Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make leagues, but not by my Spirit, that they may heap sin upon sin;
Aue te mate mo nga tamariki whakakeke, e ai ta Ihowa, e hanga whakaaro nei, otiia ehara i te mea naku; e hipoki nei i te hipoki, ehara ia i te mea na toku wairua, he mea kia taparua iho ai e ratou he hara ki runga ki te hara:
2 who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked of my mouth, — to take refuge under the protection of Pharaoh, and trust in the shadow of Egypt!
E haere nei ki raro ki Ihipa, kahore hoki e ui tikanga ki toku mangai; hei kaha hoki mo ratou te kaha o Parao, a e mea ana kia whakawhirinaki ki te taumarumarunga iho o Ihipa!
3 For to you the protection of Pharaoh shall be a shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt a confusion.
Mo reira hei mea whakama ki a koutou te kaha o Parao, hei mea ano e numinumi ai koutou te whakawhirinaki ki te taumarumarunga iho o Ihipa.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
I Toana hoki ana rangatira, i tae ano ana karere ki Hanehe.
5 They were all ashamed of a people [that] did not profit them, nor were a help or profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
Whakama katoa ratou ki te iwi kahore nei a ratou pai mo ratou, kahore he awhina, kahore he pai; engari he whakama, he ingoa kino.
6 — The burden of the beasts of the south: Through a land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to the people that shall not profit [them].
Ko te poropititanga mo nga kararehe o te tonga. I te whenua o te raruraru, o te ngakau mamae, no reira nei te raiona uha me te raiona toa, te waipera me te nakahi e rere nei me he ahi, ka kawea atu e ratou o ratou rawa i runga i nga pokohiwi o ng a kuao kaihe, o ratou taonga i runga i nga koropuku o nga kamera ki te iwi kahore nei a ratou pai mo ratou.
7 For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I named her, Arrogance, that doeth nothing.
Ko ta Ihipa awhina hoki he horihori, he kore noa iho: koia i huaina ai e ahau, ko Rahapa noho tonu.
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and record it in a book, that it may be for the time to come, as a witness for ever,
Na haere, tuhituhia ki te papa ki to ratou aroaro, taia iho hoki ki te pukapuka; me waiho ano tena i nga ra i muri hei kaiwhakaatu a ake ake.
9 that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;
He tutu hoki tenei iwi, he tamariki korero teka, he tamariki kahore e pai ki te whakarongo ki te ture a Ihowa:
10 who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits;
Ko ta ratou nei kupu ki nga matakite, Kaua e kite; ki nga poropiti, Kaua e poropititia ki a matou nga mea tika; korero ki a matou i nga mea ngawari; hei nga mea tinihanga he poropititanga ma koutou:
11 get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us!
Peka atu i te ara, whakarerea te huarahi, kati ta te Mea Tapu o Iharaira te mea mai ki to matou aroaro.
12 Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because ye reject this word, and confide in oppression and wilfulness, and depend thereon,
Na ko te kupu tenei a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, Kua paopao na koutou ki tenei kupu, kua okioki ano ki te tukino, ki te whanoke, u tonu atu ki reira:
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a towering wall, whose breaking shall come suddenly in an instant.
Na, ko te tukunga iho o tenei he ki a koutou, ka rite ki te pakaru o te taiepa, meake nei hinga, kua ngawha haere i te wahi tiketike, kitea rawatia ake kua puta whakarere tona pakaru.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of a potter's vessel, that is broken in pieces unsparingly; and in the pieces of it there shall not be found a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to scoop water out of the cistern.
Ka wahia hoki e ia, pera i te oko a te kaihanga rihi e wahia ana, mongamonga noa, e kore e tohungia; na e kore e kitea i roto i ona kongakonga he maramara hei tango ahi mai i te kanga ahi, hei utu wai ake ranei i te poka.
15 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, Ma te tahuri mai, ma te humarie ka ora ai koutou; kei te ata noho, kei te whakawhirinaki he kaha mo koutou; heoi kihai koutou i pai.
16 And ye said, No, but we will flee upon horses, — therefore shall ye flee; and, We will ride upon the swift, — therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
Na i ki na koutou, Kahore, engari me rere matou i runga i te hoiho; mo reira ka rere koutou: a, Ka eke matou ki runga ki te mea tere; mo reira ka tere ano te hunga e whai ana i a koutou.
17 One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as a banner on a hill.
Ko te mano kotahi, ka rere i te riri a te tangata kotahi; ka rere koutou i te riri a te tokorima; a ka mahue koutou ano he pou kara i te tihi o te maunga, ano he kara i runga i te pukepuke.
18 And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he lift himself up, that he may have mercy upon you; for Jehovah is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
Na konei ano a Ihowa ka tatari, he mea kia atawhaitia ai koutou e ia, na konei ano ia ka whakanekehia ake, kia tohungia ai koutou e ia: he Atua whakawa hoki a Ihowa, ka hari te hunga katoa e tatari ana ki a ia.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion, at Jerusalem. Thou shalt weep no more; he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; as he heareth it, he will answer thee.
