Isaiah 8
1 And Jehovah said unto me, Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it with the pen of a man, For Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
I ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Tikina atu tetahi papa nui mau, ka tuhituhi ki runga, ki te pene a te tangata, Mo Mahereharara Hapaha;
2 and I will take unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
Na maku e mea etahi kaiwhakaatu pono hei whakaatu mo taku, ara a Uria tohunga raua ko Tekaria tama a Teperekia.
3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said Jehovah unto me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Na ko taku haerenga atu ki te poropiti wahine, kua hapu, whanau ake he tama. Katahi a Ihowa ka ki mai ki ahau, Huaina tona ingoa ko Mahereharara Hapaha.
4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and, My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.
No te mea mohio rawa ake te tamaiti ki te karanga, E toku papa, e toku whaea, ka riro nga taonga o Ramahiku, me nga mea parakete o Hamaria i te aroaro o te kingi o Ahiria.
5 And Jehovah spake unto me yet again, saying,
I korero mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea.
6 Forasmuch as this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
Na kua paopao nei tenei iwi ki nga wai ata rere o Hiroa, a e koa ana ki a Retini raua ko te tama a Remaria;
7 now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the River, strong and many, [even] the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks;
Na, tenei te takina mai nei e te Ariki nga wai o te awa ki runga ki a ratou, he kaha, he nui, ara te kingi o Ahiria, me tona kororia katoa: ka ngawha ano ia ki runga i ona pareparenga katoa, ka pari ano hoki ki runga i ona tahatika katoa:
8 and it shall sweep onward into Judah; it shall overflow and pass through; it shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
Ka rere tonu atu ia ki a Hura; ka puhake atu, a ka puta; ka pa ki te kaki rawa; a ka kapi i te rohanga o ona parirau te whanuitanga o tou whenua, e Emanuera.
9 Make an uproar, O ye peoples, and be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces.
E anga, ka whakatupu raruraru, e nga iwi, a ka pakaru rikiriki koutou; kia whai taringa hoki, e te hunga katoa o nga whenua i tawhiti; whitiki, a ka pakaru rikiriki koutou; whitiki, a ka mongamonga noa koutou.
10 Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
Whakatakotoria he whakaaro, a ka taka noa iho; korerotia te kupu, e kore ano e tu; kei a matou nei hoki te Atua.
11 For Jehovah spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
Ko ta Ihowa korero hoki tenei ki ahau i runga i te ringa kaha, me tana whakaako ano i ahau kia kaua e haere i te ara o tenei iwi; ka ki mai,
12 Say ye not, A conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be in dread [thereof].
Kaua e ki, He he te whakatakotoria nei i nga mea katoa e ki atu ai tenei iwi, He he te whakatakotoria nei; kaua hoki e wehi i ta ratou e wehi ai, kaua ano e pawera ki reira.
13 Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
Ko Ihowa o nga mano, ko ia ta koutou e whakatapu ai; ko ia hei wehi ma koutou, ko ia hei pawera ma koutou.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
A ka ai ia hei wahi tapu; hei kohatu tutukitanga waewae ia, hei kamaka e hinga ai nga whare e rua o Iharaira, hei rore ano hoki, hei mahanga ki nga tangata o Hiruharama.
15 And many shall stumble thereon, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
He tokomaha ano hoki o ratou e tutuki te waewae ki reira, e hinga, pakaru iho, e mahangatia, mau tonu iho.
16 Bind thou up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
Takaia te whakaaturanga, hiritia te ture i roto i aku akonga.
17 And I will wait for Jehovah, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
A ka tatari ahau ki a Ihowa e hunga nei i tona mata ki te whare o Hakopa, ka tumanako atu ki a ia.
18 Behold, I and the children whom Jehovah hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.
Nana, ko matou ko nga tamariki i homai nei e Ihowa ki ahau hei tohu, hei mea whakamiharo i roto i a Iharaira, he mea na Ihowa o nga mano e noho nei i Maunga Hiona.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto the wizards, that chirp and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living [should they seek] unto the dead?
Na, ki te mea mai ratou ki a koutou, Me rapu tikanga koutou i te hunga he atua maori nei o ratou, i nga matakite, i te hunga e kowhetewhete ana, e ngunguru ana: kaua ianei tetahi iwi e rapu tikanga ki to ratou Atua? me rapu atu ranei ratou ki ng a mea mate mo nga mea ora?
20 To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
Ki te ture, ki te whakaaturanga! ki te kore e rite ta ratou korero ki tenei kupu, ina, kahore he ata mo ratou.
21 And they shall pass through it, sore distressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and turn their faces upward:
A ka tika ano ratou na reira, ruha noa iho, e mate ana i te kai: i a ratou ka mate nei i te kai, ka tupu te riri, a ka kanga e ratou to ratou kingi, me to ratou Atua, a ka tahuri o ratou kanohi whakarunga:
22 and they shall look unto the earth, and, behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and into thick darkness [they shall be] driven away.
A ka titiro ratou ki te whenua, na, he whakapawera, he pouri, ko te poruru o te mamae; a ka aia atu ratou ki roto ki te pouri kerekere.
