Ezekiela 33

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

And the word of the Lord 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, If there be a land over which I bring the sword, and the people of the land take a man from among themselves, and appoint him unto themselves for a 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;

And if he see the sword coming over the land, and blow the cornet, 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.

And whosoever heareth the sound of the cornet, and taketh no warning; and the sword cometh, and taketh 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.

The sound of the cornet hath he heard, and he hath taken no warning; his blood shall be upon him. But had he taken 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 see the sword coming, and blow not the cornet, so that the people be not warned, and the sword cometh, and taketh away from among them some person: this one is taken away for his iniquity; but his blood will I require from 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.

But as for thee, O son of man, I have appointed thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: so that when thou hearest a word from my mouth, thou shalt 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 one, thou shalt surely die; and thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way: that wicked one shall die for his iniquity; but his blood will I require from thy 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 hast indeed warned the wicked of his way to turn away from it, and he do not turn from his way: he shall certainly die for 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?

But thou, O son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, Thus do ye speak, saying, Truly our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and through them do we pine away: how then shall 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?

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but in the return of the wicked from his way that he may live: return ye, return 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.

But thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him on the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not stumble through it on the day that he returneth from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live through the other on 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 say of the righteous, that he shall surely live, and he trusteth to his own righteousness, and committeth what is wrong: all his righteous deeds shall not be remembered, and for his wrong that he hath committed, —through this shall he die.

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; and he turneth from his sin, and executeth justice and righteousness;

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, make restitution for what he hath robbed, walk in the statutes of life, so as not to do any wrong: 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.

All his sins that he hath committed shall not be remembered unto him: justice and righteousness hath he executed, 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 say the children of thy people, The way of the Lord is not equitable: while, as to them, their way is not equitable.

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 away from his righteousness, and doth what is wrong, he shall even die therefore.

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.

And when the wicked returneth from his wickedness, and executeth justice and righteousness, he shall surely live therefore.

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 equitable. Every one after his own ways will I judge you, O house of Israel.

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, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month after our exile, that there came unto me one that had escaped out of Jerusalem, saying, The city hath been 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 inspiration of the Lord was come upon me in the evening, before the coming of the one who had escaped; and he had opened my mouth, before he was come to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened and I was not kept dumb any more.

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

And the word of the Lord 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 dwell in these ruins in the land of Israel say as followeth, But one man was Abraham, and he obtained the land as an inheritance; and as we are many, the land must [surely] be given to us for an 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 say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, By the blood do ye eat, and your eyes do you lift up toward your idols, and blood do ye shed: and ye expect to 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 depend upon your sword, ye commit abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbor's wife: and ye expect to 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.

Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, As I live, surely those that are in the ruined places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts that they may devour him, and those that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die through 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.

And I will render the land desolate and wasted, and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, with none to pass through them.

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.

And they shall experience that I am the Lord, when I render the land desolate and wasted, 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.

And thou, son of man, [there are] the children of thy people, who are talking about thee by the walls and in the entrances of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Do come, and hear what the word is which cometh forth 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.

And then they come unto thee as the people come, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but do not execute them; for as merry songs they carry them in their mouth, while their heart goeth after their unlawful gains.

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 merry song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well: and [thus] they hear thy words, but execute 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.

But when it cometh to pass, [lo, it will come, ] then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
