Isaiah 43

1 And now, thus said Jehovah, Thy Creator, O Jacob, and thy Fashioner, O Israel, Be not afraid, for I have redeemed thee, I have called on thy name — thou [art] Mine.

Na inaianei ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a tou kaihanga, e Hakopa, a tou kaiwhakaahua, e Iharaira, Kaua e wehi: kua oti nei hoki koe te hoko e ahau, kua karangatia e ahau tou ingoa; naku koe.

2 When thou passest into waters, I [am] with thee, And into floods, they do not overflow thee, When thou goest into fire, thou art not burnt, And a flame doth not burn against thee.

Ka haere koe i roto i te wai, ko ahau hei hoa mou; i nga awa ano, e kore e huri mai ki runga i a koe; ki te haere koe i roto i te ahi, e kore koe e wera, e kore ano te mura e ka ki a koe.

3 For I — Jehovah thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour, I have appointed Egypt thine atonement, Cush and Seba in thy stead.

Ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko tou Atua, ko te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, ko tou kaiwhakaora: i hoatu e ahau a Ihipa hei utu mou, a Etiopia raua ko Tepa hei wahi mou.

4 Since thou wast precious in Mine eyes, Thou wast honoured, and I have loved thee, And I appoint men in thy stead, And peoples instead of thy life.

I te mea he taonga nui koe ki taku titiro, he mea e whakahonoretia ana, a i arohaina koe e ahau; mo reira ka hoatu e ahau he tangata mo tou turanga, he iwi hoki hei utu mou kia ora.

5 Be not afraid, for I [am] with thee, From the east I bring in thy seed, And from the west I gather thee.

Kaua e wehi: kei a koe nei hoki ahau: ka kawea mai e ahau ou uri i te rawhiti, ka kohikohia mai koe i te uru.

6 I am saying to the north, 'Give up,' And to the south, 'Restrain not.' Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.

Ka mea ahau ki te raki, Homai; ki te tonga, Kaua e kaiponuhia: kawea mai aku tama i tawhiti, aku tamahine i te pito o te whenua;

7 Every one who is called by My name, Even for My honour I have created him, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.

Te hunga katoa i huaina nei toku ingoa mo ratou: naku hoki ratou i hanga hei whakakororia moku: naku ia i whakaahua, naku hoki ia i mahi.

8 He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.

Whakaputaina mai nga matapo he kanohi nei o ratou, nga turi he taringa nei o ratou.

9 All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declareth this, And former things causeth us to hear? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, 'Truth.'

Kia huihui nga iwi katoa, kia rupeke tahi nga tauiwi: ko wai i roto i a ratou hei whakaatu i tenei, hei korero i nga mea o mua ki a tatou? kia homai e ratou o ratou kaiwhakaatu, kia whakatikaia atu ai ta ratou: ma ratou ranei e whakarongo, e mea mai, He pono.

10 Ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that ye know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.

Ko koutou hei whakaatu mo taku, e ai ta Ihowa, me taku pononga i whiriwhiria e ahau, kia mohio ai koutou, kia whakapono ai ki taku, kia matau ai ko ahau ia, kahore he Atua i whakaahuatia i mua i ahau, kahore hoki tetahi i muri i ahau.

11 I — I [am] Jehovah, And besides Me there is no saviour.

Ko ahau, ko ahau nei ano, a Ihowa; kahore atu hoki he kaiwhakaora, ko ahau anake.

12 I — I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I [am] God.

Naku i whakaatu, naku hoki i whakaora, naku ano i korero, i te mea kahore he atua ke i roto i a koutou: na ko koutou hei kaiwhakaatu moku, e ai ta Ihowa, a ko te Atua ahau.

13 Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who doth turn it back?

Ae ra, i te mea kahore ano he ra ko ahau tenei; e kore hoki tetahi e whakaora ake i roto i toku ringa: maku e mahi, ko wai hoki hei whakakahore?

