho oe i kou naau me ka naau o ke Akua.
“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre this is what the Lord God says: You are so proud of yourself, saying, ‘I'm a god! I sit on my throne like a god in the middle of the sea.’ But you're only a man. You're not a god, even though you think you are one.
3 Aia hoi, ua oi aku kou akamai mamua o ke akamai o Daniela; aole hiki ia lakou ke huna ia oe i kekahi mea huna.
You even think you're wiser than Daniel and there's no secret that's hidden from you!
4 Me kou akamai a me kou naauao, ua loaa ia oe ka waiwai nui, a ua loaa ia oe ke gula a me ke kala iloko o kou waiwai nui.
Yes, you have used your wisdom and cleverness to make yourself rich, collecting plenty of gold and silver for your treasury.
5 Ma kou akamai nui, a ma kou kalepa ana ua hoonui oe i kou waiwai nui, a ua kiekie ae kou naau no ka nui o kou waiwai.
You became wealthy through your superb trading skills, but your wealth only made you proud.
6 Nolaila, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, No kou hoonoho ana i kou naau e like me ka naau o ke Akua;
So this is what the Lord God says: Because you think that you're a god,
7 Nolaila, ea, e lawe mai au i na malihini maluna ou, na mea weliweli o na lahuikanaka; a e unuhi ae lakou i ka lakou mau pahikaua e ku e i ka nani o kou akamai, a e hoohaumia lakou i kou alohilohi.
watch as I bring foreigners to attack you. They are more cruel than any other nation. They will use their swords to destroy you and your wonderful wisdom; they will humble your proud glory.
8 E lawe lakou ia oe ilalo i ka lua, a e make oe i ka make ana o ka poe i pepehiia iwaena o na kai.
They will drag you down into the grave. You will die horribly out there in the sea.
9 E olelo anei oe imua o ka mea nana oe i pepehi, Owau no ke Akua? aka, he kanaka auanei oe aole he Akua, iloko o ka lima o ka mea nana oe i pepehi.
Are you still going to claim, ‘I'm a god,’ to those who are killing you? You'll just be another human victim, not a god, in the eyes of your attackers.
10 E make auanei oe i ka make ana o ka poe okipoepoe ole ia ma ka lima o na malihini; no ka mea, na'u no i olelo, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
You will be killed like some vile person by these foreigners. I myself have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
11 Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
12 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoomaka oe i ke kanikau no ke alii o Turo, a e olelo aku ia ia, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; He apo lima maikai loa oe, piha i ke akamai, a hemolele hoi i ka nani.
“Son of man, sing a funeral song for the king of Tyre and tell him this is what the Lord God says: Once you were complete and perfect, full of wisdom and flawless in beauty.
13 Maloko aku la oe i Edena ka mahinaai a ke Akua; o na pohaku maemae a pau oia ka mea uhi ia oe, o ka saredio, ke topasa, a me ke daimana, ka berila, ka onika, a me ka iasepa, ka sapeira, a me ka emerala, ka bareka, a me ke gula: o ka hana ana o kau mau pahu kani, a me kau mau mea hookiokio, ua hoomakaukauia ia iloko ou i kou la i hanau ai.
You were there in Eden, God's garden. You wore all kinds of precious stones: carnelian, topaz, and amethyst; beryl, onyx, and jasper; lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald. They were placed in gold mountings and settings using skilled craftsmanship, and were made on the day when you were created.
14 O oe no ke keruba e hohola ana a e uhi ana: ua hoonoho iho au ia oe maluna o ka mauna hoano o ke Akua; mawaenakonu hoi o na pohaku ahi i holoholo ai oe.
I gave you the position of guardian cherub, and I anointed you. You lived on God's holy mountain and you walked among the stones of fire.
15 Ua hemolele no oe i kou mau aoao mai kou la i hanaia'i, a loaa ka hewa iloko ou.
You were innocent in everything you did from the day you were created until you were found to be doing evil.
