Ehekiera 39

1 Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, poropititia he he mo Koko, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e Koko, e te tino rangatira o Roho, o Meheke, o Tupara;

And do thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Resh, Meshech, and Tubal!

2 A ka whakatahuritia koe e ahau, ka arahina atu koe, ka meinga hoki kia puta ake koe i nga pito rawa ki te raki, a ka kawea mai koe e ahau ki runga ki nga maunga o Iharaira.

I will turn thee, and lead thee about, and cause thee to come up from the regions of the North. and bring thee upon the mountains of Israel.

3 Ka patua atu ano e ahau tau kopere i roto i tou maui, ka meinga hoki au pere kia marere i roto i tou matau.

And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

4 Ka hinga koe ki runga ki nga maunga o Iharaira, a koe, me ou ropu katoa, me nga iwi i a koe: ka hoatu koe e ahau hei kai ma nga manu kai kino o ia ahau, o ia ahau, ma nga kirehe ano o te parae.

Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou and all thy hosts, and the nations that are with thee. To the ravenous birds of every wing, and to the beasts of the forest, give I thee to be devoured.

5 Ka hinga koe ki te mata o te parae: naku hoki te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa,

Thou shalt fall upon the open field; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.

6 Ka tukua atu ano e ahau he ahi ki a Makoko, ratou ko te hunga e noho humarie ana i nga motu, a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

And I will send a fire upon Magog, and upon them that dwell in security in the sea-coasts; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

7 A ka meinga e ahau toku ingoa tapu kia mohiotia i roto i taku iwi, i a Iharaira, e kore ano e tukua e ahau kia whakapokea toku ingoa tapu a muri ake nei: a ka mohio nga tauiwi ko Ihowa ahau, ko te Mea Tapu i roto i a Iharaira.

So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not suffer my holy name to be polluted any more; and the nations shall

8 Nana, kua tae mai, kua oti, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa; ko te ra tenei i korerotia ra e ahau.

know that I am Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel. Behold it cometh, and shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah. This is the day of which I spake.

9 Ka puta ano nga tangata o nga pa o Iharaira, a ka tahuna e ratou, ka wera ano i a ratou nga patu, nga whakangungu rakau, nga puapua, nga kopere, nga pere, nga hani, nga tao; ko nga tau e tahuna ai aua mea e ratou, e whitu.

Then shall the inhabitants of the cities of Israel go forth, and set on fire and burn the weapons, the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, the hand-staves and the spears, and they shall make fires of them seven years.

10 E kore hoki e maua e ratou he wahie i te parae, e kore ano e tapahia i nga ngahere; no te mea ka tahuna e ratou nga patu ki te ahi: ka pahuatia e ratou o ratou kaipahua, ka murua nga taonga o o ratou kaimuru, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

They shall take no wood from the field, neither shall they cut down any from the forests; for they shall make their fires of the weapons. And they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and plunder those that plundered them, saith the Lord Jehovah.

11 Na a taua ra ka hoatu e ahau ki a Koko he wahi tanumanga ki reira, ki a Iharaira, ko te raorao o nga tira haere i te taha ki te rawhiti o te moana; kutia iho ki reira nga ihu o nga tira haere: ka tanumia hoki ki reira a Koko ratou ko ana mano ti ni: a ka huaina a reira, Ko te raorao o Hamono Koko.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give to Gog a place there, a grave in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea; and it shall stop the way of passengers. There shall they bury Gog and all his multitude, and they shall call it “The valley of the multitude of Gog.”

12 A e whitu nga marama o te whare o Iharaira e tanu ana i a ratou kia watea ai te whenua.

And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them, that they may cleanse the land.

13 Ina, ka tanumia ratou e te iwi katoa o te whenua; a hei ingoa nui ki a ratou i te ra e whakakororiatia ai ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be renown to them, in the day when I shall be glorified, saith the Lord Jehovah.

14 Ka wehea ano e ratou etahi tangata, he mea tuturu, hei haere i runga i te whenua, hei tanu i nga tira haere, i te hunga e toe ana i runga i te mata o te whenua, kia watea ai: i te mutunga o nga marama e whitu ka rapu ratou.

And they shall set apart men to be constantly employed, who, passing through the land, with the aid of those that pass by, shall bury those that remain upon the face of the land to cleanse it; at the end of the seven months shall they search.

