Isaías 48

1 "Hear this, house of Jacob,

you who are called by the name of Israel,

and have come out of the waters of Judah.

You swear by Yahweh’s name,

and make mention of the God of Israel,

but not in truth, nor in righteousness—

2 for they call themselves citizens of the holy city,

and rely on the God of Israel;

Yahweh of Armies is his name.

3 I have declared the former things from of old.

Yes, they went out of my mouth, and I revealed them.

I did them suddenly, and they happened.

4 Because I knew that you are obstinate,

and your neck is an iron sinew,

and your brow bronze;

5 therefore I have declared it to you from of old;

before it came to pass I showed it to you;

lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them.

My engraved image and my molten image has commanded them.’

6 You have heard it.

Now see all this.

And you, won’t you declare it?

"I have shown you new things from this time,

even hidden things, which you have not known.

7 They are created now, and not from of old.

Before today, you didn’t hear them,

lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’

8 Yes, you didn’t hear.

Yes, you didn’t know.

Yes, from of old your ear was not opened,

for I knew that you dealt very treacherously,

and were called a transgressor from the womb.

9 For my name’s sake, I will defer my anger,

and for my praise, I hold it back for you

so that I don’t cut you off.

10 Behold, I have refined you,

but not as silver.

I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

11 For my own sake,

for my own sake, I will do it;

for how would my name be profaned?

I will not give my glory to another.

12 "Listen to me, O Jacob,

and Israel my called:

I am he.

I am the first.

I am also the last.

13 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth,

and my right hand has spread out the heavens.

when I call to them, they stand up together.

14 "Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear!

Who among them has declared these things?

He whom Yahweh loves will do what he likes to Babylon,

and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.

15 I, even I, have spoken.

Yes, I have called him.

I have brought him

and he shall make his way prosperous.

16 "Come near to me and hear this:

"From the beginning I have not spoken in secret;

from the time that it happened, I was there."

Now the Lord Yahweh has sent me

with his Spirit.

17 Yahweh,

your Redeemer,

the Holy One of Israel, says:

"I am Yahweh your God,

who teaches you to profit,

who leads you by the way that you should go.

18 Oh that you had listened to my commandments!

Then your peace would have been like a river

and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

19 Your offspring also would have been as the sand

and the descendants of your body like its grains.

His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me."

20 Leave Babylon!

Flee from the Chaldeans!

With the sound of joyful shouting announce this,

tell it even to the end of the earth;

say, "Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob!"

21 They didn’t thirst when he led them through the deserts.

He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them.

He also split the rock and the waters gushed out.

22 "There is no peace", says Yahweh, "for the wicked."

Ko Ihowā te Kaihanga, te Kaiwhakaora hoki

1 "Whakarongo ki tēnei, e te whare o Hākopa,

e te hunga kua huaina nei ko Īharaira hei ingoa mō koutou,

kua puta ake nei i roto i ngā wai o Hūrā;

e whakaoati ana i te ingoa o Ihowā,

e whakahua ana i te Atua o Īharaira,

ehara ia i te mea i runga i te pono, i te tika.

2 Ki tā rātou karanga hoki, nō te pā tapu rātou,

e okioki ana hoki ki te Atua o Īharaira;

ko Ihowā o ngā mano tōna ingoa.

3 "He mea whakaatu nāku nōnamata ngā mea ō mua;

āe rā, i puta anō hoki aua mea i tōku māngai, he mea kōrero nāku;

kitea rawatia ake kua mahia e ahau, kua puta.

4 I mōhio hoki ahau he pakeke koe,

he uaua rino hoki tōu kakī,

he parāhi tōu rae.

5 Nā reira nāku i whakaatu ki a koe inamata;

kīanō i puta kua kōrerotia e ahau ki a koe;

kei kī koe, ‘Nā tāku whakapakoko ēnā mahi,

he mea whakahau ēnei nā te mea i whaowhaoa e ahau,

nā te mea i whakarewaina e ahau.’

