¹And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

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

²Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother.

²E te tama a te tangata, tokorua nga wahine i mua, he tamahine na te whaea kotahi.

³And they committed whoredom in Egypt; they committed whoredom in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there were handled the teats of their virginity.

³Heoi moepuku ana ki Ihipa; moepuku ana i to raua tamarikitanga: i romia o raua u ki reira, i mirimiria ki reira nga matamata o to raua wahinetanga.

⁴And their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister; and they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

⁴Na, ko o raua ingoa, ko Ohora to te tuakana, ko Ohoripa to te teina: a i riro raua i ahau, i whanau hoki he tama, he tamahine ma raua. Na, mo o raua ingoa, ko Hamaria a Ohora, ko Hiruharama a Ohoripa.

⁵And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians [her] neighbours,

⁵Na, kua kairau a Ohora i te mea i ahau ano ia, minamina atu ana ki ana i aroha ai, ki ona hoa tata, ki nga Ahiriana,

⁶clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them attractive young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

⁶He puru nei o ratou kakahu, he ariki, he kawana, he taitamariki, e minaminatia ratou katoa, he tangata hoiho, e eke ana ki te hoiho.

⁷And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, all of them the choice of the children of Asshur; and with all after whom she lusted, with all their idols she defiled herself.

⁷Heoi kei te mahi kairau ia ki a ratou, ki nga tangata papai rawa o nga tama o Ahiria, ki a ratou katoa; a ahakoa ko wai i minaminatia e ia, whakapoke ana ia i a ia ano ki a ratou whakapakoko katoa.

⁸Neither left she her whoredoms [brought] from Egypt; for in her youth they had lain with her, and had handled the breasts of her virginity, and poured their fornication upon her.

⁸Kihai ano i mahue i a ia ana moepuku mai o nga ra o Ihipa; i takoto hoki ratou ki a ia i tona tamarikitanga, a mirimiria ana e ratou nga matamata o tona wahinetanga, ringihia ana e ratou a ratou moepuku ki runga ki a ia.

⁹Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the children of Asshur, after whom she lusted.

⁹Na reira ia i tukua ai e ahau ki te ringa o te hunga i arohaina e ia, ki te ringa o nga tamariki o Ahiria, o ana i minamina ai.

¹⁰These discovered her nakedness, they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword; and she became a name among women; and they executed judgment upon her.

¹⁰A hurahia ana ia e ratou kia noho tahanga; tangohia ana e ratou ana tama, ana tamahine, patua iho ia e ratou ki te hoari; a whai ingoa ana ia i roto i nga wahine; i mahia hoki e ratou he whakawa ki a ia.

¹¹And her sister Oholibah saw [this], and was more corrupt in her passion than she, and in her fornications more than the whoredoms of her sister.

¹¹¶ A ka kite tona teina, a Ohoripa, i tenei, otiia i nui atu te kino o tona minamina i to tera, ona moepuku hoki i nui atu i o tona tuakana.

¹²She lusted after the children of Asshur [her] neighbours, governors and rulers, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them attractive young men.

¹²Minamina ana ia ki nga Ahiriana, ki ona hoa tata, ki nga ariki, ki nga kawana, he pai rawa nei nga kakahu, he tangata hoiho e eke ana ki te hoiho, ko ratou katoa he tamariki e minaminatia.

¹³And I saw that she was defiled: both took one way.

¹³Na ka kite ahau kua poke ia, kotahi tonu te ara o raua tokorua.

¹⁴And she increased her fornications; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,

¹⁴Kua neke ake ano ona moepuku: i kite hoki ia i nga tangata kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pakitara, i nga whakaahua o nga Karari, he mea tuhituhi ki te whero pai,

¹⁵girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them captains in appearance, [after] the likeness of the children of Babylon, of Chaldea, the land of their nativity.

¹⁵He mea whitiki o ratou hope ki te whitiki, o ratou mahunga mea rawa ki te kakahu kua oti te rongoa, he rangatira katoa ki te titiro; ko te ahua kei to nga tama o Papurona, o Karari, o te whenua i whanau ai ratou:

¹⁶And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she lusted after them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

¹⁶A, no te kitenga o ona kanohi i a ratou, minamina tonu ki a ratou, tukua ana e ia he karere ki a ratou, ki Karari.

¹⁷And the children of Babylon came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their fornication; she too defiled herself with them, and her soul was alienated from them.

¹⁷Na ka haere mai ki a ia o nga tamariki o Papurona ki te moenga aroha, whakapokea ana ia e ratou ki a ratou moepuku: heoi ka whakapokea nei e ratou, na ngakaukore noa iho ia ki a ratou.

