Ihaia 10
1 Aue te mate mo te hunga e whakatakoto ana i nga tikanga he, mo nga kaituhituhi ano hoki e tuhituhi nei i te mea nanakia;
Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;
2 Hei whakakotiti ke i te whakawa mo nga rawakore, hei tango noa iho i te mea e tika ana ma nga ware o toku iwi, kia waiho ai nga mea a te pouaru hei taonga ma ratou, kia pahuatia ai e ratou nga pani!
to deprive the needy from justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey.
3 Ka pehea ra koutou i te ra o te tirohanga mai, o te whakangaromanga ka pa mai i tawhiti? ka rere koutou ki a wai hei awhina? a ka waiho to koutou kororia ki hea?
What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth,
4 Ka piko noa iho ratou ki raro i nga herehere, ka hinga ki raro i te iwi i patua. Ahakoa ko tenei katoa, e kore tona riri e tahuri ke, engari maro tonu tona ringa.
so as not to kneel with the prisoners, or fall among the slain? For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 Aue, e te Ahiriana, te rakau o toku riri, te whiu kei tona ringa ko toku aritarita!
Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation.
6 Ka unga ia e ahau ki te iwi ngutukau; he he mo te iwi o toku riri taku e whakahau ai ki a ia, ki te taonga parakete mana, ki te pahua, ki te mea i a ratou hei takahanga, hei pera me te paru o nga ara.
I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people who anger me will I give him a command to take the spoil and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Kahore ia ona whakaaro penei, kihai hoki tona ngakau i mea ki te penei; engari he whakangaro ta tona ngakau, kia kaua ano hoki e torutoru nga iwi e hatepea e ia.
However he doesn't mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.
8 E ki ana hoki ia, He teka ianei he kingi katoa aku rangatira?
For he says, "Aren't all of my officials kings?
9 He teka ianei he rite a Karano ki Karakemihi, he rite a Hamata ki Arapara, he rite a Hamaria ki Ramahiku?
Isn't Calno like Carchemish? Isn't Hamath like Arpad? Isn't Samaria like Damascus?
10 Ka rite ki nga kingitanga o nga whakapakoko i tupono mai ki toku ringa; nui atu nei hoki o ratou whakapakoko i o Hiruharama, i o Hamaria;
As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11 E kore ianei taku e mea ai ki Hiruharama, ki ona whakapakoko, e rite ki taku i mea ai ki Hamaria, ki ona whakapakoko?
shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?"
12 Na, tenei ake, kia oti i te Ariki tana mahi katoa ki Maunga Hiona, ki Hiruharama, ka whiua e ahau nga hua o te ngakau nui o te kingi o Ahiria, me te kororia ano o ona kanohi whakakake.
Therefore it will happen that, when Jehovah has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his haughty looks.
13 Kua ki na hoki ia, Na te kaha o toku ringa i oti ai tenei i ahau, na toku whakaaro nui; he tangata whai mahara hoki ahau: kua whakanekehia hoki e ahau nga rohe o nga iwi, kua pahuatia ano e ahau o ratou taonga, a kua riro i ahau, i te marohirohi, ki raro te hunga noho o nga torona:
For he has said, "By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers.
14 Na kua kitea e toku ringa nga taonga o nga iwi, ano he kohanga: i rite hoki ki te kohikohinga a tetahi i nga hua manu i mahue, taku kohikohinga i te whenua katoa: a kihai i oraora te parirau o tetahi, kihai i hamama te mangai, kihai hoki i pipi.
My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, have I gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped."
15 E whakahihi ranei te titaha ki te tangata nana nei ia i whakamahi ki te hahau? e whakakake ranei te kani ki te tangata nana nei ia i kani ai? me te mea nei ko te patupatu hei whakakorikori i tona kaihapai, ko te tokotoko ranei hei hapai i te tan gata ehara nei i te rakau.
Should an axe brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood.
