Ihaia 63
1 Ko wai tenei e haere mai nei i Eroma, he mea rongoa mai nga kakahu i Potora? tenei he kororia rawa nei ona kakahu, e haere ana i runga i te nui o tona kaha? Ko ahau e korero atu nei i runga i te tika, ko te mea kaha ki te whakaora.
Who is this coming from Edom, from the town of Bozrah with clothes stained crimson? Who is this wearing robes of splendor, leaning forward in his great strength as he marches? It is me, the one who always speaks goodness and truth, the one who has the power to save.
2 He aha i whero ai ou kakahu? i rite ai ou weweru ki o te kaitakahi i te takahanga waina?
Why are your clothes red, like you've been treading grapes in a winepress?
3 Na toku kotahi te takahanga waina i takahi, kahore hoki he tangata o te iwi hei hoa moku: takahia iho ratou e ahau, he riri noku; takatakahia ana ratou e ahau ki raro, i ahau e weriweri ana; pati ana o ratou toto ki oku weruweru, whakapokea iho e ahau toku kakahu katoa.
I've been treading the winepress by myself; from the nations around no one came to help me. So in my anger I trod them down as if they were grapes, in my fury I trampled them. It's their blood that has stained my clothes.
4 Kei roto hoki i toku ngakau te ra o te rapu utu; kua tae mai ano te tau o aku i hoko ai.
For I decided this was the day of my vengeance; the year of my redemption has come.
5 Na ka titiro atu ahau, a kahore he kaiawhina, miharo ana ahau no te mea kahore he kaitautoko ake: na kua meatia e toku takakau, he whakaoranga moku; ko toku weriweri, na tera ahau i tautoko ake.
I looked around, but no one came to help; I was shocked that there was no one to assist me. So I saved them through my own strength alone, and my own anger kept me going.
6 Na takahia ana e ahau nga iwi i ahau e riri nei; i ahau ano e weriweri ana ka whakahaurangitia ratou e ahau, a ringihia ana e ahau to ratou toto ki te whenua.
I trampled down the nations in my anger; in my fury I made them drunk, and spilled their blood upon the ground.
7 Ka whakahuatia e ahau nga mahi aroha a Ihowa, nga whakamoemiti ki e Ihowa, ka rite ki nga mea i homai e Ihowa, ki a tatou; ki te nui hoki o te pai ki te whare o Iharaira i homai nei e ia ki a ratou; he mea i rite tonu ki ana mahi tohu tangata, ki te nui ano o ana mahi aroha.
I want to tell everyone about the Lord's trustworthy love. I will praise the Lord for everything he's done for us—all the good things he has done for the descendants of Israel because of his kindness and his infinite trustworthy love.
8 I mea hoki ia, He pono, ko taku iwi ratou, he tamariki e kore e korero teka: na ko ia to ratou kaiwhakaora.
He said, “Aren't they my people, children who wouldn't lie to me?” So he became their Savior.
9 I o ratou pouritanga ngakau katoa i pouri ano ia, a whakaorangia ake ratou e te anahera o tona aroaro; he aroha nona, he mahi tohu tangata i hoko ai ia i a ratou, hikitia ana ratou, whakahaereerea ana i nga ra katoa onamata.
He suffered with them in all their suffering, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and kindness he redeemed them. He picked them up and carried them all throughout those years long ago.
10 Heoi whakakeke ana ratou, whakapouritia iho e ratou tona wairua tapu. Na ka puta ke ia hei hoariri mo ratou; kei te whawhai ano ia ki a ratou.
But they rebelled against him, and caused his Holy Spirit grief, so to them he became like an enemy and he fought against them.
11 Katahi ia ka mahara ki nga ra o mua, ki a Mohi, ki tana iwi, i mea ia, Kei hea ia nana ratou i kawe ake i te moana me nga hepara o tana kahuri? kei hea te kaiwhakanoho o tona wairua tapu ki waenganui i a ratou?
Then they thought back to the days of old when Moses led his people out of Egypt. They shouted out, “Where is the one who took Israel through the sea, along with the shepherds of his flock? Where is the one who placed his Holy Spirit among his people?
12 I arahi nei i a ratou, he meatanga na te ringa matau o Mohi, na tona takakau kororia? i wahi nei i nga wai i to ratou aroaro, hei mea i tetahi ingoa mona e mau tonu ana?
Where is the one who lifted Moses' right hand, and who used his amazing power to divided the sea in front of them, giving him such a wonderful, enduring reputation?
13 I arahi nei i a ratou i waenganui o te moana, ano he hoiho i te koraha, te hinga ratou?
Where is the one who led them through the depths of the sea?” They were like a horse running through the desert, they didn't stumble.
14 Kei te kararehe e haere ana ki raro ki te awaawa te rite, pera tonu ta te wairua o Ihowa meatanga i a ratou kia okioki: pera tonu tau arahanga i tau iwi, i whai ingoa kororia ai koe.
Like cattle descending into a valley, the Lord's Spirit gave them rest. This is how you led your people, earning a glorious reputation for yourself.
15 Titiro mai i runga i te rangi, matakitaki mai i runga i te nohoanga o tou tapu, o tou kororia; kei hea tou ngakau nui, me au mahi nunui? ko te ohoohonga o ou whekau, ko au mahi tohu ka pehia iho ki ahau.
Lord, look down on us from heaven! Watch from your high home, in your holiness and glory! Where is your enthusiasm and power? You're not showing me your feelings of sympathy and kindness!
16 He pono ko koe to matou papa, kahore nei hoki a Aperahama e mohio ki a matou, kahore ano hoki a Iharaira e mahara ki a matou: ko koe, e Ihowa, to matou papa; ko to matou kaihoko, nonamata mai tou ingoa.
But you are still our Father, even though Abraham wouldn't know us and Israel wouldn't acknowledge us. You, Lord, are our Father; you have always been called our Redeemer from long ago.
17 He aha koe, e Ihowa, i mea ai i a matou kia kotiti atu i au ara, whakapakeketia iho e koe o matou ngakau kia kaua e wehi ki a koe? Hoki mai, kia mahara ki au pononga, ki nga hapu o tou kainga pumau.
Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways, and make us stubborn so we don't respect you? Come back to us for the sake of your servants, the tribes that belong to you.
18 He iti nei te wa i mau ai taua kainga ki te iwi o tou tapu: e takatakahia ana tou wahi tapu e o matou hoariri.
Your Temple belonged to us for a little while, but then our enemies invaded and destroyed it.
19 Kua meinga matou kia rite ki te hunga kihai nei koe i kingi mo ratou; ki te hunga kihai nei i huaina ki tou ingoa.
We were yours from ancient times, but we've ended up like people you've never ruled, never identified as yours.
