Hakaraia 8
1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa o nga mano ki ahau, i mea,
And the word of Yahweh of hosts came, 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 Yahweh of hosts, I am jealous for Zion with a great jealousy, —Yea, with great wrath, am I 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 Yahweh, I have returned unto Zion, and will make my habitation in the midst of Jerusalem, —and Jerusalem, shall be called, The city of fidelity, and the mountain of Yahweh of hosts, The mountain of holiness.
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 Yahweh of hosts, Yet shall old men and old women sit in the broadways of Jerusalem, —Yea, each one with his staff in his hand for 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 broadways of the city, shall be full of boys and girls, —playing in the broadways 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 Yahweh of hosts, Because it will be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people, in those days, In mine own eyes also, shall it be marvellous? Demandeth Yahweh 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 Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! saving my people out of the land of the dawn, —and out of the land of the going in 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 in, and they shall have their habitation in the midst of Jerusalem, —and shall become my people, and, I, will become their God, In faithfulness and in righteousness.
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 Yahweh of hosts, Let your hands be strong, ye who are hearing, in these days, these words, —from the mouth of the prophets who, on the day the house of Yahweh of hosts, was founded, [foretold] that, the temple, should 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.
That, before those days, hire for man, could not be obtained, and, hire for beast, was there none, —and, neither to him who went out nor to him who came in, was there success by reason of the danger, Yea I let all men loose, each 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, not as in the former days, am I to this remnant of the people, —Declareth Yahweh 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.
For, the seed, shall be secure—the vine, shall yield her fruit, and the land, yield her increase, and the heavens, yield their dew, —and I will cause this remnant of the people to inherit 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—Just as ye had become a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, So, will I save you, and ye shall become a blessing, —Do not fear, let your hands, be strong.
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 Yahweh of hosts, Just as I planned to bring calamity upon you, when your fathers provoked me, saith Yahweh of hosts, —and I relented not,
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.
So, have I again planned, in these days, to do good unto Jerusalem, and unto the house of Judah, —Do not fear!
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, are the things which ye shall do: Speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour, truth and the sentence of peace, pronounce ye 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, no man, devise, the injury of his neighbour, in your heart, and the oath of falsehood, do not love, —for, all these, are things which I hate, declareth Yahweh.
18 I puta ano te kupu a Ihowa o nga mano ki ahau: i mea,
And the word of Yahweh of hosts came unto 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 Yahweh of hosts—The fast of the fourth, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the eleventh, shall become to the house of Judah a gladness and a rejoicing, and pleasant appointed meetings, —But, truth and peace, see that ye love.
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 Yahweh of hoses, —It shall yet be that there shall come in peoples, and the inhabitants of 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 of one city, shall go, unto them of another, saying, Let us be going on to pacify the face of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh 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.
So shall enter many peoples, and strong nations, to seek Yahweh of hosts in Jerusalem, —and to pacify the face of Yahweh.
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 Yahweh of hosts, In those days, [it shall be] that ten men out of all the tongues of the nations, shall take hold, —yea take hold of the skirt of every one that is a Jew, saying—We will go with you! For we have heard [that], God, is with you.
