¹For Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.

¹¶ No te mea ka aroha a Ihowa ki a Hakopa, ka whiriwhiria ano a Iharaira e ia; ka meinga hoki ratou kia ata noho ki to ratou ake oneone; ka piri ano te tangata ke ki a ratou, ka uru ano hoki ki roto ki te whare o Hakopa.

²The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in Yahweh’s land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

²E tango ano nga iwi i a ratou, e kawe i a ratou ki to ratou wahi, riro tonu iho ratou i te whare o Iharaira hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine i te oneone a Ihowa: a hei whakarau mo ratou o ratou kaiwhakarau, ko ratou ano hei rangatira mo o rat ou kaitukino.

³It will happen in the day that Yahweh will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,

³Na, i te ra e meinga ai koe e Ihowa kia okioki i tou pouri, i tou pawera, i te mahi pakeke ano hoki i whakamahia ai koe,

⁴that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!”

⁴¶ Ko reira maranga ai tenei pepeha au mo te kingi o Papurona, ka mea hoki koe, Anana! mutu pu ta te kaitukino, mutu pu ta te pa koura!

⁵Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,

⁵Whati ana i a Ihowa te tokotoko o te hunga kino, te hepeta o nga kingi;

⁶who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.

⁶Nana i patu nga iwi, me te riri, me te patu kihai i tamutu, nana i whakahaere nga iwi i runga i te riri, me te whakatupu kino, kahore he kaiaraarai.

⁷The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out song.

⁷Kua whai okiokinga, kua ata noho te whenua katoa; pakaru mai ana ta ratou waiata.

⁸Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us.”

⁸Ae, kei te koa nga kauri ki a koe, ratou ko nga hita o Repanona, e ki ana, No tou taunga ano ki raro i kore ai te kaitapahi e tae mai ki a matou.

⁹ Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

⁹Ko te reinga i raro, oho ana i a koe, he tutakitanga ki a koe i tou taenga atu; he meatanga ki a koe i whakaarahia ai e ia nga tupapaku, nga mea nunui o te whenua; maranga ana i a ia nga kingi katoa o nga iwi i runga i o ratou torona.

¹⁰They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?”

¹⁰Ka korero ratou katoa ki a koe, ka mea, Ko koe ano hoki, kua ngoikore penei me matou? kua rite koe ki a matou?

¹¹Your pomp is brought down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.

¹¹Kua oti tou kororia te whakahoki iho ki te reinga, me te rangi ano o au hatere: ko te whariki mou ko te kutukutu, ko te hipoki mou ko nga toke.

¹²How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

¹²Anana! tou takanga iho i te rangi, e Tawera, e te tama a te ata! te tapahanga iho i a koe ki raro, nau nei i tuku nga iwi ki raro!

¹³You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!

¹³I mea hoki tou ngakau, Ka piki ahau ki te rangi, ka whakanekehia ake e ahau toku torona ki runga i nga whetu a te Atua, ka noho ano ahau ki te maunga o te whakaminenga, ki nga taha rawa ki te raki.

¹⁴I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!”

¹⁴Ka pikitia e ahau a runga ake o nga wahi tiketike o nga kapua; ka rite ahau ki te Runga Rawa.

¹⁵Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , to the depths of the pit.

¹⁵Otira ka whakahokia iho koe ki te reinga, ki nga pito rawa o te rua.

¹⁶Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms;

¹⁶Ko te hunga e kite i a koe, matatau tonu ta ratou titiro ki a koe, me ta ratou ata whakaaroaro ano, Ko te tangata ianei tenei i wiri ai te whenua, i ngaueue ai nga rangatiratanga;

¹⁷who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?”

¹⁷I mea nei i te ao hei koraha, wahia ana e ia ona pa: kihai i tuku i ana herehere ki to ratou wahi?

¹⁸All the kings of the nations, sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.

¹⁸Ko nga kingi katoa o nga iwi, ko ratou katoa, takoto ana i tona whare, i tona whare, i runga i te kororia.

¹⁹But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.

¹⁹Ko koe ia he mea maka mai i tou urupa, ano he peka e whakariharihangia ana, he mea whakakakahu ki te hunga i patua, i werohia ki te hoari, e haere ana ki raro ki nga kohatu o te rua; ano he tinana i takatakahia e te waewae.

²⁰You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The seed of evildoers will not be named forever.

²⁰E kore te tanumanga mou e huihuia ki to ratou, mou i whakangaro i tou whenua, i patu i tou iwi: e kore te uri o nga kaimahi i te kino e whai ingoa, ake ake.

²¹Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.

²¹Kia tere te patu mo ana tamariki, mo te he o o ratou matua; kei kake, kei riro ano i a ratou te whenua, kei kapi te mata o te ao i o ratou pa.

²²“I will rise up against them,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son,” says Yahweh.

²²Ka whakatika hoki ahau ki a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka tapahia atu ano e ahau i Papurona te ingoa me te toenga, te tama me te mokopuna, e ai ta Ihowa.

²³“I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says Yahweh of Armies.

²³Ka meinga ano a reira e ahau hei kainga mo te matuku, hei harotoroto wai; ka purumatia ano e ahau ki te puruma o te whakangaromanga, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

²⁴Yahweh of Armies has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

²⁴¶ Kua oati a Ihowa o nga mano, kua mea, Ina, u tonu taku i whakaaro ai: ko taku i whakatakoto ai, mau tonu;

²⁵that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.

²⁵Mo te Ahiriana kia whati i ahau ki toku whenua, kia takatakahia ki runga ki oku maunga: ko reira tana ioka marere ai i runga i a ratou; a ka marere tana pikaunga i runga i o ratou pokohiwi.

²⁶This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

²⁶Ko te whakaaro tenei kei te takoto mo te whenua katoa: ko te ringa ano tenei e totoro atu nei ki nga iwi katoa.

²⁷For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”

²⁷Kua takoto hoki i a Ihowa o nga mano, a ma wai e whakataka? kua totoro tona ringa, a ko wai hei mea kia pepeke?

²⁸This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.

²⁸No te tau i mate ai a Kingi Ahata tenei poropititanga.

²⁹Don’t rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.

²⁹Kei koa, e Pirihitia katoa, ki te whatinga o te rakau a te kaiwhiu i a koe: tera hoki e puta ake he neke i roto i te pakiaka o te nakahi, a ko tona hua he nakahi e rere ana me he ahi.

³⁰The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.

³⁰Na ka kai nga matamua o nga ware, ka takoto nga rawakore, te ai he wehi; ka whakamatea ano e ahau tou pakiaka ki te hemokai, a ka patua ou morehu.

³¹Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

³¹Aue, e te kuwaha; hamama, e te pa; harotu kau koe, e Pirihitia katoa: e puta mai hoki te paowa i te raki: e kore tetahi e tu ke mai i te wa i whakaritea mona.

³²What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.

³²A he aha te kupu e whakahokia ki nga karere o te iwi? Ina ra, na Ihowa a Hiona i whakatu, a ka ai a reira hei rerenga atu mo nga mea o tana iwi i tukinotia.
