Isaiah 66
1 Thus, saith Yahweh, The, heavens, are my throne, and The earth, is my footstool: Where then is the house which ye can build me? Or where is my place of rest?
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko te rangi toku torona, ko te whenua toku turanga waewae: kei hea te whare ka hanga nei e koutou moku? kei hea hoki te wahi hei okiokinga moku?
2 For, all these things, hath mine own hand made, And all these things came into being, —Declareth Yahweh. But for this one, will I look around, For him who is humbled and smitten in spirit, And so careth anxiously for my word.
Ko enei mea katoa hoki he mea hanga na toku ringa, a na kona enei mea katoa i oti ai, e ai ta Ihowa; ko tenei ia taku e titiro ai, ko te tangata e iti ana, kua maru te wairua, a e wiri ana ki taku kupu.
3 He that slaughtereth an ox, [is as one] who smiteth a man, He that sacrificeth a lamb, [is as one] who beheadeth a dog, he that causeth a meal-offering to ascend, offereth it with the blood of swine, He that maketh a memorial of frankincense, [is as one] who blesseth iniquity: They indeed, have chosen their own ways, And in their own abominations, their soul hath found delight;
Ko te tangata e patu ana i te kau, me te mea e tukituki ana i te tangata; te tangata he reme nei tana patunga tapu, me te mea he kaki kuri e poutoa ana e ia; te tangata e whakaeke ana i te whakahere, me te mea e whakaeke ana i te toto poaka; te t angata e tahu ana i te whakakakara, me te mea e manaaki ana i te whakapakoko. Ae ra, kua whiriwhiria e ratou o ratou ara, e ahuareka ana hoki to ratou wairua ki a ratou mea whakarihariha.
4 I, also, will choose the things that vex them. And the things they dread, will I bring upon them, Because—I called and there was none to answer, I spake, and they hearkened not, —But did that which was wicked in mine eyes, And of that wherein I delighted not, made choice.
Ka whiriwhiria ano e ahau o ratou whakaaro horihori, a ka kawea a ratou i wehi ai ki runga ki a ratou; no te mea i karanga ahau, a kihai tetahi i whakao mai, i korero ahau, a kihai ratou i rongo; heoi mahia ana e ratou te kino i taku tirohanga, a whiriwhiria ana e ratou te mea kihai i paingia e ahau.
5 Hear the word of Yahweh, ye who care anxiously for his word: Said your brethren Who hated you. Who thrust you out for my Name’s sake, Yahweh be glorified! Therefore shall he appear to your rejoicing, But, they, shall turn pale.
Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e te hunga e wiri ana ki tana kupu; Ko o koutou tuakana i kino ra ki a koutou, i pei ra i a koutou, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, i mea, Kia whakakororiatia a Ihowa, kia kite hoki matou i to koutou koa; na ka whakama r atou.
6 The sound of a tumult—out of the city, A sound, out of the temple, —The sound of Yahweh rendering recompense to his foes.
He reo, he ngangau, kei te pa, he reo kei te temepara, ko te reo o Ihowa e whakautu ana i ona hoariri.
7 Before she travaileth, she hath brought forth, —Before her pains come to her, she hath given birth to a man-child!
Kiano ia i whakamamae, kua whanau; kiano i pa ona mamae, kua whanau he tane.
8 Who hath heard the like of this? Who hath seen the like of these things? Can a land, be made to bring forth in one day? Or a nation, be born, at one time? As soon as she travaileth, Zion hath also given birth to her children.
Ko wai i rongo i te penei? ko wai i kite i nga mea penei? E whakamamae ranei te whenua i te ra kotahi? e whanau ranei te iwi i te meatanga kotahi? whakamamae kau hoki a Hiona, kua whanau ana tama.
9 Could, I, bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth? saith Yahweh. Or, I, be causing to bring forth and then prevent? Saith thy God.
Tera ranei e meinga e ahau kia taka te ara, a kia kaua e whanau? e ai ta Ihowa; ka meinga ranei e ahau kia whanau, a kopia iho te kopu? e ai ta tou Atua.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and exult over her All ye who love her, —Joy with her right joyfully, All ye who used to mourn over her:
Kia koa tahi me Hiruharama, whakamanamana ki a ia, e te hunga katoa e aroha ana ki a ia; kia hari tahi me ia, kia hari, e te hunga katoa e tangi ana ki a ia.
11 That ye may draw to satisfaction out of the fountain of her consolations, —That ye may drain out and get exquisite delight from the abundance of her glory.
He mea hoki ka ngote koutou, a ka makona i te u, ara i ana whakamarie, he mea hoki ka whakatete koutou, a ka ora te ngakau i te nui o tona kororia.
12 For, thus, saith Yahweh, —Behold me! extending unto her like a river, prosperity, And as a torrent o’erflowing, the glory of the nations. That ye may draw it forth—Upon the side, shall ye be carried, and Upon the knees, shall ye be caressed:
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ano he awa te rangimarie ka horahia atu e ahau ki a ia; ano he waipuke te kororia o nga tauiwi: ko reira koutou ngote ai; ka hikitia koutou ki ona kaokao, ka poipoia ki ona turi.
