¹Thus says Yahweh to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him, and strip kings of their armor; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:

¹¶ Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki tana i whakawahi ai, ki a Hairuha, he mea pupuri nei naku tona ringa matau, kia pehia ai e ia nga iwi ki raro i a ia; maku ano e wewete to nga hope o nga kingi; ko nga tatau ka whakapuaretia ki tona aroaro; e kore ano nga kuwaha e tutakina.

²“I will go before you, and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of brass in pieces, and cut apart the bars of iron.

²Ko ahau e haere i mua i a koe, ki te whakatikatika i nga wahi tapokopoko: ko nga tatau parahi ka pakaru i ahau; ka tapahia ano e ahau nga tutaki rino.

³I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who call you by your name, even the God of Israel.

³Ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe nga taonga o te pouri, me nga mea huna o nga wahi ngaro, kia mohio ai koe ko Ihowa ahau, e whakahua atu nei i tou ingoa, ko te Atua o Iharaira.

⁴For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.

⁴He whakaaro naku ki taku pononga, ki a Hakopa, ki a Iharaira, ki taku i whiriwhiri ai, na reira koe, tou ingoa, i karangatia ai e ahau: whakahuatia ana e ahau tou ingoa i te mea kahore ano koe kia mohio ki ahau.

⁵I am Yahweh, and there is none else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen or, equip you, though you have not known me;

⁵¶ Ko Ihowa ahau, kahore atu hoki; kahore ke atu he atua, ko ahau anake: maku koe e whitiki, ahakoa kahore koe i mohio ki ahau:

⁶that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.

⁶Kia mohio ai te hunga i te rawhiti, me o te uru, kahore atu, ko ahau anake. Ko Ihowa ahau, kahore ke atu.

⁷I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

⁷Naku te marama i whai ahua ai, naku i hanga te pouri; ko ahau te kaihohou rongo, te kaihanga ano o te kino: ko ahau, ko Ihowa, te kaimahi o enei mea katoa.

⁸Distil, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Yahweh, have created it.

⁸Maturuturu iho, e nga rangi i runga; kia ringihia mai ano he tika e nga kapua; kia puare te whenua, kia hua te whakaora, kia wana ngatahi te tika; naku, na Ihowa, taua mea i hanga.

⁹Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands?’

⁹Aue te mate mo te tangata e totohe ana ki tona Kaiwhakaahua! He maramara rihi i roto i nga maramara rihi o te oneone! E mea ake ranei te paru ki tona kaiwhakaahua, He aha tau e mahi na? e mea ranei tau i hanga ai, Kahore ona ringa?

¹⁰Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘To what have you given birth?’”

¹⁰Aue te mate mo te tangata e mea ana ki tona papa, He aha tau kua whanau nei? ki te wahine ranei, He aha te mea ka whakamamae na koe?

¹¹Thus says Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!

¹¹¶ Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, a tona Kaiwhakaahua ano, Uia mai ki ahau nga mea e puta mai a mua; ko nga meatanga ki aku tamariki, ki te mahi hoki a oku ringa, whakahaua mai ahau e koe.

¹²I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and I have commanded all their army.

¹²Naku i mahi te whenua, i hanga hoki nga tangata o runga: naku, na oku ringa i hora nga rangi; ko o ratou mano katoa he mea whakahau naku.

¹³I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says Yahweh of Armies.

¹³Naku ia i whakaara ake i runga i te tika, maku ano e whakatikatika ona ara katoa: ko ia hei hanga i toku pa, hei tuku i aku parau kia haere, kahore hoki he utu, kahore he moni whakapati, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

¹⁴Thus says Yahweh: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains; and they will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is none else. There is no other god.

¹⁴Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko nga mauiui o Ihipa, ko nga taonga hokohoko o Etiopia, ko nga Tapeani, he tangata roroa, ka tae mai ki a koe, a ka riro i a koe; ka whai ratou i a koe; ka tae mekameka mai, ka piko ki a koe, ka mea, He pono kei roto i a koe te Atua, kahore atu hoki, kahore he Atua.

¹⁵Most certainly you are a God who hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”

¹⁵He pono he Atua koe e whakangaro ana i a koe, e te Atua o Iharaira, e te Kaiwhakaora.

¹⁶They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.

¹⁶Ka whakama, ae ra, ka numinumi kau ratou katoa; ka riro ngatahi ki te whakama nga kaimahi o nga whakapakoko.

¹⁷Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

¹⁷Ko Iharaira ia, ka ora i roto i a Ihowa, he whakaoranga pumau tonu. E kore koutou e whakama, e kore e numinumi a ake ake.

¹⁸For thus says Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited: “I am Yahweh; and there is no other.

¹⁸Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te kaihanga o nga rangi; ko ia te Atua; nana i whakawhaiahua te whenua, nana i mahi; nana i whakapumau, kihai i hanga e ia hei takoto kau, i whakaahuatia e ia hei nohoanga. Ko Ihowa ahau, kahore ke atu.

¹⁹I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.

¹⁹Kihai ahau i korero i te wahi ngaro, i te wahi pouri o te whenua; kihai ahau i mea ki te uri o Hakopa, Rapua ahau, he mea noa iho. Ko taku korero, ko ta Ihowa, kei te tika, e whakaatu ana i nga mea e rite ana.

²⁰“Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can’t save.

²⁰¶ Huihui, haere mai, whakatata ngatahi mai, e nga oranga o nga iwi: kahore he mohio o te hunga e mau ana i te rakau o ta ratou whakapakoko, e inoi ana ki te atua e kore nei e whakaora.

²¹Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior; There is no one besides me.

²¹Whakaaturia, kawea mai kia tata, kia whakatakoto whakaaro ngatahi ratou: na wai tenei i korero i mua riro na wai i whakaatu i nga wa onamata? He teka ianei naku, na Ihowa? Kore atu hoki he atua, ko ahau anake; he Atua tika, he kaiwhakaora; kahor e ke atu, ko ahau anake.

²²“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

²²Tahuri mai ki ahau, kia ora ai koutou, e nga pito katoa o te whenua: ko te Atua hoki ahau, kahore ke atu.

²³Kua waiho ahau e ahau ano hei oati; kua puta atu te kupu i toku mangai i runga i te tika, e kore ano e hoki mai, ara ka tuturi nga turi katoa ki ahau, ka oati mai ano nga arero katoa;

²⁴They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’” Even to him shall men come; and all those who were incensed against him shall be disappointed.

²⁴Ka mea mai tetahi ki ahau, Kei a Ihowa anake te tika, te kaha: ka haere mai ki a ia nga tangata, a ko nga tangata katoa i riri ki a ia ka whakama.

²⁵Ma Ihowa ka tika ai, ka whakamanamana ai te uri katoa o Iharaira.
