Hakaraia 8
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa o nga mano ki ahau, i mea,
And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying:
2 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Nui atu te hae i hae ai ahau ki Hiona, he nui hoki te riri i hae ai ahau ki a ia.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have been jealous for Sion with a great jealousy, and with a great indignation have I been jealous for her.
3 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; Kua hoki nei ahau ki Hiona, kua noho ki Hiruharama; a tera e kiia a Hiruharama, Ko te pa o te pono, ko te maunga o Ihowa o nga mano, Ko te maunga tapu.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I am returned to Sion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, The sanctified mountain.
4 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tenei ake ka noho he koroheke, he ruruhi ki nga waharoa o Hiruharama, rite rawa te ringa o tenei, o tenei, i te tokotoko, he maha hoki no nga tau.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem: and every man with his staff in his hand through multitude of days.
5 Ko nga waharoa ano o te pa kapi tonu i nga tamariki tane, i nga kotiro e takaro ana i ona waharoa.
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls, playing in the streets thereof.
6 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; Ki te pakeke ki te titiro a nga morehu o tenei iwi i aua ra, e pakeke ano ranei ki taku titiro? e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: If it seem hard in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days: shall it be hard in my eyes, saith the Lord of hosts?
7 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tenei ahau te whakaora nei i taku iwi i te whenua ki te rawhiti, i te whenua ano hoki ki te hauauru.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will save my people from the land of the east, and from the land of the going down of the sun.
8 Ka kawea mai ano ratou e ahau, ka noho ratou ki waenganui o Hiruharama, a hei iwi ratou maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo ratou i runga i te pono, i te tika.
And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God in truth and in justice.
9 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Kia kaha o koutou ringa, e te hunga e rongo ana i enei ra ki enei kupu o roto i te mangai o nga poropiti i te ra i whakatakotoria ai te turanga mo te whare o Ihowa o nga mano, ara mo te temepara kia hanga ai.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Let your hands be strengthened, you that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, in the day that the house of the Lord of hosts was founded, that the temple might be built.
10 I mua hoki i enei ra kahore he utu mo te mahi a te tangata, kahore he utu mo ta te kararehe; kahore hoki he ata noho mo te tangata i haere atu, mo te tangata ano i haere mai, i te hoariri hoki; naku hoki i mea nga tangata katoa kia whawhai ki to na hoa, ki tona hoa.
For before those days there was no hire for men, neither was there hire for beasts, neither was there peace to him that came in, nor to him that went out, because of the tribulation: and I let all men go every one against his neighbour.
11 Na e kore taku inaianei ki nga morehu o tenei iwi e rite ki to nga ra o mua, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people according to the former days, saith the Lord of hosts.
12 No te mea ka ai te purapura o te rongo mau, ka tukua mai ona hua e te waina, ka tukua mai ano ona mau e te whenua, ka homai hoki to ratou tomairangi e nga rangi; maku ano e mea nga morehu o tenei iwi kia whiwhi ki enei mea katoa.
But there shall be the seed of peace: the vine shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew: and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
13 Na i mua hei kanga koutou i roto i nga iwi, e te whare o Hura, e te whare o Iharaira, ka pena te nui o taku whakaora i a koutou, a hei manaakitanga koutou: kaua e wehi, kia kaha o koutou ringa.
And it shall come to pass, that as you were a curse among the Gentiles, O house of Juda, and house of Israel: so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing: fear not, let your hands be strengthened.
14 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ka rite ki taku meatanga i te he mo koutou i te whakapataritaringa a o koutou matua ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, a kihai toku whakaaro i puta ke:
For thus saith the Lord of hosts: As I purposed to afflict you, when your fathers had provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord,
15 Ka pera ano te hoki ake o toku whakaaro i enei ra ki te pai kia meatia ki Hiruharama, ki te whare ano o Hura: kaua e wehi.
And I had no mercy: so turning again I have thought in these days to do good to the house of Juda, and Jerusalem: fear not.
16 Ko a koutou enei e mea ai; Korerotia te pono ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa; kia pono, kia whai i te rangimarie ta koutou whakarite whakawa i o koutou kuwaha:
These then are the things, which you shall do: Speak ye truth every one to his neighbour: judge ye truth and judgment of peace in your gates.
17 Kaua hoki e whakaaroa he kino i roto i o koutou ngakau ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa; kaua ano e arohaina te oati teka; no te mea e kinongia ana enei mea katoa e ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his friend: and love not a false oath: for all these are the things that I hate, saith the Lord.
18 I puta ano te kupu a Ihowa o nga mano ki ahau: i mea,
And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying:
19 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ko te nohopuku o te wha o nga marama, ko te nohopuku o te rima, ko te nohopuku o te whitu, ko te nohopuku o te ngahuru, hei oranga ngakau ena ki te whare o Hura, hei mea whakahari, hei hakari harakoa; na aroh aina te pono me te ata noho.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Juda, joy, and gladness, and great solemnities: only love ye truth and peace.
20 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tenei ake ka tae mai he iwi, he tangata i nga pa maha:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, until people come, and dwell in many cities,
21 A ka haere nga tangata o tetahi pa ki tetahi pa, ka mea, Hapainga, tatou ka haere ki te inoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki te rapu i a Ihowa o nga mano: ka haere ano hoki ahau.
And the inhabitants go one to another, saying: Let us go, and entreat the face of the Lord, and let us seek the Lord of hosts: I also will go.
22 Ae ra, he tini nga iwi, he kaha nga tauiwi e haere mai ki te rapu i a Ihowa o nga mano i Hiruharama, ki te inoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
And many peoples, and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the face of the Lord.
23 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, i aua ra ka hopu nga tangata kotahi tekau, he hunga no nga reo katoa o nga iwi, ka hopu i te remu o to tetahi Hurai, ka mea, Kia haere tahi tatou; kua rongo hoki matou kei a koutou te Atua.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: In those days, wherein ten men of all languages of the Gentiles shall take hold, and shall hold fast the shirt of one that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
