Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth [it] to heart: and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
Ka riro ki te kore te tangata tika, a kahore e maharatia iho e te ngakau o tetahi tangata: e tangohia atu ano hoki te hunga tohu tangata; te mahara tetahi, e tangohia atu ana te tangata tika kei kite i te he.
2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.
Ka haere ia ki te rangimarie, ka okioki ratou ki o ratou takotoranga, ka haere tena, tena, i runga i tona whakaaro tapatahi.
3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the lewd.
Ko koutou ia, awhi mai ki konei, e nga tama a te wahine makutu, e nga uri o te tangata puremu, o te wahine kairau.
4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, [and] thrust out the tongue? [are] ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
He takaro ta koutou ki a wai? ki a wai te hamama nui o o koutou mangai, te whetero roa o te arero? He teka ianei he whanau koutou na te poka ke, he uri no te teka,
5 Inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the cliffs of the rocks?
Koutou, e tahu na i o koutou hiahia i waenga i nga oki, i raro i nga rakau kouru nui katoa; e patu na i nga tamariki i nga awaawa, i raro i nga pari kohatu?
6 Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] thy portion; they, they [are] thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink-offering, thou hast offered a meat-offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
Kei nga kohatu maeneene o te awa tou whai; ko ena, ko ena te rota i a koe; ringihia ana e koe he ringihanga ki ena, whakaekea atu ana he whakahere. E marie ranei ahau ki ena?
7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither thou wentest up to offer sacrifice.
I runga i te maunga tiketike, aua noa atu ki runga, i hanga e koe tou takotoranga, piki ai ki reira ki te mea patunga tapu.
8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast uncovered [thyself to another] than me, and hast gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest [it].
Kua oti ano tou whakamahara te whakatu e koe ki tua i te tatau, i nga pou: kua hura hoki koe i a koe ki tetahi atu, ehara i ahau, kua piki ki runga; kei te whakanui i tou takotoranga, whakaritea ana e koe he kawenata ki a ratou; i matenuitia ano e koe to ratou takotoranga i te wahi i kite ai koe.
9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase [thyself even] to hell. (Sheol h7585)
I haere atu ano koe ki te kingi, mea rawa ki te hinu, whakanuia ana e koe au hinu whakaranu; unga ana e koe au karere ki tawhiti, whakaititia ana koe e koe ano ki raro rawa ki te reinga. (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; [yet] saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thy hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
Mauiui ana koe i te roa o tou ara; otiia kahore koe i mea, Kahore he manakohanga, Kua kitea e koe e nui haere ana tou kaha; koia koe te ruha ai.
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid [it] to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
I pawera koe, i wehi i a wai, i teka ai koe, i kore ai e mahara ki ahau, i kore ai tou ngakau e mea mai? kihai ianei ahau i whakarongo puku he wa roa i mua ra ano, na kahore ou wehi ki ahau?
12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
Maku e whakaatu tou tika; tena ko au mahi, e kore koe e whai pai i ena.
13 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take [them]: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
Ka tangi koe, ma ou huihui koe e whakaora; otiia ka kahakina ratou e te hau, ka riro katoa atu i te nga: ko te tangata ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki ahau, mona te whenua, ka riro hoki i a ia toku maunga tapu;
14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.
Ka ki ano ia, Opehia ake, opehia ake, whakapaia te ara, hapainga atu te tutukitanga waewae i te ara o taku iwi.
15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Mea tiketike o runga rawa, ko tona kainga nei kei nga wa onamata, ko tona ingoa ko Tapu; ko te wahi e noho nei ahau kei te tiketike, kei te tapu, i te tangata he maru rawa tona ngakau, he papaku, hei whakahauora i te w airua o te hunga papaku, hei whakahauora i te ngakau o nga mea kua maru.
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit would fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.
E kore hoki ahau e whawhai a ake ake, e kore ano e mau tonu toku riri: pena ka pehia rawatia te wairua i toku aroaro, me nga manawa i hanga e ahau.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
He he no tona apo taonga i riri ai ahau, i patu ai i a ia; i huna ahau i toku mata, i riri, a haere kotiti ke ana ia i runga i te ara o tona ngakau.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
Kua kite ahau i ona ara, ka rongoatia ano ia e ahau: ka arahi ano ahau i a ia, ka whakahoki ano i nga whakamarietanga ki a ia, ki ona tangata ano hoki e tangi ana.
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him that is] far off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
Ko ahau te kaihanga o nga hua o nga ngutu; Ka mau, ka mau te rongo ki te hunga i tawhiti, ki te hunga i tata, e ai ta Ihowa; maku ano ia e rongoa.
20 But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
Ko te hunga kino ia rite tonu ki te moana ngarungaru; e kore e marino, heoi kei te aia ake e ona wai te puehu, te paru.
21 [There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
Kahore he maunga rongo ki te hunga kino, e ai ta toku Atua.
