Isaiah 22

1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What — to thee, now, that thou hast gone up, All of thee — to the roofs?

Ko te poropititanga mo te raorao o te whakakitenga. He aha ra nou, i piki katoa ai koe ki nga tuanui?

2 Full of stirs — a noisy city — an exulting city, Thy pierced are not pierced of 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 fled together from the bow, Bound have been all found of thee, They have been kept bound together, Afar off they have fled.

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 I said, 'Look ye from me, I am bitter in my weeping, Haste not to comfort me, For the destruction 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 a day of noise, and of treading down, And of perplexity, [is] to the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In the valley of vision, digging down a wall, And crying unto the mountain.

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 hath borne a quiver, In a chariot of men — horsemen, And Kir hath exposed a 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 cometh to pass, The choice of thy valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen place themselves diligently 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 one removeth the covering of Judah, And thou lookest in that day Unto 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 And the breaches of the city of David ye have seen, For they have become many, And ye gather 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 the houses of Jerusalem ye did number, And ye break down the houses to fence the wall.

A taua ana e koutou nga whare o Hiruharama; wawahia ana e koutou nga whare hei hanga mo te taiepa.

11 And a ditch ye made between the two walls, For the waters of the old pool, And ye have not looked unto its Maker, And its Framer of old ye have not seen.

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 call doth the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on of 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 lo, joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, And slaughtering of sheep, Eating of flesh, and drinking of wine, Eat and drink, for to-morrow we 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 revealed it hath been in mine ears, [By] Jehovah of Hosts: Not pardoned is this iniquity to you, Till ye die, said the Lord, Jehovah 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 said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts: 'Go, enter in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who [is] over the house:

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 — to thee here? And who — to thee here? That thou hast hewn out to thee here — a sepulchre? Hewing on high his sepulchre, Graving in a rock a dwelling for himself.

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 Lo, Jehovah is casting thee up and down, A casting up and down, O mighty one,

Nana, ka maka kinotia atu koe e Ihowa, ka peratia i ta te tangata kaha; ae ra, ka kopakina rawatia koe e ia.

18 And thy coverer covering, wrapping round, Wrappeth thee round, O babbler, On a land broad of sides — there thou diest, And there the chariots of thine honour [Are] the shame of the house of thy lord.

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 have thrust thee from thy station, And from thine office he throweth 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 hath come to pass, in that day, That I have called to my servant, To Eliakim son of Hilkiah.

I taua ra ka karangatia e ahau taku pononga, e Eriakimi tama a Hirikia.

21 And I have clothed him with thy coat, And with thy girdle I strengthen him, And thy garment I give into his hand, And he hath been for a father to the inhabitant 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 I have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he hath opened, and none is shutting, And hath shut, and none is opening.

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 have fixed him a nail in a stedfast place, And he hath been for a throne of honour To the house of his father.

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 have hanged on him All the honour of the house of his father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small quality, From vessels of basins to all 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 — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Moved is the nail that is fixed In a stedfast place, Yea, it hath been cut down, and hath fallen, And cut off hath been the burden that [is] on it, For Jehovah hath spoken!'

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.
