Isaiah 22

Maori Bible

22 Ko te poropititanga mo te raorao o te whakakitenga. He aha ra nou, i piki katoa ai koe ki nga tuanui?

²E koe, e ki tonu nei koe i te nge, he pa turituri, he pa koa: ko ou tangata i patua ehara i te mea patu na te hoari, ehara i te hunga i mate i te whawhai.

³Rere ngatahi ana ou rangatira katoa, herea ana ratou e nga kaikopere, te hunga katoa i kitea i roto i a koe, herea ngatahitia ana ratou, te hunga i rere mai i tawhiti.

⁴Koia ahau i mea ai, Kati te titiro ki ahau, ka nui toku tangi; kaua e tohe ki te whakamarie i ahau mo te pahuatanga o te tamahine a toku iwi.

⁵He ra hoki tenei no te raruraru, no te takahanga, no te pokaikaha, he mea na te Ariki, na Ihowa o nga mano, i te raorao o te whakakitenga; he pakaruhanga i nga taiepa, he karangatanga ki nga maunga.

⁶Ko ta Erama, he mau i te papa pere, me nga hariata tangata me nga kaieke hoiho; ko ta Kiri he whakaputa mai i te whakangungu rakau ki waho.

⁷Na kapi ana ou raorao whakapaipai i te hariata, tu ana nga rarangi o nga kaieke hoiho ki te kuwaha.

⁸Na mauria atu ana e ia te hipoki o Hura; a ka titiro koe i taua ra ki nga patu i roto i te whare o te ngahere.

⁹A ka kite koutou i nga pakaru o te pa o Rawiri, he maha; ka huia hoki e koutou nga wai o te poka o raro.

¹⁰A taua ana e koutou nga whare o Hiruharama; wawahia ana e koutou nga whare hei hanga mo te taiepa.

¹¹Ka hanga ano e koutou he awa ki waenganui i nga taiepa e rua mo nga wai o te poka tawhito; kahore ia o koutou whakaaro ki te kaimahi o tena mea, kahore hoki e titiro ki tona kaihanga o mua noa atu.

¹²Heoi ko te karangatanga a te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, i taua ra ki te tangi, ki te aue, ki te moremore, ki te whitiki i te kakahu taratara:

¹³Na ko te koa, ko te hari, ko te patu kau, ko te patu hipi, ko te kai kikokiko, ko te inu waina; kia kai tatou, kia inu; apopo hoki tatou mate ai.

¹⁴Na ka whakaatu a Ihowa o nga mano ki oku taringa, He pono, e kore rawa tenei he o koutou e murua, a mate noa koutou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano.

¹⁵Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa o nga mano, Haere mai, haere ki tenei kaitiaki o nga moni, ki a Hepena, ki te rangatira o te whare, mea atu,

¹⁶He aha tau i konei? ko wai hoki tau i konei, i haua ai e koe he tanumanga mou ki konei? e hahau ana koa he tanumanga mona i te wahi tiketike, e tarai ana he nohoanga mona ki te kamaka!

¹⁷Nana, ka maka kinotia atu koe e Ihowa, ka peratia i ta te tangata kaha; ae ra, ka kopakina rawatia koe e ia.

¹⁸He pono ka tahuri ia, ka whiua koe, ano he mea porotaka ki tetahi whenua nui: hei reira koe mate ai, ki reira ano hoki nga hariata o tou kororia, e koe, e te whakama o te whare o tou ariki.

¹⁹Ka peia atu hoki koe e ahau i tou turanga, ka turakina iho ano koe e ia i tou wahi.

²⁰I taua ra ka karangatia e ahau taku pononga, e Eriakimi tama a Hirikia.

²¹Ka whakakahuria ano ia e ahau ki tou kakahu, ka whakakahangia hoki ki tou whitiki, ka hoatu ano tou kawanatanga ki tona ringa: a hei matua ia ki nga tangata o Hiruharama, ki te whare ano o Hura.

²²Ka waiho ano e ahau te ki o te whare o Rawiri ki runga ki tona pokohiwi; na mana e whakatuwhera, a kahore he tangata hei tutaki, mana e tutaki a kahore he tangata hei whakatuwhera.

