Isaiah 51
1 “Listen to Me, you pursuing righteousness, Seeking YHWH, Look attentively to the rock—you have been hewn, And to the hole of the pit—you have been 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 attentively to your father Abraham, And to Sarah—she brings you forth, For—one—I have called him, And I bless him, and multiply 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 YHWH has comforted Zion, He has comforted all her ruins, And He sets her wilderness as Eden, And her desert as a garden of YHWH, Joy, indeed, gladness is found in her, Confession, and the voice of song.
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 “Attend to Me, O My people, And, O My nation, give ear to Me. For a law goes out from Me, And My judgment to the light, I cause peoples to rest.
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 has gone out, And My arms judge peoples, Islands wait on Me, Indeed, on My arm they wait with hope.
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 attentively to the earth beneath, For the heavens have vanished as smoke, And the earth wears out as a garment, And its inhabitants die as gnats, And My salvation is for all time, And My righteousness is not broken.
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 Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, A people in whose heart [is] My law, Do not fear the reproach of men, And do not be frightened of their reviling,
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 a moth eats them as a garment, And a worm eats them as wool, And My righteousness is for all time, 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 YHWH, Awake, as [in] days of old, generations of the ages, Are You not it that is hewing down Rahab, Piercing a 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 that is drying up a sea, Waters of a great deep? That has made deep places of a sea A way for the passing of the redeemed?
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 And the ransomed of YHWH return, And they have come to Zion with singing, And continuous joy [is] on their head, They attain gladness and joy, Sorrow and sighing have fled 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 [am] He who comforts you, Who [are] you—and you are afraid of man? He dies! And of the son of man—he is made [like] 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 you forget YHWH your Maker, Who is stretching out the heavens, and founding earth, And you continually fear all the day, Because of the fury of the oppressor, As he has prepared 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 A wanderer has hurried to be loosed, And he does not die in the pit, And his bread is not lacking.
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 And I [am] your God YHWH, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, YHWH 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 put My words in your mouth, And have covered you with the shadow of My hand, To plant the heavens, and to found earth, And to say to 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 Stir yourself, stir yourself, rise, Jerusalem, You who have drunk from the hand of YHWH The cup of His fury, The goblet, the cup of trembling, you have drunk, You have wrung 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 not a leader to her Out of all the sons she has borne, And there is none laying hold on her hand Out of all the sons she has nourished.
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 are meeting you, Who is moved for you? Spoiling and destruction, famine and sword! By whom do 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 been wrapped up, they have lain down, At the head of all out places, as an antelope [in] a dragnet, They are full of the fury of YHWH, 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, please hear this, O afflicted and drunken one, and not with wine,
Mo reira, whakarongo ki tenei, e koe kua tukinotia nei; e haurangi ana, raia, ehara i te haurangi waina.
22 Thus said your Lord YHWH, and your God, He pleads [for] His people: “Behold, I have taken the cup of trembling out of your hand, The goblet, the cup of My fury, You do not add to drink it anymore.
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 And I have put it into the hand of those afflicting you, Who have said to your soul, Bow down, and we pass over, And you make your body as the earth, And as the street to those passing by!”
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.
