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.
Concerning Moab. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo, for it is laid waste! Kiriathaim is confounded, is taken. Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
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.
Moab shall no more glory in Heshbon; They have devised evil against her; “Come, [[say they, ]] and let us cut her off from being a nation!” Thou also shalt be cut down, O Madmena, The sword shall pursue thee!
3 Ka puta te reo aue i Horonaimi, he pahua, he whakangaromanga nui!
A cry is heard from Horonaim, Desolation and great destruction.
4 Ka oti a Moapa te tukituki; he aue ka rangona, na ana mea ririki.
Moab is destroyed; Her little ones raise a cry.
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.
At the ascent of Luhith Weeping goeth up after weeping; At the descent of Horonaim is heard a bitter cry of despair.
6 E rere, kahaki i a koutou kia ora ai, kia rite ai ki te manoao i te koraha.
Flee ye! save your lives! Be ye like one that has been stripped in the wilderness!
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 thou hast trusted in thy substance and thy treasures, Thou also shalt be taken And Chemosh shall go into captivity, His priests and his princes 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.
The spoiler shall come upon every city, And no city shall escape. The valley shall perish, And the plain shall be destroyed, As Jehovah hath spoken.
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.
Give wings to Moab, That she may flee away; For her cities shall be a desolation, With none to dwell therein.
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.
Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah deceitfully, And cursed be he that keepeth 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.
Moab hath been at ease from his youth, And he hath settled on his lees, And hath not been drawn off from vessel to vessel, Neither hath he gone into captivity; Therefore his taste hath remained in him, And his flavor hath not changed.
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.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will send to him tilters, who shall tilt him up, And shall empty his vessels, and break his pitchers in pieces.
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 shall be ashamed of Chemosh, As the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
14 He pehea ta koutou e ki na, He marohirohi tatou, he uaua ki te whawhai?
How will ye say, “We are mighty, And strong men for war”?
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.
Moab is destroyed; His cities have gone up in smoke, And his chosen young men have gone down to slaughter, Saith the King whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
16 Ka tata te aitua o Moapa te puta, a kei te tino kaika mei te he mona.
The destruction of Moab is near at hand; His destruction hasteth fast.
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 ye that are about him, bemoan him! And all ye that know him, say, “How is the strong sceptre broken, The splendid staff!”
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 thy glory and sit in thirst, O inhabitant of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab shall come against thee! He shall destroy thy strongholds. Stand by the wayside, and look out,
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 inhabitant of Aroer! Ask of him that fleeth, and of her that escapeth, And say, “What hath been done?”
20 Kua whakama a Moapa; kua pakaru: aue, e tangi; korerotia ki Aranono, kua oti a Moapa te pahua.
Moab is confounded; for it is broken down; Howl ye, and cry! Tell ye it in Arnon, That Moab is destroyed!
21 Kua tae atu ano te whakawa ki te mania; ki Horono, ki Iahata, ki Mepaata;
And punishment hath come upon the plain country; Upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
22 A ki Ripono, ki Nepo, ki Peteripirataima;
And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim.
23 A Kiriataima, ki Petekamuru, ki Petemeono;
And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon 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 upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, And upon all the cities 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, saith Jehovah.
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 ye him drunken, for he hath exalted himself against Jehovah; That he also may wallow in his vomit, And be himself also in derision.
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.
Was not Israel a derision to thee? Was he found among thieves, That, as often as thou spakest of him, thou shouldst shake thy head?
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.
Leave the cities and dwell in the rock, O inhabitants of Moab! Be like the dove, that maketh her nest in the sides of the mouth of the pit!
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 heard of the pride of Moab; He hath been exceeding proud; His loftiness and his arrogance, His pride and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 E mohio ana ahau ki tona riri, e ai ta Ihowa, otiia kahore he tikanga; kahore he rawa o ana whakapehapeha.
I, too, know his insolence, saith Jehovah, And his vain boastings. They shall effect 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.
Therefore will I wail for Moab, Even for all Moab will I cry out; For the men of Kir-heres shall there be mourning.
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.
More than Jazer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah! Thy branches have passed beyond the sea; They reach even to the sea of Jazer; Upon thy summer-fruits and thy vintage the spoiler falleth.
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.
And joy and gladness are taken away from the fruitful field; And from the land of Moab, And from the presses, have I caused the wine to fail: No more shall they tread with shouting; The shouting shall be no shouting.
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.
From wailing Heshbon to Elealeh, Even to Jahaz, is their voice heard, From Zoar even to Horonaim, To Eglath-shelishijah; For even the waters of Nimrim are desolate.
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 cause to cease in Moab, saith Jehovah, Him that offereth in the high places, And him that burneth incense 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.
Therefore doth my heart sound like a flute for Moab, And for the men of Ker-heres doth my heart sound like a flute; For the remnant of their substance is perished.
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.
Every head is bald, And every beard shorn; Upon all hands are cutting, And upon the loins sackcloth.
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.
Upon all the house-tops of Moab, and in her streets, All is lamentation. For I have broken Moab, like a useless vessel, saith Jehovah.
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.
Howl ye! How is he broken down! How hath Moab turned the back with shame! A derision and a consternation is Moab To all that are round 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 thus saith Jehovah: Behold, like an eagle flieth an enemy, And spreadeth his wings over 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 strongholds are seized; The hearts of the heroes of Moab in that day Shall be like the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 A ka huna a Moapa, ka kore tena iwi, mona i whakakake ki a Ihowa.
And Moab shall be destroyed so as to be no more a people, Because he exalted himself against Jehovah.
43 Ko te wehi, ko te poka, ko te rore, kei a koe, e te tangata o Moapa, e ai ta Ihowa.
Terror and the pit and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith Jehovah.
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 that fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit, And he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare; For I will bring upon it, upon Moab, The year of their punishment, saith Jehovah.
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.
In the valley of Heshbon the fugitives halted for want of strength; But a fire is gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from the midst of Sihon, Which devoureth the region of Moab, And the heads of the sons of tumult.
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.
Woe to thee, O Moab! Undone is the people of Chemosh! For thy sons are taken captives, And thy daughters are captives.
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.
Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab In future times, saith Jehovah. Thus far the judgment of Moab.
