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 oracle of the word of Yahweh, on Israel, —Declareth Yahweh—Stretching out the heavens, and founding the earth, and fashioning 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.

Lo! I am making Jerusalem a bowl of reeling to all the peoples, round about, —Moreover also, on Judah, 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 lifting-stone, to all the peoples, all who seek to lift her, shall, cut themselves in pieces, —though all the nations of the earth, gather themselves 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, Declareth Yahweh, I will smite every horse with terror, and his rider with madness, —and, over the house of Judah, will I keep opening mine eyes, and, every horse of the peoples, will I smite 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.

Then will the chiefs of Judah say in their hearts, —A strength unto me, [would be] the inhabitants of Jerusalem, in Yahweh 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 chiefs of Judah like a pan of fire among sticks, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf, so shall they devour, on the right hand and on the left, all the peoples round about; so shall Jerusalem yet, be inhabited, in her own place, as 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.

But Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, —lest the honour of the house of David, and the honour of the inhabitant of Jerusalem, should be magnified over 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, will Yahweh, throw a covering, around the inhabitant of Jerusalem, so shall the tottering among them, in that day, become like David, —and the house of David—like God, like the messenger of Yahweh, 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.

But I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem, the spirit of favour, and of supplications, and they will look unto me, whom they have pierced, —and will wail over him, as one waileth over an only son, and will make bitter outcry over him, as one maketh bitter outcry over a 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, will the wailing, be great, in Jerusalem, as the wailing 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;

So shall the land, wail, family by 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 Shimei, 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, family by family, apart, —and their wives, apart.
