Isaiah 7-8
Maori Bible
7 Na i nga ra o Ahata tama a Iotama, tama a Utia, kingi o Hura ka haere mai a Retini kingi o Hiria raua ko Peka tama a Remaria kingi o Iharaira ki Hiruharama tatau ai ki reira; kihai ia a reira i taea e raua.
2 A ka korerotia ki te whare o Rawiri, ko Hiria kei te whakapiri ki a Eparaima. Na ka kapakapa tona ngakau, me te ngakau o tona iwi, ano ko nga rakau o te ngahere e ngarue ana i te hau.
3 Katahi a Ihowa ka mea ki a Ihaia, Tena, haere ki te whakatau i a Ahata, korua ko tau tama, ko Hearatahupu ki te pito o te awakeri o te puna wai i runga, ki te ara i te mara a te kaihoroi kakahu;
4 Ka mea ki a ia, Kia mahara, kia ata noho; kaua e wehi, kaua hoki tou ngakau e pawera ki nga pito e rua o enei ngotungotu e paowa nei, ki te riri nui o Retini ratou ko Hiria, o te tama hoki a Remaria.
5 Na kua whakaaroa nei e Hiria, ratou ko Eparaima, ko te tama a Remaria, he kino mou, kua mea nei ratou,
6 Tatou ka haere ki a Hura whakatupu kino ai i a ia, a ka wahi mai ai tatou i tetahi wahi ma tatou, ka whakakingi ai hoki i tetahi kingi i waenganui i a ia, ara i te tama a Tapeara:
7 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, E kore e tu, e kore ano e taea.
8 Ko te upoko hoki o Hiria ko Ramahiku, a ko te upoko o Ramahiku ko Retini: na i enei tau e ono tekau ma rima ka pakarukaru a Eparaima, kore ake tena iwi.
9 Na ko te upoko o Eparaima ko Hamaria, ko te upoko hoki o Hamaria ko te tama a Remaria. Ki te kore koutou e whakapono, he pono e kore ta koutou e u.
10 A i korero ano a Ihowa ki a Ahata, i mea,
11 Inoia tetahi tohu mau i a Ihowa, i tou Atua; inoia he mea i te hohonu, i te wahi tiketike ranei i runga.
12 Ano ra ko Ahata, E kore ahau e inoi, e kore ano e whakamatautau i a Ihowa.
13 Na ka ki tera, Tena, whakarongo e te whare o Rawiri; he mea iti ianei ki a koutou kia hoha nga tangata i ta koutou, i mea ai koutou kia hoha ano hoki toku Atua?
14 Mo reira ma te Ariki ano e hoatu he tohu ki a koutou. Nana, ka hapu he wahine, ka whanau hoki he tama, a ka huaina e ia tona ingoa ko Emanuera.
15 He pata, he honi, hei kai mana, ina mohio ia ki te paopao ki te kino, ki te whiriwhiri i te pai.
16 Mohio rawa hoki te tamaiti ki te paopao ki te kino, ki te whiriwhiri i te pai, ka mahue te whenua e whakariharihangia nei e koe ona kingi e rua.
17 Tera e kawea mai e Ihowa ki a koe, ki tou iwi hoki, a ki te whare o tou papa, he ra kihai nei i tae mai, no te ra i mawehe ai a Eparaima i roto i a Hura; ara te kingi o Ahiria.
18 Na i taua ra ka whiowhio a Ihowa ki te ngaro i te wahi whakamutunga mai o nga awa o Ihipa, ki te pi ano hoki i te whenua o Ahiria.
19 A ka rere mai ratou, ka tau katoa ki nga awaawa ka ururuatia nei, ki nga rua o nga kamaka, ki nga tataramoa katoa, ki nga wahi tarutaru katoa.
20 I taua ra ka heua e te Ariki ki te heu i utua, ki nga wahi i tera taha o te awa, ara ki te kingi o Ahiria, te mahunga me te huruhuru o nga waewae: ka pau ano hoki i a ia te pahau.
