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 who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty 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 you red in your clothing, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
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 have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yes, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.
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 the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed 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, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my wrath, it upheld me.
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 trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth."
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 will make mention of the loving kindnesses of Jehovah and the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
8 I mea hoki ia, He pono, ko taku iwi ratou, he tamariki e kore e korero teka: na ko ia to ratou kaiwhakaora.
For he said, "Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely:" so he was 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.
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
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, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he himself 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 he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in their midst?
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?
who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13 I arahi nei i a ratou i waenganui o te moana, ano he hoiho i te koraha, te hinga ratou?
who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not 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.
As the livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused them to rest; so you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
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.
Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where are your zeal and your mighty acts? the yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.
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.
For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn't know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us: you, Jehovah, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
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.
Jehovah, why do you make us to stray from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
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 holy people possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
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 have become as they over whom you never bear rule, as those who were not called by your name.
