Ihaia 3
1 No te mea tenei te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, te tango atu nei i Hiruharama, i a Hura, i te titoko me te tokotoko, i te titoko taro katoa, i te titoko wai katoa;
Behold now, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judea the mighty man and mighty woman, the strength of bread, and the strength of water,
2 I te marohirohi, i te tangata whawhai; i te kaiwhakawa, i te poropiti, i te tohunga, i te tautahito;
the great and mighty man, the warrior and the judge, and the prophet, and the counsellor, and the elder,
3 I te rangatira rima tekau, i te tangata nui, i te kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, i te kaimahi mohio, i te mea matau ki te taki.
the captain of fifty also, and the honorable counsellor, and the wise artificer, and the intelligent hearer.
4 Ka hoatu ano e ahau he tamariki hei rangatira mo ratou, he kohungahunga hoki hei kingi mo ratou.
And I will make youths their princes, and mockers shall have dominion over them.
5 Ka tukinotia ano te iwi, tetahi e tetahi, te tangata e tona hoa tata; ka whakahihi hoki te tamariki ki te kaumatua, te mea e whakahaweatia ana ki te tangata e whakahonoretia ana.
And the people shall fall, man upon man, and [every] man upon his neighbor: the child shall insult the elder man, and the base the honorable.
6 E mau hoki te tangata ki tona tuakana, i te whare o tona papa, a ka mea, He kakahu tou, hei rangatira koe mo matou, a hei raro i tou ringa tenei whakatakanga:
For a man shall lay hold of his brother, as one of his father's household, saying, You have raiment, be you our ruler, and let my meat be under you.
7 A taua ra ka karanga nui ia, ka mea, E kore ahau e pai hei kaiwhakaora; kahore hoki he taro i toku whare, kahore he kakahu: kaua ahau e meinga e koutou hei rangatira mo te iwi.
And he shall answer in that day, and say, I will not be your ruler; for I have no bread in my house, nor raiment: I will not be the ruler of this people.
8 Kua taka hoki a Hiurharama, kua hinga a Hura; kua whawhai nei hoki to ratou arero, me a ratou mahi, ki a Ihowa, whakapataritari ai i nga kanohi o tona kororia.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judea has fallen, and their tongues [have spoken] with iniquity, disobedient [as they are] towards the Lord.
9 Ko te titiro hoki a o ratou kanohi hei kaiwhakaatu mo to ratou he; e pera ana me Horoma e whakapuaki ana i o ratou hara, kahore e huna. Aue te mate mo to ratou wairua! ko ta ratou utu hoki ki a ratou ano, ko te kino.
Therefore now their glory has been brought low, and the shame of their countenance has withstood them, and they have proclaimed their sin as Sodom, and made it manifest.
10 Mea atu ki te tangata tika, ko te pai mona: ka kainga hoki e ratou nga hua o a ratou mahi.
Woe to their soul, for they have devised an evil counsel against themselves, saying against themselves, Let us bind the just, for he is burdensome to us: therefore shall they eat the fruits of their works.
11 Aue te mate mo te tangata kino! ko te he mona: ka riro hoki i a ia te utu o ta ona ringa.
Woe to the transgressor! evils shall happen to him according to the works of his hands.
12 Tena ko taku iwi, he tamariki o ratou kaitukino, he wahine hoki e kingi ana mo ratou. E taku iwi, ko ou kaiarahi kei te whakapohehe i a koe, kei te whakakahore hoki i te tikanga o ou huarahi.
O my people, your exactors strip you, and extortioners rule over you: O my people, they that pronounce you blesses lead you astray, and pervert the path of your feet.
13 E whakatika ake ana a Ihowa ki te tohe, e tu ana ia ki te whakawa i nga iwi.
But now the Lord will stand up for judgment, and will enter into judgment with his people.
14 Ka timata ta Ihowa whakawa i nga kaumatua o tana iwi, i ona rangatira ano hoki: Ko koutou nana i pau ai te mara waina; ko nga taonga a nga rawakore i pahuatia kei roto i o koutou whare:
The Lord himself shall enter into judgment with the elders of the people, and with their rulers: but why have you set my vineyard on fire, and [why is] the spoil of the poor in your houses?
15 He aha ta koutou tikanga i kuru ai koutou i taku iwi, i orohina ai e koutou nga mata o nga rawakore? e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano.
Why do you wrong my people, and shame the face of the poor?
16 Na i mea ano a Ihowa, Na i te mea e whakapehapeha ana nga tamahine o Hiona, e haere ana me te uatoko o nga kaki, me te takataka o nga karu, ka whakameamea, me te tatangi ano nga waewae:
Thus says the Lord, Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with an outstretched neck, and with winking of the eyes, and motion of the feet, at the same time drawing their garments in trains, and at the same time sporting with their feet:
17 Mo reira ka whakangaua e te Ariki ki te patito te tumuaki o nga tamahine o Hiona, ka takoto kau ano hoki i a Ihowa o ratou wahi ngaro.
therefore the Lord will humble the chief daughters of Sion, and the Lord will expose their form in that day;
18 I taua ra ka kore i te Ariki te ataahua o nga mea tatangi o nga waewae, o nga whakapaipai ripekapeka, o nga heitiki;
and the Lord will take away the glory of their raiment, the curls and the fringes, and the crescents,
19 Nga mekameka, nga poroporo me nga arai kanohi,
and the chains, and the ornaments of their faces,
20 Nga potae, nga whakapaipai o nga waewae, nga pakawe, nga pouaka hongihongi me nga whakakai,
and the array of glorious ornaments, and the armlets, and the bracelets, and the wreathed work, and the finger-rings, and the ornaments for the right hand,
21 Nga mowhiti, nga whakapaipai o te ihu,
and the ear-rings, and the garments with scarlet borders, and the garments with purple grounds, and the shawls to be worn in the house, and the Spartan transparent dresses, and those made of fine linen, and the purple [ones], and the scarlet [ones], and the fine linen, interwoven with gold and purple, and the light coverings for couches.
22 Nga kakahu whakapaipai, nga koroka, nga hooro me nga pukoro,
And there shall be instead of a sweet smell, dust; and instead of a girdle, you shall gird yourself with a rope; and instead of a golden ornament for the head, you shall have baldness on account of your works; and instead of a tunic with a scarlet ground, you shall gird yourself with sackcloth.
23 Nga whakaata me te rinena pai, nga potae me nga arai whakapaipai.
And your most beautiful son whom you love shall fall by the sword; and your mighty men shall fall by the sword, and shall be brought low.
24 Na he kakara pai i mua, tera e puta ake he piro; he whitiki, tuku iho he tawhetawhe; he koukou huatau, tau iho he pakira kau; he tatua whakapaipai, kopakina iho ki te kakahu taratara: he ataahua, hunuhunua ake.
And the stores of your ornaments shall mourn, and you shall be left alone, and shall be levelled with the ground.
25 Ka hinga ou tangata i te hoari, ou marohirohi i te whawhaitanga.
26 Ka tangi, ka aue ona kuwaha; a ka mokemoke ia, ka tau ki te whenua.
