Ihaia 5
1 Na, me waiata e ahau he waiata na taku i aroha nei mo taku i kaingakau ai, he mea mo tana mara waina. He mara waina ta taku kaingakau i tetahi pukepuke momona:
Now I will sing to [my] beloved a song of my beloved concerning my vineyard. [My] beloved had a vineyard on a high hill in a fertile place.
2 Na taiepatia ana e ia, kohikohia ana e ia nga kohatu o reira, whakatokia ana e ia ki te waina pai rawa, hanga ana e ia he pourewa ki waenganui, keria ana ano e ia he poka waina ki reira: a ka tatari ia kia whai karepe, na ka hua mai he karepe mao ri.
And I made a hedge round it, and dug a trench, and planted a choice vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and dug a place for the wine-vat in it: and I waited [for it] to bring forth grapes, and it brought forth thorns.
3 Na, e te hunga e noho nei i Hiruharama, me nga tangata o Hura, whakaritea ta maua whakawa ko taku mara waina.
And now, ye dwellers in Jerusalem, and [every] man of Juda, judge between me and my vineyard.
4 Ko te aha ake ano ra i ahei kia mahia ki taku mara, kihai i mahia e ahau ki reira? he aha ra, i ahau i tatari ai kia hua mai he karepe, i puta ke mai ai he karepe maori?
What shall I do any more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it? Whereas I expected [it] to bring forth grapes, but it has brought forth thorns.
5 Na inaianei maku e whakaatu ki a koutou taku e mea ai ki taku mara waina: Ka tangohia atu e ahau tona pa whakaruru hau, a ka pau ia te kai; ka tukitukia hoki e ahau tona taiepa, a ka takatakahia:
And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be for a spoil; and I will pull down its walls, and it shall be [left] to be trodden down.
6 A ka meinga e ahau kia ururua; e kore e tapatapahia, e kore e ngakia; engari ka huaranga ake te tataramoa me te tumatakuru: ka ako atu hoki ahau ki nga kapua kia kaua te ua e uaina ki reira.
And I will forsake my vineyard; and it shall not be pruned, nor dug, and thorns shall come up upon it as on barren land; and I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon it.
7 Ko te mara waina hoki a Ihowa o nga mano, ko te whare o Iharaira, a ko nga tangata o Hura tana mea ahuareka i whakato ai: ka tatari ia ki te whakawa, na ko te tukino; ki te tika, na he aue.
For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Juda [his] beloved plant: I expected [it] to bring forth judgment, and it brought forth iniquity; and not righteousness, but a cry.
8 Aue te mate mo te hunga e hono ana i te whare ki te whare, e whakapiri nei i te mara ki te mara, a kore noa iho he wahi, a ka meinga koutou kia noho, ko koutou anake, i waenganui i te whenua.
Woe [to them] that join house to house, and add field to field, that they may take away something of their neighbor's: will ye dwell alone upon the land?
9 Ko ta Ihowa o nga mano tenei i hamumu ai ki oku taringa, He pono, he tini nga whare ka mokemoke, tona nunui, tona ataahua, ka noho tahanga kau.
For these things have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts: for though many houses should be built, many and fair houses shall be desolate, and there shall be no inhabitants in them.
10 No te mea kotahi tekau nga eka o te mara waina, ka maea ake kotahi tonu te pati: i ki te homa i te purapura, ka maea ake kotahi te epa.
For where ten yoke of oxen plough [the land] shall yield one jar-full, and he that sows six homers shall produce three measures.
11 Aue te mate mo te hunga e maranga wawe ana i te ata ki te whai i te wai kaha; e kawe ana i te roa o te po, nawai a ka tahuna e te waina!
Woe [to them] that rise up in the morning, and follow strong drink; who wait [at it till] evening: for the wine shall inflame them.
12 Ko te hapa me te hatere, ko te timipera me te putorino, ko te waina, kei a ratou hakari ena: heoi kahore a ratou mahara ki te mahi a Ihowa, kahore hoki he whakaaro ki te mahi a ona ringa.
For they drink wine with harp, and psaltery, and drums, and pipes: but they regard not the works of the Lord, and consider not the works of his hands.
13 Koia i riro ai toku iwi i te parau, he kore matauranga; ko o ratou tangata ingoa nui hoki kua hemo i te kai, a ko to ratou mano tini kua pakapaka rawa i te matewai.
Therefore my people have been taken captive, because they know not the Lord: and there has been a multitude of dead [bodies], because of hunger and of thirst for water.
14 Na reira te reinga i whakanui ai i tona hiahia, i whewhera noa atu ai i tona mangai; a heke atu ana ki reira to ratou kororia, o ratou mano tini, to ratou whakahi, me te tangata e whakamanamana ana i roto i a ratou. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore hell has enlarged its desire and opened its mouth without ceasing: and her glorious and great, and her rich and her pestilent men shall go down [into it]. (Sheol h7585)
15 Ka whakapikoa ano hoki te tangata ware, a ka whakaititia te tangata nui ka whakahokia iho hoki nga kanohi o te hunga whakakake:
And the mean man shall be brought low, and the great man shall be disgraced, and the lofty eyes shall be brought low.
