¹Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,

¹¶ Aue te mate mo nga tamariki whakakeke, e ai ta Ihowa, e hanga whakaaro nei, otiia ehara i te mea naku; e hipoki nei i te hipoki, ehara ia i te mea na toku wairua, he mea kia taparua iho ai e ratou he hara ki runga ki te hara:

²that set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!

²E haere nei ki raro ki Ihipa, kahore hoki e ui tikanga ki toku mangai; hei kaha hoki mo ratou te kaha o Parao, a e mea ana kia whakawhirinaki ki te taumarumarunga iho o Ihipa!

³Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

³Mo reira hei mea whakama ki a koutou te kaha o Parao, hei mea ano e numinumi ai koutou te whakawhirinaki ki te taumarumarunga iho o Ihipa.

⁴For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors are come to Hanes.

⁴I Toana hoki ana rangatira, i tae ano ana karere ki Hanehe.

⁵They shall all be ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

⁵Whakama katoa ratou ki te iwi kahore nei a ratou pai mo ratou, kahore he awhina, kahore he pai; engari he whakama, he ingoa kino.

⁶The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit [them].

⁶Ko te poropititanga mo nga kararehe o te tonga. I te whenua o te raruraru, o te ngakau mamae, no reira nei te raiona uha me te raiona toa, te waipera me te nakahi e rere nei me he ahi, ka kawea atu e ratou o ratou rawa i runga i nga pokohiwi o ng a kuao kaihe, o ratou taonga i runga i nga koropuku o nga kamera ki te iwi kahore nei a ratou pai mo ratou.

⁷For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth still.

⁷Ko ta Ihipa awhina hoki he horihori, he kore noa iho: koia i huaina ai e ahau, ko Rahapa noho tonu.

⁸Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.

⁸¶ Na haere, tuhituhia ki te papa ki to ratou aroaro, taia iho hoki ki te pukapuka; me waiho ano tena i nga ra i muri hei kaiwhakaatu a ake ake.

⁹For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;

⁹He tutu hoki tenei iwi, he tamariki korero teka, he tamariki kahore e pai ki te whakarongo ki te ture a Ihowa:

¹⁰that say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits,

¹⁰Ko ta ratou nei kupu ki nga matakite, Kaua e kite; ki nga poropiti, Kaua e poropititia ki a matou nga mea tika; korero ki a matou i nga mea ngawari; hei nga mea tinihanga he poropititanga ma koutou:

¹¹get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

¹¹Peka atu i te ara, whakarerea te huarahi, kati ta te Mea Tapu o Iharaira te mea mai ki to matou aroaro.

¹²Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely thereon;

¹²Na ko te kupu tenei a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, Kua paopao na koutou ki tenei kupu, kua okioki ano ki te tukino, ki te whanoke, u tonu atu ki reira:

¹³therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly in an instant.

¹³Na, ko te tukunga iho o tenei he ki a koutou, ka rite ki te pakaru o te taiepa, meake nei hinga, kua ngawha haere i te wahi tiketike, kitea rawatia ake kua puta whakarere tona pakaru.

¹⁴And he shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd wherewith to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.

¹⁴Ka wahia hoki e ia, pera i te oko a te kaihanga rihi e wahia ana, mongamonga noa, e kore e tohungia; na e kore e kitea i roto i ona kongakonga he maramara hei tango ahi mai i te kanga ahi, hei utu wai ake ranei i te poka.

¹⁵For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not:

¹⁵Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, Ma te tahuri mai, ma te humarie ka ora ai koutou; kei te ata noho, kei te whakawhirinaki he kaha mo koutou; heoi kihai koutou i pai.

¹⁶but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

¹⁶Na i ki na koutou, Kahore, engari me rere matou i runga i te hoiho; mo reira ka rere koutou: a, Ka eke matou ki runga ki te mea tere; mo reira ka tere ano te hunga e whai ana i a koutou.

¹⁷One thousand [shall flee] at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.

¹⁷Ko te mano kotahi, ka rere i te riri a te tangata kotahi; ka rere koutou i te riri a te tokorima; a ka mahue koutou ano he pou kara i te tihi o te maunga, ano he kara i runga i te pukepuke.

¹⁸And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for him.

¹⁸¶ Na konei ano a Ihowa ka tatari, he mea kia atawhaitia ai koutou e ia, na konei ano ia ka whakanekehia ake, kia tohungia ai koutou e ia: he Atua whakawa hoki a Ihowa, ka hari te hunga katoa e tatari ana ki a ia.

