Ihaia 5
1 Na, me waiata e ahau he waiata na taku i aroha nei mo taku i kaingakau ai, he mea mo tana mara waina. He mara waina ta taku kaingakau i tetahi pukepuke momona:
Let me sing, I pray you, for my beloved, A song of my beloved as to his vineyard: My beloved hath a vineyard in a fruitful hill,
2 Na taiepatia ana e ia, kohikohia ana e ia nga kohatu o reira, whakatokia ana e ia ki te waina pai rawa, hanga ana e ia he pourewa ki waenganui, keria ana ano e ia he poka waina ki reira: a ka tatari ia kia whai karepe, na ka hua mai he karepe mao ri.
And he fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth it [with] a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
3 Na, e te hunga e noho nei i Hiruharama, me nga tangata o Hura, whakaritea ta maua whakawa ko taku mara waina.
And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, and man of Judah, Judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4 Ko te aha ake ano ra i ahei kia mahia ki taku mara, kihai i mahia e ahau ki reira? he aha ra, i ahau i tatari ai kia hua mai he karepe, i puta ke mai ai he karepe maori?
What — to do still to my vineyard, That I have not done in it! Wherefore, I waited to the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
5 Na inaianei maku e whakaatu ki a koutou taku e mea ai ki taku mara waina: Ka tangohia atu e ahau tona pa whakaruru hau, a ka pau ia te kai; ka tukitukia hoki e ahau tona taiepa, a ka takatakahia:
And now, pray, let me cause you to know, That which I am doing to my vineyard, To turn aside its hedge, And it hath been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it hath been for a treading-place.
6 A ka meinga e ahau kia ururua; e kore e tapatapahia, e kore e ngakia; engari ka huaranga ake te tataramoa me te tumatakuru: ka ako atu hoki ahau ki nga kapua kia kaua te ua e uaina ki reira.
And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain.
7 Ko te mara waina hoki a Ihowa o nga mano, ko te whare o Iharaira, a ko nga tangata o Hura tana mea ahuareka i whakato ai: ka tatari ia ki te whakawa, na ko te tukino; ki te tika, na he aue.
Because the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, a cry.
8 Aue te mate mo te hunga e hono ana i te whare ki te whare, e whakapiri nei i te mara ki te mara, a kore noa iho he wahi, a ka meinga koutou kia noho, ko koutou anake, i waenganui i te whenua.
Woe [to] those joining house to house, Field to field they bring near, till there is no place, And ye have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
9 Ko ta Ihowa o nga mano tenei i hamumu ai ki oku taringa, He pono, he tini nga whare ka mokemoke, tona nunui, tona ataahua, ka noho tahanga kau.
By the weapons of Jehovah of Hosts Do not many houses a desolation become? Great and good without inhabitant!
10 No te mea kotahi tekau nga eka o te mara waina, ka maea ake kotahi tonu te pati: i ki te homa i te purapura, ka maea ake kotahi te epa.
For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer of seed yieldeth an ephah.
11 Aue te mate mo te hunga e maranga wawe ana i te ata ki te whai i te wai kaha; e kawe ana i te roa o te po, nawai a ka tahuna e te waina!
Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, Strong drink they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, wine inflameth them!
12 Ko te hapa me te hatere, ko te timipera me te putorino, ko te waina, kei a ratou hakari ena: heoi kahore a ratou mahara ki te mahi a Ihowa, kahore hoki he whakaaro ki te mahi a ona ringa.
And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.
13 Koia i riro ai toku iwi i te parau, he kore matauranga; ko o ratou tangata ingoa nui hoki kua hemo i te kai, a ko to ratou mano tini kua pakapaka rawa i te matewai.
Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honourable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst.
14 Na reira te reinga i whakanui ai i tona hiahia, i whewhera noa atu ai i tona mangai; a heke atu ana ki reira to ratou kororia, o ratou mano tini, to ratou whakahi, me te tangata e whakamanamana ana i roto i a ratou. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one — into her. (Sheol h7585)
15 Ka whakapikoa ano hoki te tangata ware, a ka whakaititia te tangata nui ka whakahokia iho hoki nga kanohi o te hunga whakakake:
And bowed down is the low, and humbled the high, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
16 Otiia ka whakanekehia ake a Ihowa o nga mano i runga i te whakawa, ka whakatapua ano te Atua, te Mea Tapu, i runga i te tika.
