Ihaia 30

1 Aue te mate mo nga tamariki whakakeke, e ai ta Ihowa, e hanga whakaaro nei, otiia ehara i te mea naku; e hipoki nei i te hipoki, ehara ia i te mea na toku wairua, he mea kia taparua iho ai e ratou he hara ki runga ki te hara:

"Woe to the rebellious children," says YHWH, "who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,

2 E haere nei ki raro ki Ihipa, kahore hoki e ui tikanga ki toku mangai; hei kaha hoki mo ratou te kaha o Parao, a e mea ana kia whakawhirinaki ki te taumarumarunga iho o Ihipa!

who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my advice; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt.

3 Mo reira hei mea whakama ki a koutou te kaha o Parao, hei mea ano e numinumi ai koutou te whakawhirinaki ki te taumarumarunga iho o Ihipa.

Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

4 I Toana hoki ana rangatira, i tae ano ana karere ki Hanehe.

For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.

5 Whakama katoa ratou ki te iwi kahore nei a ratou pai mo ratou, kahore he awhina, kahore he pai; engari he whakama, he ingoa kino.

They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can't profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach."

6 Ko te poropititanga mo nga kararehe o te tonga. I te whenua o te raruraru, o te ngakau mamae, no reira nei te raiona uha me te raiona toa, te waipera me te nakahi e rere nei me he ahi, ka kawea atu e ratou o ratou rawa i runga i nga pokohiwi o ng a kuao kaihe, o ratou taonga i runga i nga koropuku o nga kamera ki te iwi kahore nei a ratou pai mo ratou.

The oracle of the animals of the Negev. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.

7 Ko ta Ihipa awhina hoki he horihori, he kore noa iho: koia i huaina ai e ahau, ko Rahapa noho tonu.

For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called her Rahab who sits still.

8 Na haere, tuhituhia ki te papa ki to ratou aroaro, taia iho hoki ki te pukapuka; me waiho ano tena i nga ra i muri hei kaiwhakaatu a ake ake.

Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.

9 He tutu hoki tenei iwi, he tamariki korero teka, he tamariki kahore e pai ki te whakarongo ki te ture a Ihowa:

For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of YHWH;

10 Ko ta ratou nei kupu ki nga matakite, Kaua e kite; ki nga poropiti, Kaua e poropititia ki a matou nga mea tika; korero ki a matou i nga mea ngawari; hei nga mea tinihanga he poropititanga ma koutou:

who tell the seers, "Do not see for us," and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.

11 Peka atu i te ara, whakarerea te huarahi, kati ta te Mea Tapu o Iharaira te mea mai ki to matou aroaro.

Get out of the way. Turn aside from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us."

12 Na ko te kupu tenei a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, Kua paopao na koutou ki tenei kupu, kua okioki ano ki te tukino, ki te whanoke, u tonu atu ki reira:

Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it;

13 Na, ko te tukunga iho o tenei he ki a koutou, ka rite ki te pakaru o te taiepa, meake nei hinga, kua ngawha haere i te wahi tiketike, kitea rawatia ake kua puta whakarere tona pakaru.

therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.

14 Ka wahia hoki e ia, pera i te oko a te kaihanga rihi e wahia ana, mongamonga noa, e kore e tohungia; na e kore e kitea i roto i ona kongakonga he maramara hei tango ahi mai i te kanga ahi, hei utu wai ake ranei i te poka.

He will break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won't be found among the broken piece a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern."

15 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, Ma te tahuri mai, ma te humarie ka ora ai koutou; kei te ata noho, kei te whakawhirinaki he kaha mo koutou; heoi kihai koutou i pai.

For thus said YHWH, the Holy One of Israel, "You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence." You refused,

16 Na i ki na koutou, Kahore, engari me rere matou i runga i te hoiho; mo reira ka rere koutou: a, Ka eke matou ki runga ki te mea tere; mo reira ka tere ano te hunga e whai ana i a koutou.

but you said, "No, for we will flee on horses;" therefore you will flee; and, "We will ride on the swift;" therefore those who pursue you will be swift.

17 Ko te mano kotahi, ka rere i te riri a te tangata kotahi; ka rere koutou i te riri a te tokorima; a ka mahue koutou ano he pou kara i te tihi o te maunga, ano he kara i runga i te pukepuke.

One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.

