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;
Blow a horn in Zion, And shout in My holy hill, All inhabitants of the earth tremble, For the Day of YHWH is coming, for [it 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.
A day of darkness and thick darkness, A day of cloud and thick darkness, As darkness spread on the mountains, A people numerous and mighty, Like there has not been from of old, And after it there is not again—Until the years of generation and generation.
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 it fire has consumed, And after it a flame burns, As the Garden of Eden [is] the land before it, And after it a wilderness—a desolation! And also there has not been to it an escape,
4 Ko to ratou ahua kei to nga hoiho; ko ta ratou oma rite tonu ki ta te kaieke hoiho.
As the appearance of horses [is] its appearance, And as horsemen, so they run.
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 noise of chariots, they skip on the tops of the mountains, As the noise of a flame of fire devouring stubble, As a mighty people set in array for battle.
6 Ka mamae nga iwi i to ratou aroaro: ka koma nga kanohi katoa.
Pained are peoples from its face, All faces have gathered paleness.
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.
They run as mighty ones, As men of war they go up a wall, And they each go in his own ways, And they do not change their paths.
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 each does not press his brother, They each go on in his way, If they fall by the missile, they are not cut off.
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.
In the city they run to and fro, On the wall they run, Into houses they go up by the windows, They go in as a thief.
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.
At their face the earth has trembled, The heavens have shaken, Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
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 YHWH has given forth His voice before His force, For His camp [is] very great, For mighty [is] the doer of His word, For great [is] the Day of YHWH—very fearful, And who bears 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:
“And also now,” a declaration of YHWH, “Turn back 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 tear your heart, and not your garments, And turn back to your God YHWH, For He [is] gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, And relenting from evil.
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—He turns back, Indeed—He has relented, And He has left behind Him a blessing, A present and drink-offering of your God YHWH?
15 Whakatangihia te tetere ki Hiona, whakatapua he nohopuku, karangatia he hui nui;
Blow a horn in Zion, Sanctify a fast—proclaim a restraint.
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 an assembly, Assemble the aged, Gather infants and sucklings of the breasts, Let a bridegroom go out from his inner chamber, And a 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?
Let the priests weep between the porch and the altar, servants of YHWH, And let them say: “Have pity, O YHWH, on Your people, And do not give Your inheritance to reproach, To the ruling over them of nations, Why do they say among peoples, Where [is] their God?”
18 Katahi ka hae a Ihowa ki tona whenua, ka manawapa ki tana iwi.
And let YHWH be zealous for His land, And have pity on 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:
Let YHWH answer and say to His people, “Behold, I am sending to you the grain, And the new wine, and the oil, And you have been satisfied with it, And I make you no longer a reproach among nations,
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 the northern I put far off from you, And have driven him to a land dry and desolate, With his face toward the Eastern Sea, And his rear to the Western Sea, And his stink has come up, And his stench comes up, For he has exerted himself to work.”
21 Kaua e wehi, e te oneone; whakamanamana, kia koa; no te mea he nunui nga mahi a Ihowa.
Do not fear, O land! Be glad and rejoice, For YHWH has exerted Himself to work.
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.
Do not fear, O livestock of the field! For pastures of a wilderness have sprung up, For the tree has borne its fruit, Fig tree and vine have given 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.
And you sons of Zion, Be glad and rejoice in your God YHWH, For He has given to you the Teacher for righteousness, And causes a shower to come down to you, Early rain and spring rain [as] in the beginning.
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 have been full [with] pure grain, And the presses have overflown [with] new 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 have repaid to you the years that the locust consumed, The cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, My great force that 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 have eaten, eating and being satisfied, And have praised the Name of your God YHWH, Who has dealt with you wonderfully, And My people are not ashamed for all time.
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 have known that I [am] in the midst of Israel, And I [am] your God YHWH, and there is none else, And My people are not ashamed for all time.
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 has come to pass afterward, I pour out My Spirit on all flesh, And your sons and your daughters have prophesied, Your old men dream dreams, Your young men see visions.
29 I aua ra ano ka ringihia e ahau toku wairua ki nga pononga tane, ki nga pononga wahine.
And also on the menservants and on the maidservants, In those days I pour out 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 have given wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood, and fire, and columns 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 is turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, Before the coming of the Day of YHWH, The great and the fearful.
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 has come to pass, Everyone who calls on the Name of YHWH is delivered, For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there is an escape, As YHWH has said, And among the remnants whom YHWH is calling!”
