Isaiah 48

1 Hear yee this, O house of Iaakob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come out of the waters of Iudah: which sweare by the Name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousnesse.

Whakarongo ki tenei, e te whare o Hakopa, e te hunga kua huaina nei ko Iharaira hei ingoa mo koutou, kua puta ake nei i roto i nga wai o Hura; e whakaoati ana i te ingo o Ihowa, e whakahua ana i te Atua o Iharaira, ehara ia i te mea i runga i te pono, i te tika.

2 For they are called of the holy citie, and staie themselues vpon the God of Israel, whose Name is the Lord of hostes.

Ki ta ratou karanga hoki, no te pa tapu ratou, e okioki ana hoki ki te Atua o Iharaira; ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa.

3 I haue declared ye former things of old, and they went out of my mouth, and I shewed them: I did them suddenly, and they came to passe.

He mea whakaatu naku nonamata nga mea o mua; ae ra, i puta ano hoki aua mea i toku mangai, he mea korero naku; kitea rawatia ake kua mahia e ahau, kua puta.

4 Because I knewe, that thou art obstinate, and thy necke is an yron sinew, and thy brow brasse,

I mohio hoki ahau he pakeke koe, he uaua rino hoki tou kaki, he parahi tou rae;

5 Therefore I haue declared it to thee of old: before it came to passe, I shewed it thee, lest thou shouldest say, Mine idole hath done them, and my carued image, and my molten image hath commanded them.

Na reira naku i whakaatu ki a koe inamata; kiano i puta kua korerotia e ahau ki a koe: kei ki koe, Na taku whakapakoko ena mahi, he mea whakahau enei na te mea i whaowhaoa e ahau, na te mea i whakarewaina e ahau.

6 Thou hast heard, behold all this, and wil not yee declare it? I haue shewed thee newe things, euen now, and hid things, which thou knewest not.

Kua rongo koe; tirohia tenei katoa: a e kore ianei e whakaaturia e koutou? Kua korerotia nei e ahau ki a koe he mea hou, he mea i muri i tenei wa, he mea huna, kihai i mohiotia e koe;

7 They are created now, and not of olde, and euen before this thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldest say, Beholde, I knewe them.

He mea hanga nonaianei, kahore hoki inamata: i mua i tenei ra kihai i rangona e koutou; kei ki koe, Nana, i mohiotia e ahau.

8 Yet thou heardest them not, neither diddest know them, neither yet was thine eare opened of olde: for I knewe that thou wouldest grieuously transgresse: therefore haue I called thee a transgressour from the wombe.

Ae ra, kihai koe i rongo, kihai i mohio; ae ra, mai o mua kihai tou taringa i whakapuaretia: i mohio hoki ahau i mahi tinihanga koe, a no te kopu ano koe i huaina ai he poka ke.

9 For my Names sake will I defer my wrath, and for my praise will I refraine it from thee, that I cut thee not off.

Ka whakaaro ahau ki toku ingoa, a ka puhoi toku riri; ka whakaaro ki te whakamoemiti ki ahau, a ka pehi i taku ki a koe, kei hatepea atu koe.

10 Behold, I haue fined thee, but not as siluer: I haue chosen thee in the fornace of affliction.

Kua oti ou para te tahi e ahau, ehara ia i te mea hei hiriwa; he mea whiriwhiri koe naku i roto i te oumu, i te tangi.

11 For mine owne sake, for mine owne sake wil I doe it: for how should my Name be polluted? surely I wil not giue my glory vnto another.

He whakaaro ki ahau, he whakaaro ki ahau, i meatia ai tenei e ahau: kia whakapokea koia toku ingoa? e kore ano toku kororia e hoatu e ahau ki tetahi atu.

12 Heare me, O Iaakob and Israel, my called, I am, I am the first, and I am the last.

Whakarongo ki ahau, e Hakopa, e Iharaira, e taku i karanga ai; ko ahau ia, ko ahau te tuatahi, ko ahau ano te mutunga.

13 Surely mine hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heaues: when I cal them, they stand vp together.

Ae ra, na toku ringa i whakatakoto nga turanga o te whenua, na toku matau i hora nga rangi; ki te karangatia ratou e ahau, ka tu ngatahi ratou.

14 All you, assemble your selues, and heare: which among them hath declared these thinges? The Lord hath loued him: he wil doe his will in Babel, and his arme shalbe against the Chaldeans.

Huihui mai, e koutou katoa, whakarongo hoki; na wai o ratou enei mea i whakaatu? He mea aroha ia na Ihowa; ka oti i a ia tana i pai ai ki Papurona, ka pa ano tona ringa ki nga Karari.

15 I, euen I haue spoken it, and I haue called him: I haue brought him, and his way shall prosper.

Naku, naku te kupu, ae ra, he mea karanga ia naku, naku ia i kawe mai, ka tika ano i a ia tona ara.

16 Come neere vnto me: heare ye this: I haue not spoken it in secret from the beginning: from the time that the thing was, I was there, and now the Lord God and his Spirit hath sent me.

Whakatata mai ki ahau, whakarongo ki tenei; ko taku, no te timatanga ra ano ehara i te korero puku: i nga wa o aua mea, i reira ahau; na, inaianei na te Ariki, na Ihowa ahau i unga mai, na tona wairua ano.

17 Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy one of Israel, I am the Lord thy God, which teach thee to profite, and lead thee by the way, that thou shouldest goe.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a tou kaihoko, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, Ko Ihowa ahau, ko tou Atua e whakaako nei i a koe ki te pai mou, e arahi nei i a koe i te ara e haere ai koe.

18 Oh that thou haddest hearkened to my commandements! then had thy prosperitie bene as the floude, and thy righteousnesse as the waues of the sea.

Aue, me i rongo koe ki aku whakahau, ina, kua rite ki te awa te mau o te rongo ki a koe; ko tou tika, koia ano kei nga ngaru o te moana.

19 Thy seede also had beene as the sande, and the fruite of thy body like the grauell thereof: his name should not haue bene cut off nor destroied before me.

Kua rite ano ou uri ki te onepu, nga whanau o ou whekau ki te kirikiri o reira; ko tona ingoa kihai i hatepea atu, kihai i whakangaromia i toku aroaro.

20 Goe yee out of Babel: flee yee from the Chaldeans, with a voice of ioy: tel and declare this: shewe it foorth to the ende of the earth: say yee, The Lord hath redeemed his seruant Iaakob.

Haere atu i Papurona, e rere i roto i nga Karari; kia waiata te reo i a koutou e whakaatu ana; korerotia tenei, whakapuakina ki te pito o te whenua; ki atu, Kua oti i a Ihowa tana pononga, a Hakopa te hoko.

21 And they were not thirstie: hee led them through the wildernesse: hee caused the waters to flowe out of the rocke for them: for he claue the rocke, and the water gushed out.

Kihai ano ratou i matewai i a ia e arahi ana i a ratou i nga koraha; i meinga e ia te wai mo ratou kia rere i roto i te kamaka: i wahia e ia te kamaka, a pupu mai ana te wai.

22 There is no peace, sayeth the Lord, vnto the wicked.

Kahore he maunga rongo ki te hunga kino, e ai ta Ihowa.
