Hoera 2
1 Whakatangihia te tetere ki Hiona; hei whakaoho ki toku maunga tapu, kia wiri nga tangata katoa o te whenua: kei te haere mai hoki te ra o Ihowa, kua tata;
Sound the trumpet in Sion, make a proclamation in my holy mountain, and let all the inhabitants of the land be confounded: for the day of the Lord is near;
2 He ra pouri, he ra tukupu, he ra kapua, he pouri kerekere, ano ko te ata kua horapa noa atu i runga i nga maunga; he iwi nui, kaha, kahore ona rite i mua, kahore hoki he pera i nga wa i muri a taea noatia nga tau o nga whakatupuranga maha.
for a day of darkness and gloominess is near, a day of cloud and mist: a numerous and strong people shall be spread upon the mountains as the morning; there has not been from the beginning one like it, and after it there shall not be again even to the years of many generations.
3 I mua i a ratou ko te ahi e kai ana, i muri i a ratou ko te mura e ngiha ana; ko te whenua i mua i a ratou me te mea ko te kari o Erene, a i muri i a ratou he koraha ururua; ae ra, kahore he mea i puta i a ratou.
Before them is a consuming fire, and behind them is a flame kindled: the land before them is as a paradise of delight, and behind them a desolate plain: and there shall none of them escape.
4 Ko to ratou ahua kei to nga hoiho; ko ta ratou oma rite tonu ki ta te kaieke hoiho.
Their appearance is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they pursue.
5 E peke ana ratou ano ko te haruru o nga hariata i runga i nga tihi o nga maunga, ano ko te haruru o te mura ahi e kai ana i te kakau witi, ki te iwi kaha kua oti te whakararangi mo te whawhai.
As the sound of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, and as the sound of a flame of fire devouring stubble, and as a numerous and strong people setting themselves in array for battle.
6 Ka mamae nga iwi i to ratou aroaro: ka koma nga kanohi katoa.
Before them shall the people be crushed: every face [shall be] as the blackness of a caldron.
7 Ko ta ratou oma rite tonu ki ta nga marohirohi; ko ta ratou piki i te taiepa rite tonu ki ta nga tangata whawhai; haere tonu ratou i tona ara, i tona ara, kahore o ratou ara e korara.
As warriors shall they run, and as men of war shall they mount on the walls; and each shall move in his [right] path, and they shall not turn aside from their tracks:
8 Kahore tetahi e tutetute i tona hoa; ka haere ratou i tona ara, i tona ara; a ka huaki ratou ma roto i nga rakau o te riri, a kahore e tapeka i to ratou ara.
and not one shall stand aloof from his brother: they shall go on weighed down with their arms, and they fall upon their weapons, yet shall they in no wise be destroyed.
9 Ka peke ratou ki runga ki te pa; ka oma ratou i runga i te taiepa; ka piki ratou ki roto ki nga whare; ka tomo ratou i nga matapihi, ano he tahae.
They shall seize upon the city, and run upon the walls, and go up upon the houses, and enter in through the windows as thieves.
10 Ru ana te whenua i to ratou aroaro; wiri ana nga rangi: ko te ra me te marama, pouri tonu, ka mutu ano te titi o nga whetu.
Before them the earth shall be confounded, and the sky shall be shaken: the sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.
11 Na ka puaki te reo o Ihowa i te aroaro o tana ope: nui atu hoki tana puni: he kaha hoki ia e mahi nei i tana kupu: he nui nei hoki te ra o Ihowa, he wehi rawa; ko wai e kaha ake ki reira?
And the Lord shall utter his voice before his host: for his camp is very great: for the execution of his words is mighty: for the day of the Lord is great, very glorious, and who shall be able to [resist] it?
12 Otiia inaianei nei ano, e ai ta Ihowa, tahuri koutou ki ahau, o koutou ngakau katoa, i runga ano i te nohopuku, i te tangi, i te aue:
Now therefore, says the Lord your God, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with lamentation:
13 Haea hoki o koutou ngakau, haunga o koutou kakahu, a tahuri ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua: he aroha hoki tona, he mahi tohu, he puhoi ki te riri, he nui tona atawhai, a e ripeneta ana ia ki te kino.
and rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is merciful and compassionate, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy, and repents of evils.
14 Ko wai ka tohu, tera pea ka tahuri, ka puta ke ona whakaaro, a ka mahue he manaaki i muri i a ia, ara he whakahere totokore, he ringihanga ma Ihowa, ma to koutou Atua?
Who knows if he will return, and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meat-offering and a drink-offering to the Lord your God?
15 Whakatangihia te tetere ki Hiona, whakatapua he nohopuku, karangatia he hui nui;
Sound the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, proclaim a [solemn] service:
16 Whakaminea te iwi, whakatapua te whakaminenga, tawhiua mai nga kaumatua, whakaminea nga tamariki, ratou ko nga mea ngote u: kia puta te tane marena hou i roto i tona ruma, te wahine marena hou i roto i tona whare moenga.
gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the infants at the breast: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17 Kia tangi nga tohunga, nga minita a Ihowa, ki te takiwa o te whakamahau, o te aata, me te ki atu ano, Tohungia, e Ihowa, tau iwi, kaua ano tou kainga tupu e tukua ki te ingoa kino, kia meinga ko nga tauiwi hei rangatira mo ratou: kia korerotia h ei aha i roto i nga iwi, Kei hea to ratou Atua?
