Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant, I will uphold him, my elect, with him my soul is well-pleased. I have sent my Spirit upon him. He will offer judgment to the nations.
Nana, taku pononga e tautokona ake nei e ahau, taku i whiriwhiri ai, ahuareka tonu toku ngakau ki a ia: ka waiho e ahau toku wairua ki runga ki a ia; mana e whakapuaki te whakawa ki nga tauiwi.
2 He will not cry out, and he will not show favoritism to anyone; neither will his voice be heard abroad.
E kore ia e hamama, e kore ano tona reo e ara, e kore e rangona i te ara.
3 The bruised reed he will not break, and the smoldering wick he will not extinguish. He will lead forth judgment unto truth.
Ko te kakaho kope e kore e whatiia porokeretia e ia: e kore hoki te muka whakapaowa e tineia e ia: ka whakapuakina e ia te whakawa i runga i te pono.
4 He will not be saddened or troubled, until he establishes judgment on earth. And the islands will await his law.
E kore ia e ngoikore, e kore e ngakaukore, kia takoto ra ano i a ia te whakawa ki te whenua: ka tatari ano nga motu ki tana ture.
5 Thus says the Lord God, who created the heavens and expanded it, who formed the earth and all that springs from it, who gives breath to the people in it, and spirit to those walking on it.
Ko te kupu tenei a te Atua, a Ihowa, nana nei nga rangi i hanga, i hora; nana nei i takoto ai te whenua me nga mea ano e puta mai ana i reira; nana nei i homai he manawa ki o reira tangata, me te wairua ano ki te hunga e haereere ana i reira.
6 I, the Lord, have called you in justice, and I have taken your hand and preserved you. And I have presented you as a covenant of the people, as a light to the Gentiles,
He mea karanga koe naku, na Ihowa, i runga i te tika, maku ano tou ringa e pupuri, maku koe e tiaki, ka hoatu ano koe e ahau hei kawenata ki te iwi, hei marama mo nga tauiwi;
7 so that you may open the eyes of the blind, and lead out the prisoner from confinement and those sitting in darkness from the house of incarceration.
Hei whakatitiro i nga kanohi matapo, hei whakaputa mai i nga herehere i roto i te whare e tutaki tonu ana, i te hunga e noho ana i te pouri, i roto i te whare herehere.
8 I am the Lord; this is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
Ko Ihowa ahau: ko toku ingoa tena: e kore ano e tukua e ahau toku kororia ki tetahi atu, toku whakamoemiti ki te whakapakoko.
9 The things that were first, behold, they have arrived. And I also announce what is new. Before these things arise, I will cause you to hear about them.
Nana, kua puta mai nga mea o mua, he mea hou enei e whakaaturia nei e ahau: i te mea kahore ano kia pihi noa ka korerotia nei e ahau ki a koutou.
10 Sing to the Lord a new canticle, sing his praise from the ends of the earth, you who descend into the sea and all its fullness, the islands and their inhabitants.
Waiatatia ki a Ihowa he waiata hou, me te whakamoemiti ki a ia i te pito o te whenua, e te hunga e haere ana ki raro, ki te moana, e o reira tini mea, e nga motu, e nga tangata e noho ana i reira.
11 Let the desert and its cities be lifted up. Kedar will dwell in houses. O inhabitants of the rock, give praise! They will cry out from the top of the mountains.
No reira kia nui te reo o te koraha, o nga pa ano o reira, o nga kainga, e nohoia ana e Kerara; kia waiata nga tangata o Here, kia hamama ratou i runga i te tihi o nga maunga.
12 They will give glory to the Lord, and they will announce his praise to the islands.
Kia whakakororiatia a Ihowa e ratou, kia kauwhautia te whakamoemiti ki a ia i nga motu.
13 The Lord will go forth like a strong man; like a man of battle, he will stir up zeal. He will shout and cry out. He will prevail against his enemies.
Ka puta mai a Ihowa, ko te ahua kei to te tangata marohirohi; ka whakaoho i te hae ka pera i te tangata whawhai; ka karanga, ae ra, ka hamama; ka kaha noa atu i ona hoariri.