16 Mo reira ka unga mai e te Ariki, e te Ariki o nga mano, te hiroki ki ona mea momona; a ka ka ake a raro o tona kororia, he mea whakau, koia ano kei te ka o te ahi.
Therefore Jehovah of hosts will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.
17 A hei ahi te marama o Iharaira, a ko tana Mea Tapu ano hoki hei mura; a ka wera ona tumatakuru, ona tataramoa, pau ake i te ra kotahi.
The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
18 Ka pau ano hoki i a ia te kororia o tona ngahere, o tana mara momona, te wairua raua ko te tinana; a, hei te otinga, me te mea kua ngohe te ngakau o te kaihapai kara.
He will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.
19 Na, ko te toenga o nga rakau o tona ngahere, he torutoru, ma te tamaiti noa e tuhituhi.
The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their number.
20 I taua ra ka whakamutua e nga toenga o Iharaira ratou ko nga morehu o te whare o Hakopa, ta ratou okioki ki to ratou kaiwhiu; engari ka okioki pono ratou ki a Ihowa, ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 He toenga ano e hoki mai, ko te toenga o Hakopa, ki te Atua kaha rawa.
A remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
22 No te mea ahakoa i rite tou iwi, a Iharaira ki te onepu o te moana, he toenga kau o ratou e hoki mai: ko te whakaotinga i whakaritea, me te mea e puhake ana i te tika.
For though your people, Israel, are as the sand of the sea, a remnant will be kept safe. For he will fulfill the word and decisively, overflowing in righteousness;
23 Ka oti ra hoki, ka mahia ano hoki e te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano, te mea i whakaritea ki waenganui i te whenua katoa.
because the Lord will carry out the word decisively in the midst of the earth.
24 Na reira tenei kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, E taku iwi e noho nei i Hiona kaua e wehi i te Ahiriana: ahakoa patu ia i a koe ki te rakau, hapainga mai ranei e ia tona tokotoko ki a koe, pera me ta Ihipa.
Therefore Jehovah of hosts says: "My people who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, as Egypt did.
25 He wahi iti rawa nei, a ka whakatutukitia te weriweri, toku riri hoki, i a ratou ka huna.
For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction."
26 Ka oho ano i a Ihowa o nga mano he whiu mona, he pera me te patunga o Miriana ki te kamaka ki Orepe; a ka iri tona tokotoko i runga i te moana, a ka hapainga e ia, pera i tana i Ihipa.
Jehovah of hosts will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt.
27 Na i taua ra ka makere atu tana pikaunga i tou pokohiwi, me tana ioka i tou kaki, a ka kore noa iho ano hoki te ioka i te whakawahinga.
It will happen in that day, that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
28 Kua tae ki Aiata, kua pahemo ki Mikirono; ko ana mea rongoatia ake e ia ki Mikimaha:
He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he stores his baggage.
29 Kei tenei taha ratou o te whakawhitinga; kua noho a puni ratou ki Kepa: pawera noa iho a Rama; kua rere a Kipea o Haora.
He went through the pass. He has lodged at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 Kia nui tou reo, e te tamahine a Karimi! whakarongo, e Raihi! He mate tou, e Anatoto!
Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim. Listen, Laishah. You poor Anathoth.
31 He whati a Maramena; kei te huihui nga tangata o Kepimi, he tahuti.
Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
32 Hei tenei ra ano ka tu ia ki Nopo: kei te ruru tona ringa ki te maunga o te tamahine a Hiona, ki te pukepuke i Hiruharama.
This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Nana, ka tapahia e te Ariki, e Ihowa o nga mano, nga peka, nui atu hoki te wehi: a ka tuaina ki raro nga mea he tiketike nei te ahua, ka whakaititia ano hoki nga mea whakakake.
Look, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 Ka tuaina ano e ia nga rakau poruru o te ngahere ki te rino, ka hinga ano hoki a Repanona i te mea nui.
He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
