Isaiah 10
1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write iniquity;
Aue te mate mo te hunga e whakatakoto ana i nga tikanga he, mo nga kaituhituhi ano hoki e tuhituhi nei i te mea nanakia;
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right of the poor of My people, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
Hei whakakotiti ke i te whakawa mo nga rawakore, hei tango noa iho i te mea e tika ana ma nga ware o toku iwi, kia waiho ai nga mea a te pouaru hei taonga ma ratou, kia pahuatia ai e ratou nga pani!
3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the ruin which shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your glory?
Ka pehea ra koutou i te ra o te tirohanga mai, o te whakangaromanga ka pa mai i tawhiti? ka rere koutou ki a wai hei awhina? a ka waiho to koutou kororia ki hea?
4 They can do nought except crouch under the captives, and fall under the slain. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Ka piko noa iho ratou ki raro i nga herehere, ka hinga ki raro i te iwi i patua. Ahakoa ko tenei katoa, e kore tona riri e tahuri ke, engari maro tonu tona ringa.
5 O Asshur, the rod of Mine anger, in whose hand as a staff is Mine indignation!
Aue, e te Ahiriana, te rakau o toku riri, te whiu kei tona ringa ko toku aritarita!
6 I do send him against an ungodly nation, and against the people of My wrath do I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Ka unga ia e ahau ki te iwi ngutukau; he he mo te iwi o toku riri taku e whakahau ai ki a ia, ki te taonga parakete mana, ki te pahua, ki te mea i a ratou hei takahanga, hei pera me te paru o nga ara.
7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
Kahore ia ona whakaaro penei, kihai hoki tona ngakau i mea ki te penei; engari he whakangaro ta tona ngakau, kia kaua ano hoki e torutoru nga iwi e hatepea e ia.
8 For he saith: 'Are not my princes all of them kings?
E ki ana hoki ia, He teka ianei he kingi katoa aku rangatira?
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
He teka ianei he rite a Karano ki Karakemihi, he rite a Hamata ki Arapara, he rite a Hamaria ki Ramahiku?
10 As my hand hath reached the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did exceed them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
Ka rite ki nga kingitanga o nga whakapakoko i tupono mai ki toku ringa; nui atu nei hoki o ratou whakapakoko i o Hiruharama, i o Hamaria;
11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?'
E kore ianei taku e mea ai ki Hiruharama, ki ona whakapakoko, e rite ki taku i mea ai ki Hamaria, ki ona whakapakoko?
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed His whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.
Na, tenei ake, kia oti i te Ariki tana mahi katoa ki Maunga Hiona, ki Hiruharama, ka whiua e ahau nga hua o te ngakau nui o te kingi o Ahiria, me te kororia ano o ona kanohi whakakake.
13 For he hath said: by the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I am prudent; in that I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and have brought down as one mighty the inhabitants;
Kua ki na hoki ia, Na te kaha o toku ringa i oti ai tenei i ahau, na toku whakaaro nui; he tangata whai mahara hoki ahau: kua whakanekehia hoki e ahau nga rohe o nga iwi, kua pahuatia ano e ahau o ratou taonga, a kua riro i ahau, i te marohirohi, ki raro te hunga noho o nga torona:
14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are forsaken, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped.
Na kua kitea e toku ringa nga taonga o nga iwi, ano he kohanga: i rite hoki ki te kohikohinga a tetahi i nga hua manu i mahue, taku kohikohinga i te whenua katoa: a kihai i oraora te parirau o tetahi, kihai i hamama te mangai, kihai hoki i pipi.
15 Should the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Should the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? as if a rod should move them that lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up him that is not wood.
E whakahihi ranei te titaha ki te tangata nana nei ia i whakamahi ki te hahau? e whakakake ranei te kani ki te tangata nana nei ia i kani ai? me te mea nei ko te patupatu hei whakakorikori i tona kaihapai, ko te tokotoko ranei hei hapai i te tan gata ehara nei i te rakau.
