1 T he word of Jehovah also came unto me, saying,

I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

2 S on of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.

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 T herefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

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 A nd thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing; and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.

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 D ig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.

Pokaia e koe te taiepa i ta ratou tirohanga, a maua atu tau kawenga ma reira.

6 I n their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the land: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.

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 A nd I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for removing, and in the even I digged through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.

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 A nd in the morning came the word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

Na i te ata ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,

9 S on of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?

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 S ay thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.

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 S ay, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.

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 A nd the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.

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 M y net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

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 nd I will scatter toward every wind all that are round about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.

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 nd they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.

A ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina whakamararatia ratou e ahau ki roto ki nga tauiwi, ina titaritaria ki nga whenua.

16 B ut I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations whither they come; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

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 M oreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

18 S on of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with fearfulness;

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 a nd say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and despoiled of all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.

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 A nd the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

Na, ko nga pa e nohoia ana, ka waiho hei koraha, ka ururuatia ano te whenua; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.

21 A nd the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea:

22 S on of man, what is this proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

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 T ell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the fulfilment of every vision.

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 F or there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

No te mea i muri nei kahore he kitenga teka, kahore he poropititanga tinihanga i roto i te whare o Iharaira.

25 F or I am Jehovah; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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 A gain the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

27 S on of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many day to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off.

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 T herefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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.