Tera hoki te iwi e noho ki Hiona, ki Hiruharama; mutu ake tou tangi: he pono ka aroha ia ki a koe, ki tou reo e tangi ana; ka rongo ia ki a koe, ka whakahoki kupu ia ki a koe.
20 And the Lord will give you the bread of adversity, and the water of oppression; yet thy teachers shall not be hidden any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
Ahakoa homai e te Ariki hei taro ma koutou ko te ngakau mamae, hei wai ano ko te tukino, e kore ou kaiwhakaako e huna a muri; engari ka kite ou kanohi i ou kaiwhakaako:
21 And when ye turn to the right hand or when ye turn to the left, thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it.
A ka rongo ou taringa i te kupu i muri i a koe e mea ana, Ko te ara tenei: na konei atu, ina tahuri koutou ki matau, ina tahuri ki maui.
22 And ye shall defile the silver covering of your graven images, and the gold overlaying of your molten images; thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth: Out! shalt thou say unto it.
Ka whakapokea hoki e koutou te kopaki o au whakapakoko hiriwa, me te mea whakakikorua o au whakapakoko koura whakarewa: ka rukerukea atu e koe, ano he mea poke, a ka mea ki taua mea, Haere atu.
23 And he will give the rain of thy seed with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread, the produce of the ground, and it shall be fat and rich. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;
A ka homai e ia he ua ki tau purapura e whakatokia e koe ki te oneone, he taro ano, he hua no te oneone, a ka whai ngako, ka nui taua mea: i taua ra ano he nunui nga parae e kai ai au kararehe.
24 and the oxen and the asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
A ko nga kau me nga kuao kaihe e mahi ana i te oneone, ka kai i te kai pai, he mea i whakarererea ki te koko, ki te whakarerere witi.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain and upon every hill that is lifted up, brooks [and] water-courses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
A i runga i nga maunga tiketike katoa, i nga pukepuke ikeike katoa, ka rere he awa, he manga wai, i te ra o te parekura nui, ina hinga nga pourewa.
26 And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the wound of their stroke.
Ko te marama hoki o te marama ka rite ki te marama o te ra, a ko te marama o te ra, e whitu ona whakanekehanga ake, ka rite ki te marama o nga ra e whitu, i te ra e takaia ai e Ihowa te kaiakiko o tana iwi, ina rongoatia e ia te patunga i patua ai ratou.
27 Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning [with] his anger — a grievous conflagration; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a consuming fire;
Nana, kei te haere mai te ingoa o Ihowa i tawhiti, ka tonu tona riri, pongere tonu te paowa e kake ana; ki tonu ona ngutu i te riri, ko tona arero koia ano kei te ahi e kai ana:
28 and his breath as an overflowing torrent, which reacheth even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, and [to put] a bridle into the jaws of the peoples, that causeth them to go astray.
Ko tona manawa, ano he awa e ngawha ana, tae ana ki te kaki rawa, hei tatari i nga iwi ki te tatari o te horihori; a mau rawa ki nga kauae o nga iwi he paraire, hei whakapohehe i a ratou.
29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a feast is sanctified; and joy of heart, as of one who goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
Ka waiata koutou, me te mea ko te po e mahia ai te hakari tapu; ka koa te ngakau, ano he tangata e haere ana me tana putorino, e haere ana ki te maunga o Ihowa, ki te Kamaka o Iharaira.
30 And Jehovah will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard, and will shew the lighting down of his arm with indignation of anger, and a flame of consuming fire, with waterflood and storm and hailstones.
Ka meinga hoki e Ihowa tona reo kororia kia rangona, kia kitea te tautanga iho o tona ringa, me te weriweri o tona riri, te mura o te ahi e kai ana, te apuhau, te tupuhi, me te nganga kohatu.
31 For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be broken down: he will smite [him] with the rod.
Ma te reo hoki o Ihowa ka pakaru ai te Ahiriana i whiu nei ki te rakau.
32 And wherever shall pass the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, it shall be with tambours and harps; and with tumultuous battles will he fight with it.
A ko nga whakapanga katoa o te tokotoko i whakaritea, ko ta Ihowa hoki e whakapa ai ki a ia, ka meinga ki nga timipera, ki nga hapa: he whawhai whakangaueue hoki tana whawhai ki a ratou.
33 For Topheth is prepared of old; for the king also it is prepared: he hath made it deep and large; its pile is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
No mua iho hoki a Topete i whakaritea ai; ae ra, kua rite mo te kingi; kua oti te whakahohonu, te whakanui: ko tona puranga he ahi, nui atu hoki te wahie; ko te manawa o Ihowa, ano he awa whanariki, hei whakangiha.
