Ezekiela 33
1 HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku i na keiki o kou poe kanaka, ei aku ia lakou, O ka aina, ina lawe au i ka pahikaua maluna ona, a lawe na kanaka o ka aina i ke kanaka o ko lakou mau palena, a e hooku ia ia i kiai no lakou;
“Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
3 Aia ike ia i ka pahikaua e hele mai ana maluna o ka aina, ina e pupuhi oia i ka pu e ao aku i kanaka;
if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
4 Alaila, o ka mea lohe i ke kani ana o ka pu, aole hoi i malama i ke ao ana; a ina hele mai ka pahikaua, a lawe aku ia ia, aia no kona koko maluna o kona poo iho.
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
5 O ke kani ana o ka pu kana i lohe ai, aka, aole ia i malama i ke ao ana; aia maluna ona iho hoi kona koko: aka, o ka mea malama i ke ao ana, e hoopakele oia i kona ola iho.
He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
6 Aka, ina ike ke kiai i ka hele ana mai o ka pahikaua, aole hoi pupuhi i ka pu, aole hoi e aoia na kanaka; a hele mai ka pahikaua, a e lawe aku i kekahi maiwaena aku o lakou, ua laweia'ku oia maloko o kona hewa; aka, e kii aku au i kona koko ma ka lima o ke kiai.
But if the watchman sees the sword come and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
7 Pela no oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua hooku au ia oe i kiai no ka ohana a Iseraela; nolaila e hoolohe oe i ka olelo ma ko'u waha, a e ao aku ia lakou na'u aku no.
“So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
8 Aia olelo au i ke kanaka hewa, E ke kanaka hewa, e make io no oe; ina aole oe e olelo aku e ao aku i ua kanaka la no kona aoao, e make no ia kanaka hewa maloko o kona hewa; aka, e kii aku no au i kona koko ma kou lima.
When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
9 Aka, ina e ao aku oe i ka mea hewa no kona aoao, aole hoi i huli mai, mai koua aoao mai, e make no ia iloko o kona hewa; aka, ua hoopakele oe i kou uhane iho.
Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
10 A o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe i ka ohana a Iseraela, Ke olelo nei oukou, i ka i ana, Ina eia maluna o kakou ko kakou mau hala a me ko kakou mau hewa, a olala ae kakou maloko oia mau mea, pehea la hoi kakou e ola'i?
“You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’
11 E olelo aku ia lakou, Ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aohe o'u oluolu i ka make ana o ka mea hewa; aka hoi, e huli mai ka mea hewa, mai kona aoao mai, a e ola ia; e huli mai, e huli mai oukou mai ko oukou mau aoao hewa mai; no ke aha la oukou e make ai, e ka ohana a Iseraela?
Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’
12 Nolaila, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku i na keiki a kou poe kanaka, Aole ka pono o ka mea pono e hoopakele ia ia i ka la e hewa ai ia: a o ka hewa o ka mea hewa, aole oia e haule ilaila i ka la e huli ai oia mai kona hewa mai: aole hoi e hiki i ka mea pono ke ola nona, i kona la e hana hewa ai.
“You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
13 Aia olelo aku au i ka mea pono, e ola io no ia; ina e hilinai oia ma kona pono iho, a hana hewa hoi, e pau no kona pono i ka hoomanao ole ia; aka, no kona hewa ana i hana'i, e make ai no ia.
When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
14 A i ka wa e olelo aku ai au i ka mea hewa, E make io no oe; ina e huli mai ia, mai kona hewa mai, a hana hoi i ka mea pono a me ka pololei;
Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
15 Ina e hoihoi aku ka mea hewa i ka waiwai kaohi a ka aie, a ua hoihoi aku hoi i ka waiwai ana i lawe wale ai, a ua hele hoi ma na kanawai e ola'i, me ka hana hewa ole; e ola io no ia, aole ia e make.
if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
16 Aole loa ka hewa ana i hana'i e haiia'ku ia ia; ua hana oia i ka mea pono a me ka pololei, e ola io no ia.
None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
17 Aka, ke olelo nei na keiki o kou poe kanaka, Aole kaulike na aoao o ka Haku; aka, o lakou, aole kaulike ko lakou aoao.
“‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
18 A huli ae ka mea pono mai kona pono ae, a hana ma ka hewa, e make no hoi ia malaila.
When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
19 A huli ae ka mea hewa mai kona hewa ae, a hana hoi i ka mea pono a me ka pololei, e ola no ia malaila.
When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
20 Aka, ke olelo nei oukou, Aole kaulike na aoao o ka Haku. E hooponopono aku au ia oukou, kela kanaka keia kanaka, e like me kona aoao, e ka ohana a Iseraela.
Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
21 Eia keia, i ka umikumamalua o ka makahiki o ko kakou pio ana, i ka malama umi, i ka la alima o ka malama, hele mai io'u nei kekahi i pakele, mai Ierusalema mai, i mai la, Ua pepehiia ke kulanakauhale.
In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
22 A ua kau mai ka lima o Iehova maluna o'u i ke ahiahi mamua o ka hiki ana mai io'u nei o ka mea i pakele; a ua wehe mai i kuu waha, a hiki mai ia i ke kakahiaka; a ua weheia kuu waha, aole au i leopaa hou aku.
Now the LORD’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
23 Alaila, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
24 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, o ka poe i noho ma keia mau wahi neoneo o ka aina o ka Iseraela, ke olelo nei lakou, i ka i ana, Hookahi no o Aberahama, a ua ili ka aina ia ia; a he nui no hoi kakou, a ua haawi mai ka aina no kakou i waiwai ili.
“Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
25 Nolaila, e olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, Ua ai oukou me ke koko, a ua leha ae i ko oukou mau maka i ko oukou poe akuakii, a ua hookahe i ke koko; e loaa anei ia oukou ka aina?
Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
26 Ke ku nei oukou maluna o ka oukou pahikaua, ke hana nei oukou i ka mea inainaia; ke hoohaumia nei oukou, kela kanaka keia kanaka, i ka wahine a kona hoalauna; e loaa anei ia oukou ka aina?
You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
27 Penei e olelo aku ai ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Ma ko'u ola ana, o ka poe ma na wahi neoneo, e haule lakou i ka pahikaua, a o ka mea ma ke kula mawaho ka'u e haawi aku ai i na holoholona hihiu, e pau ai i ka aiia; a o ka poe maloko o na pakaua a me na ana, e make no lakou i ka mai ahulau.
“You shall tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
28 E haawi au i ka aina i neoneo loa, a e oki ka hanohano o kona ikaika; a e neoneo no hoi na mauna o ka Iseraela, aole mea e hele ae mawaena.
I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
29 Alaila e ike lakou owau no Iehova, aia haawi au i ka aina i neoneo loa, no na mea inainaia a lakou i hana'i.
Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
30 A o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, ke kamailio ku e nei na keiki a kou poe kanaka ia oe, ma na paia, a ma na puka o na hale, a ua olelo kekahi i kekahi, kela mea keia mea i kona hoahanau, e i ana, E hele mai oukou, ea, a e hoolohe i ka olelo i hiki mai, mai Iehova mai.
“As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from the LORD.’
31 A ua hele lakou iou la, e like me ka hele ana o kanaka, a ua noho lakou imua ou e like me ko'u poe kanaka, a ua lohe lakou i kau mau olelo, aole hoi lakou e malama aku ia; no ka mea, me ko lakou waha, ua hoike lakou i ke aloha nui. aka, me ko lakou naau, ua hahai lakou mamuli o ko lakou makee waiwai.
They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
32 Ua lilo oe ia lakou me he mele makemakeia la a ka mea leo oluolu a e hiki ia ia ke hula pono ma ka mea kani; no ka mea, ua lohe lakou i kau mau olelo, aole nae lakou e hana malaila.
Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.
33 Aia hiki mai keia mea; aia hoi, e hiki mai no ia, alaila e ike no lakou, he kanla ka iwaena o lakou.
“When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
