< Isaiah 1 >

1 [the] vision of Isaiah [the] son of Amoz which he saw on Judah and Jerusalem in [the] days of Uzziah Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah [the] kings of Judah.
Ko te kite a Ihaia, a te tama a Amoho, i kite ai ia mo Hura, mo Hiruharama, i nga ra o nga kingi o Hura, o Utia, o Iotama, o Ahata, o Hetekia.
2 Hear O heavens and give ear O earth for Yahweh he has spoken children I have brought up and I have raised and they they have rebelled against me.
Whakarongo, e nga rangi, kia whai taringa ano, e te whenua, kua korero hoki a Ihowa: Kua atawhai tamariki ahau, kua whakatupu hoki, na kua tahuri mai ratou ki ahau.
3 It knows an ox owner its and a donkey [the] feeding trough of owner its Israel not it knows people my not it considers carefully.
E mohio ana te kau ki tona ariki, te kaihe ki te takotoranga kai a tona rangatira: ko Iharaira ia kahore e mohio, kahore taku iwi e whakaaro.
4 Woe to! - a nation [which] sins a people heavy of iniquity of spring [who] do evil children [who] behave corruptly they have forsaken Yahweh they have spurned [the] holy [one] of Israel they have become estranged back part.
Aue, e te iwi hara, he hunga taimaha i te kino, he uri no nga kaimahi i te he, he tamariki whakangau ke: kua whakarerea e ratou a Ihowa, kua whakahawea ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, kua tangata ke ratou a kua hoki whakamuri.
5 Concerning what? will you be struck again will you increase? rebellion all [the] head [is] for sickness and all [the] heart [is] faint.
Kia patua tonutia hoki koutou hei aha, i tutu tonu ai koutou? kei te mate katoa te mahunga, kei te ruhi katoa hoki te ngakau.
6 From [the] sole of [the] foot and to [the] head there not in it [is] soundness bruise[s] and welt[s] and wound[s] fresh not they have been pressed out and not they have been bound up and not it has been softened with oil.
Kahore ona wahi ora, ake i te kapu o tona waewae a tae noa ki te mahunga; he kaiakiko kau, he karawarawa, he whiunga kua pirau: kihai ena i romia, kihai i takaia, kihai ano hoki i whakangawaritia ki te hinu.
7 Land your [is] a desolation cities your [have been] burned fire ground your to before you strangers [are] devouring it and desolation [is] like [the] overthrow of strangers.
Ko to koutou whenua kua ururuatia; ko o koutou pa kua wera i te ahi; he tangata ke kei te kai i to koutou oneone i to koutou aroaro, ururua ana, koia ano kei ta te tangata ke raupatutanga.
8 And she has been left [the] daughter of Zion like a shelter in a vineyard like a watchman's hut in a cucumber field like a city besieged.
A ka mahue iho te tamahine a Hiona, ano he tihokahoka i te mara waina, ano he wharau i te mara kukamo, he pa e whakapaea ana.
9 If not Yahweh of hosts he had left to us survivor[s] like a little like Sodom we were Gomorrah we were like.
Me i kahore a Ihowa o nga mano te waiho i tetahi toenga nohinohi rawa nei ki a tatou, kua pera tatou me Horoma, kua rite tatou ki Komora.
10 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O rulers of Sodom give ear to [the] instruction of God our O people of Gomorrah.
Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e nga rangatira o Horoma; kia whai taringa mai, e te iwi o Komora, ki te ture a to tatou Atua.
11 Why? to me [the] multitude of sacrifices your he says Yahweh I have been surfeited burnt offerings of rams and [the] fat of fatlings and [the] blood of bulls and lambs and goats not I am pleased.
Hei aha maku a koutou patunga maha? e ai ta Ihowa: kua makona ahau i nga tahunga o nga tinana o nga hipi toa, i te ngako o nga kararehe whangai; kahore hoki aku manakohanga atu ki te toto o nga puru, o nga reme, o nga koati toa ranei.
12 If you come to present yourselves presence my who? did he require this from hand your to trample courts my.
Ka haere mai koutou, ka whakakite mai ki toku aroaro, ko wai i ki atu ki tenei mea a o koutou ringa, kia takahia oku marae?
13 Not you must repeat to bring an offering of worthlessness incense [is] an abomination it to me new moon and sabbath [the] calling of convocation[s] not I am able to endure wickedness and solemn assembli[es].
Kati te mau mai i nga whakahere horihori: he mea whakarihariha ki ahau te whakakakara; te kowhititanga marama, te hapati, te karangatanga o nga whakaminenga, e kore ahau e manawanui ki te kino, ki te huihui nui.
14 New moons your and appointed feasts your it hates self my they have become on me a burden I am weary to bear [them].
Ko a koutou kowhititanga marama, ko a koutou hakari whakarite, e kino ana toku ngakau: he mea porearea ki ahau; he hanga whakahoha.
