Ehekiera 8

1 Na i te ono o nga tau, i te ono o nga marama, i te rima o nga ra o te marama, e noho ana ahau i roto i toku whare, me te noho ano nga kaumatua o Hura i toku aroaro, na ka tau iho te ringa o te Ariki, o Ihowa, ki runga ki ahau i reira.

And in the sixt yere, in the sixt moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth, as I sate in mine house, and the Elders of Iudah sate before me, the hand of the Lord God fell there vpon me.

2 Na ka titiro atu ahau, nana, ko tetahi ahua me te mea he ahi ki te titiro atu; i tona hope a whakararo, he ahi ki te titiro atu; i tona hope ano a whakarunga, he wherikotanga ki te titiro atu, he mea rite te kara ki to te amipere.

Then I beheld, and lo, there was a likenesse, as the appearance of fire, to looke to, from his loynes downeward, and from his loynes vpward, as the appearance of brightnes, and like vnto amber.

3 Na ka totoro mai te ahua o te ringa, a hopukia ana ahau e ia i tetahi o nga makawe o toku matenga: katahi ahau ka hapainga atu e te wairua ki waenganui o te whenua, o te rangi, a kawea ana ahau e ia ki Hiruharama, he whakakitenga hoki na te Atua, ki te kuwaha o te keti o to roto marae e anga ana ki te raki; kei reira nei te nohoanga o te whakapakoko o te hae, e puta ai te hae.

And he stretched out the likenes of an had, and tooke me by an hearie locke of mine head, and the Spirit lift me vp betweene the earth, and the heauen, and brought mee by a Diuine vision to Ierusalem, into the entry of ye inner gate that lieth toward the North, where remained the idole of indignation, which prouoked indignation.

4 Na i reira ano te kororia o te Atua o Iharaira, he pera me te kitenga i kitea e ahau ki te mania.

And beholde, the glorie of the God of Israel was there according to the vision, that I saw in the fielde.

5 Katahi ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, tena ra, anga atu ou kanohi ra te ara ki te raki. Heoi ka anga oku kanohi ra te ara ki te raki, nana, i te taha ki te raki, i te kuwaha o te aata, ko tenei whakapakoko o te hae i te tomokanga atu.

Then saide he vnto mee, Sonne of man, lift vp thine eyes nowe towarde the North. So I lift vp mine eyes towarde the North, and beholde, Northward, at the gate of the altar, this idole of indignation was in the entrie.

6 A ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ka kite ranei koe i ta ratou e mea nei? ara i nga mea whakarihariha nui e mahia nei e te whare o Iharaira ki konei, e matara ai ahau i toku wahi tapu? otiia tera koe e kite ano i etahi atu mea whakarih ariha nunui.

He said furthermore vnto me, Sonne of man, seest thou not what they doe? euen the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here to cause me to depart from my Sanctuarie? but yet turne thee and thou shalt see greater abominations.

7 Na ka kawea ahau e ia ki te kuwaha o te marae; a, no taku tirohanga atu, nana, ko tetahi puta i te taiepa.

And he caused me to enter at the gate of the court: and when I looked, beholde, an hole was in the wall.

8 Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, tena, keria te taiepa; a, i taku keringa i te taiepa, na ko tetahi kuwaha.

Then said he vnto me, Sonne of man, digge nowe in the wall. And when I had digged in the wall, beholde, there was a doore.

9 A ka mea tera ki ahau, Haere ki roto, kia kite ai koe i nga mea whakarihariha, i nga mea kino e mahia nei e ratou ki konei.

And he said vnto mee, Go in, and beholde the wicked abominations that they doe here.

10 Heoi haere ana ahau ki roto, a ka kite; na, ko nga ahua katoa o nga mea ngokingoki, o nga kararehe whakarihariha, me nga whakapakoko katoa o te whare o Iharaira, he mea tuhituhi ki te taha o te whare a taka noa, taka noa.

So I went in, and sawe, and beholde, there was euery similitude of creeping thinges and abominable beasts and all the idoles of the house of Israel painted vpon the wall round about.

11 A i o ratou aroaro e tu ana e whitu tekau nga tangata, no nga kaumatua o te whare o Iharaira, a i waenganui o ratou e tu ana ko Iaatania tama a Hapana, he tahu whakakakara i te ringa o tenei, o tenei; a i kake whakarunga te kakara o te kapua o t e whakakakara.

And there stoode before them seuentie men of the Ancients of the house of Israel, and in the middes of them stoode Iaazaniah, ye sonne of Shaphan, with euerie man his censour in his hand, and the vapour of the incense went vp like a cloude.

12 Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, Kua kite ranei koe, e te tama a te tangata, i ta nga kaumatua o te whare o Iharaira e mea nei i te pouri, ia tangata, ia tangata, i ona whare whakaahua? e ki ana hoki ratou, E kore a Ihowa e kite i a tatou; kua mahue te whenua i a Ihowa.

Then saide hee vnto mee, Sonne of man, hast thou seene what the Ancients of the house of Israel do in the darke, euery one in the chamber of his imagerie? for they say, The Lord seeth vs not, the Lord hath forsaken the earth.

13 I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Tera koe e kite ano i etahi atu mea whakarihariha nunui e mahia ana e ratou.

Againe he saide also vnto me, Turne thee againe, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they doe.

14 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki te kuwaha o te keti o te whare o Ihowa, e anga ana whaka te raki; na ko nga wahine e noho ana i reira, e tangi ana ki a Tamutu.

And he caused me to enter into the entrie of the gate of the Lords house, which was toward the North: and beholde there sate women mourning for Tammuz.

15 Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, Ka kite ranei koe i tenei, e te tama a te tangata? Tera koe e kite ano i etahi mea whakarihariha nunui atu i enei.

Then saide hee vnto me, Hast thou seene this, O sonne of man? Turne thee againe, and thou shalt see greater abominations then these.

16 Na ka kawea ahau e ia ki to roto marae o te whare o Ihowa; nana, i te kuwaha o te temepara o Ihowa, i te takiwa o te whakamahau, o te aata, ko etahi tangata, ki te whakaaro iho e rua tekau ma rima, ko o ratou tuara e anga ana ki te temepara o Ih owa, ko o ratou mata ki te rawhiti; e koropiko ana ratou ki te ra whaka te rawhiti.

And he caused me to enter into the inner court of the Lordes house, and beholde, at the doore of the Temple of the Lord, betweene the porche and the altar were about fiue and twentie men with their backs toward the Temple of the Lord, and their faces towarde the East, and they worshipped the sunne, towarde the East.

17 Katahi ka mea ia ki ahau, Ka kite ranei koe i tenei, e te tama a te tangata? He mea mama noa ake ianei tenei ki te whare o Hura kia mahia e ratou nga mea whakarihariha e mahia nei e ratou ki konei? na ratou hoki i kapi ai te whenua i te tutu, a hoki mai ana ratou ki te whakapataritari i ahau: nana, kei te whakapa ano ratou i te manga ki to ratou ihu.

The he said vnto me, Hast thou seene this, O sonne of man? Is it a small thing to the house of Iudah to commit these abominations which they do here? for they haue filled the land with crueltie, and haue returned to prouoke mee: and loe, they haue cast out stinke before their noses.

18 Na ka mahi ano ahau i runga i te weriweri; e kore toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ano ahau e tohu; ahakoa nui to ratou reo e karanga ai ki oku taringa, e kore ahau e rongo ki a ratou.

Therefore will I also execute my wrath: mine eye shall not spare them, neither will I haue pitie, and though they crie in mine eares with a loude voyce, yet will I not heare them.