14 Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: 'For your sake I have sent to Babylon, And caused bars to descend — all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a to koutou kaihoko, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, He whakaaro ki a koutou i unga tangata ai ahau ki Papurona, a ka mauria mai e ahau ratou katoa, he mawhiti mai, ara nga Karari i runga i nga kaipuke i harakoa ai ratou.

15 I [am] Jehovah, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.'

Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Mea Tapu, ko te kaihanga o Iharaira, ko to koutou Kingi.

16 Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving in the sea a way, And in the strong waters a path.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa nana nei i homai te ara i te moana, te huarahi i roto i nga wai kaha;

17 Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: 'Together they lie down — they rise not, They have been extinguished, As flax they have been quenched.'

Nana nei i whakaputa mai te hariata, te hoiho, te ope, me te kaha; takoto tahi ana ratou, te ara ki runga: kua keto ratou, kua tineia, ano he muka.

18 Remember not former things, And ancient things consider not.

Kaua e mahara ki nga mea o mua; ko nga mea onamata kaua e whakaaroa.

19 Lo, I am doing a new thing, now it springeth up, Do ye not know it? Yea, I put in a wilderness a way, In a desolate place — floods.

Tenei ahau te mahi nei i te mea hou; akuanei te tupu ai: e kore ranei e mohiotia e koutou? ka oti i ahau he ara i te koraha, he awa i te titohea.

20 Honour me doth the beast of the field, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given in a wilderness waters, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people — My chosen.

Ka whakakororiatia ahau e nga kararehe o te parae, e nga kirehe mohoao, e nga otereti; no te mea ka hoatu e ahau he wai i te koraha, he awa i te titohea, hei inu ma taku iwi, ma taku i whiriwhiri ai;

21 This people I have formed for Myself, My praise they recount.

Ma te iwi i whakaahuatia e ahau maku, ma ratou e kauwhau te whakamoemiti moku.

22 And Me thou hast not called, O Jacob, For thou hast been wearied of me, O Israel,

Na kihai nei koe i karanga ki ahau, e Hakopa; kua hoha koe ki ahau e Iharaira.

23 Thou hast not brought in to Me, The lamb of thy burnt-offerings, And [with] thy sacrifices thou hast not honoured Me, I have not caused thee to serve with a present, Nor wearied thee with frankincense.

Kihai i kawea mai e koe ki ahau au hipi hei tahunga tinana; kihai ano ahau i whakakororiatia ki au patunga tapu. Kahore aku whakamahi i a koe ki te whakahere, kihai ano koe i ngenge, i te meatanga i te whakakakara.

24 Thou hast not bought for Me with money sweet cane, And [with] the fat of thy sacrifices hast not filled Me, Only — thou hast caused Me to serve with thy sins, Thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities.

Kihai i hokona e koe he kakaho reka maku ki te moni, kihai hoki ahau i makona i te ngako o au patunga tapu; engari i whakamahia ahau e koe ki ou hara, mauiui ana ahau i au mahi he.

25 I — I [am] He who is blotting out Thy transgressions for Mine own sake, And thy sins I do not remember.

Ko ahau, ko ahau nei ano, te kaimuru atu i ou he, he whakaaro ano ki ahau: e kore ano ou hara e maharatia e ahau.

26 Cause me to remember — we are judged together, Declare thou that thou mayest be justified.

Whakamaharatia ahau; tatou ka whakawa ki a tatou ano; korerotia e koe tau, kia whakatikaia ai koe.

27 Thy first father sinned, And thine interpreters transgressed against me,

Ko tou papa tuatahi, i hara; ko ou kaiwhakaako, whakakeke ana ki ahau.

28 And I pollute princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!

Na reira whakapokea iho e ahau nga rangatira o te wahi tapu, a hoatu ana e ahau a Hakopa ki te kanga, a Iharaira ki te tawai.