14 I have always been quiet; I have been silent; I have been patient. I will speak like a woman giving birth. I will destroy and consume, all at once.
Ka roa nei taku whakamorokitanga, i whakarongo puku ahau, whakakoromaki tonu; katahi nei ahau ka aue, ka pera me te wahine e whanau ana; ka whakahotu ahau, ka kahekahe ngatahi.
15 I will desolate the mountains and the hills, and I will wither all their grass. And I will turn rivers into islands, and I will dry up the pools of water.
Ka whakaururuatia e ahau nga maunga me nga pukepuke, ka maroke i ahau nga otaota katoa o reira; ka meinga nga awa hei motu, ka maroke ano i ahau nga harotoroto.
16 And I will lead the blind along a way which they do not know. And I will cause them to walk along paths with which they were unfamiliar. I will turn darkness into light before them, and crooked into straight. These things I have done for them. For I have not abandoned them.
Ka kawea ano e ahau nga matapo ma te ara kihai nei ratou i mohio: ka meinga te pouri hei marama ki to ratou aroaro, me nga wahi kopikopiko kia tika. Ka meatia enei mea e ahau ki a ratou, e kore ano ahau e whakarere i a ratou.
17 They have been converted again. Let those who trust in graven idols be greatly confounded, for they say to a molten thing, “You are our god.”
Ka hoki ratou ki muri, nui atu to ratou whakama, to te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki nga whakapakoko, e mea ana ki te mea whakarewa, Ko koutou o matou atua.
18 You who are deaf, hear! You who are blind, turn your gaze and see!
Whakarongo, e nga turi; titiro, e nga matapo, kia kite ai koutou.
19 Who is blind, except my servant? Who is deaf, except the one to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, except the one who has been sold? And who is blind, except the servant of the Lord?
Ko wai atu te matapo? ko taku pononga nei anake; ko wai te turi hei rite mo taku pononga i unga nei e ahau? ko wai te matapo hei rite mo te tangata e mau nei tana rongo ki ahau? ko wai te matapo hei rite mo ta Ihowa pononga?
20 You who see many things, will you not keep them? You who have open ears, will you not listen?
He maha nga mea e kitea ana e koe, heoi kahore e mahara: e puare ana ona taringa, heoi kahore e rongo.
21 And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and to exalt him.
Pai tonu mai a Ihowa, he whakaaro ki tona tika; ka whakanuia e ia te ture, ka whakahonoretia.
22 But this same people has robbed and laid waste. All their youth are a snare, and they have been hidden in houses of confinement. They have become victims; there is no one who may rescue them. They have been plundered; there is no one who may say, “Restore.”
Ko tenei iwi ia he pahuatanga, he taonga parau; he mea mahanga ratou katoa i roto i nga rua, ngaro tonu i roto i te whare herehere, hei pahuatanga ratou, kahore hoki he kaiwhakaora; hei taonga parau; kahore hoki he tangata e ki ana, Whakahokia.
23 Who is there among you who will hear this, who will listen closely and heed this in the future?
Ko wai i roto i a koutou e whai taringa ki tenei? ko wai e mahara mai, e whakarongo mai, mo nga wa hoki o muri?
24 Who has handed over Jacob into plunder, and Israel into devastation? Is it not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they were not willing to walk in his ways, and they have not listened to his law.
Na wai a Hakopa i tuku hei taonga parau? a Iharaira hoki hei meatanga ma nga kaipahua? he teka ianei na Ihowa? kua hara nei hoki tatou ki a ia, kinai hoki ratou i pai kia haere i ana ara, kihai i whakarongo ki tana ture.
25 And so, he poured out over him the indignation of his fury and a strong battle. And he burned him all around, and he did not realize it. And he set him on fire, and he did not understand it.
Na reira ringihia ana e ia te aritarita o tona riri ki a ia, me te pakanga kaha; wera ana ia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, te mohio ia; tahuna ana ia, heoi kihai tona ngakau i mahara.
