Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
Ko te poropititanga mo Papurona i kitea e Ihaia tama a Amoho.
2 Set ye up an ensign upon the high mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
Whakaarahia he kara ki runga ki te maunga horehore, kia rahi te reo ki a ratou, tawhiritia atu te ringa kia haere mai ai ratou ki roto ki nga kuwaha o nga rangatira.
3 I have commanded My consecrated ones, yea, I have called My mighty ones for mine anger, even My proudly exulting ones.
Kua oti aku i whakatapu ai te whakahau, kua karangatia ano hoki e ahau aku marohirohi ki toku riri, ara aku e whakamanamana nui nei.
4 Hark, a tumult in the mountains, like as of a great people! Hark, the uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
Ko te haruru o te huihui i runga i nga maunga, tona rite kei to te iwi nui! he haruru, he ngangau no te huihui o nga kingitanga o nga iwi! e whakataka ana e Ihowa o nga mano te ope mo te whawhai.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of His indignation, to destroy the whole earth.
E haere mai nei ratou i tawhiti, i te pito o te rangi, a Ihowa me nga patu a tona riri, ki te whakangaro i te whenua katoa!
6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
Aue koutou, kua tata hoki te ra o Ihowa; tera e puta mai, ano he whakangaromanga na te Kaha Rawa.
7 Therefore shall all hands be slack, and every heart of man shall melt.
No reira ka ngoikore nga ringa katoa, ka ngohe noa iho nga ngakau katoa o nga tangata.
8 And they shall be affrighted; pangs and throes shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail; they shall look aghast one at another; their faces shall be faces of flame.
Ka ohorere ano ratou: mau pu i te mamae, i te whakapouri; ko to ratou mamae koia ano kei to te wahine e whakawhanau ana: ka miharo ratou tetahi ki tetahi, a ko o ratou mata, ano he mura ahi.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel, and full of wrath and fierce anger; to make the earth a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it,
Nana, e haere mai nei te ra o Ihowa, he kino, he riri, he whakatakariri e mura ana; hei whakaururua i te whenua, hei whakangaro atu hoki i reira i ona tangata hara.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Ko nga whetu hoki o te rangi, ko nga kahui whetu ano hoki o reira, kahore e homai i to ratou marama: ka pouri noa iho te ra i tona haerenga mai, kore ake hoki e titi te atarau.
11 And I will visit upon the world their evil, and upon the wicked their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the tyrants.
Ka whiua ano e ahau te ao mo to ratou kino, te hunga kino hoki, mo to ratou he; ka whakamutua hoki e ahau te whakapehapeha o te hunga whakakake, ka whakahokia iho ano ki raro te whakapehapeha o te hunga kino.
12 I will make man more rare than fine gold, even man than the pure gold of Ophir.
Ka meinga ano e ahau kia nui atu te utu mo te tangata i to te koura pai; ae ra, he tangata, kia nui atu i to te koura parakore o Opira.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of her place, for the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and for the day of His fierce anger.
Na reira ka meinga e ahau nga rangi kia wiri, ka ruperupea atu ano te whenua i tona wahi, he riri no Ihowa o nga mano, he ra ano e mura ai tona riri.
14 And it shall come to pass, that as the chased gazelle, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land.
A ka rite ki te anaterope e whaia ana, ki nga hipi kahore nei o ratou kaihuihui, ka tahuri ratou ki tona iwi, ki tona iwi, ka rere ki tona whenua, ki tona whenua.
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is caught shall fall by the sword.
Ko te hunga katoa e kitea ana, ka werohia; ko te hunga katoa e hopukia ana, ka hinga i te hoari.
16 Their babes also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
Ka taia iho hoki a ratou kohungahunga i ta ratou tirohanga; ka pahuatia o ratou whare, ka moea ano a ratou wahine.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
Tenei ahau te whakaoho atu nei i nga Meri ki a ratou, he hunga e kore nei e whakaaro ki te hiriwa; na, ko te koura, e kore e matenuitia e ratou.
18 And their bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
Ka taia iho ano hoki nga taitamariki e a ratou kopere, mongamonga noa; e kore ano e tohungia nga hua o te kopu; e kore o ratou kanohi e manawapa ki nga tamariki.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
A ko Papurona, ko te kororia o nga kingitanga, ko te mea ataahua whakahirahira a nga Karari, tera ia e rite ki ta te Atua hurihanga i Horoma, i Komora.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation; neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
E kore e nohoia a, ake ake, e kore e waiho hei kainga a, tena whakatupuranga, tena whakatupuranga; e kore ano e whakaturia e te Arapi tona teneti ki reira; e kore ano a reira e waiho e nga hepara hei takotoranga mo a ratou kahui.
21 But wild-cats shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of ferrets; and ostriches shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
Engari hei takotoranga a reira mo nga kuri mahoao o te koraha; ka ki hoki o ratou whare i nga kararehe pouri; a ka nohoia a reira e nga otereti, ka waiho hoki hei tupekepeketanga mo nga mea ahua koati.
22 And jackals shall howl in their castles, and wild-dogs in the pleasant palaces; and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
Ka tangi ano hoki nga wuruhi i roto i o ratou whare kingi, me nga kuri mahoao i roto i o ratou whare ataahua; kua tata mai hoki tona wa, e kore ano ona ra e roa.
