Ihaia 34
1 Whakatata mai, e nga iwi, kia rongo ai, kia whai taringa mai, e nga iwi: kia rongo te whenua, me nga mea e hua ana i runga, te ao, me nga mea katoa e puta ana i roto i a ia.
O nations and peoples: draw near, and listen, and pay attention! Let the earth and its fullness hear, the entire world and all its offspring.
2 Kei runga hoki i nga iwi katoa te riri o Ihowa, tona weriweri kei runga i o ratou ope katoa: ngaro rawa i a ia, tukua ana kia patua.
For the indignation of the Lord is over all the nations, and his fury is over all their armies. He has put them to death, and he has given them over to slaughter.
3 Ka akiritia atu ano o ratou tupapaku i patua, ka puta ake hoki te piro o o ratou tinana, a ka rewa nga maunga i o ratou toto.
Their slain will be cast out, and from their carcasses a foul odor will rise up. The mountains will languish because of their blood.
4 Na ka memeha nga ope katoa o te rangi, ko nga rangi, koia ano kei te pukapuka i pokaia; ko o ratou ope katoa ka whakangaro haere, koia ano kei te rau waina ka marere nei, kei te rau piki e marere ana i runga i te rakau piki.
And the entire army of the heavens will languish, and the heavens will be folded like a book. And their entire army will fall away, as a leaf falls from the vine or from the fig tree.
5 Kua inu hoki taku hoari, makona ana, i te rangi: nana, ka tae iho ki a Eroma, ki te iwi i kanga e ahau, ki te whakarite whakawa.
“For my sword in heaven has been inebriated. Behold, it will descend upon Idumea, and upon the people of my slaughter, unto judgment.”
6 Ki tonu te hoari a Ihowa i te toto; kua momona i te ngako, i te toto o nga reme, o nga koati, i te ngako o nga whatukuhu o nga hipi toa; he patunga tapu hoki ta Ihowa i Potora, he parekura nui i te whenua o Eroma.
The sword of the Lord has been filled with blood. It has been thickened by the blood of lambs and he-goats, by the innermost blood of rams. For the victim of the Lord is in Bozrah, and a great slaughter is in the land of Edom.
7 A ka haere tahi mai i roto i a ratou nga kau maka, nga kau okiha ratou ko nga puru; a ka haurangi to ratou whenua i te toto, ka momona to ratou puehu i te ngako.
And the single-horned beasts will descend with them, and the bulls along with the mighty. Their land will be inebriated by blood, and their ground by the fat of their lazy ones.
8 Ko te ra hoki ia o ta Ihowa rapu utu, ko te tau whakautu mo ta Hiona totohe.
For this is the day of the vengeance of the Lord, the year of retribution for the judgment of Zion.
9 A ka puta ke ona awa hei kapia, ko tona puehu hei whanariki; na, ko tona whenua, he kapia e ka ana!
And its torrents will be turned into tar, and its soil into sulfur. And its land will become burning tar.
10 E kore e tineia i te po, i te ao; ka kake tona paowa ake ake: i tera whakatupuranga, i tera whakatupuranga ka takoto he ururua kau; e kore tetahi tangata e tika na reira a ake tonu atu.
Night and day, it will not be extinguished; its smoke will rise up without ceasing. From generation to generation it will remain desolate. No one will pass through it, forever and ever.
11 Ka riro ano a reira hei kainga mo te kawau, mo te matuku; ka noho ano te ruru raua ko te raweni ki reira, ka whakamarokia ano hoki e ia te taura o te pororaru ki runga, me te kohatu whakatika o te kore noa iho.
The pelican and the hedgehog will possess it. And the ibis and the raven will live in it. And a measuring line will be extended over it, so that it may be reduced to nothing, and a plumb line, unto desolation.
12 Ka karangatia ona rangatira kia whakakingitia, kahore tetahi e tae mai; a ka kore noa iho ona rangatira katoa.
Its nobles will not be in that place. Instead, they will call upon the king, and all its leaders will be as nothing.
13 A ka tupu te tataramoa ki ona whare kingi, he ongaonga, he tumatakuru ki ona pa kaha, a ka waiho hei nohoanga mo te kirehe mohoao, hei marae mo te oteriti.
And thorns and nettles will rise up in its houses, and the thistle in its fortified places. And it will be the lair of serpents and the pasture of ostriches.
14 Ko nga kuri mohoao o te koraha ka tutaki ki nga wuruhi, ka karanga te mea ahua koati ki tona hoa; ka takoto ano te ngarara haere po ki reira, ka kitea he okiokinga mona ki reira.
And demons and monsters will meet, and the hairy ones will cry out to one another. There, the ogress has lain down and found rest for herself.
15 Ka hanga ano e te ruru nui tona kohanga ki reira, whanau iho, pao iho nga hua, whakamine ano ki raro i tona taumarumarunga iho: ka huihui ano ki reira nga whatura, ratou ko tana tane, ko tana tane.
In that place, the hedgehog has kept its den, and has raised its young, and has dug around them, and has kept them warm in its shadow. In that place, the birds of prey have joined together, one to another.
16 Rapua i roto i ta Ihowa pukapuka, korerotia hoki; e kore tetahi o enei e ngaro, e kore tetahi o enei e hapa i te tane mana; na toku mangai nei hoki te whakahau, ko tona wairua ano to ratou kaiwhakamine.
Search and read diligently in the book of the Lord. Not one of them was lacking; not one has sought for the other. For what has proceeded from my mouth, he has commanded, and his very Spirit has gathered them.
17 Nana hoki i maka te rota mo ta ratou, na tona ringa ano i wehewehe taua wahi mo ratou, mea rawa ki te aho: hei kainga a reira mo ratou a ake ake, ka nohoia a reira e ratou i tena whakatupuranga, i tena whakatupuranga.
And he has cast lots over them. And his hand has distributed this to them by measure. They will possess it, even unto eternity. From generation to generation, they will dwell in it.
