Ehekiera 6
1 I puta 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 nga maunga o Iharaira, ka poropiti ki a ratou,
Son of man, set thy face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them!
3 Ka mea atu, E nga maunga o Iharaira, whakarongo ki te kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa ki nga maunga, ki nga pukepuke, ki nga awa, ki nga raorao: Tenei ahau, ahau nei ano, te kawe nei i te hoari ki runga ki a koutou, a ka kore i ahau o koutou wahi tiketike.
And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah! Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the plains and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring the sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places;
4 Ka whakaururuatia a koutou aata, ka tukitukia a koutou whakapakoko: a ka maka e ahau ki mua i a koutou whakapakoko o koutou tangata i whakamatea.
and your altars shall be desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain before your idols.
5 Ka takoto ano i ahau nga tinana o nga tama a Iharaira ki mua i a ratou whakapakoko; ka titaria ano e ahau o koutou wheua ki a koutou aata a taka noa.
And I will lay the carcasses of the sons of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
6 I o koutou nohoanga katoa ka ururuatia nga pa, ka mokemoke ano nga wahi tiketike, he mea kia ururuatia ai a koutou aata, kia mokemoke ai; kia tukitukia ai ano a koutou whakapakoko, mutu ake ta ratou; ka poutoa ano a koutou whakapakoko, kia whakak ahoretia ai hoki a koutou mahi.
In all places where ye dwell shall the cities be laid waste, and the high places be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken, and cease, and your sun-images may be cut down, and your works may be destroyed.
7 Ka hinga ano te parekura i roto i a koutou; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, that ye may know that I am Jehovah.
8 Ka toe ano ia i ahau etahi, kia mawhiti ai etahi o koutou i te hoari i roto i nga iwi, ina titaria atu koutou ki nga whenua.
Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall have escaped the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
9 Na, ko te hunga o koutou e mawhiti, ka mahara ratou ki ahau i roto i nga iwi e whakaraua atu ai ratou, ki taku pakaruhanga i to ratou ngakau puremu, kua mawehe atu nei i ahau, me o ratou kanohi hoki, e haere nei ki te puremu ki o ratou whakapakok o: a anuanu iho ratou ki a ratou ano mo nga kino i mahia nei e ratou, mo a ratou mea whakarihariha katoa.
And they of you that escape shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, when I have broken their whorish heart which departed from me, and their eyes which went lusting after their idols; and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
10 Ka mohio hoki ratou ko Ihowa ahau; ehara ano taku i te mea noa iho i taku kianga ka mahia tenei kino ki a ratou.
Then shall they know that I am Jehovah, and that I have not said in vain, that I would do all this evil to them.
11 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, papaki tou ringa, takahi iho tou waewae, me te ki ake ano, Aue, te mate mo nga kino whakarihariha katoa o te whare o Iharaira! ka hinga hoki ratou i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Smite upon thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence shall they fall.
12 Ko te tangata i tawhiti ka mate i te mate uruta; ko te tangata e tata ana ka hinga i te hoari; ko te tangata e toe ana, e whakapaea ana, ka mate i te hemokai: na ka whakapaua e ahau toku riri ki a ratou.
He that is far off shall die by pestilence, and he that is near shall fall by the sword, and he that remaineth and is preserved shall die by famine. Thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
13 A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ina takoto o ratou tangata i patua i waenganui o a ratou whakapakoko i tetahi taha o a ratou aata, i tetahi taha, i runga i nga pukepuke tiketike katoa, i runga i nga tihi katoa o nga maunga, i raro ano i nga rak au kouru nui katoa, i raro i nga oki pururu katoa, i te wahi i tukua atu ai e ratou te kakara reka ki a ratou whakapakoko katoa.
Then shall ye know that I am Jehovah, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, upon all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, in every place where they offered sweet savor to all their idols.
14 Ka totoro atu hoki toku ringa ki a ratou, a ka meinga te whenua kia ururua, kia takoto kau, i te koraha e anga ana ki Ripirata, puta noa i o ratou nohoanga: a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
So will I stretch out my hand against them, and make the land desolate; yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
