Isaiah 62
1 For Zion's sake I am not silent, And for Jerusalem's sake I do not rest, Till her righteousness go out as brightness, And her salvation, as a torch that burneth.
He whakaaro ki Hiona i kore ai ahau e noho hu, he whakaaro, ki Hiruharama te ata noho ai ahau, kia puta ra ano tona tika ano he tiahotanga, tona whakaoranga ano he rama e ka ana.
2 And nations have seen thy righteousness, And all kings thine honour, And He is giving to thee a new name, That the mouth of Jehovah doth define.
A ka kite nga tauiwi i tou tika, nga kingi katoa i tou kororia; a he ingoa hou e whakahuatia ki a koe, he mea whakahua na te mangai o Ihowa.
3 And thou hast been a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, And a diadem of royalty in the hand of thy God,
Hei karauna ataahua ano koe i te ringa o Ihowa, hei potae kingi i te ringa o tou Atua.
4 It is not said of thee any more, 'Forsaken!' And of thy land it is not said any more, 'Desolate,' For to thee is cried, 'My delight [is] in her,' And to thy land, 'Married,' For Jehovah hath delighted in thee, And thy land is married.
E kore koe e kiia a muri ake nei, He mea whakarere; heoi ano kianga o tou whenua, He ururua; engari ka huaina koe, ko Hepetipa; tou whenua, ko Peura: no te mea ka ahuareka a Ihowa ki a koe, a ka whai tahu tou whenua.
5 For a young man doth marry a virgin, Thy Builders do marry thee, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Rejoice over thee doth thy God.
Kei te marenatanga hoki o te taitamariki ki te wahine te rite o te marenatanga o au tamariki ki a koe; kei te koa hoki o te tane marena hou ki te wahine marena hou te rite o te koa o tou Atua ki a koe.
6 'On thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day, and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.' O ye remembrancers of Jehovah, Keep not silence for yourselves,
Kua oti he kaitiaki te whakarite e ahau ki ou taiepa, e Hiruharama; e kore e kopia te mangai i te ao, i te po. E nga kaiwhakahua o to Ihowa ingoa, kei ata noho,
7 And give not silence to Him, Till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem A praise in the earth.
Kaua hoki e whakamutua ta koutou ki a ia, kia whakapumautia ra ano a Hiruharama e ia, kia meinga ra ano hei whakamoemiti i runga i te whenua.
8 Sworn hath Jehovah by His right hand, Even by the arm of His strength: 'I give not thy corn any more [as] food for thine enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink thy new wine, For which thou hast laboured.
Kua oatitia e Ihowa tona ringa matau, tona takakau kaha, E kore e hoatu e ahau tau witi a muri hei kai ma ou hoariri; e kore ano nga tangata ke e inu i tau waina i mauiui ai koe.
9 For, those gathering it do eat it, and have praised Jehovah, And those collecting it do drink it in My holy courts.'
Engari ko nga tangata nana i whawhaki, ma ratou e kai, whakamoemiti tonu atu ki a Ihowa; a ko nga tangata nana i kohikohi mai, ka inumia e ratou ki nga marae o toku wahi tapu.
10 Pass ye on, pass on through the gates, Prepare ye the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples.
Tika atu, tika atu ma nga kuwaha; whakapaia te ara o te iwi; opehia ake, opehia ake te huanui; kohikohia atu nga kamaka; whakaarahia he kara ki nga iwi.
11 Lo, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: 'Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy salvation hath come,' Lo, his hire [is] with him, and his wage before him.
Nana, kua korero a Ihowa ki te pito o te whenua, Mea atu ki te tamahine a Hiona, Nana, ko tou whakaoranga te haere mai nei! nana, kei a ia tona utu, kei tona aroaro ano tana mahi.
12 And they have cried to them, 'People of the Holy One, Redeemed of Jehovah,' Yea, to thee is called, 'Sought out one, a city not forsaken!'
A ka huaina ratou, Ko te iwi tapu, Ko ta Ihowa i hoko ai; ka huaina ano hoki koe, He mea i rapua, He pa kahore i mahue.
