< Isaiah 11 >
1 A shoot will sprout from the stump of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.
A tera e puta ake he wana i te take i a Hehe, a ka whai hua tetahi peka e tupu ake i roto i ona pakiaka:
2 The Spirit of Yahweh will rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of instruction and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.
Ka noho hoki te wairua o Ihowa ki runga ki a ia, te wairua o te whakaaro nui, o te matauranga, te wairua o te whakatakoto whakaaro, o te kaha, te wairua o te mohio, o te wehi ki a Ihowa;
3 His delight will be the fear of the Lord; he will not judge by what his eyes see, nor decide by what his ears hear.
A, ko tana e ahuareka ai ko te wehi ki a Ihowa: e kore ano ia e whakawa i runga i ta ona kanohi e kite ai, e kore ano e whakaaro ki ta ona taringa e rongo ai, ina riria e ia te he.
4 Instead, he will judge the poor with righteousness and decide fairly for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.
Engari ka whakawa ia mo nga rawakore i runga i te tika; i runga ano i te tika tona riri i te he, he whakaaro nona ki te hunga mahaki o te whenua; he whiu na tona mangai tana patu mo te whenua, ka whakamatea ano e ia te tangata kino ki te manawa o ona ngutu.
5 Righteousness will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his hips.
A hei whitiki te tika mo tona hope, hei whitiki ano te pono mo ona whatumanawa.
6 The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, the calf, the young lion and the fattened calf, together. A little child will lead them.
Ka noho tahi ano te wuruhi raua ko te reme, ka takoto tahi te reparo raua ko te kuao koati; ko te kuao kau, ko te kuao raiona, ko te mea momona, kotahi ano ropu; a ma te tamaiti iti ratou e arahi.
7 The cow and the bear will graze together, and their young will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.
A ka kai te kau raua ko te pea; ka takoto tahi ano hoki a raua kuao: a ka rite te raiona ki te kau, ka kai i te kakau witi.
8 A baby will play over the hole of the snake, and the weaned child will put his hand on the serpent's den.
Ka takaro hoki te tamaiti ngote u i runga i te rua o te ahipi, a ka pa atu te ringa o te tamaiti kua whakamutua te kai u ki te nohoanga o te neke.
9 They will not hurt nor destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.
E kore ratou e tukino, e kore ano e whakamate puta noa i toku maunga tapu: no te mea ka kapi te whenua i te matauranga ki a Ihowa, ano ko nga wai e taupoko nei i te moana.
10 On that day, the root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek him out, and his resting place will be glorious.
Na i taua ra ko tetahi pakiaka o Hehe, ka tu hei kara ki nga iwi, ka rapua mai e nga tauiwi; ko tona okiokinga hoki, kororia rawa.
11 On that day, the Lord will again extend his hand to recover the remnant of his people who remain in Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the islands of the sea.
I taua ra ka anga ano te ringa o te Ariki, a ka tuaruatia te whakahoki mai o nga morehu o tana iwi e mahue i Ahiria, i Ihipa, i Patoro, i Kuhu, i Erama, i Hinara, i Hamata, i nga motu ano o te moana.
12 He will set up a banner for the nations and will gather the outcasts of Israel and the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
Ka whakaturia ano e ia he kara ki nga iwi, a ka huihuia mai te hunga o Iharaira i peia atu, ka whakaminea mai ano nga mea o Hura i marara atu, i nga pito e wha o te whenua.
13 He will turn aside the envy of Ephraim, and hostilities of Judah will be cut off. Ephraim will not envy Judah, and Judah will no longer be hostile to Ephraim.
Ka haere atu hoki te hae o Eparaima, ka hatepea atu ano hoki nga hoariri o Hura: e kore a Eparaima e hae ki a Hura, e kore ano a Hura e whakatoi ki a Eparaima.
14 Instead they will swoop down on the Philistine hills on the west, and together they will plunder the people of the east. They will attack Edom and Moab, and the people of Ammon will obey them.
Engari ka rere iho ratou i runga i te pokohiwi o nga Pirihitini i te taha ki te hauauru, ka pahuatia ngatahitia e ratou te hunga o te rawhiti; ka pa o ratou ringa ki runga ki a Eroma raua ko Moapa; ka whakarongo hoki nga tama a Amona ki a ratou.
15 Yahweh will completely destroy the gulf of the Sea of Egypt. With his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River and will divide it into seven streams, so it can be crossed over in sandals.
A ka whakangaromia rawatia e Ihowa te arero o te moana i Ihipa; a he hau hunuhunu tana e ruru ai i tona ringa ki runga ki te awa, e patu ai kia whitu ona rerenga, a ka meinga nga tangata kia whiti maroke noa atu.
16 There will be a highway for the remnant of his people that return from Assyria, as there was for Israel in their coming up from the land of Egypt.
A ka takoto he ara haerenga mai i Ahiria mo nga morehu o tana iwi ka mahue; ka rite ano ki to Iharaira i te ra i haere mai ai ia i te whenua o Ihipa.
