Ihaia 10

1 Aue te mate mo te hunga e whakatakoto ana i nga tikanga he, mo nga kaituhituhi ano hoki e tuhituhi nei i te mea nanakia;

Woe to them that write wickedness; for when they write they do write wickedness,

2 Hei whakakotiti ke i te whakawa mo nga rawakore, hei tango noa iho i te mea e tika ana ma nga ware o toku iwi, kia waiho ai nga mea a te pouaru hei taonga ma ratou, kia pahuatia ai e ratou nga pani!

perverting the cause of the poor, violently wresting the judgment of the needy ones of my people, that the widow may be a prey to them, and the orphan a spoil.

3 Ka pehea ra koutou i te ra o te tirohanga mai, o te whakangaromanga ka pa mai i tawhiti? ka rere koutou ki a wai hei awhina? a ka waiho to koutou kororia ki hea?

And what will they do in the day of visitation? for affliction shall come to you from afar: and to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory,

4 Ka piko noa iho ratou ki raro i nga herehere, ka hinga ki raro i te iwi i patua. Ahakoa ko tenei katoa, e kore tona riri e tahuri ke, engari maro tonu tona ringa.

that you may not fall into captivity? For all this [his] wrath is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.

5 Aue, e te Ahiriana, te rakau o toku riri, te whiu kei tona ringa ko toku aritarita!

Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of my wrath, and anger are in their hands.

6 Ka unga ia e ahau ki te iwi ngutukau; he he mo te iwi o toku riri taku e whakahau ai ki a ia, ki te taonga parakete mana, ki te pahua, ki te mea i a ratou hei takahanga, hei pera me te paru o nga ara.

I will send my wrath against a sinful nation, and I will charge my people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make them dust.

7 Kahore ia ona whakaaro penei, kihai hoki tona ngakau i mea ki te penei; engari he whakangaro ta tona ngakau, kia kaua ano hoki e torutoru nga iwi e hatepea e ia.

But he meant not thus, neither did he devise thus in his soul: but his mind shall change, and [that] to destroy nations not a few.

8 E ki ana hoki ia, He teka ianei he kingi katoa aku rangatira?

And if they should say to him, You alone are ruler;

9 He teka ianei he rite a Karano ki Karakemihi, he rite a Hamata ki Arapara, he rite a Hamaria ki Ramahiku?

then shall he say, Have I not taken the country above Babylon and Chalanes, where the tower was built? and have I [not] taken Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria?

10 Ka rite ki nga kingitanga o nga whakapakoko i tupono mai ki toku ringa; nui atu nei hoki o ratou whakapakoko i o Hiruharama, i o Hamaria;

As I have taken them, I will also take all the kingdoms: howl, you idols in Jerusalem, and in Samaria.

11 E kore ianei taku e mea ai ki Hiruharama, ki ona whakapakoko, e rite ki taku i mea ai ki Hamaria, ki ona whakapakoko?

For as I did to Samaria and her idols, so will I do also to Jerusalem and her idols.

12 Na, tenei ake, kia oti i te Ariki tana mahi katoa ki Maunga Hiona, ki Hiruharama, ka whiua e ahau nga hua o te ngakau nui o te kingi o Ahiria, me te kororia ano o ona kanohi whakakake.

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have finished doing all things on Mount Sion and Jerusalem, [that] I will visit upon the proud heart, [even] upon the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the boastful haughtiness of his eyes.

13 Kua ki na hoki ia, Na te kaha o toku ringa i oti ai tenei i ahau, na toku whakaaro nui; he tangata whai mahara hoki ahau: kua whakanekehia hoki e ahau nga rohe o nga iwi, kua pahuatia ano e ahau o ratou taonga, a kua riro i ahau, i te marohirohi, ki raro te hunga noho o nga torona:

For he said, I will act in strength, and in the wisdom of [my] understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and will spoil their strength.

14 Na kua kitea e toku ringa nga taonga o nga iwi, ano he kohanga: i rite hoki ki te kohikohinga a tetahi i nga hua manu i mahue, taku kohikohinga i te whenua katoa: a kihai i oraora te parirau o tetahi, kihai i hamama te mangai, kihai hoki i pipi.

And I will shake the inhabited cities: and I will take with my hand all the world as a nest: and I will even take them as eggs that have been left; and there is none that shall escape me, or contradict me.

15 E whakahihi ranei te titaha ki te tangata nana nei ia i whakamahi ki te hahau? e whakakake ranei te kani ki te tangata nana nei ia i kani ai? me te mea nei ko te patupatu hei whakakorikori i tona kaihapai, ko te tokotoko ranei hei hapai i te tan gata ehara nei i te rakau.

Shall the axe glorify itself without him that hews with it? or shall the saw lift up itself without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? but it shall not be so;

16 Mo reira ka unga mai e te Ariki, e te Ariki o nga mano, te hiroki ki ona mea momona; a ka ka ake a raro o tona kororia, he mea whakau, koia ano kei te ka o te ahi.

but the Lord of hosts shall send dishonor upon your honor, and burning fire shall be kindled upon your glory.

