Isaiah 3
1 For, behold, the Lord, GOD of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
No te mea tenei te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, te tango atu nei i Hiruharama, i a Hura, i te titoko me te tokotoko, i te titoko taro katoa, i te titoko wai katoa;
2 the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
I te marohirohi, i te tangata whawhai; i te kaiwhakawa, i te poropiti, i te tohunga, i te tautahito;
3 the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
I te rangatira rima tekau, i te tangata nui, i te kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, i te kaimahi mohio, i te mea matau ki te taki.
4 I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.
Ka hoatu ano e ahau he tamariki hei rangatira mo ratou, he kohungahunga hoki hei kingi mo ratou.
5 The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the wicked against the honorable.
Ka tukinotia ano te iwi, tetahi e tetahi, te tangata e tona hoa tata; ka whakahihi hoki te tamariki ki te kaumatua, te mea e whakahaweatia ana ki te tangata e whakahonoretia ana.
6 Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”
E mau hoki te tangata ki tona tuakana, i te whare o tona papa, a ka mea, He kakahu tou, hei rangatira koe mo matou, a hei raro i tou ringa tenei whakatakanga:
7 In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.”
A taua ra ka karanga nui ia, ka mea, E kore ahau e pai hei kaiwhakaora; kahore hoki he taro i toku whare, kahore he kakahu: kaua ahau e meinga e koutou hei rangatira mo te iwi.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Kua taka hoki a Hiurharama, kua hinga a Hura; kua whawhai nei hoki to ratou arero, me a ratou mahi, ki a Ihowa, whakapataritari ai i nga kanohi o tona kororia.
9 The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
Ko te titiro hoki a o ratou kanohi hei kaiwhakaatu mo to ratou he; e pera ana me Horoma e whakapuaki ana i o ratou hara, kahore e huna. Aue te mate mo to ratou wairua! ko ta ratou utu hoki ki a ratou ano, ko te kino.
10 Tell the righteous that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
Mea atu ki te tangata tika, ko te pai mona: ka kainga hoki e ratou nga hua o a ratou mahi.
11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them, for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.
Aue te mate mo te tangata kino! ko te he mona: ka riro hoki i a ia te utu o ta ona ringa.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
Tena ko taku iwi, he tamariki o ratou kaitukino, he wahine hoki e kingi ana mo ratou. E taku iwi, ko ou kaiarahi kei te whakapohehe i a koe, kei te whakakahore hoki i te tikanga o ou huarahi.
13 The LORD stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
E whakatika ake ana a Ihowa ki te tohe, e tu ana ia ki te whakawa i nga iwi.
14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
Ka timata ta Ihowa whakawa i nga kaumatua o tana iwi, i ona rangatira ano hoki: Ko koutou nana i pau ai te mara waina; ko nga taonga a nga rawakore i pahuatia kei roto i o koutou whare:
15 What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, GOD of Armies.
He aha ta koutou tikanga i kuru ai koutou i taku iwi, i orohina ai e koutou nga mata o nga rawakore? e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano.
16 Moreover the LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking daintily as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
Na i mea ano a Ihowa, Na i te mea e whakapehapeha ana nga tamahine o Hiona, e haere ana me te uatoko o nga kaki, me te takataka o nga karu, ka whakameamea, me te tatangi ano nga waewae:
17 therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and the LORD will make their scalps bald.”
Mo reira ka whakangaua e te Ariki ki te patito te tumuaki o nga tamahine o Hiona, ka takoto kau ano hoki i a Ihowa o ratou wahi ngaro.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
I taua ra ka kore i te Ariki te ataahua o nga mea tatangi o nga waewae, o nga whakapaipai ripekapeka, o nga heitiki;
19 the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
Nga mekameka, nga poroporo me nga arai kanohi,
20 the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,
Nga potae, nga whakapaipai o nga waewae, nga pakawe, nga pouaka hongihongi me nga whakakai,
21 the signet rings, the nose rings,
Nga mowhiti, nga whakapaipai o te ihu,
22 the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
Nga kakahu whakapaipai, nga koroka, nga hooro me nga pukoro,
23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
Nga whakaata me te rinena pai, nga potae me nga arai whakapaipai.
24 It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
Na he kakara pai i mua, tera e puta ake he piro; he whitiki, tuku iho he tawhetawhe; he koukou huatau, tau iho he pakira kau; he tatua whakapaipai, kopakina iho ki te kakahu taratara: he ataahua, hunuhunua ake.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
Ka hinga ou tangata i te hoari, ou marohirohi i te whawhaitanga.
26 Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
Ka tangi, ka aue ona kuwaha; a ka mokemoke ia, ka tau ki te whenua.
