< Ihaia 60 >

1 E ara, kia marama; kua tae mai hoki tou marama, kua whiti te kororia o Ihowa ki a koe.
Stand up and shine, for your light has come; the glory of the Lord has risen on you.
2 Tera hoki e hipokina te whenua e te pouri, nga iwi e te pouri kerekere; ka whiti ia a Ihowa ki a koe, ka kitea hoki ki a koe tona kororia.
Even though darkness covers the earth, and deep darkness covers the people, the Lord has risen to shine on you, and his glory appears over you.
3 A ka haere mai nga tauiwi ki tou marama, nga kingi ki ou hihi, ina whiti mai.
Nations will come to your light, and kings will come to the brightness of your shining dawn.
4 Kia ara ou kanohi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, titiro atu hoki; kei te huihui ratou katoa, e haere mai ana ki a koe; ka haere mai au tama i tawhiti, ka hikitia hoki au tamahine ki nga ringa.
Look all around you, and see everyone gathering and coming to you—your sons returning from far away, your young daughters being carried on the hip.
5 Ka kite koe i reira, ka whakamaramatia, ka wehi ano tou ngakau, ka nui; no te mea ka tahuri ki a koe nga mea maha o te moana, ka tae ano ki a koe nga taonga o nga tauiwi.
Then you will see and shine brilliantly, your heart will beat wildly for joy, for the riches that cross the sea, the wealth of the nations, will be brought to you.
6 Ka kapi koe i te kamera, he tini, i nga kamera tere o Miriana, o Epa; ka haere mai era katoa i Hepa: me te mau mai ano i te koura, i te whakakakara; ka kauwhautia ano e ratou nga whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa.
Long caravans of camels will cover the land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. All the people of Sheba will come to you carrying gold and frankincense, shouting praises to the Lord.
7 Ka huihuia nga hipi katoa o Kerara ki a koe, hei kaimahi mau nga hipi toa o Nepaiota; ka manakohia ratou ina eke ki runga ki taku aata, a ka whakakororiatia e ahau te whare o toku kororia.
All the flocks of Kedar will be brought to you, the rams of Nebaioth will be placed at your disposal. I will accept them as they are sacrificed on my altar, and I will glorify the Temple where I'm honored.
8 Ko wai enei e rere nei ano he kapua, me he kukupa nei, ki o ratou matapihi?
What are these flying like a cloud, flying like pigeons returning to their roost?
9 He pono ka tatari nga motu ki ahau, me nga kaipuke o Tarahihi i te tuatahi, ki te kawe mai i au tama i tawhiti: i a ratou, i ta ratou hiriwa, i ta ratou koura hoki, hei mea ki te ingoa o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, no te mea ka oti koe te whakakororia e ia.
Coming from the islands that trust in me, these are ships led by those of Tarshish, bringing your children home from far away, carrying with them silver and gold. They come to honor of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has made you glorious.
10 Ka hanga ano ou taiepa e nga tangata ke, ko o ratou kingi ano hei kaimahi mau: he riri hoki noku i patu ai ahau i a koe, he manako ia naku i atawhai ai ahau i a koe.
Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will work for you. Even though I did hit you when I was angry with you, now I will be kind and merciful to you.
11 Ka tuwhera tonu ano ou kuwaha: e kore e tutakina i te ao, i te po, kia kawea mai ai nga taonga o nga tauiwi ki a koe, kia arahina mai ai hoki o ratou kingi me ratou.
Your gates will always be kept open. They won't ever be shut, day or night, so the wealth of the nations can be brought to you, with their kings being led along in a procession.
12 Ko te iwi hoki, me te kingitanga, e kore e mahi ki a koe, ka ngaro; ina, ka moti rawa aua iwi.
Any nation or kingdom that does not serve you will be completely destroyed.
13 Ka tae mai te kororia o Repanona ki a koe, te kauri, te rimu, me te ake ngatahi hei whakapaipai, mo te wahi i toku kainga tapu, a ka whakakororiatia e ahau te wahi o oku waewae.
The glory of Lebanon will come to you: cedars, acacias, and myrtle trees, to make my Temple beautiful and to honor the place I choose to live.
14 Ka haere mai ano, ka piko ki a koe nga tama a ou kaitukino, a ko te hunga katoa i whakahawea ki a koe, ka piko ki nga kapu o ou waewae; a ka kiia koe, Ko te pa o Ihowa, Ko te Hiona o te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
The children of those who persecuted you will come and bow before you; everyone who looked down on you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 He mea whakarere nei koe i mua, he mea i kinongia, kahore hoki tetahi kia haere i waenganui i a koe, na ka meinga koe e ahau hei mea nui e mau tonu ana, he kaonga ngakau ki nga whakatupuranga maha.
Once you were abandoned and despised, somewhere people didn't go, but now I will make you a place to be proud of forever, a joy to every generation.
16 Ka ngotea ano e koe te waiu o nga tauiwi, ka ngotea te u o nga kingi: a ka mohio koe ko ahau, ko Ihowa, tou kaiwhakaora, tou kaihoko, te Mea Nui o Hakaopa.
Nations will provide you with what you need, kings will take care of you as if you were their own children. You will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Ko te parahi ka whakaputaia ketia e ahau hei koura, ko te rino ka whakaputaia ketia hei hiriwa, ka puta ke te rakau hei parahi, ka puta ke nga kohatu hei rino; ko ou kaitohutohu ka meinga he rongo e mau ana, ko ou kaiakiaki he tika.
I will bring you gold instead of bronze, silver instead of iron, bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stone. I will appoint Peace as your watchman, and Goodness as your leader.
18 E kore e rangona i muri te mahi nanakia ki tou whenua; te whakamoti te wawahi, ki ou rohe; engari ka kiia, ou taiepa, ko te Whakaoranga, ou kuwaha ko te Whakamoemiti.
There won't be any more violence in your land, no more devastation and destruction within your borders. You will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 E kore te ra e waiho i muri hei whakamarama mou i te awatea; na, ko te marama e tiaho nei, e kore tera e whakamarama i a koe; ko Ihowa hoki hei whakamarama mou ake ake, ko tou Atua hoki hei whakakororia i a koe.
You won't need the light of the sun during the day, or the light of the moon at night, for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
20 Heoi ano hekenga o tou ra, e kore ano tou marama e pewa; no te mea ko Ihowa hei whakamarama pumau mou, a ka mutu nga ra o tou tangihanga.
Your sun will never set, and your moon will never wane, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your time of mourning will end.
21 Ko tou iwi hoki, tika katoa, ka pumau tonu ki a ratou te whenua; he peka whakato naku, he mahi na oku ringa, kia whai kororia ai ahau.
All your people will be good, and they will own the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted with my hands, and they will reveal my glory.
22 To te mea nohinohi putanga ake, he mano, to te mea iti, he iwi kaha: maku, ma Ihowa, e whakahohoro i tona wa e rite ai.
The smallest of your families will increase to a thousand, and the most insignificant will become a great nation. I am the Lord; at the right time I will do this quickly.