²³Ka titia hoki ia e ahau ano he titi ki te wahi mau, a hei torona kororia ia ki te whare o tona papa.

²⁴Ka whakarihia ano e ratou ki runga ki a ia te kororia katoa o te whare o tona papa, nga uri, nga whanau, nga oko ririki katoa, ara nga oko hei peihana, me nga oko katoa ano hei haka.

²⁵I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka taui te titi i titia nei ki te wahi mau, ka tapahia, ka marere ki raro; ka motuhia atu ano te mea e iri ana i runga: na Ihowa hoki te kupu.

Isaiah 22

New International Version

A Prophecy About Jerusalem

22 A prophecy^(A) against the Valley^(B) of Vision:^(C)

What troubles you now,
    that you have all gone up on the roofs,^(D)
²you town so full of commotion,
    you city of tumult^(E) and revelry?^(F)
Your slain^(G) were not killed by the sword,^(H)
    nor did they die in battle.
³All your leaders have fled^(I) together;
    they have been captured^(J) without using the bow.
All you who were caught were taken prisoner together,
    having fled while the enemy was still far away.
⁴Therefore I said, “Turn away from me;
    let me weep^(K) bitterly.
Do not try to console me
    over the destruction of my people.”^(L)

⁵The Lord, the Lord Almighty, has a day^(M)
    of tumult and trampling^(N) and terror^(O)
    in the Valley of Vision,^(P)
a day of battering down walls^(Q)
    and of crying out to the mountains.
⁶Elam^(R) takes up the quiver,^(S)
    with her charioteers and horses;
    Kir^(T) uncovers the shield.
⁷Your choicest valleys^(U) are full of chariots,
    and horsemen are posted at the city gates.^(V)

⁸The Lord stripped away the defenses of Judah,
    and you looked in that day^(W)
    to the weapons^(X) in the Palace of the Forest.^(Y)
⁹You saw that the walls of the City of David
    were broken through^(Z) in many places;
you stored up water
    in the Lower Pool.^(AA)
¹⁰You counted the buildings in Jerusalem
    and tore down houses^(AB) to strengthen the wall.^(AC)
¹¹You built a reservoir between the two walls^(AD)
    for the water of the Old Pool,^(AE)
but you did not look to the One who made it,
    or have regard^(AF) for the One who planned^(AG) it long ago.

¹²The Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    called you on that day^(AH)
to weep^(AI) and to wail,
    to tear out your hair^(AJ) and put on sackcloth.^(AK)
¹³But see, there is joy and revelry,^(AL)
    slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep,
    eating of meat and drinking of wine!^(AM)
“Let us eat and drink,” you say,
    “for tomorrow we die!”^(AN)

¹⁴The Lord Almighty has revealed this in my hearing:^(AO) “Till your dying day this sin will not be atoned^(AP) for,” says the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

¹⁵This is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:

“Go, say to this steward,
    to Shebna^(AQ) the palace^(AR) administrator:^(AS)
¹⁶What are you doing here and who gave you permission
    to cut out a grave^(AT) for yourself^(AU) here,
hewing your grave on the height
    and chiseling your resting place in the rock?

¹⁷“Beware, the Lord is about to take firm hold of you
    and hurl^(AV) you away, you mighty man.
¹⁸He will roll you up tightly like a ball
    and throw^(AW) you into a large country.
There you will die
    and there the chariots^(AX) you were so proud of
    will become a disgrace to your master’s house.
¹⁹I will depose you from your office,
    and you will be ousted^(AY) from your position.^(AZ)

²⁰“In that day^(BA) I will summon my servant,^(BB) Eliakim^(BC) son of Hilkiah. ²¹I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash^(BD) around him and hand your authority^(BE) over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the people of Judah. ²²I will place on his shoulder^(BF) the key^(BG) to the house of David;^(BH) what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.^(BI) ²³I will drive him like a peg^(BJ) into a firm place;^(BK) he will become a seat^[a] of honor^(BL) for the house of his father. ²⁴All the glory of his family will hang on him: its offspring and offshoots—all its lesser vessels, from the bowls to all the jars.

²⁵“In that day,^(BM)” declares the Lord Almighty, “the peg^(BN) driven into the firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and will fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut down.” The Lord has spoken.^(BO)
