Ehekiera 35
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
Moreover the LORD’s word 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, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. 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 will be desolate. Then you will 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 hostility, 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 GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will 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 I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. 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. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses.
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 will not be inhabited. Then you will 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 will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although 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 GOD, “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 amongst them when I 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 will know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to 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.
The Lord GOD says: “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 I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
