Isaiah

52

1Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
1¶ Maranga, maranga; kakahuria tou kaha, e Hiona; kakahuria ou kahu whakapaipai, e Hiruharama, e te pa tapu! no te mea heoi ano haerenga mai ki a koe o te mea kokotikore, o te mea poke.
2Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
2Ruperupea atu te puehu i a koe, whakatika, noho iho, e Hiruharama: wetekina nga here i tou kaki, e te tamahine herehere a Hiona.
3For thus says Yahweh, “You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money.”
3Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Kua hokona kautia atu koutou; na ehara i te moni mana koutou e whakahoki mai.
4For thus says the Lord Yahweh, “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there: and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
4Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, I haere atu taku iwi ki Ihipa i mua, ki reira noho ai; na kahore he rawa i whakatupuria kinotia ai ratou e te Ahiriana.
5“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh, “and my name continually all the day is blasphemed.
5Na he aha ra taku i konei, e ai ta Ihowa; ka kahakina kautia atu nei hoki taku iwi? tangi aue ana i o ratou rangatira, e ai ta Ihowa, e whakahaweatia tonutia ana toku ingoa i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
6Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks; behold, it is I.”
6Mo konei ka mohio taku iwi ki toku ingoa: mo konei ka mohio ratou i taua ra ko ahau te korero nei; nana, ko ahau tenei.
7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
7¶ Ano te ahuareka o nga waewae i runga i nga maunga o te kaikawe i te rongo pai, e kauwhau ana i te maunga rongo; e kawe mai ana i te rongo whakahari o te pai, e kauwhau ana i te ora; e mea ana ki a Hiona, E kingi ana tou Atua!
8The voice of your watchmen! they lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when Yahweh returns to Zion.
8Te reo o au tutei! ka maranga i a ratou te reo, ka waiata ngatahi; no te mea ka kite ratou he kanohi, he kanohi, ua whakahoki a Ihowa i Hiona.
9Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
9Hamama, waiata ngatahi, e nga wahi o Hiruharama kua ururuatia; kua whakamarie hoki a Ihowa i tana iwi, kua hoko i Hiruharama.
10Yahweh has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
10Kua huhua te ringa tapu o Ihowa ki te aroaro o nga tauiwi katoa, a ka kite nga pito katoa o te ao i te whakaora a to tatou Atua.
11Depart, depart, go out from there, touch no unclean thing! Go out of the midst of her! Cleanse yourselves, you who bear the vessels of Yahweh.
11Maunu, maunu, haere atu i reira: kaua e pa ki te mea poke; haere atu i roto i a ia; kia ma, e nga kai mau o nga oko a Ihowa.
12For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight: for Yahweh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
12E kore hoki koutou e haere kaika, e kore hoki e haere pera i te whati; no te mea ka haere a Ihowa i to koutou aroaro; ko te Atua hoki o Iharaira hei hiku mo koutou.
13Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
13¶ Nana, ka mahi tupato taku pononga, ka whakatiketiketia ia, ka hapainga ki runga, a ka tiketike rawa atu.
14Like as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
14Pera i te tini i miharo ki a koe; i kino iho hoki tona kanohi i to te tangata, tona ahua i to nga tama a te tangata:
15so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand.
15Waihoki he maha nga iwi ka tauhiuhia e ia; a ka kopi te mangai o nga kingi ki a ia; no te mea ko nga mea kihai i korerotia ki a ratou ka kitea, ko nga mea kihai i rangona ka mohiotia.
