Isaiah 55
1 Alas! O every thirsty [one] come to the waters and [one] who not [belongs] to him money come buy grain and eat and come buy grain with not money and with not price wine and milk.
E! e nga tangata katoa e matewai ana, haere mai ki nga wai! me te tangata kahore ana moni; haere mai, hokona, kainga! Haere mai, hokona he waina, he waiu; kaua he moni, kaua he utu.
2 Why? do you weigh out money for not bread and toil your for not to satiety listen steadfastly to me and eat good thing[s] so it may take delight in fatness appetite your.
He aha ra i hokona ai e koutou te moni mo nga mea ehara i te taro, to koutou uaua mo nga mea e kore ai koutou e makona? ata whakarongo mai ki ahau, a kainga te mea pai; kia ora hoki o koutou wairua i nga mea momona.
3 Incline ear your and come to me listen so may it live self your and I will make to you a covenant of perpetuity [the] covenant loyalti of David reliable.
Tahuri mai o koutou taringa, haere mai ki ahau; whakarongo mai, a ka ora o koutou wairua, a maku e whakarite ki a koutou he kawenata mau tonu, ara nga atawhainga pono i a Rawiri.
4 Here! a witness of peoples I made him a leader and a commander of peoples.
Nana, kua waiho ia e ahau hei kaiwhakaatu ki nga iwi, hei rangatira, hei kaiwhakahau mo nga tauiwi.
5 There! a nation [which] not you know you will call and a nation [which] not they have known you to you they will run on account of Yahweh God your and to [the] holy [one] of Israel for he has glorified you.
Nana, ka karanga koe i te iwi kihai i mohiotia e koe; ka rere mai ano ki a koe nga iwi kahore i mohio ki a koe; mo Ihowa hoki, mo tou Atua, mo te Mea Tapu o Iharaira; nana hoki koe i whakanui.
6 Seek Yahweh when he lets be found himself call on him when is he near.
Rapua a Ihowa, kei kitea ana ia: karangatia atu, kei tata ana mai ia.
7 Let him forsake a wicked [person] way his and a person of wickedness thoughts his and let him return to Yahweh so he may have compassion on him and to God our for he will increase to forgive.
Kia whakarere te tangata kino i tona ara, te tangata mahi he i ona whakaaro; kia hoki ki a Ihowa, a ka aroha ia ki a ia; ki to tatou Atua hoki, he nui rawa hoki tana mahi tohu.
8 For not thoughts my [are] thoughts your and not [are] ways your ways my [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Ehara hoki oku whakaaro i o koutou whakaaro, o koutou hurarahi i oku huarahi, e ai ta Ihowa.
9 For they are high [the] heavens more than [the] earth so they are high ways my more than ways your and thoughts my more than thoughts your.
Ta te mea e ikeike ake ana te rangi i te whenua, waihoki ko oku huarahi e ikeike ake ana i o koutou huarahi, ko oku whakaaro i o koutou whakaaro.
10 For just as it comes down the rain and the snow from the heavens and there towards not it returns that except it has given water to the earth and it has caused to bring forth it and it has made sprout it and it has given seed to the sower and bread to the eater.
Ka rite hoki ki te ua raua ko te hukarere e rere iho ana i te rangi, a e kore e hoki ki reira; engari e whakamakuku ana i te whenua, e mea ana kia whai hua, kia pihi ake, kia homai ano he purapura ma te kaiwhakato, he taro ma te tangata e kai an a:
11 Thus it is word my which it goes forth from mouth my not it will return to me in vain that except it has done [that] which I desired and it has prospered [that] which I sent it.
Ka pena ano taku kupu e puta ana i toku mangai: e kore e hoki kau, mai ki ahau; engari ka meatia taku i pai ai, ka taea hoki taku i unga atu ai.
12 For in joy you will go out and in peace you will be led! the mountains and the hills they will break forth before you a shout of joy and all [the] trees of the field they will clap a palm.
Ta te mea ka haere atu koutou me te hari ano, ka arahina i runga i te rangimarie; ka pakaru mai te waiata a nga maunga, a nga pukepuke, i to koutou aroaro, a ka papaki ringa nga rakau katoa o te whenua.
13 In place of the thornbush it will grow up a cypress (and in place of *Q(K)*) the nettle it will grow up a myrtle tree and it will become for Yahweh a name a sign of perpetuity [which] not it will be cut down.
He tataramoa i mua, ka puta ake he kauri; he tumatakuru i mua, ka puta ake he ramarama: a ka waiho hei ingoa ki a Ihowa, hei tohu mo a mua tonu atu, e kore e motuhia.
