1 A nd thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah.

Na ko koe e te tama a te tangata, poropiti atu ki nga maunga o Iharaira, mea atu, E nga maunga o Iharaira, whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa.

2 T hus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha! and, The ancient high places are become ours in possession;

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua mea nei te hoariri ki a koutou, Ha! na, Kua riro mai hoki mo tatou nga pukepuke onamata:

3 t herefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because, yea, because they have made desolate, and have swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the remnant of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and in the defaming of the people:

Mo reira, poropiti atu, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua meinga na koutou e ratou kia tu kau, kua horomia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, i riro ai koutou ma nga toenga o nga iwi, i hapainga ake ai e nga ngutu o nga arero kape tau, i korerotia kinotia ai e te iwi:

4 t herefore, 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 water-courses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and a derision to the remnant of the nations that are round about,

Mo reira, 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 awaawa, ki nga ururua kua takoto kau, ki nga pa kua mahue, kua riro nei hei pahu atanga, hei katanga ma nga toenga o nga iwi a tawhio noa.

5 — therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the remnant of the nations, and against the whole of Edom, which have appointed my land unto themselves for a possession with the joy of all heart, with despite of soul, to plunder it by pillage.

Na reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, He pono he ahi toku hae, i ahau i korero ai i te he mo nga toenga o nga iwi, mo Eroma katoa ano; mo ta ratou meatanga i toku whenua hei kainga mo ratou, pau katoa te ngakau ki te koa, kino tonu te hi nengaro, mo tera kia peia atu, kia waiho hei taonga parau.

6 P rophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the water-courses and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the ignominy of the nations;

Na reira poropititia te whenua o Iharaira, ki atu ki nga maunga, ki nga pukepuke, ki nga awa, ki nga awaawa, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, kua korero ahau i runga i toku hae, i toku weriweri, no te mea e mau ana ki a koutou te whaka ma o nga tauiwi:

7 t herefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I have lifted up my hand, Verily the nations that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

Na reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Kua ara toku ringa kua mea, He pono, ko nga iwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha, ka mau ki a ratou to ratou whakama.

8 A nd ye mountains of Israel shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel: for they are at hand to come.

Ko koutou ia, e nga maunga o Iharaira, ka wana o koutou manga, ka whai hua koutou ma taku iwi, ma Iharaira; ka tata hoki ratou te puta.

9 F or behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown.

No te mea, nana, ka aro ahau ki a koutou, ka tahuri ki a koutou, a ka ngakia koutou, ka whakatokia.

10 A nd I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, the whole of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded.

Ka tini ano i ahau nga tangata ki a koutou, te whare katoa o Iharaira, ratou katoa, a ka mohoia nga pa, ka hanga ano nga ururua.

11 A nd I will multiply upon you man and beast, and they shall increase and bring forth fruit; and I will cause you to be inhabited as your former times, yea, I will make it better than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I Jehovah.

Ka tini ano i ahau nga tangata ki a koutou, me nga kararehe; a ka tini ratou, ka hua; ka meinga hoki koutou e ahau kia nohoia, kia pera me to mua, a ka pai atu taku e mea ai ki a koutou i to o koutou timatanga: a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.

12 A nd I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of children.

Ae ra, ka meinga koutou e ahau kia haereerea e te tangata, e taku iwi, e Iharaira; ka riro koe i a ratou, ka waiho hoki koe hei kainga tupu mo ratou, a heoi ano matenga o a ratou tamariki i a koe.

13 T hus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because they say unto you, Thou devourest men, and hast bereaved thy nation,

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua korerotia nei ki a koutou, He kai tangata koe, e te whenua, e whakamate ana i nga tamariki a tou iwi;

14 t herefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nation any more, saith the Lord Jehovah;

Na reira e kore koe e kai tangata a muri ake nei, e kore ano e hinga i a koe ou iwi a muri nei, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

15 n either will I cause thee to hear the ignominy of the nations any more, and thou shalt not bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nation to fall any more, saith the Lord Jehovah.

Heoi ano aku meatanga kia rangona ki a koe te numinumi i nga iwi, e kore ano e mau ki a koe i nga wa i muri te tawai a nga iwi; e kore ano koe e mea i nga waewae o ou iwi kia tutuki a ake ake, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

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

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

17 S on of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a woman in her separation.

E te tama a te tangata, i te nohoanga o te whare o Iharaira i to ratou oneone, i whakapokea a reira e ratou ki to ratou ara, ki a ratou mahi: ko to ratou ara i toku aroaro, rite tonu ki te poke o te wahine e paheke ana.

18 A nd I poured out my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.

Heoi ringihia ana e ahau toku weriweri ki runga ki a ratou, mo te toto i tahoroa e ratou ki runga ki te whenua, mo a ratou whakapakoko hoki i whakapokea ai a reira e ratou.

19 A nd I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

A whakamararatia atu ana ratou e ahau ki roto ki nga iwi, titaria atu ana ki nga whenua; rite tonu ki to ratou ara, ki a ratou mahi taku whakarite mo ratou.