17 A hei ahi te marama o Iharaira, a ko tana Mea Tapu ano hoki hei mura; a ka wera ona tumatakuru, ona tataramoa, pau ake i te ra kotahi.

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and he shall sanctify him with burning fire, and it shall devour the wood as grass.

18 Ka pau ano hoki i a ia te kororia o tona ngahere, o tana mara momona, te wairua raua ko te tinana; a, hei te otinga, me te mea kua ngohe te ngakau o te kaihapai kara.

In that day the mountains shall be consumed, and the hills, and the forests, and [fire] shall devour [both] soul and body: and he that flees shall be as one fleeing from burning flame.

19 Na, ko te toenga o nga rakau o tona ngahere, he torutoru, ma te tamaiti noa e tuhituhi.

And they that are left of them shall be a [small] number, and a child shall write them.

20 I taua ra ka whakamutua e nga toenga o Iharaira ratou ko nga morehu o te whare o Hakopa, ta ratou okioki ki to ratou kaiwhiu; engari ka okioki pono ratou ki a Ihowa, ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.

And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the remnant of Israel shall no more join themselves with, and the saved of Jacob shall no more trust in, them that injured them; but they shall trust in the Holy God of Israel, in truth.

21 He toenga ano e hoki mai, ko te toenga o Hakopa, ki te Atua kaha rawa.

And the remnant of Jacob shall [trust] on the mighty God.

22 No te mea ahakoa i rite tou iwi, a Iharaira ki te onepu o te moana, he toenga kau o ratou e hoki mai: ko te whakaotinga i whakaritea, me te mea e puhake ana i te tika.

And though the people of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be saved.

23 Ka oti ra hoki, ka mahia ano hoki e te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano, te mea i whakaritea ki waenganui i te whenua katoa.

He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because the Lord will make a short work in all the world.

24 Na reira tenei kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, E taku iwi e noho nei i Hiona kaua e wehi i te Ahiriana: ahakoa patu ia i a koe ki te rakau, hapainga mai ranei e ia tona tokotoko ki a koe, pera me ta Ihipa.

Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, Be not afraid, my people who dwell in Sion, of the Assyrians, because he shall strike you with a rod: for I am bringing a stroke upon you, that [you] may see the way of Egypt.

25 He wahi iti rawa nei, a ka whakatutukitia te weriweri, toku riri hoki, i a ratou ka huna.

For yet a little while, and the indignation shall cease: but my wrath shall be against their council.

26 Ka oho ano i a Ihowa o nga mano he whiu mona, he pera me te patunga o Miriana ki te kamaka ki Orepe; a ka iri tona tokotoko i runga i te moana, a ka hapainga e ia, pera i tana i Ihipa.

And God will stir up [enemies] against them, according to the stroke of Madiam in the place of affliction: and his wrath shall be by the way of the sea, [even] to the way that leads to Egypt.

27 Na i taua ra ka makere atu tana pikaunga i tou pokohiwi, me tana ioka i tou kaki, a ka kore noa iho ano hoki te ioka i te whakawahinga.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his yoke shall be taken away from your shoulder, and his fear from you, and the yoke shall be destroyed from off your shoulders.

28 Kua tae ki Aiata, kua pahemo ki Mikirono; ko ana mea rongoatia ake e ia ki Mikimaha:

For he shall arrive at the city of Angai, and shall pass on to Maggedo, and shall lay up his stores in Machmas.

29 Kei tenei taha ratou o te whakawhitinga; kua noho a puni ratou ki Kepa: pawera noa iho a Rama; kua rere a Kipea o Haora.

And he shall pass by the valley, and shall arrive at Angai: fear shall seize upon Rama, the city of Saul.

30 Kia nui tou reo, e te tamahine a Karimi! whakarongo, e Raihi! He mate tou, e Anatoto!

The daughter of Gallim shall flee; Laisa shall hear; one shall hear in Anathoth.

31 He whati a Maramena; kei te huihui nga tangata o Kepimi, he tahuti.

Madebena also is amazed, and the inhabitants of Gibbir.

32 Hei tenei ra ano ka tu ia ki Nopo: kei te ruru tona ringa ki te maunga o te tamahine a Hiona, ki te pukepuke i Hiruharama.

Exhort you [them] today to remain in the way: exhort you [beckoning] with the hand the mountain, the daughter of Sion, even you hills that are in Jerusalem.

33 Nana, ka tapahia e te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano, nga peka, nui atu hoki te wehi: a ka tuaina ki raro nga mea he tiketike nei te ahua, ka whakaititia ano hoki nga mea whakakake.

Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will mightily confound the glorious ones; and the haughty in pride shall be crushed, and the lofty shall be brought low:

34 Ka tuaina ano e ia nga rakau poruru o te ngahere ki te rino, ka hinga ano hoki a Repanona i te mea nui.

and the lofty ones shall fall by the sword, and the Libanus shall fall with his lofty ones.