15 And when spread out you hands your I will hide eyes my from you also for you will multiply prayer not I [will be] hearing hands your blood they are full.
Na ka wherahia mai o koutou ringa, ka huna e ahau oku kanohi ki a koutou; ae ra, ka whakanuia e koutou te inoi e kore ahau e rongo, kapi tonu o koutou ringa i te toto.
16 Wash cleanse yourselves remove [the] wickedness of deeds your from before eyes my cease to do evil.
Horoi i a koutou, kia ma; whakarerea atu te kino o a koutou hanga i mua i oku kanohi; kati te mahi i te kino;
17 learn To do good seek justice set right [the] oppressor vindicate [the] fatherless conduct a case for [the] widow.
Akona te mahi pai; rapua te whakawa; whakatikaia ta te tangata e tukinotia ana; whakawakia ta te pani; tohea ta te pouaru.
18 Come please so let us argue our case together he says Yahweh though they are sins your like scarlet like snow they will become white though they are red like crimson like wool they will be.
Tena ra, tatou ka korerorero, e ai ta Ihowa; ahakoa i rite o koutou hara ki te mea ngangana, ka pera me te hukarere te ma; ahakoa i whero me te mea whakawhero, ka rite ki te huruhuru hipi.
19 If you will be willing and you will obey [the] good thing[s] of the land you will eat.
Ki te mea ka pai koutou, a ka rongo, ka kai koutou i nga mea pai o te whenua;
20 And if you will refuse and you will rebel [the] sword you will be eaten for [the] mouth of Yahweh it has spoken.
Ki te whakakahore koutou, a ka tutu, ka pau koutou i te hoari; kua korero hoki te mangai o Ihowa.
21 How! it has become a prostitute a town faithful full of justice righteousness it lodged in it and now murderers.
Aue! tona kairautanga o te pa pono! i ki nei ia i te whakawa! he nohoanga no te tika, inaianei ia no nga kaikohuru.
22 Silver your it has become dross drink your [has been] mixed with water.
Ko tau hiriwa kua meinga hei para, ko tau waina, kua whakaranua ki te wai.
23 Leaders your [are] rebels and companions of thieves all of it [is] loving a bribe and [is] pursuing rewards [the] fatherless not they vindicate and [the] lawsuit of a widow not it comes to them.
Ko ou rangatira kei te whakakeke, a he hoa ratou no te hunga tahae; e whakapai ana ratou ki te moni whakapati, e whai ana i te utu; kahore ratou e whakawa ana mo te pani, a kahore te tohe a te pouaru e tae ana ki a ratou.
24 Therefore [the] utterance of the lord Yahweh of hosts [the] mighty one of Israel woe! I will ease myself from foes my and I will avenge myself from enemies my.
No reira ka mea te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, te Mea Nui o Iharaira, Na! ka whai mamatanga ahau i oku hoariri, ka whai utu ahau i oku hoariri:
25 And I will turn hand my on you so I may refine like potash dross your and I will remove all slag your.
Ka tahuri atu hoki toku ringa ki a koe, a ka tahia rawatia tou para, ka wehea katoatia atu ano tou tine:
26 And I will restore judges your as at the former [time] and counselors your as at the beginning after thus it will be called to you [the] city of righteousness a town faithful.
A ka whakahokia mai e ahau ou kaiwhakawa kia rite ki o mua, me ou kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, kia rite ki o te timatanga; muri iho ka kiia koe, Ko te pa o te tika, ko te pa piripono.
27 Zion with justice it will be redeemed and repentant [ones] its with righteousness.
Ka hokona a Hiona i runga i te whakawa, ana tangata hoki, e tahuri mai ana, i runga i te tika.
28 And a crushing of rebels and sinners together and [those who] forsake Yahweh they will come to an end.
Ka huihuia ia kia kotahi tonu te whakangaromanga o te hunga poka ke, o te hunga hara, a ka whakamotitia te hunga e whakarere ana i a Ihowa.
29 For they will be ashamed from [the] oaks which you have desired and you may be abashed from the gardens which you have chosen.
Ka whakama hoki ratou i nga oki i matenuitia e koutou, numinumi kau koutou i nga kari i whiriwhiria e koutou.
30 For you will be like an oak [which is] withering leafage its and like a garden which water not [belongs] to it.
Ka rite hoki koutou ki te oki kua memenge ona rau, ki te kari ano hoki kahore nei ona wai.
31 And he will become the strong [person] tow and work his a spark and they will burn both of them together and there not [will be one who] extinguishes.
A hei muka te mea kaha, hei korakora ano tana mahi; na ka ngiha ngatahi raua, kahore hoki he tangata hei tinei.
