Ihaia 22

1 Ko te poropititanga mo te raorao o te whakakitenga. He aha ra nou, i piki katoa ai koe ki nga tuanui?

The burden concerning the Valley of Vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops,

2 E koe, e ki tonu nei koe i te nge, he pa turituri, he pa koa: ko ou tangata i patua ehara i te mea patu na te hoari, ehara i te hunga i mate i te whawhai.

Thou that art full of uproar, a tumultuous city, a joyous town? Thy slain are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

3 Rere ngatahi ana ou rangatira katoa, herea ana ratou e nga kaikopere, te hunga katoa i kitea i roto i a koe, herea ngatahitia ana ratou, te hunga i rere mai i tawhiti.

All thy rulers are fled together, without the bow they are bound; all that are found of thee are bound together, they are fled afar off.

4 Koia ahau i mea ai, Kati te titiro ki ahau, ka nui toku tangi; kaua e tohe ki te whakamarie i ahau mo te pahuatanga o te tamahine a toku iwi.

Therefore said I: 'Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; strain not to comfort me, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.'

5 He ra hoki tenei no te raruraru, no te takahanga, no te pokaikaha, he mea na te Ariki, na Ihowa o nga mano, i te raorao o te whakakitenga; he pakaruhanga i nga taiepa, he karangatanga ki nga maunga.

For it is a day of trouble, and of trampling, and of perplexity, from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, in the Valley of Vision; Kir shouting, and Shoa at the mount.

6 Ko ta Erama, he mau i te papa pere, me nga hariata tangata me nga kaieke hoiho; ko ta Kiri he whakaputa mai i te whakangungu rakau ki waho.

And Elam bore the quiver, with troops of men, even horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.

7 Na kapi ana ou raorao whakapaipai i te hariata, tu ana nga rarangi o nga kaieke hoiho ki te kuwaha.

And it came to pass, when thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate,

8 Na mauria atu ana e ia te hipoki o Hura; a ka titiro koe i taua ra ki nga patu i roto i te whare o te ngahere.

And the covering of Judah was laid bare, that thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest.

9 A ka kite koutou i nga pakaru o te pa o Rawiri, he maha; ka huia hoki e koutou nga wai o te poka o raro.

And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

10 A taua ana e koutou nga whare o Hiruharama; wawahia ana e koutou nga whare hei hanga mo te taiepa.

And ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye broke down the houses to fortify the wall;

11 Ka hanga ano e koutou he awa ki waenganui i nga taiepa e rua mo nga wai o te poka tawhito; kahore ia o koutou whakaaro ki te kaimahi o tena mea, kahore hoki e titiro ki tona kaihanga o mua noa atu.

ye made also a basin between the two walls for the water of the old pool — but ye looked not unto Him that had done this, neither had ye respect unto Him that fashioned it long ago.

12 Heoi ko te karangatanga a te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, i taua ra ki te tangi, ki te aue, ki te moremore, ki te whitiki i te kakahu taratara:

And in that day did the Lord, the GOD of hosts, call to weeping, and to lamentation, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;

13 Na ko te koa, ko te hari, ko te patu kau, ko te patu hipi, ko te kai kikokiko, ko te inu waina; kia kai tatou, kia inu; apopo hoki tatou mate ai.

And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine — 'Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die!'

14 Na ka whakaatu a Ihowa o nga mano ki oku taringa, He pono, e kore rawa tenei he o koutou e murua, a mate noa koutou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano.

And the LORD of hosts revealed Himself in mine ears: Surely this iniquity shall not be expiated by you till ye die, saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts.

15 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, Haere mai, haere ki tenei kaitiaki o nga moni, ki a Hepena, ki te rangatira o te whare, mea atu,

Thus saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts: Go, get thee unto this steward, even unto Shebna, who is over the house:

16 He aha tau i konei? ko wai hoki tau i konei, i haua ai e koe he tanumanga mou ki konei? e hahau ana koa he tanumanga mona i te wahi tiketike, e tarai ana he nohoanga mona ki te kamaka!

What hast thou here, and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out here a sepulchre, thou that hewest thee out a sepulchre on high, and gravest a habitation for thyself in the rock?

17 Nana, ka maka kinotia atu koe e Ihowa, ka peratia i ta te tangata kaha; ae ra, ka kopakina rawatia koe e ia.

Behold, the LORD will hurl thee up and down with a man's throw; yea, He will wind thee round and round;

18 He pono ka tahuri ia, ka whiua koe, ano he mea porotaka ki tetahi whenua nui: hei reira koe mate ai, ki reira ano hoki nga hariata o tou kororia, e koe, e te whakama o te whare o tou ariki.

He will violently roll and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of the lord's house.

19 Ka peia atu hoki koe e ahau i tou turanga, ka turakina iho ano koe e ia i tou wahi.

And I will thrust thee from thy post, and from thy station shalt thou be pulled down.

20 I taua ra ka karangatia e ahau taku pononga, e Eriakimi tama a Hirikia.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;

21 Ka whakakahuria ano ia e ahau ki tou kakahu, ka whakakahangia hoki ki tou whitiki, ka hoatu ano tou kawanatanga ki tona ringa: a hei matua ia ki nga tangata o Hiruharama, ki te whare ano o Hura.

And I will clothe him with thy robe, and bind him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

22 Ka waiho ano e ahau te ki o te whare o Rawiri ki runga ki tona pokohiwi; na mana e whakatuwhera, a kahore he tangata hei tutaki, mana e tutaki a kahore he tangata hei whakatuwhera.

And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

23 Ka titia hoki ia e ahau ano he titi ki te wahi mau, a hei torona kororia ia ki te whare o tona papa.

And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of honour to his father's house.

24 Ka whakarihia ano e ratou ki runga ki a ia te kororia katoa o te whare o tona papa, nga uri, nga whanau, nga oko ririki katoa, ara nga oko hei peihana, me nga oko katoa ano hei haka.

And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons.

25 I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka taui te titi i titia nei ki te wahi mau, ka tapahia, ka marere ki raro; ka motuhia atu ano te mea e iri ana i runga: na Ihowa hoki te kupu.

In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the peg that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for the LORD hath spoken it.
