Isaiah 34
1 Come near, you nations, to hear. Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear; the world, and everything that comes from it.
Whakatata mai, e nga iwi, kia rongo ai, kia whai taringa mai, e nga iwi: kia rongo te whenua, me nga mea e hua ana i runga, te ao, me nga mea katoa e puta ana i roto i a ia.
2 For Jehovah is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.
Kei runga hoki i nga iwi katoa te riri o Ihowa, tona weriweri kei runga i o ratou ope katoa: ngaro rawa i a ia, tukua ana kia patua.
3 Their slain will also be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies will come up; and the mountains will melt in their blood.
Ka akiritia atu ano o ratou tupapaku i patua, ka puta ake hoki te piro o o ratou tinana, a ka rewa nga maunga i o ratou toto.
4 And all the host of heaven will rot away, and the heavens will be rolled up like a scroll. And all their host will wither, as a leaf withering from the vine, and as leaves withering from the fig tree.
Na ka memeha nga ope katoa o te rangi, ko nga rangi, koia ano kei te pukapuka i pokaia; ko o ratou ope katoa ka whakangaro haere, koia ano kei te rau waina ka marere nei, kei te rau piki e marere ana i runga i te rakau piki.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky. Look, it will come down on Edom, and on the people of my curse, for judgment.
Kua inu hoki taku hoari, makona ana, i te rangi: nana, ka tae iho ki a Eroma, ki te iwi i kanga e ahau, ki te whakarite whakawa.
6 Jehovah's sword is filled with blood. It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah has a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Ki tonu te hoari a Ihowa i te toto; kua momona i te ngako, i te toto o nga reme, o nga koati, i te ngako o nga whatukuhu o nga hipi toa; he patunga tapu hoki ta Ihowa i Potora, he parekura nui i te whenua o Eroma.
7 The wild oxen will come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; and their land will be soaked with blood, and their dust made greasy with fat.
A ka haere tahi mai i roto i a ratou nga kau maka, nga kau okiha ratou ko nga puru; a ka haurangi to ratou whenua i te toto, ka momona to ratou puehu i te ngako.
8 For Jehovah has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
Ko te ra hoki ia o ta Ihowa rapu utu, ko te tau whakautu mo ta Hiona totohe.
9 Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into sulfur, And its land will become burning pitch.
A ka puta ke ona awa hei kapia, ko tona puehu hei whanariki; na, ko tona whenua, he kapia e ka ana!
10 It won't be quenched night nor day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.
E kore e tineia i te po, i te ao; ka kake tona paowa ake ake: i tera whakatupuranga, i tera whakatupuranga ka takoto he ururua kau; e kore tetahi tangata e tika na reira a ake tonu atu.
11 But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.
Ka riro ano a reira hei kainga mo te kawau, mo te matuku; ka noho ano te ruru raua ko te raweni ki reira, ka whakamarokia ano hoki e ia te taura o te pororaru ki runga, me te kohatu whakatika o te kore noa iho.
12 They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.
Ka karangatia ona rangatira kia whakakingitia, kahore tetahi e tae mai; a ka kore noa iho ona rangatira katoa.
13 Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.
A ka tupu te tataramoa ki ona whare kingi, he ongaonga, he tumatakuru ki ona pa kaha, a ka waiho hei nohoanga mo te kirehe mohoao, hei marae mo te oteriti.
14 And the wildcats will meet with the hyenas, and the wild goat will cry to his fellow. There too, nocturnal animals shall settle, and shall find themselves a place of rest.
Ko nga kuri mohoao o te koraha ka tutaki ki nga wuruhi, ka karanga te mea ahua koati ki tona hoa; ka takoto ano te ngarara haere po ki reira, ka kitea he okiokinga mona ki reira.
15 The owl will make her nest there, and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade. Yes, the vultures will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
Ka hanga ano e te ruru nui tona kohanga ki reira, whanau iho, pao iho nga hua, whakamine ano ki raro i tona taumarumarunga iho: ka huihui ano ki reira nga whatura, ratou ko tana tane, ko tana tane.
16 Search in the scroll of Jehovah, and read: not one of these will be missing. None will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.
Rapua i roto i ta Ihowa pukapuka, korerotia hoki; e kore tetahi o enei e ngaro, e kore tetahi o enei e hapa i te tane mana; na toku mangai nei hoki te whakahau, ko tona wairua ano to ratou kaiwhakamine.
17 He has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
Nana hoki i maka te rota mo ta ratou, na tona ringa ano i wehewehe taua wahi mo ratou, mea rawa ki te aho: hei kainga a reira mo ratou a ake ake, ka nohoia a reira e ratou i tena whakatupuranga, i tena whakatupuranga.