21 Na i taua ra ka atawhaitia e te tangata he kuao kau me nga hipi e rua;
22 A he nui te waiu e tukua e ratou, no ka kai pata ia: ka kainga hoki he pata, he honi e te hunga katoa ka mahue ki te whenua.
23 A i taua ra, ko nga wahi katoa i reira nei nga waina kotahi mano, ko te utu kotahi mano hiriwa, ka waiho era mo nga tataramoa, mo nga tumatakuru.
24 He pere, he kopere a nga tangata ina haere mai ki reira; ka riro katoa hoki te whenua i te tataramoa, i te tumatakuru.
25 Na ko nga puke katoa e ngakia ana ki te karaone, e kore koe e tae ki reira i te wehi o te tataramoa, o te tumatakuru; engari he wahi tera e tukua ai nga kau, e takahi ai nga hipi.
8 I ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Tikina atu tetahi papa nui mau, ka tuhituhi ki runga, ki te pene a te tangata, Mo Mahereharara Hapaha;
2 Na maku e mea etahi kaiwhakaatu pono hei whakaatu mo taku, ara a Uria tohunga raua ko Tekaria tama a Teperekia.
3 Na ko taku haerenga atu ki te poropiti wahine, kua hapu, whanau ake he tama. Katahi a Ihowa ka ki mai ki ahau, Huaina tona ingoa ko Mahereharara Hapaha.
4 No te mea mohio rawa ake te tamaiti ki te karanga, E toku papa, e toku whaea, ka riro nga taonga o Ramahiku, me nga mea parakete o Hamaria i te aroaro o te kingi o Ahiria.
5 I korero mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea.
6 Na kua paopao nei tenei iwi ki nga wai ata rere o Hiroa, a e koa ana ki a Retini raua ko te tama a Remaria;
7 Na, tenei te takina mai nei e te Ariki nga wai o te awa ki runga ki a ratou, he kaha, he nui, ara te kingi o Ahiria, me tona kororia katoa: ka ngawha ano ia ki runga i ona pareparenga katoa, ka pari ano hoki ki runga i ona tahatika katoa:
8 Ka rere tonu atu ia ki a Hura; ka puhake atu, a ka puta; ka pa ki te kaki rawa; a ka kapi i te rohanga o ona parirau te whanuitanga o tou whenua, e Emanuera.
9 E anga, ka whakatupu raruraru, e nga iwi, a ka pakaru rikiriki koutou; kia whai taringa hoki, e te hunga katoa o nga whenua i tawhiti; whitiki, a ka pakaru rikiriki koutou; whitiki, a ka mongamonga noa koutou.
10 Whakatakotoria he whakaaro, a ka taka noa iho; korerotia te kupu, e kore ano e tu; kei a matou nei hoki te Atua.
11 Ko ta Ihowa korero hoki tenei ki ahau i runga i te ringa kaha, me tana whakaako ano i ahau kia kaua e haere i te ara o tenei iwi; ka ki mai,
12 Kaua e ki, He he te whakatakotoria nei i nga mea katoa e ki atu ai tenei iwi, He he te whakatakotoria nei; kaua hoki e wehi i ta ratou e wehi ai, kaua ano e pawera ki reira.
13 Ko Ihowa o nga mano, ko ia ta koutou e whakatapu ai; ko ia hei wehi ma koutou, ko ia hei pawera ma koutou.
14 A ka ai ia hei wahi tapu; hei kohatu tutukitanga waewae ia, hei kamaka e hinga ai nga whare e rua o Iharaira, hei rore ano hoki, hei mahanga ki nga tangata o Hiruharama.
15 He tokomaha ano hoki o ratou e tutuki te waewae ki reira, e hinga, pakaru iho, e mahangatia, mau tonu iho.
16 Takaia te whakaaturanga, hiritia te ture i roto i aku akonga.
17 A ka tatari ahau ki a Ihowa e hunga nei i tona mata ki te whare o Hakopa, ka tumanako atu ki a ia.
18 Nana, ko matou ko nga tamariki i homai nei e Ihowa ki ahau hei tohu, hei mea whakamiharo i roto i a Iharaira, he mea na Ihowa o nga mano e noho nei i Maunga Hiona.
