¹¶ Nana, taku pononga e tautokona ake nei e ahau, taku i whiriwhiri ai, ahuareka tonu toku ngakau ki a ia: ka waiho e ahau toku wairua ki runga ki a ia; mana e whakapuaki te whakawa ki nga tauiwi.

¹Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

²E kore ia e hamama, e kore ano tona reo e ara, e kore e rangona i te ara.

²He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

³Ko te kakaho kope e kore e whatiia porokeretia e ia: e kore hoki te muka whakapaowa e tineia e ia: ka whakapuakina e ia te whakawa i runga i te pono.

³A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

⁴E kore ia e ngoikore, e kore e ngakaukore, kia takoto ra ano i a ia te whakawa ki te whenua: ka tatari ano nga motu ki tana ture.

⁴He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

⁵¶ Ko te kupu tenei a te Atua, a Ihowa, nana nei nga rangi i hanga, i hora; nana nei i takoto ai te whenua me nga mea ano e puta mai ana i reira; nana nei i homai he manawa ki o reira tangata, me te wairua ano ki te hunga e haereere ana i reira.

⁵Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

⁶He mea karanga koe naku, na Ihowa, i runga i te tika, maku ano tou ringa e pupuri, maku koe e tiaki, ka hoatu ano koe e ahau hei kawenata ki te iwi, hei marama mo nga tauiwi;

⁶I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

⁷Hei whakatitiro i nga kanohi matapo, hei whakaputa mai i nga herehere i roto i te whare e tutaki tonu ana, i te hunga e noho ana i te pouri, i roto i te whare herehere.

⁷To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

⁸Ko Ihowa ahau: ko toku ingoa tena: e kore ano e tukua e ahau toku kororia ki tetahi atu, toku whakamoemiti ki te whakapakoko.

⁸I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

⁹Nana, kua puta mai nga mea o mua, he mea hou enei e whakaaturia nei e ahau: i te mea kahore ano kia pihi noa ka korerotia nei e ahau ki a koutou.

⁹Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

¹⁰Waiatatia ki a Ihowa he waiata hou, me te whakamoemiti ki a ia i te pito o te whenua, e te hunga e haere ana ki raro, ki te moana, e o reira tini mea, e nga motu, e nga tangata e noho ana i reira.

¹⁰Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

¹¹No reira kia nui te reo o te koraha, o nga pa ano o reira, o nga kainga, e nohoia ana e Kerara; kia waiata nga tangata o Here, kia hamama ratou i runga i te tihi o nga maunga.

¹¹Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

¹²Kia whakakororiatia a Ihowa e ratou, kia kauwhautia te whakamoemiti ki a ia i nga motu.

¹²Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

¹³¶ Ka puta mai a Ihowa, ko te ahua kei to te tangata marohirohi; ka whakaoho i te hae ka pera i te tangata whawhai; ka karanga, ae ra, ka hamama; ka kaha noa atu i ona hoariri.

¹³The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

¹⁴Ka roa nei taku whakamorokitanga, i whakarongo puku ahau, whakakoromaki tonu; katahi nei ahau ka aue, ka pera me te wahine e whanau ana; ka whakahotu ahau, ka kahekahe ngatahi.

¹⁴I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

¹⁵Ka whakaururuatia e ahau nga maunga me nga pukepuke, ka maroke i ahau nga otaota katoa o reira; ka meinga nga awa hei motu, ka maroke ano i ahau nga harotoroto.

¹⁵I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

¹⁶Ka kawea ano e ahau nga matapo ma te ara kihai nei ratou i mohio: ka meinga te pouri hei marama ki to ratou aroaro, me nga wahi kopikopiko kia tika. Ka meatia enei mea e ahau ki a ratou, e kore ano ahau e whakarere i a ratou.

¹⁶And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

¹⁷Ka hoki ratou ki muri, nui atu to ratou whakama, to te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki nga whakapakoko, e mea ana ki te mea whakarewa, Ko koutou o matou atua.

¹⁷They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

¹⁸¶ Whakarongo, e nga turi; titiro, e nga matapo, kia kite ai koutou.

¹⁸Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

¹⁹Ko wai atu te matapo? ko taku pononga nei anake; ko wai te turi hei rite mo taku pononga i unga nei e ahau? ko wai te matapo hei rite mo te tangata e mau nei tana rongo ki ahau? ko wai te matapo hei rite mo ta Ihowa pononga?

¹⁹Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant?

²⁰He maha nga mea e kitea ana e koe, heoi kahore e mahara: e puare ana ona taringa, heoi kahore e rongo.

²⁰Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.

²¹Pai tonu mai a Ihowa, he whakaaro ki tona tika; ka whakanuia e ia te ture, ka whakahonoretia.

²¹The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

²²Ko tenei iwi ia he pahuatanga, he taonga parau; he mea mahanga ratou katoa i roto i nga rua, ngaro tonu i roto i te whare herehere, hei pahuatanga ratou, kahore hoki he kaiwhakaora; hei taonga parau; kahore hoki he tangata e ki ana, Whakahokia.

²²But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

²³Ko wai i roto i a koutou e whai taringa ki tenei? ko wai e mahara mai, e whakarongo mai, mo nga wa hoki o muri?

²³Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?

²⁴Na wai a Hakopa i tuku hei taonga parau? a Iharaira hoki hei meatanga ma nga kaipahua? he teka ianei na Ihowa? kua hara nei hoki tatou ki a ia, kinai hoki ratou i pai kia haere i ana ara, kihai i whakarongo ki tana ture.

²⁴Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

²⁵Na reira ringihia ana e ia te aritarita o tona riri ki a ia, me te pakanga kaha; wera ana ia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, te mohio ia; tahuna ana ia, heoi kihai tona ngakau i mahara.

²⁵Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
