Ihaia 3
1 No te mea tenei te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, te tango atu nei i Hiruharama, i a Hura, i te titoko me te tokotoko, i te titoko taro katoa, i te titoko wai katoa;
For, behold, the Lord, GOD of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
2 I te marohirohi, i te tangata whawhai; i te kaiwhakawa, i te poropiti, i te tohunga, i te tautahito;
the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
3 I te rangatira rima tekau, i te tangata nui, i te kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, i te kaimahi mohio, i te mea matau ki te taki.
the captain of fifty, the honourable man, the counsellor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
4 Ka hoatu ano e ahau he tamariki hei rangatira mo ratou, he kohungahunga hoki hei kingi mo ratou.
I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.
5 Ka tukinotia ano te iwi, tetahi e tetahi, te tangata e tona hoa tata; ka whakahihi hoki te tamariki ki te kaumatua, te mea e whakahaweatia ana ki te tangata e whakahonoretia ana.
The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbour. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the wicked against the honourable.
6 E mau hoki te tangata ki tona tuakana, i te whare o tona papa, a ka mea, He kakahu tou, hei rangatira koe mo matou, a hei raro i tou ringa tenei whakatakanga:
Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”
7 A taua ra ka karanga nui ia, ka mea, E kore ahau e pai hei kaiwhakaora; kahore hoki he taro i toku whare, kahore he kakahu: kaua ahau e meinga e koutou hei rangatira mo te iwi.
In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.”
8 Kua taka hoki a Hiurharama, kua hinga a Hura; kua whawhai nei hoki to ratou arero, me a ratou mahi, ki a Ihowa, whakapataritari ai i nga kanohi o tona kororia.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 Ko te titiro hoki a o ratou kanohi hei kaiwhakaatu mo to ratou he; e pera ana me Horoma e whakapuaki ana i o ratou hara, kahore e huna. Aue te mate mo to ratou wairua! ko ta ratou utu hoki ki a ratou ano, ko te kino.
The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
10 Mea atu ki te tangata tika, ko te pai mona: ka kainga hoki e ratou nga hua o a ratou mahi.
Tell the righteous that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
11 Aue te mate mo te tangata kino! ko te he mona: ka riro hoki i a ia te utu o ta ona ringa.
Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them, for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.
12 Tena ko taku iwi, he tamariki o ratou kaitukino, he wahine hoki e kingi ana mo ratou. E taku iwi, ko ou kaiarahi kei te whakapohehe i a koe, kei te whakakahore hoki i te tikanga o ou huarahi.
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
13 E whakatika ake ana a Ihowa ki te tohe, e tu ana ia ki te whakawa i nga iwi.
The LORD stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
14 Ka timata ta Ihowa whakawa i nga kaumatua o tana iwi, i ona rangatira ano hoki: Ko koutou nana i pau ai te mara waina; ko nga taonga a nga rawakore i pahuatia kei roto i o koutou whare:
The LORD will enter into judgement with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15 He aha ta koutou tikanga i kuru ai koutou i taku iwi, i orohina ai e koutou nga mata o nga rawakore? e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano.
What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, GOD of Armies.
16 Na i mea ano a Ihowa, Na i te mea e whakapehapeha ana nga tamahine o Hiona, e haere ana me te uatoko o nga kaki, me te takataka o nga karu, ka whakameamea, me te tatangi ano nga waewae:
Moreover the LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking daintily as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
17 Mo reira ka whakangaua e te Ariki ki te patito te tumuaki o nga tamahine o Hiona, ka takoto kau ano hoki i a Ihowa o ratou wahi ngaro.
therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and the LORD will make their scalps bald.”
18 I taua ra ka kore i te Ariki te ataahua o nga mea tatangi o nga waewae, o nga whakapaipai ripekapeka, o nga heitiki;
In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
19 Nga mekameka, nga poroporo me nga arai kanohi,
the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
20 Nga potae, nga whakapaipai o nga waewae, nga pakawe, nga pouaka hongihongi me nga whakakai,
the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,
21 Nga mowhiti, nga whakapaipai o te ihu,
the signet rings, the nose rings,
22 Nga kakahu whakapaipai, nga koroka, nga hooro me nga pukoro,
the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
23 Nga whakaata me te rinena pai, nga potae me nga arai whakapaipai.
the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
24 Na he kakara pai i mua, tera e puta ake he piro; he whitiki, tuku iho he tawhetawhe; he koukou huatau, tau iho he pakira kau; he tatua whakapaipai, kopakina iho ki te kakahu taratara: he ataahua, hunuhunua ake.
It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
25 Ka hinga ou tangata i te hoari, ou marohirohi i te whawhaitanga.
Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
26 Ka tangi, ka aue ona kuwaha; a ka mokemoke ia, ka tau ki te whenua.
Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
