Hakaraia 12

1 Ko te poropititanga, he kupu na Ihowa mo Iharaira, E ai ta Ihowa, nana nei nga rangi i hora, nana te whenua i whakatu, nana i whai ahua ai te wairua o te tangata i roto i a ia.

The burden of the word of the Lord upon Israel. Thus saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundations of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man in him:

2 Tenei ahau te mea nei i Hiruharama hei kapu wiri ki nga iwi katoa a taka noa; ka pehi ano i a Hura i te whakapaenga o Hiruharama.

Behold I will make Jerusalem a lintel of surfeiting to all the people round about: and Juda also shall be in the siege against Jerusalem.

3 Na i taua ra ka meinga e ahau a Hiruharama hei kohatu taimaha ki nga iwi katoa: ko te hunga katoa e hapai ana ka maruru rawa, a ka huihui nga iwi katoa o te whenua ki te tu ki a ia.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all people: all that shall lift it up shall be rent and torn, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall be gathered together against her.

4 I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa, ka patua e ahau ki te miharo nga hoiho katoa, me o ratou kaieke ki te haurangi: a ka titiro matatau oku kanohi ki te whare o Hura, ka patua ano e ahau nga hoiho katoa o nga iwi ki te matapo.

In that day, saith the Lord, I will strike every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Juda, and will strike every horse of the nations with blindness.

5 A ka mea nga rangatira o Hura i roto i o ratou ngakau, Ko nga tangata o Hiruharama hei kaha moku i runga i to ratou Atua, i a Ihowa o nga mano.

And the governors of Juda shall say in their heart: Let the inhabitants of Jerusalem be strengthened for me in the Lord of hosts, their God.

6 I taua ra ka meinga e ahau nga rangatira o Hura kia rite ki te kanga ahi i roto i nga rakau, kia rite ano ki te rama ahi i roto i te paihere; ka pau hoki i a ratou nga iwi katoa i te taha matau, i te taha maui, a karapoi noa; a tera a Hiruharama e noho ano i runga i tona turanga, ara i Hiruharama.

In that day I will make the governors of Juda like a furnace of fire amongst wood, and as a firebrand amongst hay: and they shall devour all the people round about, to the right hand, and to the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place in Jerusalem.

7 Na ka whakaora a Ihowa i nga teneti o Hura i te tuatahi, kei whakapehapeha te kororia o te whare o Rawiri, te kororia ranei o nga tangata o Hiruharama ki a Hura.

And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda, as in the beginning: that the house of David, and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not boast and magnify themselves against Juda.

8 I taua ra ka tiakina e Ihowa nga tangata o Hiruharama; na, ko te tangata ngoikore i roto i a ratou, ka rite i taua ra ki a Rawiri; ko te whare o Rawiri ki te Atua, ki te anahera a Ihowa i to ratou aroaro.

In that day shall the Lord protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he that hath offended among them in that day shall be as David: and the house of David, as that of God, as an angel of the Lord in their sight.

9 I taua ra ka whai ahau kia whakangaromia nga iwi katoa e haere mai ana ki te whawhai ki Hiruharama.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

10 Ka ringihia ano e ahau te wairua o te aroha noa, o nga inoi ki runga ki te whare o Rawiri, ki nga tangata o Hiruharama, a ka titiro ratou ki ahau ki ta ratou i wero ai, ka tangi ano ki a ia, me te mea e tangi ana ki tana huatahi, ka pouri ano ki a ia, me te mea e pouri ana ki tana matamua.

And I will pour out upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace, and of prayers: and they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced: and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for an only son, and they shall grieve over him, as the manner is to grieve for the death of the firstborn.

11 I taua ra ka nui te tangi i roto i Hiruharama, ka rite ki te tangi i Harararimono i te raorao o Mekirono.

In that day there shall be a great lamentation in Jerusalem like the lamentation of Adadremmon in the plain of Mageddon.

12 A ka tangi te whenua, tenei hapu, tenei hapu, wehe rawa; ko te hapu o te whare o Rawiri wehe rawa, ko a ratou wahine wehi rawa; ko te hapu o te whare o Natana wehe rawa, ko a ratou wahine wehe rawa;

And the land shall mourn: families and families apart: the families of the house of David apart, and their women apart:

13 Ko te hapu o te whare o Riwai wehe rawa, ko a ratou wahine wehe rawa; ko te hapu o Himei wehe rawa, ko a ratou wahine wehe rawa,

The families of the house of Nathan apart, and their women apart: the families of the house of Levi apart, and their women apart: the families of Semei apart, and their women apart.

14 Ko nga hapu katoa e toe ana, ko tenei hapu, ko tenei hapu, wehe rawa, me a ratou wahine wehe rawa.

All the rest of the families, families and families apart, and their women apart.
