Ezekiela 36

1 A O oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e wanana oe i na mauna o ka Iseraela, a e olelo aku, E na mauna o ka Iseraela, e hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova.

“And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: Mountains of Israel, listen to this message from the Lord.

2 Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; No ka mea, ua olelo ku e ka enemi ia oe, Aia la, no makou no na wahi kiekie kahiko, he waiwai no makou:

This is what the Lord God says: The enemy said about you, ‘Aha! These old high places now belong to us,’

3 Nolaila, e wauana, a o olelo aku, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; No ko lakou hooneoneo ana ia oukou, a ua moni iho lakou ia oukou ma kela aoao keia aoao, i lilo oukou i waiwai no ke koena o na lahuikanaka, a ua laweia ma na lehelehe o na mea kamailio, a ua lilo i mea hoinoia e kanaka:

so you must prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: They have turned you into a wasteland, attacking you from every direction, so that you became the property of other nations and people gossiped about you and slandered you.

4 Nolaila, e na mauna o ka Iseraela, e hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova ka Haku; penei ka olelo ana a Iehova ka Haku i na mauna, a i na puu, a i na muliwai, a i na papu, a i na wahi neoneo, a i na kulanakauhale i haaleleia, i lilo i waiwai pio, a i mea e heneheneia i ke koena o na lahuikanaka e hoopuni mai ana:

So now, mountains of Israel, listen to the message from the Lord God. This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and abandoned towns, that the other nations around you have looted and mocked.

5 Nolaila, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Oiaio, i ke ahi o ko'u lili i olelo ku e aku ai au i ke koena o na lahuikanaka, ia Edoma a pau, na mea i wae aku i kuu aina i waiwai no lakou, me ka hauoli o ka naau a pau, me ka manao huhu e hoolei aku ia i waiwai pio.

Yes, this is what the Lord God says: I have spoken passionately against these other nations, and against all the Edomites, who took over my country and made it theirs, happily celebrating as they looted the land and treated me with complete contempt.

6 Nolaila, e wanana aku no ka aina o ka Iseraela, a e olelo aku i na mauna, a i na puu, a i na muliwai, a i na papu, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Uaku, penei; Eia hoi, i kuu lili a me kuu ukiuki i oielo aku ai au no ko oukou halihali ana i ka hoinoia e na iahuikauaka.

So prophesy concerning the country of Israel and tell the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, that this is what the Lord God says: Just watch, for I have spoken passionately about this because you have had to put up with this mockery from other nations.

7 Nolaila, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Ua hapai ae nei au i ko'u lima, oiaio, o na iahuikanaka e hoopuni aua ia oukou, e halihaii no lakou i ko lakou hoinoia.

This is what the Lord God says: I hold up my hand and swear that the other nations around you will suffer their own shame.

8 Aka, o oukou, e na mauna o ka Iseraela, e hooopuu ae oukou i ko oukou mau lala, a e haawi hoi i ka oukou hua i ko'u poe kanaka Iseraela; no ka mea, eia'e lakou kokoke hiki mai.

But you, mountains of Israel, will grow trees that will produce fruit for my people Israel, for soon they'll be coming home.

9 No ka mea, eia hoi au no oukou, e haliu au ia oukou, a e mahiia no oukou a e luluia'e.

Look, I am for you and I will help you. Your land will be ploughed, and crops will be sown.

10 A e hoonui au i na kanaka maluna o oukou, ka ohana a pau a Iseraela, pau. pu ia; a e nohoia'e na kulanakauhale, a e kukulu hou ia'e na wahi neoneo.

You will support the people of Israel as they return and grow in number. People will live in the towns again and rebuild the ruins.

11 A e hoonui au i na kanaka me na holoholona maluna o oukou; a e mahuahua'e lakou a e hoohua mai i ka hua; a e hoonoho au ia oukou iloko o ko oukou noho kahiko ana, a e oi kuu hoomaikai ana ia oukou mamua o ko oukou hoomaka ana; a e ike oukou owau no Iehova.

The number of your people will grow— they will have many children. The animals too will have many young. I will make sure that you're inhabited just as you used to be, and I will make you more prosperous that you were before. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

12 Oiaio, e hoohele aku au i na kanaka maluna o oukou, ko'u poe kanaka hoi o Iseraela; a e loaa oe ia lakou, a e lilo oe i waiwai uo lakou, aole loa hoi oe e hoonele hou aku ia lakou.

