Ihaia 24
1 Nana, kua meinga e Ihowa te whenua kia noho tahanga, kia takoto kau, kua porohurihia ake e ia, a kua whakamararatia ona tangata.
Behold, the Lord maketh the earth emptie, and hee maketh it waste: hee turneth it vpside downe, and scattereth abrode the inhabitants thereof.
2 A ka rite te iwi ki te tohunga, te pononga ki tona ariki, te pononga wahine ki tona rangatira wahine, te tangata i utua ai te taonga ki te tangata i a ia nei te utu, te kaiwhakatarewa mai ki te tangata i te nama, te tangata i te moni whakatupu ki te tangata nana nei i homai ki a ia.
And there shalbe like people, like Priest, and like seruaunt, like master, like maide, like mistresse, like bier, like seller, like lender, like borower, like giuer, like taker to vsurie.
3 Ka moti rawa ta te whenua, pahua rawa: kua korerotia hoki e Ihowa tenei kupu.
The earth shalbe cleane emptied, and vtterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this worde.
4 E tangi ana te whenua, ngohe noa iho; kahakore kau te ao, ngohe noa iho; harotu kau te hunga rarahi o te whenua.
The earth lamenteth and fadeth away: the world is feeble and decaied: the proude people of the earth are weakened.
5 Kua poke ano te whenua i raro i ona tangata; kua takahia hoki nga ture, whakaputaia ketia ake e ratou te tikanga i whakatakotoria, whakataka ana e ratou te kawenata onamata.
The earth also deceiueth, because of the inhabitantes thereof: for they transgressed the lawes: they changed the ordinances, and brake the euerlasting couenant.
6 Na reira i kainga ai te whenua e te kanga, kitea iho te hara o ona tangata; na reira i wera ai nga tangata o te whenua, a he torutoru te hunga i toe.
Therefore hath the curse deuoured the earth, and the inhabitantes thereof are desolate. Wherefore the inhabitants of the land are burned vp, and fewe men are left.
7 E tangi ana te waina hou; kua kahakore te waina; kei te mapu te hunga ngakau koa katoa.
The wine faileth, the vine hath no might: all that were of merie heart, doe mourne.
8 Ka mutu te koa o nga timipera, kua kore te nge o te hunga e hari ana; mutu ake te koa o te hapa.
The mirth of tabrets ceaseth: the noyse of them that reioyce, endeth: the ioye of the harpe ceaseth.
9 Kore ake ta ratou waiata i te mea e inu waina ana; ka kawa te wai kaha ki te hunga e inu ana.
They shall not drinke wine with mirth: strong drinke shall be bitter to them that drinke it.
10 Kua pakaru te pa o te pororaru, tutaki rawa nga whare katoa, te ai he tomokanga atu.
The citie of vanitie is broken downe: euery house is shut vp, that no man may come in.
11 He karanga kei nga ara, he mea mo te waina; kua pouri katoa te koa, kua riro te harakoa o te whenua.
There is a crying for wine in the streetes: al ioy is darkened: the mirth of the world is gone away.
12 Mahue iho ki te pa ko te ururua; ko te kuwaha, he mea whiu ki te whakangaromanga.
In the citie is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
13 Ka penei te hanga i waenganui i te whenua i roto i nga iwi; kei te ruiruinga o te oriwa te rite, kei te hamunga o nga karepe ina mutu te whawhaki.
Surely thus shall it bee in the middes of the earth, among the people, as the shaking of an oliue tree, and as the grapes when the vintage is ended.
14 Ka ara to ratou reo, ka waiata ratou; mo te nui hoki o Ihowa, ka hamama mai ratou i te moana.
They shall lift vp their voyce: they shall shout for the magnificence of the Lord: they shall reioyce from the sea.
15 Na whakakororiatia a Ihowa i te rawhiti, te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira, i nga motu o te moana.
Wherefore praise yee the Lord in the valleis, euen the Name of the Lord God of Israel, in the yles of the sea.
16 I te pito rawa o te whenua kua rangona nga waiata e tatou, he kororia ki te tangata tika. Otiia ka ki ake ahau, Kei te whakaheke ahau! kei te whakaheke! aue te mate i ahau! he mahi tinihanga ta te hunga tinihanga; nui atu te tinihanga o te hunga tinihanga.
From the vttermost part of the earth wee haue heard praises, euen glory to the iust, and I sayd, My leanesse, my leanesse, woe is mee: the transgressours haue offended: yea, the transgressours haue grieuously offended.
17 Ko te wehi, ko te rua, ko te rore, kei a koe, e te tangata o te whenua.
Feare, and the pitte, and the snare are vpon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 Na, ko te tangata e rere mai i te ngangau o te wehi, ka taka ki te rua; a ko te tangata e puta ake ana i roto i te rua, ka mau i te rore; kua puare hoki nga matapihi o runga, a e ru ana nga turanga o te whenua.
And hee that fleeth from the noyse of the feare, shall fall into the pit: and he that commeth vp out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the windowes from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth doe shake.
19 Ngakongako kau te whenua, memeha kau noa iho te whenua, ngaueue kau te whenua.
The earth is vtterly broken downe: the earth is cleane dissolued: the earth is mooued exceedingly.
20 Hurorirori kau te whenua ano he haurangi, nekenekehia ana, me te mea he whare tira; ka taimaha iho hoki tona he ki runga ki a ia, ka hinga, heoi ano ona aranga ake.
The earth shall reele to and from like a drunken man, and shall be remooued like a tent, and the iniquitie thereof shall be heauie vpon it: so that it shall fall, and rise no more.
21 I taua ra ka whiua e Ihowa te ope o te hunga kua neke ake, me nga kingi o te whenua i runga i te whenua.
And in that day shall the Lord visite the hoste aboue that is on hie, euen the Kinges of the world that are vpon the earth.
22 A ka huihuia ratou, ka peratia me nga herehere e huihuia ana ki te rua, ka tutakina hoki ki te whare herehere, a ka maha nga ra ka tirohia iho ratou.
And they shall be gathered together, as the prisoners in the pit: and they shall be shut vp in the prison, and after many daies shall they be visited.
23 Ko reira te marama numinumi kau ai, ka whakama ano hoki te ra; ka kingi hoki a Ihowa o nga mano ki Maunga Hiona, ki Hiurharama, ki te aroaro ano o ana kaumatua i runga i te kororia.
Then the moone shall be abashed, and the sunne ashamed, when the Lord of hostes shall reigne in mount Zion and in Ierusalem: and glory shalbe before his ancient men.
