Ezekiel 11-12
Maori Bible
11 I hapainga ake ano ahau e te wairua, a kawea ana e ia ki te keti ki te rawhiti o te whare o Ihowa, ki tera e anga ra ki te rawhiti. Na i te kuwaha o te keti e rua tekau ma rima nga tangata; a i kite ahau i roto i a ratou i a Iaatania tama a Aturu raua ko Peratia tama a Penaia, he rangatira no te iwi.
2 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ko nga tangata enei e whakaaro ana i te kino, e whakatakoto ana i te tikanga he i roto i tenei pa:
3 E ki ana, kahore ano i tata te wa e hanga whare ai: ko tenei pa te kohua, ko tatou te kikokiko.
4 Mo reira poropititia te he mo ratou; poropititia, e te tama a te tangata.
5 Na ka tau te wairua o Ihowa ki ahau, a ka mea ki ahau, Ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko ta koutou korero tenei, e te whare o Iharaira: na, ko na mea e puta ake ana i o koutou wairua, mohio tonu ahau.
6 Kua whakatokomahatia e koutou a koutou tupapaku ki tenei pa, kua whakakiia ano e koutou ona huarahi ki te tupapaku.
7 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko a koutou tupapaku kua hinga nei i a koutou ki waenganui o tenei pa, ko ratou te kikokiko, ko tenei pa te kohua: ko koutou ia ka whakaputaina atu i waenganui o konei.
8 I wehi koutou i te hoari; ka kawea mai ano e ahau te hoari ki a koutou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
9 Ka whakaputaina atu ano koutou e ahau i waenganui o konei, ka hoatu ki te ringa o te tangata ke, ka mahia ano e ahau he whakawa i waenganui i a koutou.
10 Ka hinga koutou i te hoari; ka whakawakia koutou e ahau ki te rohe o Iharaira, a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa, ahau.
11 E kore tenei pa e waiho hei kohua mo koutou, e kore ano hoki koutou e waiho hei kikokiko mo roto; ka whakawakia koutou e ahau ki te rohe o Iharaira;
12 A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau; kihai hoki koutou i haere i runga i aku tikanga, a kihai i mahia e koutou aku whakaritenga, engari i rite tonu a koutou mahi ki nga ritenga a nga iwi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha o koutou.
13 Na i ahau e poropiti ana, ka mate a Peratia tama a Penaia. Katahi ahau ka tapapa ki raro, he nui toku reo ki te karanga, i mea ahau, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa! ka poto rawa ranei i a koe nga morehu o Iharaira?
14 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea ia,
15 E te tama a te tangata, ko ou tuakana, ko ou teina, ko ou whanaunga, ko te whare katoa ano o Iharaira, rupeke, rupeke, ko ratou enei, kua ki mai nei nga tangata o Hiruharama ki a ratou, kia matara atu i a Ihowa; kua homai tenei whenua ki a matou hei kainga tupu:
16 Mo reira me ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ahakoa i maka atu ratou e ahau ki tawhiti, ki roto ki nga iwi, ahakoa i whakamararatia ratou e ahau ki nga whenua, ka ai ano ia ahau hei wahi tapu mo ratou i nga whenua e tae ai ratou mo te wa nohinohi nei.
17 Mo reira me ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka kohikohia koutou e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ka huihuia ano i nga whenua i whakamararatia ai koutou, ka hoatu ano e ahau te oneone o Iharaira ki a koutou.
18 Ka tae ano ratou ki reira, ka whakakahoretia ano e ratou nga mea whakarihariha katoa o reira, me nga mea anuanu o reira.
19 Ka hoatu ano e ahau he ngakau kotahi ki a ratou, ka hoatu ano he wairua hou ki a koutou; ka tangohia ano e ahau te ngakau kohatu i o ratou kikokiko, a ka hoatu he ngakau kikokiko ki a ratou:
20 Kia haere ai ratou i runga i aku tikanga, kia puritia ai aku whakaritenga, mahia iho: a waiho tonu iho ratou hei iwi maku, ko ahau ano hei Atua mo ratou.
21 Ko te hunga ia kei te whai nei o ratou ngakau i te ngakau o a ratou mea whakarihariha, o a ratou mea anuanu, ka utua e ahau o ratou ara ki runga ki o ratou mahunga, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
22 Katahi ka ara nga parirau o nga kerupima, a ko nga wira i to ratou taha; i runga ano hoki te kororia o te Atua o Iharaira i a ratou, i te taha ki runga.
23 Na ka kake te kororia o Ihowa i roto i te pa, tu rawa ki runga ki te maunga ki te taha ki te rawhiti o te pa.
24 Muri iho ka hapainga ahau e te wairua, he mea i roto i te whakakitenga, na te wairua o te Atua, ki Karari, ki nga whakarau. Heoi ka kake atu i ahau te kitenga i kitea e ahau.
25 Na korerotia ana e ahau ki nga whakarau nga mea katoa i whakakitea ki ahau e Ihowa.
12 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
2 E te tama a te tangata, kei te noho koe i waenganui i te whare whakakeke, he kanohi nei o ratou hei titiro, heoi kahore e titiro, he taringa o ratou e rongo ai, heoi kahore e rongo; no te mea he whare whakakeke ratou.
