Isaiah 14
1 Her time is near at hand, and her days shall not be prolonged. For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose out of Israel, and will make them rest upon their own ground: and the stranger shall be joined with them, and shall adhere to the house of Jacob.
No te mea ka aroha a Ihowa ki a Hakopa, ka whiriwhiria ano a Iharaira e ia; ka meinga hoki ratou kia ata noho ki to ratou ake oneone; ka piri ano te tangata ke ki a ratou, ka uru ano hoki ki roto ki te whare o Hakopa.
2 And the people shall take them, and bring them into their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall make them captives that had taken them, and shall subdue their oppressors.
E tango ano nga iwi i a ratou, e kawe i a ratou ki to ratou wahi, riro tonu iho ratou i te whare o Iharaira hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine i te oneone a Ihowa: a hei whakarau mo ratou o ratou kaiwhakarau, ko ratou ano hei rangatira mo o rat ou kaitukino.
3 And it shall come to pass in that day, that when God shall give thee rest from thy labour, and from thy vexation, and from the hard bondage, wherewith thou didst serve before,
Na, i te ra e meinga ai koe e Ihowa kia okioki i tou pouri, i tou pawera, i te mahi pakeke ano hoki i whakamahia ai koe,
4 Thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and shalt say: How is the oppressor come to nothing, the tribute hath ceased?
Ko reira maranga ai tenei pepeha au mo te kingi o Papurona, ka mea hoki koe, Anana! mutu pu ta te kaitukino, mutu pu ta te pa koura!
5 The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, the rod of the rulers,
Whati ana i a Ihowa te tokotoko o te hunga kino, te hepeta o nga kingi;
6 That struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, that brought nations under in fury, that persecuted in a cruel manner.
Nana i patu nga iwi, me te riri, me te patu kihai i tamutu, nana i whakahaere nga iwi i runga i te riri, me te whakatupu kino, kahore he kaiaraarai.
7 The whole earth is quiet and still, it is glad and hath rejoiced.
Kua whai okiokinga, kua ata noho te whenua katoa; pakaru mai ana ta ratou waiata.
8 The fir trees also have rejoiced over thee, and the cedars of Libanus, saying: Since thou hast slept, there hath none come up to cut us down.
Ae, kei te koa nga kauri ki a koe, ratou ko nga hita o Repanona, e ki ana, No tou taunga ano ki raro i kore ai te kaitapahi e tae mai ki a matou.
9 Hell below was in an uproar to meet thee at thy coming, it stirred up the giants for thee. All the princes of the earth are risen up from their thrones, all the princes of nations. (Sheol h7585)
Ko te reinga i raro, oho ana i a koe, he tutakitanga ki a koe i tou taenga atu; he meatanga ki a koe i whakaarahia ai e ia nga tupapaku, nga mea nunui o te whenua; maranga ana i a ia nga kingi katoa o nga iwi i runga i o ratou torona. (Sheol h7585)
10 All shall answer, and say to thee: Thou also art wounded as well as we, thou art become like unto us.
Ka korero ratou katoa ki a koe, ka mea, Ko koe ano hoki, kua ngoikore penei me matou? kua rite koe ki a matou?
11 Thy pride is brought down to hell, thy carcass is fallen down: under thee shall the moth be strewed, and worms shall be thy covering. (Sheol h7585)
Kua oti tou kororia te whakahoki iho ki te reinga, me te rangi ano o au hatere: ko te whariki mou ko te kutukutu, ko te hipoki mou ko nga toke. (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who didst rise in the morning? how art thou fallen to the earth, that didst wound the nations?
Anana! tou takanga iho i te rangi, e Tawera, e te tama a te ata! te tapahanga iho i a koe ki raro, nau nei i tuku nga iwi ki raro!
13 And thou saidst in thy heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit in the mountain of the covenant, in the sides of the north.
I mea hoki tou ngakau, Ka piki ahau ki te rangi, ka whakanekehia ake e ahau toku torona ki runga i nga whetu a te Atua, ka noho ano ahau ki te maunga o te whakaminenga, ki nga taha rawa ki te raki.
14 I will ascend above the height of the clouds, I will be like the most High.
Ka pikitia e ahau a runga ake o nga wahi tiketike o nga kapua; ka rite ahau ki te Runga Rawa.
Otira ka whakahokia iho koe ki te reinga, ki nga pito rawa o te rua. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that shall see thee, shall turn toward thee, and behold thee. Is this the man that troubled the earth, that shook kingdoms,
Ko te hunga e kite i a koe, matatau tonu ta ratou titiro ki a koe, me ta ratou ata whakaaroaro ano, Ko te tangata ianei tenei i wiri ai te whenua, i ngaueue ai nga rangatiratanga;
17 That made the world a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof, that opened not the prison to his prisoners?
