Ezekiela 8
1 EIA hoi keia i ke ono o ka makahiki, i ka malama aono, i ka la alima o ka malama, e noho ana au iloko o kuu hale, a noho no na lunakahiko o ka Iuda imua o'u, haule mai ka lima o Iehova ka Haku malaila, maluna o'u.
In the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me.
2 Alaila nana aku au, aia hoi he mea ua like ke ano me ke ahi i ka nana aku; mai ka ikea ana o kona puhaka ilalo, he ahi; a mai kona puhaka iluna, me he olinolino la ke nana aku, a me ke keleawe hoohualiia.
Then I looked and saw a figure like that of a man. From His waist down His appearance was like fire, and from His waist up He was as bright as the gleam of amber.
3 Kikoo mai la oia i ka mea like me ka lima, a lalau mai ia'u ma kekahi wili lauoho o kuu poo, a kaikai ae ka uhane ia'u iluna mawaena o ka honua a me ka lani, a alakai ae la ia'u i Ierusalema ma na hihio o ke Akua, i ka pani o ka pukapa iloko e nana ana i ke kukulu akau, kahi o ke kii e lili ai ka mea hoolili.
He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes jealousy was seated.
4 Aia hoi, malaila ka nani o ke Akua o Iseraela, e like me ka hihio a'u i ike ai ma ka papu.
And there I saw the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain.
5 Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, Ealawa ae i kou mau maka ma ke kukulu akau. Alawa ae la hoi au i kau mau maka i ke kukulu akau, aia hoi ma ke kukulu akau ma ka puka o ke kuahu keia kii e lili ai, maloko o kahi e komo ai.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “now lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and in the entrance north of the Altar Gate I saw this idol of jealousy.
6 A olelo hou mai la ia, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ke ike nei anei oe i ka mea a lakou e hana nei? na mea e inainaia a ka ohana a Iseraela i hana'i ma keia wahi, i hele loihi aku ai au mai ko'u keenakapu aku? Aka, e haliu hou ae oe, a e ike oe i na mea e inainaia he nui aku.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what they are doing—the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing—to drive Me far from My sanctuary? Yet you will see even greater abominations.”
7 A lawe mai oia ia'u ma ka puka o ka pahale, a nana aku au, aia hoi he puka maloko o ka pa.
Then He brought me to the entrance to the court, and I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
8 Olelo mai la hoi oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e pao ae oe maloko o ka pa. A pao ae la au iloko o ka pa, aia hoi he ipuka.
“Son of man,” He told me, “dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall and discovered a doorway.
9 I mai la hoi ia ia'u, E komo ae oe iloko, a e nana oe i na mea hewa e inainaia a lakou e hana nei maanei.
Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are committing here.”
10 Komo ae la hoi au a ike, aia hoi o ke ano o na mea kolo a pau me na holoholona i hoopailuaia, a me na akuakii o ka ohana a Iseraela i kakauia ma ka pa a puni.
So I went in and looked, and engraved all around the wall was every kind of crawling creature and detestable beast, along with all the idols of the house of Israel.
11 Ku mai la imua o lakou na kanaka he kanahiku o na lunakahiko o ka ohana a Iseraela, a iwaenakonu o lakou e ku ana o Iaazania, ke keiki a Sapana, e paa ana kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona kapuahi kuni mea ala i kona lima. Punohu nui ae la ka uahi mea ala paapu.
Before them stood seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising.
12 Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua ike anei oe i ka mea a na lunakahiko o ka ohana a Iseraela e hana nei iloko o ka pouli, kela kanaka keia kanaka iloko o kona keena e nana ai? No ka mea, ke olelo nei lakou, Aole ike mai o Iehova; ua haalele Iehova i ka honua.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? For they are saying, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.’”
13 Olelo mai la oia ia'u, E haliu hou ae oe, a e ike oe i na mea e inainaia he nui aku a lakou e hana nei.
Again, He told me, “You will see them committing even greater abominations.”
14 Alaila lawe mai oia ia'u i ke pani o ka ipuka pa o ka hale o Iehova, ka mea ma ka aoao kukulu akau; aia hoi, e noho ana na wahine e uwe ana no Tamuza.
Then He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.
15 Ninau mai la oia ia'u, Ua ike anei oe i keia, e ke keiki a ke kanaka? E haliu hou ae oe a e ike oe i na mea e inainaia e oi aku mamua o keia.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Yet you will see even greater abominations than these.”
16 Lawe ae la oia ia'u iloko o ka pahale loko o ka hale o Iehova, aia hoi, ma ka puka o ka luakini o Iehova mawaena o ka lanai a me ke kuahu, he iwakaluakumamalima paha o na kanaka, ua huli ko lakou mau kua i ka luakini o Iehova, a o ko lakou mau alo i ka hikina; a hoomana aku la lakou i ka la ma ka hikina.
So He brought me to the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.
17 Alaila ninau mai la ia ia'u, Ua ike anei oe i keia, e ke keiki a ke kanaka? He mea mama anei i ka ohana a Iuda ka lakou hana ana i na mea e inainaia a lakou e hana nei maanei? no ka mea, ua hoopiha lakou i ka aina i ka hewa, a ua huli mai lakou e hoonaukiuki mai ia'u; aia hoi, ua kau lakou i ka lala ma ko lakou ihu.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and continually provoke Me to anger? Look, they are even putting the branch to their nose!
18 Nolaila owau no kekahi e hana aku me ka ukiuki; aole e aloha kuu maka, aole hoi au e menemene aku; a ina e kahea lakou iloko o ko'u mau pepeiao me ka leo nui, aole au o hoolohe aku ia lakou.
Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. Although they shout loudly in My ears, I will not listen to them.”
