Ezekiel 26

Na i te tekau ma tahi o nga tau, i te tahi o nga ra o te marama, i puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

E te tama a te tangata, kua mea na a Taira ki Hiruharama, Ha, kua pakaru ia, te kuwaha o nga iwi; kua anga mai ia ki ahau; ka whakakiia ahau, i a ia ka ururua nei:

Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, hei hoariri tenei ahau mou, e Taira, a ka meinga e ahau nga iwi maha kia eke ake ki a koe, kia pera ano me te moana e mea nei i ona ngaru kia eke ake.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.

A ka kore i a ratou nga taiepa o Taira, ka pakaru ano ona pourewa i a ratou; ka tahia atu ano e ahau tona puehu i runga i a ia, ka meinga ia kia rite ki te kamaka moremore.

And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.

Ka waiho ia hei horahanga kupenga i waenga moana: naku hoki te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa: ka waiho hoki ia hei pahuatanga ma nga iwi.

It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.

Na, ko ana tamahine i te mara, ka tukitukia e te hoari; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

No te mea ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tenei te kawea atu nei e ahau i te raki ki Taira a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, kingi o nga kingi, me nga hoiho, me nga hariata, me nga kaieke hoiho, me te huihui, me te iwi nui.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.

Ka patua e ia ki te hoari au tamahine i te mara: ka hanga ano e ia he taumaihi hei tatau ki a koe, ka haupuria ake ano he pukepuke hei tatau ki a koe, ka ara ano i a ia te puapua ki a koe.

He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.

Ka whakaturia ano e ia nga mea whawhai ki ou taiepa, ka wahia ano e ia ou pourewa ki ana titaha.

And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.

I te tini o ana hoiho, ka taupokina koe e to ratou puehu; ka ngarue ou taiepa i te haruru o nga kaieke hoiho, o nga kata, o nga hariata, ina tomokia e ia ou kuwaha, ina pera ia me te hunga e tomo ana ki roto ki te pa kua pakaru.

By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.

Ka takatakahia ou ara katoa e nga paua o ana hoiho; ka tukitukia e ia tou iwi ki te hoari, ka riro iho ano nga pou o tou kaha ki te whenua.

With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.

Ka pahuatia e ratou ou taonga, a hei taonga parakete au mea hokohoko: ka wahia iho ou taiepa, ka pakaru ou whare e matenuitia ana e koe: ka maka ano e ratou ou kohatu, ou rakau, me tou puehu, ki te wai.

And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.

Ka mutu ano i ahau te ngahau o au waiata, e kore ano te tangi o au hapa e rangona a muri ake nei.

And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.

A ka meinga koe e ahau kia rite ki te kamaka moremore: ka waiho koe hei horahanga kupenga; e kore koe e hanga a muri ake nei: naku hoki, na Ihowa te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa ki a Taira, E kore ianei nga motu e wiri i te haruru o tou hinganga, ina aue te tangata i werohia, ina hinga te parekura i roto i a koe?

Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?

Ko reira hoki nga rangatira katoa o te moana heke iho ai i runga i o ratou torona; ko o ratou koroka whakarere rawa, ko o ratou kakahu whakairo unu rawa: ko te kakahu mo ratou ko te wiri; ka noho ki te whenua, hono tonu te wiri, ketekete tonu ki a koe.

Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.

A ka maranga ta ratou tangi mou, ka mea ratou ki a koe, Taukiri e, kua ngaro koe, e te pa o te hunga rere moana: e te pa ingoa nui i kaha nei i runga i te moana, a ia me ona tangata ano, e mea nei i to ratou wehi kia pa ki nga tangata katoa e ta kataka ana i reira!

And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!

Akuanei nga motu wiri ai i te ra e hinga ai koe; ina, ka ohorere nga motu o te moana i a koe ka riro.

Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.

No te mea ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; I te wa e meinga ai koe e ahau hei pa kua ururuatia, kia rite ki nga pa kahore e nohoia; i te wa e kawea atu ai e ahau te rire ki runga ki a koe, a ka taupokina koe e nga wai nunui;

For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;

Ko reira whakahokia iho ai koe e ahau ki raro, koutou ko te hunga e heke ana ki te rua, ki nga tangata onamata, a ka meinga koe kia noho ki nga wahi o raro o te whenua, ki nga wahi mokemoke onamata, i roto i te hunga e heke ana ki te poka, kore iho koe e nohoia; a ka hoatu e ahau he kororia ki te whenua o te hunga ora;

When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;

Ka meinga koe e ahau hei wehi, a moti iho koe: ka rapua ano koe, a kore noa iho e kitea a ake ake, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.
