Isaiah 1
Maori Bible
1 Ko te kite a Ihaia, a te tama a Amoho, i kite ai ia mo Hura, mo Hiruharama, i nga ra o nga kingi o Hura, o Utia, o Iotama, o Ahata, o Hetekia.
2 Whakarongo, e nga rangi, kia whai taringa ano, e te whenua, kua korero hoki a Ihowa: Kua atawhai tamariki ahau, kua whakatupu hoki, na kua tahuri mai ratou ki ahau.
3 E mohio ana te kau ki tona ariki, te kaihe ki te takotoranga kai a tona rangatira: ko Iharaira ia kahore e mohio, kahore taku iwi e whakaaro.
4 Aue, e te iwi hara, he hunga taimaha i te kino, he uri no nga kaimahi i te he, he tamariki whakangau ke: kua whakarerea e ratou a Ihowa, kua whakahawea ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, kua tangata ke ratou a kua hoki whakamuri.
5 Kia patua tonutia hoki koutou hei aha, i tutu tonu ai koutou? kei te mate katoa te mahunga, kei te ruhi katoa hoki te ngakau.
6 Kahore ona wahi ora, ake i te kapu o tona waewae a tae noa ki te mahunga; he kaiakiko kau, he karawarawa, he whiunga kua pirau: kihai ena i romia, kihai i takaia, kihai ano hoki i whakangawaritia ki te hinu.
7 Ko to koutou whenua kua ururuatia; ko o koutou pa kua wera i te ahi; he tangata ke kei te kai i to koutou oneone i to koutou aroaro, ururua ana, koia ano kei ta te tangata ke raupatutanga.
8 A ka mahue iho te tamahine a Hiona, ano he tihokahoka i te mara waina, ano he wharau i te mara kukamo, he pa e whakapaea ana.
9 Me i kahore a Ihowa o nga mano te waiho i tetahi toenga nohinohi rawa nei ki a tatou, kua pera tatou me Horoma, kua rite tatou ki Komora.
10 Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e nga rangatira o Horoma; kia whai taringa mai, e te iwi o Komora, ki te ture a to tatou Atua.
11 Hei aha maku a koutou patunga maha? e ai ta Ihowa: kua makona ahau i nga tahunga o nga tinana o nga hipi toa, i te ngako o nga kararehe whangai; kahore hoki aku manakohanga atu ki te toto o nga puru, o nga reme, o nga koati toa ranei.
12 Ka haere mai koutou, ka whakakite mai ki toku aroaro, ko wai i ki atu ki tenei mea a o koutou ringa, kia takahia oku marae?
13 Kati te mau mai i nga whakahere horihori: he mea whakarihariha ki ahau te whakakakara; te kowhititanga marama, te hapati, te karangatanga o nga whakaminenga, e kore ahau e manawanui ki te kino, ki te huihui nui.
14 Ko a koutou kowhititanga marama, ko a koutou hakari whakarite, e kino ana toku ngakau: he mea porearea ki ahau; he hanga whakahoha.
15 Na ka wherahia mai o koutou ringa, ka huna e ahau oku kanohi ki a koutou; ae ra, ka whakanuia e koutou te inoi e kore ahau e rongo, kapi tonu o koutou ringa i te toto.
16 Horoi i a koutou, kia ma; whakarerea atu te kino o a koutou hanga i mua i oku kanohi; kati te mahi i te kino;
17 Akona te mahi pai; rapua te whakawa; whakatikaia ta te tangata e tukinotia ana; whakawakia ta te pani; tohea ta te pouaru.
18 Tena ra, tatou ka korerorero, e ai ta Ihowa; ahakoa i rite o koutou hara ki te mea ngangana, ka pera me te hukarere te ma; ahakoa i whero me te mea whakawhero, ka rite ki te huruhuru hipi.
19 Ki te mea ka pai koutou, a ka rongo, ka kai koutou i nga mea pai o te whenua;
20 Ki te whakakahore koutou, a ka tutu, ka pau koutou i te hoari; kua korero hoki te mangai o Ihowa.
21 Aue! tona kairautanga o te pa pono! i ki nei ia i te whakawa! he nohoanga no te tika, inaianei ia no nga kaikohuru.
22 Ko tau hiriwa kua meinga hei para, ko tau waina, kua whakaranua ki te wai.
23 Ko ou rangatira kei te whakakeke, a he hoa ratou no te hunga tahae; e whakapai ana ratou ki te moni whakapati, e whai ana i te utu; kahore ratou e whakawa ana mo te pani, a kahore te tohe a te pouaru e tae ana ki a ratou.
24 No reira ka mea te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, te Mea Nui o Iharaira, Na! ka whai mamatanga ahau i oku hoariri, ka whai utu ahau i oku hoariri:
25 Ka tahuri atu hoki toku ringa ki a koe, a ka tahia rawatia tou para, ka wehea katoatia atu ano tou tine:
26 A ka whakahokia mai e ahau ou kaiwhakawa kia rite ki o mua, me ou kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, kia rite ki o te timatanga; muri iho ka kiia koe, Ko te pa o te tika, ko te pa piripono.
