Ihaia 33
1 Aue te mate mou e pahua nei, a kihai koe i pahuatia; e tinihanga nei, a kihai ano koe i tinihangatia! kia mutu tau pahua, ka pahuatia ano koe: kia mutu tau tinihanga, ka tinihangatia koe.
Woe to thee that wastest, while thou wast not wasted; and traitor, while men dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt have made an end of wasting, thou shalt be wasted, and when thou shalt have finished to deal treacherously, men shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 Kia atawhai, e Ihowa, ki a matou; kua tatari nei matou ki a koe: ko koe hei ringa mo ratou i tenei ata, i tenei ata, hei whakaora mo matou i nga wa o te raru.
O Lord, be gracious; we have waited for thee: be thou their support every morning, also our salvation in the time of trouble.
3 I te rongonga i te ngangau, whati ana nga iwi: i tou aranga ki runga, marara ana nga iwi.
At the noise of [thy] thunder people fled; when thou liftedst thyself up nations were scattered.
4 Ko te kohikohinga o o koutou taonga ano he moka e kohi ana; kei te tarapeke o te mawhitiwhiti te rite ina kokiritia e ratou.
And your spoil shall be gathered as the cricket gathereth: as locusts run about, so shall people hasten after it.
5 Ka whakanuia a Ihowa; kei runga hoki tona nohoanga; nana a Hiona i ki ai i te whakawa, i te tika.
The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high; he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 A ka u nga wa i a koe; hua tonu te whakaora, te whakaaro nui, te matauranga; ko te wehi ki a Ihowa hei taonga mona.
And the stability of thy times and the strength of thy happiness shall be wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
7 Nana, he tangi o ratou maia i waho; ko nga karere hohou rongo, tiwerawera ana te tangi.
Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 Kua ururuatia nga ara, kua kore e haerea e te tangata: kua paheke i a ia te kawenata, whakahawea ana ia ki nga pa: kahore te tangata e whakaaroa e ia.
The highways lie waste, ceased hath the wayfaring traveler: he hath broken the covenant, he despiseth cities, he regardeth not man.
9 E tangi ana te whenua, ngohe noa iho; kua whakama a Repanona, kua memenga; a Harono, rite tonu ki te koraha; ko nga rau o Pahana, o Karamere, ruirui rawa.
It mourneth, it languisheth—the land: Lebanon is ashamed, it is withered away; Sharon is become like a wilderness; and bereft of their fruits are Bashan and Carmel.
10 Katahi ahau ka whakatika, e ai ta Ihowa; katahi ahau ka whakarewa ake i ahau, katahi ahau ka neke ake.
Now will I arise, saith the Lord; now will I raise myself; now will I lift myself up.
11 Ko to koutou hapu he papapa, whanau ake he kakau witi; ko to koutou manawa, ka rite ki te ahi, ka kai i a koutou.
Ye shall be pregnant with hay, [and] ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire, which shall devour you.
12 Ka rite hoki nga iwi ki nga tahunga kotakota; ki te tataramoa kua tapahia, e tahuna ana ki te ahi.
And the people shall be burnt as lime: as cut-off thorns shall they blaze up in fire.
13 Whakarongo, e koutou o tawhiti, ki taku i mea ai; e te hunga e tata ana, kia mohio mai ki toku kaha.
Hear, ye distant ones, what I have done; and acknowledge ye that are near my might.
14 Pawera noa iho nga tangata hara i Hiona, mau pu te hunga atuakore i te tuiri. Ko wai o tatou e noho ki te ahi e kai ana? ko wai o tatou e noho ki nga tahunga e kore nei e mutu?
In Zion sinners are in dread; trembling hath seized on hypocrites. “Who among us shall abide with the devouring fire? who among us shall abide with everlasting burnings?”
15 Ko te tangata e haere ana i runga i te tika, he tika ano ana korero; ko te tangata e whakahawea ana ki nga taonga o te tukino, e rukerukea ana e tona ringa te utu whakapati; e punia ana ona taringa kei rangona he korero toto, e whakamoe ana i on a kanohi kei kite i te kino;
He that walketh in righteousness, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands against taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears against hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes against looking on evil;
16 Ko te nohoanga mo tera kei runga rawa; ko tona wahi arai riri ko nga kaha o nga kamaka: ka homai he taro mana, ka pumau te wai mona.
He shall dwell on high; rocky strongholds shall be his refuge: his bread shall be given him; his water shall be sure.
17 Ka kite ou kanohi i te kingi, i tona ataahua: ka matakitaki ano ki te whenua e hora mai ana i tawhiti.
The king in his beauty shall thy eyes behold: they shall see a far-off land.
18 Ka whakaaroaroa te wehi e tou ngakau: kei hea te kaitatau, kei hea te kaipauna takoha? kei hea te kaitatau o nga pourewa?
Thy heart shall meditate [on past] terror. “Where is who wrote down? where is he that weighed? where is he that counted the towers?”
19 E kore koe e kite i te iwi nanakia, he hohonu nei to ratou reo, kahore e rangona e koe; he rereke te reo, e kore e matauria e koe.
The barbarous people shalt thou not see any more, the people of a speech too obscure to be understood, of a stammering tongue, without meaning.
20 Titiro ki Hiona, ki te pa o a tatou hakari: ka kitea e ou kanohi a Hiruharama, he nohoanga humarie, he teneti, e kore e nekehia; e kore tetahi o ona titi e unuhia a ake ake, e kore ano tetahi o ona taura e motu.
Look on Zion, the town of our solemn assemblies; thy eyes shall see Jerusalem as an undisturbed residence, a tent that shall not be struck for removal; not one of the stakes of which shall ever be moved, and all the cords of which shall never be torn loose.
21 Engari ki reira a Ihowa ki a tatou me tona nui, hei wahi mo nga awa whanui mo nga wai nunui; kahore hoki he waka e hoehoea ki reira, kahore he kaipuke nui e tika na reira.
But there will the Lord [show himself] mighty unto us, [in] a place of rivers and streams of ample breadth; wherein no oared galley shall go, and a gallant ship shall not pass thereby.
22 No te mea ko Ihowa to tatou kaiwhakawa, ko Ihowa to tatou kaiwhakatakoto tikanga, ko Ihowa to tatou kingi; mana tatou e whakaora.
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.
23 Kua tangoro kau ou puwhenua, te taea te turanga o to ratou rewa te whakau, te taea te ra te whewhera: na nui atu te taonga parakete e wehewehea ana, pahuatia ana nga taonga parau e nga kopa.
Loose hang thy tacklings; they cannot well uphold strongly their mast, they cannot spread the sail. Then are divided booty and spoil in abundance, [even] the lame take the booty.
24 Kahore hoki he kianga ake a te tangata whenua, He mate toku; ko te iwi e noho ana i reira, ka murua to ratou he.
And no inhabitant shall say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be one whose iniquity is forgiven.
