Heremaia 48

1 Mo Moapa. Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Aue, te mate mo Nepo! kua pahuatia hoki; kua meinga a Kiriataima kia whakama, kua riro: kua meinga a Mihikapa kia whakama, kua wawahia iho ia.

Of Moab. The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Sorrow on Nebo, for it has been made waste; Kiriathaim has been put to shame and is taken: the strong place is put to shame and broken down.

2 Kua kahore te whakamoemiti mo Moapa; i Hehepona ratou e whakatakoto ana i te kino mona, Haere mai, tatou ka hatepe atu i a ia, kia kore ai tena iwi. Ko koe ano hoki, e Maramene, ka whakanohopukutia koe; ka aru te hoari i a koe.

The praise of Moab has come to an end; as for Heshbon, evil has been designed against her; come, let us put an end to her as a nation. But your mouth will be shut, O Madmen; the sword will go after you.

3 Ka puta te reo aue i Horonaimi, he pahua, he whakangaromanga nui!

There is the sound of crying from Horonaim, wasting and great destruction;

4 Ka oti a Moapa te tukituki; he aue ka rangona, na ana mea ririki.

Moab is broken; her cry has gone out to Zoar.

5 Ka haere hoki ratou ma te pikinga atu ki Ruhiti me te tangi haere tonu; no te mea i te heketanga ki Horonaimi kua rongo ratou i te mamae kino o te aue ki te whakangaromanga.

For by the slope of Luhith they will go up, weeping all the way; for on the way down to Horonaim the cry of destruction has come to their ears.

6 E rere, kahaki i a koutou kia ora ai, kia rite ai ki te manoao i te koraha.

Go in flight, get away with your lives, and let your faces be turned to Aroer in the Arabah.

7 No te mea, nau i whakawhirinaki ki au mahi, ki au taonga, koia ano koe ka horo ai: a ka riro a Kemoho i te whakarau, ratou tahi ko ona tohunga, ko ona rangatira.

For because you have put your faith in your strong places, you, even you, will be taken: and Chemosh will go out as a prisoner, his priests and his rulers together.

8 Ka tae te kaipahua ki nga pa katoa, e kore hoki tetahi pa e puta; ka ngaro te raorao, ka huna hoki te mania; ka pera me ta Ihowa i korero ai.

And the attacker will come against every town, not one will be safe; and the valley will be made waste, and destruction will come to the lowland, as the Lord has said.

9 Hoatu he parirau mo Moapa, kia rere atu ai, kia puta ai: a ka ururuatia ona pa, te ai he tangata hei noho ki reira.

Put up a pillar for Moab, for she will come to a complete end: and her towns will become a waste, without anyone living in them.

10 Ka kanga te tangata e mahi whakaparahako ana i ta Ihowa mahi, a ka kanga hoki te tangata e kore nei e tuku i tana hoari ki te toto.

Let him be cursed who does the Lord's work half-heartedly; let him be cursed who keeps back his sword from blood.

11 I runga a Moapa i te rangimarie no tona tamarikitanga ake, a i ata takoto ia i runga i ona nganga, kihai i ringihia atu i tetahi oko ki tetahi oko, kihai ano hoki ia i riro i te whakarau: heoi mau tonu tona reka ki a ia, a kihai tona kakara i re re ke.

From his earliest days, Moab has been living in comfort; like wine long stored he has not been drained from vessel to vessel, he has never gone away as a prisoner: so his taste is still in him, his smell is unchanged.

12 Mo reira, nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e unga ai e ahau ki a ia te hunga ringiringi, a ka ringihia atu ia e ratou; a ka noho tahanga i a ratou ana oko, ka pakaru rikiriki hoki a ratou pounamu.

So truly, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send to him men who will have him turned over till there is no more wine in his vessels, and his wine-skins will be completely broken.

13 Na ka whakama a Moapa ki a Kemoho, ka pera me te whare o Iharaira i whakama ra ki Peteere, ki ta ratou i whakawhirinaki ai.

And Moab will be shamed on account of Chemosh, as the children of Israel were shamed on account of Beth-el their hope.

14 He pehea ta koutou e ki na, He marohirohi tatou, he uaua ki te whawhai?

How say you, We are men of war and strong fighters?

15 Kua pahuatia a Moapa, a kua piki atu ratou ki ona pa, kua heke iho hoki ana taitama, he mea whiriwhiri, kei raro, he parekura, e ai ta te Kingi, ko Ihowa, nei o nga mano tona ingoa.

He who makes Moab waste has gone up against her; and the best of her young men have gone down to their death, says the King, whose name is the Lord of armies.

