Isaías 22

1 The burden of the valley of vision.

What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops? 2 You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town, your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle. 3 All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away. 4 Therefore I said, "Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

5 For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains." 6 Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield. 7 Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate. 8 He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest. 9 You saw the breaches of David’s city, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall. 11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who planned it long ago.

12 In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, to mourning, to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth; 13 and behold, there is joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine: "Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die." 14 Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die," says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

15 The Lord, Yahweh of Armies says, "Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say, 16 ‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!" 17 Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly. 18 He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you disgrace of your lord’s house. 19 I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.

20 It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, 21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 22 I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open. 23 I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house. 24 They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers. 25 "In that day," says Yahweh of Armies, "the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it."

He Kupu Tūpato o te Urupatu o Hiruhārama

1 Ko te poropititanga mō te raorao o te whakakitenga:

He aha rā nōu, i piki katoa ai koe ki ngā tuanui?

2 E koe, e kī tonu nei koe i te ngē,

he pā turituri, he pā koa.

Ko ōu tāngata i patua ehara i te mea patu nā te hoari,

ehara i te hunga i mate i te whawhai.

3 Rere ngātahi ana ōu rangatira katoa,

herea ana rātou e ngā kaikōpere.

Te hunga katoa i kitea i roto i a koe,

herea ngātahitia ana rātou,

te hunga i rere mai i tawhiti.

4 Koia ahau i mea ai: "Kāti te titiro ki ahau,

ka nui tōku tangi;

kaua e tohe ki te whakamārie i ahau

mō te pāhuatanga o te tamāhine a tōku iwi."

5 He rā hoki tēnei nō te raruraru, nō te takahanga,

nō te pōkaikaha, he mea nā te Ariki, nā Ihowā o ngā mano,

i te raorao o te whakakitenga;

he pākaruhanga i ngā taiepa,

he karangatanga ki ngā maunga.

6 Ko tā Erama, he mau i te papa pere,

me ngā hāriata tāngata me ngā kaieke hōiho;

ko tā Kiri he whakaputa mai i te whakangungu rākau ki waho.

7 Nā, kapi ana ōu raorao whakapaipai i te hāriata,

tū ana ngā rārangi o ngā kaieke hōiho ki te kūwaha.

8 Nā, mauria atu ana e ia te hīpoki o Hūrā.

Ā, ka titiro koe i taua rā

ki ngā patu i roto i te whare o te ngahere.

9 Ā, ka kite koutou i ngā pakaru o te Pā o Rāwiri,

he maha;

ka huia hoki e koutou ngā wai

o te poka o raro.

10 Ā, taua ana e koutou ngā whare o Hiruhārama;

wāwāhia ana e koutou ngā whare hei hanga mō te taiepa.

11 Ka hangā anō e koutou he awa ki waenganui i ngā taiepa e rua

mō ngā wai o te poka tawhito.

Kāhore ia ō koutou whakaaro ki te kaimahi o tēnā mea,

kāhore hoki e titiro ki tōna kaihanga ō mua noa atu.

12 Heoi, ko te karangatanga a te Ariki, a Ihowā o ngā mano,

i taua rā ki te tangi, ki te auē, ki te moremore,

ki te whītiki i te kākahu taratara.

13 Nā, ko te koa, ko te hari,

ko te patu kau, ko te patu hipi,

ko te kai kikokiko, ko te inu wāina.

"Kia kai tātou, kia inu;

āpōpō hoki tātou mate ai."

14 Nā, ka whakaatu a Ihowā o ngā mano ki ōku taringa: "He pono, e kore rawa tēnei hē o koutou e murua, ā mate noa koutou," e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā o ngā mano.

He Whakatūpato ki a Hepena

15 Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā o ngā mano:

"Haere mai, haere ki tēnei kaitiaki o ngā moni,

ki a Hepena, ki te rangatira o te whare, mea atu:

16 He aha tāu i konei? Ko wai hoki tāu i konei,

i haua ai e koe he tanumanga mōu ki konei?

E hahau ana koe he tanumanga mōna i te wāhi tiketike,

e tārai ana he nohoanga mōna ki te kāmaka!

17 "Nanā, ka makā kinotia atu koe e Ihowā,

ka pērātia i tā te tangata kaha.

Āe rā, ka kōpakina rawatia koe e ia.

18 He pono ka tahuri ia, ka whiua koe,

ānō he mea porotaka ki tētahi whenua nui;

hei reira koe mate ai,

ki reira anō hoki ngā hāriata o tōu korōria,

e koe, e te whakamā o te whare o tōu ariki.

19 Ka peia atu hoki koe e ahau i tōu tūranga,

ka turakina iho anō koe e ia i tōu wāhi.

20 "I taua rā ka karangatia e ahau tāku pononga, e Eriakimi tama a Hirikia. 21 Ka whakakākahuria anō ia e ahau ki tōu kākahu, ka whakakahangia hoki ki tōu whītiki, ka hoatu anō tōu kāwanatanga ki tōna ringa, ā, hei matua ia ki ngā tāngata o Hiruhārama, ki te whare anō o Hūrā. 22 Ka waiho anō e ahau te kī o te whare o Rāwiri ki runga ki tōna pokohiwi; nā, māna e whakatuwhera, ā, kāhore he tangata hei tūtaki, māna e tūtaki, ā, kāhore he tangata hei whakatuwhera. 23 Ka titia hoki ia e ahau ānō he titi ki te wāhi mau, ā, hei torōna korōria ia ki te whare o tōna pāpā. 24 Ka whakairihia anō e rātou ki runga ki a ia te korōria katoa o te whare o tōna pāpā, ngā uri, ngā whānau, ngā oko ririki katoa, arā ngā oko hei peihana, me ngā oko katoa anō hei hāka.

25 "I taua rā, e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano, ka taui te titi i titia nei ki te wāhi māu, ka tapahia, ka marere ki raro; ka motuhia atu anō te mea e iri ana i runga." Nā Ihowā hoki te kupu.
