Ehekiera 5

1 Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, tikina he hoari koi mau, tikina hei heu mau, ko te heu a te kaiheu, ka whakahaere ai ki runga ki tou mahunga, ki tou pahau ano: katahi ka tiki i etahi pauna hei pauna mau, ka wehe ai i nga makawe.

And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, using it like a haircutter's blade, and making it go over your head and the hair of your chin: and take scales for separating the hair by weight.

2 Ko tetahi whakatoru o nga wahi me tahu e koe ki te ahi ki waenganui o te pa, ina rite nga ra o te whakapaenga: na ka mau ki tetahi whakatoru, ka hahau ki te hoari i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha: a ko tetahi whakatoru me titari atu ki te hau: ka maunu hoki i ahau te hoari hei whai i a ratou.

You are to have a third part burned with fire inside the town, when the days of the attack are ended; and a third part you are to take and give blows with the sword round about it; and give a third part for the wind to take away, and let loose a sword after them.

3 Me tango ano e koe etahi o aua makawe, kia torutoru, ka takai ki roto ki nga pito o tou.

And take from them a small number of hairs, folding them in your skirts.

4 Me tango etahi o aua makawe, ka maka ki waenganui o te ahi, ka tahu ai ki te ahi; ka puta mai i reira he ahi ki te whare katoa o Iharaira.

And again take some of these and put them in the fire, burning them up in the fire; and say to all the children of Israel,

5 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko Hiruharama tenei; he mea whakatu ia naku ki waenga o nga iwi, a ko nga whenua e karapoi ana i a ia.

This is what the Lord has said: This is Jerusalem: I have put her among the nations, and countries are round her on every side;

6 A kua whakakeke ia ki aku whakaritenga, nui atu hoki tana mahi kino i ta nga iwi, ki aku tikanga hoki, nui atu i ta nga whenua i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha: kua paopao nei hoki ratou ki aku whakaritenga, a kihai i waiho e ratou aku tikanga he i ara mo ratou.

And she has gone against my orders by doing evil more than the nations, and against my rules more than the countries round her: for they have given up my orders, and as for my rules, they have not gone in the way of them.

7 No reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, I te mea kua nui ake to koutou tutu i to nga iwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha, kihai hoki koutou i haere i runga i aku tikanga, kihai i mahi i aku whakaritenga, kihai ano i rite ta koutou ma hi ki nga ritenga a nga iwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha;

For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have been more uncontrolled than the nations round about you, and have not been guided by my rules or kept my orders, but have kept the orders of the nations round about you;

8 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana ko ahau, ko ahau rawa nei, hei hoariri mou; a ka whakaritea e ahau he whakaritenga i waenganui ou i te tirohanga a nga iwi.

For this cause the Lord has said: See, I, even I, am against you; and I will be judging among you before the eyes of the nations.

9 Ka mahia ano e ahau i roto i a koe he mea kihai i mahia e ahau i mua, e kore he pena e mahia e ahau a muri; mo au mea whakarihariha katoa hoki.

And I will do in you what I have not done and will not do again, because of all your disgusting ways.

10 A ka kai nga matua i nga tamariki i roto i a koe, ka kai ano nga tamariki i o ratou matua; ka mahia ano e ahau he whakaritenga i roto i a koe, ka titaria atu ano e ahau ou morehu katoa ki nga hau katoa.

For this cause fathers will take their sons for food among you, and sons will make a meal of their fathers; and I will be judge among you, and all the rest of you I will send away to every wind.

11 Mo reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, kua whakapokea nei e koe toku wahi tapu ki au mea whakarihariha katoa, ki au mea anuanu katoa, mo reira ka tino whakaititia ano koe e ahau; e kore toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ano ahau e to hu.

For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have made my holy place unclean with all your hated things and all your disgusting ways, you will become disgusting to me; my eye will have no mercy and I will have no pity.

12 Ka mate tetahi whakatoru ou i te mate uruta, ka poto atu hoki i te hemokai i roto i a koe; a ka hinga tetahi whakatoru ou i te hoari i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha: na, ko tetahi whakatoru, ka titaria e ahau ki nga hau katoa, ka maunu ano i aha u te hoari hei whai i a ratou.

A third of you will come to death from disease, wasting away among you through need of food; a third will be put to the sword round about you; and a third I will send away to every wind, letting loose a sword after them.

13 Na ka whakapaua atu toku riri, ka meinga ano e ahau kia tutuki toku weriweri ki runga ki a ratou, ka whai whakamarietanga ano ahau; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau te korero nei i runga i toku hae, ina whakapaua e ahau toku weriweri ki runga ki a ratou.

So my wrath will be complete and my passion will come to rest on them; and they will be certain that I the Lord have given the word of decision, when my wrath against them is complete.

14 Ka meinga ano koe e ahau hei ururua, hei ingoa kino i roto i nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, i te tirohanga a nga tangata katoa e haere atu ana.

And I will make you a waste and a name of shame among the nations round about you, in the eyes of everyone who goes by.

15 Heoi ka waiho a kona hei ingoa kino, hei tawainga, hei mea e ako ai, e miharo ai nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, ina mahia e ahau nga whakaritenga ki a koe i runga i te riri, i te weriweri, i nga whakatupehupehu, aritarita rawa: naku, n a Ihowa te kupu,

And you will be a name of shame and a cause of bitter words, an example and a wonder to the nations round about you, when I give effect to my judging among you in wrath and in passion and in burning protests: I the Lord have said it:

16 Ina tukua e ahau ki a ratou nga pere kino o te hemokai, hei whakamoti, ko aku e tuku atu ai hei whakamoti i a koutou; ka whakanuia ano e ahau to koutou hemokai, whati iho to koutou tokotoko, ara te taro.

When I send on you the evil arrows of disease, causing destruction, which I will send to put an end to you; and, further, I will take away your necessary food.

17 Ka tukua atu ano e ahau te hemokai ki a koutou, me nga kirehe kikino, a ka poto i a ratou au tamariki; ka tika atu ano te mate uruta me te whakaheke toto i waenganui i a koe; ka kawea atu ano e ahau te hoari ki a koe. Naku na Ihowa te kupu.

And I will send on you need of food and evil beasts, and they will be a cause of loss to you; and disease and violent death will go through you; and I will send the sword on you: I the Lord have said it.
