Ihaia 14
1 No te mea ka aroha a Ihowa ki a Hakopa, ka whiriwhiria ano a Iharaira e ia; ka meinga hoki ratou kia ata noho ki to ratou ake oneone; ka piri ano te tangata ke ki a ratou, ka uru ano hoki ki roto ki te whare o Hakopa.
For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will again make Israel his special people, and will put them in their land; and the man from a strange country will take his place among them and be joined to the family of Jacob.
2 E tango ano nga iwi i a ratou, e kawe i a ratou ki to ratou wahi, riro tonu iho ratou i te whare o Iharaira hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine i te oneone a Ihowa: a hei whakarau mo ratou o ratou kaiwhakarau, ko ratou ano hei rangatira mo o rat ou kaitukino.
And the people will take them with them to their place: and the children of Israel will give them a heritage in the Lord's land as men-servants and women-servants, making them prisoners whose prisoners they were; and they will be rulers over their masters.
3 Na, i te ra e meinga ai koe e Ihowa kia okioki i tou pouri, i tou pawera, i te mahi pakeke ano hoki i whakamahia ai koe,
And it will be, in the day when the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your trouble, and from the hard yoke which they had put on you,
4 Ko reira maranga ai tenei pepeha au mo te kingi o Papurona, ka mea hoki koe, Anana! mutu pu ta te kaitukino, mutu pu ta te pa koura!
That you will take up this bitter song against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the cruel overseer come to an end! He who was lifted up in pride is cut off;
5 Whati ana i a Ihowa te tokotoko o te hunga kino, te hepeta o nga kingi;
The stick of the evil-doers, the rod of the rulers, is broken by the Lord;
6 Nana i patu nga iwi, me te riri, me te patu kihai i tamutu, nana i whakahaere nga iwi i runga i te riri, me te whakatupu kino, kahore he kaiaraarai.
He whose rod was on the peoples with an unending wrath, ruling the nations in passion, with an uncontrolled rule.
7 Kua whai okiokinga, kua ata noho te whenua katoa; pakaru mai ana ta ratou waiata.
All the earth is at rest and is quiet: they are bursting into song.
8 Ae, kei te koa nga kauri ki a koe, ratou ko nga hita o Repanona, e ki ana, No tou taunga ano ki raro i kore ai te kaitapahi e tae mai ki a matou.
Even the trees of the wood are glad over you, the trees of Lebanon, saying, From the time of your fall no wood-cutter has come up against us with an axe.
9 Ko te reinga i raro, oho ana i a koe, he tutakitanga ki a koe i tou taenga atu; he meatanga ki a koe i whakaarahia ai e ia nga tupapaku, nga mea nunui o te whenua; maranga ana i a ia nga kingi katoa o nga iwi i runga i o ratou torona. (Sheol h7585)
The underworld is moved at your coming: the shades of the dead are awake before you, even the strong ones of the earth; all the kings of the world have got up from their seats. (Sheol h7585)
10 Ka korero ratou katoa ki a koe, ka mea, Ko koe ano hoki, kua ngoikore penei me matou? kua rite koe ki a matou?
They all make answer and say to you, Have you become feeble like us? have you been made even as we are?
11 Kua oti tou kororia te whakahoki iho ki te reinga, me te rangi ano o au hatere: ko te whariki mou ko te kutukutu, ko te hipoki mou ko nga toke. (Sheol h7585)
Your pride has gone down into the underworld, and the noise of your instruments of music; the worms are under you, and your body is covered with them. (Sheol h7585)
12 Anana! tou takanga iho i te rangi, e Tawera, e te tama a te ata! te tapahanga iho i a koe ki raro, nau nei i tuku nga iwi ki raro!
How great is your fall from heaven, O shining one, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the earth, low among the dead bodies!
13 I mea hoki tou ngakau, Ka piki ahau ki te rangi, ka whakanekehia ake e ahau toku torona ki runga i nga whetu a te Atua, ka noho ano ahau ki te maunga o te whakaminenga, ki nga taha rawa ki te raki.
For you said in your heart, I will go up to heaven, I will make my seat higher than the stars of God; I will take my place on the mountain of the meeting-place of the gods, in the inmost parts of the north.
14 Ka pikitia e ahau a runga ake o nga wahi tiketike o nga kapua; ka rite ahau ki te Runga Rawa.
I will go higher than the clouds; I will be like the Most High.
But you will come down to the underworld, even to its inmost parts. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ko te hunga e kite i a koe, matatau tonu ta ratou titiro ki a koe, me ta ratou ata whakaaroaro ano, Ko te tangata ianei tenei i wiri ai te whenua, i ngaueue ai nga rangatiratanga;
Those who see you will be looking on you with care, they will be in deep thought, saying, Is this the troubler of the earth, the shaker of kingdoms?