18 Na konei ano a Ihowa ka tatari, he mea kia atawhaitia ai koutou e ia, na konei ano ia ka whakanekehia ake, kia tohungia ai koutou e ia: he Atua whakawa hoki a Ihowa, ka hari te hunga katoa e tatari ana ki a ia.

Therefore YHWH will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for YHWH is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

19 Tera hoki te iwi e noho ki Hiona, ki Hiruharama; mutu ake tou tangi: he pono ka aroha ia ki a koe, ki tou reo e tangi ana; ka rongo ia ki a koe, ka whakahoki kupu ia ki a koe.

For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.

20 Ahakoa homai e te Ariki hei taro ma koutou ko te ngakau mamae, hei wai ano ko te tukino, e kore ou kaiwhakaako e huna a muri; engari ka kite ou kanohi i ou kaiwhakaako:

Though YHWH may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won't be hidden anymore, but your eyes will see your teachers;

21 A ka rongo ou taringa i te kupu i muri i a koe e mea ana, Ko te ara tenei: na konei atu, ina tahuri koutou ki matau, ina tahuri ki maui.

and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way. Walk in it."

22 Ka whakapokea hoki e koutou te kopaki o au whakapakoko hiriwa, me te mea whakakikorua o au whakapakoko koura whakarewa: ka rukerukea atu e koe, ano he mea poke, a ka mea ki taua mea, Haere atu.

You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, "Go away."

23 A ka homai e ia he ua ki tau purapura e whakatokia e koe ki te oneone, he taro ano, he hua no te oneone, a ka whai ngako, ka nui taua mea: i taua ra ano he nunui nga parae e kai ai au kararehe.

And he will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground; it will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.

24 A ko nga kau me nga kuao kaihe e mahi ana i te oneone, ka kai i te kai pai, he mea i whakarererea ki te koko, ki te whakarerere witi.

The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

25 A i runga i nga maunga tiketike katoa, i nga pukepuke ikeike katoa, ka rere he awa, he manga wai, i te ra o te parekura nui, ina hinga nga pourewa.

There shall be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

26 Ko te marama hoki o te marama ka rite ki te marama o te ra, a ko te marama o te ra, e whitu ona whakanekehanga ake, ka rite ki te marama o nga ra e whitu, i te ra e takaia ai e Ihowa te kaiakiko o tana iwi, ina rongoatia e ia te patunga i patua ai ratou.

Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that YHWH binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.

27 Nana, kei te haere mai te ingoa o Ihowa i tawhiti, ka tonu tona riri, pongere tonu te paowa e kake ana; ki tonu ona ngutu i te riri, ko tona arero koia ano kei te ahi e kai ana:

Look, the name of YHWH comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire.

28 Ko tona manawa, ano he awa e ngawha ana, tae ana ki te kaki rawa, hei tatari i nga iwi ki te tatari o te horihori; a mau rawa ki nga kauae o nga iwi he paraire, hei whakapohehe i a ratou.

His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.

29 Ka waiata koutou, me te mea ko te po e mahia ai te hakari tapu; ka koa te ngakau, ano he tangata e haere ana me tana putorino, e haere ana ki te maunga o Ihowa, ki te Kamaka o Iharaira.

You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to YHWH's mountain, to Israel's Rock.

30 Ka meinga hoki e Ihowa tona reo kororia kia rangona, kia kitea te tautanga iho o tona ringa, me te weriweri o tona riri, te mura o te ahi e kai ana, te apuhau, te tupuhi, me te nganga kohatu.

YHWH will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.

31 Ma te reo hoki o Ihowa ka pakaru ai te Ahiriana i whiu nei ki te rakau.

For through the voice of YHWH the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.

32 A ko nga whakapanga katoa o te tokotoko i whakaritea, ko ta Ihowa hoki e whakapa ai ki a ia, ka meinga ki nga timipera, ki nga hapa: he whawhai whakangaueue hoki tana whawhai ki a ratou.

And every stroke with his punishing club, which YHWH will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.

33 No mua iho hoki a Topete i whakaritea ai; ae ra, kua rite mo te kingi; kua oti te whakahohonu, te whakanui: ko tona puranga he ahi, nui atu hoki te wahie; ko te manawa o Ihowa, ano he awa whanariki, hei whakangiha.

For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, for the king it is made ready. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. YHWH's breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
