Ihaia 7
1 Na i nga ra o Ahata tama a Iotama, tama a Utia, kingi o Hura ka haere mai a Retini kingi o Hiria raua ko Peka tama a Remaria kingi o Iharaira ki Hiruharama tatau ai ki reira; kihai ia a reira i taea e raua.
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but they were not able to fight against it.
2 A ka korerotia ki te whare o Rawiri, ko Hiria kei te whakapiri ki a Eparaima. Na ka kapakapa tona ngakau, me te ngakau o tona iwi, ano ko nga rakau o te ngahere e ngarue ana i te hau.
And it was told the house of David saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. Then his heart and the heart of his people shook, as the trees of the forest are shaken with the wind.
3 Katahi a Ihowa ka mea ki a Ihaia, Tena, haere ki te whakatau i a Ahata, korua ko tau tama, ko Hearatahupu ki te pito o te awakeri o te puna wai i runga, ki te ara i te mara a te kaihoroi kakahu;
And Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, thou and thy son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field;
4 Ka mea ki a ia, Kia mahara, kia ata noho; kaua e wehi, kaua hoki tou ngakau e pawera ki nga pito e rua o enei ngotungotu e paowa nei, ki te riri nui o Retini ratou ko Hiria, o te tama hoki a Remaria.
and thou shalt say unto him, Take heed and be quiet; fear not, and let not thy heart faint before these two ends of smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 Na kua whakaaroa nei e Hiria, ratou ko Eparaima, ko te tama a Remaria, he kino mou, kua mea nei ratou,
Inasmuch as Syria hath taken evil counsel against thee, Ephraim [also] and the son of Remaliah, saying,
6 Tatou ka haere ki a Hura whakatupu kino ai i a ia, a ka wahi mai ai tatou i tetahi wahi ma tatou, ka whakakingi ai hoki i tetahi kingi i waenganui i a ia, ara i te tama a Tapeara:
Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, and make a breach therein for us, and set up a king therein — the son of Tabeal;
7 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, E kore e tu, e kore ano e taea.
thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall not stand, nor come to pass;
8 Ko te upoko hoki o Hiria ko Ramahiku, a ko te upoko o Ramahiku ko Retini: na i enei tau e ono tekau ma rima ka pakarukaru a Eparaima, kore ake tena iwi.
for the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years shall Ephraim be broken, so as to be no [more a] people;
9 Na ko te upoko o Eparaima ko Hamaria, ko te upoko hoki o Hamaria ko te tama a Remaria. Ki te kore koutou e whakapono, he pono e kore ta koutou e u.
and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established.
10 A i korero ano a Ihowa ki a Ahata, i mea,
And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
11 Inoia tetahi tohu mau i a Ihowa, i tou Atua; inoia he mea i te hohonu, i te wahi tiketike ranei i runga. (Sheol h7585)
Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God; ask for it in the deep, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
12 Ano ra ko Ahata, E kore ahau e inoi, e kore ano e whakamatautau i a Ihowa.
And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and will not tempt Jehovah.
13 Na ka ki tera, Tena, whakarongo e te whare o Rawiri; he mea iti ianei ki a koutou kia hoha nga tangata i ta koutou, i mea ai koutou kia hoha ano hoki toku Atua?
And he said, Hear then, house of David: Is it a small matter for you to weary men, that ye weary also my God?
14 Mo reira ma te Ariki ano e hoatu he tohu ki a koutou. Nana, ka hapu he wahine, ka whanau hoki he tama, a ka huaina e ia tona ingoa ko Emanuera.
Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel.
15 He pata, he honi, hei kai mana, ina mohio ia ki te paopao ki te kino, ki te whiriwhiri i te pai.
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
16 Mohio rawa hoki te tamaiti ki te paopao ki te kino, ki te whiriwhiri i te pai, ka mahue te whenua e whakariharihangia nei e koe ona kingi e rua.
For before the child knoweth to refuse the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings thou fearest shall be forsaken.
17 Tera e kawea mai e Ihowa ki a koe, ki tou iwi hoki, a ki te whare o tou papa, he ra kihai nei i tae mai, no te ra i mawehe ai a Eparaima i roto i a Hura; ara te kingi o Ahiria.
Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days which have not come since the day when Ephraim turned away from Judah — [even] the king of Assyria.
18 Na i taua ra ka whiowhio a Ihowa ki te ngaro i te wahi whakamutunga mai o nga awa o Ihipa, ki te pi ano hoki i te whenua o Ahiria.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly which is at the extremity of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria;
19 A ka rere mai ratou, ka tau katoa ki nga awaawa ka ururuatia nei, ki nga rua o nga kamaka, ki nga tataramoa katoa, ki nga wahi tarutaru katoa.
and they shall come and settle all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorn-bushes, and on all the pastures.
20 I taua ra ka heua e te Ariki ki te heu i utua, ki nga wahi i tera taha o te awa, ara ki te kingi o Ahiria, te mahunga me te huruhuru o nga waewae: ka pau ano hoki i a ia te pahau.
In that day will the Lord, with a razor which is hired beyond the river, with the king of Assyria, shave the head and the hair of the feet, yea, the beard also will it take away.
21 Na i taua ra ka atawhaitia e te tangata he kuao kau me nga hipi e rua;
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep,
22 A he nui te waiu e tukua e ratou, no ka kai pata ia: ka kainga hoki he pata, he honi e te hunga katoa ka mahue ki te whenua.
and it shall come to pass, from the abundance of milk they shall give, [that] he shall eat butter; for every one that remaineth in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey.
23 A i taua ra, ko nga wahi katoa i reira nei nga waina kotahi mano, ko te utu kotahi mano hiriwa, ka waiho era mo nga tataramoa, mo nga tumatakuru.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver pieces, shall become briars and thorns:
24 He pere, he kopere a nga tangata ina haere mai ki reira; ka riro katoa hoki te whenua i te tataramoa, i te tumatakuru.
with arrows and with the bow shall they come thither, for the whole land shall become briars and thorns.
25 Na ko nga puke katoa e ngakia ana ki te karaone, e kore koe e tae ki reira i te wehi o te tataramoa, o te tumatakuru; engari he wahi tera e tukua ai nga kau, e takahi ai nga hipi.
And all mountains that have been dug up with the hoe — thither will they not come, from fear of briars and thorns; and they shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of small cattle.
