Ehekiera 35
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki Maunga Heira, poropititia te he mo reira,
"Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 Mea atu hoki ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e Maunga Heira, a ka totoro atu toku ringa ki a koe, ka ururua rawa koe i ahau, ka meinga hoki hei miharotanga.
and tell it, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.
4 Ko ou pa ka tuhea i ahau, a hei ururua koe, a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau.
I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
5 No te mea he mauahara mau tonu tou, a kua tukua e koe nga tama a Iharaira ki te kaha o te hoari i te wa o to ratou aitua, i te wa o te he i te mutunga.
"'"Because you have had a perpetual enmity, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
6 Mo reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ka mahia koe e ahau hei mea mo te toto, ka whaia ano koe e te toto; kihai na koe i kino ki te toto, na ka whaia koe e te toto.
therefore, as I live," says the LORD, "I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.
7 Heoi ka meinga e ahau a Maunga Heira hei matakitakinga, hei ururua; a ka hatepea atu e ahau te tangata e tika ana na reira, te tangata ano e hoki mai ana.
Thus will I make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
8 A ka whakakiia e ahau ona maunga ki ona tupapaku: a, ko te hunga e patua ki te hoari, ka hinga ki ou pukepuke, ki ou awaawa, ki ou rerenga wai katoa.
I will fill its mountains with its slain: in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses shall they fall who are slain with the sword.
9 Ka ururua koe i ahau a ake ake; e kore ano ou pa e nohoia, a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
10 Na, kua mea na koe, Ko enei iwi e rua, ko enei whenua e rua moku, mo tatou tonu hoki; i te mea kei reira nei ano a Ihowa;
"'"Because you have said, 'These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it'; whereas the LORD was there:
11 Mo reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ko taku mahi ka rite ki tou riri, ki tou hae, i hae ai koe i a koe i mauahara ra ki a ratou; a ka whakakitea atu ahau ki a ratou, ina rite i ahau te whakawa mou.
therefore, as I live," says the LORD, "I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge you.
12 Na ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau, a kua rangona e ahau au kohukohu katoa i korerotia e koe mo nga maunga o Iharaira, i a koe i ki ra, Kua ururua, kua homai hei kai ma tatou.
You shall know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they have been given us to devour.
13 A kua whakakake mai o koutou mangai ki ahau, kua whakamaha i a koutou kupu moku: kua rongo ahau.
You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it."
14 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; A te wa e koa ai te whenua katoa, ka ururua koe i ahau.
Thus says the LORD: "When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
15 I koa na koe ki te kainga o te whare o Iharaira, kua ururua na, ka pena ano ahau ki a koe: ka ururua koe, e Maunga Heira, e Eroma katoa, ae ra, katoa; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am the LORD."'"
