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;
And Jehovah said to me, Take thee a great tablet, and with a man's writing-instrument write on it, Hasteth-the-prey, Speedeth-the-spoil.
2 Na maku e mea etahi kaiwhakaatu pono hei whakaatu mo taku, ara a Uria tohunga raua ko Tekaria tama a Teperekia.
And I took with me faithful witnesses, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Berechiah.
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.
I went in to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then said Jehovah to me, Call his name, Hasteth-the-prey, Speedeth-the-spoil.
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 child shall learn to say, My father, and My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be borne away before the king of Assyria.
5 I korero mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea.
Moreover, Jehovah spake to me again, 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 despiseth The soft-flowing waters of Siloah, And rejoiceth in Rezin, and the son 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:
Therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth upon them the strong and mighty waters of the river; [[The king of Assyria and all his glory.]] He shall rise above all his channels, And go over all his 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 he shall pass through Judah, overflowing and spreading; Even to the neck shall he reach, And his stretched-out wings shall fill the whole breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!
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.
Rage, ye nations, and despair! Give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth! Gird yourselves, and despair! Gird yourselves, and despair!
10 Whakatakotoria he whakaaro, a ka taka noa iho; korerotia te kupu, e kore ano e tu; kei a matou nei hoki te Atua.
Form your plan, and it shall come to naught; Give the command, and it shall not stand; For God is with us.
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 thus spake Jehovah to me with a strong hand, Instructing me not to walk in the way of this people:
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.
Call not everything a confederacy which this people calleth a confederacy; Fear ye not what they fear, Neither be afraid!
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.
Jehovah of hosts, sanctify ye him; Let him be your fear, 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 shall be to you a sanctuary; But a stone of stumbling, and a rock to strike against, To the two houses of Israel, A trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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; They shall fall, and be broken; They shall be ensnared and taken.
16 Takaia te whakaaturanga, hiritia te ture i roto i aku akonga.
Bind up the revelation, Seal the word, with 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.
I will, therefore, wait for Jehovah, Who now hideth his face from the house of Jacob; Yet will I look 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.
Behold, I, and the children which Jehovah hath given me, Are signs and tokens in Israel From Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth upon 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 to you, “Inquire of the necromancers and the wizards, That chirp, and that murmur,” [[Then say ye, ]] “Should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead for the living?”
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 word, to the revelation! If they speak not according to this, For them no bright morning shall arise.
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:
They shall pass through the land distressed and famished; And when they are famished, they shall be enraged, and curse their king and their God, And look upward.
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 if they look to the earth, Behold distress and darkness, fearful darkness! And into darkness shall they be driven.
