Hoera 3

1 No te mea, nana, i aua ra, i taua wa e whakahokia ai e ahau a Hura raua ko Hiruharama i te whakarau,

For beholde, in those dayes and in that time, when I shall bring againe the captiuitie of Iudah and Ierusalem,

2 Ka huihuia e ahau nga iwi katoa, ka kawea ki raro ki te raorao o Iehohapata; a ka tohe ahau ki a ratou ki reira mo taku iwi, mo toku kainga tupu, mo Iharaira i whakamararatia nei e ratou ki roto ki nga iwi, a wawahia ana e ratou toku whenua.

I will also gather all nations, and wil bring them downe into the valley of Iehoshaphat, and will pleade with them there for my people, and for mine heritage Israel, whom they haue scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

3 A kua maka rota ratou mo taku iwi; a kua hoatu e ratou te tama hei utu mo te wahine kairau, a kua hokona e ratou he kotiro ki te waina, hei inu ma ratou.

And they haue cast lottes for my people, and haue giuen the childe for the harlot, and sold the girle for wine, that they might drinke.

4 Ae ra, he aha koutou ki ahau, e Taira, e Hairona, e nga rohe katoa o Pirihitia? e homai ranei e koutou he utu ki ahau? na ki te homai e koutou he utu ki ahau, hohoro tonu, kakama tonu taku whakahoki i te utu ki runga ki to koutou mahunga.

Yea, and what haue you to do with me, O Tyrus and Zidon and all the costes of Palestina? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompence mee, swiftly and speedily will I render your recompence vpon your head:

5 Mo koutou i tango i taku hiriwa, i taku koura, a kawea ana e koutou aku mea pai e matenuitia ana ki roto ki o koutou temepara;

For ye haue taken my siluer and my golde, and haue caried into your temples my goodly and pleasant things.

6 A hokona ana e koutou nga tama a Hura, nga tama o Hiruharama, ki nga tama a nga Kariki, kia matara atu ai ratou i to ratou rohe:

The children also of Iudah and the children of Ierusalem haue you solde vnto the Grecians, that ye might send them farre from their border.

7 Nana, ka ara mai ratou i ahau i te wahi i hokona atu ai ratou e koutou, ka meinga ano e ahau kia hoki to koutou utu ki runga ki o koutou mahunga;

Beholde, I will rayse them out of the place where ye haue sold them, and will render your reward vpon your owne head,

8 Ka hokona ano e ahau a koutou tama, a koutou tamahine, ki te ringa o nga tama a Hura, a ma ratou e hoko ki nga tangata o Hepa, ki te iwi i tawhiti: na Ihowa hoki te kupu.

And I will send your sonnes and your daughters into the hande of the children of Iudah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people farre off: for the Lord hath spoken it.

9 Karangatia tenei e koutou i roto i nga tauiwi; kia rite nga mea mo te whawhai, whakaohokia nga marohirohi, kia whakatata mai nga tangata whawhai katoa, kia haere mai ratou.

Publish this among the Gentiles: prepare warre, wake vp the mightie men: let all the men of warre drawe neere and come vp.

10 Patupatua a koutou hea parau hei hoari, a koutou toronaihi hei tao; me ki ake te ngoikore, He kaha ahau.

Breake your plowshares into swords, and your sithes into speares: let the weake say, I am strong.

11 Kia hohoro, ka haere mai, e nga tauiwi katoa tawhio noa, ka huihui i a koutou: meinga kia heke iho au marohirohi ki reira, e Ihowa.

Assemble your selues, and come all yee heathen and gather your selues together round about: there shall the Lord cast downe the mightie men.

12 Kia whakaohokia nga tauiwi, kia haere hoki ratou ki te raorao o Iehohapata: ka noho hoki ahau ki reira ki te whakawa mo nga tauiwi katoa a taka noa.

Let the heathen be wakened, and come vp to the valley of Iehoshaphat: for there will I sit to iudge all the heathen round about.

13 Kuhua te toronaihi ki roto, kua pakari hoki te witi: haere mai, takahia; kua ki hoki te poka waina, purena tonu nga waka waina; he nui hoki to ratou kino.

Put in your sithes, for the haruest is ripe: come, get you downe, for the winepresse is full: yea, the winepresses runne ouer, for their wickednesse is great.

14 He tini, he tini whaioio kei te raorao whakaoti tikanga! kua tata nei hoki te ra o Ihowa i te raorao whakaoti tikanga.

O multitude, O multitude, come into the valley of threshing: for the day of the Lord is neere in the valley of threshing.

15 Ka pouri te ra me te marama, ka kore ano te titi o nga whetu.

The sunne and moone shalbe darkened, and the starres shall withdrawe their light.

16 A ka hamama a Ihowa i Hiona, ka puaki tona reo i Hiruharama; a ka wiri nga rangi me te whenua; otira ko Ihowa he piringa mo tona iwi, he pa kaha mo nga tama a Iharaira.

The Lord also shall roare out of Zion, and vtter his voyce from Ierusalem, and the heauens and the earth shall shake, but the Lord wil be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

17 A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua e noho nei i Hiona, i toku maunga tapu: katahi a Hiruharama ka tapu, a heoi ano haereerenga o nga tautangata i reira.

So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, mine holy Mountaine: then shall Ierusalem bee holy, and there shall no strangers go thorowe her any more.

18 I taua ra ka maturuturu iho te waina hou o nga maunga, ka rerengia nga pukepuke e te waiu, ka rere nga wai o nga awa katoa o Hura; a ka pupu mai he puna i roto i te whare o Ihowa, hei whakamakuku i te raorao o Hitimi.

And in that day shall the mountaines drop downe newe wine, and the hilles shall flowe with milke, and al the riuers of Iudah shall runne with waters, and a fountaine shall come forth of the House of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

19 Hei ururua a Ihipa, hei koraha a Eroma, ururua rawa, mo te mahi tutu ki nga tama a Hura, mo ta ratou whakaheke i te toto harakore ki to ratou whenua.

Egypt shalbe waste, and Edom shall be a desolate wildernesse, for the iniuries of the childre of Iudah, because they haue shed innocent blood in their land.

20 Ka noho tonu ia a Hura ake ake, a Hiruharama, a tera whakatupuranga, tera whakatupuranga.

But Iudah shall dwell for euer, and Ierusalem from generation to generation.

21 Ka ma ano i ahau to ratou toto kihai i ma i ahau: e noho ana hoki a Ihowa ki Hiona.

For I will clense their blood, that I haue not clensed, and the Lord will dwell in Zion.
