Ezekiela 9
1 KAHEA mai la oia iloko o ko'u mau pepeiao, me ka leo nui, i mai la, Nau e hookokoke mai na kiai o ke kulanakauhale, e paa ana i ka lima o kela kanaka keia kanaka kona mea oi e luku ai.
And he cried out in my ears with a loud voice, saying: “The visitations of the city have drawn near, and each one has equipment for killing in his hand.”
2 Aia hoi, hele mai la na kanaka eono mai ka aoao mai o ka puka luna, e moe ana ma ke kukuluakau, e paa ana i ka lima o kela kanaka keia kanaka kona mea oi e luku ai; a iwaena o lakou kekahi kanaka i aahuia i ke olona a he ipuinika o ka mea kakau ma kona aoao; a komo lakou iloko, a ku iho ma ka aoao o ke kuahu keleawe.
And behold, six men were approaching from the way of the upper gate, which looks to the north. And each one had equipment for killing in his hand. Also, one man in their midst was clothed with linen, and an instrument for writing was at his waist. And they entered and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 A ua pii ae la ka nani o ke Akua o Iseraela, maluna ae o ke keruba kahi i kau ai ia maluna, i ka paepae o ka puka o ka hale. Kahea aku la ia i ke kanaka i aahuia i ke olona, ma kona aoao ka ipuinika o ka mea kakau;
And the glory of the Lord of Israel was taken up, from the cherub upon which he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called out to the man who was clothed with linen and had an instrument for writing at his waist.
4 A olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia E hele oe mawaena o ke kulanakauhale mawaenakonu o Ierusalema, a e kau i ka hoailona ma na lae o na kanaka e kaniuhu ana a e uwe ana no na mea e inainaia mawaenakonu ona.
And the Lord said to him: “Cross through the middle of the city, in the center of Jerusalem, and seal a Tau upon the foreheads of the grieving men, who are mourning over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst.”
5 A i kela poe, i olelo ae la ia i ko'u lohe ana, E hahai oukou mahope ona mawaena o ke kulanakauhale, a e pepehi aku; mai noho a aloha ko oukou mau maka, aole hoi oukou e menemene;
And he said to the others, in my hearing: “Cross through the city after him, and strike! Your eye shall not be lenient, and you shall not take pity.
6 E pepehi a make loa i na mea kahiko a me na mea hou, na kaikamahine. a me na kamalii uuku, a me na wahine: aka, mai hookokoke aku i kekahi kanaka, maluna ona ka hoailona; a e hoomaka no ma kuu keenakapu. Alaila hoomaka lakou ma na lunakahiko, na mea ma ke alo o ka hale.
Kill, even to utter destruction, old men, young men, and virgins, little ones, and women. But all upon whom you see the Tau, you shall not kill. And begin from my sanctuary.” Therefore, they began with the men among the elders, who were before the face of the house.
7 Kauoha mai la oia ia lakou, E hoohaumia i ka hale, a e hoopiha i na pahale me na mea i pepehiia; a e hele aku. A hele aku lakou, a pepehi iho la iloko o ke kulanakauhale.
And he said to them: “Defile the house, and fill its courts with the slain! Go forth!” And they went forth and struck down those who were in the city.
8 Eia keia, i ko lakou luku ana ia lakou, a koe mai au, moe au ilalo ke alo, i aku la hoi au, Auwe, e Iehova ka Haku! e luku mai anei oe i ke koena a pau o ka Iseraela i kou ninini ana i kou huhu maluna o Ierusalema?
And when the slaughter was completed, I remained. And I fell upon my face, and crying out, I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Will you now destroy the entire remnant of Israel, by pouring out your fury upon Jerusalem?”
9 Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, O ka hewa o ka ohana a Iseraela a me Iuda he nui wale ia, a ua paapu ka aina i ke koko, a ua piha ke kulanakauhale i ka hewa; no ka mea, ke i mai nei lakou, Ua haalele Iehova i ka honua, aole ike mai Iehova.
And he said to me: “The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Judah, is vast and exceedingly great, and the land has been filled with blood, and the city has been filled with what is abhorrent. For they have said: ‘The Lord has forsaken the earth,’ and, ‘The Lord does not see.’
10 A owau nei la, aole e aloha kuu maka, aole au e menemene aku, aka, e uku au i ko lakou aoao maluna o ko lakou poo.
Therefore, my eye will not be lenient, and I will not take pity. I will repay their own way upon their head.”
11 Aia o ke kanaka i aahuia me ke olona ia ia ka ipuinika ma kona aoao, ua hai mai oia ia mea, i mai la, Ua hana aku au e like me kou kauoha ana mai ia'u.
And behold, the man who was clothed with linen, who had a writing instrument at his back, responded a word, saying: “I have done just as you instructed me.”
