Ehekiera 38
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki Koko, o te whenua o Makoko, ki te rangatira o Roho, o Meheke, o Tupara, ka poropiti atu he he mona;
"Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 Mea atu hoki, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, hei hoariri tenei ahau mou, e Koko, e te rangatira o Roho, o Meheke, o Tupara:
and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 Ka whakatahuritia ano koe e ahau, ka whakamaua he matau ki ou kauae, a ka whakaputaina koe ki waho, me tou ope katoa, nga hoiho, me nga kaieke hoiho, he mea whakakakahu ratou katoa ki nga kakahu o te whawhai, he ope nui me te puapua, me te whakan gungu rakau, a he hapai hoari ratou katoa.
and I will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them armed with swords;
5 Ko Pahia, ko Etiopia, ko Putu o ratou hoa: rite katoa ratou i te whakangungu rakau, i te potae whawhai:
Persia, Ethiopia, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
6 A Komere, me ona ropu katoa; te whare o Tokarama, o nga pito rawa ki te raki, ratou ko ona ope katoa: ara ko nga iwi maha i tou taha.
Gomer, and all his troops; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with you.
7 Kia noho rite koe, ae ra, whakatikatika i a koe, i a koe me ou ropu katoa kua huihui nei ki a koe, a ko koe hei kaitiaki mo ratou.
"'"Be ready and stay ready, you and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
8 Kia maha nga ra ka tirohia koe, i nga tau whakamutunga ka tae koe ki te whenua i whakahokia mai i te hoari, i kohikohia mai i roto i nga iwi maha, ki nga maunga o Iharaira kua ururua noa ake: heoi kua oti te whakaputa mai i roto i nga iwi, a ka n oho humarie ratou katoa.
After many days you shall be summoned: in the latter years you shall come to a land that is restored from war, a gathering from many peoples on the mountains of Israel, that had long been in ruins. Its people were brought out from the peoples, and all of them now live securely.
9 A ka kake koe, ka haere mai koe me te paroro, a ka rite koe ki te kapua e taupoki ana i te whenua, a koe, me ou ropu katoa, koutou tahi ko nga iwi maha.
You shall advance, coming like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you, all your troops, and the many other peoples with you."
10 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, i taua ra ka puta ake he mea i tou ngakau, a ka whakaaroa e koe he whakaaro nanakia.
"'Thus says the LORD: "It shall happen on that day, that thoughts shall come into your mind, and you shall devise an an evil scheme:
11 A ka mea koe, Ka haere ahau ki te whenua i nga pa kore taiepa; ka tae ahau ki te hunga e ata noho ana, e noho wehikore ana, e noho ana ratou katoa kahore he taiepa, kahore he tutaki, kahore he keti:
and you shall say, 'I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to those who who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;
12 Ki te pahua i nga taonga, ki te tango mea parakete; tahuri tonu tou ringa ki nga wahi ururua kua nohoia, ki te iwi kua oti te kohikohi mai i roto i nga tauiwi, a kua whiwhi ki te kararehe, ki te taonga, e noho ana i waenganui o te whenua.
to seize spoil and carry off plunder; to turn my hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, acquired livestock and goods, who live at the center of the earth.'
13 Na ka mea a Hepa, a Rerana, ratou ko nga kaihokohoko o Tarahihi, me nga kuao raiona katoa o reira ki a koe, Kua tae mai ranei koe ki te pahua taonga? kua whakaminea ranei e koe tau hui ki te tango i nga mea parakete? ki te mau atu i te hiriwa, i te koura, ki te tango i nga kararehe, i nga taonga, ki te pahua i nga taonga maha?
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young warriors will say to you, 'Have you assembled your armies to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to to seize great spoil?'"'
14 Mo reira, e te tama a te tangata, poropiti, mea atu ki a Koko, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, I te ra e noho humarie ai taku iwi, a Iharaira, e kore ianei e mohiotia e koe?
"Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, 'Thus says the LORD: "On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, you will take notice?
15 A tera koe e haere mai i tou wahi i nga pito rawa ki te raki, koutou ko nga iwi maha, ko ratou katoa i runga i te hoiho, he hui nui, he ope nui.
You shall come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army;
16 A ka whakaekea e koe taku iwi a Iharaira, me te mea he kapua e taupoki ana i te whenua; a i nga ra whakamutunga ka kawea koe e ahau ki te whawhai ki toku whenua, kia mohio ai nga tauiwi ki ahau, ina ka whakatapua ahau i runga i a koe, e Koko, i ta ratou tirohanga.
and you shall come up against my people Israel, as a cloud covering the land. But when this happens in future days, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me, Gog, when through you I show my holiness in their sight."
17 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Ko koe ranei tera i korerotia ra e ahau, ara e aku pononga, e nga poropiti o Iharaira, i nga ra onamata, i poropititia hoki e ratou i aua ra, he maha nga tau, taku kawenga i a koe ki a ratou?
"'Thus says the LORD: "Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?"
18 Na a taua ra, a te ra e haere mai ai a Koko ki te whenua o Iharaira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ka puta ake toku weriweri ki oku pongaihu.
But it shall happen on that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,' says the LORD, 'that my hot anger will be aroused.
19 Kua korero hoki ahau i runga i toku hae, i runga i te ahi o toku riri, He pono i taua ra ka nui te ru ki te whenua o Iharaira;
For in my zeal, in the fire of my fury, I declare that on that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 A ka wiri nga ika o te moana ki toku aroaro, nga manu ano o te rangi, nga kirehe o te parae, nga mea ngokingoki katoa e ngokingoki ana i runga i te whenua, me nga tangata katoa i runga i te mata o te whenua, ka turakina iho hoki nga maunga, ka h inga nga wahi poupou, ka hinga ano nga taiepa katoa ki te whenua.
so that the fish of the sea, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the field, and all crawling creatures who crawl on the land, and all people who are on the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence. And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 A ka karangatia e ahau he hoari hei patu mona, puta noa i oku maunga katoa, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa: a ko te hoari a tena tangata, a tena tangata, ka anga atu ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa.
I will call for a sword against him on all my mountains,' says the LORD: 'every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22 A ko taku mea hei totohe ki a ia, he mate uruta, he toto; ka uaina iho ano e ahau he ua, he waipuke, he whatu nui, he ahi, he whanariki, ki a ia, ki ona ropu, ki nga iwi maha e whai ana i a ia.
With pestilence and with bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him, and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, torrential rains and hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Na ka whakanui ahau i ahau, ka whakatapu ano ahau i ahau; a ka mohiotia ahau i te tirohanga a nga iwi maha, a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'