27 Ka hokona a Hiona i runga i te whakawa, ana tangata hoki, e tahuri mai ana, i runga i te tika.
28 Ka huihuia ia kia kotahi tonu te whakangaromanga o te hunga poka ke, o te hunga hara, a ka whakamotitia te hunga e whakarere ana i a Ihowa.
29 Ka whakama hoki ratou i nga oki i matenuitia e koutou, numinumi kau koutou i nga kari i whiriwhiria e koutou.
30 Ka rite hoki koutou ki te oki kua memenge ona rau, ki te kari ano hoki kahore nei ona wai.
31 A hei muka te mea kaha, hei korakora ano tana mahi; na ka ngiha ngatahi raua, kahore hoki he tangata hei tinei.
Isaiah 1
New International Version
Isaiah 1
New International Version
1 The vision(A) concerning Judah and Jerusalem(B) that Isaiah son of Amoz saw(C) during the reigns of Uzziah,(D) Jotham,(E) Ahaz(F) and Hezekiah,(G) kings of Judah.
A Rebellious Nation
2 Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!(H)
For the Lord has spoken:(I)
“I reared children(J) and brought them up,
but they have rebelled(K) against me.
3 The ox knows(L) its master,
the donkey its owner’s manger,(M)
but Israel does not know,(N)
my people do not understand.(O)”
4 Woe to the sinful nation,
a people whose guilt is great,(P)
a brood of evildoers,(Q)
children given to corruption!(R)
They have forsaken(S) the Lord;
they have spurned the Holy One(T) of Israel
and turned their backs(U) on him.
5 Why should you be beaten(V) anymore?
Why do you persist(W) in rebellion?(X)
Your whole head is injured,
your whole heart(Y) afflicted.(Z)
6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head(AA)
there is no soundness(AB)—
only wounds and welts(AC)
and open sores,
not cleansed or bandaged(AD)
or soothed with olive oil.(AE)
7 Your country is desolate,(AF)
your cities burned with fire;(AG)
your fields are being stripped by foreigners(AH)
right before you,
laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.(AI)
8 Daughter Zion(AJ) is left(AK)
like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut(AL) in a cucumber field,
like a city under siege.
9 Unless the Lord Almighty
had left us some survivors,(AM)
we would have become like Sodom,
we would have been like Gomorrah.(AN)
10 Hear the word of the Lord,(AO)
you rulers of Sodom;(AP)
listen to the instruction(AQ) of our God,
you people of Gomorrah!(AR)
11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?” says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
of rams and the fat of fattened animals;(AS)
I have no pleasure(AT)
in the blood of bulls(AU) and lambs and goats.(AV)
12 When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you,(AW)
this trampling of my courts?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!(AX)
Your incense(AY) is detestable(AZ) to me.
New Moons,(BA) Sabbaths and convocations(BB)—
I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
14 Your New Moon(BC) feasts and your appointed festivals(BD)
I hate with all my being.(BE)
They have become a burden to me;(BF)
I am weary(BG) of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands(BH) in prayer,
I hide(BI) my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.(BJ)
16 Wash(BM) and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;(BN)
stop doing wrong.(BO)
17 Learn to do right;(BP) seek justice.(BQ)
Defend the oppressed.[a](BR)
Take up the cause of the fatherless;(BS)
plead the case of the widow.(BT)
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”(BU)
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;(BV)
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.(BW)
19 If you are willing and obedient,(BX)
you will eat the good things of the land;(BY)
20 but if you resist and rebel,(BZ)
you will be devoured by the sword.”(CA)
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(CB)
21 See how the faithful city
has become a prostitute!(CC)
She once was full of justice;
righteousness(CD) used to dwell in her—
but now murderers!(CE)
22 Your silver has become dross,(CF)
your choice wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels,(CG)
partners with thieves;(CH)
they all love bribes(CI)
and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.(CJ)
24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
the Mighty One(CK) of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
and avenge(CL) myself on my enemies.(CM)
25 I will turn my hand against you;[b](CN)
I will thoroughly purge(CO) away your dross(CP)
and remove all your impurities.(CQ)
26 I will restore your leaders as in days of old,(CR)
your rulers as at the beginning.
Afterward you will be called(CS)
the City of Righteousness,(CT)
the Faithful City.(CU)”
27 Zion will be delivered with justice,
her penitent(CV) ones with righteousness.(CW)
28 But rebels and sinners(CX) will both be broken,
and those who forsake(CY) the Lord will perish.(CZ)
29 “You will be ashamed(DA) because of the sacred oaks(DB)
in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens(DC)
that you have chosen.
30 You will be like an oak with fading leaves,(DD)
like a garden without water.
31 The mighty man will become tinder
and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
with no one to quench the fire.(DE)”