16 Therefore will the Lord, the LORD of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.
Mo reira ka unga mai e te Ariki, e te Ariki o nga mano, te hiroki ki ona mea momona; a ka ka ake a raro o tona kororia, he mea whakau, koia ano kei te ka o te ahi.
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
A hei ahi te marama o Iharaira, a ko tana Mea Tapu ano hoki hei mura; a ka wera ona tumatakuru, ona tataramoa, pau ake i te ra kotahi.
18 And the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, he will consume both soul and body; and it shall be as when a sick man wasteth away.
Ka pau ano hoki i a ia te kororia o tona ngahere, o tana mara momona, te wairua raua ko te tinana; a, hei te otinga, me te mea kua ngohe te ngakau o te kaihapai kara.
19 And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them down.
Na, ko te toenga o nga rakau o tona ngahere, he torutoru, ma te tamaiti noa e tuhituhi.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
I taua ra ka whakamutua e nga toenga o Iharaira ratou ko nga morehu o te whare o Hakopa, ta ratou okioki ki to ratou kaiwhiu; engari ka okioki pono ratou ki a Ihowa, ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
21 A remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto God the Mighty.
He toenga ano e hoki mai, ko te toenga o Hakopa, ki te Atua kaha rawa.
22 For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them shall return; an extermination is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
No te mea ahakoa i rite tou iwi, a Iharaira ki te onepu o te moana, he toenga kau o ratou e hoki mai: ko te whakaotinga i whakaritea, me te mea e puhake ana i te tika.
23 For an extermination wholly determined shall the Lord, the GOD of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth.
Ka oti ra hoki, ka mahia ano hoki e te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano, te mea i whakaritea ki waenganui i te whenua katoa.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts: O My people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of Asshur, though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
Na reira tenei kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, E taku iwi e noho nei i Hiona kaua e wehi i te Ahiriana: ahakoa patu ia i a koe ki te rakau, hapainga mai ranei e ia tona tokotoko ki a koe, pera me ta Ihipa.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and Mine anger shall be to their destruction.
He wahi iti rawa nei, a ka whakatutukitia te weriweri, toku riri hoki, i a ratou ka huna.
26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the Rock of Oreb; and as His rod was over the sea, so shall He lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
Ka oho ano i a Ihowa o nga mano he whiu mona, he pera me te patunga o Miriana ki te kamaka ki Orepe; a ka iri tona tokotoko i runga i te moana, a ka hapainga e ia, pera i tana i Ihipa.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed by reason of fatness.
Na i taua ra ka makere atu tana pikaunga i tou pokohiwi, me tana ioka i tou kaki, a ka kore noa iho ano hoki te ioka i te whakawahinga.
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmas he layeth up his baggage;
Kua tae ki Aiata, kua pahemo ki Mikirono; ko ana mea rongoatia ake e ia ki Mikimaha:
29 They are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembleth; Gibeath-shaul is fled.
Kei tenei taha ratou o te whakawhitinga; kua noho a puni ratou ki Kepa: pawera noa iho a Rama; kua rere a Kipea o Haora.
30 Cry thou with a shrill voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laish! O thou poor Anathoth!
Kia nui tou reo, e te tamahine a Karimi! whakarongo, e Raihi! He mate tou, e Anatoto!
31 Madmenah is in mad flight; the inhabitants of Gebim flee to cover.
He whati a Maramena; kei te huihui nga tangata o Kepimi, he tahuti.
32 This very day shall he halt at Nob, shaking his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Hei tenei ra ano ka tu ia ki Nopo: kei te ruru tona ringa ki te maunga o te tamahine a Hiona, ki te pukepuke i Hiruharama.
33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the boughs with terror; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be laid low.
Nana, ka tapahia e te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano, nga peka, nui atu hoki te wehi: a ka tuaina ki raro nga mea he tiketike nei te ahua, ka whakaititia ano hoki nga mea whakakake.
34 And He shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
Ka tuaina ano e ia nga rakau poruru o te ngahere ki te rino, ka hinga ano hoki a Repanona i te mea nui.