19 Na, ki te mea mai ratou ki a koutou, Me rapu tikanga koutou i te hunga he atua maori nei o ratou, i nga matakite, i te hunga e kowhetewhete ana, e ngunguru ana: kaua ianei tetahi iwi e rapu tikanga ki to ratou Atua? me rapu atu ranei ratou ki ng a mea mate mo nga mea ora?
20 Ki te ture, ki te whakaaturanga! ki te kore e rite ta ratou korero ki tenei kupu, ina, kahore he ata mo ratou.
21 A ka tika ano ratou na reira, ruha noa iho, e mate ana i te kai: i a ratou ka mate nei i te kai, ka tupu te riri, a ka kanga e ratou to ratou kingi, me to ratou Atua, a ka tahuri o ratou kanohi whakarunga:
22 A ka titiro ratou ki te whenua, na, he whakapawera, he pouri, ko te poruru o te mamae; a ka aia atu ratou ki roto ki te pouri kerekere.

Isaiah 7-8
New International Version
The Sign of Immanuel
7 When Ahaz(A) son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, King Rezin(B) of Aram(C) and Pekah(D) son of Remaliah(E) king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem, but they could not overpower it.
2 Now the house of David(F) was told, “Aram has allied itself with[a] Ephraim(G)”; so the hearts of Ahaz and his people were shaken,(H) as the trees of the forest are shaken by the wind.
3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out, you and your son Shear-Jashub,[b](I) to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field.(J) 4 Say to him, ‘Be careful, keep calm(K) and don’t be afraid.(L) Do not lose heart(M) because of these two smoldering stubs(N) of firewood—because of the fierce anger(O) of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.(P) 5 Aram, Ephraim and Remaliah’s(Q) son have plotted(R) your ruin, saying, 6 “Let us invade Judah; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeel king over it.” 7 Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says:(S)
“‘It will not take place,
it will not happen,(T)
8 for the head of Aram is Damascus,(U)
and the head of Damascus is only Rezin.(V)
Within sixty-five years
Ephraim will be too shattered(W) to be a people.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria,(X)
and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah’s son.
If you do not stand(Y) firm in your faith,(Z)
you will not stand at all.’”(AA)
10 Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, 11 “Ask the Lord your God for a sign,(AB) whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.(AC)”
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test.(AD)”
13 Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David!(AE) Is it not enough(AF) to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience(AG) of my God(AH) also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you[c] a sign:(AI) The virgin[d](AJ) will conceive and give birth to a son,(AK) and[e] will call him Immanuel.[f](AL) 15 He will be eating curds(AM) and honey(AN) when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, 16 for before the boy knows(AO) enough to reject the wrong and choose the right,(AP) the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.(AQ) 17 The Lord will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away(AR) from Judah—he will bring the king of Assyria.(AS)”
Assyria, the Lord’s Instrument
18 In that day(AT) the Lord will whistle(AU) for flies from the Nile delta in Egypt and for bees from the land of Assyria.(AV) 19 They will all come and settle in the steep ravines and in the crevices(AW) in the rocks, on all the thornbushes(AX) and at all the water holes. 20 In that day(AY) the Lord will use(AZ) a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River(BA)—the king of Assyria(BB)—to shave your head and private parts, and to cut off your beard(BC) also.(BD) 21 In that day,(BE) a person will keep alive a young cow and two goats.(BF) 22 And because of the abundance of the milk they give, there will be curds to eat. All who remain in the land will eat curds(BG) and honey.(BH) 23 In that day,(BI) in every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels,[g](BJ) there will be only briers and thorns.(BK) 24 Hunters will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers(BL) and thorns. 25 As for all the hills(BM) once cultivated by the hoe, you will no longer go there for fear of the briers and thorns;(BN) they will become places where cattle are turned loose and where sheep run.(BO)
Isaiah and His Children as Signs
8 The Lord said to me, “Take a large scroll(BP) and write on it with an ordinary pen: Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.”[h](BQ) 2 So I called in Uriah(BR) the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah as reliable witnesses(BS) for me. 3 Then I made love to the prophetess,(BT) and she conceived and gave birth to a son.(BU) And the Lord said to me, “Name him Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.(BV) 4 For before the boy knows(BW) how to say ‘My father’ or ‘My mother,’ the wealth of Damascus(BX) and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.(BY)”
5 The Lord spoke to me again:
6 “Because this people has rejected(BZ)
the gently flowing waters of Shiloah(CA)
and rejoices over Rezin
and the son of Remaliah,(CB)
7 therefore the Lord is about to bring against them
the mighty floodwaters(CC) of the Euphrates—
the king of Assyria(CD) with all his pomp.(CE)
It will overflow all its channels,
run over all its banks(CF)
8 and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it,(CG)
passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings(CH) will cover the breadth of your land,
Immanuel[i]!”(CI)
9 Raise the war cry,[j](CJ) you nations, and be shattered!(CK)
Listen, all you distant lands.
