Ihaia 27
1 I taua ra ka patua e Ihowa ki tana hoari maro, hoari nui, hoari kaha a Rewiatana, te nakahi tere, a Rewiatana, te nakahi korohape; ka tukitukia hoki e ia te tarakona i te moana.
In that day, the Lord will visit, with his harsh and great and strong sword, against Leviathan, the barred serpent, and against Leviathan, the twisted serpent, and he will slay the whale that is in the sea.
2 I taua ra: He mara waina, waiata atu koutou ki reira.
In that day, the vineyard of pure wine will sing to them.
3 Ko ahau, ko Ihowa hei tiaki i a ia; hono tonu taku whakamakuku; ka tiakina e ahau i te po, i te ao, kei tukinotia.
I am the Lord, who watches over it. I will suddenly give drink to it. I will watch over it, night and day, lest perhaps someone visit against it.
4 Kahore he riri i roto i ahau. He kore noa no nga tataramoa, no nga tumatkauru hei whawhai mai ki ahau! Penei kua haere tonu atu ahau ki runga ki a ratou, tahuna ngatahitia ake e ahau.
Indignation is not mine. Who will be a thorn and a brier to me in battle? I will advance against them. I set them on fire together.
5 Kia hopukia mai ranei e ia toku kaha, kia houhia ai te rongo ki ahau; ae ra, kia houhia ano tana rongo ki ahau.
Or will he, instead, take hold of my strength? Will he make peace with me? Will she make peace with me?
6 A nga ra e haere mai nei ka whai pakiaka nga uri o Hakopa; ka whai puawai, ka kopuku a Iharaira: a ka kapi i a ratou te mata o te ao katoa i te hua.
As they advance with violence against Jacob, Israel will flourish and spring forth, and they will fill the face of the world with offspring.
7 I rite ranei tana patu i a ia ki tana patunga i ona kaipatu? i rite ranei tona whakamatenga ki te whakamatenga o ana i whakamate ai?
Has he struck him with the scourge that he himself used to strike others? Or has he killed in the manner that he himself used to kill his victims?
8 He mea mehua tau ngangare ki a ia i tona tukunga atu e koe; kawhakina ana ia e ia ki tana hau pakaha i te ra o te marangai.
You will judge this by comparing one measure to another, when he has been cast out. He has decided this, by his stern spirit, for the day of heat.
9 Na ko tenei hei muru i te he o Hakopa; ko nga hua katoa enei o te tahinga i tona hara; kia meinga e ia nga kohatu katoa o te aata kia rite ki te kohatu taioma, kurukuru rawa, a kore ake nga Aherimi me nga whakapakoko e ara ake ake.
Therefore, concerning this, the iniquity of the house of Jacob will be forgiven. And this is the reward of all: that their sin be taken away, when he will have made all the stones of the altar to be like crushed cinders. For the sacred groves and the shrines shall not stand.
10 Kei te mokemoke hoki te pa taiepa, he kainga mahue, he mea whakarere, he pera i te koraha: kai ana te kuao kau i reira, takoto ana i reira, pau ake i a ia ona manga.
For the fortified city will be desolate. The shining city will be abandoned and will be left behind like a desert. In that place, the calf will pasture, and in that place, he will lie down, and he will feed from its summits.
11 Ka memenge ona peka, ka whatiia atu: ka haere mai nga wahine, tahuna ana e ratou ki te ahi; ehara hoki ia i te iwi e whai mahara ana: no reira e kore ratou e tohungia e to ratou kaihanga, e kore ano to ratou kaiwhakaahua e aroha ki a ratou.
Its harvest will be crushed by dryness. Women will arrive and teach it, for it is not a wise people. Because of this, he who made it will not take pity on it, and he who formed it will not spare it.
12 I taua ra ka taia nga hua e Ihowa i te waipuke o te awa, a tae noa ki te awa o Ihipa, a ka kohikohia takitahitia koutou, e nga tama a Iharaira.
And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will strike, from the channel of the river, even to the torrent of Egypt. And you shall be gathered together, one by one, O sons of Israel.
13 I taua ra ka whakatangihia he tetere nui; a ka haere mai te hunga i tata te ngaro i te whenua o Ahiria, me te hunga i te whenua o Ihipa i peia atu; a ka koropiko ratou ki a Ihowa ki te maunga tapu, ki Hiurharama.
And this shall be: in that day, a noise will be made with a great trumpet. And those who had been lost will approach from the land of the Assyrians, with those who had been outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they will adore the Lord, on the holy mountain, in Jerusalem.