3 Mo reira whakapaingia etahi mea mau, e te tama a te tangata, mo te heke, ka heke i te awatea i ta ratou tirohanga; me heke atu i tou wahi ki tetahi atu wahi i ta ratou tirohanga; tera pea ratou e mahara iho, ahakoa he whare whakakeke ratou.
4 Whakaputaina mai ano au mea ki waho i te awatea i ta ratou tirohanga, kia rite ki nga mea a te heke: me haere atu koe i te ahiahi i ta ratou tirohanga, kia rite ki te haerenga o te heke.
5 Pokaia e koe te taiepa i ta ratou tirohanga, a maua atu tau kawenga ma reira.
6 I a ratou e titiro ana, amohia e koe i runga i tou pokohiwi, me mau atu i te pouri; ko tou mata hipoki rawa, kei kite koe i te whenua; no te mea kua whakaturia koe e ahau hei tohu ki te whare o Iharaira.
7 Na mahia ana e ahau nga mea i whakahaua mai ai ahau; whakaputaina ana e ahau aku mea i te awatea, nga mea a te heke, a i te ahiahi ka pokaia e ahau te taiepa he mea mea na toku ringa; i whakaputaina e ahau i te pouri, amohia ana e ahau i runga i toku pokohiwi i ta ratou tirohanga.
8 Na i te ata ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,
9 E te tama a te tangata, kihai ianei te whare o Iharaira, te whare whakakeke, i mea ki a koe, E aha ana koe?
10 Ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Mo te rangatira i Hiruharama tenei pikaunga, mo te whare katoa o Iharaira e noho nei ratou i reira.
11 Ki atu, hei tohu ahau ki a koutou; ka penei i taku i mea nei, ka peratia ano ki a ratou; ka heke atu ratou, ka riro i te whakarau.
12 Ko te rangatira i roto i a ratou ka amo te pokohiwi i te pouri, ka haere atu; ka pokaia te taiepa hei whakaputanga atu; ko tona mata hipoki rawa, no te mea e kore ia e kite i te whenua ki ona kanohi.
13 Ka taupokina ano ia e ahau ki taku kupenga, ka mau i taku rore; ka kawea ano ia e ahau ki Papurona, ki te whenua o nga Karari; otiia e kore ia e kite i reira, ahakoa ka mate ia ki reira.
14 A ka titaritaria atu e ahau ki nga hau katoa te hunga katoa i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, hei awhina i a ia, ratou ko ona ropu katoa; ka maunu ano i ahau te hoari hei whai i a ratou.
15 A ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina whakamararatia ratou e ahau ki roto ki nga tauiwi, ina titaritaria ki nga whenua.
16 Ka whakatoea ano ia etahi o ratou e ahau, he hunga torutoru, i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta; kia korero ai ratou i a ratou mea whakarihariha katoa i roto i nga iwi ka haere atu nei ratou ki reira, a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
17 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
18 E te tama a te tangata, e wiri koe ina kai i tau taro, inumia hoki tou wai i runga i te ohooho, i te manukanuka;
19 Ki atu hoki ki te iwi o te whenua, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa mo nga tangata o Hiruharama, mo te oneone o Iharaira: Ka kainga e ratou ta ratou taro i runga i te manukanuka, ka inumia hoki to ratou wai i runga i te miharo, he mea kia ta koto kau ai tona whenua i ona mea maha, mo te tutu o nga tangata katoa e noho ana i reira.
20 Na, ko nga pa e nohoia ana, ka waiho hei koraha, ka ururuatia ano te whenua; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
21 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea:
22 E te tama a te tangata, he aha tena whakatauki a koutou i te whenua o Iharaira, e mea na, Ka roa nei nga ra, kua kore ano he kitenga?
23 Mo reira ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka mutu i ahau tenei whakatauki, e kore ano e whakataukitia e ratou a muri ake nei i roto i a Iharaira; mea atu ia ki a ratou, Ka tata nga ra, me te meatanga ano o nga kitenga kat oa.
24 No te mea i muri nei kahore he kitenga teka, kahore he poropititanga tinihanga i roto i te whare o Iharaira.
25 Ko Ihowa hoki ahau; ka korero ahau, a ko te kupu e korerotia e ahau, ka oti; e kore e kumea kia roa i muri nei: no te mea i o koutou ra nei, e te whare whakakeke, ka korerotia e ahau, ka mahia ano te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
26 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
27 E te tama a te tangata, nana, e ki ana te whare o Iharaira, Mo nga ra maha te kitenga e kitea nei e ia, ko nga wa i tawhiti rawa tana e poropiti nei.
28 Mo reira ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, E kore tetahi o aku kupu e kumea kia roa a muri nei; engari ko te kupu e korerotia e ahau ka oti, e ai ta te ariki, ta Ihowa.

