Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a King shall reigne in iustice, and the princes shall rule in iudgement.
Nana, ka kingi te kingi i runga i te tika, ka whakahaere tikanga ano nga rangatira i runga i te whakawa.
2 And that man shall bee as an hiding place from the winde, and as a refuge for the tempest: as riuers of water in a drie place, and as the shadowe of a great rocke in a weary land.
A ka ai he tangata hei kuhunga ina pa te hau, hei piringa kei mate i te tupuhi; ka rite ki nga awa wai i te wahi maroke, ki te ata o te kohatu nui i te whenua ngaunga ra.
3 The eyes of the seeing shall not be shut, and the eares of them that heare, shall hearken.
Na e kore e atarua nga kanohi o te hunga kite; ka whakarongo ano te hunga i te taringa rongo.
4 And the heart of the foolish shall vnderstand knowledge, and the tongue of the stutters shalbe ready to speake distinctly.
Ka matauria ano te matauranga e te ngakau o te hunga ponana, a ka hohoro te arero o nga reo kikiki ki te korero marama.
5 A nigard shall no more be called liberall, nor the churle riche.
E kore te wairangi e kiia i muri he ohaoha, e kore ano te kaiponu e kiia he atawhai.
6 But the nigarde will speake of nigardnesse, and his heart will worke iniquitie, and do wickedly, and speake falsely against the Lord, to make emptie the hungrie soule, and to cause the drinke of the thirstie to faile.
Ka korero hoki te tangata nanakia i te nanakia, a ka mahi tona ngakau i te kino, kia whakahawea ai ki te tapu, kia puta ke ai tana korero ki a Ihowa, kia noho tahanga ai i a ia te wairua o te tangata matekai, kia moti ai hoki he wai mo te tangata matewai.
7 For the weapons of the churle are wicked: hee deuiseth wicked counsels, to vndoe the poore with lying words: and to speake against the poore in iudgement.
He kino hoki nga hanga a te kaiponu: e whakatakotoria ana e ia he whakaaro kino, he korero teka e he ai te hunga iti, ahakoa e tika ana ano nga korero a te rawakore.
8 But the liberall man will deuise of liberall things, and he will continue his liberalitie.
He ohaoha ia nga tikanga a te ohaoha; a ka u ia ki nga mahi ohaoha.
9 Rise vp, ye women that are at ease: heare my voyce, ye carelesse daughters: hearken to my wordes.
Whakatika e nga wahine e noho pai ana, whakarongo ki toku reo: e nga tamahine whakaarokore, kia whai taringa ki aku kupu.
10 Yee women, that are carelesse, shall be in feare aboue a yeere in dayes: for the vintage shall faile, and the gatherings shall come no more.
He maha nga ra i tua atu i te tau e raruraru ai koutou, e nga wahine maharakore: no te mea ka kore te whakinga waina, e kore hoki e tae mai te kohikohinga.
11 Yee women, that are at ease, be astonied: feare, O yee carelesse women: put off the clothes: make bare, and girde sackcloth vpon the loynes.
E wiri, e nga wahine e noho humarie ana; pokaikaha noa iho, e te hunga maharakore; whakarerea nga kakahu, noho tahanga, whitikiria he kakahu taratara ki o koutou hope.
12 Men shall lament for the teates, euen for the pleasant fieldes, and for the fruitefull vine.
Ka papaki ratou ki nga uma mo nga mara ataahua, mo te waina hua.
13 Vpon the lande of my people shall growe thornes and briers: yea, vpon all the houses of ioye in the citie of reioysing,
Ka puta ake te tataramoa me te tumatakuru ki te oneone o taku iwi, ina, ki runga ki nga whare koa katoa o te pa hari:
14 Because the palace shalbe forsaken, and the noise of the citie shalbe left: the towre and fortresse shalbe dennes for euer, and the delite of wilde asses, and a pasture for flockes,
No te mea ka mahue te whare kingi, ka whakarerea te pa tokomaha: ko te puke me te pourewa ka waiho hei ana a ake ake, hei mea e koa ai nga kaihe mohoao, hei wahi kai ma nga kahui;
15 Vntill the Spirit be powred vpon vs from aboue, and the wildernes become a fruitfull fielde, and the plenteous fielde be counted as a forest.
Kia ringihia mai ra ano i runga te wairua ki a tatou, kia meinga ra ano te koraha hei mara whai hua, kia kiia ano te mara whai hua he ngahere.
16 And iudgement shall dwel in the desert, and iustice shall remaine in the fruitfull fielde.
Ko reira te whakawa noho ai ki te koraha, a hei kainga te mara hua mo te tika.
17 And the worke of iustice shall bee peace, euen the worke of iustice and quietnesse, and assurance for euer.
A ko te mahi a te tika he rongo mau; ko te whakaotinga o te tika he ata noho, he ngakau u a ake ake.
18 And my people shall dwell in the tabernacle of peace, and in sure dwellings, and in safe resting places.
Ka noho hoki taku iwi ki te nohoanga o te rongo mau, ki nga kainga e u ai te ngakau, ki nga okiokinga humarie.
19 When it haileth, it shall fall on the forest, and the citie shall be set in the lowe place.
Ka tarere iho ia te whatu i te hinganga o te ngahere; a ka whakahoroa rawatia te pa ki raro.
20 Blessed are ye that sowe vpon all waters, and driue thither the feete of the oxe and the asse.
Ano te hari o koutou, o te hunga e whakato ana ki te taha o nga wai katoa, e tuku atu ana i nga waewae o te kau, o te kaihe.
