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.
So it came about in the sixth year and the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord Yahweh again fell upon me there.
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.
So I looked, and behold, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man. From the appearance of his hips downward there was fire. And from his hips upward there was the appearance of something shining, like glowing metal.
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.
Then he reached out the form of a hand and took me by the hair of my head; the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and in visions from God, he brought me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the inner northern gate, where the idol that provokes great jealousy was standing.
4 Aia hoi, malaila ka nani o ke Akua o Iseraela, e like me ka hihio a'u i ike ai ma ka papu.
Then behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision I had seen on 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.
Then he said to me, “Son of man, lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and to the north of the gate leading to the altar, there in the entrance, was the 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.
So he said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing? These are great abominations that the house of Israel is doing here to make me go far from my own sanctuary. But you will turn and 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 doorway of the courtyard, and I looked, and there was 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.
He said to me, “Son of man, dig into this wall.” So I dug into the wall, and there was a door.
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 and see the wicked abominations that they are doing 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 behold! There was every form of creeping thing and detestable beast! Every idol of the house of Israel was carved into the wall all around.
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.
Seventy elders of the house of Israel were there, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing in their midst. They were standing in front of the images, and each man had his censer in his hand so that the smell of the cloud of incense went up.
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.
He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark? Each one does this in the hidden chamber of his idol, for they say, 'Yahweh does not see us! Yahweh 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.
Then he said to me, “Turn again and see the other great abominations that they are doing.”
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.
Next he brought me to the entrance of the gate of Yahweh's house that was on the north side, and behold! The women were sitting there mourning 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.
So he said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Turn again and 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.
He brought me into the inner courtyard of Yahweh's house, and behold! at the entrance of the temple of Yahweh between the portico and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of Yahweh and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping 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.
He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Is it a little thing for the house of Judah to do these abominations that they are doing here? For they have filled the land with violence and they have turned again to provoke me to anger, putting the branch to their noses.
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.
So I will also act among them; my eye will not have compassion, and I will not spare them. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”
