Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou hast wholly gone up to the housetops?
Ko te poropititanga mo te raorao o te whakakitenga. He aha ra nou, i piki katoa ai koe ki nga tuanui?
2 Thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
E koe, e ki tonu nei koe i te nge, he pa turituri, he pa koa: ko ou tangata i patua ehara i te mea patu na te hoari, ehara i te hunga i mate i te whawhai.
3 All thy rulers have fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, who have fled from far.
Rere ngatahi ana ou rangatira katoa, herea ana ratou e nga kaikopere, te hunga katoa i kitea i roto i a koe, herea ngatahitia ana ratou, te hunga i rere mai i tawhiti.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.
Koia ahau i mea ai, Kati te titiro ki ahau, ka nui toku tangi; kaua e tohe ki te whakamarie i ahau mo te pahuatanga o te tamahine a toku iwi.
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
He ra hoki tenei no te raruraru, no te takahanga, no te pokaikaha, he mea na te Ariki, na Ihowa o nga mano, i te raorao o te whakakitenga; he pakaruhanga i nga taiepa, he karangatanga ki nga maunga.
6 And Elam bore the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
Ko ta Erama, he mau i te papa pere, me nga hariata tangata me nga kaieke hoiho; ko ta Kiri he whakaputa mai i te whakangungu rakau ki waho.
7 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
Na kapi ana ou raorao whakapaipai i te hariata, tu ana nga rarangi o nga kaieke hoiho ki te kuwaha.
8 And he uncovered the coverings of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
Na mauria atu ana e ia te hipoki o Hura; a ka titiro koe i taua ra ki nga patu i roto i te whare o te ngahere.
9 Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
A ka kite koutou i nga pakaru o te pa o Rawiri, he maha; ka huia hoki e koutou nga wai o te poka o raro.
10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.
A taua ana e koutou nga whare o Hiruharama; wawahia ana e koutou nga whare hei hanga mo te taiepa.
11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked to its maker, neither had respect to him that fashioned it long ago.
Ka hanga ano e koutou he awa ki waenganui i nga taiepa e rua mo nga wai o te poka tawhito; kahore ia o koutou whakaaro ki te kaimahi o tena mea, kahore hoki e titiro ki tona kaihanga o mua noa atu.
12 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
Heoi ko te karangatanga a te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, i taua ra ki te tangi, ki te aue, ki te moremore, ki te whitiki i te kakahu taratara:
13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
Na ko te koa, ko te hari, ko te patu kau, ko te patu hipi, ko te kai kikokiko, ko te inu waina; kia kai tatou, kia inu; apopo hoki tatou mate ai.
14 And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Na ka whakaatu a Ihowa o nga mano ki oku taringa, He pono, e kore rawa tenei he o koutou e murua, a mate noa koutou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano.
15 Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, Haere mai, haere ki tenei kaitiaki o nga moni, ki a Hepena, ki te rangatira o te whare, mea atu,
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that cut out an habitation for himself in a rock?
He aha tau i konei? ko wai hoki tau i konei, i haua ai e koe he tanumanga mou ki konei? e hahau ana koa he tanumanga mona i te wahi tiketike, e tarai ana he nohoanga mona ki te kamaka!
17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.
Nana, ka maka kinotia atu koe e Ihowa, ka peratia i ta te tangata kaha; ae ra, ka kopakina rawatia koe e ia.
18 With violence he will surely turn and toss thee like a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’s house.
He pono ka tahuri ia, ka whiua koe, ano he mea porotaka ki tetahi whenua nui: hei reira koe mate ai, ki reira ano hoki nga hariata o tou kororia, e koe, e te whakama o te whare o tou ariki.
19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.
Ka peia atu hoki koe e ahau i tou turanga, ka turakina iho ano koe e ia i tou wahi.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
I taua ra ka karangatia e ahau taku pononga, e Eriakimi tama a Hirikia.
21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy belt, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
Ka whakakahuria ano ia e ahau ki tou kakahu, ka whakakahangia hoki ki tou whitiki, ka hoatu ano tou kawanatanga ki tona ringa: a hei matua ia ki nga tangata o Hiruharama, ki te whare ano o Hura.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Ka waiho ano e ahau te ki o te whare o Rawiri ki runga ki tona pokohiwi; na mana e whakatuwhera, a kahore he tangata hei tutaki, mana e tutaki a kahore he tangata hei whakatuwhera.
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
Ka titia hoki ia e ahau ano he titi ki te wahi mau, a hei torona kororia ia ki te whare o tona papa.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
Ka whakarihia ano e ratou ki runga ki a ia te kororia katoa o te whare o tona papa, nga uri, nga whanau, nga oko ririki katoa, ara nga oko hei peihana, me nga oko katoa ano hei haka.
25 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka taui te titi i titia nei ki te wahi mau, ka tapahia, ka marere ki raro; ka motuhia atu ano te mea e iri ana i runga: na Ihowa hoki te kupu.