Prepare(CL) for battle, and be shattered!
Prepare for battle, and be shattered!
10 Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted;(CM)
propose your plan, but it will not stand,(CN)
for God is with us.[k](CO)
11 This is what the Lord says to me with his strong hand upon me,(CP) warning me not to follow(CQ) the way of this people:
12 “Do not call conspiracy(CR)
everything this people calls a conspiracy;
do not fear what they fear,(CS)
and do not dread it.(CT)
13 The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy,(CU)
he is the one you are to fear,(CV)
he is the one you are to dread.(CW)
14 He will be a holy place;(CX)
for both Israel and Judah he will be
a stone(CY) that causes people to stumble(CZ)
and a rock that makes them fall.(DA)
And for the people of Jerusalem he will be
a trap and a snare.(DB)
15 Many of them will stumble;(DC)
they will fall and be broken,
they will be snared and captured.”
16 Bind up this testimony of warning(DD)
and seal(DE) up God’s instruction among my disciples.
17 I will wait(DF) for the Lord,
who is hiding(DG) his face from the descendants of Jacob.
I will put my trust in him.(DH)
18 Here am I, and the children the Lord has given me.(DI) We are signs(DJ) and symbols(DK) in Israel from the Lord Almighty, who dwells on Mount Zion.(DL)
The Darkness Turns to Light
19 When someone tells you to consult(DM) mediums and spiritists,(DN) who whisper and mutter,(DO) should not a people inquire(DP) of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 Consult God’s instruction(DQ) and the testimony of warning.(DR) If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light(DS) of dawn. 21 Distressed and hungry,(DT) they will roam through the land;(DU) when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse(DV) their king and their God. 22 Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom,(DW) and they will be thrust into utter darkness.(DX)

2 Me koutou ano nana i whakaora, i te mea he tupapaku i nga he, i nga hara,
2 I haereerea ra e koutou i mua i runga i ta tenei ao tikanga, i ta te rangatira o te kaha o nga kapua, o te wairua e mahi nei inaianei i roto i nga tama a te tutu.
3 Ara i era hoa o tatou katoa i mua, i a tatou e noho ana i runga i nga hiahia o to tatou kikokiko, e mahi ana i nga mea e paingia ana e te kikokiko, e te whakaaro, i te maoritanga hoki he tamariki na te riri, he pera me era atu.
4 Ko ta te Atua ia tenei, ranea rawa hoki tana mahi tohu, nui atu tona aroha i arohaina mai ai tatou e ia,
5 I te mea he tupapaku tatou i nga he, whakaorangia ngatahitia ana tatou e ia me te Karaiti, he aroha noa i whakaorangia ai koutou;
6 A whakaarahia ngatahitia ana e ia, whakanohoia ngatahitia ana ki nga wahi o te rangi i roto i a Karaiti Ihu:
7 Kia whakakite ai e ia i nga wa e haere ake nei te hira o te taonga o tona aroha noa, i a ia ka manaaki i a tatou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.