¹⁹For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; thou shalt weep no more; he will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear, he will answer thee.

¹⁹Tera hoki te iwi e noho ki Hiona, ki Hiruharama; mutu ake tou tangi: he pono ka aroha ia ki a koe, ki tou reo e tangi ana; ka rongo ia ki a koe, ka whakahoki kupu ia ki a koe.

²⁰And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers;

²⁰Ahakoa homai e te Ariki hei taro ma koutou ko te ngakau mamae, hei wai ano ko te tukino, e kore ou kaiwhakaako e huna a muri; engari ka kite ou kanohi i ou kaiwhakaako:

²¹and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

²¹A ka rongo ou taringa i te kupu i muri i a koe e mea ana, Ko te ara tenei: na konei atu, ina tahuri koutou ki matau, ina tahuri ki maui.

²²And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as an unclean thing; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

²²Ka whakapokea hoki e koutou te kopaki o au whakapakoko hiriwa, me te mea whakakikorua o au whakapakoko koura whakarewa: ka rukerukea atu e koe, ano he mea poke, a ka mea ki taua mea, Haere atu.

²³And he will give the rain for thy seed, wherewith thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;

²³A ka homai e ia he ua ki tau purapura e whakatokia e koe ki te oneone, he taro ano, he hua no te oneone, a ka whai ngako, ka nui taua mea: i taua ra ano he nunui nga parae e kai ai au kararehe.

²⁴the oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

²⁴A ko nga kau me nga kuao kaihe e mahi ana i te oneone, ka kai i te kai pai, he mea i whakarererea ki te koko, ki te whakarerere witi.

²⁵And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks [and] streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

²⁵A i runga i nga maunga tiketike katoa, i nga pukepuke ikeike katoa, ka rere he awa, he manga wai, i te ra o te parekura nui, ina hinga nga pourewa.

²⁶Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

²⁶Ko te marama hoki o te marama ka rite ki te marama o te ra, a ko te marama o te ra, e whitu ona whakanekehanga ake, ka rite ki te marama o nga ra e whitu, i te ra e takaia ai e Ihowa te kaiakiko o tana iwi, ina rongoatia e ia te patunga i patua ai ratou.

²⁷Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire;

²⁷¶ Nana, kei te haere mai te ingoa o Ihowa i tawhiti, ka tonu tona riri, pongere tonu te paowa e kake ana; ki tonu ona ngutu i te riri, ko tona arero koia ano kei te ahi e kai ana:

²⁸and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causeth to err [shall be] in the jaws of the peoples.

²⁸Ko tona manawa, ano he awa e ngawha ana, tae ana ki te kaki rawa, hei tatari i nga iwi ki te tatari o te horihori; a mau rawa ki nga kauae o nga iwi he paraire, hei whakapohehe i a ratou.

²⁹Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.

²⁹Ka waiata koutou, me te mea ko te po e mahia ai te hakari tapu; ka koa te ngakau, ano he tangata e haere ana me tana putorino, e haere ana ki te maunga o Ihowa, ki te Kamaka o Iharaira.

³⁰And Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstones.

³⁰Ka meinga hoki e Ihowa tona reo kororia kia rangona, kia kitea te tautanga iho o tona ringa, me te weriweri o tona riri, te mura o te ahi e kai ana, te apuhau, te tupuhi, me te nganga kohatu.

³¹For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be dismayed; with his rod will he smite [him].

³¹Ma te reo hoki o Ihowa ka pakaru ai te Ahiriana i whiu nei ki te rakau.

³²And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with [the sound of] tabrets and harps; and in battles with the brandishing [of his arm] will he fight with them.

³²A ko nga whakapanga katoa o te tokotoko i whakaritea, ko ta Ihowa hoki e whakapa ai ki a ia, ka meinga ki nga timipera, ki nga hapa: he whawhai whakangaueue hoki tana whawhai ki a ratou.

³³For a Topheth is prepared of old; yea, for the king it is made ready; he hath made it deep and large; the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

³³No mua iho hoki a Topete i whakaritea ai; ae ra, kua rite mo te kingi; kua oti te whakahohonu, te whakanui: ko tona puranga he ahi, nui atu hoki te wahie; ko te manawa o Ihowa, ano he awa whanariki, hei whakangiha.