¹⁸And she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness; and my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.

¹⁸Heoi ka whakakitea e ia ona moepuku, ka whakakitea ano ia e noho tahanga ana: na ngakaukore noa iho ahau ki a ia, pera tonu me ahau i ngakaukore ra ki tona tuakana.

¹⁹Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she played the harlot in the land of Egypt;

¹⁹Heoi whakanuia ana e ia ona moepuku, me te mahara ano ia ki nga ra o tona tamarikitanga i a ia i kairau ra ki te whenua o Ihipa.

²⁰and she lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is [as] the flesh of asses, and whose issue is [as] the issue of horses.

²⁰I minamina hoki ia ki o ratou hoa moepuku, he kikokiko kaihe nei o ratou kikokiko; a, ko te mea e tarere mai ana i roto i a ratou rite tonu ki te mea e tarere mai ana i roto i te hoiho.

²¹And thou didst look back to the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy teats by the Egyptians, for the breasts of thy youth.

²¹Na kua hokia nei e koe nga he o tou tamarikitanga i nga matamata o ou u i mirimiria ra e nga Ihipiana, he meatanga ki nga u o tou tamarikitanga.

²²Therefore, Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side.

²²¶ Mo reira, e Ohoripa, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana, ka ara i ahau ou hoa aroha hei hoariri mou, era kua ngakaukore na koe ki a ratou, ka kawea mai ano ratou e ahau ki a koe ki nga taha katoa;

²³The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all the children of Asshur with them; all of them attractive young men, governors and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.

²³Ko nga tangata o Papurona, ratou ko nga Karari katoa, a Pekoro, a Hoa, a Koa, ratou ko nga Ahiriana katoa: he taitamariki ratou katoa e minaminatia, he ariki, he kawana, he rangatira, he rongo nui, he eke hoiho katoa.

²⁴And they shall come against thee [with] armour, chariots and wheels, and with an assemblage of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee [with] target, and shield, and helmet round about; and I will put judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.

²⁴A ka haere mai ratou ki te whawhai ki a koe, me nga mea mo te whawhai, he hariata ano o ratou, he kata, he whakaminenga iwi; rite rawa i a ratou te puapua, te whakangungu rakau, te potae, hei whawhai ki a koe i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha: ka tuk ua ano e ahau te whakawa ki to ratou aroaro, a ka rite ki a ratou whakaritenga ta ratou whakarite mou.

²⁵And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall cut off thy nose and thine ears, and thy remnant shall fall by the sword; they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.

²⁵Ka whakataua ano e ahau toku hae ki a koe, a ka mahi weriweri ratou ki a koe: ka riro ano tou ihu i a ratou, me ou taringa; ka hinga ano hoki ou morehu i te hoari: ka tangohia atu e ratou au tama me au tamahine; ka pau ano ou morehu i te ahi.

²⁶They shall also strip the of thy garments, and take away thy fair jewels.

²⁶Ka huia atu ano e ratou ou kakahu, ka tangohia ano ou mea ataahua.

²⁷And I will make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

²⁷Heoi ka meinga e ahau tou he kia mutu, me tou moepuku i timata mai ra i te whenua o Ihipa; kia kore ai ou kanohi e ara ki aua mea, kia kore ai ano koe e mahara ki Ihipa a muri ake nei.

²⁸For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give thee over into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated.

²⁸No te mea ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tenei ahau ka hoatu nei i a koe ki te ringa o te hunga e kinongia na e koe, ki roto ki te ringa o te hunga kua ngakaukore na koe ki a ratou.

²⁹And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare; so that the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy fornications.

²⁹Ka mahi ano ratou i runga i te mauahara ki a koe, a ka riro ou mauiui katoa i a ratou, mahue iho koe i a ratou kahore he kakahu, noho tahanga ana: ka kitea hoki e takoto kau ana ou moepuku, tou he me ou moepuku.

³⁰These things shall be done unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the nations, because thou hast defiled thyself with their idols.

³⁰Ka meatia enei mea e ahau ki a koe mo tou whainga atu ki nga tauiwi moepuku ai, mou i poke i a ratou whakapakoko.

³¹Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; and I have given her cup into thy hand.

³¹I haere koe i te ara o tou tuakana; na, ka hoatu e ahau tana kapu ki tou ringa.

³²Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large; thou shalt be for a laughing-stock and a derision, [for] it containeth much.

³²Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka inumia e koe te kapu a tou tuakana, aua noa iho ki raro, nui noa atu: ka ai koe hei whakakatanga, hei taunutanga: ranea rawa taua kapu.

