Ihaia 2
1 Ko te kupu i kitea e Ihaia tama a Amoho mo Hura raua ko Hiurharama.
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Na tenei ake, kei nga ra whakamutunga, ka whakapumautia te maunga i to Ihowa whare ki te tihi o nga maunga, ka whakanekehia ake ano ki runga i nga pukepuke; a ka rere nga iwi katoa ki reira.
And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it.
3 Ka haere hoki nga iwi maha, ka mea, Haere mai, tatou ka haere ki runga ki te maunga o Ihowa, ki te whare o te Atua o Hakopa: ka whakaakona tatou e ia ki ana ara; ka haere hoki tatou i ana huarahi; no te mea ka puta mai te ture i Hiona, me te kupu a Ihowa i Hiruharama.
And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
4 Ka whakarite hoki ia i nga whakawa a nga iwi, ka riria ano e ia nga iwi maha: na ka patupatua e ratou a ratou hoari hei hea parau, a ratou tao hei mea tapahi manga; e kore tetahi iwi e hapai hoari ki tetahi iwi, mutu pu ta ratou ako ki te whawhai.
And he will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples, and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 E te whare o Hakopa, haere mai, tena tatou ka haere i to Ihowa marama.
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.
6 Kua whakarerea nei e koe tau iwi, te whare o Hakopa, no te mea kei te ki ratou i nga tikanga mai no te rawhiti, a he tohunga maori ratou, he pera me nga Pirihitini, e papaki ringa ana hoki ratou me nga tamariki a rau o iwi.
For thou have forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with things from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines. And they strike hands with the children of foreigners.
7 Ki tonu hoki to ratou whenua i te hiriwa, i te koura, a kahore he mutunga o o ratou taonga: kapi tonu hoki to ratou whenua i te hoiho, a kahore he mutunga o a ratou hariata.
And their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
8 Ko to ratou whenua ki tonu i te whakapakoko; e koropiko ana ratou ki te mahi a o ratou ringa, ki ta o ratou maihao i hanga ai.
Their land is also full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made,
9 A e whakapikoa ana te tangata ware, e whakaititia ana te tangata nui; mo reira kaua ratou e tohungia.
and so the common man bows down, and the great man degrades himself. Therefore do not forgive them.
10 E tomo ki roto ki te kamaka, e huna ki roto ki te puehu, i te wehi ki a Ihowa, i te kororia o tona nui.
Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Ka whakaititia nga kanohi whakapehapeha o te tangata, ka whakapikoa iho ano hoki te whakakae o nga tangata, a ko Ihowa anake e whakanuia i taua ra.
The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 No te mea ka tae iho he ra no Ihowa o nga mano ki te hunga whakapehapeha, ki te hunga whakakae katoa, ki te hunga katoa kua neke ake; a ka whakaititia iho:
For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low,
13 Ki nga hita katoa ano o Repanona kua tiketike, kua neke ake, ki nga oki katoa ano o Pahana;
and upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 Ki nga maunga tiketike katoa, ki nga pukepuke katoa kua purero ki runga:
and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 Ki nga pourewa tiketike katoa, ki nga taiepa kaha katoa ano hoki,
and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall,
16 Ki nga kaipuke katoa o Tarahihi, ki nga whakaahua katoa e minaminatia ana.
and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant imagery.
17 A e whakapikoa iho to te tangata whakapehapeha, e whakaititia iho ana ano hoki te whakakake o nga tangata, ko Ihowa anake e whakanuia i taua ra.
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 A ka ngaro whakarere nga whakapakoko,
And the idols shall utterly pass away.
19 A ka haere nga tangata ki nga ana o nga kamaka, ki nga rua o te whenua, i te wehi ki a Ihowa, i te kororia o tona nui, ina whakatika ia ki te rure kaha i te whenua.
And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
20 A taua ra ka akiritia atu e te tangata ana whakapakoko hiriwa me ana whakapakoko koura i hanga e ratou hei koropikotanga mana, ki nga kiore, ki nga pekapeka;
In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver, and their idols of gold, which have been made for them to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
21 Haere ai ki nga ana o nga kohatu, ki nga kapiti o nga kamaka, i te wehi ki a Ihowa, i te kororia o tona nui, ina whakatika ia ki te rurerure i te whenua.
to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
22 Kati ta koutou mea ki te tangata kei ona pongaponga nei tona manawa; kia pehea hoki te whakaaro ki a ia?
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for how is he to be accounted of?