15 A ka haere nga tira haere, ka tika i te whenua; ka kite tetahi i te whenua tangata, ka whakaturia e ia he tohu ki tona taha, kia tanumia ra ano e nga kaitanu ki te raorao o Hamono Koko.

And when any of the travellers that pass through the land shall see a man's bone, they shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of the multitude of Gog.

16 A ko Hamona hoki hei ingoa mo tetahi pa. Na ka watea te whenua.

Also the name of a city shall be Multitude. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

17 Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Mea atu ki nga manu o ia ahau, o ia ahua, ki nga kirehe katoa o te parae, Huihui mai, haere mai; whakamine mai koutou i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, ki taku patunga e patua nei e ahau ma koutou, he patunga nui ki runga ki nga maunga o Iharaira, kia kai kikokiko ai, kia inu toto ai koutou.

And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Say to the birds of every wing, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves and come, gather yourselves from every side to my sacrifice which I make for you, a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel; and ye shall eat flesh and drink blood;

18 Ka kai koutou i nga kikokiko o te hunga marohirohi, ka inu i nga toto o nga rangatira o te whenua, o nga hipi toa, o nga reme, o nga koati, o nga puru, he mea momona katoa no Pahana.

the flesh of the mighty shall ye eat, and the blood of the princes of the earth shall ye drink, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatted in Bashan.

19 A ka kai koutou i te ngako a makona noa, ka inu hoki i te toto a haurangi, noa, he mea no taku patunga e patua e ahau ma koutou.

And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I make for you.

20 Na ka makona koutou i nga hoiho o taku tepu, i nga hoiho hariata, i nga marohirohi, i nga tangata whawhai katoa, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

Thus shall ye be filled at my table with horses and riders, and mighty men and warriors of all kinds, saith the Lord Jehovah.

21 Ka whakaturia e ahau toku kororia ki roto ki nga tauiwi, a ka kite nga tauiwi katoa i taku whakawa e whakaritea e ahau, i toku ringa ano ka pa nei ki a ratou.

And I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have executed, and my hand which I have laid upon them.

22 Na ka mohio te whare o Iharaira, ko Ihowa ahau, ko to ratou Atua, i taua ra a ake ake.

And the house of Israel shall know that I am Jehovah, their God, from that day and forward.

23 Ka mohio ano nga tauiwi, he he no te whare o Iharaira i whakaraua ai ratou: he pokanga ketanga no ta ratou ki ahau i huna ai e ahau toku mata ki a ratou, heoi tukua ana ratou e ahau ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri: a hinga katoa ana i te hoari.

And the nations shall know that the house of Israel were carried into captivity for their iniquity. Because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies, so that they all fell by the sword.

24 Ko taku i mea ai ki a ratou rite tonu ki to ratou poke, ki o ratou pokanga ketanga, a huna ana e ahau toku mata ki a ratou.

According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I dealt with them, and hid my face from them.

25 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka whakahokia mai e ahau aianei a Hakopa i te whakarau, ka aroha ahau ki te whare katoa o Iharaira; ka hae hoki ahau, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa tapu;

Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have compassion upon the whole house of Israel, and be jealous for my holy name.

26 A ka whakawaha e ratou to ratou whakama, o ratou pokanga ketanga katoa hoki i poka ke ai ta ratou ki ahau, ina noho humarie ratou i to ratou whenua, a kahore he tangata hei whakawehi i a ratou;

Then shall they forget their shame and all their trespasses with which they trespassed against me, when they dwell in security in their own land, and none maketh them afraid.

27 Ina oti ratou te whakahoki mai e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ina kohikohia mai ratou i nga whenua o o ratou hoariri, a ka whakatapua ahau i runga i a ratou i te tirohanga a nga iwi maha.

When I bring them back from the nations, and gather them from the lands of their enemies, then will I be glorified in regard to them before the eyes of many nations.

28 Katahi ratou ka mohio ko Ihowa ahau, ko to ratou Atua, i mea nei kia whakaraua ratou ki roto ki nga tauiwi, i kohikohi ano i a ratou ki to ratou oneone; a kahore noa iho tetahi o ratou e mahua i ahau ki reira.

And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, in that I caused them to be carried into captivity among the nations, and gathered them into their own land, and left none of them there.

29 E kore ano e huna e ahau toku mata a muri ake nei ki a ratou: kua ringihia hoki e ahau toku wairua ki runga ki te whare o Iharaira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

And I will hide my face from them no more; for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.
