< Isaiah 5 >

1 Now will I sing to my beloued a song of my beloued to his vineyarde, My beloued had a vineyarde in a very fruitefull hill,
Na, me waiata e ahau he waiata na taku i aroha nei mo taku i kaingakau ai, he mea mo tana mara waina. He mara waina ta taku kaingakau i tetahi pukepuke momona:
2 And hee hedged it, and gathered out the stones of it, and he planted it with the best plants, and hee builte a towre in the middes thereof, and made a wine presse therein: then hee looked that it should bring foorth grapes: but it brought foorth wilde grapes.
Na taiepatia ana e ia, kohikohia ana e ia nga kohatu o reira, whakatokia ana e ia ki te waina pai rawa, hanga ana e ia he pourewa ki waenganui, keria ana ano e ia he poka waina ki reira: a ka tatari ia kia whai karepe, na ka hua mai he karepe mao ri.
3 Now therefore, O inhabitants of Ierusalem and men of Iudah, iudge, I pray you, betweene me, and my vineyarde.
Na, e te hunga e noho nei i Hiruharama, me nga tangata o Hura, whakaritea ta maua whakawa ko taku mara waina.
4 What coulde I haue done any more to my vineyard that I haue not done vnto it? why haue I looked that it should bring foorth grapes, and it bringeth foorth wilde grapes?
Ko te aha ake ano ra i ahei kia mahia ki taku mara, kihai i mahia e ahau ki reira? he aha ra, i ahau i tatari ai kia hua mai he karepe, i puta ke mai ai he karepe maori?
5 And nowe I will tell you what I will do to my vineyarde: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten vp: I will breake the wall thereof, and it shall be troden downe:
Na inaianei maku e whakaatu ki a koutou taku e mea ai ki taku mara waina: Ka tangohia atu e ahau tona pa whakaruru hau, a ka pau ia te kai; ka tukitukia hoki e ahau tona taiepa, a ka takatakahia:
6 And I will laye it waste: it shall not be cut, nor digged, but briers, and thornes shall growe vp: I will also commande the cloudes that they raine no raine vpon it.
A ka meinga e ahau kia ururua; e kore e tapatapahia, e kore e ngakia; engari ka huaranga ake te tataramoa me te tumatakuru: ka ako atu hoki ahau ki nga kapua kia kaua te ua e uaina ki reira.
7 Surely the vineyard of the Lord of hostes is the house of Israel, and the men of Iudah are his pleasant plant, and hee looked for iudgement, but beholde oppression: for righteousnesse, but beholde a crying.
Ko te mara waina hoki a Ihowa o nga mano, ko te whare o Iharaira, a ko nga tangata o Hura tana mea ahuareka i whakato ai: ka tatari ia ki te whakawa, na ko te tukino; ki te tika, na he aue.
8 Woe vnto them that ioyne house to house, and laye fielde to fielde, till there bee no place, that ye may be placed by your selues in the mids of the earth.
Aue te mate mo te hunga e hono ana i te whare ki te whare, e whakapiri nei i te mara ki te mara, a kore noa iho he wahi, a ka meinga koutou kia noho, ko koutou anake, i waenganui i te whenua.
9 This is in mine cares, saith the Lord of hostes. Surely many houses shall be desolate, euen great, and faire without inhabitant.
Ko ta Ihowa o nga mano tenei i hamumu ai ki oku taringa, He pono, he tini nga whare ka mokemoke, tona nunui, tona ataahua, ka noho tahanga kau.
10 For ten acres of vines shall yelde one bath, and the seede of an homer shall yelde an ephah.
No te mea kotahi tekau nga eka o te mara waina, ka maea ake kotahi tonu te pati: i ki te homa i te purapura, ka maea ake kotahi te epa.
11 Wo vnto them, that rise vp early to follow drunkennes, and to them that continue vntill night, till the wine doe inflame them.
Aue te mate mo te hunga e maranga wawe ana i te ata ki te whai i te wai kaha; e kawe ana i te roa o te po, nawai a ka tahuna e te waina!
12 And the harpe and viole, timbrel, and pipe, and wine are in their feastes: but they regard not the worke of the Lord, neither consider the worke of his handes.
Ko te hapa me te hatere, ko te timipera me te putorino, ko te waina, kei a ratou hakari ena: heoi kahore a ratou mahara ki te mahi a Ihowa, kahore hoki he whakaaro ki te mahi a ona ringa.
13 Therefore my people is gone into captiuitie, because they had no knowledge, and the glorie thereof are men famished, and the multitude thereof is dried vp with thirst.
Koia i riro ai toku iwi i te parau, he kore matauranga; ko o ratou tangata ingoa nui hoki kua hemo i te kai, a ko to ratou mano tini kua pakapaka rawa i te matewai.
14 Therefore hell hath inlarged it selfe, and hath opened his mouth, without measure, and their glorie, and their multitude, and their pompe, and hee that reioyceth among them, shall descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
Na reira te reinga i whakanui ai i tona hiahia, i whewhera noa atu ai i tona mangai; a heke atu ana ki reira to ratou kororia, o ratou mano tini, to ratou whakahi, me te tangata e whakamanamana ana i roto i a ratou. (Sheol h7585)
15 And man shalbe brought downe, and man shalbe humbled, euen the eyes of the proude shalbe humbled.
Ka whakapikoa ano hoki te tangata ware, a ka whakaititia te tangata nui ka whakahokia iho hoki nga kanohi o te hunga whakakake:
16 And the Lord of hostes shalbe exalted in iudgement, and the holy God shalbe sanctified in iustice.
Otiia ka whakanekehia ake a Ihowa o nga mano i runga i te whakawa, ka whakatapua ano te Atua, te Mea Tapu, i runga i te tika.