I will have my people Israel walk on you mountains. You will be theirs; you will belong to them, and you will no longer rob your nation of their children.

13 Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; No ka lakou olelo ana ia oukou, ua ai oe i kanaka, a ua hoonele oe i kou mau lahuikanaka;

This is what the Lord God says: Because people say to you, ‘You eat people, and rob your nation of their children,’

14 Nolaila, aole oe e ai hou aku i kanaka, aole hoi e hoohaule hou aku i kou mau lahuikanaka, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

from now on you won't eat people or rob your nation of their children, declares the Lord God.

15 Aole hoi au e hoolohe hou ia oe i ka hoinoia e na lahuikanaka, aole hoi oe e halihali hou i ka olelo ino a kanaka, aole hoi oe e hoohaule hou i kou mau lahuikanaka, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

I'm going to stop these nations insulting you, and you won't have to put up with their taunts any more, or make the nation fall, declares the Lord God.”

16 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

Another message from Lord came to me, saying,

17 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, i ka wa i noho ai ka ohana a Iseraela i ko lakou aina ponoi, ua hoohaumia lakou ia ia me ko lakou hele ana a me ka lakou hana ana; me he haumia la o ka wahine i hookaaweleia'e ko lakou hele ana imua o'u.

“Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their country, they made it unclean by the way they behaved, by what they did. The way they were behaving in my presence was like the ceremonial uncleanness of a woman's period.

18 Nolaila, ninini aku la au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou, no ke koko a lakou i hookahe ai maluna o ka aina, a no ko lakou mau akuakii i hoohaumia ai iakou ia ia.

So I became angry with them because of murders they committed in the country, and because they made it unclean by worshiping idols.

19 Ua hoopuehu aku au ia lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a ua hele liilii lakou ma na aina; mamuli o ko lakou hele ana, a mamuli o ka lakou haua ana i hoopai aku ai au ia lakou.

I scattered them among the different nations and countries. I judged them according to the way they had behaved and what they did.

20 A komo lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, kahi i hele aku ai lakou, ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u inoa hoauo, i ka lakou olelo ana ia lakou, Eia ka poe kanaka o Iehova, a ua puka lakou mai kona aina aku.

But wherever they went among the nations, they ruined my reputation, because people said about them, ‘These are the Lord's people, but they had to leave his country.’

21 A ua minamina au i ko'u inoa hoano a ka ohana a Lseraela i hoohaumia ai iwaena o na lahuikanaka, kahi i hele aku ai lakou.

So I had to take care of my reputation for holiness which the people of Israel had ruined among the nations where they'd gone.

22 Nolaila, e olelo aku i ka ohana a Iseraela, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aole no oukou i hana aku ai au i keia, e ka ohana a Iseraela, aka, no ko'u inoa hoano a oukou i hoohaumia ai iwaena o na Iahuikanaka, kahi i hele aku ai oukou.

Tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: I'm not doing this for you, people of Israel, but for my reputation for holiness, which you ruined among the nations where you went.

23 A e hoano iho i ko'u inoa nui i hoohaumia ia iwaeua o na lahuikanaka, ka mea a oukou i hoohaumia ai iwaena o lakou; a o ike na lahuikauaka owau no Iehova, wahi a Iehova, ka Haku, aia hoanoia au e oukou imua o ko lakou mau maka.

I will reveal the holy nature and importance of my reputation, which has been ruined among the nations, the reputation you have ruined among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when I reveal my holiness through you as they watch.

24 No ka mea, lawe mai au ia oukou mai loko mai o na lahuikanaka, a e houluulu au ia oukou mai na aina a pau mai, a e lawe mai au ia oukou i ko oukou aina.

For I will bring you back from among the nations, gathering you from all the different countries, and I will lead you back into your own country.

25 Alaila, e pipi aku ai au i ka wai maemae maluna o oukou, a e maemae hoi oukou: i ko oukou haumia a pau, a me ko oukou mau akuakii a pau, e hoomaemae aku ai au ia oukou.

I will also pour pure water over you, and you will be clean. I will wash you clean from all your uncleanness and from all your idols.

