Hakaraia 2

1 I maranga ake ano oku kanohi, i titiro, na ko tetahi tangata, he aho ruri i tona ringa.

And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

2 Na ka mea ahau, E haere ana koe ki hea? A ka mea ia ki ahau, Ki te whanganga i Hiruharama, kia kitea ai he aha tona whanui, he aha tona roa.

And I said to him, Whither go you? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.

3 Na ka haere te anahera i korero ra ki ahau, a ka puta ano tetahi anahera ki te whakatau i a ia,

And, behold, the angel that spoke with me stood [by], and another angel went forth to meet him,

4 A ka mea atu ki a ia, E oma, korero atu ki te taitama nei, ki atu, Ka nohoia a Hiurharama, ka rite ki nga pa taiepakore, i te tini hoki o te tangata, o nga kararehe i roto:

and spoke to him, saying, Run and speak to that young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be fully inhabited by reason of the abundance of men and cattle in the midst of her.

5 No te mea ko ahau, ko Ihowa, hei taiepa ahi ahau ki a ia a tawhio noa, a ko ahau hei kororia i roto i a ia.

And I will be to her, says the Lord, a wall of fire round about, and I will be for a glory in the midst of her.

6 Ho ho! rere mai i te whenua o te raki, e ai ta Ihowa; kua whakamararatia atu hoki koutou e ahau me te mea ko nga hau e wha o te rangi, e ai ta Ihowa.

Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says the Lord: for I will gather you from the four winds of heaven, says the Lord,

7 E Hiona, kawhaki i a koe, e koe e noho mai na i te tamahine a Papurona.

[even] to Sion: deliver yourselves, you that dwell [with] the daughter of Babylon.

8 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; No muri i te kororia kua unga ahau e ia ki nga tauiwi nana na koutou i pahua; ko te tangata hoki e pa ana ki a koutou, e pa ana ki te whatupango o tona kanohi.

For thus says the Lord Almighty; After the glory has he sent me to the nations that spoiled you: for he that touches you is as one that touches the apple of his eye.

9 Na, tenei ka ruru toku ringa ki a ratou, a hei taonga parau ratou ma a ratou pononga; a ka mohio koutou na Ihowa o nga mano ahau i unga mai.

For, behold, I bring my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to them that serve them: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.

10 Waiata, kia koa, e te tamahine a Hiona: no te mea na, kei te haere atu ahau, a ka noho ahau i roto i a koe, e ai ta Ihowa.

Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Sion: for, behold, I come, and will dwell in the midst of you, says the Lord.

11 A he maha nga iwi e whakauru i a ratou ki a Ihowa i taua ra, a ko ratou hei iwi maku: a ka noho ahau i roto i a koe, a ka mohio koe na Ihowa o nga mano ahau i unga mai ki a koe.

And many nations shall flee for refuge to the Lord in that day, and they shall be for a people to him, and they shall dwell in the midst of you: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.

12 A ka riro i a Ihowa a Hura hei wahi tupu mana i te whenua tapu, tera ano hoki ia ka whiriwhiri Hiruharama.

And the Lord shall inherit Juda his portion in the holy [land], and he will yet choose Jerusalem.

13 Whakarongoa, e nga kikokiko katoa, i te aroaro o Ihowa: kua whakaohokia mai hoki ia i tona kainga tapu.

Let all flesh fear before the Lord: for he has risen up from his holy clouds.
