Ihaia 50
1 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kei hea ianei te pukapuka whakarere o to koutou whaea, i whakarerea ai ia e ahau? Ko wai ranei te tangata, i ahau ana moni, i hokona atu ai koutou e ahau ki a ia? Nana, he kino no koutou i hokona atu ai koutou, na a kout ou mahi whanoke ano i whakarerea ai to koutou whaea.
This is what the LORD says: “Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce with which I sent her away? Or to which of My creditors did I sell you? Look, you were sold for your iniquities, and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.
2 Na te aha i taku haerenga mai i kore ai he tangata, he aha i taku karangatanga i kore ai tetahi e oho ake? kua mutua koia toku ringa, te tau ai te araarai? kua kore ranei he kaha moku hei whakaora? Nana, maku, ma taku kupu riri, ka maroke ai te m oana, ka meinga ai nga awa hei koraha: piro ana o ratou ika i te waikore, ka mate hoki i te matewai.
Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to redeem you? Or do I lack the strength to deliver you? Behold, My rebuke dries up the sea; I turn the rivers into a desert; the fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst.
3 E whakakakahu ana ahau i nga rangi ki te mangu, uhia iho te taratara hei hipoki mo ratou.
I clothe the heavens in black and make sackcloth their covering.”
4 Kua homai ki ahau e te Ariki, e Ihowa, he arero matau, kia mohio ai ahau ki te ata ngarahu atu i te korero ki te tangata e mauiui ana. E whakaara ana ia i tenei ata, i tenei ata, e whakaara ana i toku taringa ki te whakarongo kia pera me ta te hu nga mohio.
The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of discipleship, to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning; He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
5 Kua oti te whakatuwhera e te Ariki, e Ihowa toku taringa, kihai hoki ahau i tutu, kihai i hoki whakamuri.
The Lord GOD has opened My ears, and I have not been rebellious, nor have I turned back.
6 Tukua atu ana e ahau toku tuara ki nga kaiwhiu, oku paparinga ki nga kaihutihuti; ko toku kanohi kihai i huna kei whakama, kei tuwhaina.
I offered My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who tore out My beard. I did not hide My face from scorn and spittle.
7 No te mea ka awhinatia mai ahau e te Ariki, e Ihowa; koia ahau te whakama ai; koia i whakamarotia ai e ahau toku kanohi ano he kiripaka; e mohio ana hoki ahau e kore ahau e whakama.
Because the Lord GOD helps Me, I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I will not be put to shame.
8 E tata ana te kaiwhakatikatika moku; ko wai hei whawhai ki ahau? kia tu ngatahi taua: ko wai he hoariri moku? kia tata mai ia ki ahau.
The One who vindicates Me is near. Who will dare to contend with Me? Let us confront each other! Who has a case against Me? Let him approach Me!
9 Nana, ko te Ariki, ko Ihowa, hei awhina moku; ko wai hei whakahe i ahau? Nana, ka tawhitotia katoatia ratou ano he kakahu, ka pau ratou i te purehurehu.
Surely the Lord GOD helps Me. Who is there to condemn Me? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moths will devour them.
10 Ko wai o koutou e wehi ana i a Ihowa, e rongo ana ki te reo o tana pononga; ko te tangata e haere ana i te pouri, kahore hoki he whakamarama, kia okioki ia ki te ingoa o Ihowa, kia taupuhipuhi atu ki tona Atua.
Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God.
11 Nana, e koutou katoa e tahu na i te ahi, e whitiki na i a koutou ki nga rama muramura; haere i te marama o ta koutou ahi, i nga rama muramura hoki i whakangihaia na e koutou. Tenei ta toku ringa mo koutou, ka takoto iho koutou me te tangi ano.
Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who array yourselves with firebrands, walk in the light of your fire and of the firebrands you have lit! This is what you will receive from My hand: You will lie down in a place of torment.