I mea nei i te ao hei koraha, wahia ana e ia ona pa: kihai i tuku i ana herehere ki to ratou wahi?
18 All the kings of the nations have all of them slept in glory, every one in his own house.
Ko nga kingi katoa o nga iwi, ko ratou katoa, takoto ana i tona whare, i tona whare, i runga i te kororia.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave, as an unprofitable branch defiled, and wrapped up among them that were slain by the sword, and art gone down to the bottom of the pit, as a rotten carcass.
Ko koe ia he mea maka mai i tou urupa, ano he peka e whakariharihangia ana, he mea whakakakahu ki te hunga i patua, i werohia ki te hoari, e haere ana ki raro ki nga kohatu o te rua; ano he tinana i takatakahia e te waewae.
20 Thou shalt not keep company with them, even in burial: for thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people: the seed of the wicked shall not be named for ever.
E kore te tanumanga mou e huihuia ki to ratou, mou i whakangaro i tou whenua, i patu i tou iwi: e kore te uri o nga kaimahi i te kino e whai ingoa, ake ake.
21 Prepare his children for slaughter for the iniquity of their fathers: they shall not rise up, nor inherit the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Kia tere te patu mo ana tamariki, mo te he o o ratou matua; kei kake, kei riro ano i a ratou te whenua, kei kapi te mata o te ao i o ratou pa.
22 And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will destroy the name of Babylon, and the remains, and the bud, and the offspring, saith the Lord.
Ka whakatika hoki ahau ki a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka tapahia atu ano e ahau i Papurona te ingoa me te toenga, te tama me te mokopuna, e ai ta Ihowa.
23 And I will make it a possession for the ericius and pools of waters, and I will sweep it and wear it out with a besom, saith the Lord of hosts.
Ka meinga ano a reira e ahau hei kainga mo te matuku, hei harotoroto wai; ka purumatia ano e ahau ki te puruma o te whakangaromanga, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
24 The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it be: and as I have purposed,
Kua oati a Ihowa o nga mano, kua mea, Ina, u tonu taku i whakaaro ai: ko taku i whakatakoto ai, mau tonu;
25 So shall it fall out: That I will destroy the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: and his yoke shall be taken away from them, and his burden shall be taken off their shoulder.
Mo te Ahiriana kia whati i ahau ki toku whenua, kia takatakahia ki runga ki oku maunga: ko reira tana ioka marere ai i runga i a ratou; a ka marere tana pikaunga i runga i o ratou pokohiwi.
26 This is the counsel, that I have purposed upon all the earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all nations.
Ko te whakaaro tenei kei te takoto mo te whenua katoa: ko te ringa ano tenei e totoro atu nei ki nga iwi katoa.
27 For the Lord of hosts hath decreed, and who can disannul it? and his hand is stretched out: and who shall turn it away?
Kua takoto hoki i a Ihowa o nga mano, a ma wai e whakataka? kua totoro tona ringa, a ko wai hei mea kia pepeke?
28 In the year that king Achaz died, was this burden:
No te tau i mate ai a Kingi Ahata tenei poropititanga.
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Philistia, that the rod of him that struck thee is broken in pieces: for out of the root of the serpent shall come forth a basilisk, and his seed shall swallow the bird.
Kei koa, e Pirihitia katoa, ki te whatinga o te rakau a te kaiwhiu i a koe: tera hoki e puta ake he neke i roto i te pakiaka o te nakahi, a ko tona hua he nakahi e rere ana me he ahi.
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall be fed, and the poor shall rest with confidence: and I will make thy root perish with famine, and I will kill thy remnant.
Na ka kai nga matamua o nga ware, ka takoto nga rawakore, te ai he wehi; ka whakamatea ano e ahau tou pakiaka ki te hemokai, a ka patua ou morehu.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city: all Philistia is thrown down: for a smoke shall come from the north, and there is none that shall escape his troop.
Aue, e te kuwaha; hamama, e te pa; harotu kau koe, e Pirihitia katoa: e puta mai hoki te paowa i te raki: e kore tetahi e tu ke mai i te wa i whakaritea mona.
32 And what shall be answered to the messengers of the nations? That the Lord hath founded Sion, and the poor of his people shall hope in him.
A he aha te kupu e whakahokia ki nga karere o te iwi? Ina ra, na Ihowa a Hiona i whakatu, a ka ai a reira hei rerenga atu mo nga mea o tana iwi i tukinotia.
