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, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I will cause to return the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
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.
Then will I assemble all the nations, and I will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will hold judgment with them there because of my people and my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and for my land [which] they have divided out.
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 for my people did they cast lots; and gave a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, and drank it.
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.
And also ye, what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all ye districts of Philistia? is this the recompense which ye repay me? or do ye only commence to render me evil?— swiftly and speedily will I bring back your recompense upon your own 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;
Because my silver and my gold have ye taken, and the handsomest of my precious things have ye carried into your temples;
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:
And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the sons of the Jevanim, in order to remove them far from their borders.
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;
Behold, I will awaken them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and I will bring back your recompense upon your own 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 deliver your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far 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.
Proclaim ye this among the nations, Prepare war, wake up the mighty men; let them draw near; let them come up—all the men of war.
10 Patupatua a koutou hea parau hei hoari, a koutou toronaihi hei tao; me ki ake te ngoikore, He kaha ahau.
Beat your plough-shares into swords, and your pruning-knives into spears: let the weak say, I am a hero.
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 hastily together, and come, all ye nations from every side, and gather yourselves together: there doth the Lord strike down thy mighty ones.
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 nations awake, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations from every side.
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 forth the sickle; for the harvest is ripe: come, tread down [the grapes]; for the press is full; the vats overflow; for great is their wickedness.
14 He tini, he tini whaioio kei te raorao whakaoti tikanga! kua tata nei hoki te ra o Ihowa i te raorao whakaoti tikanga.
Multitudes, multitudes are in the valley of decision; for near is the day of the Lord in the valley of decision.
15 Ka pouri te ra me te marama, ka kore ano te titi o nga whetu.
Sun and moon are obscured, and stars withdraw their brightness.
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.
And the Lord will cry aloud out of Zion, and from Jerusalem will he send forth his voice; and the heavens and the earth shall quake; but the Lord will be a refuge for his people, and a stronghold for 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 on Zion, my holy mount: and Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall not pass through 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 it came to pass on that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the ravines of Judah shall flow with water; and a spring shall come forth out 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 shall become a desolate land, and Edom shall become a desolate wilderness; because of the violence against the children of Judah, in whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20 Ka noho tonu ia a Hura ake ake, a Hiruharama, a tera whakatupuranga, tera whakatupuranga.
But Judah shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem 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.
And I will avenge their blood that I have not yet avenged; for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.
