Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babel, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see.
Ko te poropititanga mo Papurona i kitea e Ihaia tama a Amoho.
2 Lift vp a standard vpon the hie mountaine: lift vp the voyce vnto them: wagge the hand, that they may goe into the gates of the nobles.
Whakaarahia he kara ki runga ki te maunga horehore, kia rahi te reo ki a ratou, tawhiritia atu te ringa kia haere mai ai ratou ki roto ki nga kuwaha o nga rangatira.
3 I haue commanded them, that I haue sanctified: and I haue called ye mightie to my wrath, and them that reioyce in my glorie.
Kua oti aku i whakatapu ai te whakahau, kua karangatia ano hoki e ahau aku marohirohi ki toku riri, ara aku e whakamanamana nui nei.
4 The noyse of a multitude is in the mountaines, like a great people: a tumultuous voyce of the kingdomes of the nations gathered together: the Lord of hostes nombreth the hoste of the battell.
Ko te haruru o te huihui i runga i nga maunga, tona rite kei to te iwi nui! he haruru, he ngangau no te huihui o nga kingitanga o nga iwi! e whakataka ana e Ihowa o nga mano te ope mo te whawhai.
5 They come from a farre countrey, from the end of the heauen: euen the Lord with the weapons of his wrath to destroy the whole land.
E haere mai nei ratou i tawhiti, i te pito o te rangi, a Ihowa me nga patu a tona riri, ki te whakangaro i te whenua katoa!
6 Howle you, for the day of the Lord is at hande: it shall come as a destroier from the Almightie.
Aue koutou, kua tata hoki te ra o Ihowa; tera e puta mai, ano he whakangaromanga na te Kaha Rawa.
7 Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all mens hearts shall melt,
No reira ka ngoikore nga ringa katoa, ka ngohe noa iho nga ngakau katoa o nga tangata.
8 And they shalbe afraid: anguish and sorowe shall take them, and they shall haue paine, as a woman that trauaileth: euery one shall be amased at his neighbour, and their faces shalbe like flames of fire.
Ka ohorere ano ratou: mau pu i te mamae, i te whakapouri; ko to ratou mamae koia ano kei to te wahine e whakawhanau ana: ka miharo ratou tetahi ki tetahi, a ko o ratou mata, ano he mura ahi.
9 Beholde, the day of the Lord commeth, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land wast: and he shall destroy the sinners out of it.
Nana, e haere mai nei te ra o Ihowa, he kino, he riri, he whakatakariri e mura ana; hei whakaururua i te whenua, hei whakangaro atu hoki i reira i ona tangata hara.
10 For the starres of heauen and the planets thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going foorth, and the moone shall not cause her light to shine.
Ko nga whetu hoki o te rangi, ko nga kahui whetu ano hoki o reira, kahore e homai i to ratou marama: ka pouri noa iho te ra i tona haerenga mai, kore ake hoki e titi te atarau.
11 And I will visite the wickednes vpon the worlde, and their iniquitie vpon the wicked, and I wil cause the arrogancie of the proud to cease, and will cast downe the pride of tyrants.
Ka whiua ano e ahau te ao mo to ratou kino, te hunga kino hoki, mo to ratou he; ka whakamutua hoki e ahau te whakapehapeha o te hunga whakakake, ka whakahokia iho ano ki raro te whakapehapeha o te hunga kino.
12 I will make a man more precious then fine golde, euen a man aboue the wedge of golde of Ophir.
Ka meinga ano e ahau kia nui atu te utu mo te tangata i to te koura pai; ae ra, he tangata, kia nui atu i to te koura parakore o Opira.
13 Therefore I will shake the heauen, and the earth shall remooue out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hostes, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Na reira ka meinga e ahau nga rangi kia wiri, ka ruperupea atu ano te whenua i tona wahi, he riri no Ihowa o nga mano, he ra ano e mura ai tona riri.
14 And it shall be as a chased doe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp. euery man shall turne to his owne people, and flee eche one to his owne lande.
A ka rite ki te anaterope e whaia ana, ki nga hipi kahore nei o ratou kaihuihui, ka tahuri ratou ki tona iwi, ki tona iwi, ka rere ki tona whenua, ki tona whenua.
15 Euery one that is founde, shall be striken through: and whosoeuer ioyneth himselfe, shall fal by the sworde.
Ko te hunga katoa e kitea ana, ka werohia; ko te hunga katoa e hopukia ana, ka hinga i te hoari.
16 Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished.
Ka taia iho hoki a ratou kohungahunga i ta ratou tirohanga; ka pahuatia o ratou whare, ka moea ano a ratou wahine.
17 Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regarde siluer, nor be desirous of golde.
Tenei ahau te whakaoho atu nei i nga Meri ki a ratou, he hunga e kore nei e whakaaro ki te hiriwa; na, ko te koura, e kore e matenuitia e ratou.
18 With bowes also shall they destroy ye children, and shall haue no compassion vpon the fruit of the wombe, and their eies shall not spare the children.
Ka taia iho ano hoki nga taitamariki e a ratou kopere, mongamonga noa; e kore ano e tohungia nga hua o te kopu; e kore o ratou kanohi e manawapa ki nga tamariki.
19 And Babel the glorie of kingdomes, the beautie and pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as the destruction of God in Sodom and Gomorah.
A ko Papurona, ko te kororia o nga kingitanga, ko te mea ataahua whakahirahira a nga Karari, tera ia e rite ki ta te Atua hurihanga i Horoma, i Komora.
20 It shall not bee inhabited for euer, neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, neither shall the shepheardes make their foldes there.
E kore e nohoia a, ake ake, e kore e waiho hei kainga a, tena whakatupuranga, tena whakatupuranga; e kore ano e whakaturia e te Arapi tona teneti ki reira; e kore ano a reira e waiho e nga hepara hei takotoranga mo a ratou kahui.
21 But Ziim shall lodge there, and their houses shall be ful of Ohim: Ostriches shall dwel there, and the Satyrs shall dance there.
Engari hei takotoranga a reira mo nga kuri mahoao o te koraha; ka ki hoki o ratou whare i nga kararehe pouri; a ka nohoia a reira e nga otereti, ka waiho hoki hei tupekepeketanga mo nga mea ahua koati.
22 And Iim shall crie in their palaces, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and the time thereof is readie to come, and the daies thereof shall not be prolonged.
Ka tangi ano hoki nga wuruhi i roto i o ratou whare kingi, me nga kuri mahoao i roto i o ratou whare ataahua; kua tata mai hoki tona wa, e kore ano ona ra e roa.
