Ihaia 19
1 Ko te poropititanga mo Ihipa. Tenei a Ihowa te rere mai nei i runga i te kapua tere, tae tonu ki Ihipa, a ka oho nga whakapakoko o Ihipa i tona aroaro, ngohe noa iho te ngakau o Ihipa i waenganui ona.
The word about Egypt. See, the Lord is seated on a quick-moving cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the false gods of Egypt will be troubled at his coming, and the heart of Egypt will be turned to water.
2 Ka whakaangahia ano e ahau nga Ihipiana ki nga Ihipiana, a ka whawhai ratou ki tona teina, ki tona tuakana, ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, te pa ki te pa, te kingitanga ki te kingitanga.
And I will send the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they will be fighting every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; town against town, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Na ka meinga te wairua o Ihipa kia kahore noa iho i waenganui i a ia; ka whakangaromia hoki e ahau ona whakaaro: a ka rapua e ratou he tikanga i nga whakapakoko, i nga tohunga whakawai, i te hunga he atua maori nei o ratou, i nga matakite.
And the spirit of Egypt will be troubled in her, and I will make her decisions without effect: and they will be turning to the false gods, and to those who make hollow sounds, and to those who have control of spirits, and to those who are wise in secret arts.
4 Ka tukua putia atu ano e ahau nga Ihipiana ki te ringa o te rangatira pakeke; he kingi taikaha ano te kingi mo ratou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano.
And I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a hard king will be their ruler, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
5 Ka kore haere hoki nga wai o te moana, ka mimiti, ka maroke te awa.
And the waters of the sea will be cut off, and the river will become dry and waste:
6 A ka piro nga awa; ka mimiti, a ka maroke nga awa o Ihipa: ka mate nga kakaho me nga raupo.
And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.
7 Ko nga otaota i te taha o te Naere, i te pareparenga o te Naera, me nga mea katoa i whakatokia ki te taha o te Naere, ka maroke, ka aia noatia atu, ka kore noa iho.
The grass-lands by the Nile, and everything planted by the Nile, will become dry, or taken away by the wind, and will come to an end.
8 Ka tangi ano nga kaihi ika, ka aue te hunga katoa e maka ana i te matau ki roto ki te Naera, ka pouri ano nga kaihora o nga kupenga ki runga ki nga wai.
The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.
9 Ka whakama hoki nga kaimahi o te muka pai, ratou ko nga kaiwhatu o nga kakahu ma.
And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.
10 Ko ona turanga, mongamonga noa, ka pouri hoki nga wairua o nga kaimahi katoa e utua ana.
And the makers of twisted thread will be crushed, and those who ... will be sad in heart.
11 He tino wairangi nga rangatira o Toana; he tino poauau hoki nga whakaaro o nga kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro mohio a Parao. He pehea ra ta koutou ki atu ki a Parao, He tama ahau na te hunga whakaaro nui, he tama na nga kingi onamata?
The chiefs of Zoan are completely foolish; the wisest guides of Pharaoh have become like beasts: how do you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the offspring of early kings?
12 Tena, kei hea ratou, au tangata whakaaro nui? ma ratou e whakaatu ki a koe inaianei; meinga kia mohio ratou ki ta Ihowa o nga mano i whakatakoto ai mo Ihipa.
Where, then, are your wise men? let them make clear to you, let them give you knowledge of the purpose of the Lord of armies for Egypt.
13 Kua whakakuaretia nga rangatira o Toana, kua tinihangatia nga rangatira o Nopa; pohehe iho a Ihipa i a ratou, ko ratou na ano te kohatu o te kokonga o nga iwi o reira.
The chiefs of Zoan have become foolish, the chiefs of Noph are tricked, the heads of her tribes are the cause of Egypt's wandering out of the way.
14 Kua oti i a Ihowa te wairua whanoke te konatu ki waenganui ona; a kua whakapohehetia e ratou a Ihipa i ana mahi katoa, koia ano kei te tangata haurangi e kotiti ke ana, e hurori ana i roto i tona ruaki.
The Lord has sent among them a spirit of error: and by them Egypt is turned out of the right way in all her doings, as a man overcome by wine is uncertain in his steps.
15 Ka kahore noa iho ano he mahi ma Ihipa, hei mahinga ma te upoko, ma te hiawero, ma te nikau, ma te wiwi.
And in Egypt there will be no work for any man, head or tail, high or low, to do.
16 I taua ra ka rite a Ihipa ki te wahine: ka wehi ka pawera i te rurutanga o te ringa o Ihowa o nga mano, e ruru ai ia ki tera wahi.
In that day the Egyptians will be like women: and the land will be shaking with fear because of the waving of the Lord's hand stretched out over it.
17 A ka ai te whenua o Hura hei whakawehi mo Ihipa, a ko nga tangata katoa e whakahuatia atu ai ia, ka wehi, i te tikanga hoki kua takoto i a Ihowa o nga mano mo reira.
And the land of Judah will become a cause of great fear to Egypt; whenever its name comes to mind, Egypt will be in fear before the Lord of armies because of his purpose against it.
18 I taua ra e rima nga pa i te whenua o Ihipa, ko to raua reo ko te reo o Kanaana, a ko Ihowa o nga mano ta ratou e oati ai; ko tetahi e huaina, Ko te pa o te ngaromanga.
In that day there will be five towns in the land of Egypt using the language of Canaan, and making oaths to the Lord of armies; and one of them will be named, The Town of the Sun.
19 I taua ra ka tu he aata ma Ihowa i waenganui o te whenua o Ihipa, me te pou i te taha o to reira rohe, he mea ki a Ihowa.
In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at the edge of the land.
20 A hei tohu tera, hei kaiwhakaatu mo Ihowa o nga mano i te whenua o Ihipa; ka karanga hoki ratou ki a Ihowa, he mea mo nga kaitukino, a ka unga e ia he kaiwhakaora ki a ratou, he kaiwawao; a mana ratou e whakaora.
And it will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of armies in the land of Egypt: when they are crying out to the Lord because of their cruel masters, then he will send them a saviour and a strong one to make them free.
21 A ka mohiotia a Ihowa e Ihipa, ka mohiotia hoki a Ihowa e nga Ihipiana i taua ra; ae ra ka mahia e ratou te patunga tapu me te whakahere; ka puaki hoki ta ratou kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa, a ka mana ano i a ratou.
And the Lord will give the knowledge of himself to Egypt, and the Egyptians will give honour to the Lord in that day; they will give him worship with offerings and meal offerings, and will take an oath to the Lord and give effect to it.
22 Ka whiua ano a Ihipa e Ihowa, ka whiua, ka rongoatia ano e ia: a ka hoki mai ratou ki a Ihowa, ka tahuri ano ia ki ta ratou inoi, ka rongoa i a ratou.
And the Lord will send punishment on Egypt, and will make them well again; and when they come back to the Lord he will give ear to their prayer and take away their disease.
23 I taua ra ka takoto he ara i Ihipa ki Ahiria, a ka tae te Ahiriana ki Ihipa, te Ihipiana ano ki Ahiria, a ka koropiko tahi te Ihipiana raua ko te Ahiriana.
In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt will come into Assyria; and the Egyptians will give worship to the Lord together with the Assyrians.
24 I taua ra hei tuatoru a Iharaira mo Ihipa, mo Ahiria, hei manaaki i waenganui o te whenua.
In that day Israel will be the third together with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the earth:
25 E manaakitia ano ratou e Ihowa o nga mano, e ki ia, Kia manaakitia a Ihipa, taku iwi, a Ahiria, te mahi a oku ringa, a Iharaira hoki, toku kainga tupu.
Because of the blessing of the Lord of armies which he has given them, saying, A blessing on Egypt my people, and on Assyria the work of my hands, and on Israel my heritage.
