Isaiah 62
1 For Zion’s sake, will I not hold my peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake, will I not rest, —Until her righteousness, go forth as brightness, And her salvation, as a torch that is lighted.
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 So shall nations see thy righteousness, And all kings, thy glory; And thou shalt be called by a new name, which, the mouth of Yahweh, will 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 Then shalt thou become—A crown of adorning, in the hand of Yahweh, and A royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Hei karauna ataahua ano koe i te ringa o Ihowa, hei potae kingi i te ringa o tou Atua.
4 Thou shalt he termed no longer—Forsaken Nor shall thy land be termed any longer A desolation, But, thou, shalt be called Hephzibah ["My delight is in her"], And, thy land, Beulah ["married"], —For Yahweh hath found delight in thee, And thy 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 a young man marrieth, a virgin, Thy sons marry thee! And the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride—Thy God, rejoiceth over thee.
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 Upon thy walls O Jerusalem, have I appointed watchmen, All the day and all the night through, let them not hold their peace, —O ye that put Yahweh in mind, Do not take rest to yourselves,
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 Neither give rest, unto him, Until he establish and until he set forth Jerusalem as 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 Sworn hath Yahweh—By his own right hand, and By his own strong arm, —Surely I will give thy corn no more, as food to thine enemies, Nor shall the sons of the foreigner drink thy new wine, for which thou hast toiled;
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 they who have garnered it, shall eat it, and praise Yahweh, —And they who have gathered in its clusters, shall drink it in my holy courts.
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 Pass ye through pass ye through the gates, Prepare ye the way of the people, —Cast ye up, cast ye up the highway, Clear it of stones, Lift ye high a standard unto 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 Lo! Yahweh, hath sent a message unto the end of the earth: Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy Salvation, is coming, —Lo! 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 So shall men call them—The holy people The redeemed of Yahweh, —And, thou, shalt 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.
