1 T he Word of the Lord came to me saying,

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

2 “ Son of man, look toward the Ammonites and speak against them.

E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki nga tama a Amona, ka poropiti i te he mo ratou.

3 T ell them, ‘Hear the Word of the Lord God! The Lord God says, “Because you were happy when My holy place was made unclean, and when the land of Israel was made waste, and when the people of Judah were taken away,

Mea atu hoki ki nga tama a Amona, Whakarongo ki te kupu a te Ariki a Ihowa; Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua mea mai na koe, Ha! ki toku wahi tapu i te mea e whakapokea ana; ki te oneone ano o Iharaira i te mea ka ururuatia, ki te wh are ano o Hura i a ratou ka riro ki te whakarau:

4 I am going to give you to the people of the east. They will put up their tents among you and live among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.

Mo reira tenei ahau te hoatu nei i a koe hei kainga ki nga tamariki o te rawhiti, a ka whakaturia e ratou o ratou puni ki a koe, ka hanga ano o ratou kainga ki a koe: ka pau i a ratou au hua, ka inumia e ratou tau waiu.

5 I will turn the city of Rabbah into a field for camels, and Ammon into a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”

Ka meinga ano e ahau a Rapa hei kainga kamera, me nga tama ano a Amona hei tapapatanga hipi: a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.

6 F or the Lord God says, “Because you have clapped your hands and crushed under your feet and showed your joy because of your hate for Israel,

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Na, kua papaki na ou ringa, kua takahi ou waewae, pau katoa tou ngakau ki te koa, he kino nou ki te whenua o Iharaira;

7 I have put out My hand against you. I will give you away to the nations. And I will destroy you from the nations and from the lands. Then you will know that I am the Lord.” Word against Moab

Mo reira, na, kua totoro atu toku ringa ki a koe, a kua tukua koe e ahau hei pahuatanga ma nga iwi; ka hatepea atu koe e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ka huna ano koe e ahau i roto i nga whenua: ka whakangaromia koe e ahau; a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau.

8 ‘ The Lord God says, “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘See, Judah is like all the nations,’

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Kua mea nei a Moapa raua ko Heira, Nana, kua rite te whare o Hura ki nga iwi katoa;

9 I will lay waste the side of Moab, beginning with these cities there, Beth-jeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim, the best of the country.

Mo reira tenei ahau te mea nei kia takoto kau te taha o Moapa i nga pa, i ona pa i ona rohe, te kororia o te whenua, i Peteiehimoto, i Paarameono, i Kiriataima,

10 I will give it to the people of the east, as I did with Ammon, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations.

Tae noa ki nga tama o te rawhiti, kia haere ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Amona, a ka tukua ratou e ahau hei kainga tupu, e kore ai e maharatia nga tama a Amona i roto i nga iwi.

11 I will punish Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord.” Word against Edom

Ka mahia ano e ahau he whakawa ki a Moapa; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

12 ‘ The Lord God says, “Because Edom has fought against Judah in its anger, and has become very guilty by doing so,”

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua mahia na e Eroma he he mo te whare o Hura, kua rapu utu, kua nui to ratou kino, kua rapu utu i a ratou;

13 t he Lord God says, “I will put out My hand against Edom and kill its men and their animals. I will destroy it and they will fall by the sword from Teman to Dedan.

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Ka totoro ano toku ringa ki a Eroma, ka hatepea atu nga tangata me nga kararehe o reira; ka meinga ano e ahau te ritenga atu o Temana hei ururua, ka hinga ano nga tangata, a tae atu ana ki Rerana, i te hoari.

14 I will punish Edom by the hand of My people Israel. They will act in My anger against Edom, and Edom will know My anger,” says the Lord God. Word against Philistia

Ka tukua atu ano e ahau taku rapu utu ki a Eroma, ma taku iwi, ma Iharaira e mahi; ka meatia ano e ratou i roto i a Eroma nga mea e rite ana ki toku riri, ki toku weriweri; a ka mohio ratou ki taku rapu utu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

15 ‘ The Lord God says, “Because the Philistines have fought to destroy Judah with the lasting anger that is in their hearts,”

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: He rapu utu nei te mahi a nga Pirihitini, he kino nei te ngakau i rapu utu ai ratou, he mea kia ngaro, he mauahara tuturu;

16 t he Lord God says, “I will put out My hand against the Philistines. And I will destroy the Cherethites and those left beside the sea.

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana ka totoro toku ringa ki nga Pirihitini, a ka hatepea atu e ahau nga Keretimi, ka huna ano e ahau nga morehu o te tahatai.

17 I will punish them in My anger, and they will know that I am the Lord when I punish them.”’”

He nui hoki nga rapunga utu e mahia e ahau ki a ratou, weriweri rawa nga whakatupehupehunga; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina tukua e ahau taku rapu utu ki a ratou.
