Isaías 65

Te Tika o te Whakawātanga o Ihowā

1 "E rapua ana ahau e te hunga kīhai nei i ui ki ahau;

e kitea ana ahau e te hunga kīhai nei i kimi i ahau.

I mea ahau, ‘Tēnei ahau, tēnei ahau,’

ki te iwi kīhai nei i karangatia tōku ingoa ki a rātou.

2 Tuwhera tonu ōku ringa

i te rā roa nei ki te iwi tutū

e haere nei i te ara kāhore i pai,

e whai ana i ō rātou whakaaro ake,

3 ki te iwi he whakapātaritari tonu nei tā rātou

ki ahau ki tōku aroaro,

he patu whakahere i roto i ngā kāri,

he tahu whakakakara ki runga ki ngā āta pereki;

4 e noho nei i ngā urupā,

e moe ana i roto i ngā wāhi ngaro;

e kai ana i te kikokiko poaka,

ā, he hupa nō ngā mea whakarihariha kei roto i ā rātou oko.

5 Ko tā rātou kupu, ‘Tū atu, kaua e whakatata ki ahau;

he tapu rawa hoki ahau i a koe!’

He paowa ēnei ki tōku ihu,

he ahi e kā ana, ā pau noa te rā.

6 Nanā, kua oti te tuhituhi ki tōku aroaro:

E kore ahau e whakarongo puku; āe rā, ka utua e ahau,

ka utua ki roto ki ō rātou uma,

7 arā ō koutou kino, hui atu ki ngā kino o ō koutou mātua,"

e ai tā Ihowā.

"I tahu whakakakara nei ki runga ki ngā maunga,

i whakaiti nei i ahau i runga i ngā pukepuke;

mō reira ka mātua mēhuatia atu e ahau

tā rātou mahi ki tō rātou uma."

8 Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

"Ka rite ki te wāina hou e kitea ana i roto i te tautau,

ā, ka kīia, ‘Kaua e whakakorea,

he manaaki hoki kei roto,’

ka pērā anō tāku e mea ai, he whakaaro ki āku pononga,

kei kore rātou katoa.

9 Ka whakaputaina ake anō e ahau he uri i roto i a Hākopa,

i roto hoki i a Hūrā, he tangata mōna nei āku maunga;

ka riro anō a reira i āku i whiriwhiri ai,

ka noho āku pononga ki reira.

10 Ā, hei puninga hipi a Harono,

hei tāpapatanga te raorao i Ākoro mō ngā kau

a tāku iwi i rapu nei i ahau.

11 "Ko koutou ia kua whakarere i a Ihowā,

kua wareware ki tōku maunga tapu,

kua whakapaia e koutou he tēpu mā Kara,

whakakīia ana e koutou he ringihanga ki a Meni;

12 ka tukua atu koutou e ahau mā te hoari,

ka tuohu koutou katoa, ka tukitukia;

nō te mea i karanga ahau, ā, kīhai koutou i whakaō mai.

I kōrero ahau, ā, kīhai koutou i whakarongo.

Heoi, mahia ana e koutou te kino ki tāku tirohanga,

whiriwhiria ana e koutou te mea kīhai i paingia e ahau."

13 Nā, ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā:

"Nanā, ko āku pononga, ka kai rātou,

ko koutou ia ka matekai;

nanā, ko āku pononga, ka inu rātou,

ko koutou ia ka matewai;

nanā, ko āku pononga, ka koa rātou,

ko koutou ia ka whakamā.

14 Nanā, ko āku pononga, ka waiata rātou

he koa nō te ngākau,

ko koutou ia ka tangi i te pōuri o te ngākau,

ka auē i te marū o te wairua.

15 Ā, ka waiho anō e koutou tō koutou ingoa

hei kanga mā āku i whiriwhiri ai,

ā, ka whakamatea koutou e te Ariki, e Ihowā,

ka huaina hoki e ia he ingoa kē ki āna pononga.

16 Kia waiho te tangata e manaaki ana i a ia anō i te whenua,

māna ia e manaaki i runga i te Atua o te pono;

ko te tangata hoki e oati ana i te whenua,

ko te Atua o te pono hei oati māna.

Nō te mea ka warewaretia ngā raru o mua,

ā, nō te mea kei te huna atu i ōku kanohi."

Te Korōria o te Hanganga Hou

17 "Tēnei hoki ahau kei te hanga

ngā rangi hou, i te whenua hou.

E kore anō ō mua e maharatia,

e kore anō puta ake ki te ngākau.

18 Engari kia koa koutou, kia whakamanamana

ki tāku e hanga nei ake ake;

nō te mea tēnei ahau te hanga nei i Hiruhārama hei whakamanamananga,

i tōna iwi anō hei koanga ngākau.

19 Ka whakamanamana anō ahau ki Hiruhārama,

ka koa ki tāku iwi;

e kore anō e rangona i muri te reo e tangi ana,

te reo e auē ana i roto i a ia.

20 "Kāhore ō reira kōhungahunga

he torutoru nei ōna rā ake ake,

kāhore he koroheke kīhai i rite ōna rā;

nō te mea kotahi rau ngā tau o te taitamariki tōna matenga;

ko te tangata hara ia, kotahi rau nei ōna tau, he mea kanga.

21 Ka hanga whare anō rātou, nohoia iho;

ka whakatōkia he māra wāina, ka kainga anō ngā hua.

22 E kore e hangā e rātou hei nohoanga iho mō te tangata kē,

e kore e whakatōkia hei kai mā tētahi atu tangata.

Nō te mea ka rite ngā rā o tāku iwi

ki ngā rā o te rākau,

ā, ka roa āku i whiriwhiri ai e āhuareka ana

ki te mahi a ō rātou ringa.

23 E kore rātou e māuiui noa,

e kore e whānau hei mate;

nō te mea he uri rātou nō a Ihowā i manaaki ai,

rātou tahi anō ko tā rātou whānau.

24 Kāhore anō rātou kia karanga noa, kua whakaō atu ahau;

i a rātou anō e kōrero ana, ka rongo ahau.

25 Ko te wuruhi, ko te reme, ka kai tahi rāua;

ko te raiona, ka rite ki te kau, ka kai kakau wīti;

ko te nākahi, ko te puehu hei kai māna.

E kore rātou e tūkino, e whakamate,

puta noa i tōku maunga tapu,"

e ai tā Ihowā.

1 I am inquired of by them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. 2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts; 3 a people that provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks; 4 that sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; that eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; 5 that say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. 6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yea, I will recompense into their bosom, 7 your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, that have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I first measure their work into their bosom.

8 Thus saith Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all. 9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. 10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. 11 But ye that forsake Jehovah, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for Fortune, and that fill up mingled wine unto Destiny; 12 I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be put to shame; 14 behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit. 15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen; and the Lord Jehovah will slay thee; and he will call his servants by another name: 16 so that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.

17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying. 20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed. 21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the seed of the blessed of Jehovah, and their offspring with them. 24 And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith Jehovah.
