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

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

2 E te tama a te tangata, mea atu ki te rangatira o Taira: Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Kua whakakake na tou ngakau, kua mea, He atua ahau, e noho ana i te nohoanga o te Atua, i waenga moana, ahakoa ki tau ko tou ngakau e rite ana ki to te Atua ngakau:

Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit the seat of God, in the heart of the seas, (and thou art a man, and not God,) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of God:

3 N ana, nui atu ou whakaaro i o Raniera; kahore he mea ngaro e taea te huna i a koe.

behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! nothing secret is obscure for thee;

4 H e nui no ou whakaaro, he matauranga nou i mahia ai e koe he taonga mou, i mahia ai e koe he koura, he hiriwa ki roto ki ou whare taonga.

by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;

5 H e nui noa atu no ou whakaaro, he hokohoko nau, i whakaraneatia ai e koe ou rawa, a whakakake ana tou ngakau i ou rawa.

by thy great wisdom thou hast by thy traffic increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches.

6 M o reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Kua whai ake na tou ngakau ki to te Atua ngakau;

Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God,

7 M o reira tenei ahau te kawe nei i nga tautangata ki a koe, te hunga nanakia rawa o nga iwi; a ka unuhia e ratou a ratou hoari hei whawhai ki te ataahua o ou whakaaro nui, ka whakapokea ano e ratou tou kanapatanga.

therefore behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall tarnish thy brightness.

8 K a whakahokia iho koe e ratou ki te poka, a, ko te mate mou, ko nga mate o te hunga e patua ana i waenga moana.

They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of those that are slain in the heart of the seas.

9 E mea ake ano ranei koe ki te aroaro o tou kaipatu, Ko te Atua ahau? otiia he tangata ano koe, ehara koe i te Atua i roto i te ringa o tou kaipatu.

Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and not God, in the hand of him that pierceth thee.

10 K o tou matenga, ko nga matenga o te hunga kokotikore i te ringa o nga tautangata: naku hoki te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

12 E te tama a te tangata, kia ara tau tangi mo te kingi o Taira, mea atu hoki ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Kei te tino o te pai tau hiri, ki tonu koe i nga whakaaro nunui, pai rerehua te ataahua.

Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, who sealest up the measure of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty,

13 I Erene koe, i te kari a te Atua e noho ana; ko tou hipoki ko nga kohatu utu nui katoa, ko te harariu, ko te topaha, ko te taimana, ko te perira, ko te onika, ko te hahapa, ko te hapaira, ko te emerara, ko te kapakara, ko te koura: i whakapaia a no te mahi o au timipera, o au putorino i roto i a koe i te ra i hanga ai koe.

thou wast in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the emerald, and gold. The workmanship of thy tambours and of thy pipes was in thee: in the day that thou wast created were they prepared.

14 K o koe te kerupa hipoki, te mea i whakawahia; naku ano koe i mea hei pena, i noho ai koe i runga i te maunga tapu o te Atua; i haereere ano koe i roto i nga kohatu ahi.

Thou wast the anointed covering cherub, and I had set thee: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou didst walk up and down in the midst of stones of fire.

15 T apatahi tonu koe i ou ara, i te ra ra ano i hanga ai koe, a taea noatia te kitenga o te he i roto i a koe.

Thou wast perfect in thy ways, from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.

16 H e nui no au hokohokonga i ki ai a roto i a koe i te tutu, a hara iho koe; mo reira ka maka atu koe, te mea poke, e ahau i te maunga o te Atua: ka ngaro ano koe, e te kerupa hipoki, i roto i nga kohatu ahi.

By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned; therefore have I cast thee as profane from the mountain of God, and have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17 K ua whakakake tou ngakau ki tou ataahua, na tou kanapatanga i he ai ou whakaaro nui: kua panga koe e ahau ki te whenua, kua tukua koe e ahau ki te aroaro o nga kingi, hei matakitakinga ma ratou.

Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18 K ua whakapokea e koe ou wahi tapu ki te maha o ou kino, ki te he i a koe i hokohoko ra; mo reira i whakaputaina mai ai e ahau he ahi i roto i a koe, hei kai i a koe, a kua meinga ano koe e ahau hei pungarehu ki runga ki te whenua i te tirohanga a te hunga katoa e kite ana i a koe.

By the multitude of thine iniquities, by the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries: and I have brought forth a fire out of the midst of thee—it hath consumed thee; and I have brought thee to ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all them that behold thee.

19 K o te hunga katoa e mohio ana ki a koe i roto i nga iwi ka miharo ki a koe: ka ai koe hei whakawehi, kore tonu ake koe, ake ake.

All they that know thee among the peoples shall be amazed at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.

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

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

21 E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki Hairona, poropititia hoki te he mo reira,

Son of man, set thy face towards Zidon, and prophesy against it,

22 M ea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e Hairona; ka whai kororia ano hoki ahau i roto i a koe: a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina mahia e ahau he whakawa i roto i a ia, ina whakatapua ahau i roto i a ia.

and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Zidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be hallowed in her.

23 K a unga atu hoki e ahau te mate uruta ki a ia, me te toto ki ona ara; ka hinga hoki te hunga i werohia i waenga ona, mea rawa ki te hoari i runga i a ia a tawhio noa; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

And I will send into her the pestilence, and blood in her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, by the sword upon her on every side: and they shall know that I Jehovah.

24 K ahore hoki he tataramoa ngau a muri ake nei ki te whare o Iharaira, kahore he tumatakuru whakamamae a te hunga katoa i tetahi taha o ratou, i tetahi taha, a te hunga ra i whakahawea ki a ratou; a ka mohio ratou ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.

And there shall be no more a wounding sting for the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn, among all that were round about them, that despised them: and they shall know that I the Lord Jehovah.

25 K o te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka oti te whare o Iharaira te kohikohi e ahau i roto i nga iwi i whakamararatia atu ai ratou, a ka oti ahau te whakatapu i runga i a ratou i te tirohanga a nga iwi, ko reira ratou noho ai ki to ratou oneone i hoatu e ahau ki taku pononga, ki a Hakopa.

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be hallowed in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their land which I have given to my servant Jacob.

26 K a noho ano ratou ki reira, te ai he wehi; ae ra, ka hanga whare ano ratou, ka whakato mara waina, ka ata noho ano hoki, ina mahia e ahau he whakawa ki te hunga katoa i whakahawea ki a ratou i tetahi taha o ratou, i tetahi taha; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ko to ratou Atua.

They shall dwell in it in safety, and shall build houses and plant vineyards; and they shall dwell in safety, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despised them round about them: and they shall know that I Jehovah their God.
