Isaiah 54
1 Give praise, O thou barren, that bearest not: sing forth praise, and make a joyful noise, thou that didst not travail with child: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband, saith the Lord.
Waiata, e te pakoko, e koe kahore ano nei i whanau: kia pakaru mai te waiata, hamama, e koe kahore ano kia whakamamae: he tini hoki nga tamariki a te noho kau i nga tamariki a te mea whai hoa, e ai ta Ihowa.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and stretch out the skins of thy tabernacles, spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
Kia rahi atu te turanga mo tou teneti; kia maro hoki nga uhi o ou nohoanga: aua e kaiponuhia; kia roa ou taura, kia u hoki ou poupou.
3 For thou shalt pass on to the right hand, and to the left: and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and shall inhabit the desolate cities.
Ka tohatoha noa atu hoki koe ki matau, ki maui; a ka riro nga tauiwi i ou uri; ma ratou ano ka nohoia ai nga pa kua ururuatia.
4 Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded, nor blush: for thou shalt not be put to shame, because thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt remember no more the reproach of thy widowhood.
Kaua e wehi; ta te mea e kore koe e whakama; kaua ano e numinumi, ta te mea e kore koe e whakama; no te mea ka wareware i a koe te whakama o tou tamahinetanga; a heoi ano maharatanga ki te ingoa kino o tou pouarutanga.
5 For he that made thee shall rule over thee, the Lord of hosts is his name: and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, shall be called the God of all the earth.
Ko tou Kaihanga tau tahu; ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa; ko te Mea Tapu hoki o Iharaira tou kaiwhakaora; ko te Atua o te whenua katoa ka huaina ki a ia.
6 For the Lord hath called thee as woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, and as a wife cast off from her youth, said thy God.
No te mea kua karanga a Ihowa ki a koe, ano he wahine kua whakarerea, kua pouri te ngakau, ano he hoa wahine o te taitamarikitanga, i te mea kua mahue, e ai ta tou Atua.
7 For a, small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.
He iti te wahi i mahue ai koe i ahau; he nui ia nga atawhainga e kohikohi ai ahau i a koe.
8 In a moment of indignation have I hid my face a little while from thee, but with everlasting kindness have I had mercy on thee, said the Lord thy Redeemer.
He riri puhake, i huna ahau i toku kanohi i a koe, he wahi iti; he aroha mau tonu ia toku e aroha ai ki a koe, e ai ta Ihowa, ta tou kaiwhakaora.
9 This thing is to me as in the days of Noe, to whom I swore, that I would no more bring in the waters of Noe upon the earth: so have I sworn not to be angry with thee, and not to rebuke thee.
He penei hoki tenei ki ahau me nga wai i a Noa; i ahau i oati ra, e kore e hurihia ano te whenua e nga wai i a Noa: waihoki ka oati nei ahau, e kore ahau e riri ki a koe, e kore ano e whakatupehupehu ki a koe.
10 For the mountains shall be moved, and the hills shall tremble; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, and the covenant of my peace shall not be moved: said the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
Ko nga maunga hoki ka riro ke, ko nga pukepuke ka nekehia atu; tena ko toku aroha e kore e rere ke i a koe, e kore ano e nekehia ketia te kawenata e mau ai taku rongo; e ai ta Ihowa e atawhai nei i a koe.
11 O poor little one, tossed with tempest, without all comfort, behold I will lay thy stones in order, and will lay thy foundations with sapphires,
E koe, kua whakawhiua nei, kua puhia nei e te awha! kahore ano i whakamarietia, nana, maku ou kohatu e whakatakoto, he pai hoki te kakano; ka hanga ano e ahau ou turanga ki te hapira.
12 And I will make thy bulwarks of jasper: and thy gates of graven stones, and all thy borders of desirable stones.
Ka hanga ano e ahau ou tihi ki te rupi, ou tatau ki te karapanaka, ou rohe katoa ano ki nga kohatu whakapaipai.
13 All thy children shall be taught of the Lord: and great shall be the peace of thy children.
A ka whakaakona e Ihowa au tamariki katoa; ka nui hoki te rangimarie ki au tamariki.
14 And thou shalt be founded in justice: depart far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.
Ka whakaturia koe ki runga ki te tika, ka whakamataratia atu i a koe te tukino; e kore hoki koe e wehi; e kore ano te pawera e tata ki a koe.
15 Behold, an inhabitant shall come, who was not with me, he that was a stranger to thee before, shall be joined to thee.
Nana, huihui noa ratou, ehara ia i te mea naku: ko te tangata e huihui ana ki te whawhai ki a koe ka papahoro, he mea mou.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and bringeth forth an instrument for his work, and I have created the killer to destroy.
Nana, naku i hanga te parakimete e pupuhi nei i te ahi waro, e mau nei i te mea hei mahi mana; naku hoki te kaihuna i hanga hei whakamoti.
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper: and every tongue that resisteth thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their justice with me, saith the Lord.
E kore tetahi patu e hanga ana mou e marohirohi: ko nga arero katoa e whakatika mai ana ki a koe ki te whakawa, mau ano e whakahe. Ko ta nga pononga a Ihowa tenei, tuku iho, tuku iho; naku hoki ratou i tika ai, e ai ta Ihowa.