6 "Kua rongo koe; tirohia tēnei katoa;

ā, e kore ianei e whakaaturia e koutou?

Kua kōrerotia nei e ahau ki a koe he mea hou,

he mea i muri i tēnei wā, he mea huna, kīhai i mōhiotia e koe.

7 He mea hanga nōnāianei, kāhore hoki inamata;

i mua i tēnei rā kīhai i rangona e koutou;

kei kī koe, ‘Nanā, i mōhiotia e ahau.’

8 Āe rā, kīhai koe i rongo, kīhai i mōhio;

āe rā, mai ō mua kīhai tōu taringa i whakapuaretia.

I mōhio hoki ahau i mahi tinihanga koe,

ā, nō te kōpū anō koe i huaina ai he poka kē.

9 "Ka whakaaro ahau ki tōku ingoa, ā, ka pūhoi tōku riri;

ka whakaaro ki te whakamoemiti ki ahau,

ā, ka pēhi i tāku ki a koe, kei hātepea atu koe.

10 Kua oti ōu para te tahi e ahau, ehara ia i te mea hei hiriwa;

he mea whiriwhiri koe nāku i roto i te oumu, i te tangi.

11 He whakaaro ki ahau, he whakaaro ki ahau, i meatia ai tēnei e ahau.

Kia whakapokea koia tōku ingoa?

E kore anō tōku korōria e hoatu e ahau ki tētahi atu.

12 "Whakarongo ki ahau, e Hākopa,

e Īharaira, e tāku i karanga ai:

Ko ahau ia, ko ahau te tuatahi,

ko ahau anō te mutunga.

13 Āe rā, nā tōku ringa i whakatakoto ngā tūranga o te whenua,

nā tōku matau i hora ngā rangi;

ki te karangatia rātou e ahau,

ka tū ngātahi rātou.

14 "Huihui mai, e koutou katoa, whakarongo hoki!

Nā wai o rātou ēnei mea i whakaatu?

He mea aroha ia nā Ihowā;

ka oti i a ia tāna i pai ai ki Papurōna,

ka pā anō tōna ringa ki ngā Karari.

15 Nāku, nāku te kupu, āe rā, he mea karanga ia nāku,

nāku ia i kawe mai, ka tika anō i a ia tōna ara.

16 "Whakatata mai ki ahau, whakarongo ki tēnei!

"Ko tāku, nō te tīmatanga rā anō ehara i te kōrero puku;

i ngā wā o aua mea, i reira ahau."

Nā ināianei, nā te Ariki, nā Ihowā ahau i unga mai,

nā tōna wairua anō.

17 Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā,

a tōu kaihoko, a te Mea Tapu o Īharaira:

"Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tōu Atua

e whakaako nei i a koe ki te pai mōu,

e ārahi nei i a koe i te ara e haere ai koe.

18 Auē, me i rongo koe ki āku whakahau,

inā, kua rite ki te awa te mau o te rongo ki a koe;

ko tōu tika, koia anō kei ngā ngaru o te moana.

19 Kua rite anō ōu uri ki te onepū,

ngā whānau o ōu whēkau ki te kirikiri o reira;

ko tōna ingoa kīhai i hātepea atu,

kīhai i whakangaromia i tōku aroaro."

20 Haere atu i Papurōna,

e rere i roto i ngā Karari;

kia waiata te reo i a koutou e whakaatu ana;

kōrerotia tēnei,

whakapuakina ki te pito o te whenua;

kī atu, "Kua oti i a Ihowā tāna pononga, a Hākopa te hoko."

21 Kīhai anō rātou i matewai i a ia e ārahi ana i a rātou i ngā koraha;

i meinga e ia te wai mō rātou kia rere i roto i te kāmaka;

i wāhia e ia te kāmaka,

ā, pupū mai ana te wai.

22 "Kāhore he maunga rongo ki te hunga kino," e ai tā Ihowā.
