21 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
2 E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki Hiruharama, kia maturuturu iho tau kupu ki nga wahi tapu, poropititia he he mo te whenua o Iharaira;
3 Mea atu hoki ki te whenua o Iharaira, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, ka maunu ano i ahau taku hoari i roto i tona takotoranga, ka hatepea atu e ahau te tangata tika raua ko te tangata he i roto i a koe.
4 Na, ka hatepea atu nei e ahau i roto i a koe te tangata tika raua ko te tangata he, ka maunu ano taku hoari i roto i tona takotoranga ki nga kikokiko katoa i te tonga tae noa ki te raki.
5 A ka mohio nga kikokiko katoa, naku, na Ihowa, i unu taku hoari i roto i tona takotoranga: e kore ano e hoki a muri iho.
6 Na reira, aue, e te tama a te tangata: aue ki to ratou aroaro, me te whati tou hope, me te tangi tiwerawera.
7 A ki te mea ratou ki a koe, He aha koe i aue ai? katahi koe ka mea, Mo te rongo; kei te haere mai hoki: a ngohe iho nga ngakau katoa, ngoikore katoa nga ringa, ka he ano nga wairua katoa, ko nga turi katoa kei te wai te rite: nana, te haere mai n ei, ka oti ano hoki, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
8 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
9 E te tama a te tangata, poropiti atu, ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ki atu, He hoari, he hoari, whakakoi rawa, oro rawa.
10 I whakakoia ai kia nui, ai te parekura: i orohia ai kia uira ai. Kia koa koia tatou? ko te tokotoko ia o taku tama e whakahawea ana ki nga rakau katoa.
11 I hoatu ano e ia kia orohia, hei mea e maua e te ringa: ko te hoari, ae, kua oti te whakakoi, kua oti te oro, kia hoatu ai ki te ringa o te kaipatu.
12 E tangi, aue, e te tama a te tangata: no te mea kei runga i taku iwi, kei runga i nga rangatira katoa o Iharaira: kua tukua atu ratou ki te hoari me taku iwi: mo reira papaki ki tou huha.
13 He whakamatautau hoki ia; a ka pehea ra mehemea ka kore te tokotoko whakahawea, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
14 Ko koe na, e te tama a te tangata, poropiti atu, pakipaki i ou ringa; tukua kia tuatoru whakakoromeketanga o te hoari, o te hoari nana nga tupapaku; ko te hoari ia nana te tangata rahi, tera e tupapaku nei i ona patunga, tae tonu atu ki o ratou ruma o roto rawa.
15 Kua oti te mata o te hoari te whakatika atu e ahau ki o ratou kuwaha katoa, kia ngohengohe ai o ratou ngakau, kia maha ai o ratou tutukitanga: anana! kua oti te whakakanapa, koi tonu, hei mea mo te patu.
16 Huihui i a koe, ka anga ki matau; tatai i a koe, ka anga ki maui; ki te wahi e u atu ai tou mata.
17 Ka papaki ano ahau i oku ringa, ka whakarite i toku weriweri: naku, na Ihowa, te kupu.
18 I puta mai ano hoki te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
19 Ko koe hoki, e te tama a te tangata, whakaritea etahi ara mou kia rua, hei haerenga mai mo te hoari a te kingi o Papurona: ka puta mai raua e rua i te whenua kotahi; waitohungia hoki tetahi wahi, waitohungai i te ahunga mai o te ara ki te pa.
20 Whakaritea he ara e haere mai ai te hoari ki Rapa o nga tama a Amona, ki a Hura, ki era i Hiruharama, i te pa taiepa.
21 I tu hoki te kingi o Papurona ki te pekanga o te ara, ki te ahunga mai o nga ara e rua, ki te ui ki nga tuaahu: i rurutia hoki e ia ana pere, i uia he tikanga ki nga whakapakoko, i titiro ki te ate.
22 I tona ringa matau ko te tuaahu mo Hiruharama, hei whakarite i nga mea wawahi, hei mea e hamama ai te mangai i te parekura, e ara ai te reo i te hamamatanga, hei whakarite i nga mea wawahi mo nga kuwaha, kia haupuria ake ano he pukepuke, kia han ga he taumaihi.
23 A ki ta ratou, hei tuaahu teka tena ki ta ratou titiro, ki ta te hunga ra i oati i nga oati: otiia ka maharatia e ia te kino, kia mau ai ratou.
24 Na reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Na, kua meinga na e koutou to koutou kino kia maharatia, i to koutou he ka hurahia, i o koutou hara ka kitea i roto i a koutou mahi katoa; na, ka maharatia na koutou, ka mau koutou i te ringa.
25 Na, ko koe, e te mea kino kua tupapaku na, e te rangatira o Iharaira, nou nei te ra kua tae mai, i te wa o te he i te mutunga;
26 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Whakarerea atu te potae, waiho atu te karauna: e kore tenei e penei tonu a muri ake: ko te iti whakanuia ake, ko te nui whakaititia iho.
27 Ka porohurihia e ahau, ka porohurihia, ka porohurihia; e kore noa iho ano tenei, kia tae mai ra ano te tangata mana; a maku e hoatu ki a ia.
