Isaiah 43

But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

Na inaianei ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a tou kaihanga, e Hakopa, a tou kaiwhakaahua, e Iharaira, Kaua e wehi: kua oti nei hoki koe te hoko e ahau, kua karangatia e ahau tou ingoa; naku koe.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Ka haere koe i roto i te wai, ko ahau hei hoa mou; i nga awa ano, e kore e huri mai ki runga i a koe; ki te haere koe i roto i te ahi, e kore koe e wera, e kore ano te mura e ka ki a koe.

For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

Ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko tou Atua, ko te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, ko tou kaiwhakaora: i hoatu e ahau a Ihipa hei utu mou, a Etiopia raua ko Tepa hei wahi mou.

Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

I te mea he taonga nui koe ki taku titiro, he mea e whakahonoretia ana, a i arohaina koe e ahau; mo reira ka hoatu e ahau he tangata mo tou turanga, he iwi hoki hei utu mou kia ora.

Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

Kaua e wehi: kei a koe nei hoki ahau: ka kawea mai e ahau ou uri i te rawhiti, ka kohikohia mai koe i te uru.

I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

Ka mea ahau ki te raki, Homai; ki te tonga, Kaua e kaiponuhia: kawea mai aku tama i tawhiti, aku tamahine i te pito o te whenua;

Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

Te hunga katoa i huaina nei toku ingoa mo ratou: naku hoki ratou i hanga hei whakakororia moku: naku ia i whakaahua, naku hoki ia i mahi.

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

Whakaputaina mai nga matapo he kanohi nei o ratou, nga turi he taringa nei o ratou.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

Kia huihui nga iwi katoa, kia rupeke tahi nga tauiwi: ko wai i roto i a ratou hei whakaatu i tenei, hei korero i nga mea o mua ki a tatou? kia homai e ratou o ratou kaiwhakaatu, kia whakatikaia atu ai ta ratou: ma ratou ranei e whakarongo, e mea mai, He pono.

Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Ko koutou hei whakaatu mo taku, e ai ta Ihowa, me taku pononga i whiriwhiria e ahau, kia mohio ai koutou, kia whakapono ai ki taku, kia matau ai ko ahau ia, kahore he Atua i whakaahuatia i mua i ahau, kahore hoki tetahi i muri i ahau.

I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

Ko ahau, ko ahau nei ano, a Ihowa; kahore atu hoki he kaiwhakaora, ko ahau anake.

I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

Naku i whakaatu, naku hoki i whakaora, naku ano i korero, i te mea kahore he atua ke i roto i a koutou: na ko koutou hei kaiwhakaatu moku, e ai ta Ihowa, a ko te Atua ahau.

Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

Ae ra, i te mea kahore ano he ra ko ahau tenei; e kore hoki tetahi e whakaora ake i roto i toku ringa: maku e mahi, ko wai hoki hei whakakahore?

Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a to koutou kaihoko, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, He whakaaro ki a koutou i unga tangata ai ahau ki Papurona, a ka mauria mai e ahau ratou katoa, he mawhiti mai, ara nga Karari i runga i nga kaipuke i harakoa ai ratou.

I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Mea Tapu, ko te kaihanga o Iharaira, ko to koutou Kingi.

Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa nana nei i homai te ara i te moana, te huarahi i roto i nga wai kaha;

Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

Nana nei i whakaputa mai te hariata, te hoiho, te ope, me te kaha; takoto tahi ana ratou, te ara ki runga: kua keto ratou, kua tineia, ano he muka.

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

Kaua e mahara ki nga mea o mua; ko nga mea onamata kaua e whakaaroa.

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Tenei ahau te mahi nei i te mea hou; akuanei te tupu ai: e kore ranei e mohiotia e koutou? ka oti i ahau he ara i te koraha, he awa i te titohea.

The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

Ka whakakororiatia ahau e nga kararehe o te parae, e nga kirehe mohoao, e nga otereti; no te mea ka hoatu e ahau he wai i te koraha, he awa i te titohea, hei inu ma taku iwi, ma taku i whiriwhiri ai;

This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

Ma te iwi i whakaahuatia e ahau maku, ma ratou e kauwhau te whakamoemiti moku.

But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

Na kihai nei koe i karanga ki ahau, e Hakopa; kua hoha koe ki ahau e Iharaira.

Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.

Kihai i kawea mai e koe ki ahau au hipi hei tahunga tinana; kihai ano ahau i whakakororiatia ki au patunga tapu. Kahore aku whakamahi i a koe ki te whakahere, kihai ano koe i ngenge, i te meatanga i te whakakakara.

Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

Kihai i hokona e koe he kakaho reka maku ki te moni, kihai hoki ahau i makona i te ngako o au patunga tapu; engari i whakamahia ahau e koe ki ou hara, mauiui ana ahau i au mahi he.

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

Ko ahau, ko ahau nei ano, te kaimuru atu i ou he, he whakaaro ano ki ahau: e kore ano ou hara e maharatia e ahau.

Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

Whakamaharatia ahau; tatou ka whakawa ki a tatou ano; korerotia e koe tau, kia whakatikaia ai koe.

Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.

Ko tou papa tuatahi, i hara; ko ou kaiwhakaako, whakakeke ana ki ahau.

Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

Na reira whakapokea iho e ahau nga rangatira o te wahi tapu, a hoatu ana e ahau a Hakopa ki te kanga, a Iharaira ki te tawai.