26 He naau hou no hoi ka'u e haawi aku ai ia oukou, a he uhane hou no hoi ka'u e uhao ai iloko o oukou; a e lawe ae au i ka naau pohaku mai loko ae o ko oukou io, a e haawi aku au i ka naau io ia oukou.

I will give you a new mind and I will put a new spirit inside you. I will take away your stubborn mind and I will give you a loving mind.

27 A e hookomo hoi au i kuu Uhane iloko o oukou, a e hana aku au ia oukou e hele ma ko'u mau kanawai, a e malama oukou i ka'u mau kauoha, a e hana malaila.

I will put my Spirit inside you so you will follow my laws and remember to do what I tell you.

28 A e noho no oukou ma ka aina au i haawi aku ai i ko oukou poe makua; a lilo oukou i poe kanaka no'u, a owau hoi ko oukou Akua.

Then you will live in the country I gave to your forefathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God.

29 E hoola hoi au ia oukou mai ko oukou mau haumia ana; a e kahea aku au i palaoa, a e hoomahuahua ia mea, aole hoi au e kau i ka wi maluna o oukou.

I will save you from everything that makes you unclean. I will make sure you have plenty of grain. I won't send you any famines.

30 Alaila e hoonui au i ka hua o ka laau, a me ka mea ulu o ka mahina ai, i ole e loaa hou ia oukou ka hoinoia no ka wi iwaena o na lahuikanaka.

I will also make sure you have good harvests from your orchards and fields, so that you won't be mocked by other nations anymore because of famine.

31 Alaila e hoomanao oukou i ko oukou mau aoao hewa, a me ka oukou mau hana pono ole, a e hoowahawaha iho oukou ia oukou iho i ko oukou mau maka iho, no ko oukou mau hewa, a me ko oukou mau mea iuaiuaia.

Then you will remember your evil ways and terrible things you've done, and you'll hate yourselves for your sins and disgusting actions.

32 Aole hoi no oukou e hana aku ai au i keia, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, e ikeia ia e oukou; e hilahila, a e pilihua hoi oukou no ko oukou mau aoao iho, e ka ohana a Iseraela.

You need to realize that I'm not doing this for your sake, declares the Lord God. You should be ashamed and embarrassed for what you've done, people of Israel!

33 Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei: I ka la i pau ai oukou i ka hoomaemaeia e au i ko oukou mau hewa a pau, o hoonoho no hoi au ia oukou iloko o ko oukou mau kulanakauhale; a e kukulu hou ia na wahi neoneo.

This is what the Lord God says: On the day I make you clean from all your sins, I will have you live in your towns again and make sure the ruins are rebuilt.

34 A e mahiia ka aina neoneo, ua moe neoneo nae imua o na maka o ka poe a pau i maalo ae.

The land that was deserted will be cultivated again instead of looking abandoned to everyone passing by.

35 A o olelo lakou, O keia aina i neoneo aku, ua like ia me ka mala Edena, a o na kulanakauhale i haaleleia, a i neoneo aku, a i hokaiia, ua paa i ka paia, a ua nohoia no hoi.

Then they will say, ‘This deserted land is now like the garden of Eden. The towns that were demolished, abandoned, and destroyed have been restored and strengthened, and people are living in them.’

36 Alaila o na lahuikanaka i koe a Puni oukou, e ike lakou, owau no Iehova ka i kukulu hou i na wahi i hokaiia, a i kanu hoi i na wahi i neoneo; owau, o Iehova ka i olelo aku, a hana aku no hoi au ia.

Then those nations around you that are left will acknowledge that I, the Lord, have rebuilt what was demolished, and that I have replanted what was destroyed. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will carry it out.

37 Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E ninauia hoi au no keia e ka ohana a Iseraela, e hana aku ia mea no lakou; e hoonui aku au ia lakou i kanaka me he ohana hipa la.

This is what the Lord God says: I will once again answer the prayers of the people of Israel. This is what I will do for them: I will have them increase in number like a flock.

38 Me he ohana hoano la, e like me ka ohana o Ierusalema, i kona mau ahaaina hoano, pela e paapu ai i na ohana kauaka na kulanakauhale i neoneo; a e ike no lakou owau no Iehova.

Just like all the many flocks that are brought to Jerusalem to be sacrificed during the religious festivals, so the towns that were once demolished will be full of flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
