Ehekiera 38
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
And the word of Jehovah 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 thy face against Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Resh, 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Resh, 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 thee about, and put rings into thy jaws; and I will bring thee forth, thee and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in gorgeous apparel, even a great multitude with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.
5 Ko Pahia, ko Etiopia, ko Putu o ratou hoa: rite katoa ratou i te whakangungu rakau, i te potae whawhai:
Persians, Ethiopians, and Lybians are with them, all of them with shields and helmets.
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 bands, the house of Togarmah from the north quarters, and all their hosts, many nations are with thee.
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 prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou and all thy host that are assembled unto thee, and be thou their leader!
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 shalt thou be appointed over them. In the latter years shalt thou come into a land that is brought back from the sword, gathered out of many nations upon the mountains of Israel, which had been long desolate; but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell securely, all of them.
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.
Thou shalt go up like a storm, thou shalt come like a cloud, to cover the land, thou and all thy bands, and many nations with thee.
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 saith the Lord Jehovah: At the same time shall thoughts come into thy mind, and thou shalt meditate an evil design,
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 shalt say, “I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that 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 take a spoil and to divide a prey, to turn my hand against the desolated places that have become inhabited, and against a people gathered out of the nations, possessing cattle and goods, dwelling in the heights 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, and all the chiefs thereof, shall say to thee, “Art thou come to take a spoil? Hast thou gathered thy company to divide a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, and to divide 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 prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In that day when my people Israel dwelleth securely, thou shalt observe it,
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.
and thou shalt come up from the regions of the North, thou and many nations with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty host;
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.
thou shalt come up against my people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land; in the latter days it shall come to pass, that I will bring thee against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in regard to thee, before their eyes, O Gog!
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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Art thou not he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days and years, that I would bring thee 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.
And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, that my anger shall ascend in fury.
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 jealousy, in the fire of my wrath, have I spoken, Surely in 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 fishes of the sea, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the field; and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the ground, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence; and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places 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.
And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord Jehovah, and they shall all turn their swords against each other,
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.
And I will contend against him with pestilence, and with blood; and overflowing showers, and great hailstones, fire and brimstone, will I rain upon him and his hosts, and the many nations that are with him.
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.
Thus will I show myself in my greatness and glory, and make myself known before the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
