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 VISION OF EGYPT. Behold, the Lord sits on a swift cloud, and shall come to Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and their heart shall faint within them.

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 the Egyptians shall be stirred up against the Egyptians: and a man shall fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbor, city against city, and law against law.

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 the Egyptians shall be troubled within them; and I will frustrate their counsel: and they shall enquire of their gods and their images, and them that speak out of the earth, and them that have in them a divining spirit.

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 deliver Egypt into the hands of men, of cruel lords; and cruel kings shall rule over them: thus saith the Lord of hosts.

5 Ka kore haere hoki nga wai o te moana, ka mimiti, ka maroke te awa.

And the Egyptians shall drink the water that is by the sea, but the river shall fail, and be dried up.

6 A ka piro nga awa; ka mimiti, a ka maroke nga awa o Ihipa: ka mate nga kakaho me nga raupo.

And the streams shall fail, and the canals of the river; and every reservoir of water shall be dried up, in every marsh also of reed and papyrus.

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.

And all the green herbage round about the river, and everything sown by the side of the river, shall be blasted with the wind and dried up.

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.

And the fishermen shall groan, and all that cast a hook into the river shall groan; they also that cast nets, and the anglers shall mourn.

9 Ka whakama hoki nga kaimahi o te muka pai, ratou ko nga kaiwhatu o nga kakahu ma.

And shame shall come upon them that work fine flax, and them that make fine linen.

10 Ko ona turanga, mongamonga noa, ka pouri hoki nga wairua o nga kaimahi katoa e utua ana.

And they that work at them shall be in pain, and all that make beer shall be grieved, and be pained in their souls.

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?

And the princes of Tanis shall be fools: [as for] the king's wise counsellors, their counsel shall be turned into folly: how will ye say to the king, we are sons of wise men, sons of ancient 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 are now thy wise men? and let them declare to thee, and say, What has the Lord of hosts purposed upon 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 princes of Tanis have failed, and the princes of Memphis are lifted up [with pride], and they shall cause Egypt to wander by tribes.

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.

For the Lord has prepared for them a spirit of error, and they have caused Egypt to err in all their works, as one staggers who is drunken and vomits also.

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 there shall be no work to the Egyptians, which shall make head or tail, or beginning or end.

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.

But in that day the Egyptians shall be as women, in fear and in trembling because of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shall bring upon them.

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 the Jews shall be for a terror to the Egyptians: whosoever shall name it to them, they shall fear, because of the counsel which the Lord of hosts has purposed concerning 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 shall be five cities in Egypt speaking the language of Chanaan, and swearing by the name of the Lord of hosts; one city shall be called the city of Asedec.

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 shall be an altar to the Lord in the land of the Egyptians, and a pillar to the Lord by its border.

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 shall be for a sign to the Lord for ever in the land of Egypt: for they shall presently cry to the Lord by reason of them that afflict them, and he shall send them a man who shall save them; he shall judge and save them.

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 shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day; and they shall offer sacrifices, and shall vow vows to the Lord, and pay [them].

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 shall smite the Egyptians with a stroke, and shall completely heal them: and they shall return to the Lord, and he shall hear them, and thoroughly heal them.

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 shall be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrians shall enter into Egypt, and the Egyptians shall go to the Assyrians, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrians.

24 I taua ra hei tuatoru a Iharaira mo Ihipa, mo Ahiria, hei manaaki i waenganui o te whenua.

In that day shall Israel be third with the Egyptians and the Assyrians, blessed in the land which the Lord of hosts has blessed,

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.

saying, Blessed be my people that is in Egypt, and that is among the Assyrians, and Israel mine inheritance.
