Hakaraia 10

1 Inoia he ua i a Ihowa i te wa o to muri ua; ara i a Ihowa e hanga nei i nga uira, he nui ano te ua e homai e ia ki a ratou, he tarutaru i te mara ma tenei, ma tenei.

Aske you of the Lord raine in the time of the latter raine: so shall the Lord make white cloudes, and giue you showers of raine, and to euery one grasse in the field.

2 He tekateka noa hoki te korero a nga terapimi, he teka te kite a nga tohunga, he horihori nga moe i korerotia e ratou; he hanga noa iho ta ratou whakamarie, na reira haere ana ratou ano he kahui hipi; karangirangi kau ana i te kore hepara.

Surely the idols haue spoken vanitie, and the southsayers haue seene a lye, and the dreamers haue tolde a vaine thing: they comfort in vaine: therefore they went away as sheepe: they were troubled, because there was no shepheard.

3 I mura toku riri ki nga hepara, i whiua ano e ahau nga koati toa: kua tae mai hoki a Ihowa o nga mano ki tana kahui, ki te whare o Hura, kua mea i a ratou hei hoiho atanga mona i te tatauranga.

My wrath was kindled against the shepherdes, and I did visite the goates: but the Lord of hostes will visite his flocke the house of Iudah, and will make them as his beautifull horse in the battell.

4 No roto i a ia te putanga ake o te kohatu o te kokonga, no roto i a ia te whao, no roto i a ia te kopere mo te tatauranga, no roto i a ia nga kaiakiaki katoa, rupeke, rupeke.

Out of him shall the corner come foorth: out of him the nayle, out of him ye bowe of battell, and out of him euery appointer of tribute also.

5 A ka rite ratou ki nga marohirohi e takatakahi ana i o ratou hoariri ki te paru o nga waharoa i te mea e whawhai ana: ka whawhai ano ratou, no te mea kei a ratou a Ihowa, a ka whakama nga kaieke hoiho.

And they shalbe as the mightie men, which treade downe their enemies in the mire of the streetes in the battell, and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

6 Na ka kaha i ahau te whare o Hura, ka ora ano i ahau te whare o Hohepa, ka whakahokia ki te nohoanga; no te mea ka tohungia ratou e ahau, a me te mea kihai ratou i peia e ahau; ko ahau hoki, ko Ihowa, to ratou Atua, ka whakarongo ano ahau ki a ra tou.

And I will strengthen the house of Iudah, and I will preserue the house of Ioseph, and I wil bring them againe, for I pitie them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and will heare them.

7 Na ka rite nga Eparaimi ki te marohirohi, ka koa ano to ratou ngakau me te mea na te waina: ka kite ano a ratou tamariki, a ka koa; ka whakamanamana to ratou ngakau ki a Ihowa.

And they of Ephraim shall be as a gyant, and their heart shall reioyce as thorowe wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad: and their heart shall reioyce in the Lord.

8 Ka hi ahau ki a ratou, ka huihui i a ratou; kua hokona hoki ratou e ahau; a ka tini ratou, ka pera me ratou i tini ra.

I will hisse for them, and gather them: for I haue redeemed them: and they shall encrease, as they haue encreased.

9 A ka whakatokia ratou e ahau ki roto ki nga iwi, ka mahara ano ratou ki ahau i nga whenua tawhiti, ka ora hoki ratou me a ratou tamariki, a ka hoki.

And I will sowe them among the people, and they shall remember me in farre countreys: and they shall liue with their children and turne againe.

10 Ka whakahokia mai ano ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, ka huihuia mai i Ahiria; ka kawea ano ki te whenua o Kireara, ki Repanona, te kitea he wahi mo ratou.

I will bring them againe also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Asshur: and I will bring them into the land of Gilead, and Lebanon, and place shall not be found for them.

11 Na ka tika atu ia i waenga moana, ara i te raruraru, a ka patu i nga ngaru i te moana, ka maroke hoki nga wahi hohonu o te awa, a ka riro iho te whakapehapeha o Ahiria, ka riro ke ano te hepeta o Ihipa.

And he shall goe into the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waues in the sea, and all the depthes of the riuer shall drye vp: and the pride of Asshur shall be cast downe, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart away.

12 Ka whakakahangia ano ratou e ahau i runga i a Ihowa; ka haereere hoki ratou i runga i tona ingoa, e ai ta Ihowa.

And I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walke in his Name, sayth the Lord.
