Ihaia 66
1 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko te rangi toku torona, ko te whenua toku turanga waewae: kei hea te whare ka hanga nei e koutou moku? kei hea hoki te wahi hei okiokinga moku?
Thus saith the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool: what is this house that you will build to me? and what is this place of my rest?
2 Ko enei mea katoa hoki he mea hanga na toku ringa, a na kona enei mea katoa i oti ai, e ai ta Ihowa; ko tenei ia taku e titiro ai, ko te tangata e iti ana, kua maru te wairua, a e wiri ana ki taku kupu.
My hand made all these things, and all these things were made, saith the Lord. But to whom shall I have respect, but to him that is poor and little, and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my words?
3 Ko te tangata e patu ana i te kau, me te mea e tukituki ana i te tangata; te tangata he reme nei tana patunga tapu, me te mea he kaki kuri e poutoa ana e ia; te tangata e whakaeke ana i te whakahere, me te mea e whakaeke ana i te toto poaka; te t angata e tahu ana i te whakakakara, me te mea e manaaki ana i te whakapakoko. Ae ra, kua whiriwhiria e ratou o ratou ara, e ahuareka ana hoki to ratou wairua ki a ratou mea whakarihariha.
He that sacrificeth an ox, is as if he slew a man: he that killeth a sheep in sacrifice, as if he should brain a dog: he that offereth an oblation, as if he should offer swine’s blood; he that remembereth incense, as if he should bless an idol. All these things have they chosen in their ways, and their soul is delighted in their abominations.
4 Ka whiriwhiria ano e ahau o ratou whakaaro horihori, a ka kawea a ratou i wehi ai ki runga ki a ratou; no te mea i karanga ahau, a kihai tetahi i whakao mai, i korero ahau, a kihai ratou i rongo; heoi mahia ana e ratou te kino i taku tirohanga, a whiriwhiria ana e ratou te mea kihai i paingia e ahau.
Wherefore I also will choose their mockeries, and will bring upon them the things they feared: because I called, and there was none that would answer; I have spoken, and they heard not; and they have done evil in my eyes, and have chosen the things that displease me.
5 Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e te hunga e wiri ana ki tana kupu; Ko o koutou tuakana i kino ra ki a koutou, i pei ra i a koutou, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, i mea, Kia whakakororiatia a Ihowa, kia kite hoki matou i to koutou koa; na ka whakama r atou.
Hear the word of the Lord, you that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, and cast you out for my name’s sake, have said: Let the Lord be glorified, and we shall see in your joy: but they shall be confounded.
6 He reo, he ngangau, kei te pa, he reo kei te temepara, ko te reo o Ihowa e whakautu ana i ona hoariri.
A voice of the people from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord that rendereth recompense to his enemies.
7 Kiano ia i whakamamae, kua whanau; kiano i pa ona mamae, kua whanau he tane.
Before she was in labour, she brought forth; before her time came to be delivered, she brought forth a man child.
8 Ko wai i rongo i te penei? ko wai i kite i nga mea penei? E whakamamae ranei te whenua i te ra kotahi? e whanau ranei te iwi i te meatanga kotahi? whakamamae kau hoki a Hiona, kua whanau ana tama.
Who hath ever heard such a thing? and who hath seen the like to this? shall the earth bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be brought forth at once, because Sion hath been in labour, and hath brought forth her children?
9 Tera ranei e meinga e ahau kia taka te ara, a kia kaua e whanau? e ai ta Ihowa; ka meinga ranei e ahau kia whanau, a kopia iho te kopu? e ai ta tou Atua.
Shall not I that make others to bring forth children, myself bring forth, saith the Lord? shall I, that give generation to others, be barren, saith the Lord thy God?
10 Kia koa tahi me Hiruharama, whakamanamana ki a ia, e te hunga katoa e aroha ana ki a ia; kia hari tahi me ia, kia hari, e te hunga katoa e tangi ana ki a ia.
Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her.
11 He mea hoki ka ngote koutou, a ka makona i te u, ara i ana whakamarie, he mea hoki ka whakatete koutou, a ka ora te ngakau i te nui o tona kororia.
That you may suck, and be filled with the breasts of her consolations: that you may milk out, and flow with delights, from the abundance of her glory.
