< Ehekiera 32 >
1 Na, i te tekau ma rua o nga tau, i te tekau ma rua o nga marama, i te tuatahi o nga ra o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
It happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 E te tama a te tangata, kia ara tou tangi mo Parao kingi o Ihipa, mea atu hoki ki a ia, Ko tou rite kei te kuao raiona o nga iwi; otiia e rite ana koe ki te tarakona o nga moana: i kokiri mai ano koe me ou awa, pokarekare ana nga wai i ou waewae, poke ana i a koe o ratou awa.
"Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, 'You were likened to a young lion of the nations: yet you are as a monster in the seas; and you broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.'
3 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka horahia e ahau taku kupenga ki runga ki a koe, he huihuinga hoki no nga iwi maha; a ka riro ake koe i a ratou i taku kupenga.
"Thus says the LORD: 'I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring you up in my net.
4 Ka waiho ano koe e ahau ki runga ki te whenua, ka akiritia atu ano koe ki te mata o te parae, maku ano e mea kia nohoia koe e nga manu katoa o te rangi, kia makona ano nga kirehe o te whenua katoa i a koe.
I will leave you on the land, I will cast you forth on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you, and I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.
5 Ka takoto ano i ahau ou kikokiko ki runga ki nga maunga, ka whakakiia ano nga awaawa ki a koe e tiketike na.
I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
6 Ka whakamakukuria ano e ahau ki ou toto te whenua e kau na koe, a tutuki noa ki nga maunga; ka ki ano hoki nga awa i a koe.
I will also water with your blood the land in which you swim, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of you.
7 A ka oti koe te tinei e ahau, ka hipokina e ahau te rangi, ka whakapouritia ano hoki nga whetu o reira; ka hipokina e ahau te ra ki te kapua, e kore ano e titi te atarau.
When I shall extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.
8 Na, ko nga whakamarama katoa e marama nei te rangi, ka whakapouritia e ahau ki runga ki a koe, ka hoatu ano e ahau he pouri ki runga ki tou whenua, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
All the bright lights of the sky will I make dark over you, and set darkness on your land, says the LORD.
9 He maha ano nga iwi e mamae o ratou ngakau i ahau, ina meinga e ahau kia tae atu tou whakangaromanga ki nga iwi, ki nga whenua kihai i mohiotia e koe.
I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
10 Ina, he maha nga iwi e meinga e ahau kia ketekete ki a koe, ka nui ano te wehi o o ratou kingi, ina whakaaro ki a koe, ua wherikoriko taku hoari ki to ratou aroaro; hono tonu ano to ratou wiri, ia tangata, ia tangata, i te wehi mo tona oranga an o, i te ra e hinga ai koe.
Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.'
11 No te mea ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tera e tae atu te hoari a te kingi o Papurona ki a koe
"For thus says the LORD: 'The sword of the king of Babylon shall come on you.
12 Ka meinga e ahau ou mano tini, te hunga nanakia o nga iwi, ratou katoa kia hinga i nga hoari a nga marohirohi: a ka pahuatia e ratou nga mea whakai o Ihipa, ka ngaro ano o reira mano tini katoa.
By the swords of the mighty will I cause your multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall bring to nothing the pride of Egypt, and all its multitude shall be destroyed.
13 Ka ngaro ano i ahau o reira kararehe katoa i te taha o nga wai maha; e kore ano e pokarekare i te wae tangata a muri ake nei, e kore ano e ngarungaru i te wae kararehe.
I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of animals trouble them.
14 Ko reira ahau mea ai i o ratou wai kia purata, ka meinga ano e ahau o ratou awa kia rite ki te hinu te rere, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil,' says the LORD.
15 Kia meinga e ahau te whenua o Ihipa hei ururua, a kore iho nga tini mea o te whenua, kia patua ano e ahau te hunga katoa e noho ana i reira, katahi ratou ka mohio ko Ihowa ahau.
'When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I shall strike all those who dwell in it, then shall they know that I am the LORD.
16 Ko te tangi tenei e tangihia ai ia e ratou, ka tangihia ia e nga tamahine a nga iwi: ka tangihia ia e ratou, ara a Ihipa ratou ko ona mano tini, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
This is the lamentation with which they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith,' says the LORD."
17 Na, i te tekau ma rua o nga tau, i te tekau ma rima o nga ra o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
It happened also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 E te tama a te tangata, aue ki te mano tini o Ihipa, maka iho ratou, a ia, me nga tamahine a nga iwi nunui, ki nga wahi o raro rawa o te whenua, ratou ko te hunga e heke ana ki te rua.
"Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.
19 He ataahua rawa koe i a wai? heke iho, takoto tahi koutou ko te hunga kokotikore.
'Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.'
20 Ka hinga ratou ki waenga i te hunga i patua ki te hoari: kua tukua atu ia ki te hoari: toia atu me ona mano tini katoa.
They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword; draw her away and all her multitudes.
21 Ka korero mai nga tangata kaha o nga marohirohi ki a ia i roto i te reinga, ratou ko ona kaiawhina: kua heke ratou ki raro, kei te takoto ratou, te korikori, ara nga kokotikore, he mea patu ki te hoari. (Sheol )
The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol with those who help him: 'They are gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.' (Sheol )
22 Kei reira ano a Ahuru ratou ko tona hui katoa: ko ona urupa, kei tetahi taha ona, kei tetahi taha; he mea patu katoa, kua hinga i te hoari.
"Asshur is there and all her company; her graves are all around her; all of them slain, fallen by the sword;
23 Ko ona urupa, he mea mahi ki nga pito rawa o te rua; ko tona ropu ano kei tetahi taha o tona urupa, kei tetahi taha; he mea patu katoa ratou, kua hinga i te hoari, te hunga i puta ai te wehi ki te whenua o te hunga ora.
whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.
24 Kei reira a Erama, ratou ko ona mano tini i tetahi taha o tona urupa, i tetahi taha; ko ratou katoa he mea patu, kua hinga i te hoari, he hunga kua heke kokotikore atu ki nga wahi o raro rawa o te whenua, he hunga i mea i to ratou wehi kia puta ki te whenua o te hunga ora; heoi kei te mau te whakama o ratou, o te hunga ano e heke ana ki te rua.
"There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.
25 Kua hanga te takotoranga mona ki roto ki te hunga i patua, mo ratou ano ko ona mano tini katoa: ko ona urupa kei tetahi taha ona, kei tetahi taha; he kokotikore ratou katoa, he mea patu ki te hoari: i puta hoki to ratou wehi ki te whenua o te hu nga ora, heoi kua mau te whakama o ratou, o te hunga ano e heke ana ki te rua: kua tukua atu ia ki roto ki te hunga i patua.
They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude; her graves are around her; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of those who are slain.
26 Kei reira a Meheke, a Tupara, ratou ko ona mano tini katoa; ko ona urupa kei tetahi taha ona kei tetahi taha, he mea kokotikore ratou katoa, he mea patu ki te hoari; i puta ano to ratou wehi i mua ki te whenua o te hunga ora.
"There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude around her grave; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living.
27 E kore ano ratou e takoto i roto i nga marohirohi o nga kokotikore kua hinga, kua heke ki te reinga me a ratou patu ano o te whawhai: i whakatakotoria ano e ratou a ratou hoari ki raro i o ratou mahunga, a kei te mau o ratou kino ki o ratou when ua; ko te hunga hoki tena i wehi ai nga marohirohi o te whenua o te ora. (Sheol )
And they are not buried with the fallen warriors of ancient times, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and having their swords placed under their heads, but the punishment for their iniquity rested on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol )
28 Otiia ka whatiia koe i roto i te hunga kokotikore, ka takoto tahi hoki koutou ko te hunga i patua ki te hoari.
"But you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shall lie with those who are slain by the sword.
29 Kei reira a Eroma, ona kingi, ona rangatira katoa i tukua nei i runga i to ratou marohirohi ki roto ki te hunga i werohia e te hoari: ka takoto tahi ratou ko nga kokotikore, ratou ano ko te hunga e heke ana ki te rua.
"There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit.
30 Kei reira nga ariki o te raki, ratou katoa, me nga Haironi katoa i heke nei i roto i te hunga i patua; whakama iho ratou i te wehi i tupu mai i to ratou marohirohi, a takoto kokotikore ana ratou i roto i te hunga i patua ki te hoari, me te mau t e whakama o ratou, o te hunga ano e heke ana ki te rua.

31 E kite a Parao i a ratou, a ka whai whakamarietanga ki ana mano tini katoa i patua ki te hoari, a Parao ratou ko tana ope katoa, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
"Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword," says the LORD.
32 No te mea kua tukua e ahau tona wehi ki te whenua o te hunga ora: a ka whakatakotoria ia ki roto ki te hunga kokotikore, ratou ko te hunga i patua ki te hoari, a Parao ratou ko ana mano tini, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
