Isaiah 27
1 In that day YHWH lays a charge, With His sword—the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan—a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan—a crooked serpent, And He has slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
I taua ra ka patua e Ihowa ki tana hoari maro, hoari nui, hoari kaha a Rewiatana, te nakahi tere, a Rewiatana, te nakahi korohape; ka tukitukia hoki e ia te tarakona i te moana.
2 In that day respond to her, “A desirable vineyard,
I taua ra: He mara waina, waiata atu koutou ki reira.
3 I, YHWH, am its keeper, I water it every moment, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
Ko ahau, ko Ihowa hei tiaki i a ia; hono tonu taku whakamakuku; ka tiakina e ahau i te po, i te ao, kei tukinotia.
4 Fury is not in Me; Who gives Me a brier—a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
Kahore he riri i roto i ahau. He kore noa no nga tataramoa, no nga tumatkauru hei whawhai mai ki ahau! Penei kua haere tonu atu ahau ki runga ki a ratou, tahuna ngatahitia ake e ahau.
5 Or—he takes hold on My strength, [That] he makes peace with Me, [And] he makes peace with Me.”
Kia hopukia mai ranei e ia toku kaha, kia houhia ai te rongo ki ahau; ae ra, kia houhia ano tana rongo ki ahau.
6 He causes those coming in to take root, Jacob blossoms, and Israel has flourished, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
A nga ra e haere mai nei ka whai pakiaka nga uri o Hakopa; ka whai puawai, ka kopuku a Iharaira: a ka kapi i a ratou te mata o te ao katoa i te hua.
7 Has He struck him as the striking of his striker? Does He slay as the slaying of his slain?
I rite ranei tana patu i a ia ki tana patunga i ona kaipatu? i rite ranei tona whakamatenga ki te whakamatenga o ana i whakamate ai?
8 In measure, in sending it forth, you strive with it, He has taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind,
He mea mehua tau ngangare ki a ia i tona tukunga atu e koe; kawhakina ana ia e ia ki tana hau pakaha i te ra o te marangai.
9 Therefore the iniquity of Jacob is covered by this, And this [is] all the fruit—To take away his sin, In his setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They do not rise—Asherim and images.
Na ko tenei hei muru i te he o Hakopa; ko nga hua katoa enei o te tahinga i tona hara; kia meinga e ia nga kohatu katoa o te aata kia rite ki te kohatu taioma, kurukuru rawa, a kore ake nga Aherimi me nga whakapakoko e ara ake ake.
10 For the fortified city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There the calf delights, And there it lies down, And has consumed its branches.
Kei te mokemoke hoki te pa taiepa, he kainga mahue, he mea whakarere, he pera i te koraha: kai ana te kuao kau i reira, takoto ana i reira, pau ake i a ia ona manga.
11 In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in [and] setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore its Maker does not pity it, And its Former does not favor it.
Ka memenge ona peka, ka whatiia atu: ka haere mai nga wahine, tahuna ana e ratou ki te ahi; ehara hoki ia i te iwi e whai mahara ana: no reira e kore ratou e tohungia e to ratou kaihanga, e kore ano to ratou kaiwhakaahua e aroha ki a ratou.
12 And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH beats out from the branch of the river, To the stream of Egypt, And you are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
I taua ra ka taia nga hua e Ihowa i te waipuke o te awa, a tae noa ki te awa o Ihipa, a ka kohikohia takitahitia koutou, e nga tama a Iharaira.
13 And it has come to pass in that day, It is blown with a great horn, And those perishing in the land of Asshur have come in, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to YHWH, In the holy mountain—in Jerusalem!
I taua ra ka whakatangihia he tetere nui; a ka haere mai te hunga i tata te ngaro i te whenua o Ahiria, me te hunga i te whenua o Ihipa i peia atu; a ka koropiko ratou ki a Ihowa ki te maunga tapu, ki Hiurharama.