28 Ko koe hoki, e te tama a te tangata, poropiti atu, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa mo nga tama a Amona, mo ta ratou tawai; mea atu ano, Ko te hoari, ko te hoari, kua oti te unu: oro rawa mo te patu, kia kai ai, koia i uira ai:
29 Me te teka mai a aua matakite ki a koe, me te homai teka a te tuaahu ki a koe, kia hoatu ai koe ki runga ki nga kaki o te hunga i patua, o te hunga kino kua tae mai nei to ratou ra, i te wa o te he i te mutunga.
30 Meinga kia hoki atu ia ki tona takotoranga. Hei te wahi i hanga ai koe, hei te whenua i whanau ai koe, hei reira ahau whakawa ai i a koe.
31 Ka ringihia ano e ahau toku riri ki runga ki a koe; ka pupuhi ano ahau ki runga ki a koe ki te ahi o toku riri; ka hoatu ano koe e ahau ki te ringa o nga tangata poauau, e mohio ana ki te whakangaro.
32 Ka waiho koe hei wahie mo te ahi; ka heke ou toto ki waenganui o te whenua; heoi ano maharatanga ki a koe; naku hoki, na Ihowa te kupu.

Babylon as God’s Sword of Judgment
21 [a]The word of the Lord came to me:(A) 2 “Son of man, set your face against(B) Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuary.(C) Prophesy against(D) the land of Israel 3 and say to her: ‘This is what the Lord says: I am against you.(E) I will draw my sword(F) from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.(G) 4 Because I am going to cut off the righteous and the wicked, my sword(H) will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north.(I) 5 Then all people will know that I the Lord have drawn my sword(J) from its sheath; it will not return(K) again.’(L)
6 “Therefore groan, son of man! Groan before them with broken heart and bitter grief.(M) 7 And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?(N)’ you shall say, ‘Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt with fear(O) and every hand go limp;(P) every spirit will become faint(Q) and every leg will be wet with urine.’(R) It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign Lord.”
8 The word of the Lord came to me: 9 “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord says:
“‘A sword, a sword,
sharpened and polished—
10 sharpened for the slaughter,(S)
polished to flash like lightning!
“‘Shall we rejoice in the scepter of my royal son? The sword despises every such stick.(T)
11 “‘The sword is appointed to be polished,(U)
to be grasped with the hand;
it is sharpened and polished,
made ready for the hand of the slayer.
12 Cry out and wail, son of man,
for it is against my people;
it is against all the princes of Israel.
They are thrown to the sword
along with my people.
Therefore beat your breast.(V)
13 “‘Testing will surely come. And what if even the scepter, which the sword despises, does not continue? declares the Sovereign Lord.’
14 “So then, son of man, prophesy
and strike your hands(W) together.
Let the sword strike twice,
even three times.
It is a sword for slaughter—
a sword for great slaughter,
closing in on them from every side.(X)
15 So that hearts may melt with fear(Y)
and the fallen be many,
I have stationed the sword for slaughter[b]
at all their gates.
Look! It is forged to strike like lightning,
it is grasped for slaughter.(Z)
16 Slash to the right, you sword,
then to the left,
wherever your blade is turned.
17 I too will strike my hands(AA) together,
and my wrath(AB) will subside.
I the Lord have spoken.(AC)”
18 The word of the Lord came to me: 19 “Son of man, mark out two roads for the sword(AD) of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same country. Make a signpost(AE) where the road branches off to the city. 20 Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites(AF) and another against Judah and fortified Jerusalem. 21 For the king of Babylon will stop at the fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an omen: He will cast lots(AG) with arrows, he will consult his idols,(AH) he will examine the liver.(AI) 22 Into his right hand will come the lot for Jerusalem, where he is to set up battering rams, to give the command to slaughter, to sound the battle cry,(AJ) to set battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp(AK) and to erect siege works.(AL) 23 It will seem like a false omen to those who have sworn allegiance to him, but he will remind(AM) them of their guilt(AN) and take them captive.
24 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because you people have brought to mind your guilt by your open rebellion, revealing your sins in all that you do—because you have done this, you will be taken captive.
25 “‘You profane and wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come,(AO) whose time of punishment has reached its climax,(AP) 26 this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Take off the turban, remove the crown.(AQ) It will not be as it was: The lowly will be exalted and the exalted will be brought low.(AR) 27 A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! The crown will not be restored until he to whom it rightfully belongs shall come;(AS) to him I will give it.’(AT)
28 “And you, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says about the Ammonites(AU) and their insults:
“‘A sword,(AV) a sword,
drawn for the slaughter,
polished to consume
and to flash like lightning!
29 Despite false visions concerning you
and lying divinations(AW) about you,
it will be laid on the necks
of the wicked who are to be slain,
whose day has come,
whose time of punishment has reached its climax.(AX)
30 “‘Let the sword return to its sheath.(AY)
In the place where you were created,
in the land of your ancestry,(AZ)
I will judge you.
31 I will pour out my wrath on you
and breathe(BA) out my fiery anger(BB) against you;
I will deliver you into the hands of brutal men,
men skilled in destruction.(BC)
32 You will be fuel for the fire,(BD)
your blood will be shed in your land,
you will be remembered(BE) no more;
for I the Lord have spoken.’”
