Ihaia 1
1 Ko te kite a Ihaia, a te tama a Amoho, i kite ai ia mo Hura, mo Hiruharama, i nga ra o nga kingi o Hura, o Utia, o Iotama, o Ahata, o Hetekia.
A vision of Isaiah, the sonne of Amoz, which he sawe concerning Iudah and Ierusalem: in the dayes of Vzziah, Iotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah.
2 Whakarongo, e nga rangi, kia whai taringa ano, e te whenua, kua korero hoki a Ihowa: Kua atawhai tamariki ahau, kua whakatupu hoki, na kua tahuri mai ratou ki ahau.
Heare, O heauens, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord hath sayde, I haue nourished and brought vp children, but they haue rebelled against me.
3 E mohio ana te kau ki tona ariki, te kaihe ki te takotoranga kai a tona rangatira: ko Iharaira ia kahore e mohio, kahore taku iwi e whakaaro.
The oxe knoweth his owner, and the asse his masters crib: but Israel hath not knowen: my people hath not vnderstand.
4 Aue, e te iwi hara, he hunga taimaha i te kino, he uri no nga kaimahi i te he, he tamariki whakangau ke: kua whakarerea e ratou a Ihowa, kua whakahawea ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, kua tangata ke ratou a kua hoki whakamuri.
Ah, sinfull nation, a people laden with iniquitie: a seede of the wicked, corrupt children: they haue forsaken the Lord: they haue prouoked the holy one of Israel to anger: they are gone backewarde.
5 Kia patua tonutia hoki koutou hei aha, i tutu tonu ai koutou? kei te mate katoa te mahunga, kei te ruhi katoa hoki te ngakau.
Wherefore shoulde ye be smitten any more? for ye fall away more and more: the whole head is sicke, and the whole heart is heauie.
6 Kahore ona wahi ora, ake i te kapu o tona waewae a tae noa ki te mahunga; he kaiakiko kau, he karawarawa, he whiunga kua pirau: kihai ena i romia, kihai i takaia, kihai ano hoki i whakangawaritia ki te hinu.
From the sole of the foote vnto the head, there is nothing whole therein, but wounds, and swelling, and sores full of corruption: they haue not bene wrapped, nor bound vp, nor mollified with oyle.
7 Ko to koutou whenua kua ururuatia; ko o koutou pa kua wera i te ahi; he tangata ke kei te kai i to koutou oneone i to koutou aroaro, ururua ana, koia ano kei ta te tangata ke raupatutanga.
Your land is waste: your cities are burnt with fire: strangers deuoure your lande in your presence, and it is desolate like the ouerthrowe of strangers.
8 A ka mahue iho te tamahine a Hiona, ano he tihokahoka i te mara waina, ano he wharau i te mara kukamo, he pa e whakapaea ana.
And the daughter of Zion shall remaine like a cotage in a vineyarde, like a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and like a besieged citie.
9 Me i kahore a Ihowa o nga mano te waiho i tetahi toenga nohinohi rawa nei ki a tatou, kua pera tatou me Horoma, kua rite tatou ki Komora.
Except the Lord of hostes had reserued vnto vs, euen a small remnant: we should haue bene as Sodom, and should haue bene like vnto Gomorah.
10 Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e nga rangatira o Horoma; kia whai taringa mai, e te iwi o Komora, ki te ture a to tatou Atua.
Heare the worde of the Lord, O princes of Sodom: hearken vnto the Law of our God, O people of Gomorah.
11 Hei aha maku a koutou patunga maha? e ai ta Ihowa: kua makona ahau i nga tahunga o nga tinana o nga hipi toa, i te ngako o nga kararehe whangai; kahore hoki aku manakohanga atu ki te toto o nga puru, o nga reme, o nga koati toa ranei.
What haue I to doe with the multitude of your sacrifices, sayth the Lord? I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and of the fat of fed beasts: and I desire not the blood of bullocks, nor of lambs, nor of goates.
12 Ka haere mai koutou, ka whakakite mai ki toku aroaro, ko wai i ki atu ki tenei mea a o koutou ringa, kia takahia oku marae?
When ye come to appeare before me, who required this of your hands to tread in my courts?
13 Kati te mau mai i nga whakahere horihori: he mea whakarihariha ki ahau te whakakakara; te kowhititanga marama, te hapati, te karangatanga o nga whakaminenga, e kore ahau e manawanui ki te kino, ki te huihui nui.
Bring no more oblations, in vaine: incense is an abomination vnto me: I can not suffer your newe moones, nor Sabbaths, nor solemne dayes (it is iniquitie) nor solemne assemblies.
14 Ko a koutou kowhititanga marama, ko a koutou hakari whakarite, e kino ana toku ngakau: he mea porearea ki ahau; he hanga whakahoha.
