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] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,
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!
Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil the fatherless.
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 do you do at a day of inspection? And at desolation that comes from afar? Near whom do you flee for help? And where do 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.
It has bowed down without Me In the place of a bound one, And they fall in the place of the slain.” With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
5 Aue, e te Ahiriana, te rakau o toku riri, te whiu kei tona ringa ko toku aritarita!
“Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.
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 send him against a profane nation, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
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.
And he does not think [it] so, And his heart does not reckon [it] so, For—to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations—not a few.
8 E ki ana hoki ia, He teka ianei he kingi katoa aku rangatira?
For he says, Are my princes not altogether kings?
9 He teka ianei he rite a Karano ki Karakemihi, he rite a Hamata ki Arapara, he rite a Hamaria ki Ramahiku?
Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
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 my hand has gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than 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?
Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?”
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 has come to pass, When the Lord fulfills all His work In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur, And concerning the glory of the height 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 has said, “I have worked by the power of my hand, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And I have spoiled their chief ones, And I put down the inhabitants as a mighty one,
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 my hand gets to the wealth of the peoples as to a nest, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs I have gathered all the earth, And there has not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.”
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.
Does the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Does the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!
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.
Therefore the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Sends leanness among his fat ones, And under his glory He kindles a burning As the burning of a fire.
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 has been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it has burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.
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.
And the glory of his forest, and his fruitful field, He consumes from soul even to flesh, And it has been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
19 Na, ko te toenga o nga rakau o tona ngahere, he torutoru, ma te tamaiti noa e tuhituhi.
And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth writes 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 has come to pass in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add anymore to lean on its striker, And have leaned on YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 He toenga ano e hoki mai, ko te toenga o Hakopa, ki te Atua kaha rawa.
A remnant returns—a remnant of Jacob, To 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.
For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of it returns, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
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.
For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
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 said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Do not be afraid, My people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, He strikes you with a rod, And his staff lifts up against you, in 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 very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”
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 YHWH of Hosts is awaking for him, A scourge like the striking of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he has lifted it in the way of 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 has come to pass in that day, His burden is turned from off your shoulder, And his yoke from off your neck, And the yoke has been destroyed, because of prosperity.
28 Kua tae ki Aiata, kua pahemo ki Mikirono; ko ana mea rongoatia ake e ia ki Mikimaha:
He has come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.
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.
They have gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 Kia nui tou reo, e te tamahine a Karimi! whakarongo, e Raihi! He mate tou, e Anatoto!
Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.
31 He whati a Maramena; kei te huihui nga tangata o Kepimi, he tahuti.
Madmenah has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
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.
Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, The hill of 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, YHWH of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty have become 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 He has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
