Ihaia 48

1 Whakarongo ki tenei, e te whare o Hakopa, e te hunga kua huaina nei ko Iharaira hei ingoa mo koutou, kua puta ake nei i roto i nga wai o Hura; e whakaoati ana i te ingo o Ihowa, e whakahua ana i te Atua o Iharaira, ehara ia i te mea i runga i te pono, i te tika.

Hear ye these things, O house of Jacob, you that are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Juda, you who swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in justice.

2 Ki ta ratou karanga hoki, no te pa tapu ratou, e okioki ana hoki ki te Atua o Iharaira; ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa.

For they are called of the holy city, and are established upon the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name.

3 He mea whakaatu naku nonamata nga mea o mua; ae ra, i puta ano hoki aua mea i toku mangai, he mea korero naku; kitea rawatia ake kua mahia e ahau, kua puta.

The former things of old I have declared, and they went forth out of my mouth, and I have made them to be heard: I did them suddenly and they came to pass.

4 I mohio hoki ahau he pakeke koe, he uaua rino hoki tou kaki, he parahi tou rae;

For I knew that thou art stubborn, and thy neck is as an iron sinew, and thy forehead as brass.

5 Na reira naku i whakaatu ki a koe inamata; kiano i puta kua korerotia e ahau ki a koe: kei ki koe, Na taku whakapakoko ena mahi, he mea whakahau enei na te mea i whaowhaoa e ahau, na te mea i whakarewaina e ahau.

I foretold thee of old, before they came to pass I told thee, lest thou shouldst say: My idols have done these things, and my graven and molten things have commanded them.

6 Kua rongo koe; tirohia tenei katoa: a e kore ianei e whakaaturia e koutou? Kua korerotia nei e ahau ki a koe he mea hou, he mea i muri i tenei wa, he mea huna, kihai i mohiotia e koe;

See now all the things which thou hast heard: but have you declared them? I have shewn thee new things from that time, and things are kept which thou knowest not:

7 He mea hanga nonaianei, kahore hoki inamata: i mua i tenei ra kihai i rangona e koutou; kei ki koe, Nana, i mohiotia e ahau.

They are created now, and not of old: and before the day, when thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldst say: Behold I knew them.

8 Ae ra, kihai koe i rongo, kihai i mohio; ae ra, mai o mua kihai tou taringa i whakapuaretia: i mohio hoki ahau i mahi tinihanga koe, a no te kopu ano koe i huaina ai he poka ke.

Thou hast neither heard, nor known, neither was thy ear opened of old. For I know that transgressing thou wilt transgress, and I have called thee a transgressor from the womb.

9 Ka whakaaro ahau ki toku ingoa, a ka puhoi toku riri; ka whakaaro ki te whakamoemiti ki ahau, a ka pehi i taku ki a koe, kei hatepea atu koe.

For my name’s sake I will remove my wrath far off: and for my praise I will bridle thee, lest thou shouldst perish.

10 Kua oti ou para te tahi e ahau, ehara ia i te mea hei hiriwa; he mea whiriwhiri koe naku i roto i te oumu, i te tangi.

Behold I have refined thee, but not as silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of poverty.

11 He whakaaro ki ahau, he whakaaro ki ahau, i meatia ai tenei e ahau: kia whakapokea koia toku ingoa? e kore ano toku kororia e hoatu e ahau ki tetahi atu.

For my own sake, for my own sake will I do it, that I may not be blasphemed: and I will not give my glory to another.

12 Whakarongo ki ahau, e Hakopa, e Iharaira, e taku i karanga ai; ko ahau ia, ko ahau te tuatahi, ko ahau ano te mutunga.

Hearken to me, O Jacob, and thou Israel whom I call: I am he, I am the first, and I am the last.

13 Ae ra, na toku ringa i whakatakoto nga turanga o te whenua, na toku matau i hora nga rangi; ki te karangatia ratou e ahau, ka tu ngatahi ratou.

My hand also hath founded the earth, and my right hand hath measured the heavens: I shall call them, and they shall stand together.

14 Huihui mai, e koutou katoa, whakarongo hoki; na wai o ratou enei mea i whakaatu? He mea aroha ia na Ihowa; ka oti i a ia tana i pai ai ki Papurona, ka pa ano tona ringa ki nga Karari.

Assemble yourselves together, all you, and hear: who among them hath declared these things? the Lord hath loved him, he will do his pleasure in Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

15 Naku, naku te kupu, ae ra, he mea karanga ia naku, naku ia i kawe mai, ka tika ano i a ia tona ara.

I, even I have spoken and called him: I have brought him, and his way is made prosperous.

16 Whakatata mai ki ahau, whakarongo ki tenei; ko taku, no te timatanga ra ano ehara i te korero puku: i nga wa o aua mea, i reira ahau; na, inaianei na te Ariki, na Ihowa ahau i unga mai, na tona wairua ano.

Come ye near unto me, and hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: from the time before it was done, I was there, and now the Lord God hath sent me, and his spirit.

17 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a tou kaihoko, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, Ko Ihowa ahau, ko tou Atua e whakaako nei i a koe ki te pai mou, e arahi nei i a koe i te ara e haere ai koe.

Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord thy God that teach thee profitable things, that govern thee in the way that thou walkest.

18 Aue, me i rongo koe ki aku whakahau, ina, kua rite ki te awa te mau o te rongo ki a koe; ko tou tika, koia ano kei nga ngaru o te moana.

O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments: thy peace had been as a river, and thy justice as the waves of the sea,

19 Kua rite ano ou uri ki te onepu, nga whanau o ou whekau ki te kirikiri o reira; ko tona ingoa kihai i hatepea atu, kihai i whakangaromia i toku aroaro.

And thy seed had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof: his name should not have perished, nor have been destroyed from before my face.

20 Haere atu i Papurona, e rere i roto i nga Karari; kia waiata te reo i a koutou e whakaatu ana; korerotia tenei, whakapuakina ki te pito o te whenua; ki atu, Kua oti i a Ihowa tana pononga, a Hakopa te hoko.

Come forth out of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, declare it with the voice of joy: make this to be heard, and speak it out even to the ends of the earth. Say: The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

21 Kihai ano ratou i matewai i a ia e arahi ana i a ratou i nga koraha; i meinga e ia te wai mo ratou kia rere i roto i te kamaka: i wahia e ia te kamaka, a pupu mai ana te wai.

They thirsted not in the desert, when he led them out: he brought forth water out of the rock for them, and he clove the rock, and the waters gushed out.

22 Kahore he maunga rongo ki te hunga kino, e ai ta Ihowa.

There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord.
