Ihaia 8
1 I ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Tikina atu tetahi papa nui mau, ka tuhituhi ki runga, ki te pene a te tangata, Mo Mahereharara Hapaha;
Moreover, the Lord sayd vnto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a mans penne, Make speede to the spoyle: haste to the praye.
2 Na maku e mea etahi kaiwhakaatu pono hei whakaatu mo taku, ara a Uria tohunga raua ko Tekaria tama a Teperekia.
Then I tooke vnto me faithfull witnesses to recorde, Vriah the Priest, and Zechariah the sonne of Ieberechiah.
3 Na ko taku haerenga atu ki te poropiti wahine, kua hapu, whanau ake he tama. Katahi a Ihowa ka ki mai ki ahau, Huaina tona ingoa ko Mahereharara Hapaha.
After, I came vnto the Prophetesse, which conceiued, and bare a sonne. Then sayd the Lord to me, Call his name, Mahershalalhash-baz.
4 No te mea mohio rawa ake te tamaiti ki te karanga, E toku papa, e toku whaea, ka riro nga taonga o Ramahiku, me nga mea parakete o Hamaria i te aroaro o te kingi o Ahiria.
For before the childe shall haue knowledge to crye, My father, and my mother, he shall take away the riches of Damascus and the spoyle of Samaria, before the King of Asshur.
5 I korero mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea.
And the Lord spake yet againe vnto me, saying,
6 Na kua paopao nei tenei iwi ki nga wai ata rere o Hiroa, a e koa ana ki a Retini raua ko te tama a Remaria;
Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that runne softly, and reioyce with Rezin, and the sonne of Remaliah,
7 Na, tenei te takina mai nei e te Ariki nga wai o te awa ki runga ki a ratou, he kaha, he nui, ara te kingi o Ahiria, me tona kororia katoa: ka ngawha ano ia ki runga i ona pareparenga katoa, ka pari ano hoki ki runga i ona tahatika katoa:
Nowe therefore, beholde, the Lord bringeth vp vpon them the waters of the Riuer mightie and great, euen the King of Asshur with all his glory, and he shall come vp vpon all their riuers, and goe ouer all their banks,
8 Ka rere tonu atu ia ki a Hura; ka puhake atu, a ka puta; ka pa ki te kaki rawa; a ka kapi i te rohanga o ona parirau te whanuitanga o tou whenua, e Emanuera.
And shall breake into Iudah, and shall ouerflowe and passe through, and shall come vp to the necke, and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanu-el.
9 E anga, ka whakatupu raruraru, e nga iwi, a ka pakaru rikiriki koutou; kia whai taringa hoki, e te hunga katoa o nga whenua i tawhiti; whitiki, a ka pakaru rikiriki koutou; whitiki, a ka mongamonga noa koutou.
Gather together on heapes, O ye people, and ye shalbe broken in pieces, and hearken all ye of farre countreys: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces.
10 Whakatakotoria he whakaaro, a ka taka noa iho; korerotia te kupu, e kore ano e tu; kei a matou nei hoki te Atua.
Take counsell together, yet it shall be brought to nought: pronounce a decree, yet shall it not stand: for God is with vs.
11 Ko ta Ihowa korero hoki tenei ki ahau i runga i te ringa kaha, me tana whakaako ano i ahau kia kaua e haere i te ara o tenei iwi; ka ki mai,
For the Lord spake thus to me in taking of mine hand, and taught me, that I should not walke in the way of this people, saying,
12 Kaua e ki, He he te whakatakotoria nei i nga mea katoa e ki atu ai tenei iwi, He he te whakatakotoria nei; kaua hoki e wehi i ta ratou e wehi ai, kaua ano e pawera ki reira.
Say ye not, A confederacie to all them, to whome this people sayth a confederacie, neither feare you their feare, nor be afrayd of them.
13 Ko Ihowa o nga mano, ko ia ta koutou e whakatapu ai; ko ia hei wehi ma koutou, ko ia hei pawera ma koutou.
Sanctifie the Lord of hostes, and let him be your feare, and let him be your dread,
14 A ka ai ia hei wahi tapu; hei kohatu tutukitanga waewae ia, hei kamaka e hinga ai nga whare e rua o Iharaira, hei rore ano hoki, hei mahanga ki nga tangata o Hiruharama.
And he shalbe as a Sanctuarie: but as a stumbling stone, and as a rocke to fall vpon, to both the houses of Israel, and as a snare and as a net to the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
15 He tokomaha ano hoki o ratou e tutuki te waewae ki reira, e hinga, pakaru iho, e mahangatia, mau tonu iho.
And many among them shall stumble, and shall fall and shalbe broken and shalbe snared and shalbe taken.
16 Takaia te whakaaturanga, hiritia te ture i roto i aku akonga.
Binde vp the testimonie: seale vp the Law among my disciples.
17 A ka tatari ahau ki a Ihowa e hunga nei i tona mata ki te whare o Hakopa, ka tumanako atu ki a ia.
Therefore I will waite vpon the Lord that hath hid his face from the house of Iaakob, and I wil looke for him.
18 Nana, ko matou ko nga tamariki i homai nei e Ihowa ki ahau hei tohu, hei mea whakamiharo i roto i a Iharaira, he mea na Ihowa o nga mano e noho nei i Maunga Hiona.
Beholde, I and the children whome the Lord hath giuen me, are as signes and as wonders in Israel, by the Lord of hostes, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 Na, ki te mea mai ratou ki a koutou, Me rapu tikanga koutou i te hunga he atua maori nei o ratou, i nga matakite, i te hunga e kowhetewhete ana, e ngunguru ana: kaua ianei tetahi iwi e rapu tikanga ki to ratou Atua? me rapu atu ranei ratou ki ng a mea mate mo nga mea ora?
And when they shall say vnto you, Enquire at them that haue a spirit of diuination, and at the soothsayers, which whisper and murmure, Should not a people enquire at their God? from the liuing to the dead?
20 Ki te ture, ki te whakaaturanga! ki te kore e rite ta ratou korero ki tenei kupu, ina, kahore he ata mo ratou.
To the Law, and to the testimonie, if they speake not according to this worde: it is because there is no light in them.
21 A ka tika ano ratou na reira, ruha noa iho, e mate ana i te kai: i a ratou ka mate nei i te kai, ka tupu te riri, a ka kanga e ratou to ratou kingi, me to ratou Atua, a ka tahuri o ratou kanohi whakarunga:
Then he that is afflicted and famished, shall go to and from in it: and when he shalbe hungry, he shall euen freat himselfe, and curse his King and his gods, and shall looke vpward.
22 A ka titiro ratou ki te whenua, na, he whakapawera, he pouri, ko te poruru o te mamae; a ka aia atu ratou ki roto ki te pouri kerekere.
And when he shall looke to the earth, beholde trouble, and darkenes, vexation and anguish, and he is driuen to darkenes.
