< Isaiah 63 >
1 Who is this that cometh from Edom? In scarlet garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, Proud in the greatness of his strength? I that proclaim deliverance, And am mighty to save.
Ko wai tenei e haere mai nei i Eroma, he mea rongoa mai nga kakahu i Potora? tenei he kororia rawa nei ona kakahu, e haere ana i runga i te nui o tona kaha? Ko ahau e korero atu nei i runga i te tika, ko te mea kaha ki te whakaora.
2 Wherefore is thine apparel red, And thy garments like those of one that treadeth the wine-vat?
He aha i whero ai ou kakahu? i rite ai ou weweru ki o te kaitakahi i te takahanga waina?
3 I have trodden the wine-vat alone, And of the nations there was none with me. And I trod them in mine anger, And I trampled them in my fury, So that their life-blood was sprinkled upon my garments. And I have stained all my apparel.
Na toku kotahi te takahanga waina i takahi, kahore hoki he tangata o te iwi hei hoa moku: takahia iho ratou e ahau, he riri noku; takatakahia ana ratou e ahau ki raro, i ahau e weriweri ana; pati ana o ratou toto ki oku weruweru, whakapokea iho e ahau toku kakahu katoa.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, And the year of my deliverance was come.
Kei roto hoki i toku ngakau te ra o te rapu utu; kua tae mai ano te tau o aku i hoko ai.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help, And I wondered, that there was none to uphold; Therefore my own arm wrought salvation for me, And my fury, it sustained me.
Na ka titiro atu ahau, a kahore he kaiawhina, miharo ana ahau no te mea kahore he kaitautoko ake: na kua meatia e toku takakau, he whakaoranga moku; ko toku weriweri, na tera ahau i tautoko ake.
6 I trod down the nations in my anger; I crushed them in my fury, And spilled their blood upon the ground.
Na takahia ana e ahau nga iwi i ahau e riri nei; i ahau ano e weriweri ana ka whakahaurangitia ratou e ahau, a ringihia ana e ahau to ratou toto ki te whenua.
7 I will celebrate the mercy of Jehovah, the glory of Jehovah, According to all that he hath done for us; His great goodness to the house of Israel, Which he hath bestowed on it in his tender mercy, and his great kindness.
Ka whakahuatia e ahau nga mahi aroha a Ihowa, nga whakamoemiti ki e Ihowa, ka rite ki nga mea i homai e Ihowa, ki a tatou; ki te nui hoki o te pai ki te whare o Iharaira i homai nei e ia ki a ratou; he mea i rite tonu ki ana mahi tohu tangata, ki te nui ano o ana mahi aroha.
8 He said, Truly they are my people; Children that will not be false; So he was their deliverer.
I mea hoki ia, He pono, ko taku iwi ratou, he tamariki e kore e korero teka: na ko ia to ratou kaiwhakaora.
9 In all their straits they had no distress; An angel of his presence saved them; In his love and compassion he redeemed them, He took them up and bore them all the days of old.
I o ratou pouritanga ngakau katoa i pouri ano ia, a whakaorangia ake ratou e te anahera o tona aroaro; he aroha nona, he mahi tohu tangata i hoko ai ia i a ratou, hikitia ana ratou, whakahaereerea ana i nga ra katoa onamata.
10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy spirit; Then did he change himself into their enemy; He himself fought against them.
Heoi whakakeke ana ratou, whakapouritia iho e ratou tona wairua tapu. Na ka puta ke ia hei hoariri mo ratou; kei te whawhai ano ia ki a ratou.
11 Then remembered his people the ancient days, the days of Moses, [[saying, ]] Where is he that brought them up from the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he that put his holy spirit within him?
Katahi ia ka mahara ki nga ra o mua, ki a Mohi, ki tana iwi, i mea ia, Kei hea ia nana ratou i kawe ake i te moana me nga hepara o tana kahuri? kei hea te kaiwhakanoho o tona wairua tapu ki waenganui i a ratou?
12 That caused his glorious arm to accompany the right hand of Moses, That divided the water before them, To make to himself an everlasting name?
I arahi nei i a ratou, he meatanga na te ringa matau o Mohi, na tona takakau kororia? i wahi nei i nga wai i to ratou aroaro, hei mea i tetahi ingoa mona e mau tonu ana?
13 That led them through the deep, As a horse through a desert, without stumbling?
I arahi nei i a ratou i waenganui o te moana, ano he hoiho i te koraha, te hinga ratou?
14 As the herd descendeth into the valley, The spirit of Jehovah led them to rest. So didst thou lead thy people, To make for thyself a glorious name.
Kei te kararehe e haere ana ki raro ki te awaawa te rite, pera tonu ta te wairua o Ihowa meatanga i a ratou kia okioki: pera tonu tau arahanga i tau iwi, i whai ingoa kororia ai koe.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from thy holy and glorious habitation! Where is thy zeal and thy might? Thy pity and compassion for me, are they restrained?
Titiro mai i runga i te rangi, matakitaki mai i runga i te nohoanga o tou tapu, o tou kororia; kei hea tou ngakau nui, me au mahi nunui? ko te ohoohonga o ou whekau, ko au mahi tohu ka pehia iho ki ahau.
16 Thou, surely, art our father; Abraham is ignorant of us, And Israel knoweth us not. Thou, O Jehovah, art our father; Our deliverer wast thou of old.
He pono ko koe to matou papa, kahore nei hoki a Aperahama e mohio ki a matou, kahore ano hoki a Iharaira e mahara ki a matou: ko koe, e Ihowa, to matou papa; ko to matou kaihoko, nonamata mai tou ingoa.
17 Why, O Jehovah, dost thou suffer us to wander from thy ways, And harden our hearts against thy fear? Return, for thy servants' sake, The tribes of thine inheritance!
He aha koe, e Ihowa, i mea ai i a matou kia kotiti atu i au ara, whakapakeketia iho e koe o matou ngakau kia kaua e wehi ki a koe? Hoki mai, kia mahara ki au pononga, ki nga hapu o tou kainga pumau.
18 But a little while did thy holy people possess the land; Then our enemies trampled upon thy sanctuary.
He iti nei te wa i mau ai taua kainga ki te iwi o tou tapu: e takatakahia ana tou wahi tapu e o matou hoariri.
19 It has been with us as if thou hadst never ruled over us, As if we had not been called by thy name.
Kua meinga matou kia rite ki te hunga kihai nei koe i kingi mo ratou; ki te hunga kihai nei i huaina ki tou ingoa.
