Isaiah 2
Maori Bible
2 Ko te kupu i kitea e Ihaia tama a Amoho mo Hura raua ko Hiurharama.
2 Na tenei ake, kei nga ra whakamutunga, ka whakapumautia te maunga i to Ihowa whare ki te tihi o nga maunga, ka whakanekehia ake ano ki runga i nga pukepuke; a ka rere nga iwi katoa ki reira.
3 Ka haere hoki nga iwi maha, ka mea, Haere mai, tatou ka haere ki runga ki te maunga o Ihowa, ki te whare o te Atua o Hakopa: ka whakaakona tatou e ia ki ana ara; ka haere hoki tatou i ana huarahi; no te mea ka puta mai te ture i Hiona, me te kupu a Ihowa i Hiruharama.
4 Ka whakarite hoki ia i nga whakawa a nga iwi, ka riria ano e ia nga iwi maha: na ka patupatua e ratou a ratou hoari hei hea parau, a ratou tao hei mea tapahi manga; e kore tetahi iwi e hapai hoari ki tetahi iwi, mutu pu ta ratou ako ki te whawhai.
5 E te whare o Hakopa, haere mai, tena tatou ka haere i to Ihowa marama.
6 Kua whakarerea nei e koe tau iwi, te whare o Hakopa, no te mea kei te ki ratou i nga tikanga mai no te rawhiti, a he tohunga maori ratou, he pera me nga Pirihitini, e papaki ringa ana hoki ratou me nga tamariki a rau o iwi.
7 Ki tonu hoki to ratou whenua i te hiriwa, i te koura, a kahore he mutunga o o ratou taonga: kapi tonu hoki to ratou whenua i te hoiho, a kahore he mutunga o a ratou hariata.
8 Ko to ratou whenua ki tonu i te whakapakoko; e koropiko ana ratou ki te mahi a o ratou ringa, ki ta o ratou maihao i hanga ai.
9 A e whakapikoa ana te tangata ware, e whakaititia ana te tangata nui; mo reira kaua ratou e tohungia.
10 E tomo ki roto ki te kamaka, e huna ki roto ki te puehu, i te wehi ki a Ihowa, i te kororia o tona nui.
11 Ka whakaititia nga kanohi whakapehapeha o te tangata, ka whakapikoa iho ano hoki te whakakae o nga tangata, a ko Ihowa anake e whakanuia i taua ra.
12 No te mea ka tae iho he ra no Ihowa o nga mano ki te hunga whakapehapeha, ki te hunga whakakae katoa, ki te hunga katoa kua neke ake; a ka whakaititia iho:
13 Ki nga hita katoa ano o Repanona kua tiketike, kua neke ake, ki nga oki katoa ano o Pahana;
14 Ki nga maunga tiketike katoa, ki nga pukepuke katoa kua purero ki runga:
15 Ki nga pourewa tiketike katoa, ki nga taiepa kaha katoa ano hoki,
16 Ki nga kaipuke katoa o Tarahihi, ki nga whakaahua katoa e minaminatia ana.
17 A e whakapikoa iho to te tangata whakapehapeha, e whakaititia iho ana ano hoki te whakakake o nga tangata, ko Ihowa anake e whakanuia i taua ra.
18 A ka ngaro whakarere nga whakapakoko,
19 A ka haere nga tangata ki nga ana o nga kamaka, ki nga rua o te whenua, i te wehi ki a Ihowa, i te kororia o tona nui, ina whakatika ia ki te rure kaha i te whenua.
20 A taua ra ka akiritia atu e te tangata ana whakapakoko hiriwa me ana whakapakoko koura i hanga e ratou hei koropikotanga mana, ki nga kiore, ki nga pekapeka;
21 Haere ai ki nga ana o nga kohatu, ki nga kapiti o nga kamaka, i te wehi ki a Ihowa, i te kororia o tona nui, ina whakatika ia ki te rurerure i te whenua.
22 Kati ta koutou mea ki te tangata kei ona pongaponga nei tona manawa; kia pehea hoki te whakaaro ki a ia?
Isaiah 2
New King James Version
The Future House of God(A)
2 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Now (B)it shall come to pass (C)in the latter days
(D)That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
3 Many people shall come and say,
(E)“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
(F)For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He shall judge between the nations,
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning [a]hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.
The Day of the Lord
5 O house of Jacob, come and let us (G)walk
In the light of the Lord.
6 For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled (H)with eastern ways;
They are (I)soothsayers like the Philistines,
(J)And they [b]are pleased with the children of foreigners.
7 (K)Their land is also full of silver and gold,
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land is also full of horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.
8 (L)Their land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
9 People bow down,
And each man humbles himself;
Therefore do not forgive them.
10 (M)Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty.
11 The [c]lofty looks of man shall be (N)humbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the Lord alone shall be exalted (O)in that day.
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts
Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,
Upon everything lifted up—
And it shall be brought low—
13 Upon all (P)the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 (Q)Upon all the high mountains,
And upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 Upon every high tower,
And upon every fortified wall;
16 (R)Upon all the ships of Tarshish,
And upon all the beautiful sloops.
17 The [d]loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
18 But the idols [e]He shall utterly abolish.
19 They shall go into the (S)holes of the rocks,
And into the caves of the [f]earth,
(T)From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises (U)to shake the earth mightily.
20 In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver
And his idols of gold,
Which they made, each for himself to worship,
To the moles and bats,
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks,
And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
22 (V)Sever[g] yourselves from such a man,
Whose (W)breath is in his nostrils;
For [h]of what account is he?
