Isaiah 32
1 Look, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice.
Nana, ka kingi te kingi i runga i te tika, ka whakahaere tikanga ano nga rangatira i runga i te whakawa.
2 Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a land of weariness.
A ka ai he tangata hei kuhunga ina pa te hau, hei piringa kei mate i te tupuhi; ka rite ki nga awa wai i te wahi maroke, ki te ata o te kohatu nui i te whenua ngaunga ra.
3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will hear attentively.
Na e kore e atarua nga kanohi o te hunga kite; ka whakarongo ano te hunga i te taringa rongo.
4 The rash will think carefully with understanding, and the stutterer will speak distinctly and with ease.
Ka matauria ano te matauranga e te ngakau o te hunga ponana, a ka hohoro te arero o nga reo kikiki ki te korero marama.
5 The fool will no longer be called honorable, nor the deceiver called principled.
E kore te wairangi e kiia i muri he ohaoha, e kore ano te kaiponu e kiia he atawhai.
6 For the fool speaks folly, and his heart plans evil and godless actions, and he speaks wrongly against Yahweh. He makes the hungry empty, and the thirsty he causes to lack drink.
Ka korero hoki te tangata nanakia i te nanakia, a ka mahi tona ngakau i te kino, kia whakahawea ai ki te tapu, kia puta ke ai tana korero ki a Ihowa, kia noho tahanga ai i a ia te wairua o te tangata matekai, kia moti ai hoki he wai mo te tangata matewai.
7 The deceiver's methods are evil. He devises wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lies, even when the poor say what is right.
He kino hoki nga hanga a te kaiponu: e whakatakotoria ana e ia he whakaaro kino, he korero teka e he ai te hunga iti, ahakoa e tika ana ano nga korero a te rawakore.
8 But the honorable man makes honorable plans; and because of his honorable actions he will stand.
He ohaoha ia nga tikanga a te ohaoha; a ka u ia ki nga mahi ohaoha.
9 Rise up, you women who are at ease, and listen to my voice; you carefree daughters, listen to me.
Whakatika e nga wahine e noho pai ana, whakarongo ki toku reo: e nga tamahine whakaarokore, kia whai taringa ki aku kupu.
10 For in a little more than a year your confidence will be broken, you carefree women, for the grape harvest will fail, the ingathering will not come.
He maha nga ra i tua atu i te tau e raruraru ai koutou, e nga wahine maharakore: no te mea ka kore te whakinga waina, e kore hoki e tae mai te kohikohinga.
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease; be troubled, you confident ones; take off your fine clothes and make yourselves bare; put on sackcloth around your waists.
E wiri, e nga wahine e noho humarie ana; pokaikaha noa iho, e te hunga maharakore; whakarerea nga kakahu, noho tahanga, whitikiria he kakahu taratara ki o koutou hope.
12 You will wail for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines.
Ka papaki ratou ki nga uma mo nga mara ataahua, mo te waina hua.
13 The land of my people will be overgrown with thorns and briers, even in all the once joyful houses in the city of revelry.
Ka puta ake te tataramoa me te tumatakuru ki te oneone o taku iwi, ina, ki runga ki nga whare koa katoa o te pa hari:
14 For the palace will be forsaken, the crowded city will be deserted; the hill and the watchtower will become caves forever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
No te mea ka mahue te whare kingi, ka whakarerea te pa tokomaha: ko te puke me te pourewa ka waiho hei ana a ake ake, hei mea e koa ai nga kaihe mohoao, hei wahi kai ma nga kahui;
15 until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered as a forest.
Kia ringihia mai ra ano i runga te wairua ki a tatou, kia meinga ra ano te koraha hei mara whai hua, kia kiia ano te mara whai hua he ngahere.
16 Then justice will reside in the wilderness; and righteousness will live in the fruitful field.
Ko reira te whakawa noho ai ki te koraha, a hei kainga te mara hua mo te tika.
17 The work of righteousness will be peace; and the result of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
A ko te mahi a te tika he rongo mau; ko te whakaotinga o te tika he ata noho, he ngakau u a ake ake.
18 My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in secure homes, and in quiet resting places.
Ka noho hoki taku iwi ki te nohoanga o te rongo mau, ki nga kainga e u ai te ngakau, ki nga okiokinga humarie.
19 But even if it hails and the forest is destroyed, and the city is completely annihilated,
Ka tarere iho ia te whatu i te hinganga o te ngahere; a ka whakahoroa rawatia te pa ki raro.
20 you who sow beside all the streams will be blessed, you who send out your ox and donkey to graze.
Ano te hari o koutou, o te hunga e whakato ana ki te taha o nga wai katoa, e tuku atu ana i nga waewae o te kau, o te kaihe.
