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.
In the time of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up against Jerusalem to besiege it; but he could not prevail 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 when it was told the house of David, that the Syrians had encamped in Ephraim, his heart was moved, and the hearts of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved 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;
Then said Jehovah to Isaiah, Go forth to meet Ahaz, thou and Shear-Jashub thy son, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, in the way to 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 say to him: Take heed, and be quiet! Fear not, neither let thy heart he faint On account of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, On account of the fierce wrath of Rezin with the Syrians, 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,
Because Syria deviseth evil against thee, Ephraim 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 besiege the city, And take it, And set a king in the midst of it, Even 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, 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.
But the head of Syria shall still be Damascus, And the head of Damascus, Rezin; [[And within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that he 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 shall still be Samaria, And the head of Samaria, the son of Remaliah. If ye will not believe, neither shall ye thrive.”
10 A i korero ano a Ihowa ki a Ahata, i mea,
Jehovah spake also again to Ahaz:
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 thee a sign of Jehovah, thy God; Ask it from below, 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; I 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?
Then he said, Hear ye now, O house of David! Is it too small a thing for you to weary men, That ye should weary my God also?
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 shall Jehovah himself give you a sign: Behold, the damsel shall conceive, and bear a son, And she shall 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.
Milk and honey shall he eat, Until he learn to refuse the evil, and 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 this child shall have learned to refuse the evil and choose the good, The land shall become desolate, On account of whose two kings thou art in terror.
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.
Yet Jehovah shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, Days such as have not been Since Ephraim revolted 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 shall whistle for the fly that is at the end of the streams of Egypt, And the bee that 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 light all of them In the desolate valleys, and fissures of the rocks, And upon all hedges, and upon all 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 shall Jehovah shave, with a razor hired beyond the river, [[with the king of Assyria, ]] The head, and the hair of the feet; Yea, even the beard shall he 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 keep 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 for the abundance of milk which they produce, shall he eat cheese; For milk and honey shall all eat Who are left in 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 it shall come to pass in that day, That every place where stood a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels of silver, Shall be covered with briers 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 bows shall men go thither; For all the land shall become briers 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.
All the hills that were digged with the mattock Shall no one approach through fear of briers and thorns; They shall be for the pasturage of oxen, And the trampling of sheep.
