Ezekiela 3
1 OLELO mai la hoi oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e ai oe i ka mea i loaa ia oe; e ai oe i keia owili, a e hele e olelo i ka ohana a Iseraela.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat what you find here. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the house of Israel.”
2 A oaka ae la kuu waha, a hanai mai la oia ia'u i kela owili.
So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.
3 A i mai la oia, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hanai oe i kou opu, a e hoopiha i kou mau naau i keia owili a'u e haawi nei ia oe. Alaila ai iho la au, a ua like ia iloko o kuu waha me ka meli i ka ono.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 Olelo mai la hoi oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hele oe i ka ohana a Iseraela, a e olelo aku i ka'u mau olelo ia lakou.
Then He said to me, “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak My words to them.
5 No ka mea, aole oe i hoounaia i kanaka lehelehe hohonu, me ka olelo paakiki, oka, i ka ohana a Iseraela;
For you are not being sent to a people of unfamiliar speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—
6 Aole i na lahuikanaka he nui, me ka lehelehe hohonu, a me ka olelo paakiki, a maopopo ole ia oe ka lakou mau huaolelo. Ina i hoouna aku au ia oe io lakou la, ina ua lohe lakou ia oe.
not to the many peoples of unfamiliar speech and difficult language whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
7 Aka, aole e hoolohe ka ohana a Iseraela ia oe, no ka mea, aole lakou e hoolohe mai ia'u: no ka mea, ua pau ka ohana a Iseraela i ka hookano a me ka naau paakiki.
But the house of Israel will be unwilling to listen to you, since they are unwilling to listen to Me. For the whole house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted.
8 Eia hoi, ua hooolea au i kou wahi maka e ku e i ko lakou mau wahi maka, a me kou lae e ku e i ko lakou mau lae.
Behold, I will make your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.
9 Me he daimana la a oi aku ka oolea mamua o ko ka pohakupaea i hana aku au i kou lae: mai makau aku ia lakou, mai pilihua hoi oe i ko lakou helehelena, no ka mea, he ohana kipi lakou.
I will make your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or dismayed at their presence, even though they are a rebellious house.”
10 Olelo mai la hoi oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, o na huaolelo a pau a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe, oia kau e hookomo i kou naau, a e hoolohe hoi me kou mau pepeiao.
“Son of man,” He added, “listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart.
11 E eu oe e hele aku i ka poe pio i na keiki a kou poe kauaka, a e olelo aku ia lakou, a e hai aku ia lakou, Penei ka olelo ana a Iehova ka Haku; ina paha e lohe lakou, a ina paha e lohe ole lakou.
Go to your people, the exiles; speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.”
12 Alaila kaikai ae la ka uhane ia'u, a lohe iho la au mahope iho o'u i ka leo me he kamumu o ka hele nui ana la, e i ana, E hoomaikaiia'e ka nani o Iehova mai kona wahi ae;
Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me: ‘Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His dwelling place!’
13 A me ke kamumu ana o na eheu o na mea ola i hoopa aku kekahi i kekahi, a me ke kamumu pu ana o na huila me lakou, a me ke kamumu ana o ka hele nui ana.
It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great rumbling sound.
14 Kaikai ae la hoi ka uhane ia'u, a lawe aku ia'u, a hele au me ke kaumaha loa a me ka wela o ko'u uhane; aka, ua kau ikaika mai ka lima o Iehova maluna iho o'u.
So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.
15 Alaila hele au i ka poe pio ma Telabiba, e noho ana ma ka muliwai Kebara, a noho iho la ma ko lakou wahi i noho ai, a noho pilihua no au malaila iwaena o lakou i na la ehiku.
I came to the exiles at Tel-abib who dwelt by the River Kebar. And for seven days I sat where they sat and remained there among them, overwhelmed.
16 Eia keia, i ka pau ana o na la ehiku, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
17 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua hoolilo au ia oe i kiai no ka ohana a Iseraela; nolaila e hoolohe i ka olelo ma kuu waha, a e ao aku ia lakou, na'u aku.
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, give them a warning from Me.
18 Aia olelo aku au i ke kanaka hewa, E make io no oe; a ao ole aku oe ia ia, aole olelo ia ia e ao ia ia e haalele i kona aoao hewa, e hoola ia ia; e make no ua mea hewa la iloko o kona hewa; aka, e hoopai no au i kona koko ma kou lima.
If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him or speak out to warn him from his wicked way to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, and I will hold you responsible for his blood.
19 Aka, ina ao aku oe i ke kanaka hewa, aole nae ia i huli, mai kana hana hewa ana, aole hoi mai kona aoao hewa mai, e make no ia iloko o kona hewa; aka, ua hoopakele oe i kou uhane iho.
But if you warn a wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness and his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved yourself.
20 Eia hoi, ina i huli ae ke kanaka pono mai kona pono ae, a hana hoi ma ka hewa, a waiho iho au i ka mea e hina ai imua ona, e make no ia; no kau ao ole aku ia ia, iloko o kona hewa e make ai no ia, aole hoi e hoomanaoia kona pono ana i hana'i: aka, e hoopai aku au i kona koko ma kou lima.
Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood.
21 Aka, ina i ao aku oe i ka mea pono, i ole e hana hewa, a hana hewa ole hoi ka mea pono, e ola io no ia, no ka mea, ua aoia'ku ai: a ua hoopakele hoi oe i kou uhane iho.
But if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he heeded your warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
22 A kau mai la ka lima o Iehova maluna o'u malaila; a olelo mai la oia ia'u, E ka oe iluna e hele aku i ka papu, a malaila e kamailio ai au me oe.
And there the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
23 Alaila ku ae la au iluna a hele aku la i ka papu, aia hoi, ku mai la ka nani o Iehova malaila, e like me ka nani a'u i ike ai ma ka muliwai Kebara a moe iho la au ilalo ke alo.
So I got up and went out to the plain, and behold, the glory of the LORD was present there, like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar, and I fell facedown.
24 Alaila komo mai la ka uhane iloko o'u, a hooku mai la ia'u ma kuu mau wawae, a kamailio me an, a i mai la la'u, E hele oe a papani ia oe iho iloko o kou hale;
Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
25 Aka, o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, ea, e kau lakou i kaula maluna ou, a e hoopaa lakou ia oe me ia, aole hoi oe o hele iwaho iwaena o lakou.
And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes, and you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.
26 A e hoopili ae au i kou alelo i ke aluna o kou waha, a e lilo oe i mea leo ole, aole hoi oe he mea ao aku ia lakou; no ka mea, he ohana kipi lakou.
I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house.
27 Aka, i ka wa e olelo aku ai au ia oe, e wehe au i kou waha, a e olelo aku oe ia lakou. Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, O ka mea lohe, e lohe ia, a o ka mea hoolohe ole, e hoolohe ole no ia; no ka mea, he ohana kipi lakou.
But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ Whoever listens, let him listen; and whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.
