Isaiah 33

Aue te mate mou e pahua nei, a kihai koe i pahuatia; e tinihanga nei, a kihai ano koe i tinihangatia! kia mutu tau pahua, ka pahuatia ano koe: kia mutu tau tinihanga, ka tinihangatia koe.

Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

Kia atawhai, e Ihowa, ki a matou; kua tatari nei matou ki a koe: ko koe hei ringa mo ratou i tenei ata, i tenei ata, hei whakaora mo matou i nga wa o te raru.

O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

I te rongonga i te ngangau, whati ana nga iwi: i tou aranga ki runga, marara ana nga iwi.

At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

Ko te kohikohinga o o koutou taonga ano he moka e kohi ana; kei te tarapeke o te mawhitiwhiti te rite ina kokiritia e ratou.

And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

Ka whakanuia a Ihowa; kei runga hoki tona nohoanga; nana a Hiona i ki ai i te whakawa, i te tika.

The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

A ka u nga wa i a koe; hua tonu te whakaora, te whakaaro nui, te matauranga; ko te wehi ki a Ihowa hei taonga mona.

And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

Nana, he tangi o ratou maia i waho; ko nga karere hohou rongo, tiwerawera ana te tangi.

Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

Kua ururuatia nga ara, kua kore e haerea e te tangata: kua paheke i a ia te kawenata, whakahawea ana ia ki nga pa: kahore te tangata e whakaaroa e ia.

The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

E tangi ana te whenua, ngohe noa iho; kua whakama a Repanona, kua memenga; a Harono, rite tonu ki te koraha; ko nga rau o Pahana, o Karamere, ruirui rawa.

The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

Katahi ahau ka whakatika, e ai ta Ihowa; katahi ahau ka whakarewa ake i ahau, katahi ahau ka neke ake.

Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

Ko to koutou hapu he papapa, whanau ake he kakau witi; ko to koutou manawa, ka rite ki te ahi, ka kai i a koutou.

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

Ka rite hoki nga iwi ki nga tahunga kotakota; ki te tataramoa kua tapahia, e tahuna ana ki te ahi.

And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

Whakarongo, e koutou o tawhiti, ki taku i mea ai; e te hunga e tata ana, kia mohio mai ki toku kaha.

Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

Pawera noa iho nga tangata hara i Hiona, mau pu te hunga atuakore i te tuiri. Ko wai o tatou e noho ki te ahi e kai ana? ko wai o tatou e noho ki nga tahunga e kore nei e mutu?

The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

Ko te tangata e haere ana i runga i te tika, he tika ano ana korero; ko te tangata e whakahawea ana ki nga taonga o te tukino, e rukerukea ana e tona ringa te utu whakapati; e punia ana ona taringa kei rangona he korero toto, e whakamoe ana i on a kanohi kei kite i te kino;

He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

Ko te nohoanga mo tera kei runga rawa; ko tona wahi arai riri ko nga kaha o nga kamaka: ka homai he taro mana, ka pumau te wai mona.

He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

Ka kite ou kanohi i te kingi, i tona ataahua: ka matakitaki ano ki te whenua e hora mai ana i tawhiti.

Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

Ka whakaaroaroa te wehi e tou ngakau: kei hea te kaitatau, kei hea te kaipauna takoha? kei hea te kaitatau o nga pourewa?

Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

E kore koe e kite i te iwi nanakia, he hohonu nei to ratou reo, kahore e rangona e koe; he rereke te reo, e kore e matauria e koe.

Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

Titiro ki Hiona, ki te pa o a tatou hakari: ka kitea e ou kanohi a Hiruharama, he nohoanga humarie, he teneti, e kore e nekehia; e kore tetahi o ona titi e unuhia a ake ake, e kore ano tetahi o ona taura e motu.

Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

Engari ki reira a Ihowa ki a tatou me tona nui, hei wahi mo nga awa whanui mo nga wai nunui; kahore hoki he waka e hoehoea ki reira, kahore he kaipuke nui e tika na reira.

But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

No te mea ko Ihowa to tatou kaiwhakawa, ko Ihowa to tatou kaiwhakatakoto tikanga, ko Ihowa to tatou kingi; mana tatou e whakaora.

For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

Kua tangoro kau ou puwhenua, te taea te turanga o to ratou rewa te whakau, te taea te ra te whewhera: na nui atu te taonga parakete e wehewehea ana, pahuatia ana nga taonga parau e nga kopa.

Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

Kahore hoki he kianga ake a te tangata whenua, He mate toku; ko te iwi e noho ana i reira, ka murua to ratou he.

And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
