Ehekiera 12
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 E te tama a te tangata, kei te noho koe i waenganui i te whare whakakeke, he kanohi nei o ratou hei titiro, heoi kahore e titiro, he taringa o ratou e rongo ai, heoi kahore e rongo; no te mea he whare whakakeke ratou.
“Son of man, you are dwelling in the midst of the house of rebellion, that have eyes to see, and they have not seen; they have ears to hear, and they have not heard; for they [are] a house of rebellion.
3 Mo reira whakapaingia etahi mea mau, e te tama a te tangata, mo te heke, ka heke i te awatea i ta ratou tirohanga; me heke atu i tou wahi ki tetahi atu wahi i ta ratou tirohanga; tera pea ratou e mahara iho, ahakoa he whare whakakeke ratou.
And you, son of man, make your vessels of removal, and remove by day before their eyes, and you have removed from your place to another place before their eyes, it may be they consider, for they [are] a house of rebellion.
4 Whakaputaina mai ano au mea ki waho i te awatea i ta ratou tirohanga, kia rite ki nga mea a te heke: me haere atu koe i te ahiahi i ta ratou tirohanga, kia rite ki te haerenga o te heke.
And you have brought forth your vessels as vessels of removal by day before their eyes, and you go forth in the evening before their eyes, as the goings forth of a removal.
5 Pokaia e koe te taiepa i ta ratou tirohanga, a maua atu tau kawenga ma reira.
You dig through the wall before their eyes, and you have brought forth by it.
6 I a ratou e titiro ana, amohia e koe i runga i tou pokohiwi, me mau atu i te pouri; ko tou mata hipoki rawa, kei kite koe i te whenua; no te mea kua whakaturia koe e ahau hei tohu ki te whare o Iharaira.
Carry on the shoulder before their eyes, bring forth in the darkness, cover your face, and you do not see the earth, for I have given you [as] a sign to the house of Israel.”
7 Na mahia ana e ahau nga mea i whakahaua mai ai ahau; whakaputaina ana e ahau aku mea i te awatea, nga mea a te heke, a i te ahiahi ka pokaia e ahau te taiepa he mea mea na toku ringa; i whakaputaina e ahau i te pouri, amohia ana e ahau i runga i toku pokohiwi i ta ratou tirohanga.
And I do so, as I have been commanded; I have brought forth my vessels as vessels of removal by day, and I have dug through the wall with my hand in the evening; I have brought forth in the darkness, I have carried away on the shoulder, before their eyes.
8 Na i te ata ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, in the morning, saying,
9 E te tama a te tangata, kihai ianei te whare o Iharaira, te whare whakakeke, i mea ki a koe, E aha ana koe?
“Son of man, have they not said to you—the house of Israel—the house of rebellion—What are you doing?
10 Ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Mo te rangatira i Hiruharama tenei pikaunga, mo te whare katoa o Iharaira e noho nei ratou i reira.
Say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: This burden [concerns] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are in their midst.
11 Ki atu, hei tohu ahau ki a koutou; ka penei i taku i mea nei, ka peratia ano ki a ratou; ka heke atu ratou, ka riro i te whakarau.
Say: I [am] your sign; as I have done so it is done to them, into a removal, into a captivity, they go.
12 Ko te rangatira i roto i a ratou ka amo te pokohiwi i te pouri, ka haere atu; ka pokaia te taiepa hei whakaputanga atu; ko tona mata hipoki rawa, no te mea e kore ia e kite i te whenua ki ona kanohi.
As for the prince who [is] in their midst, he carries on the shoulder in the darkness, and he goes forth; they dig through the wall to bring forth by it; he covers his face that he may not look on the very surface of the land.
13 Ka taupokina ano ia e ahau ki taku kupenga, ka mau i taku rore; ka kawea ano ia e ahau ki Papurona, ki te whenua o nga Karari; otiia e kore ia e kite i reira, ahakoa ka mate ia ki reira.
