Ehekiera 22
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 E whakawa ranei koe, e te tama a te tangata, e whakawa ranei koe i te pa whakaheke toto? na, whakakitea ano ana mea whakarihariha katoa ki a ia.
And you, son of man, will you judge the bloody city? yes, declare you to her all her iniquities.
3 A mea atu koe, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: He pa e whakaheke ana i te toto i waenganui ona, he mea e tae mai ai te wa mona, e hanga whakapakoko ana hei he mona, hei whakapoke i a ia!
And you shall say, Thus says the Lord God: O city that sheds blood in the midst of her, so that her time should come, and that forms devices against herself, to defile herself;
4 Kua he koe i ou toto i whakahekea e koe, kua poke i au whakapakoko i hanga e koe; a kua meinga e koe ou ra kia tata, kua tae ano koe ki ou tau: na reira koe i meinga ai e ahau hei tawainga ma nga tauiwi, hei taunutanga ma nga whenua katoa.
in their blood which you have shed, you have transgressed; and in your devices which you have formed, you have polluted yourself; and you have brought near your days, and have brought on the time of your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all the countries,
5 Ko te hunga e tata ana, ko te hunga hoki e matara atu ana i a koe, ka taunu ki a koe, e te tangata ingoa poke, kiki tonu i te tutu.
to those near you, and to those far distant from you; and they shall mock you, [you that are] notoriously unclean, and abundant in iniquities.
6 Nana, nga rangatira o Iharaira, puta ana nga uaua o tetahi, o tetahi i roto i a koe ki te whakaheke toto.
Behold, the princes of the house of Israel have conspired in you each one with his kindred, that they might shed blood.
7 E whakahawea ana ratou ki te papa, ki te whaea, i roto i a koe; he mahi whakatupu kino ta ratou ki te tautangata i roto i a koe: e tukinotia ana e ratou te pani me te pouaru i roto i a koe:
In you they have reviled father and mother; and in you they have behaved unjustly towards the stranger: they have oppressed the orphan and widow.
8 Ko aku mea tapu whakahaweatia iho e koe, ko aku hapati whakanoatia ana e koe.
And they have set at nothing my holy things, and in you they have profaned my sabbaths.
9 I roto i a koe nga tangata ngautuara, he mea kia whakahekea ai he toto: i roto i a koe te kai ki runga ki nga maunga: i roto i a koe te mahi puremu.
[There are] robbers in you, to shed blood in you; and in you they have eaten upon the mountains: they have wrought ungodliness in the midst of you.
10 I roto i a koe te hura i to te papa e takoto tahanga ai: i roto i a koe te whakaiti i te wahine poke i a ia e noho wehe ana.
In you they have uncovered the father's shame; and in you they have humbled her that was set apart for uncleanness.
11 He mahi whakarihariha ano ta tetahi ki te wahine a tona hoa; ko ta tetahi whakapokea iho, puremutia iho tana hunaonga; ko ta tetahi i roto i a koe, he whakaiti i tona tuahine, i te tamahine a tona papa.
They have dealt unlawfully each one with his neighbour's wife; and each one in ungodliness has defiled his daughter-in-law: and in you they have humbled each one his sister, the daughter of his father.
12 I roto i a koe i tango ratou i te utu whakapati e whakahekea ai he toto; kua tango koe i te moni whakatupu, i nga hua ano hoki, kua haoa mai ano e koe nga taonga a ou hoa, he mea tukino, kua wareware ano koe ki ahau, e ai ta te ariki, ta Ihowa.
In you they have received gifts to shed blood; they have received in you interest and usurious increase; and by oppression you have brought your wickedness to the full, and have forgotten me, says the Lord.
13 Nana, kua pakia e ahau toku ringa ki tau hao taonga i hao ai koe, ki ou toto ano kua heke na i waenganui i a koe.
And if I shall strike my hand at [your iniquities] which you have accomplished, which you have wrought, and at your blood that has been shed in the midst of you,
14 E u ranei tou ngakau, e pakari ranei ou ringa, i nga ra e mahi ai ahau ki a koe? Naku, na Ihowa te kupu, maku ano e mahi.
shall your heart endure? shall your hands be strong in the days which I bring upon you? I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].
15 Ka whakamararatia atu ano koe e ahau ki roto ki nga tauiwi, ka titaria hoki koe ki nga whenua, a ka poto i ahau tou poke i roto i a koe.
And I will scatter you amongst the nations, and disperse you in the countries, and your uncleanness shall be removed out of you.
16 Ka whakanoatia ano hoki koe e koe ano i te tirohanga a nga iwi, a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau.
