< Isaiah 62 >
1 For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
He whakaaro ki Hiona i kore ai ahau e noho hu, he whakaaro, ki Hiruharama te ata noho ai ahau, kia puta ra ano tona tika ano he tiahotanga, tona whakaoranga ano he rama e ka ana.
2 The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
A ka kite nga tauiwi i tou tika, nga kingi katoa i tou kororia; a he ingoa hou e whakahuatia ki a koe, he mea whakahua na te mangai o Ihowa.
3 You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Hei karauna ataahua ano koe i te ringa o Ihowa, hei potae kingi i te ringa o tou Atua.
4 And you shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.
E kore koe e kiia a muri ake nei, He mea whakarere; heoi ano kianga o tou whenua, He ururua; engari ka huaina koe, ko Hepetipa; tou whenua, ko Peura: no te mea ka ahuareka a Ihowa ki a koe, a ka whai tahu tou whenua.
5 For just as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
Kei te marenatanga hoki o te taitamariki ki te wahine te rite o te marenatanga o au tamariki ki a koe; kei te koa hoki o te tane marena hou ki te wahine marena hou te rite o te koa o tou Atua ki a koe.
6 I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never be silent, day or night. You who call on the LORD, take no rest,
Kua oti he kaitiaki te whakarite e ahau ki ou taiepa, e Hiruharama; e kore e kopia te mangai i te ao, i te po. E nga kaiwhakahua o to Ihowa ingoa, kei ata noho,
7 and give him no rest until he establishes and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Kaua hoki e whakamutua ta koutou ki a ia, kia whakapumautia ra ano a Hiruharama e ia, kia meinga ra ano hei whakamoemiti i runga i te whenua.
8 The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, "Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
Kua oatitia e Ihowa tona ringa matau, tona takakau kaha, E kore e hoatu e ahau tau witi a muri hei kai ma ou hoariri; e kore ano nga tangata ke e inu i tau waina i mauiui ai koe.
9 but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."
Engari ko nga tangata nana i whawhaki, ma ratou e kai, whakamoemiti tonu atu ki a Ihowa; a ko nga tangata nana i kohikohi mai, ka inumia e ratou ki nga marae o toku wahi tapu.
10 Go through the gates, prepare the way of the people. Build up, build up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up a banner for the peoples.
Tika atu, tika atu ma nga kuwaha; whakapaia te ara o te iwi; opehia ake, opehia ake te huanui; kohikohia atu nga kamaka; whakaarahia he kara ki nga iwi.
11 Look, the LORD has proclaimed to the remotest part of earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your salvation comes. Look, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.'"
Nana, kua korero a Ihowa ki te pito o te whenua, Mea atu ki te tamahine a Hiona, Nana, ko tou whakaoranga te haere mai nei! nana, kei a ia tona utu, kei tona aroaro ano tana mahi.
12 They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
A ka huaina ratou, Ko te iwi tapu, Ko ta Ihowa i hoko ai; ka huaina ano hoki koe, He mea i rapua, He pa kahore i mahue.
