Hakaraia 2

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

And I lift up my eyes, and look, 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 say, “To where are you going?” And he says to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth and how much its length.”

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 messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out 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 he says to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem is inhabited [as] open places, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.

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 am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her midst.

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.

Behold, and flee from the land of the north, A declaration of YHWH, For as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, A declaration of YHWH.

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

Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [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 said YHWH of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the pupil 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 am waving My hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And you have known that YHWH of Hosts 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.

Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.

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 have been joined to YHWH in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in your midst, And you have known that YHWH of Hosts 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 YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.

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

Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
