< Isaiah 61 >

1 [the] spirit of [the] Lord Yahweh [is] on me because he has anointed Yahweh me to bear news humble [people] he has sent me to bind up [people] broken of heart to proclaim to captives liberty and to prisoners re-lease.
Kei runga i ahau te wairua o te Ariki, o Ihowa; na Ihowa nei hoki ahau i whakawahi hei kauwhau i te rongo pai ki te hunga mahaki; kua unga mai ahau e ia ki te takai i te hunga ngakau maru, ki te kauwhau ki nga whakarau kia haere noa, ki nga hereh ere, kua tuwhera te whareherehere;
2 To proclaim a year of favor of Yahweh and a day of vengeance of God our to comfort all mourners.
Kia karangatia te tau manako mai o Ihowa, te ra rapu utu o to tatou Atua; kia whakamarietia te hunga katoa e tangi ana:
3 To put - to [the] mourners of Zion to give to them a turban in place of ash[es] oil of joy in place of mourning a mantle of praise in place of a spirit faint and it will be called to them [the] oaks of righteousness [the] planting of Yahweh to glorify himself.
Kia whakatakotoria he tikanga mo te hunga katoa o Hiona e tangi ana, kia whakaputaia ketia o ratou pungarehu hei ataahua, te tangihanga hei hinu koa, te wairua pouri hei kakahu whakamoemiti; a ka kiia ratou he rakau na te tika, he mea whakato na Ihowa, kia whai kororia ai ia.
4 And they will rebuild [the] ruins of antiquity [the] desolate [places] former they will raise up and they will renew [the] cities of devastation [the] desolate [places] of a generation and a generation.
Ka hanga ano e ratou nga wahi kua ururuatia noatia ake, ka ara i a ratou nga wahi kua kore rawa i mua, ka whakahoutia e ratou nga pa kua ururuatia, nga mea kua kore i era whakatupuranga noa atu.
5 And they will stand strangers and they will shepherd flock[s] your and sons of foreignness [will be] farmers your and vinedressers your.
A ka tu te tangata ke, ka whangai i a koutou hipi, ko nga tama ano a te tangata ke hei kaiparau ma koutou, hei kaitiaki waina ma koutou.
6 And you priests of Yahweh you will be called [the] servants of God our it will be said of you [the] wealth of nations you will consume and in abundance their you will boast.
Ko koutou ia ka kiia ko nga tohunga a Ihowa, ka kiia koutou ko nga minita a to tatou Atua: ko nga taonga o nga tauiwi hei kai ma koutou, ko to ratou kororia hei whakamanamana ma koutou.
7 In place of shame your double and ignominy they will shout for joy portion their therefore in land their double they will possess joy of perpetuity it will belong to them.
Mo to koutou whakama e rua nga whakautu; mo te numinumi kau ka koa ratou ki ta ratou wahi: ae ra, i to ratou whenua ka haere rua mai nga mea ma ratou, ka mau tonu hoki to ratou koa.
8 For I Yahweh [am] loving justice [I am] hating robbery with injustice and I will give recompense their in faithfulness and a covenant of perpetuity I will make to them.
E aroha ana hoki ahau, a Ihowa, ki te whakawa, e kino ana ki te pahua, ki te whakahaere he; ka hoatu ano e ahau i runga i te pono ta ratou i mahi ai, ka whakaritea he kawenata mau tonu ki a ratou.
9 And it will be known among the nations offspring their and descendants their in among the peoples all [those who] see them they will recognize them that they [are] offspring [whom] he has blessed Yahweh.
Ka matauria ano to ratou uri i roto i nga tauiwi, o ratou whanau i roto i nga iwi: ko te hunga katoa e kite ana i a ratou ka mohio ki a ratou he uri no ta Ihowa i manaaki ai.
10 Certainly I will rejoice in Yahweh it may be glad self my in God my for he has clothed me garments of salvation a robe of righteousness he has covered me like bridegroom [who] he acts like a priest a turban and like bride [who] she adorns herself ornaments her.
Ka nui toku koa ki a Ihowa, ka whakamanamana toku wairua ki toku Atua; kua whakakakahuria hoki ahau e ia ki nga kakahu o te whakaoranga, ropia mai ana e ia te tika ki ahau hei koroka; ka rite ki ta te tane marena hou e kopare nei i te whakapaipa i ki a ia, ki ta te wahine marena hou whakapaipai i a ia ki ana mea whakapaipai.
11 For like the ground [which] it brings forth growth its and like a garden [which] things sown in it it makes grow so - [the] Lord Yahweh he will make grow righteousness and praise before all the nations.
Ka rite hoki ki ta te whenua e mea nei i tona tupu kia kokiri ake, ki ta te kari e mea nei i nga mea kua whakatokia ki reira kia tupu, ka pena ano ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ka meinga e ia te tika me te whakamoemiti kia tupu ki te aroaro o nga iwi k atoa.