16 Ma ka nui loa o kou waiwai kalepa, ua hoopaapu lakou i ko waena ou me ka haunaele, a ua lawehala oe; nolaila, e hoolei aku au ia oe mo he mea haumia la mai ka mauna aku o ke Akua, a e luku aku au ia oe, e ke keruba e uhi ana mai waena aku o na pohaku ahi.
You were so busy with all your trading schemes that they destroyed you inside, leading you to sin and filling you with violence. So I sent you away in disgrace from God's mountain, and I removed you from your position as guardian cherub from your place among the stones of fire.
17 Ua hookiekie kou naau no kou nani, ua hoohaumia oe i kou akamai no kou alohilohi ana; e kiola iho au ia oe i ka lepo, e hoomoe aku au ia oe imua o na'lii e nana mai ai lakou ia oe.
You became proud because of your beauty, you ruined your wisdom because you thought you were so wonderful. So I threw you down to the ground and I made sure kings saw what happened to you.
18 Ua hoohaumia oe i kou mau wahi hoano ma ka nui loa o kou mau hewa, ma ka hewa o kou kalepa ana; nolaila, e lawe mai au i ko ahi mai waenakonu ou, a e hoopau aku ia oe; a e hoolilo au ia oe i lehu ma ka honua imua o na maka o na mea a pau o ka poe e nana aku ia oe.
By all your sins and your dishonest trading you have made your sanctuaries unclean. So I had fire come from inside you, and it burned you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground as everybody there watched.
19 O ka poe a pau i ike ia oe iwaena o na kanaka, e makau lakou nou; e lilo no oe i mea e weliweli ai; aole loa aku hoi oe.
All who know you among the nations are horrified at what happened to you. Disaster has brought you down and you're finished forever.”
20 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
21 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hooku i kou wahi maka e ku e ia Zidona, a e wanana ku e ia ia,
“Son of man, face towards Sidon and prophesy against her.
22 A e olelo aku, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoi, ke ku e nei au ia oe, e Zidona, a e hoonaniia mai au iwaenakonu ou; a e ike lakou, owau no Iehova, aia hoopai aku au maloko ona, a e hoanoia mai hoi iloko ona.
Tell them this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, Sidon, for I'm condemning you, and I will be vindicated by what happens to you. People will know that I am the Lord when I punish her and show my holy character through her experience.
23 No ka mea, e hoouna'ku au i ka mai ahulau iloko ona, a me ke koko iloko o kona mau alanui; a e haule ka poe eha iwaenakonu ona i ka pahikaua maluna ona ma na aoao a puni; a e ike lakou, owau no Iehova.
I'm going to send a disease to plague her, and have people killed in her streets. Those who are killed will fall inside the city as the enemy attacks with swords from every side. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
24 Aole loa aku hoi ka mea ooi i ka ohana a Iseraela, aole hoi ke kakalaioa e kaumaha ai o ka poe a pau e hoopuni ana ia lakou, ka poe e hoowahawaha ia lakou; a e ike lakou owau no Iehova ka Haku.
The people of Israel will no longer have to put up with these people who are thorns in their side, painful brambles and sharp thorns who treat Israel with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
25 Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, Aia pau ia'u ka ohana a Iseraela i ka hoouluuluia mai waena mai o ua lahuikanaka i hoopuehuiai lakou, a e hoanoia mai au ma o lakou la, imua o na maka o na lahuikanaka, aiaila e noho lakou ma ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai i kuu kauwa ia Iakoba.
This is what the Lord God says: When I bring back the people of Israel from the nations where they've been scattered. I will show my holy character through them as everyone watches. Then they will live in their own country, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 A e noho maluhia lakou malaila, a e kukulu lakou i na hale, a e kanu i na malawaina; oia, e noho lakou me ka makau ole, aia hoopai au i ka poe a pau i hoowahawaha ia lakou a puni; a e ike lakou owau no Iehova ko lakou Akua.
They will live there in safety, building houses and planting vineyards. They will live there in safety when I punish all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