17 I mea nei i te ao hei koraha, wahia ana e ia ona pa: kihai i tuku i ana herehere ki to ratou wahi?
Who made the world a waste, overturning its towns; who did not let his prisoners loose from the prison-house.
18 Ko nga kingi katoa o nga iwi, ko ratou katoa, takoto ana i tona whare, i tona whare, i runga i te kororia.
All the kings of the earth are at rest in glory, every man in his house,
19 Ko koe ia he mea maka mai i tou urupa, ano he peka e whakariharihangia ana, he mea whakakakahu ki te hunga i patua, i werohia ki te hoari, e haere ana ki raro ki nga kohatu o te rua; ano he tinana i takatakahia e te waewae.
But you, like a birth before its time, are stretched out with no resting-place in the earth; clothed with the bodies of the dead who have been put to the sword, who go down to the lowest parts of the underworld; a dead body, crushed under foot.
20 E kore te tanumanga mou e huihuia ki to ratou, mou i whakangaro i tou whenua, i patu i tou iwi: e kore te uri o nga kaimahi i te kino e whai ingoa, ake ake.
As for your fathers, you will not be united with them in their resting-place, because you have been the cause of destruction to your land, and of death to your people; the seed of the evil-doer will have no place in the memory of man.
21 Kia tere te patu mo ana tamariki, mo te he o o ratou matua; kei kake, kei riro ano i a ratou te whenua, kei kapi te mata o te ao i o ratou pa.
Make ready a place of death for his children, because of the evil-doing of their father; so that they may not come up and take the earth for their heritage, covering the face of the world with waste places.
22 Ka whakatika hoki ahau ki a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka tapahia atu ano e ahau i Papurona te ingoa me te toenga, te tama me te mokopuna, e ai ta Ihowa.
For I will come up against them, says the Lord of armies, cutting off from Babylon name and offspring, son and son's son, says the Lord.
23 Ka meinga ano a reira e ahau hei kainga mo te matuku, hei harotoroto wai; ka purumatia ano e ahau ki te puruma o te whakangaromanga, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
And I will make you a heritage for the hedgehog, and pools of water: and I will go through it with the brush of destruction, says the Lord of armies.
24 Kua oati a Ihowa o nga mano, kua mea, Ina, u tonu taku i whakaaro ai: ko taku i whakatakoto ai, mau tonu;
The Lord has taken an oath, saying, My design will certainly come about, and my purpose will be effected:
25 Mo te Ahiriana kia whati i ahau ki toku whenua, kia takatakahia ki runga ki oku maunga: ko reira tana ioka marere ai i runga i a ratou; a ka marere tana pikaunga i runga i o ratou pokohiwi.
To let the Assyrian be broken in my land, and crushed under foot on my mountains: there will his yoke be taken away from them, and his rule over them come to an end.
26 Ko te whakaaro tenei kei te takoto mo te whenua katoa: ko te ringa ano tenei e totoro atu nei ki nga iwi katoa.
This is the purpose for all the earth: and this is the hand stretched out over all nations.
27 Kua takoto hoki i a Ihowa o nga mano, a ma wai e whakataka? kua totoro tona ringa, a ko wai hei mea kia pepeke?
For it is the purpose of the Lord of armies, and who will make it of no effect? when his hand is stretched out, by whom may it be turned back?
28 No te tau i mate ai a Kingi Ahata tenei poropititanga.
In the year of the death of King Ahaz this word came to the prophet:
29 Kei koa, e Pirihitia katoa, ki te whatinga o te rakau a te kaiwhiu i a koe: tera hoki e puta ake he neke i roto i te pakiaka o te nakahi, a ko tona hua he nakahi e rere ana me he ahi.
Be not glad, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod which was on you is broken: for out of the snake's root will come a poison-snake, and its fruit will be a winged poison-snake.
30 Na ka kai nga matamua o nga ware, ka takoto nga rawakore, te ai he wehi; ka whakamatea ano e ahau tou pakiaka ki te hemokai, a ka patua ou morehu.
And the poorest of the land will have food, and those in need will be given a safe resting-place: but your seed will come to an end for need of food, and the rest of you will be put to the sword.
31 Aue, e te kuwaha; hamama, e te pa; harotu kau koe, e Pirihitia katoa: e puta mai hoki te paowa i te raki: e kore tetahi e tu ke mai i te wa i whakaritea mona.
Send out a cry, O door! Make sounds of sorrow, O town! All your land has come to nothing, O Philistia; for there comes a smoke out of the north, and everyone keeps his place in the line.
32 A he aha te kupu e whakahokia ki nga karere o te iwi? Ina ra, na Ihowa a Hiona i whakatu, a ka ai a reira hei rerenga atu mo nga mea o tana iwi i tukinotia.
What answer, then, will my people give to the representatives of the nation? That the Lord is the builder of Zion, and she will be a safe place for the poor of his people.