Ezekiel 11-12
New International Version
God’s Sure Judgment on Jerusalem
11 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the Lord that faces east. There at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men, and I saw among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah(A) son of Benaiah, leaders(B) of the people.(C) 2 The Lord said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who are plotting evil(D) and giving wicked advice in this city.(E) 3 They say, ‘Haven’t our houses been recently rebuilt? This city is a pot,(F) and we are the meat in it.’(G) 4 Therefore prophesy(H) against them; prophesy, son of man.”
5 Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and he told me to say: “This is what the Lord says: That is what you are saying, you leaders in Israel, but I know what is going through your mind.(I) 6 You have killed many people in this city and filled its streets with the dead.(J)
7 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: The bodies you have thrown there are the meat and this city is the pot,(K) but I will drive you out of it.(L) 8 You fear the sword,(M) and the sword is what I will bring against you, declares the Sovereign Lord.(N) 9 I will drive you out of the city and deliver you into the hands(O) of foreigners and inflict punishment on you.(P) 10 You will fall by the sword, and I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel.(Q) Then you will know that I am the Lord. 11 This city will not be a pot(R) for you, nor will you be the meat in it; I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel. 12 And you will know that I am the Lord,(S) for you have not followed my decrees(T) or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you.(U)”
13 Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah(V) son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! Will you completely destroy the remnant of Israel?(W)”
The Promise of Israel’s Return
14 The word of the Lord came to me: 15 “Son of man, the people of Jerusalem have said of your fellow exiles and all the other Israelites, ‘They are far away from the Lord; this land was given to us as our possession.’(X)
16 “Therefore say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary(Y) for them in the countries where they have gone.’
17 “Therefore say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.’(Z)
18 “They will return to it and remove all its vile images(AA) and detestable idols.(AB) 19 I will give them an undivided heart(AC) and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone(AD) and give them a heart of flesh.(AE) 20 Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.(AF) They will be my people,(AG) and I will be their God.(AH) 21 But as for those whose hearts are devoted to their vile images and detestable idols,(AI) I will bring down on their own heads what they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AJ)”
22 Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory(AK) of the God of Israel was above them.(AL) 23 The glory(AM) of the Lord went up from within the city and stopped above the mountain(AN) east of it. 24 The Spirit(AO) lifted me up and brought me to the exiles in Babylonia[a] in the vision(AP) given by the Spirit of God.
Then the vision I had seen went up from me, 25 and I told the exiles everything the Lord had shown me.(AQ)
The Exile Symbolized
12 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people.(AR) They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people.(AS)
3 “Therefore, son of man, pack your belongings for exile and in the daytime, as they watch, set out and go from where you are to another place. Perhaps(AT) they will understand,(AU) though they are a rebellious people.(AV) 4 During the daytime, while they watch, bring out your belongings packed for exile. Then in the evening, while they are watching, go out like those who go into exile.(AW) 5 While they watch, dig through the wall(AX) and take your belongings out through it. 6 Put them on your shoulder as they are watching and carry them out at dusk. Cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have made you a sign(AY) to the Israelites.”
7 So I did as I was commanded.(AZ) During the day I brought out my things packed for exile. Then in the evening I dug through the wall with my hands. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulders while they watched.
8 In the morning the word of the Lord came to me: 9 “Son of man, did not the Israelites, that rebellious people, ask you, ‘What are you doing?’(BA)
10 “Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: This prophecy concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the Israelites who are there.’ 11 Say to them, ‘I am a sign(BB) to you.’
“As I have done, so it will be done to them. They will go into exile as captives.(BC)
12 “The prince among them will put his things on his shoulder at dusk(BD) and leave, and a hole will be dug in the wall for him to go through. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land.(BE) 13 I will spread my net(BF) for him, and he will be caught in my snare;(BG) I will bring him to Babylonia, the land of the Chaldeans,(BH) but he will not see(BI) it, and there he will die.(BJ) 14 I will scatter to the winds all those around him—his staff and all his troops—and I will pursue them with drawn sword.(BK)
15 “They will know that I am the Lord, when I disperse them among the nations(BL) and scatter them through the countries. 16 But I will spare a few of them from the sword, famine and plague, so that in the nations where they go they may acknowledge all their detestable practices. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(BM)”
17 The word of the Lord came to me: 18 “Son of man, tremble as you eat your food,(BN) and shudder in fear as you drink your water. 19 Say to the people of the land: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: They will eat their food in anxiety and drink their water in despair, for their land will be stripped of everything(BO) in it because of the violence of all who live there.(BP) 20 The inhabited towns will be laid waste and the land will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the Lord.(BQ)’”
There Will Be No Delay
21 The word of the Lord came to me: 22 “Son of man, what is this proverb(BR) you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by and every vision comes to nothing’?(BS) 23 Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in Israel.’ Say to them, ‘The days are near(BT) when every vision will be fulfilled.(BU) 24 For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations(BV) among the people of Israel. 25 But I the Lord will speak what I will, and it shall be fulfilled without delay.(BW) For in your days, you rebellious people, I will fulfill(BX) whatever I say, declares the Sovereign Lord.(BY)’”
26 The word of the Lord came to me: 27 “Son of man, the Israelites are saying, ‘The vision he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future.’(BZ)
28 “Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