16 Otiia ka whakanekehia ake a Ihowa o nga mano i runga i te whakawa, ka whakatapua ano te Atua, te Mea Tapu, i runga i te tika.
But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be glorified in righteousness.
17 Ko reira nga reme kai ai, ano kei to ratou wahi, a ka kainga e nga mea haere noa nga wahi kua ururuatia o te hunga tetere.
And they that were spoiled shall be fed as bulls, and lambs shall feed on the waste places of them that are taken away.
18 Aue te mate mo te hunga e kumea ana e ratou te he ki nga aho o te horihori, te hara hoki me te mea ki te taura o te kata:
Woe [to them] that draw sins to them as with a long rope, and iniquities as with a thong of the heifer's yoke:
19 E mea nei, Kia hihiko ia, kia hohoro tana mahi, kia kite ai matou: kia whakatata mai hoki, kia tae mai te whakaaro o te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, kia mohio ai matou.
who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know [it].
20 Aue te mate mo te hunga e mea nei ki te kino, he pai, ki te pai hoki, he kino; e mea nei i te pouri hei marama, i te marama hoki hei pouri; e mea nei i te kawa hei reka, i te reka hei kawa!
Woe [to them] that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.
21 Aue te mate mo te hunga he nui nei o ratou whakaaro ki ta ratou titiro, e mahara ana hoki he hunga mohio ratou!
Woe [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight.
22 Aue te mate mo te hunga kaha ki te inu waina, he hunga uaua ano ki te whakaranu i te wai kaha:
Woe to the strong [ones] of you that drink wine, and the mighty [ones] that mingle strong drink:
23 E whakatika nei i ta te tangata he, he whakaaro ki te utu; e tango atu nei i te tika o te tangata tika.
who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous.
24 Mo reira ka rite ki te kainga a te arero o te ahi i te kakau witi, ki te hinganga o te otaota maroke ki roto ki te mura; ka pera to ratou pakiaka te pirau, ka rere to ratou puawai ki runga, ano he puehu: mo ratou i whakakahore ki te ture a Ihowa o nga mano, i whakahawea ano hoki ki te kupu a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
Therefore as stubble shall be burnt by a coal of fire, and shall be consumed by a violent flame, their root shall be as chaff, and their flower shall go up as dust: for they rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and insulted the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Na reira te riri o Ihowa i mura ai ki tana iwi, a kua torona e ia tona ringa ki te whawhai ki a ratou, a patua iho ratou e ia; i ngaueue nga maunga, a ko o ratou tinana mate me te mea he paru i waenganui o nga huarahi. Na ahakoa tenei katoa, kah ore tona riri i te tahuri atu, maro tonu tona ringa.
Therefore the Lord of hosts was greatly angered against his people, and he reached forth his hand upon them, and smote them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcasses were as dung in the midst of the way: yet for all this his anger has not been turned away, but his hand is yet raised.
26 Ka whakaarahia ano hoki e ia he kara ki nga iwi i tawhiti; ka whiowhio ano ki a ratou ki te pito o te whenua. Nana, ka hohoro, ka tere tonu ta ratou haere mai.
Therefore shall he lift up a signal to the nations that are afar, and shall hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they are coming very quickly.
27 E kore tetahi o ratou e ngenge, e kore e tapepa te waewae; e kore tetahi e parangia, e kore e moe; e kore te whitiki o o ratou hope e mawheto, e kore ano te here o o ratou hu e motu.
They shall not hunger nor be weary, neither shall they slumber nor sleep; neither shall they loose their girdles from their loins, neither shall their shoe-latchets be broken.
28 Ko a ratou pere, koi tonu, he piko katoa a ratou kopere; ko nga paua o o ratou hoiho ka kiia he mata, a ko o ratou wira he awhiowhio:
Whose arrows are sharp, and their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are counted as solid rock: their chariot-wheels are as a storm.
29 Ko ta ratou hamama, koia ano kei ta te raiona, ka hamama ratou ano he kuao raiona: ae ra, ka ngaengere ratou, ka hopukina: ae ra, ka ngengere ratou, ka hopukina ta ratou tupapaku, kawhakina tonutia atu, kahore hoki he tangata hei whakaora.
They rage as lions, and draw nigh as a lion's whelps: and he shall seize, and roar as a wild beast, and he shall cast [them] forth, and there shall be none to deliver them.
30 Na ka hamama ratou ki a ratou i taua ra, me te mea ko te moana e haruru ana: a, ki te titiro tetahi ki te whenua, nana, he pouri me te tuatea, a kua pouri te marama i ona kapua.
And he shall roar on account of them in that day, as the sound of the swelling sea; and they shall look to the land, and, behold, [there shall be] thick darkness in their perplexity.