And Jehovah of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
17 Ko reira nga reme kai ai, ano kei to ratou wahi, a ka kainga e nga mea haere noa nga wahi kua ururuatia o te hunga tetere.
And fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume.
18 Aue te mate mo te hunga e kumea ana e ratou te he ki nga aho o te horihori, te hara hoki me te mea ki te taura o te kata:
Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart — sin.
19 E mea nei, Kia hihiko ia, kia hohoro tana mahi, kia kite ai matou: kia whakatata mai hoki, kia tae mai te whakaaro o te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, kia mohio ai matou.
Who are saying, 'Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.'
20 Aue te mate mo te hunga e mea nei ki te kino, he pai, ki te pai hoki, he kino; e mea nei i te pouri hei marama, i te marama hoki hei pouri; e mea nei i te kawa hei reka, i te reka hei kawa!
Woe [to] those saying to evil 'good,' And to good 'evil,' Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
21 Aue te mate mo te hunga he nui nei o ratou whakaaro ki ta ratou titiro, e mahara ana hoki he hunga mohio ratou!
Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And — before their own faces — intelligent!
22 Aue te mate mo te hunga kaha ki te inu waina, he hunga uaua ano ki te whakaranu i te wai kaha:
Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
23 E whakatika nei i ta te tangata he, he whakaaro ki te utu; e tango atu nei i te tika o te tangata tika.
Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
24 Mo reira ka rite ki te kainga a te arero o te ahi i te kakau witi, ki te hinganga o te otaota maroke ki roto ki te mura; ka pera to ratou pakiaka te pirau, ka rere to ratou puawai ki runga, ano he puehu: mo ratou i whakakahore ki te ture a Ihowa o nga mano, i whakahawea ano hoki ki te kupu a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised.
25 Na reira te riri o Ihowa i mura ai ki tana iwi, a kua torona e ia tona ringa ki te whawhai ki a ratou, a patua iho ratou e ia; i ngaueue nga maunga, a ko o ratou tinana mate me te mea he paru i waenganui o nga huarahi. Na ahakoa tenei katoa, kah ore tona riri i te tahuri atu, maro tonu tona ringa.
Therefore hath the anger of Jehovah burned among His people, And He stretcheth out His hand against it, And smiteth it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcase is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
26 Ka whakaarahia ano hoki e ia he kara ki nga iwi i tawhiti; ka whiowhio ano ki a ratou ki te pito o te whenua. Nana, ka hohoro, ka tere tonu ta ratou haere mai.
And He lifted up an ensign to nations afar off, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And lo, with haste, swift it cometh.
27 E kore tetahi o ratou e ngenge, e kore e tapepa te waewae; e kore tetahi e parangia, e kore e moe; e kore te whitiki o o ratou hope e mawheto, e kore ano te here o o ratou hu e motu.
There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It doth not slumber, nor sleep, Nor opened hath been the girdle of its loins, Nor drawn away the latchet of its sandals.
28 Ko a ratou pere, koi tonu, he piko katoa a ratou kopere; ko nga paua o o ratou hoiho ka kiia he mata, a ko o ratou wira he awhiowhio:
Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hoofs of its horses as flint have been reckoned, And its wheels as a hurricane!
29 Ko ta ratou hamama, koia ano kei ta te raiona, ka hamama ratou ano he kuao raiona: ae ra, ka ngaengere ratou, ka hopukina: ae ra, ka ngengere ratou, ka hopukina ta ratou tupapaku, kawhakina tonutia atu, kahore hoki he tangata hei whakaora.
Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roareth like young lions, And it howleth, and seizeth prey, And carrieth away safely, and there is none delivering.
30 Na ka hamama ratou ki a ratou i taua ra, me te mea ko te moana e haruru ana: a, ki te titiro tetahi ki te whenua, nana, he pouri me te tuatea, a kua pouri te marama i ona kapua.
And it howleth against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it hath looked attentively to the land, And lo, darkness — distress, And light hath been darkened by its abundance!
