Isaiah 2
1 The things that Isaiah son of Amoz perceived in a vision, concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Ko te kupu i kitea e Ihaia tama a Amoho mo Hura raua ko Hiurharama.
2 It will be in the last days that the mountain of Yahweh's house will be established as the highest of the mountains, and it will be raised up above the hills, and all the nations will flow to it.
Na tenei ake, kei nga ra whakamutunga, ka whakapumautia te maunga i to Ihowa whare ki te tihi o nga maunga, ka whakanekehia ake ano ki runga i nga pukepuke; a ka rere nga iwi katoa ki reira.
3 Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob, so he may teach us some of his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion will go the law, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
Ka haere hoki nga iwi maha, ka mea, Haere mai, tatou ka haere ki runga ki te maunga o Ihowa, ki te whare o te Atua o Hakopa: ka whakaakona tatou e ia ki ana ara; ka haere hoki tatou i ana huarahi; no te mea ka puta mai te ture i Hiona, me te kupu a Ihowa i Hiruharama.
4 He will judge between the nations and will render decisions for many peoples; they will hammer their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any longer.
Ka whakarite hoki ia i nga whakawa a nga iwi, ka riria ano e ia nga iwi maha: na ka patupatua e ratou a ratou hoari hei hea parau, a ratou tao hei mea tapahi manga; e kore tetahi iwi e hapai hoari ki tetahi iwi, mutu pu ta ratou ako ki te whawhai.
5 House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
E te whare o Hakopa, haere mai, tena tatou ka haere i to Ihowa marama.
6 For you have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east and they practice divination like the Philistines, and they shake hands with sons of foreigners.
Kua whakarerea nei e koe tau iwi, te whare o Hakopa, no te mea kei te ki ratou i nga tikanga mai no te rawhiti, a he tohunga maori ratou, he pera me nga Pirihitini, e papaki ringa ana hoki ratou me nga tamariki a rau o iwi.
7 Their land is full of silver and gold, and is there no limit to their wealth; their land also is full of horses, nor is there limit to their chariots.
Ki tonu hoki to ratou whenua i te hiriwa, i te koura, a kahore he mutunga o o ratou taonga: kapi tonu hoki to ratou whenua i te hoiho, a kahore he mutunga o a ratou hariata.
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the craftsmanship of their own hands, things that their own fingers have made.
Ko to ratou whenua ki tonu i te whakapakoko; e koropiko ana ratou ki te mahi a o ratou ringa, ki ta o ratou maihao i hanga ai.
9 The people will be bowed down, and individuals will fall down; therefore do not raise them up.
A e whakapikoa ana te tangata ware, e whakaititia ana te tangata nui; mo reira kaua ratou e tohungia.
10 Go into the rocky places and hide in the ground from the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty.
E tomo ki roto ki te kamaka, e huna ki roto ki te puehu, i te wehi ki a Ihowa, i te kororia o tona nui.
11 The lofty gaze of man will be brought low, and the pride of men will be brought down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
Ka whakaititia nga kanohi whakapehapeha o te tangata, ka whakapikoa iho ano hoki te whakakae o nga tangata, a ko Ihowa anake e whakanuia i taua ra.
12 For there will be a day of Yahweh of hosts against everyone who is proud and raised up, and against everyone who is arrogant—and he will be brought down—
No te mea ka tae iho he ra no Ihowa o nga mano ki te hunga whakapehapeha, ki te hunga whakakae katoa, ki te hunga katoa kua neke ake; a ka whakaititia iho:
13 and against all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, and against all the oaks of Bashan.
Ki nga hita katoa ano o Repanona kua tiketike, kua neke ake, ki nga oki katoa ano o Pahana;
14 That day of Yahweh of hosts will be against all the high mountains, and against all the hills that are lifted up,
Ki nga maunga tiketike katoa, ki nga pukepuke katoa kua purero ki runga:
15 and against every high tower, and against every impregnable wall,
Ki nga pourewa tiketike katoa, ki nga taiepa kaha katoa ano hoki,
16 and against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all beautiful sailing vessels.
Ki nga kaipuke katoa o Tarahihi, ki nga whakaahua katoa e minaminatia ana.
17 The pride of man will be brought low, and the haughtiness of men will fall; Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
A e whakapikoa iho to te tangata whakapehapeha, e whakaititia iho ana ano hoki te whakakake o nga tangata, ko Ihowa anake e whakanuia i taua ra.
18 The idols will completely pass away.
A ka ngaro whakarere nga whakapakoko,
19 Men will go into the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
A ka haere nga tangata ki nga ana o nga kamaka, ki nga rua o te whenua, i te wehi ki a Ihowa, i te kororia o tona nui, ina whakatika ia ki te rure kaha i te whenua.
20 On that day people will throw away their idols of silver and of gold that they have made for themselves to worship—they will throw them away to the moles and bats.
A taua ra ka akiritia atu e te tangata ana whakapakoko hiriwa me ana whakapakoko koura i hanga e ratou hei koropikotanga mana, ki nga kiore, ki nga pekapeka;
21 The people will go into the crevices in the rocks and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
Haere ai ki nga ana o nga kohatu, ki nga kapiti o nga kamaka, i te wehi ki a Ihowa, i te kororia o tona nui, ina whakatika ia ki te rurerure i te whenua.
22 Stop trusting in man, whose life-breath is in his nostrils, for what does he amount to?
Kati ta koutou mea ki te tangata kei ona pongaponga nei tona manawa; kia pehea hoki te whakaaro ki a ia?
