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 with his keen and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he will slay the dragon that [is] in the sea.
2 I taua ra: He mara waina, waiata atu koutou ki reira.
In that day sing ye to her, A vineyard of red wine.
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 the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest [any] hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
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.
Fury [is] not in me: who would set the briers [and] thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them 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 let him take hold of my strength, [that] he may make peace with me, [and] he shall 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.
He shall cause them that descend from Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
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?
Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? [or] is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
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.
In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
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.
By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this [is] all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalk-stones that are beaten asunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
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.
Yet the fortified city [shall be] desolate, [and] the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume its branches.
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.
When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come [and] set them on fire: for it [is] a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.
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 it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall gather from the channel of the river to the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children 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 it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD on the holy mount at Jerusalem.
