Ehekiera 7
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 Na, e koe, e te tama a te tangata, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, ki te whenua o Iharaira: He whakamutunga! kua tae mai te whakamutunga ki nga pito e wha o te whenua.
And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel: An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
3 Ko aianei te whakamutunga mou, ka tukua atu e ahau toku riri ki runga ki a koe, ka rite ano ki ou ara taku whakarite mou; ka hoatu ano e ahau au mea whakarihariha katoa ki runga ki a koe.
Now is the end upon thee; and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will bring upon thee all thine abominations.
4 E kore ano toku kanohi e manawapa ki a koe, e kore ahau e tohu: engari ka hoatu e ahau te utu o ou ara ki a koe; ka mau hoki au mea whakarihariha ki roto i a koe, a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
5 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: He kino! he kino kotahi! nana, te haere mai nei.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an only evil! behold, it is come.
6 He whakamutunga kua tae mai, kua tae mai te whakamutunga, kei te oho ki a koe; nana, e haere mai nei.
The end is come, the end is come; it awaketh against thee: behold, it cometh.
7 Ko te mea kua rite mou, tenei kua tae mai, e te tangata o te whenua: kua tae mai te wa, kua tata te ra; he ra no te ngangau, ehara i te ra o te umere harakoa i runga o nga maunga.
The doom is come unto thee, inhabitant of the land; the time is come, the day is near, — tumult, and not the joyous cry from the mountains.
8 Akuanei ka tata te ringihia e ahau toku weriweri ki runga ki a koe, ka whakapaua e ahau toku riri ki a koe, ka rite ano ki ou ara taku whakarite mou; ka hoatu ano e ahau he utu ki a koe mo au mea whakarihariha katoa.
Now will I soon pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee; and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will bring upon thee all thine abominations.
9 E kore ano toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ahau e tohu; ka rite ki ou ara taku e hoatu ai ki a koe, ka mau ano au mea whakarihariha ki waenganui i a koe; a ka mohio koutou e whiu ana ano ahau, a Ihowa.
And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will render unto thee according to thy ways, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that it is I, Jehovah, that smite.
10 Nana, te ra; nana, kua tae mai: kua puta te mea ku rite mou; kua puawai te tokotoko, kua kopuku te whakapehapeha.
Behold the day, behold, it is come: the doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride is full blown.
11 Kua ara te tutu hei tokotoko mo te kino: e kore e toe tetahi o ratou, tetahi ranei o to ratou mano, o o ratou taonga ranei; kahore ano hoki he arikitanga i roto i a ratou.
Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: nothing of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth, nor of the magnificence in the midst of them.
12 Kua tae mai te wa, kua tata te ra: kaua te kaihoko mai e koa; kaua ano te kaihoko atu e pouri: no te mea ka pa te riri ki tona mano katoa.
The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for fierce anger is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 No te mea ahakoa i te ora raua, e kore te tangata i te utu e hoki atu ki te mea i hokona; mo ona mano katoa hoki te whakakitenga, e kore ratou e hoki; e kore ano tetahi e whakakaha i a ia i runga i tona he i ana mahi i a ia e ora ana.
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, even though he were yet alive amongst the living: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof; it shall not be revoked; and none shall through his iniquity assure his life.
14 Kua whakatangihia e ratou te tetere, a kua whakaritea nga mea katoa; heoi kahore he tangata e haere ana ki te whawhai; no te mea kei runga toku riri i ona mano katoa.
They have blown the trumpet and made all ready, but none goeth to the battle; for my fierce anger is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 I waho ko te hoari, i roto ko te mate uruta, ko te hemokai. Ko te tangata i te parae ka mate i te hoari; ko te tangata i te pa ka pau i te hemokai, i te mate uruta.
The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 Ko nga morehu o ratou e mawhiti, ka mawhiti, a ka noho ki nga maunga, ka rite ki nga kukupa o nga awaawa, tumutumu katoa ratou i runga i tona he, i tona he.
And they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one for his iniquity.
17 Ka ngoikore katoa nga ringa, a ka ngonge nga turi ano he wai.
All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall melt into water.
18 Ka whitikiria ano he kakahu taratara ki a ratou, ka taupokina ratou e te wehi; he whakama kei nga mata katoa, a i runga i o ratou mahunga katoa ko te pakira.
And they shall gird on sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19 Ka maka e ratou ta ratou hiriwa ki nga ara, ka waiho ta ratou koura hei mea poke; e kore ta ratou hiriwa, ta ratou koura, e tau hei whakaora i a ratou i te ra o to Ihowa riri; e kore e ngata o ratou wairua, e kore ano e ki o ratou puku i era: ko te tutukitanga waewae hoki tera i he ai ratou.
They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an impurity: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah's wrath; they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their belly; for it hath been the stumbling-block of their iniquity.
20 Na, ko te ataahua o tona whakapaipai, nana i whakawhiwhi ki te kororia: heoi hanga ana e ratou nga ahua o a ratou mea anuanu, o a ratou mea whakarihariha ki reira: no reira meinga iho e ahau hei mea poke ki a ratou.
And he set in majesty his beautiful ornament; but they made therein the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable things: therefore have I made it an impurity unto them.
21 Ka tukua ano e ahau hei taonga parakete ki te ringa o nga tangata ke, ki nga tangata kino o te whenua, hei taonga parau; a ka whakapokea e ratou.
And I will give it into the hands of strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.
22 Ka tahuri atu ano toku mata i a ratou, a ka whakapokea e ratou toku wahi ngaro; ka tae mai ano nga kaipahua ki reira whakapoke ai.
And I will turn my face from them; and they shall profane my secret [place]; and the violent shall enter into it, and profane it.
23 Hanga he mekameka: kua ki hoki te whenua i nga he whakaheke toto; ki tonu hoki te pa i te tutu.
Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24 Mo reira ka kawea mai e ahau nga tauiwi kino rawa, a ka riro o ratou whare i a ratou; ka mutu ano i ahau te whakapehapeha o te hunga kaha, ka whakapokea o ratou wahi tapu.
Therefore will I bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses; and I will make the pride of the strong to cease; and their sanctuaries shall be profaned.
25 Kei te haere mai te whakangaromanga; ka rapua e ratou te rangimarie; heoi kahore noa iho.
Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, but there shall be none.
26 Ka tae mai te aitua ki runga ki te aitua, te rongo ki runga ki te rongo: a ka rapua e ratou ta te poropiti whakakitenga; heoi ka whakakahoretia te ture i te tohunga, te whakaaro i nga kaumatua.
Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; and they shall seek a vision from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
27 Ka tangi te kingi, ko te ngaromanga hoki he kakahu mo te rangatira, ka ohooho ano nga ringa o te iwi o te whenua; ka rite ki o ratou ara taku e mea ai ki a ratou, kei a ratou ritenga ano hoki he ritenga mo taku whakawa i a ratou; a ka mohio rato u ko Ihowa ahau.
The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with dismay, and the hands of the people of the land shall tremble: I will do unto them according to their way, and with their judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
