Isaiah 8
1 And Jehovah said to me, Take thee a great tablet, and write thereon with a man's style, concerning 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 took unto me to witness, sure witnesses, Urijah 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 came near to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son; and Jehovah said 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 lad knoweth to cry, My father! and, My mother! the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken 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 spoke again to me, saying,
I korero mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea.
6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah which flow softly, and rejoiceth in Rezin and in the son of Remaliah,
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 therefore behold, the Lord will bring up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall mount up over all his channels, and go over all his 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 he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow it and go further, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his 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 Rage, ye peoples, and be broken in pieces! And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth: 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 Settle a plan, and it shall come to nought; speak a 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 spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and he 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 Ye shall not say, Conspiracy, of everything of which this people saith, Conspiracy; and fear ye not their fear, and be not in dread.
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 will be for a sanctuary; and 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 among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
He tokomaha ano hoki o ratou e tutuki te waewae ki reira, e hinga, pakaru iho, e mahangatia, mau tonu iho.
16 Bind 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, who 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 that 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 the necromancers and unto the soothsayers, who chirp and who mutter, [say, ] Shall not a people seek unto their God? [Will they go] for the living 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 the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, for them there is no daybreak.
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, hard pressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass when they are hungry, they will fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and will gaze 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 will look to the earth; and behold, trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they shall be driven into thick darkness.
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.