And I will give heritages in you in the sight of the nations, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
17 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 E te tama a te tangata, ki ahau, kua rite te whare o Iharaira ki te para: he parahi ratou katoa, he tine, he rino, he mata i waenga oumu; he para hiriwa ratou katoa.
Son of man, behold, the house of Israel are all become to me [as it were] mixed with brass, and iron, and tin, and lead; they are mixed up in the midst of the silver.
19 Na reira tenei kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, he para nei koutou katoa, na, tenei ahau te kohikohi nei i a koutou ki waenganui o Hiruharama.
Therefore say, Thus says the Lord God; Because you have become one mixture, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20 Ka rite ki te kohikohinga o te hiriwa, o te parahi, o te rino, o te mata, o te tine ki waenganui o te oumu, puhia tonutia atu te ahi ki runga hei whakarewa; ka pena ano taku kohikohi i a koe i runga i toku riri, i toku weriweri, ka waiho ano kou tou e ahau ki reira, ka whakarewaina ano koutou.
As silver, and brass, and iron, and tin, and lead, are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow fire into it, that they may be melted: so will I take [you] in my wrath, and I will gather and melt you.
21 Ina, ka whakaminea koutou e ahau, ka pupuhi atu ano ahau ki a koutou i runga i te ahi, ara i toku riri, a ka rewa koutou i waenganui.
And I will blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst thereof.
22 Ka rite ki te whakarewanga o te hiriwa i roto i te oumu; ka pena ano to koutou whakarewanga i waenganui o taua oumu, a ka mohio koutou kua oti toku weriweri te riringi e ahau, e Ihowa, ki runga ki a koutou.
As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall you be melted in the midst thereof; and you shall know that I the Lord have poured out my wrath upon you.
23 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
24 E te tama a te tangata, mea atu ki a ia, He whenua koe kihai i purea, kihai ano i whai ua i te ra o te riri.
Son of man, say to her, You are the land that is not rained upon, neither has rain come upon you in the day of wrath;
25 E whakatakotoria ana he he e ana poropiti i waenganui i a ia, koia ano kei te raiona mangai nui e haehae ana i te tupapaku; kua pau nga wairua i a ratou; kua riro i a ratou nga taonga me nga mea utu nui; kua tini i a ratou ona pouaru i roto i a ia.
whose princes in the midst of her are as roaring lions seizing prey, devouring souls by oppression, and taking bribes; and your widows are multiplied in the midst of you.
26 Kua tukinotia e ana tohunga taku ture, whakanoatia ana e ratou aku mea tapu: kihai i wehea e ratou te tapu i te noa, kihai ano i whakakitea e ratou te wehenga o te poke, o te ma; ko o ratou kanohi huna ake e ratou ki aku hapati, a whakapokea ana ahau i roto i a ratou.
Her priests also have set at nothing my law, and profaned my holy things: they have not distinguished between the holy and profane, nor have they distinguished between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them.
27 Ko ona rangatira i roto i a ia, rite tonu ki te wuruhi e haehae ana i te tupapaku; he whakaheke toto, he whakangaro wairua, kia riro mai ai he taonga whanako.
Her princes in the midst of her are as wolves ravening to shed blood, that they may get dishonest gain.
28 I pania ano e ana poropiti he mea mo ratou ki te paru kihai i konatunatua; he moemoea horihori a ratou; he teka nga korero a aua tohunga tuaahu ki a ratou, i a ratou ka mea nei, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, i te mea kihai a Ihowa i kore ro.
And her prophets that daub them shall fall, that see vanities, that prophesy falsehoods, saying, Thus says the Lord, when the Lord has not spoken.
29 Ko ta te iwi o te whenua, he whakatupu kino, he pahua; ae ra, e tukinotia ana e ratou te ware me te rawakore; e whakatupuria kinotia ana e ratou te tautangata i te mea kahore nei he take.
That sorely oppress the people of the land with injustice, and commit robbery; oppressing the poor and needy, and not dealing justly with the stranger.
30 I te rapu ano ahau i te tangata i roto i a ratou hei hanga i te taiepa, hei tu ki te wahi pakaru ki toku aroaro mo te whenua, hei mea kei whakangaromia e ahau: heoi kihai i kitea.
And I sought from amongst them a man behaving uprightly, and standing before me perfectly in the time of wrath, so that I should not utterly destroy her: but I found [him] not.
31 Na reira i ringihia ai e ahau toku riri ki runga ki a ratou; kua whakapotoa ratou e ahau ki te ahi o toku riri: kua hoatu e ahau te utu o to ratou ara ki runga ki o ratou mahunga, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
So I have poured out my wrath upon her in the fury of mine anger, to accomplish [it]. I have recompensed their ways on their own heads, says the Lord God.