³³Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, the cup of thy sister Samaria;

³³Ka ki koe i te haurangi, i te pouri, i te kapu o te ketekete, o te whakangaromanga, i te kapu a tou tuakana, a Hamaria.

³⁴thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord Jehovah.

³⁴Ka inumia ano ra e koe, tatau rawa, wawahi rawa i nga maramara, ka hae ano e koe ou u: naku hoki te korero, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

³⁵Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy fornications.

³⁵Ina, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua wareware na koe ki ahau, kua maka ano ahau e koe ki muri i tou tuara, na pikaua ano e koe tou he me ou moepuku.

³⁶And Jehovah said unto me, Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations.

³⁶¶ I mea ano a Ihowa ki ahau; E te tama a te tangata, e whakawa ranei koe i a Ohora raua ko Ohoripa? whakakitea a raua mea whakarihariha ki a raua;

³⁷For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also passed over unto them their children, whom they bore unto me, to be devoured.

³⁷No te mea kua moepuku raua, he toto kei o raua ringa, kua moepuku ano raua ki a raua whakapakoko; kua meinga e raua a raua tamariki, aku i whanau nei i roto i a raua kia tika i roto i te ahi, ki aua whakapakoko, pau tonu atu.

³⁸Moreover this have they done unto me: in the same day have they defiled my sanctuary and profaned my sabbaths.

³⁸Ko tenei ano ta raua i mea ai ki ahau: i taua ra kotahi, whakapokea iho e raua toku wahi tapu, ko aku hapati kua noa i a raua.

³⁹For when they had slaughtered their children unto their idols, they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house.

³⁹I ta raua patunga hoki i a raua tamariki hei mea ki a raua whakapakoko, haere ana raua i taua ra ano ki toku wahi tapu whakanoa ai; na, ko ta raua tena i mea ai i roto i toku whare.

⁴⁰And furthermore, they sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and behold, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thine eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments;

⁴⁰I unga tangata ano koutou ki te hunga haere mai i tawhiti, he hunga i unga atu nei he karere ki a ratou; na, kua tae mai ratou; mo ratou tau horoi i a koe, mea rawa i ou kanohi ki te pukepoto, whakapaipai rawa i a koe ki nga whakapaipai;

⁴¹and satest upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hadst set mine incense and mine oil.

⁴¹Na noho ana koe, he mea kororia te moenga, i tona taha ko te tepu rite rawa; i runga ko taku whakakakara, ko taku hinu, he mea whakatakoto nau.

⁴²And the voice of a multitude living carelessly was with her; and with people of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, and they put bracelets upon their hands, and a beautiful crown upon their heads.

⁴²A i taua wahine te nge o te mano tini e noho nakohakoha ana: a i kawea mai i roto i te mano o te tangata nga haurangi o te koraha; a na ratou i whakanoho he poroporo ki o raua ringa, he karauna ataahua ki o raua mahunga.

⁴³And I said of her that was old in adulteries, Will she now commit her fornications, even she.

⁴³Katahi ahau ka mea mo taua wahine kua ruruhi nei e moepuku ana, E moepuku ano ranei ratou ki a ia, me ia ano ki a ratou?

⁴⁴And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a whorish woman: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah the lewd women.

⁴⁴Heoi haere ana ratou ki a ia, he pera i ta ratou haere ki te wahine moepuku: pera tonu ta ratou haere ki a Ohora, ki a Ohoripa, ki nga wahine he.

⁴⁵And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

⁴⁵Na, ko nga tangata tika, ma ratou raua e whakawa, he whakawa i nga wahine moepuku, he whakawa i nga wahine whakaheke toto; he wahine moepuku hoki raua, he toto kei o raua ringa.

⁴⁶For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring up an assemblage against them, and will give them to be driven hither and thither and spoiled.

⁴⁶Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka kawea mai e ahau he hui ki a raua, a ka meinga raua e ahau kia makamaka, kia pahuatia.

⁴⁷And the assemblage shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.

⁴⁷A ka akina raua e te hui ki te kohatu, ka tapahia ki a ratou hoari; ka whakamatea a raua tama, a raua tamahine, ka tahuna ano o raua whare ki te ahi.

⁴⁸And I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, and all women shall receive instruction and shall not do according to your lewdness.

⁴⁸Heoi ka meinga e ahau te puremu kia mutu i te whenua; kia ako ai nga wahine katoa kia kaua a ratou mahi e rite ki o korua he.

⁴⁹And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.

⁴⁹Ka hoatu ano e ratou nga utu o to korua he ki a korua, a ka pikaua e korua nga hara o a korua whakapakoko; ka mohio ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowa.
