Isaiah 41
Maori Bible
41 Whakarongoa i toku aroaro, e nga motu; a kia puta hou mai he kaha mo nga iwi: me neke mai ratou; a me korero ratou: tatou tahi me whakatata ki te whakawa.
2 Na wai i whakaara ake tetahi i te rawhiti, i karangatia e ia i runga i te tika ki tona waewae? homai ana e ia nga iwi ki tona aroaro, meinga ana ia e ia hei rangatira mo nga kingi; homai ana ratou e ia ano he puehu ki tana hoari, ano he kakau wit i e aia ana, ki tana kopere.
3 Whaia ana ratou e ia, haere ora atu ana ia; ae ra, i te ara kihai i haerea e ona waewae.
4 Na wai oti tenei i mahi, karangaranga ai i nga whakatupuranga mai i te timatanga! Ko ahau, ko Ihowa, ko te timatanga, a kei nga whakamutunga, ko ahau nei.
5 I kite nga motu, a wehi ana, pairi noa iho nga pito o te whenua, whakatata ana, haere mai ana.
6 Uru ana ratou ki te mahi a tona hoa, a tona hoa, me ta ratou ki ki tona tuakana, ki tona teina, Kia maia.
7 Na kei te whakatenatena te kamura i te kaitahu koura, te kaiwhakamaeneene ki te hama, i te tangata e patu ana ki te paepae, ko tana kupu mo te whakapiringa, kei te pai; na whakaukia ana e ia ki te whao, te taea te whakanekeneke.
8 Ko koe, e Iharaira, ko taku pononga, ko Hakopa, ko taku i whiriwhiri ai, ko te uri o taku i aroha ai, o Aperahama;
9 Ko taku ano i tango mai ai i nga pito o te whenua; he mea karanga nei hoki koe naku i roto i ona topito; ko taku kupu hoki ki a koe, Ko koe taku pononga; he mea whiriwhiri koe naku, kahore koe e maka atu e ahau.
10 Kaua e wehi; kei a koe nei hoki ahau; kaua ano e tirotiro; ko ahau nei hoki tou Atua: maku koe e whakakaha, ae ra, maku koe e awhina, ka tautokona ake ano koe e te ringa matau o toku tika.
11 Nana, ka whakama, ka numinumi kau te hunga katoa e riri ana ki a koe: ka rite ki te kahore; ka ngaro te hunga e ngangare ana ki a koe.
12 Ka rapua ratou, ou hoariri, e koe, a e kore e kitea; ko te hunga i whawhai ki a koe, ka rite ki te kahore, ki te moti noa iho.
13 No te mea ko ahau, ko Ihowa, ko tou Atua, kei te pupuri i tou matau, kei te mea ki a koe, Kaua e wehi; ko ahau hei whakauru mou.
14 Kaua e wehi, e te kutukutu, e Hakopa, e nga tangata o Iharaira; maku koe e awhina, e ai ta Ihowa, ta tou kaihoko, ta te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
15 Nana, kua meinga koe e ahau hei patu witi, koi tonu, hou tonu, he whai niho: ka patua e koe nga maunga, a ngotangota noa; ko nga pukepuke, ka meinga e koe kia rite ki te papapa.
16 Rererere ana ratou i a koe, kahikina tonutia atu e te hau, titaritaria ake ratou e te paroro: ko koe ia ka hari ki a Ihowa, ka whakamanamana ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
17 E rapu ana nga ware, nga rawakore i te wai, a kahore kau, he ake o ratou arero i te matewai: ka rongo ahau, a Ihowa, ki ta ratou; e kore ahau, te Atua o Iharaira, e whakarere i a ratou.
18 Ka whakapuaretia e ahau he awa ki nga wahi tiketike, he puna wai i waenganui i nga raorao; ka meinga e ahau te koraha hei harotoroto wai, te whenua maroke hei puputanga wai.
19 Ka whakatokia e ahau te koraha ki te hita, ki te kowhai, ki te ramarama, ki te rakau hinu; ka tu i ahau te kauri ki te titohea, te rimu, ratou tahi ano ko te ake.
20 Kia kite ai ratou, kia mohio ai, kia mahara ai, kia matau ngatahi ai, he mea mahi tenei na te ringa o Ihowa; na te Mea Tapu o Iharaira tenei i hanga.
21 Kawea mai ta koutou totohe, e ai ta Ihowa; whakaputaina mai a koutou kupu kaha, e ai ta te Kingi o Hakopa.
22 Me whakaputa mai e ratou, a me whakaatu mai ki a tatou nga mea meake pono mai: whakaaturia mai e koutou nga mea o te tuatahi, he pehea ranei, kia whakaaroarohia ai e tatou, kia mohiotia ai to ratou mutunga iho; korerotia ranei ki a tatou nga mea e puta a mua.
23 Whakaaturia nga mea e haere ake ana i muri, kia mohio ai matou he atua koutou: tena ra, mahia he pai, he kino ranei, kia wehi ai matou, kia kite ngatahi ai.
24 Nana, no te kahore koutou, ko a koutou mahi no te kahore rawa; he mea whakarihariha te tangata nana koutou i whiriwhiri.
25 Kua oho mai i ahau tetahi i te raki, a kua tae mai ia; no te rerenga mai o te ra tetahi e karanga ana ki toku ingoa: ko tona taenga mai ki nga rangatira, ano e eke ana ki te paru pokepoke, ano ko te kaihanga rihi e takatakahi ana i te paru.
