Hakaraia 9

1 Ko te poropititanga o te kupu a Ihowa i te whenua o Hararaka. Na, ko tona taunga atu kei Ramahiku; e whai kanohi ana hoki te tangata me nga hapu katoa o Iharaira ki a Ihowa.

The burden of the word of the Lord, in the land of Sedrach, and his sacrifice [shall be] in Damascus; for the Lord looks upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel.

2 Kei Hamata ano e tata ra ki reira; kei Taira, kei Hairona no te mea he pa whakaaro nui rawa ia.

And in Emath, [even] in her coasts, [are] Tyre and Sidon, because they were very wise.

3 I hanga ano e Taira he pa kaha mona, i opehia e ia te hiriwa, ano he puehu, te koura parakore, ano ko te paru o nga waharoa.

And Tyrus built strongholds for herself, and heaped up silver as dust, and gathered gold as the mire of the ways.

4 Nana, ma te Ariki ia e pei, ka patua hoki e ia tona kaha i te moana; ka pau ia i te ahi.

And therefore the Lord will take them for a possession, and will strike her power in the sea; and she shall be consumed with fire.

5 Ka kite a Ahakerono, a ka wehi, a Kaha, nui atu te mamae, me Ekerono ano; no te mea he whakama to tana i tumanako ai; ka kore hoki to Kaha kingi; e kore ano a Ahakerono e nohoia.

Ascalon shall see, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be greatly pained, and Accaron; for she is ashamed at her trespass; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ascalon shall not be inhabited.

6 A ka nohoia a Aharoro e te poriro, ka hatepea atu ano e ahau te whakapehapeha o nga Pirihitini.

And aliens shall dwell in Azotus, and I will bring down the pride of the Philistines.

7 Ka kore ano i ahau ona toto i roto i tona mangai, me ana mea whakarihariha i waenganui i ona niho; na, hei morehu ia mo to tatou Atua, ka rite ano ki te kawana i roto i a Hura, ka rite ano a Ekerono ki te Iepuhi.

And I will take their blood out of their mouth, and their abominations from between their teeth; and these also shall be left to our God, and they shall be as a captain of a thousand in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite.

8 Ka nohoia ano e ahau nga taha o toku whare, hei arai mo te taua, mo te tangata ano e tika ana na reira, mo te tangata e hoki ana; e kore ano te kaitukino e tika na waenga i a ratou a muri ake nei: kua kite nei hoki oku kanohi inaianei.

And I will set up a defence for my house, that they may not pass through, nor turn back, neither shall there any more come upon them one to drive them away: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

9 Kia nui te whakamanamana, e te tamahine a Hiona, hamama, e te tamahine a Hiruharama, nana, ko tou Kingi e haere na ki a koe: he tika ia, he whakaora, he ngakau mahaki, e noho ana i runga i te kaihe, i te kuao ano, i te tama a te kaihe.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion; proclaim [it] aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, the King is coming to you, just, and a Saviour; he is meek and riding on an ass, and a young foal.

10 A ka hatepea atu e ahau te hariata o Eparaima, me te hoiho o Hiruharama; ka hatepea atu ano te kopere o te whawhai: mo te rongo mau hoki ana kupu ki nga tauiwi; ka kingi ano ia i tetahi moana a tae noa ki tetahi moana, i te awa a tae noa ki nga pito o te whenua.

And he shall destroy the chariots out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow of war shall be utterly destroyed; and [there shall be] abundance and peace out of the nations; and he shall rule over the waters as far as the sea, and the rivers [to] the ends of the earth.

11 Me koe ano, na te toto o tau kawenata i unga atu ai e ahau ou herehere i roto i te poka kahore nei ona wai.

And you by the blood of your covenant has sent forth your prisoners out of the pit that has no water.

12 Tahuri ki te pa kaha, e nga herehere, e te hunga e tumanako ana: i tenei ra nei me whakaatu e ahau e rua aku whakautu ki a koe:

You shall dwell in strongholds, you prisoners of the congregation: and for one day of your captivity I will recompense you double.

13 Kua piko hoki i ahau a Hura maku, kua whakakiia te kopere ki a Eparaima; a ka oho i ahau au tama, e Hiona, ki te whawhai ki au tama, e Kariki, ka meinga hoki koe e ahau kia rite ki te hoari a te marohirohi.

For I have bent you, O Juda, for myself [as] a bow, I have filled Ephraim; and I will raise up your children, O Sion, against the children of the Greeks, and I will handle you as the sword of a warrior.

14 A ka kitea a Ihowa i runga i a ratou, ka puta atu ano tana pere ano he uira: ka tangi hoki te tetere a te Ariki, a Ihowa, a ka haere ia i runga i nga tukauati o te tonga.

And the Lord shall be over them, and [his] arrow shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord Almighty shall blow with the trumpet; and shall proceed with the tumult of his threatening.

15 Ma Ihowa o nga mano ratou e tiaki; a ka kai ratou, a ka takahi i nga kohatu o te kotaha; ka inu ano ratou, ka hamama me te mea na te waina; ka ki ratou ano he peihana, ano ko nga koki o te aata.

The Lord Almighty shall protect them, and they shall destroy them, and overwhelm them with sling-stones; and they shall swallow them down as wine, and fill the bowls as the altar.

16 Na ka whakaora a Ihowa, to ratou Atua, i a ratou i taua ra, me he kahui no tana iwi: ka rite hoki ratou ki nga kohatu o te karauna, maiangi rawa i runga i tona whenua.

And the Lord their God shall save them in that day, [even] his people as a flock; for holy stones are rolled upon his land.

17 Na koia ano tona pai, koia ano tona ataahua! ka tupu nga tama i te witi, nga kotiro i te waina hou.

For if he has anything good, and if he has anything fair, the young [men shall have] corn, and [there shall be] fragrant wine to the virgins.