13 As one whom, his mother, consoleth, So, will, I, console you, And in Jerusalem, shall ye be consoled.
Ka rite hoki ki te tangata e whakamarietia ana e tona whaea, ka whakamarie ano ahau ki a koutou; ka whai whakamarietanga ano koutou i roto i Huriharama.
14 As soon as ye have seen it, your heart, shall be joyful, And your bones, like green herbage, shall thrive, —So shall be known The hand of Yahweh with his servants, But indignation with his foes!
Ka kite koutou i tenei, ka koa o koutou ngakau; ko o koutou whenua, koia ano kei te otaota te tupu; a ka mohiotia te ringa o Ihowa ki ana pononga, tona riri ki ona hoariri.
15 For lo! Yahweh, with fire, doth come, And like a storm-wind, [are] his chariots, —To render with fury, his anger, And his rebuke with flames of fire.
Nana, ka haere mai a Ihowa me te ahi, ko ona hariata koia ano kei te tukauati; ki te tuku i tona riri i runga i te weriweri, i tana whakatupehupehu i roto i nga mura ahi.
16 For, by fire, will Yahweh enter into judgment, And by his sword, with all flesh, —And many shall be the slain of Yahweh.
No te mea he ahi ta Ihowa, me tana hoari ano, ina totohe ia ki nga kikokiko katoa, ka tokomaha ano nga tupapaku a Ihowa.
17 They who hallow themselves and purify themselves for the gardens, Behind a certain thing in the midst, Who eat the flesh of swine and the abomination, and the mouse, Together, shall be cut off—Declareth Yahweh.
Ko te hunga e whakatapu ana i a ratou, e pure ana i a ratou i nga kari, e whai ana i tetahi i waenganui, ko te hunga e kai ana i te kikokiko poaka, i te mea whakarihariha, i te kiore, ka pau ngatahi ratou, e ai ta Ihowa.
18 Because, I, …for their works and their devices, doth it come! …Am about to gather together all nations and tongues, —So shall they come and see my glory.
E mohio ana hoki ahau ki a ratou mahi, ki o ratou whakaaro. Tenei ake ka huihuia e ahau nga iwi katoa, nga reo, a ka haere mai ratou, ka kite i toku kororia.
19 Then will I set among them, a sign, And will send, of them such as have escaped unto the nations—Tarshish Pul and Lud that draw the bow, Tubal and Javan, —The Coastlands that are afar off, Who have not heard my fame Nor seen my glory, And they shall tell my glory throughout the nations.
Ka meinga ano e ahau he tohu ki roto i a ratou, ka unga ano e ahau o ratou morehu ki nga iwi, ki Tarahihi, ki Puru, ki Ruru, ki te hunga kukume kopere, ki Tupara, ki Iawana, ki nga motu i tawhiti kihai nei i rongo ki toku rongo, kihai ano i kite i toku kororia; a ka whakaaturia e ratou toku kororia i roto i nga tauiwi.
20 Then shall they bring in all your brethren out of all the nations, As a present unto Yahweh, Upon horses and in chariots and in palanquins and on mules and on dromedaries Unto my holy mountain—Jerusalem, saith Yahweh, —Just as the sons of Israel, bring in their present in a pure vessel, into the house, of Yahweh.
Ka kawea mai ano e ratou o koutou teina katoa i roto i nga iwi katoa hei whakahere ki a Ihowa, i runga i te hoiho, i te hariata, i te amo, i te muera, i te kamera tere, ki toku maunga tapu ki Hiruharama, e ai ta Ihowa; ka rite ki ta nga tama a I haraira e kawe nei i te whakahere i roto i te oko ma ki te whare o Ihowa.
21 And of them also, will I take for priests—for Levites, saith Yahweh,
Ka tango hoki ahau i etahi o ratou hei tohunga, hei Riwaiti, e ai ta Ihowa.
22 For, as the new heavens and the new earth, which I am about to make, are to remain before me, Declareth Yahweh, So, shall remain your seed and your name.
Ka rite hoki ki te rangi hou, ki te whenua hou, ka hanga nei e ahau, a ka pumau tonu ki toku aroaro, e ai ta Ihowa, ka pera te pumau o to koutou uri, o to koutou ingoa.
23 And it shall come to pass, that From one new moon to another, and From one sabbath to another, Shall all flesh, come in, to bow down before me, Saith Yahweh.
A tenei ake ka haere mai nga kikokiko katoa i tenei marama, i tenei marama, i tenei hapati, i tenei hapati, ki te koropiko ki toku aroaro, e ai ta Ihowa.
24 Then shall they go forth and look upon the dead bodies of the men who had been trespassing against me—For, their worm, shall not die, And, their fire, shall not be quenched; So shall they become an abhorrence to all flesh.
A ka haere atu ratou, ka matakitaki ki nga tinana o nga tangata i he nei ki ahau: e kore hoki to ratou kutukutu e mate, e kore ano to ratou ahi e tineia, a hei mea whakarihariha ratou ki nga kikokiko katoa.
