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 in the dayes of Ahaz, the sonne of Iotham, the sonne of Vzziah king of Iudah, Rezin the King of Aram came vp, and Pekah the sonne of Remaliah King of Israel, to Ierusalem to fight against it, but he could not ouercome 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 tolde the house of Dauid, saying, Aram is ioyned with Ephraim: therefore his heart was moued, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moued by the winde.

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;

Then sayde the Lord vnto Isaiah, Goe foorth nowe to meete Ahaz (thou and Sheariashub thy sonne) at the ende of the conduit of the vpper poole, in the path of the fullers fielde,

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 say vnto him, Take heede, and be still: feare not, neither be faint hearted for the two tailes of these smoking firebrands, for the furious wrath of Rezin and of Aram, and of Remaliahs sonne:

5 Na kua whakaaroa nei e Hiria, ratou ko Eparaima, ko te tama a Remaria, he kino mou, kua mea nei ratou,

Because Aram hath taken wicked counsell against thee, and Ephraim, and Remaliahs sonne, 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 vs goe vp against Iudah, and let vs waken them vp, and make a breach therein for vs, and set a King in the mids thereof, euen the sonne of Tabeal.

7 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, E kore e tu, e kore ano e taea.

Thus sayth the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it be.

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 Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within fiue and threescore yeere, Ephraim shalbe destroyed from being 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 Remaliahs sonne. If ye beleeue not, surely ye shall not be established.

10 A i korero ano a Ihowa ki a Ahata, i mea,

And the Lord spake againe vnto 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)

Aske a signe for thee of the Lord thy God: aske it, either in the depth beneath or in the height aboue. (Sheol h7585)

12 Ano ra ko Ahata, E kore ahau e inoi, e kore ano e whakamatautau i a Ihowa.

But Ahaz sayd, I wil not aske, neither will I tempt the Lord.

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?

Then he sayd, Heare you nowe, O house of Dauid, Is it a small thing for you to grieue men, that ye will also grieue 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 the Lord himselfe will giue you a signe. Beholde, the virgine shall conceiue and beare a sonne, and she shall call his name Immanu-el.

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 hony shall he eate, till he haue knowledge to refuse the euill, and to chuse 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 afore the childe shall haue knowledge to eschew the euill, and to chuse the good, the land, that thou abhorrest, shalbe forsaken of both her Kings.

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.

The Lord shall bring vpon thee, and vpon thy people, and vpon thy fathers house (the dayes that haue not come from the day that Ephraim departed from Iudah) euen the King of Asshur.

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 in that day shall the Lord hisse for the flie that is at the vttermost part of the floods of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the lande of Asshur,

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 shall light all in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rockes, and vpon all thorny places, and vpon all bushy places.

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 shall the Lord shaue with a rasor that is hired, euen by them beyond the Riuer, by the King of Asshur, the head and the heare of the feete, and it shall consume the beard.

21 Na i taua ra ka atawhaitia e te tangata he kuao kau me nga hipi e rua;

And in the same day shall a man nourish a yong kow, and two sheepe.

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 for the abundance of milke, that they shall giue, hee shall eate butter: for butter and hony shall euery one eate, which is left within the land.

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 at the same day euery place, wherein shalbe a thousand vines, shalbe at a thousand pieces of siluer: so it shalbe for the briers and for the thornes.

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 arrowes and with bowe shall one come thither: because all the land shall be briers and thornes.

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.

But on all the mountaines, which shalbe digged with the mattocke, there shall not come thither the feare of briers and thornes: but they shalbe for the sending out of bullocks, and for the treading of sheepe.
