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 concerning Israel. [Thus] saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within 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 cup of reeling unto all the peoples round about, and upon Judah also shall it 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 for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.

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 smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples 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 chieftains of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength 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 will I make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a torch of fire among sheaves; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall yet again dwell in her own place, even 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.

The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not magnified above Judah.

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 defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.

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 upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto me whom they have pierced: and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his 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 shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

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, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives 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 family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives 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 families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
