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.

And He said unto me: 'Son of man, eat that which thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto 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 caused me to eat that roll.

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.

And He said unto me: 'Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee.' Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

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.

And He said unto me: 'Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with My words unto them.

5 No ka mea, aole oe i hoounaia i kanaka lehelehe hohonu, me ka olelo paakiki, oka, i ka ohana a Iseraela;

For thou art not sent to a people of an unintelligible speech and of a slow tongue, 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 many peoples of an unintelligible speech and of a slow tongue, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken unto thee.

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 not consent to hearken unto thee; for they consent not to hearken unto Me; for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stiff heart.

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 have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against 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.

As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead; fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, for 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.

Moreover He said unto me: 'Son of man, all My words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears.

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.

And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them: Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.'

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 a spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing: 'Blessed be the glory of the LORD from His 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.

also the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.

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 a spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the LORD was strong 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.

Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and I sat where they sat; and I remained there appalled among them seven days.

16 Eia keia, i ka pau ana o na la ehiku, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto 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 appointed thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; and when thou shalt hear a word at My mouth, thou shalt give them 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.

When I say unto the wicked: Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thy hand.

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.

Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

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.

Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die; because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

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.

Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.'

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 the hand of the LORD came there upon me; and He said unto me: 'Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there speak with thee.'

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.

Then I arose, and went forth into the plain; and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

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 spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and He spoke with me, and said unto me: 'Go, shut thyself within thy 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.

But thou, son of man, behold, bands shall be put upon thee, and thou shalt be bound with them, and thou shalt not go out among them;

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.

and I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover; for 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 thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD; he that heareth, let him hear, and he that forbeareth, let him forbear; for they are a rebellious house.
