1But there shall be no gloom to her that was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time hath he made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
1¶ Otiia e kore e pouri tonu ia i mamae nei. I te wa i mua i whakaititia e ia te whenua o Hepurona me te whenua o Napatari: i te wa ia i muri nei ka whakakororiatia e ia, i te ara o te moana, i tawahi o Horano, i Kariri o nga tauiwi.
2The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
2Ko te hunga i haereere i te pouri, kua kite i te marama nui: ko nga tangata e noho ana i te whenua o te atarangi o te mate, kua whiti te marama ki a ratou.
3Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased their joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
3Kua whakatokomahatia e koe te iwi, kua whakanuia e koe to ratou koa; koa noa iho ratou ki tou aroaro, me te mea e koa ana ki te kotinga witi, e whakamanamana ana ranei ki nga taonga parakete e wehewehea ana.
4For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.
4Whati pu hoki i a koe te ioka o tana kawenga, te rakau whiu mo tona pokohiwi, te rakau o tona kaiwhakatupu kino, koia ano kei to te ra i a Miriana.
5For all the armor of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be for burning, for fuel of fire.
5Ko nga mea whawhai katoa hoki a te tangata whawhai mo te ngangau, ko nga kakahu i okeokea ki te toto, hei tahunga ena, hei kai ma te ahi.
6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
6Kua whanau nei hoki he tamaiti ma tatou, kua homai he tama ki a tatou; a ki runga ki tona pokohiwi te rangatiratanga; na, ko te ingoa e huaina ki a ia ko Whakamiharo, ko Kaiwhakatakoto Whakaaro, ko te Atua Kaha Rawa, ko te Matua Mutungakore, ko t e Rangatira o te Rongomau.
7Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
7Kahore he mutunga o te nui haere o tona kingitanga, o te mau o tana rongo, ki runga ki te torona o Rawiri, ki runga hoki i tona rangatiratanga, kia u ai, kia mau ai hoki i runga i te whakawa, i runga i te tika aianei a ake tonu atu. Ka oti tenei i te ngakau whakapuke o Ihowa o nga mano.
8The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
8¶ I unga e te Ariki he kupu ki a Hakopa, kua tau ano ki a Iharaira.
9And all the people shall know, [even] Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in stoutness of heart,
9A ka mohio te iwi katoa, a Eparaima ratou ko te tangata o Hamaria, he whakapehapeha nei, he ngakau nui nei to ratou ki te ki mai,
10The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone; the sycomores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.
10Kua horo nga pereki, a ma tatou e hanga ki te kohatu tarai; kua oti nga hikamora te tapahi, ka puta ke i a tatou he hita.
11Therefore Jehovah will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
11No reira ka whakaarahia e Ihowa nga hoariri o Retini ki a ia, a ka oho i a ia ona hoa whawhai;
12the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
12Ko nga Hiriani ki mua, ko nga Pirihitini ki muri, hamama tonu ki te kai i a Iharaira. Ahakoa ko tenei katoa e kore tona riri e tahuri ke, engari maro tonu tona ringa.
13Yet the people have not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought Jehovah of hosts.
13Na kihai ano te iwi i tahuri ki to ratou kaiwhiu, kihai ano hoki i rapu i a Ihowa o nga mano.
14Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
14Mo reira ka tapahia e Ihowa te upoko o Iharaira me te hiawero, te nikau me te wiwi, i te ra kotahi.
15The elder and the honorable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
15Ko te kaumatua me te tangata ingoa nui, ko ia te upoko; ko te poropiti whakaako teka, ko ia te hiawero.
16For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
16Ko nga kaiarahi hoki o tenei iwi hei whakapohehe i a ratou, a pau ake a ratou i arahi ai.
17Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
17Mo reira kahore o te Ariki koa ki a ratou taitamariki, e kore ano e tohungia a ratou pani, a ratou pouaru; no te mea he noa ratou katoa, he kaimahi i te kino, he wairangi te korero a nga mangai katoa. Ahakoa ko tenei katoa, e kore tona riri e ta huri ke, engari maro tonu tona ringa.
18For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
18Kei te toro nei hoki te kino, ano he ahi: pau ake i a ia nga tataramoa me nga tumatakuru; na ka ka ki nga rakau pururu o te ngahere, ka pupu ake nga kapua pongere o te paowa whakarunga.
19Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burnt up; and the people are as the fuel of fire: no man spareth his brother.
19Na te riri o Ihowa o nga mano i toro ai te whenua; a ko te iwi, ano he kai ma te ahi; e kore tona tuakana, tona teina e tohungia e tetahi.
20And one shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
20A ka kapohia e tetahi mana i te taha ki matau, a ka matekai ano; a ka kai ia i te taha ki maui, a e kore ratou e makona; ka kainga e ratou, e tena, e tena o ratou te kikokiko o tona ake ringa:
21Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
21A Manahi ki a Eparaima; a Eparaima ki a Manahi; a ko raua tokorua ki a Hura. Ahakoa ko tenei katoa, e kore tona riri e tahuri ke, engari maro tonu tona ringa.
