Hakaraia 9

1 Ko te poropititanga o te kupu a Ihowa i te whenua o Hararaka. Na, ko tona taunga atu kei Ramahiku; e whai kanohi ana hoki te tangata me nga hapu katoa o Iharaira ki a Ihowa.

The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach, and of Damascus the rest thereof: for the eye of man, and of all the tribes of Israel is the Lord’s.

2 Kei Hamata ano e tata ra ki reira; kei Taira, kei Hairona no te mea he pa whakaaro nui rawa ia.

Emath also in the borders thereof, and Tyre, and Sidon: for they have taken to themselves to be exceeding wise.

3 I hanga ano e Taira he pa kaha mona, i opehia e ia te hiriwa, ano he puehu, te koura parakore, ano ko te paru o nga waharoa.

And Tyre hath built herself a strong hold, and heaped together silver as earth, and gold as the mire of the streets.

4 Nana, ma te Ariki ia e pei, ka patua hoki e ia tona kaha i te moana; ka pau ia i te ahi.

Behold the Lord shall possess her, and shall strike her strength in the sea, and she shall be devoured with fire.

5 Ka kite a Ahakerono, a ka wehi, a Kaha, nui atu te mamae, me Ekerono ano; no te mea he whakama to tana i tumanako ai; ka kore hoki to Kaha kingi; e kore ano a Ahakerono e nohoia.

Ascalon shall see, and shall fear, and Gaza, and shall be very sorrowful: and Accaron, because her hope is confounded: and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ascalon shall not be inhabited.

6 A ka nohoia a Aharoro e te poriro, ka hatepea atu ano e ahau te whakapehapeha o nga Pirihitini.

And the divider shall sit in Azotus, and I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.

7 Ka kore ano i ahau ona toto i roto i tona mangai, me ana mea whakarihariha i waenganui i ona niho; na, hei morehu ia mo to tatou Atua, ka rite ano ki te kawana i roto i a Hura, ka rite ano a Ekerono ki te Iepuhi.

And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: and even he shall be left to our God, and he shall be as a governor in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite.

8 Ka nohoia ano e ahau nga taha o toku whare, hei arai mo te taua, mo te tangata ano e tika ana na reira, mo te tangata e hoki ana; e kore ano te kaitukino e tika na waenga i a ratou a muri ake nei: kua kite nei hoki oku kanohi inaianei.

And I will encompass my house with them that serve me in war, going and returning, and the oppressor shall no more pass through them: for now I have seen with my eyes.

9 Kia nui te whakamanamana, e te tamahine a Hiona, hamama, e te tamahine a Hiruharama, nana, ko tou Kingi e haere na ki a koe: he tika ia, he whakaora, he ngakau mahaki, e noho ana i runga i te kaihe, i te kuao ano, i te tama a te kaihe.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion, shout for joy, O daughter of Jerusalem: BEHOLD THY KING will come to thee, the just and saviour: he is poor, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

10 A ka hatepea atu e ahau te hariata o Eparaima, me te hoiho o Hiruharama; ka hatepea atu ano te kopere o te whawhai: mo te rongo mau hoki ana kupu ki nga tauiwi; ka kingi ano ia i tetahi moana a tae noa ki tetahi moana, i te awa a tae noa ki nga pito o te whenua.

And I will destroy the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow for war shall be broken: and he shall speak peace to the Gentiles, and his power shall be from sea to sea, and from the rivers even to the end of the earth.

11 Me koe ano, na te toto o tau kawenata i unga atu ai e ahau ou herehere i roto i te poka kahore nei ona wai.

Thou also by the blood of thy testament hast sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit, wherein is no water.

12 Tahuri ki te pa kaha, e nga herehere, e te hunga e tumanako ana: i tenei ra nei me whakaatu e ahau e rua aku whakautu ki a koe:

Return to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope, I will render thee double at, I declare today.

13 Kua piko hoki i ahau a Hura maku, kua whakakiia te kopere ki a Eparaima; a ka oho i ahau au tama, e Hiona, ki te whawhai ki au tama, e Kariki, ka meinga hoki koe e ahau kia rite ki te hoari a te marohirohi.

Because I have bent Juda for me as a bow, I have filled Ephraim: and I will raise up thy sons, O Sion, above thy sons, O Greece, and I will make thee as the sword of the mighty.

14 A ka kitea a Ihowa i runga i a ratou, ka puta atu ano tana pere ano he uira: ka tangi hoki te tetere a te Ariki, a Ihowa, a ka haere ia i runga i nga tukauati o te tonga.

And the Lord God shall be seen over them, and his dart shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and go in the whirlwind of the south.

15 Ma Ihowa o nga mano ratou e tiaki; a ka kai ratou, a ka takahi i nga kohatu o te kotaha; ka inu ano ratou, ka hamama me te mea na te waina; ka ki ratou ano he peihana, ano ko nga koki o te aata.

The Lord of hosts will protect them: and they shall devour, and subdue with the stones of the sling: and drinking they shall be inebriated as it were with wine, and they shall be filled as bowls, and as the horns of the altar.

16 Na ka whakaora a Ihowa, to ratou Atua, i a ratou i taua ra, me he kahui no tana iwi: ka rite hoki ratou ki nga kohatu o te karauna, maiangi rawa i runga i tona whenua.

And the Lord their God will save them in that day, as the dock of his people: for holy stones shall be lifted up over his land.

17 Na koia ano tona pai, koia ano tona ataahua! ka tupu nga tama i te witi, nga kotiro i te waina hou.

For what is the good thing of him, and what is his beautiful thing, but the corn of the elect, and wine springing forth virgins?