17 Then shall the lambes feede after their maner, and the strangers shall eate the desolate places of the fat.
Ko reira nga reme kai ai, ano kei to ratou wahi, a ka kainga e nga mea haere noa nga wahi kua ururuatia o te hunga tetere.
18 Woe vnto them, that draw iniquitie with cordes of vanitie, and sinne, as with cart ropes:
Aue te mate mo te hunga e kumea ana e ratou te he ki nga aho o te horihori, te hara hoki me te mea ki te taura o te kata:
19 Which say, Let him make speede: let him hasten his worke, that wee may see it: and let the counsell of the holy one of Israel draw neere and come, that we may knowe it.
E mea nei, Kia hihiko ia, kia hohoro tana mahi, kia kite ai matou: kia whakatata mai hoki, kia tae mai te whakaaro o te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, kia mohio ai matou.
20 Woe vnto them that speake good of euill, and euill of good, which put darkenes for light, and light for darkenes, that put bitter for sweete, and sweete for sowre.
Aue te mate mo te hunga e mea nei ki te kino, he pai, ki te pai hoki, he kino; e mea nei i te pouri hei marama, i te marama hoki hei pouri; e mea nei i te kawa hei reka, i te reka hei kawa!
21 Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight.
Aue te mate mo te hunga he nui nei o ratou whakaaro ki ta ratou titiro, e mahara ana hoki he hunga mohio ratou!
22 Wo vnto them that are mightie to drinke wine, and to them that are strong to powre in strong drinke:
Aue te mate mo te hunga kaha ki te inu waina, he hunga uaua ano ki te whakaranu i te wai kaha:
23 Which iustifie the wicked for a rewarde, and take away the righteousnesse of the righteous from him.
E whakatika nei i ta te tangata he, he whakaaro ki te utu; e tango atu nei i te tika o te tangata tika.
24 Therefore as the flame of fire deuoureth the stubble, and as the chaffe is cosumed of the flame: so their roote shalbe as rottennesse, and their bud shall rise vp like dust, because they haue cast off the Lawe of the Lord of hostes, and contemned the word of the holy one of Israel.
Mo reira ka rite ki te kainga a te arero o te ahi i te kakau witi, ki te hinganga o te otaota maroke ki roto ki te mura; ka pera to ratou pakiaka te pirau, ka rere to ratou puawai ki runga, ano he puehu: mo ratou i whakakahore ki te ture a Ihowa o nga mano, i whakahawea ano hoki ki te kupu a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
25 Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and hee hath stretched out his hand vpon them, and hath smitten them that the mountaines did tremble: and their carkases were torne in the middes of the streetes, and for all this his wrath was not turned away, but his hande was stretched out still.
Na reira te riri o Ihowa i mura ai ki tana iwi, a kua torona e ia tona ringa ki te whawhai ki a ratou, a patua iho ratou e ia; i ngaueue nga maunga, a ko o ratou tinana mate me te mea he paru i waenganui o nga huarahi. Na ahakoa tenei katoa, kah ore tona riri i te tahuri atu, maro tonu tona ringa.
26 And he will lift vp a signe vnto the nations a farre, and wil hisse vnto them from the ende of the earth: and beholde, they shall come hastily with speede.
Ka whakaarahia ano hoki e ia he kara ki nga iwi i tawhiti; ka whiowhio ano ki a ratou ki te pito o te whenua. Nana, ka hohoro, ka tere tonu ta ratou haere mai.
27 None shall faint nor fall among them: none shall slumber nor sleepe, neither shall the girdle of his loynes be loosed, nor the latchet of his shooes be broken:
E kore tetahi o ratou e ngenge, e kore e tapepa te waewae; e kore tetahi e parangia, e kore e moe; e kore te whitiki o o ratou hope e mawheto, e kore ano te here o o ratou hu e motu.
28 Whose arrowes shall be sharpe, and all his bowes bent: his horse hoofes shall be thought like flint, and his wheeles like a whirlewinde.
Ko a ratou pere, koi tonu, he piko katoa a ratou kopere; ko nga paua o o ratou hoiho ka kiia he mata, a ko o ratou wira he awhiowhio:
29 His roaring shalbe like a lyon, and he shall roare like lyons whelpes: they shall roare, and lay holde of the praye: they shall take it away, and none shall deliuer it.
Ko ta ratou hamama, koia ano kei ta te raiona, ka hamama ratou ano he kuao raiona: ae ra, ka ngaengere ratou, ka hopukina: ae ra, ka ngengere ratou, ka hopukina ta ratou tupapaku, kawhakina tonutia atu, kahore hoki he tangata hei whakaora.
30 And in that day they shall roare vpon them, as the roaring of the sea: and if they looke vnto the earth, beholde darkenesse, and sorowe, and the light shalbe darkened in their skie.
Na ka hamama ratou ki a ratou i taua ra, me te mea ko te moana e haruru ana: a, ki te titiro tetahi ki te whenua, nana, he pouri me te tuatea, a kua pouri te marama i ona kapua.