20 A nd when they came to the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them, These are the people of Jehovah, and they are gone forth out of his land.

A, i to ratou taenga ki nga iwi i haere atu ai ratou, whakanoatia ana e ratou toku ingoa tapu, i a ratou i ki ra mo ratou, Ko te iwi tenei a Ihowa, a kua puta atu ratou i tona whenua.

21 B ut I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations whither they went.

Otiia i whai whakaaro ahau ki toku ingoa tapu i whakanoatia nei e te whare o Iharaira i roto i nga tauiwi i haere atu ai ratou.

22 T herefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations whither ye went.

Mo reira ki atu ki te whare o Iharaira; Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ehara i te mea he whakaaro ki a koutou i mahi ai ahau i tenei, e te whare o Iharaira; engari ki toku ingoa tapu i whakanoatia nei e koutou i roto i nga tauiwi i haere atu ai koutou.

23 A nd I will hallow my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I Jehovah, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I shall be hallowed in you before their eyes.

Ka whakatapua ano e ahau toku ingoa nui i whakanoatia nei i roto i nga tauiwi, ko ta koutou ra i whakanoa ai i roto i a ratou; a ka mohio nga tauiwi ko Ihowa ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ina whakatapua ahau i roto i a koutou i to ratou aroa ro.

24 A nd I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.

Ka tangohia mai hoki koutou e ahau i roto i nga tauiwi, ka whakaminea i nga whenua katoa, ka kawea mai ano ki to koutou oneone.

25 A nd I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your uncleannesses and from all your idols will I cleanse you.

Ka tauhiuhia ano koutou e ahau ki te wai ma, a ka ma koutou: ka purea koutou e ahau, a kore iho o koutou poke katoa, a koutou whakapakoko katoa.

26 A nd I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

Ka hoatu ano e ahau he ngakau hou ki a koutou, ka hoatu ano e ahau he wairua hou ki roto ki a koutou; ka tangohia ano e ahau te ngakau kohatu i roto i o koutou kikokiko, a ka hoatu he ngakau kikokiko ki a koutou.

27 A nd I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and keep mine ordinances, and ye shall do them.

Na ka hoatu e ahau toku wairua ki roto ki a koutou, a ka meinga koutou e ahau kia haere i runga i aku tikanga, ka puritia ano e koutou aku ritenga, ka mahia.

28 A nd ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

A ka noho koutou ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki o koutou matua, ko koutou hoki hei iwi maku, ko ahau hei Atua mo koutou.

29 A nd I will save you from all your uncleannesses; and I will call for the corn and will multiply it, and lay no famine upon you.

Ka whakaorangia ano koutou e ahau i o koutou poke katoa: ka karangatia hoki e ahau te witi, ka whakanuia hoki e ahau, e kore ano te hemokai e tukua e ahau ki a koutou.

30 A nd I will multiply the fruit of the trees and the increase of the field, so that ye may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.

A ka meinga e ahau kia maha nga hua o te rakau me nga mau o te mara, a heoi ano te tawai hemokai mo koutou i roto i nga tauiwi.

31 A nd ye shall remember your evil ways, and your doings which were not good, and shall loathe yourselves for your iniquities and for your abominations.

Katahi koutou ka mahara ki o koutou ara kino, ki a koutou mahi kahore nei e pai; a ka anuanu koutou ki a koutou ano i o koutou aroaro mo o koutou kino, mo a koutou mea whakarihariha hoki.

32 N ot for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord Jehovah, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

Ehara i te mea he whakaaro ki a koutou i mahi ai ahau i tenei, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, kia mohio koutou: kia whakama koutou, kia numinumi kau ki o koutou ara, e te whare o Iharaira.

33 T hus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded.

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; I te ra e purea ai e ahau o koutou he katoa, ka meinga e ahau nga pa kia nohoia, a ka hanga nga ururua.

34 A nd the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by.

Na, ko te whenua i takoto kau ra, ka ngakia; he ururua ra hoki i mua ki te titiro a te hunga katoa e tika ana na reira.

35 A nd they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities fortified inhabited.

A ka korerotia, Ko tenei whenua i takoto kau ra, kua rite ki te kari o Erene; na, ko nga pa kua ururuatia, ko era i takoto kau ra, ko nga mea pakura, kua oti te taiepa, e nohoia ana.

36 A nd the nations that shall be left round about you shall know that I Jehovah build the ruined places plant that which was desolate: I Jehovah have spoken, and I will do.

Katahi ka mohio nga iwi kua mahue i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha, kua hanga e ahau, e Ihowa, nga wahi i pakaru, a kua whakatokia e ahau nga wahi kua ururuatia: naku, na Ihowa te kupu, maku ano e mahi.

37 T hus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it unto them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tenei ake ka uia tenei ki ahau e te whare o Iharaira, kia meatia ki a ratou; ka tokomaha ratou i ahau, me e mea he kahui te tangata.

38 A s the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her set feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I Jehovah.

Ka rite ki te kahui mo te whakahere, ki te kahui o Hiruharama i ona hakari nunui; ka pena ano nga pa kua ururuatia, ka kapi i nga kahui tangata; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