16 Ka tata te aitua o Moapa te puta, a kei te tino kaika mei te he mona.

The fate of Moab is near, and trouble is coming on him very quickly.

17 Tangihia ia, e koutou katoa i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, e koutou e mohio ana ki tona ingoa; ki ake, Ano te whatinga o te rakau kaha, o te tokotoko ataahua!

All you who are round about him, give signs of grief for him, and all you who have knowledge of his name, say, How is the strong rod broken, even the beautiful branch!

18 E te tamahine e noho mai nei i Ripono, makere mai i tou kororia, e noho ki te matewai; no te mea kua tae te kaipahua o Moapa ki a koe, kua kore i a ia ou wahi kaha.

Come down from your glory, O people of Dibon, and take your seat in the place of the waste; for the attacker of Moab has gone up against you, sending destruction on your strong places.

19 E te wahine e noho ana i Aroere, e tu ki te ara titiro ai: ui atu ki te tangata e rere ana, ki te wahine e mawhiti ana; mea atu, he aha kua meatia?

O daughter of Aroer, take your station by the way, on the watch: questioning him who is in flight, and her who has got away safe, say, What has been done?

20 Kua whakama a Moapa; kua pakaru: aue, e tangi; korerotia ki Aranono, kua oti a Moapa te pahua.

Moab has been put to shame, she is broken: make loud sounds of grief, crying out for help; give the news in Arnon, that Moab has been made waste.

21 Kua tae atu ano te whakawa ki te mania; ki Horono, ki Iahata, ki Mepaata;

And punishment has come on the lowlands; on Holon and Jahzah, and on Mephaath,

22 A ki Ripono, ki Nepo, ki Peteripirataima;

And on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim,

23 A Kiriataima, ki Petekamuru, ki Petemeono;

And on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,

24 Ki Kerioto, ki Potora, ki nga pa katoa o te whenua o Moapa, ki nga mea i tawhiti, ki nga mea e tata ana.

And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the towns of the land of Moab, far and near.

25 Kua oti te haona o Moapa te pouto atu, kua whati tona ringa, e ai ta Ihowa.

The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says the Lord.

26 Meinga ia e koutou kia haurangi; mona i whakakakake ki a Ihowa: a ka okeoke a Moapa i roto i tona ruaki, a ka waiho ano ia hei katanga.

Make him full of wine, for his heart has been lifted up against the Lord: and Moab will be rolling in the food he was not able to keep down, and everyone will be making sport of him.

27 He teka ianei i waiho a Iharaira hei katanga mau? i kitea ranei ia i roto i nga tahae? no te mea i au korerotanga katoa mona, e oraora ana te mahunga.

For did you not make sport of Israel? was he taken among thieves? for whenever you were talking about him, you were shaking your head over him.

28 E nga tangata o Moapa, whakarerea nga pa, e noho ki te kamaka; a kia rite ki te kukupa e hanga nei i tona ohanga ki nga taha o te kuwaha o te rua.

O people of Moab, go away from the towns and take cover in the rock; be like the dove of the Arabah, which makes her living-place in holes.

29 Kua rongo tatou i te whakahihi o Moapa, nui atu hoki tona whakahihi; i tona whakakake, i tona whakamanamana, i tona whakapehapeha, i te whakahirahira hoki o tona ngakau.

We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride; and his great opinion of himself, and that his heart is lifted up.

30 E mohio ana ahau ki tona riri, e ai ta Ihowa, otiia kahore he tikanga; kahore he rawa o ana whakapehapeha.

I have knowledge of his wrath, says the Lord, that it is nothing; his high-sounding words have done nothing.

31 Mo reira ka tangi ahau mo Moapa; ae ra, ka aue ahau mo Moapa katoa: ka uhunga ratou mo nga tangata o Kiriherehe.

For this cause I will give cries of grief for Moab, crying out for Moab, even for all of it; I will be sorrowing for the men of Kir-heres.

32 E te waina o Hipima, ka tangihia koe e ahau, nui atu i te tangihanga mo Iatere: kua whiti ou peka ki tera taha o te moana, kua tae rawa ki te moana o Iatere: kua kokiri atu te kaipahua ki au hua raumati, ki tau kohikohinga waina.

My weeping for you, O vine of Sibmah, will be more than the weeping of Jazer: your branches have gone over the sea, stretching even to Jazer: destruction has come down on your summer fruits and your cut grapes.

33 A kua whakakahoretia atu te koa me te hari i te mara momona, i te whenua hoki o Moapa; a kua mutu i ahau he waina mo nga takahanga waina; e kore tetahi e hamama i te takahanga; ko to ratou hamama ehara i te hamama.

All joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field and for the land of Moab; I have made the wine come to an end from the crushing vessels: no longer will the grapes be crushed with the sound of glad voices.

34 No te auetanga i Hehepona tae noa ki Ereare, ki Iahata, te puakanga o to ratou reo, no Toara tae noa ki Horonaimi, ki Ekerata Herihiia: no te mea ka mokemoke ano hoki nga wai o Nimirimi.

The cry of Heshbon comes even to Elealeh; to Jahaz their voice is sounding; from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim will become dry.

35 Ka meinga ano hoki e ahau kia mutu i roto i a Moapa, e ai ta Ihowa, te tangata whakaeke whakahere ki te wahi tiketike, me te tangata tahu whakakakaraki ona atua.

And I will put an end in Moab, says the Lord, to him who is making offerings in the high place and burning perfumes to his gods.

36 Na reira kei te tangi toku ngakau ki a Moapa ano he putorino, kei te tangi hoki toku ngakau ano he putorino ki nga tangata o Kiriherehe; na reira kua moti nga mea maha i mahia e ia.

So my heart is sounding for Moab like the sound of pipes, and my heart is sounding like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: for the wealth he has got for himself has come to an end.

37 He mea moremore katoa hoki nga mahunga, ko nga kumikumi katoa tapahi rawa: he haehaenga kei nga ringa katoa, he kakahu taratara kei nga hope.

For everywhere the hair of the head and the hair of the face is cut off: on every hand there are wounds, and haircloth on every body.

38 Kei runga i nga tuanui katoa o Moapa a kei ona ara he uhunga kei nga wahi katoa: no te mea kua pakaru i ahau a Moapa, ano he oko e kore e manakohia, e ai ta Ihowa.

On all the house-tops of Moab and in its streets there is weeping everywhere; for Moab has been broken like a vessel in which there is no pleasure, says the Lord.

39 Ano tona wawahanga! Ta ratou aue! ina, te tahuritanga mai o te tuara o Moapa i te whakama! na ka waiho a Moapa hei katanga, hei whakawehi ki te hunga i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha.

How is it broken down! how is Moab's back turned in shame! so Moab will be a cause of sport and of fear to everyone round about him.

40 No te mea ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka rere ia ano he ekara, ka roha hoki ona parirau ki runga ki Moapa.

For the Lord has said, See, he will come like an eagle in flight, stretching out his wings against Moab.

41 Kua horo Kerioto, kua riro nga wahi kaha, a ka rite te ngakau o nga marohirohi o Moapa i taua ra ki te ngakau o te wahine e whakamamae ana.

Kerioth is taken, and the strong places have been forced, and the hearts of Moab's men of war in that day will be like the heart of a woman in birth-pains.

42 A ka huna a Moapa, ka kore tena iwi, mona i whakakake ki a Ihowa.

And Moab will come to an end as a people, because he has been lifting himself up against the Lord.

43 Ko te wehi, ko te poka, ko te rore, kei a koe, e te tangata o Moapa, e ai ta Ihowa.

Fear and death and the net have come on you, O people of Moab, says the Lord.

44 Ko te tangata e rere ana i te wehi, ka taka ki te poka; a ko te tangata e puta ake ana i te poka, ka mau i te rore: ka takina hoki e ahau ki runga ki a ia, ara ki a Moapa, te tau e tirotirohia ai ratou, e ai ta Ihowa.

He who goes in flight from the fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for I will make this come on Moab, even the year of their punishment, says the Lord.

45 Ko te hunga i rere, tu ana ratou i raro i te ata o Hehepona, kahore he kaha: kua puta atu hoki he ahi i Hehepona, he mura i waenganui o Hihono, a kua pau te koki o Moapa, te tumuaki hoki o nga tama a te ngangau.

Those who went in flight from the fear are waiting under the shade of Heshbon: for a fire has gone out from Heshbon and a flame from the house of Sihon, burning up the pride of Moab and the crown of the head of the violent ones.

46 Aue, te mate mou, e Moapa! kua huna te iwi o Kemoho: kua riro hoki au tama hei whakarau, au tamahine hoki hei whakarau.

Sorrow is yours, O Moab! the people of Chemosh are overcome: for your sons have been taken away as prisoners, and your daughters made servants.

47 Otiia ka whakahokia mai ano e ahau a Moapa i te whakarau i nga ra whakamutunga, e ai ta Ihowa. Heoi ano te whakawa mo Moapa.

But still, I will let the fate of Moab be changed in the last days, says the Lord.
