Isaiah 3
1 For behold, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem and from Judah [Both] stay and staff: Every stay of bread and every stay of water;
No te mea tenei te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, te tango atu nei i Hiruharama, i a Hura, i te titoko me te tokotoko, i te titoko taro katoa, i te titoko wai katoa;
2 Mighty and man of war, judge and prophet, And diviner and elderly,
I te marohirohi, i te tangata whawhai; i te kaiwhakawa, i te poropiti, i te tohunga, i te tautahito;
3 Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, And counselor, and wise craftsmen, And discerning charmer.
I te rangatira rima tekau, i te tangata nui, i te kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, i te kaimahi mohio, i te mea matau ki te taki.
4 And I have made youths their heads, And sucklings rule over them.
Ka hoatu ano e ahau he tamariki hei rangatira mo ratou, he kohungahunga hoki hei kingi mo ratou.
5 And the people has exacted—man on man, Even a man on his neighbor, The youths enlarge themselves against the aged, And the lightly esteemed against the honored.
Ka tukinotia ano te iwi, tetahi e tetahi, te tangata e tona hoa tata; ka whakahihi hoki te tamariki ki te kaumatua, te mea e whakahaweatia ana ki te tangata e whakahonoretia ana.
6 When one lays hold on his brother, Of the house of his father, [by] the garment, “Come, you are a ruler to us, And this ruin [is] under your hand.”
E mau hoki te tangata ki tona tuakana, i te whare o tona papa, a ka mea, He kakahu tou, hei rangatira koe mo matou, a hei raro i tou ringa tenei whakatakanga:
7 He lifts up, in that day, saying, “I am not a binder up, And in my house is neither bread nor garment, You do not make me a ruler of the people.”
A taua ra ka karanga nui ia, ka mea, E kore ahau e pai hei kaiwhakaora; kahore hoki he taro i toku whare, kahore he kakahu: kaua ahau e meinga e koutou hei rangatira mo te iwi.
8 For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, For their tongue and their doings [are] against YHWH, To provoke the eyes of His glory.
Kua taka hoki a Hiurharama, kua hinga a Hura; kua whawhai nei hoki to ratou arero, me a ratou mahi, ki a Ihowa, whakapataritari ai i nga kanohi o tona kororia.
9 The appearance of their faces witnessed against them, And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, They have not hidden! Woe to their soul, For they have done evil to themselves.
Ko te titiro hoki a o ratou kanohi hei kaiwhakaatu mo to ratou he; e pera ana me Horoma e whakapuaki ana i o ratou hara, kahore e huna. Aue te mate mo to ratou wairua! ko ta ratou utu hoki ki a ratou ano, ko te kino.
10 Say to the righteous that [it is] good, Because they eat the fruit of their doings.
Mea atu ki te tangata tika, ko te pai mona: ka kainga hoki e ratou nga hua o a ratou mahi.
11 Woe to the wicked—evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.
Aue te mate mo te tangata kino! ko te he mona: ka riro hoki i a ia te utu o ta ona ringa.
12 My people—its exactors [are] sucklings, And women have ruled over it. My people—your eulogists are causing to err, And the way of your paths swallowed up.
Tena ko taku iwi, he tamariki o ratou kaitukino, he wahine hoki e kingi ana mo ratou. E taku iwi, ko ou kaiarahi kei te whakapohehe i a koe, kei te whakakahore hoki i te tikanga o ou huarahi.
13 YHWH has stood up to plead, And He is standing to judge the peoples.
E whakatika ake ana a Ihowa ki te tohe, e tu ana ia ki te whakawa i nga iwi.
14 YHWH enters into judgment With [the] elderly of His people, and its heads: “And you, you have consumed the vineyard, Plunder of the poor [is] in your houses.
Ka timata ta Ihowa whakawa i nga kaumatua o tana iwi, i ona rangatira ano hoki: Ko koutou nana i pau ai te mara waina; ko nga taonga a nga rawakore i pahuatia kei roto i o koutou whare:
15 Why? Why do you [do this]? You bruise My people, And you grind the faces of the poor.” A declaration of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, And YHWH says:
He aha ta koutou tikanga i kuru ai koutou i taku iwi, i orohina ai e koutou nga mata o nga rawakore? e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano.
16 “Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, And they walk stretching out the neck, And deceiving [with] the eyes, They go walking and mincing, And they make a jingling with their feet,
Na i mea ano a Ihowa, Na i te mea e whakapehapeha ana nga tamahine o Hiona, e haere ana me te uatoko o nga kaki, me te takataka o nga karu, ka whakameamea, me te tatangi ano nga waewae:
17 The Lord has also scabbed The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, And YHWH exposes their simplicity.
Mo reira ka whakangaua e te Ariki ki te patito te tumuaki o nga tamahine o Hiona, ka takoto kau ano hoki i a Ihowa o ratou wahi ngaro.
18 In that day the Lord turns aside The beauty of the jingling ornaments, And of the embroidered works, And of the crescents,
I taua ra ka kore i te Ariki te ataahua o nga mea tatangi o nga waewae, o nga whakapaipai ripekapeka, o nga heitiki;
19 Of the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils,
Nga mekameka, nga poroporo me nga arai kanohi,
20 Of the headdresses, and the ornaments of the legs, And of the bands, And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets,
Nga potae, nga whakapaipai o nga waewae, nga pakawe, nga pouaka hongihongi me nga whakakai,
21 Of the seals, and of the nose-rings,
Nga mowhiti, nga whakapaipai o te ihu,
22 Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, And of the coverings, and of the purses,
Nga kakahu whakapaipai, nga koroka, nga hooro me nga pukoro,
23 Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, And of the hoods, and of the veils,
Nga whakaata me te rinena pai, nga potae me nga arai whakapaipai.
24 And it has been, instead of spice is muck, And instead of a girdle, a rope, And instead of curled work, baldness, And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth.
Na he kakara pai i mua, tera e puta ake he piro; he whitiki, tuku iho he tawhetawhe; he koukou huatau, tau iho he pakira kau; he tatua whakapaipai, kopakina iho ki te kakahu taratara: he ataahua, hunuhunua ake.
25 For instead of glory, your men fall by sword, And your might in battle.
Ka hinga ou tangata i te hoari, ou marohirohi i te whawhaitanga.
26 And her openings have lamented and mourned, Indeed, she has been emptied, she sits on the earth!”
Ka tangi, ka aue ona kuwaha; a ka mokemoke ia, ka tau ki te whenua.
