Ihaia 52
1 Maranga, maranga; kakahuria tou kaha, e Hiona; kakahuria ou kahu whakapaipai, e Hiruharama, e te pa tapu! no te mea heoi ano haerenga mai ki a koe o te mea kokotikore, o te mea poke.
Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion. Put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city. For henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Ruperupea atu te puehu i a koe, whakatika, noho iho, e Hiruharama: wetekina nga here i tou kaki, e te tamahine herehere a Hiona.
Shake thyself from the dust. Arise, sit up, O Jerusalem. Loose thyself from the bonds of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Kua hokona kautia atu koutou; na ehara i te moni mana koutou e whakahoki mai.
For thus says Jehovah: Ye were sold for nothing, and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, I haere atu taku iwi ki Ihipa i mua, ki reira noho ai; na kahore he rawa i whakatupuria kinotia ai ratou e te Ahiriana.
For thus says the lord Jehovah, My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there. And the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
5 Na he aha ra taku i konei, e ai ta Ihowa; ka kahakina kautia atu nei hoki taku iwi? tangi aue ana i o ratou rangatira, e ai ta Ihowa, e whakahaweatia tonutia ana toku ingoa i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
Now therefore, what do I do here, says Jehovah, seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them howl, says Jehovah, and because of you my name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.
6 Mo konei ka mohio taku iwi ki toku ingoa: mo konei ka mohio ratou i taua ra ko ahau te korero nei; nana, ko ahau tenei.
Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks, Behold, it is I.
7 Ano te ahuareka o nga waewae i runga i nga maunga o te kaikawe i te rongo pai, e kauwhau ana i te maunga rongo; e kawe mai ana i te rongo whakahari o te pai, e kauwhau ana i te ora; e mea ana ki a Hiona, E kingi ana tou Atua!
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Thy God reigns!
8 Te reo o au tutei! ka maranga i a ratou te reo, ka waiata ngatahi; no te mea ka kite ratou he kanohi, he kanohi, ua whakahoki a Ihowa i Hiona.
The voice of thy watchmen! They lift up the voice; they sing together. For they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah returns to Zion.
9 Hamama, waiata ngatahi, e nga wahi o Hiruharama kua ururuatia; kua whakamarie hoki a Ihowa i tana iwi, kua hoko i Hiruharama.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem, for Jehovah has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Kua huhua te ringa tapu o Ihowa ki te aroaro o nga tauiwi katoa, a ka kite nga pito katoa o te ao i te whakaora a to tatou Atua.
Jehovah has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
11 Maunu, maunu, haere atu i reira: kaua e pa ki te mea poke; haere atu i roto i a ia; kia ma, e nga kai mau o nga oko a Ihowa.
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from there. Touch no unclean thing. Go ye out of the midst of her. Cleanse yourselves, ye who bear the vessels of Jehovah.
12 E kore hoki koutou e haere kaika, e kore hoki e haere pera i te whati; no te mea ka haere a Ihowa i to koutou aroaro; ko te Atua hoki o Iharaira hei hiku mo koutou.
For ye shall not go out in haste, nor shall ye go by flight. For Jehovah will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rearward.
13 Nana, ka mahi tupato taku pononga, ka whakatiketiketia ia, ka hapainga ki runga, a ka tiketike rawa atu.
Behold, my servant shall deal wisely. He shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
14 Pera i te tini i miharo ki a koe; i kino iho hoki tona kanohi i to te tangata, tona ahua i to nga tama a te tangata:
Just as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred, more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
15 Waihoki he maha nga iwi ka tauhiuhia e ia; a ka kopi te mangai o nga kingi ki a ia; no te mea ko nga mea kihai i korerotia ki a ratou ka kitea, ko nga mea kihai i rangona ka mohiotia.
so shall he sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which had not been told them they shall see, and that which they had not heard they shall understand.