Between the porch and the altar let the priests that minister to the Lord weep, and say, Spare your people, O Lord, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them, lest they should say among the heathen, Where is their God?
18 Katahi ka hae a Ihowa ki tona whenua, ka manawapa ki tana iwi.
But the Lord was jealous of his land, and spared his people.
19 A ka whakahoki mai a Ihowa, ka ki mai ki tana iwi, Tenei ahau te tuku atu nei i te witi ki a koutou, i te waina, i te hinu, e makona ai koutou; e kore ano e tuku i a koutou a muri nei hei ingoa kino i roto i nga tauiwi:
And the Lord answered and said to his people, Behold, I [will] send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them: and I will no longer make you a reproach among the Gentiles.
20 Engari ka mea ahau kia matara atu i a koutou te ope o te raki, ka aia atu ano ia e ahau ki te whenua waikore, maroke rawa; ko tona mata, anga tonu ki te moana i te rawhiti, ko tona tuara ki te moana i te uru; a ka puta ake tona piro, ka puta ake ano tona haunga kino, he nui hoki no ana mahi.
And I will chase away from you the northern [adversary], and will drive him away into a dry land, and I will sink his face in the former sea, and his back parts in the latter sea, and his ill savor shall come up, and his stink come up, because he has wrought great things.
21 Kaua e wehi, e te oneone; whakamanamana, kia koa; no te mea he nunui nga mahi a Ihowa.
Be of good courage, O land; rejoice and be glad: for the Lord has done great things.
22 Kaua e wehi, e nga kararehe o te parae; ka pihi hoki nga tarutaru o te koraha, ka hua te rakau i ona hua, e tukua mai ano tona kaha e te piki, e te waina.
Be of good courage, you beasts of the plain, for the plains of the wilderness have budded, for the trees have borne their fruit, the fig tree and the vine have yielded their strength.
23 Na whakamanamana, e nga tama a Hiona, kia koa ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua: ka tika hoki tana homai i to mua ua ki a koutou, a ka meinga e ia te ua, to mua ua, me to muri ua, kia heke iho ma koutou i te marama tuatahi.
Rejoice then and be glad, you children of Sion, in the Lord your God: for he has given you food fully, and he will rain on you the early and the latter rain, as before.
24 A ka kapi nga patunga witi i te witi; ko te waina ano me te hinu o nga waka, purena tonu.
And the floors shall be filled with corn, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 A ka whakahokia mai e ahau ki a koutou nga tau i kainga e te mawhitiwhiti, e te tatarakihi, e te moka, e te whangawhanga, e taku ope nui i tukua atu e ahau ki a koutou.
And I will recompense you for the years which the locust, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, and the cankerworm have eaten, [even] my great army, which I sent against you.
26 Ka kai noa atu ano koutou, ka makona, ka whakamoemiti hoki ki te ingoa o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua, mo tana mahi whakamiharo ki a koutou: e kore ano taku iwi e whakama a ake ake.
And you shall eat abundantly, and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the Lord your God [for the things] which he has wrought wonderfully with you: and my people shall not be ashamed for ever.
27 A ka mohio koutou kei waenga ahau i a Iharaira, ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko to koutou Atua, kahore atu hoki: e kore ano taku iwi e whakama a ake ake.
And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and [that] I am the Lord your God, and [that] there is none else beside me; and my people shall no more be ashamed for ever.
28 Na, tenei ake ka ringihia e ahau toku wairua ki nga kikokiko katoa, a e poropiti a koutou tama, a koutou tamahine, ka moemoea o koutou kaumatua, a ka kitea te kitenga e a koutou taitamariki.
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
29 I aua ra ano ka ringihia e ahau toku wairua ki nga pononga tane, ki nga pononga wahine.
And on my servants and on [my] handmaids in those days will I pour out of my Spirit.
30 Ka hoatu ano e ahau he mea whakamiharo i te rangi, i te whenua, he toto, he kapura, he pou paowa.
And I will show wonders in heaven, and upon the earth, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
31 Ka rere ke te ra, ka pouri, ka whakatoto te marama, i te mea kiano i puta mai te ra nui, te ra wehi o Ihowa.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord come.
32 Na, ko te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki te ingoa o Ihowa, ka mawhiti: no te mea hei Maunga Hiona, hei Hiruharama, etahi e mawhiti ana, pera me ta Ihowa i ki ai, a i roto ano i nga morehu etahi e karangatia ana e Ihowa.
And it shall come to pass [that] whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved: for in mount Sion and in Jerusalem shall the saved one be as the Lord has said, and they that have glad tidings preached to them, whom the Lord has called.