12 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ano he awa te rangimarie ka horahia atu e ahau ki a ia; ano he waipuke te kororia o nga tauiwi: ko reira koutou ngote ai; ka hikitia koutou ki ona kaokao, ka poipoia ki ona turi.
For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, and upon the knees they shall caress you.
13 Ka rite hoki ki te tangata e whakamarietia ana e tona whaea, ka whakamarie ano ahau ki a koutou; ka whai whakamarietanga ano koutou i roto i Huriharama.
As one whom the mother caresseth, so will I comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 Ka kite koutou i tenei, ka koa o koutou ngakau; ko o koutou whenua, koia ano kei te otaota te tupu; a ka mohiotia te ringa o Ihowa ki ana pononga, tona riri ki ona hoariri.
You shall see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb, and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants, and he shall be angry with his enemies.
15 Nana, ka haere mai a Ihowa me te ahi, ko ona hariata koia ano kei te tukauati; ki te tuku i tona riri i runga i te weriweri, i tana whakatupehupehu i roto i nga mura ahi.
For behold the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind, to render his wrath in indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 No te mea he ahi ta Ihowa, me tana hoari ano, ina totohe ia ki nga kikokiko katoa, ka tokomaha ano nga tupapaku a Ihowa.
For the Lord shall judge by fire, and by his sword unto all flesh, and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
17 Ko te hunga e whakatapu ana i a ratou, e pure ana i a ratou i nga kari, e whai ana i tetahi i waenganui, ko te hunga e kai ana i te kikokiko poaka, i te mea whakarihariha, i te kiore, ka pau ngatahi ratou, e ai ta Ihowa.
They that were sanctified, and thought themselves clean in the gardens behind the gate within, they that did eat swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
18 E mohio ana hoki ahau ki a ratou mahi, ki o ratou whakaaro. Tenei ake ka huihuia e ahau nga iwi katoa, nga reo, a ka haere mai ratou, ka kite i toku kororia.
But I know their works, and their thoughts: I come that I may gather them together with all nations and tongues: and they shall come and shall see my glory.
19 Ka meinga ano e ahau he tohu ki roto i a ratou, ka unga ano e ahau o ratou morehu ki nga iwi, ki Tarahihi, ki Puru, ki Ruru, ki te hunga kukume kopere, ki Tupara, ki Iawana, ki nga motu i tawhiti kihai nei i rongo ki toku rongo, kihai ano i kite i toku kororia; a ka whakaaturia e ratou toku kororia i roto i nga tauiwi.
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send of them that shall be saved, to the Gentiles into the sea, into Africa, and Lydia them that draw the bow: into Italy, and Greece, to the islands afar off, to them that have not heard of me, and have not seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory to the Gentiles:
20 Ka kawea mai ano e ratou o koutou teina katoa i roto i nga iwi katoa hei whakahere ki a Ihowa, i runga i te hoiho, i te hariata, i te amo, i te muera, i te kamera tere, ki toku maunga tapu ki Hiruharama, e ai ta Ihowa; ka rite ki ta nga tama a I haraira e kawe nei i te whakahere i roto i te oko ma ki te whare o Ihowa.
And they shall bring all your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as if the children of Israel should bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
21 Ka tango hoki ahau i etahi o ratou hei tohunga, hei Riwaiti, e ai ta Ihowa.
And I will take of them to be priests, and Levites, saith the Lord.
22 Ka rite hoki ki te rangi hou, ki te whenua hou, ka hanga nei e ahau, a ka pumau tonu ki toku aroaro, e ai ta Ihowa, ka pera te pumau o to koutou uri, o to koutou ingoa.
For as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make to stand before me, saith the Lord: so shall your seed stand, and your name.
23 A tenei ake ka haere mai nga kikokiko katoa i tenei marama, i tenei marama, i tenei hapati, i tenei hapati, ki te koropiko ki toku aroaro, e ai ta Ihowa.
And there shall be month after month, and sabbath after sabbath: and all flesh shall come to adore before my face, saith the Lord.
24 A ka haere atu ratou, ka matakitaki ki nga tinana o nga tangata i he nei ki ahau: e kore hoki to ratou kutukutu e mate, e kore ano to ratou ahi e tineia, a hei mea whakarihariha ratou ki nga kikokiko katoa.
And they shall go out, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched: and they shall be a loathsome sight to all flesh.
