Isaiah 51
1 Hearken to me, all of you that follow after righteousness, all of you that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence all of you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence all of you are dug.
Whakarongo ki ahau, e koutou e whai na i te tika, e rapu na i a Ihowa; titiro ki te kohatu i haua mai ai koutou, ki te poka i te rua i keria mai ai koutou.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
Titiro ki a Aperahama, ki to koutou matua, ki a Hera hoki i whanau ai koutou: he kotahi hoki ia, karangatia ana ia e ahau, manaakitia ana, whakanuia ana.
3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Ta te mea kua whakamarie a Ihowa i Hiona; kua whakamarie ia i ona wahi katoa ka ururuatia, kua mea hoki i tona wahi koraha kia rite ki Erene, i tona wahi titohea kia rite ki te kari a Ihowa; he koa, he hari, ka kitea i roto, he whakawhetai, me te reo hoki e waiata ana.
4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
Whakarongo ki ahau, e aku tangata, kia whai taringa ki ahau, e taku iwi: ka puta atu hoki he ture i roto i ahau, ka takoto ano i ahau taku whakawa hei whakamarama mo nga iwi.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
Kei te tata mai toku tika; kua puta taku whakaora, ma oku ringa e whakawa mo nga iwi: ka tatari ki ahau nga motu, ka okioki ki toku ringa.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Anga ake o koutou kanohi ki nga rangi, tirohia iho te whenua i raro; ka memeha atu hoki nga rangi, ano he paowa, ka tawhitotia te whenua, me he kakahu, ko te hunga hoki e noho ana i reira ka apena te mate: ko taku whakaoranga ia ka mau tonu: e ko re ano toku tika e heke.
7 Hearken unto me, all of you that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear all of you not the reproach of men, neither be all of you afraid of their revilings.
Whakarongo ki ahau, e koutou e mohio na ki te tika, e te hunga kei o koutou ngakau nei taku ture; kei wehi i te tawai a te tangata, kei numinumi i a ratou taunu.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
Ka kai hoki te purehurehu i a ratou, ano he kakahu, ka pau ratou, ano he huruhuru hipi i te huhu: ka mau tonu ia toku tika, taku whakaora ki nga whakapaparanga katoa.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are you not it that has cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
Maranga, maranga, kakahuria te kaha, e te ringa o Ihowa! maranga, kia rite ki nga ra o mua ra, ki nga whakatupuranga onamata. Ehara oti i a koe nana i kotikoti a Rahapa, i wero te tarakona?
10 Are you not it which has dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that has made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Ehara oti i a koe nana i whakamaroke te moana, nga wai o te rire nui? ko nga wai hohonu o te moana waiho ake e koe hei huarahi haerenga mo te hunga kua oti te hoko.
11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
Na, ko a Ihowa i hoko ai ka hoki mai, ka haere mai ki Hiona, me te waiata ano ratou: i runga i o ratou mahunga he hari e kore e mutu: ka whiwhi ratou ki te koa, ki te hari; a rere ana te pouri me te aue.
12 I, even I, am he that comforts you: who are you, that you should be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
Ko ahau, ina, maku koutou e whakamarie; ko wai koe, e wehi na i te tangata e matemate nei, i te tama a te tangata ka meinga nei hei tarutaru?
13 And forget the LORD your maker, that has stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and have feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
Ka wareware nei hoki ki a Ihowa, ki tou kaihanga, nana nga rangi i hora, nana i whakatakoto te turanga mo te whenua; ka pawera tonu koe i nga ra katoa i te riri o te kaiwhakawhiu, i te mea e anga mai ana ia ki te whakamate? a kei hea te riri o t e kaiwhakawhiu?
14 The captive exile hastens that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
Hohoro tonu te wetekina o te herehere i whakaraua; e kore hoki ia e mate, e heke ki te poka, e kore hoki e whakakorea he taro mana.
15 But I am the LORD your God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.
Ko Ihowa ia ahau, ko tou Atua, i whakakorikori nei i te moana, a hamama ana ona ngaru: ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa.
16 And I have put my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, You are my people.
A kua hoatu e ahau aku kupu ki tou mangai; kua hipokina koe ki te marumaru o toku ringa, kia whakatokia ai nga rangi, kia takoto ai te turanga mo te whenua, hei mea hoki ki Hiona, Ko koe taku iwi.
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; you have drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
Maranga, maranga, whakatika, e Hiruharama, i whakainumia nei e te ringa o Ihowa ki te kapu o tona riri: kua inu koe i nga nganga o te kapu wiri, he mea tatau nau.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any that takes her by the hand of all the sons that she has brought up.
Kohore kau tetahi hei tautiti i a ia o nga tama katoa i whanau i roto i a ia; kahore hoki tetahi o nga tama i atawhaitia e ia hei pupuri i tona ringa.
19 These two things are come unto you; who shall be sorry for you? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort you?
Ka rua enei mea ka pono nei ki a koe; ko wai hei tangi ki a koe ko te whakangaromanga, ko te wawahanga, ko te matekai, ko te hoari: me pehea taku whakamarie i a koe?
20 Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
Kua hemo au tama; e takoto ana i te ahunga mai o nga ara katoa, ano he anaterope i roto i te kupenga; ki tonu ratou i te riri o Ihowa, i te whakatupehupehu o tou Atua.
21 Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
Mo reira, whakarongo ki tenei, e koe kua tukinotia nei; e haurangi ana, raia, ehara i te haurangi waina.
22 Thus says your Lord the LORD, and your God that pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; you shall no more drink it again:
Ko te kupu tenei a tou Ariki, a Ihowa, ara a tou Atua, e tohe nei i ta tona iwi, Nana, ka tangohia e ahau te kapu wiri i tou ringa, nga nganga o te kapu o toku riri; e kore e inumia ano e koe a muri ake nei.
23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict you; which have said to your soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and you have laid your body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
A ka hoatu e ahau ki te ringa o te hunga e whakatupu kino nei i a koe, i mea ra ki tou wairua, Piko iho nei, kia haere atu ai matou; na kua whakatakotoria e koe tou tuara hei whenua, hei huarahi mo te hunga i haere atu ra.
