Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
Aue te mate mo Ariere, mo Ariere, mo te pa i noho ai a Rawiri! tapiritia iho tetahi tau ki tetahi tau; mahia nga hakari i nga wa e rite ai:
2 then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
Hei reira raru ai i ahau a Ariere, a ka pouri; ka tangi: a ka rite ia ki ahau ano ko Ariere.
3 I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
Ka nohoia atu ano koe e ahau, a karapoi noa; ka whakapaea koe ki te parepare, ka ara ano i ahau he taiepa hei tatau ki a koe.
4 You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
A ka whakahokia iho koe, ka korero ake i te whenua; ka iti ano tau kupu i roto i te puehu; ka rite tou reo ki to te tangata i te atua maori, he mea puta ake i te whenua, ka kohimu ake tau kupu i roto i te puehu.
5 But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
Ko te huihuinga ia o ou hoariri ka rite ki te puehu ririki, a koe te huihuinga o te hunga nanakia ki te papapa e rere atu ana: ae ra, ka hemorere tonu.
6 She will be visited by the LORD of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
Ka pa ta Ihowa o nga mano ki a ia, he whatitiri, he ru, he reo nui, he tukauati, he tupuhi, he mura ahi e ka ana.
7 The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
A ka rite ki te moe, ki te rekanga kanohi o te po nga iwi maha katoa e whawhai ana ki Ariere, ara te hunga katoa e ngangare ana ki a ia, ki tona pa kaha, e whakatupu kino ana hoki i a ia.
8 It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger is not satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
Ka rite ano ki te tangata matekai e moe ana, na kei te kai ia; heoi, kei te ohonga ake, e takoto kau ana tona wairua: ka rite hoki ki te tangata matewai e moe ana, na kei te inu ia; te ohonga ake, kahore he kaha, kei te hiahia ano tona wairua: ko te rite tera o te hui o nga iwi katoa e whawhai ana ki Maunga Hiona.
9 Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
E tu koutou, e miharo; e hari, a ka matapo: e haurangi ana ratou, ehara ia i te waina; e hurori ana, engari ehara i te wai kaha.
10 For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.
No te mea kua ringihia e Ihowa te wairua o te moe au tonu ki runga ki a koutou, kua oti ano i a ia te whakamoe o koutou kanohi, nga poropiti; ko o koutou rangatira, ko nga matakite, kua taupokina e ia.
11 All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed;”
A ka rite ki a koutou te kitenga katoa ki nga kupu o tetahi pukapuka i hiritia, e hoatu ana e nga tangata ki tetahi tangata matua ki te korero pukapuka, ka mea atu, Tena, korerotia tenei: a ka mea mai ia, E kore e taea e ahau, e hiri na hoki.
12 and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I cannot read.”
Na ka hoatu taua pukapuka ki te mea kahore nei e matau ki te korero pukapuka; na ko te kianga atu, Tena, korerotia tenei: ano ra ko ia, Kahore ahau e matau ki te korero.
13 The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;
Na ka mea te Ariki, I te mea e whakatata ana mai te iwi nei ki ahau, a e whakahonore ana i ahau ki to ratou mangai, ki o ratou ngutu, otiia e matara noa atu ana i ahau o ratou ngakau, a ko to ratou wehi ki ahau he mea whakaako e ta te tangata to hutohu:
14 therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”
Na, ka tahuri ahau ki te mahi i tetahi mahi whakamiharo ki waenganui i tenei iwi, he mahi whakamiharo rawa, he miharo whakaharahara: ka whakamotitia hoki nga whakaaro o o ratou mea whakaaro nui, ka ngaro te matauranga o o ratou mea mohio.
15 Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from the LORD, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
Aue te mate mo te hunga e whai ana i te wahi hohonu, kia ngaro ai to ratou whakaaro i a Ihowa; a kei te pouri a ratou mahi, e mea ana hoki, Ko wai e kite ana i a tatou? ko wai e matau ana ki a tatou?
16 You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay, that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He did not make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
Ta koutou whakaputa ke! E kiia ranei te kaihanga rihi he rite ki te paru? e ki ake ranei te mea i hanga ki tona kaihanga, Kihai ahau i hanga e ia? e mea ake ranei te mea i mahia ki tona kaimahi, Kahore ona matauranga?
17 Is not it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
He teka ranei he iti rawa nei te takiwa, a ka puta ke a Repanona hei mara whai hua, a ka kiia te mara whai hua hei ngahere?
18 In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
I taua ra ka rongo nga turi i nga kupu o te pukapuka, ka kite ano nga kanohi o nga matapo i roto i te kakarauri, i te pouri.
19 The humble also will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Ka neke ake ano te hari o te hunga mahaki ki a Ihowa, ka koa ano nga tangata rawakore ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
20 For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—
Kua moti hoki te tangata nanakia; a ko te tangata whakahi, kua poto; kua hatepea atu ano te hunga katoa i whanga ki te kino:
21 who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for one who reproves in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
E whakatau he nei ki te tangata e korero ana, e whakatakoto rore nei mo te kairiri o te he i te kuwaha; a kahore he rawa i whakapeaua ketia ai e ratou te tangata tika.
22 Therefore the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.
Na ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, nana nei a Aperahama i hoko, mo te whare o Hakopa, E kore a Hakopa e whakama aianei, e kore ano e koma tona mata aianei.
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
Engari kia kite ia i ana tamariki, i te mahi a oku ringa, i roto i a ia, ka whakatapua e ratou toku ingoa; ae ra, ka whakatapua ano e ratou te Mea Tapu o Hakopa, a ka wehi ki te Atua o Iharaira.
24 They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”
Ka mohiotia ano te matauranga e nga wairua kotiti ke, a ka ako te hunga amuamu ki te kupu mohio.
