Ihaia 11
1 A tera e puta ake he wana i te take i a Hehe, a ka whai hua tetahi peka e tupu ake i roto i ona pakiaka:
A shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will produce fruit.
2 Ka noho hoki te wairua o Ihowa ki runga ki a ia, te wairua o te whakaaro nui, o te matauranga, te wairua o te whakatakoto whakaaro, o te kaha, te wairua o te mohio, o te wehi ki a Ihowa;
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him, which is Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of advice and power, a Spirit of knowledge and awe of the Lord.
3 A, ko tana e ahuareka ai ko te wehi ki a Ihowa: e kore ano ia e whakawa i runga i ta ona kanohi e kite ai, e kore ano e whakaaro ki ta ona taringa e rongo ai, ina riria e ia te he.
His happiness will be in giving reverence to the Lord. He will not judge by what he sees, and he will not make decisions based on what he hears.
4 Engari ka whakawa ia mo nga rawakore i runga i te tika; i runga ano i te tika tona riri i te he, he whakaaro nona ki te hunga mahaki o te whenua; he whiu na tona mangai tana patu mo te whenua, ka whakamatea ano e ia te tangata kino ki te manawa o ona ngutu.
Instead, he will judge the poor justly, and make decisions fairness on behalf of the destitute people of the earth. He will strike the earth when he pronounces judgment, and he will execute the wicked with just a word from his lips.
5 A hei whitiki te tika mo tona hope, hei whitiki ano te pono mo ona whatumanawa.
He will wear goodness like a sash and trustworthiness like a belt.
6 Ka noho tahi ano te wuruhi raua ko te reme, ka takoto tahi te reparo raua ko te kuao koati; ko te kuao kau, ko te kuao raiona, ko te mea momona, kotahi ano ropu; a ma te tamaiti iti ratou e arahi.
Wolves will live with lambs; leopards will lie down with young goats, calves and young lions and young livestock will be together, and a small child will lead them along.
7 A ka kai te kau raua ko te pea; ka takoto tahi ano hoki a raua kuao: a ka rite te raiona ki te kau, ka kai i te kakau witi.
Cows and bears will graze side by side; young lions will eat straw like cattle.
8 Ka takaro hoki te tamaiti ngote u i runga i te rua o te ahipi, a ka pa atu te ringa o te tamaiti kua whakamutua te kai u ki te nohoanga o te neke.
Babies will be able to play safely near snake holes, little children will be able to put their hands into a vipers' den.
9 E kore ratou e tukino, e kore ano e whakamate puta noa i toku maunga tapu: no te mea ka kapi te whenua i te matauranga ki a Ihowa, ano ko nga wai e taupoko nei i te moana.
Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
10 Na i taua ra ko tetahi pakiaka o Hehe, ka tu hei kara ki nga iwi, ka rapua mai e nga tauiwi; ko tona okiokinga hoki, kororia rawa.
At that time the root of Jesse will stand like a banner for the nations. Foreigners will come to him, and the place of where he lives will be glorious.
11 I taua ra ka anga ano te ringa o te Ariki, a ka tuaruatia te whakahoki mai o nga morehu o tana iwi e mahue i Ahiria, i Ihipa, i Patoro, i Kuhu, i Erama, i Hinara, i Hamata, i nga motu ano o te moana.
At that time the Lord will act a second time to bring back the remnant of His people from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, and from the Mediterranean islands.
12 Ka whakaturia ano e ia he kara ki nga iwi, a ka huihuia mai te hunga o Iharaira i peia atu, ka whakaminea mai ano nga mea o Hura i marara atu, i nga pito e wha o te whenua.
He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiled people of Israel; he will bring together the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth.
13 Ka haere atu hoki te hae o Eparaima, ka hatepea atu ano hoki nga hoariri o Hura: e kore a Eparaima e hae ki a Hura, e kore ano a Hura e whakatoi ki a Eparaima.
Ephraim's jealousy will disappear, and Judah's enemies will be destroyed; Ephraim won't be jealous of Judah, and Judah won't treat Ephraim as an enemy.
14 Engari ka rere iho ratou i runga i te pokohiwi o nga Pirihitini i te taha ki te hauauru, ka pahuatia ngatahitia e ratou te hunga o te rawhiti; ka pa o ratou ringa ki runga ki a Eroma raua ko Moapa; ka whakarongo hoki nga tama a Amona ki a ratou.
Together they will fly downhill to attack the Philistines to the west; they will plunder the people of the east. They will defeat Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will become their subjects.
15 A ka whakangaromia rawatia e Ihowa te arero o te moana i Ihipa; a he hau hunuhunu tana e ruru ai i tona ringa ki runga ki te awa, e patu ai kia whitu ona rerenga, a ka meinga nga tangata kia whiti maroke noa atu.
The Lord will divide the Gulf of Suez; he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River creating a scorching wind. He will split into seven streams that people can cross easily on foot.
16 A ka takoto he ara haerenga mai i Ahiria mo nga morehu o tana iwi ka mahue; ka rite ano ki to Iharaira i te ra i haere mai ai ia i te whenua o Ihipa.
There will be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that are left, just as there was for Israel when they left the land of Egypt.
