Ezekiela 33

1 HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

Again the word of Yhwh came unto 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 thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, 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 seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn 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 whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon 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 took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver 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 see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I 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 thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them 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 say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine 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 thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy 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?

Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then 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?

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Yhwh, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O 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.

Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.

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 shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.

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 unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do 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 he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall 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 hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall 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 thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

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 turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.

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.

But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.

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 ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one 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.

And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.

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 hand of Yhwh was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.

23 Alaila, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

Then the word of Yhwh came unto 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, they that inhabit those wastes of 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?

Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye 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?

Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye 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.

Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall 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.

For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall 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 shall they know that I am Yhwh, when I have laid the land most desolate 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.

Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from Yhwh.

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.

And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

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.

And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

33 Aia hiki mai keia mea; aia hoi, e hiki mai no ia, alaila e ike no lakou, he kanla ka iwaena o lakou.

And when this cometh to pass, ( lo, it will come, ) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
