Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou hast made an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
Aue te mate mou e pahua nei, a kihai koe i pahuatia; e tinihanga nei, a kihai ano koe i tinihangatia! kia mutu tau pahua, ka pahuatia ano koe: kia mutu tau tinihanga, ka tinihangatia koe.
2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
Kia atawhai, e Ihowa, ki a matou; kua tatari nei matou ki a koe: ko koe hei ringa mo ratou i tenei ata, i tenei ata, hei whakaora mo matou i nga wa o te raru.
3 At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.
I te rongonga i te ngangau, whati ana nga iwi: i tou aranga ki runga, marara ana nga iwi.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpiller gathereth: as locusts leap shall they leap upon it.
Ko te kohikohinga o o koutou taonga ano he moka e kohi ana; kei te tarapeke o te mawhitiwhiti te rite ina kokiritia e ratou.
5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
Ka whakanuia a Ihowa; kei runga hoki tona nohoanga; nana a Hiona i ki ai i te whakawa, i te tika.
6 And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
A ka u nga wa i a koe; hua tonu te whakaora, te whakaaro nui, te matauranga; ko te wehi ki a Ihowa hei taonga mona.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
Nana, he tangi o ratou maia i waho; ko nga karere hohou rongo, tiwerawera ana te tangi.
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man.
Kua ururuatia nga ara, kua kore e haerea e te tangata: kua paheke i a ia te kawenata, whakahawea ana ia ki nga pa: kahore te tangata e whakaaroa e ia.
9 The land mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and withereth away: Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves].
E tangi ana te whenua, ngohe noa iho; kua whakama a Repanona, kua memenga; a Harono, rite tonu ki te koraha; ko nga rau o Pahana, o Karamere, ruirui rawa.
10 How will I arise, saith the LORD; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted.
Katahi ahau ka whakatika, e ai ta Ihowa; katahi ahau ka whakarewa ake i ahau, katahi ahau ka neke ake.
11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
Ko to koutou hapu he papapa, whanau ake he kakau witi; ko to koutou manawa, ka rite ki te ahi, ka kai i a koutou.
12 And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.
Ka rite hoki nga iwi ki nga tahunga kotakota; ki te tataramoa kua tapahia, e tahuna ana ki te ahi.
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
Whakarongo, e koutou o tawhiti, ki taku i mea ai; e te hunga e tata ana, kia mohio mai ki toku kaha.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the godless ones. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Pawera noa iho nga tangata hara i Hiona, mau pu te hunga atuakore i te tuiri. Ko wai o tatou e noho ki te ahi e kai ana? ko wai o tatou e noho ki nga tahunga e kore nei e mutu?
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil;
Ko te tangata e haere ana i runga i te tika, he tika ano ana korero; ko te tangata e whakahawea ana ki nga taonga o te tukino, e rukerukea ana e tona ringa te utu whakapati; e punia ana ona taringa kei rangona he korero toto, e whakamoe ana i on a kanohi kei kite i te kino;
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall be sure.
Ko te nohoanga mo tera kei runga rawa; ko tona wahi arai riri ko nga kaha o nga kamaka: ka homai he taro mana, ka pumau te wai mona.
17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a far stretching land.
Ka kite ou kanohi i te kingi, i tona ataahua: ka matakitaki ano ki te whenua e hora mai ana i tawhiti.
18 Thine heart shall muse on the terror: where is he that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? where is he that counted the towers?
Ka whakaaroaroa te wehi e tou ngakau: kei hea te kaitatau, kei hea te kaipauna takoha? kei hea te kaitatau o nga pourewa?
19 Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive; of a strange tongue that thou canst not understand.
E kore koe e kite i te iwi nanakia, he hohonu nei to ratou reo, kahore e rangona e koe; he rereke te reo, e kore e matauria e koe.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
Titiro ki Hiona, ki te pa o a tatou hakari: ka kitea e ou kanohi a Hiruharama, he nohoanga humarie, he teneti, e kore e nekehia; e kore tetahi o ona titi e unuhia a ake ake, e kore ano tetahi o ona taura e motu.
21 But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
Engari ki reira a Ihowa ki a tatou me tona nui, hei wahi mo nga awa whanui mo nga wai nunui; kahore hoki he waka e hoehoea ki reira, kahore he kaipuke nui e tika na reira.
22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
No te mea ko Ihowa to tatou kaiwhakawa, ko Ihowa to tatou kaiwhakatakoto tikanga, ko Ihowa to tatou kingi; mana tatou e whakaora.
23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey.
Kua tangoro kau ou puwhenua, te taea te turanga o to ratou rewa te whakau, te taea te ra te whewhera: na nui atu te taonga parakete e wehewehea ana, pahuatia ana nga taonga parau e nga kopa.
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
Kahore hoki he kianga ake a te tangata whenua, He mate toku; ko te iwi e noho ana i reira, ka murua to ratou he.