26 Na wai i whakaatu mai i te timatanga, kia mohio ai tatou? na wai i nga wa onamata, mo ta tatou ki ake, He tika tana? ae ra, kihai i whakaaturia e tetahi, ae ra, kihai i korerotia e tetahi, kihai ano tetahi i rongo i a koutou korero.
27 Maku te kupu tuatahi ki Hiona, Nana, tenei ratou: a ka hoatu e ahau ki Hiruharama he kaikawe i te rongo pai.
28 I titiro ano ahau, a kahore he tangata; na i roto i enei katoa kahore he kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro hei whakahoki kupu mai i taku uinga ki a ratou.
29 Nana, ko ratou katoa he horihori kau; he kore noa iho a ratou mahi: ko a ratou whakapakoko whakarewa he hau, he mea tikangakore.
Isaiah 41
New International Version
Isaiah 41
New International Version
The Helper of Israel
41 “Be silent(A) before me, you islands!(B)
Let the nations renew their strength!(C)
Let them come forward(D) and speak;
let us meet together(E) at the place of judgment.
2 “Who has stirred(F) up one from the east,(G)
calling him in righteousness(H) to his service[a]?(I)
He hands nations over to him
and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust(J) with his sword,
to windblown chaff(K) with his bow.(L)
3 He pursues them and moves on unscathed,(M)
by a path his feet have not traveled before.
4 Who has done this and carried it through,
calling(N) forth the generations from the beginning?(O)
I, the Lord—with the first of them
and with the last(P)—I am he.(Q)”
5 The islands(R) have seen it and fear;
the ends of the earth(S) tremble.
They approach and come forward;
6 they help each other
and say to their companions, “Be strong!(T)”
7 The metalworker(U) encourages the goldsmith,(V)
and the one who smooths with the hammer
spurs on the one who strikes the anvil.
One says of the welding, “It is good.”
The other nails down the idol so it will not topple.(W)
8 “But you, Israel, my servant,(X)
Jacob, whom I have chosen,(Y)
you descendants of Abraham(Z) my friend,(AA)
9 I took you from the ends of the earth,(AB)
from its farthest corners I called(AC) you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’;(AD)
I have chosen(AE) you and have not rejected you.
10 So do not fear,(AF) for I am with you;(AG)
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen(AH) you and help(AI) you;
I will uphold you(AJ) with my righteous right hand.(AK)
11 “All who rage(AL) against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;(AM)
those who oppose(AN) you
will be as nothing and perish.(AO)
12 Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.(AP)
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing(AQ) at all.
13 For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand(AR)
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help(AS) you.
14 Do not be afraid,(AT) you worm(AU) Jacob,
little Israel, do not fear,
for I myself will help(AV) you,” declares the Lord,
your Redeemer,(AW) the Holy One(AX) of Israel.
15 “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge,(AY)
new and sharp, with many teeth.
You will thresh the mountains(AZ) and crush them,
and reduce the hills to chaff.(BA)
16 You will winnow(BB) them, the wind will pick them up,
and a gale(BC) will blow them away.(BD)
But you will rejoice(BE) in the Lord
and glory(BF) in the Holy One(BG) of Israel.
17 “The poor and needy search for water,(BH)
but there is none;
their tongues are parched with thirst.(BI)
But I the Lord will answer(BJ) them;
I, the God of Israel, will not forsake(BK) them.
18 I will make rivers flow(BL) on barren heights,
and springs within the valleys.
I will turn the desert(BM) into pools of water,(BN)
and the parched ground into springs.(BO)
19 I will put in the desert(BP)
the cedar and the acacia,(BQ) the myrtle and the olive.
I will set junipers(BR) in the wasteland,
the fir and the cypress(BS) together,(BT)
20 so that people may see and know,(BU)
may consider and understand,(BV)
that the hand(BW) of the Lord has done this,
that the Holy One(BX) of Israel has created(BY) it.
21 “Present your case,(BZ)” says the Lord.
“Set forth your arguments,” says Jacob’s King.(CA)
22 “Tell us, you idols,
what is going to happen.(CB)
Tell us what the former things(CC) were,
so that we may consider them
and know their final outcome.
Or declare to us the things to come,(CD)
23 tell us what the future holds,
so we may know(CE) that you are gods.
Do something, whether good or bad,(CF)
so that we will be dismayed(CG) and filled with fear.
24 But you are less than nothing(CH)
and your works are utterly worthless;(CI)
whoever chooses you is detestable.(CJ)
25 “I have stirred(CK) up one from the north,(CL) and he comes—
one from the rising sun who calls on my name.
He treads(CM) on rulers as if they were mortar,
as if he were a potter treading the clay.
26 Who told of this from the beginning,(CN) so we could know,
or beforehand, so we could say, ‘He was right’?
No one told of this,
no one foretold(CO) it,
no one heard any words(CP) from you.
27 I was the first to tell(CQ) Zion, ‘Look, here they are!’
I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of good news.(CR)
28 I look but there is no one(CS)—
no one among the gods to give counsel,(CT)
no one to give answer(CU) when I ask them.
29 See, they are all false!
Their deeds amount to nothing;(CV)
their images(CW) are but wind(CX) and confusion.