And I have spread My net for him, and he has been caught in My snare, and I have brought him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, and he does not see it—and he dies there.
14 A ka titaritaria atu e ahau ki nga hau katoa te hunga katoa i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, hei awhina i a ia, ratou ko ona ropu katoa; ka maunu ano i ahau te hoari hei whai i a ratou.
And all who are around him to help him, and all his bands, I scatter to every wind, and I draw out a sword after them.
15 A ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina whakamararatia ratou e ahau ki roto ki nga tauiwi, ina titaritaria ki nga whenua.
And they have known that I [am] YHWH, in My scattering them among nations, and I have spread them through lands;
16 Ka whakatoea ano ia etahi o ratou e ahau, he hunga torutoru, i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta; kia korero ai ratou i a ratou mea whakarihariha katoa i roto i nga iwi ka haere atu nei ratou ki reira, a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
and I have left of them, a few in number, from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, so that they recount all their abominations among the nations to where they have come, and they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
17 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
18 E te tama a te tangata, e wiri koe ina kai i tau taro, inumia hoki tou wai i runga i te ohooho, i te manukanuka;
“Son of man, eat your bread in haste, and drink your water with trembling and with fear;
19 Ki atu hoki ki te iwi o te whenua, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa mo nga tangata o Hiruharama, mo te oneone o Iharaira: Ka kainga e ratou ta ratou taro i runga i te manukanuka, ka inumia hoki to ratou wai i runga i te miharo, he mea kia ta koto kau ai tona whenua i ona mea maha, mo te tutu o nga tangata katoa e noho ana i reira.
and you have said to the people of the land, Thus said Lord YHWH concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, concerning the land of Israel: They eat their bread with fear, and drink their water with astonishment, because its land is desolate, because of its fullness, because of the violence of all who are dwelling in it.
20 Na, ko nga pa e nohoia ana, ka waiho hei koraha, ka ururuatia ano te whenua; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
And the cities that are inhabited are laid waste, and the land is a desolation, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
21 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
22 E te tama a te tangata, he aha tena whakatauki a koutou i te whenua o Iharaira, e mea na, Ka roa nei nga ra, kua kore ano he kitenga?
“Son of man, what [is] this allegory to you, concerning the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision has perished?
23 Mo reira ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka mutu i ahau tenei whakatauki, e kore ano e whakataukitia e ratou a muri ake nei i roto i a Iharaira; mea atu ia ki a ratou, Ka tata nga ra, me te meatanga ano o nga kitenga kat oa.
Therefore say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: I have caused this allegory to cease, And they do not use it as an allegory in Israel again, But speak to them: The days have drawn near, And every vision has spoken.
24 No te mea i muri nei kahore he kitenga teka, kahore he poropititanga tinihanga i roto i te whare o Iharaira.
For there is no longer any vain vision, and flattering divination, In the midst of the house of Israel.
25 Ko Ihowa hoki ahau; ka korero ahau, a ko te kupu e korerotia e ahau, ka oti; e kore e kumea kia roa i muri nei: no te mea i o koutou ra nei, e te whare whakakeke, ka korerotia e ahau, ka mahia ano te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
For I, YHWH, speak, The word that I speak—it is done, It is not prolonged anymore, For in your days, O house of rebellion, I speak a word, and I have done it, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
26 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
27 E te tama a te tangata, nana, e ki ana te whare o Iharaira, Mo nga ra maha te kitenga e kitea nei e ia, ko nga wa i tawhiti rawa tana e poropiti nei.
“Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, The vision that he is seeing [is not] for many days, and he is prophesying of far-off times,
28 Mo reira ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, E kore tetahi o aku kupu e kumea kia roa a muri nei; engari ko te kupu e korerotia e ahau ka oti, e ai ta te ariki, ta Ihowa.
therefore say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: None of My words are prolonged anymore, When I speak a word—it is done, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