8 Na te aroha noa hoki koutou i whakaorangia ai i runga i te whakapono; ehara ano hoki tenei i te mea no koutou: he mea homai noa na te Atua:
9 Ehara i nga mahi, kei whakamanamana te tangata.
10 He mahinga hoki tatou nana, he mea hanga i roto i a Karaiti Ihu mo nga mahi pai i whakaritea e te Atua i mua hei haereerenga mo tatou.
11 Na, kia mahara he tauiwi koutou i mua no te wahi ki te kikokiko, e kiia ana hoki ko te Kotingakore e tenei e kiia nei ko te Kotinga, ara to te kikokiko, he mea na te ringa;
12 I taua wa he mea motu ke atu koutou i a te Karaiti, ehara i te tangata whenua no Iharaira, he tangata ke ki nga kawenata o te mea i whakaaria mai i mua, kahore he tumanakotanga atu, he hunga Atuakore i te ao.
13 Na, inaianei i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ko koutou, ko te hunga i tawhiti i mua, kua meinga e nga toto o te Karaiti kia tata.
14 Ko ia hoki to tatou maunga rongo, nana i mea nga mea e rua kia kotahi, whakahoroa iho e ia te patu e arai ana i waenga;
15 Whakakahoretia ana hoki e ia ki tona kikokiko te mauahara, ara te ture i nga kupu ako, i nga tikanga; kia hanga ai i roto i a ia te tokorua hei tangata kotahi, hei tangata hou, kia mau ai te rongo i a ia;
16 Kia houhia ai ano hoki e ia te rongo a te tokorua ki te Atua i roto i te tinana kotahi, he meatanga na te ripeka, ma reira hoki e whakamate te mauahara;
17 A haere mai ana ia, kauwhau ana i te maunga rongo ki a koutou i tawhiti, ki te hunga hoki e tata ana.
18 Nana hoki tatou, te tokorua nei, i whai tatanga atu ai i roto i te Wairua kotahi ki te Matua.
19 Na reira ehara koutou i te tangata ke, i te manene ranei; engari he tangata whenua koutou tahi ko te hunga tapu, no te whare hoki o te Atua;
20 He mea hanga ki runga ki te turanga o nga apotoro ratou ko nga poropiti, ko Ihu Karaiti ano hei tino kamaka mo te kokonga;
21 Kei roto nei i a ia tena whare, tena whare, he mea ata tatai marie, ka tupu hei whare tapu i roto i te Ariki;
22 Me koutou ano e hanga tahitia ana i roto i a ia, hei nohoanga mo te Atua, he mea na te Wairua.

Made Alive in Christ
2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,(A) 2 in which you used to live(B) when you followed the ways of this world(C) and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air,(D) the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.(E) 3 All of us also lived among them at one time,(F) gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a](G) and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us,(H) God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions(I)—it is by grace you have been saved.(J) 6 And God raised us up with Christ(K) and seated us with him(L) in the heavenly realms(M) in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,(N) expressed in his kindness(O) to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace(P) you have been saved,(Q) through faith(R)—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works,(S) so that no one can boast.(T) 10 For we are God’s handiwork,(U) created(V) in Christ Jesus to do good works,(W) which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ
11 Therefore, remember that formerly(X) you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)(Y)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners(Z) to the covenants of the promise,(AA) without hope(AB) and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once(AC) were far away have been brought near(AD) by the blood of Christ.(AE)
14 For he himself is our peace,(AF) who has made the two groups one(AG) and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh(AH) the law with its commands and regulations.(AI) His purpose was to create in himself one(AJ) new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross,(AK) by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace(AL) to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.(AM) 18 For through him we both have access(AN) to the Father(AO) by one Spirit.(AP)
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers,(AQ) but fellow citizens(AR) with God’s people and also members of his household,(AS) 20 built(AT) on the foundation(AU) of the apostles and prophets,(AV) with Christ Jesus himself(AW) as the chief cornerstone.(AX) 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple(AY) in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.(AZ)
