Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
Ka riro ki te kore te tangata tika, a kahore e maharatia iho e te ngakau o tetahi tangata: e tangohia atu ano hoki te hunga tohu tangata; te mahara tetahi, e tangohia atu ana te tangata tika kei kite i te he.
2 He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
Ka haere ia ki te rangimarie, ka okioki ratou ki o ratou takotoranga, ka haere tena, tena, i runga i tona whakaaro tapatahi.
3 "But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute.
Ko koutou ia, awhi mai ki konei, e nga tama a te wahine makutu, e nga uri o te tangata puremu, o te wahine kairau.
4 Against whom are you mocking? Against whom do you make a wide mouth, and stick out your tongue? Aren't you children of rebellion, offspring of liars,
He takaro ta koutou ki a wai? ki a wai te hamama nui o o koutou mangai, te whetero roa o te arero? He teka ianei he whanau koutou na te poka ke, he uri no te teka,
5 you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
Koutou, e tahu na i o koutou hiahia i waenga i nga oki, i raro i nga rakau kouru nui katoa; e patu na i nga tamariki i nga awaawa, i raro i nga pari kohatu?
6 Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion; they, they are your lot; you have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
Kei nga kohatu maeneene o te awa tou whai; ko ena, ko ena te rota i a koe; ringihia ana e koe he ringihanga ki ena, whakaekea atu ana he whakahere. E marie ranei ahau ki ena?
7 On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed; there also you went up to offer sacrifice.
I runga i te maunga tiketike, aua noa atu ki runga, i hanga e koe tou takotoranga, piki ai ki reira ki te mea patunga tapu.
8 Behind the doors and the posts you have set up your memorial: for you have uncovered to someone besides me, and have gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them: you loved their bed where you saw it.
Kua oti ano tou whakamahara te whakatu e koe ki tua i te tatau, i nga pou: kua hura hoki koe i a koe ki tetahi atu, ehara i ahau, kua piki ki runga; kei te whakanui i tou takotoranga, whakaritea ana e koe he kawenata ki a ratou; i matenuitia ano e koe to ratou takotoranga i te wahi i kite ai koe.
9 You went to the king with oil, and increased your perfumes, and sent your ambassadors far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
I haere atu ano koe ki te kingi, mea rawa ki te hinu, whakanuia ana e koe au hinu whakaranu; unga ana e koe au karere ki tawhiti, whakaititia ana koe e koe ano ki raro rawa ki te reinga. (Sheol h7585)
10 You were wearied with the length of your way; yet you did not say, 'It is in vain.' You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren't faint.
Mauiui ana koe i te roa o tou ara; otiia kahore koe i mea, Kahore he manakohanga, Kua kitea e koe e nui haere ana tou kaha; koia koe te ruha ai.
11 "Of whom have you been afraid and in fear, that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven't I held my peace even of long time, and you do not fear me?
I pawera koe, i wehi i a wai, i teka ai koe, i kore ai e mahara ki ahau, i kore ai tou ngakau e mea mai? kihai ianei ahau i whakarongo puku he wa roa i mua ra ano, na kahore ou wehi ki ahau?
12 I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they shall not profit you.
Maku e whakaatu tou tika; tena ko au mahi, e kore koe e whai pai i ena.
13 When you cry, let those who you have gathered deliver you; but the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he who takes refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain."
Ka tangi koe, ma ou huihui koe e whakaora; otiia ka kahakina ratou e te hau, ka riro katoa atu i te nga: ko te tangata ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki ahau, mona te whenua, ka riro hoki i a ia toku maunga tapu;
14 He will say, "Build up, build up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people."
Ka ki ano ia, Opehia ake, opehia ake, whakapaia te ara, hapainga atu te tutukitanga waewae i te ara o taku iwi.
15 For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Mea tiketike o runga rawa, ko tona kainga nei kei nga wa onamata, ko tona ingoa ko Tapu; ko te wahi e noho nei ahau kei te tiketike, kei te tapu, i te tangata he maru rawa tona ngakau, he papaku, hei whakahauora i te w airua o te hunga papaku, hei whakahauora i te ngakau o nga mea kua maru.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls who I have made.
E kore hoki ahau e whawhai a ake ake, e kore ano e mau tonu toku riri: pena ka pehia rawatia te wairua i toku aroaro, me nga manawa i hanga e ahau.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I angry, and struck him; I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
He he no tona apo taonga i riri ai ahau, i patu ai i a ia; i huna ahau i toku mata, i riri, a haere kotiti ke ana ia i runga i te ara o tona ngakau.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
Kua kite ahau i ona ara, ka rongoatia ano ia e ahau: ka arahi ano ahau i a ia, ka whakahoki ano i nga whakamarietanga ki a ia, ki ona tangata ano hoki e tangi ana.
19 I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near," says the LORD; "and I will heal him."
Ko ahau te kaihanga o nga hua o nga ngutu; Ka mau, ka mau te rongo ki te hunga i tawhiti, ki te hunga i tata, e ai ta Ihowa; maku ano ia e rongoa.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can't rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
Ko te hunga kino ia rite tonu ki te moana ngarungaru; e kore e marino, heoi kei te aia ake e ona wai te puehu, te paru.
21 "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."
Kahore he maunga rongo ki te hunga kino, e ai ta toku Atua.