My soule hateth your newe moones and your appointed feastes: they are a burden vnto me: I am weary to beare them.
15 Na ka wherahia mai o koutou ringa, ka huna e ahau oku kanohi ki a koutou; ae ra, ka whakanuia e koutou te inoi e kore ahau e rongo, kapi tonu o koutou ringa i te toto.
And when you shall stretch out your hands, I wil hide mine eyes from you: and though ye make many prayers, I wil not heare: for your hands are full of blood.
16 Horoi i a koutou, kia ma; whakarerea atu te kino o a koutou hanga i mua i oku kanohi; kati te mahi i te kino;
Wash you, make you cleane: take away the euill of your workes from before mine eyes: cease to doe euill.
17 Akona te mahi pai; rapua te whakawa; whakatikaia ta te tangata e tukinotia ana; whakawakia ta te pani; tohea ta te pouaru.
Learne to doe well: seeke iudgement, relieue the oppressed: iudge the fatherlesse and defend the widowe.
18 Tena ra, tatou ka korerorero, e ai ta Ihowa; ahakoa i rite o koutou hara ki te mea ngangana, ka pera me te hukarere te ma; ahakoa i whero me te mea whakawhero, ka rite ki te huruhuru hipi.
Come nowe, and let vs reason together, sayth the Lord: though your sinnes were as crimsin, they shalbe made white as snowe: though they were red like skarlet, they shalbe as wooll.
19 Ki te mea ka pai koutou, a ka rongo, ka kai koutou i nga mea pai o te whenua;
If ye consent and obey, ye shall eate the good things of the land.
20 Ki te whakakahore koutou, a ka tutu, ka pau koutou i te hoari; kua korero hoki te mangai o Ihowa.
But if ye refuse and be rebellious, ye shalbe deuoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
21 Aue! tona kairautanga o te pa pono! i ki nei ia i te whakawa! he nohoanga no te tika, inaianei ia no nga kaikohuru.
Howe is the faithfull citie become an harlot? it was full of iudgement, and iustice lodged therein, but now they are murtherers.
22 Ko tau hiriwa kua meinga hei para, ko tau waina, kua whakaranua ki te wai.
Thy siluer is become drosse: thy wine is mixt with water.
23 Ko ou rangatira kei te whakakeke, a he hoa ratou no te hunga tahae; e whakapai ana ratou ki te moni whakapati, e whai ana i te utu; kahore ratou e whakawa ana mo te pani, a kahore te tohe a te pouaru e tae ana ki a ratou.
Thy Princes are rebellious and companions of theeues: euery one loueth giftes, and followeth after rewards: they iudge not the fatherlesse, neither doeth the widowes cause come before them.
24 No reira ka mea te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, te Mea Nui o Iharaira, Na! ka whai mamatanga ahau i oku hoariri, ka whai utu ahau i oku hoariri:
Therefore sayth the Lord God of hostes, the mightie one of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine aduersaries, and auenge me of mine enemies.
25 Ka tahuri atu hoki toku ringa ki a koe, a ka tahia rawatia tou para, ka wehea katoatia atu ano tou tine:
Then I will turne mine hand vpon thee, and burne out thy drosse, till it be pure, and take away all thy tinne.
26 A ka whakahokia mai e ahau ou kaiwhakawa kia rite ki o mua, me ou kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, kia rite ki o te timatanga; muri iho ka kiia koe, Ko te pa o te tika, ko te pa piripono.
And I will restore thy iudges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward shalt thou be called a citie of righteousnes, and a faithfull citie.
27 Ka hokona a Hiona i runga i te whakawa, ana tangata hoki, e tahuri mai ana, i runga i te tika.
Zion shall be redeemed in iudgement, and they that returne in her, in iustice.
28 Ka huihuia ia kia kotahi tonu te whakangaromanga o te hunga poka ke, o te hunga hara, a ka whakamotitia te hunga e whakarere ana i a Ihowa.
And the destruction of the transgressers and of the sinners shalbe together: and they that forsake the Lord, shalbe consumed.
29 Ka whakama hoki ratou i nga oki i matenuitia e koutou, numinumi kau koutou i nga kari i whiriwhiria e koutou.
For they shalbe confounded for the okes, which ye haue desired, and ye shall be ashamed of the gardens, that ye haue chosen.
30 Ka rite hoki koutou ki te oki kua memenge ona rau, ki te kari ano hoki kahore nei ona wai.
For ye shalbe as an oke, whose leafe fadeth: and as a garden that hath no water.
31 A hei muka te mea kaha, hei korakora ano tana mahi; na ka ngiha ngatahi raua, kahore hoki he tangata hei tinei.
And the strong shall be as towe, and the maker thereof, as a sparke: and they shall both burne together, and none shall quench them.
