¹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, saying,

¹¶ I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i te iwa o nga tau, i te tekau o nga marama, i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, i mea,

²`Son of man, write for thee the name of the day — this self-same day leaned hath the king of Babylon toward Jerusalem in this self-same day —

²E te tama a te tangata, tuhituhia te ingoa o tenei ra, o tenei ra kotahi rawa nei: ko te tino ra tenei i anga nui ai te kingi o Papurona ki Hiruharama.

³and use unto the rebellious house a simile, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour into it water,

³Korerotia hoki tetahi kupu whakarite ki te whare whakakeke, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Whakaekea te kohua, whakaekea, ringihia ano he wai ki roto.

⁴To gather its pieces unto it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, the choice of the bones to fill in.

⁴Kohikohia ano ona wahi ki roto, nga wahi pai katoa, te huha, te peke; whakakiia ki nga wheua pai rawa.

⁵The choice of the flock to take, And also to pile of the bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, yea, cook its bones in its midst.

⁵Tikina te hipi pai rawa, me haupu nga wheua ki raro i a ia; kia nui te koropuputanga; ae ra, kohuatia ona wheua ki roto.

⁶Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo [to] the city of blood, A pot whose scum [is] in it, And its scum hath not come out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, Not fallen on it hath a lot.

⁶Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Aue, te mate mo te pa toto, me te kohua he waikura nei tona, kihai nei tona waikura i tahia! whakaputaina ki waho tenei wahi ona, tenei wahi ona; kahore tetahi rota i tau ki runga i a ia.

⁷For her blood in her midst hath been, On a clear place of a rock she hath set it, She hath not poured it on the earth, To cover it over with dust.

⁷No te mea kei roto i a ia ona toto, kua waiho e ia ki runga ki te kamaka; kihai i ringihia e ia ki te whenua, kia hipokina ai ki te puehu;

⁸To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock — not to be covered.

⁸He mea kia puta ake ai te weriweri ki te rapu utu, kua waiho e ahau ona toto ki runga ki te kamaka, kei hipokina.

⁹Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo [to] the city of blood, yea, I — I make great the pile.

⁹Na reira tenei kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Aue, te mate mo te pa toto! maku ano e whakanui tona puranga wahie.

¹⁰Make abundant the wood, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burnt.

¹⁰Purangatia te wahie, whakaungia te ahi, kia pai rawa te kohua i nga kiko; meatia marietia kia pupuru nga kai, kia wera hoki nga wheua.

¹¹And cause it to stand on its coals empty, So that its brass is hot and burning, Melted hath been in its midst its uncleanness, Consumed is its scum.

¹¹Ka tu kau, whakaturia ki runga ki ona ngarahu, kia mahana ai, kia wera ai tona parahi, kia rewa ai tona poke i roto, kia poto ai te waikura.

¹²[With] sorrows she hath wearied herself, And the abundance of her scum goeth not out of her, In the fire [is] her scum.

¹²Kua hoha ia i te mahi; otiia kihai tona waikura nui i puta atu i roto i a ia; kahore tona waikura i kore i te ahi.

¹³In thine uncleanness [is] wickedness, Because I have cleansed thee, And thou hast not been cleansed, From thine uncleanness thou art not cleansed again, Till I have caused My fury to rest on thee.

¹³He he kei roto i tou poke: na, mea noa ahau i a koe kia ma, a kihai koe i ma; mo reira e kore tou poke e whakamakia a muri ake nei, kia makona ra ano toku riri ki a koe.

¹⁴I, Jehovah, hath spoken, It hath come, and I have done [it], I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I repent, According to thy ways, and according to thine acts, they have judged thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.`

¹⁴Naku, na Ihowa te kupu: ka rite, ka mahia ano e ahau, e kore taku e taka, e kore ano ahau, e manawapa, e kore e ripeneta; ka rite ki ou ara, ka rite ki au mahi ta ratou whakawa mou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

¹⁵And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

¹⁵¶ I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,

¹⁶`Son of man, lo, I am taking from thee the desire of thine eyes by a stroke, and thou dost not mourn, nor weep, nor let thy tear come.

¹⁶E te tama a te tangata, ka tangohia mai e ahau i tou taha ta ou kanohi i hiahia ai, ka whakapangia ki te mate: kaua ano ia e uhungatia, kaua e tangihia, kaua ou roimata e puta.

¹⁷Cease to groan, [for] the dead thou dost make no mourning, thy bonnet bind on thee, and thy shoes thou dost put on thy feet, and thou dost not cover over the upper lip, and bread of men thou dost not eat.`

¹⁷E tangi, engari kia ngawari; kauaka he uhunga tupapaku, herea tou tupare ki runga ki a koe, kuhua ano ou hu ki ou waewae, kaua ano ou ngutu e araia, kaua ano e kainga te taro tangata.

¹⁸And I speak unto the people in the morning, and my wife dieth in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been commanded.

¹⁸Heoi i korero ahau ki te iwi i te ata; a i te ahiahi ka mate toku hoa wahine: na i te ata ka meatia e ahau te mea i whakahaua ki ahau.

¹⁹And the people say unto me, `Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to us, that thou art doing?`

¹⁹Na ka mea te iwi ki ahau, E kore ianei e korerotia e koe ki a matou, he aha mo matou ena mea e meatia na e koe?

²⁰And I say unto them, `A word of Jehovah hath been unto me, saying:

²⁰Ano ra ko ahau ki a ratou, I puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

²¹Say to the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am polluting My sanctuary, The excellency of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left, by sword they do fall.

²¹Mea atu ki te whare o Iharaira, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Tenei ahau te whakapoke nei i toku wahi tapu, i ta koutou i whakaii ai, i ta koutou kanohi e hiahia nei, i te mea e manawapatia ana e to koutou wairua: na, ko a koutou tama, k o a koutou tamahine, i mahue nei ki a koutou, ka hinga i te hoari.

²²And ye have done as I have done, On the upper lip ye are not covered, And bread of men ye do not eat.

²²A ko ta koutou e mea ai ka rite ki taku i mea nei: e kore o koutou ngutu e araia, e kore ano koutou e kai i te taro tangata.

²³And your bonnets [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are] on your feet, Ye do not mourn nor do ye weep, And ye have wasted away for your iniquities, And ye have howled one unto another.

²³E mau ano o koutou tupare ki o koutou mahunga, o koutou hu ki o koutou waewae; e kore koutou e uhunga, e kore e tangi; engari ka memehia atu i runga i o koutou he, ka koingo ki tetahi, ki tetahi.

²⁴And Ezekiel hath been to you for a type, According to all that he hath done ye do; In its coming in — ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.

²⁴A hei tohu a Ehekiera ki a koutou: ka rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ta koutou e mea ai: ka pa mai tenei, ka mohio koutou ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.

²⁵And thou, son of man, Is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, The joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, And the song of their soul, Their sons and their daughters?

²⁵Na, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, he teka ianei i te ra e tangohia atu ai e ahau to ratou kaha, to ratou koa whakakororia, ta o ratou kanohi e hiahia ai, ta o ratou ngakau e okaka tonu ai, a ratou tama, a ratou tamahine,

²⁶In that day come doth the escaped one to thee. To cause the ears to hear.

²⁶I taua ra ka haere mai te mea i mawhiti ki a koe kia rongo ai ou taringa?

²⁷In that day opened is thy mouth with the escaped, And thou speakest, and art not silent any more, And thou hast been to them for a type. And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.`

²⁷I taua ra ka puaki tou mangai ki te tangata i mawhiti, a ka korero, kore ake ou wahangu; hei tohu hoki koe ki a ratou; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau
