Tepania 2
1 Huihui, ae ra, huihui i a koutou, e te iwi kahore nei he whakama;
Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
2 I te mea kiano te ture i whai hua, a kiano i pahemo te ra ano he papapa, i te mea kiano i tae iho ki a koutou te mura o to Ihowa riri, i te mea kiano i tae iho ki a koutou te ra o to Ihowa riri.
Before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD’s anger come upon you.
3 Rapua a Ihowa, e te hunga mahaki katoa o te whenua, e te hunga e mahi ana i tana i whakarite ai; rapua te tika, rapua te tikanga mahaki: me kahore koutou e piri i te ra o to Ihowa riri.
Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger.
4 No te mea tera a Kaha ka mahue, ka ururuatia a Ahakerono: ka peia atu a Aharoro i te poutumarotanga, ka hutia atu hoki a Ekerono.
For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
5 Aue, te mate mo nga tangata i nga tahatika o te moana, mo te iwi o nga Kereti! Kua korero a Ihowa i te he mou, e Kanaana, e te whenua o nga Pirihitini; ka ngaro koe i ahau, kahore he tangata hei noho.
Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD [is] against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6 A ka waiho te tahatika o te moana hei haerenga hipi, me nga whare mo nga hepara, me nga taiepa mo nga hipi.
And the sea coast shall be dwellings [and] cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7 Ka waiho ano te tahatika mo nga toenga o te whare o Hura, ka whangaia e ratou a ratou hipi ki reira; ka takoto i te ahiahi i roto i nga whare o Ahakerono: no te mea ka tirotirohia ratou e Ihowa, e to ratou Atua, a ka whakahokia mai e ia i te whak arau.
And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
8 Kua rongo ahau i ta Moapa tawai, i nga taunu a nga tama a Amona, i ta ratou tawai ki taku iwi, i ta ratou whakatete mo to ratou rohe kia nui.
I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified [themselves] against their border.
9 Mo reira e ora ana ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ta te Atua o Iharaira, he pono ka rite a Moapa ki Horoma, nga tama a Amona ki Komora, hei tupuranga ongaonga, hei rua tote, hei ururua, a ake ake: ma nga toenga o taku iwi ratou e pahua, hei kain ga tupu ratou mo nga morehu o aku tangata.
Therefore [as] I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, [even] the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
10 Hei utu tenei ki a ratou mo to ratou whakapehapeha, mo ta ratou rawai, mo ta ratou whakakake ki te iwi o Ihowa o nga mano.
This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified [themselves] against the people of the LORD of hosts.
11 Na ka wehingia a Ihowa e ratou, no te mea ka hiroki i a ia nga atua katoa o te whenua; a ka koropiko nga tangata katoa ki a ia i tona wahi, i tona wahi, ara nga motu katoa o nga tuaiwi.
The LORD [will be] terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and [men] shall worship him, every one from his place, [even] all the isles of the heathen.
12 Ko koutou ano, e nga Etiopiana, ka werohia koutou ki taku hoari.
Ye Ethiopians also, ye [shall be] slain by my sword.
13 Ka totoro ano tona ringa ki te raki, a ka ngaro a Ahiria i a ia; a ka meinga a Ninewe hei ururua, ka maroke, ka pera i te koraha.
And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, [and] dry like a wilderness.
14 A ka tapapa nga kahui ki waenganui ona, nga kirehe katoa o nga tauiwi; ka noho te kawau raua ko te matuku ki ona puku whakapaipai; ka puaki to raua reo i nga matapihi; ka ururuatia nga kuwaha: no te mea ka tu tahanga nga mea hita i a ia.
And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; [their] voice shall sing in the windows; desolation [shall be] in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.
15 Ko te pa whakamanamana tenei i noho wehikore nei, i mea nei i roto i tona ngakau, Ko ahau tenei, kahore atu hoki, ko ahau anake: ano tona ururuatanga! he tapapatanga kirehe! ko te hunga katoa e tika ana na reira ka hi atu, ka tawhi i tona ringa.
This [is] the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I [am], and [there is] none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, [and] wag his hand.
