Isaiah 24
Maori Bible
24 Nana, kua meinga e Ihowa te whenua kia noho tahanga, kia takoto kau, kua porohurihia ake e ia, a kua whakamararatia ona tangata.
2 A ka rite te iwi ki te tohunga, te pononga ki tona ariki, te pononga wahine ki tona rangatira wahine, te tangata i utua ai te taonga ki te tangata i a ia nei te utu, te kaiwhakatarewa mai ki te tangata i te nama, te tangata i te moni whakatupu ki te tangata nana nei i homai ki a ia.
3 Ka moti rawa ta te whenua, pahua rawa: kua korerotia hoki e Ihowa tenei kupu.
4 E tangi ana te whenua, ngohe noa iho; kahakore kau te ao, ngohe noa iho; harotu kau te hunga rarahi o te whenua.
5 Kua poke ano te whenua i raro i ona tangata; kua takahia hoki nga ture, whakaputaia ketia ake e ratou te tikanga i whakatakotoria, whakataka ana e ratou te kawenata onamata.
6 Na reira i kainga ai te whenua e te kanga, kitea iho te hara o ona tangata; na reira i wera ai nga tangata o te whenua, a he torutoru te hunga i toe.
7 E tangi ana te waina hou; kua kahakore te waina; kei te mapu te hunga ngakau koa katoa.
8 Ka mutu te koa o nga timipera, kua kore te nge o te hunga e hari ana; mutu ake te koa o te hapa.
9 Kore ake ta ratou waiata i te mea e inu waina ana; ka kawa te wai kaha ki te hunga e inu ana.
10 Kua pakaru te pa o te pororaru, tutaki rawa nga whare katoa, te ai he tomokanga atu.
11 He karanga kei nga ara, he mea mo te waina; kua pouri katoa te koa, kua riro te harakoa o te whenua.
12 Mahue iho ki te pa ko te ururua; ko te kuwaha, he mea whiu ki te whakangaromanga.
13 Ka penei te hanga i waenganui i te whenua i roto i nga iwi; kei te ruiruinga o te oriwa te rite, kei te hamunga o nga karepe ina mutu te whawhaki.
14 Ka ara to ratou reo, ka waiata ratou; mo te nui hoki o Ihowa, ka hamama mai ratou i te moana.
15 Na whakakororiatia a Ihowa i te rawhiti, te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira, i nga motu o te moana.
16 I te pito rawa o te whenua kua rangona nga waiata e tatou, he kororia ki te tangata tika. Otiia ka ki ake ahau, Kei te whakaheke ahau! kei te whakaheke! aue te mate i ahau! he mahi tinihanga ta te hunga tinihanga; nui atu te tinihanga o te hunga tinihanga.
17 Ko te wehi, ko te rua, ko te rore, kei a koe, e te tangata o te whenua.
18 Na, ko te tangata e rere mai i te ngangau o te wehi, ka taka ki te rua; a ko te tangata e puta ake ana i roto i te rua, ka mau i te rore; kua puare hoki nga matapihi o runga, a e ru ana nga turanga o te whenua.
19 Ngakongako kau te whenua, memeha kau noa iho te whenua, ngaueue kau te whenua.
20 Hurorirori kau te whenua ano he haurangi, nekenekehia ana, me te mea he whare tira; ka taimaha iho hoki tona he ki runga ki a ia, ka hinga, heoi ano ona aranga ake.
21 I taua ra ka whiua e Ihowa te ope o te hunga kua neke ake, me nga kingi o te whenua i runga i te whenua.
22 A ka huihuia ratou, ka peratia me nga herehere e huihuia ana ki te rua, ka tutakina hoki ki te whare herehere, a ka maha nga ra ka tirohia iho ratou.
23 Ko reira te marama numinumi kau ai, ka whakama ano hoki te ra; ka kingi hoki a Ihowa o nga mano ki Maunga Hiona, ki Hiurharama, ki te aroaro ano o ana kaumatua i runga i te kororia.
Isaiah 24
New International Version
Isaiah 24
New International Version
The Lord’s Devastation of the Earth
24 See, the Lord is going to lay waste the earth(A)
and devastate(B) it;
he will ruin its face
and scatter(C) its inhabitants—
2 it will be the same
for priest as for people,(D)
for the master as for his servant,
for the mistress as for her servant,
for seller as for buyer,(E)
for borrower as for lender,
for debtor as for creditor.(F)
3 The earth will be completely laid waste(G)
and totally plundered.(H)
The Lord has spoken(I) this word.
4 The earth dries up(J) and withers,(K)
the world languishes and withers,
the heavens(L) languish with the earth.(M)
5 The earth is defiled(N) by its people;
they have disobeyed(O) the laws,
violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.(P)
6 Therefore a curse(Q) consumes the earth;
its people must bear their guilt.
Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,(R)
and very few are left.
7 The new wine dries up(S) and the vine withers;(T)
all the merrymakers groan.(U)
8 The joyful timbrels(V) are stilled,
the noise(W) of the revelers(X) has stopped,
the joyful harp(Y) is silent.(Z)
9 No longer do they drink wine(AA) with a song;
the beer is bitter(AB) to its drinkers.
10 The ruined city(AC) lies desolate;(AD)
the entrance to every house is barred.
11 In the streets they cry out(AE) for wine;(AF)
all joy turns to gloom,(AG)
all joyful sounds are banished from the earth.
12 The city is left in ruins,(AH)
its gate(AI) is battered to pieces.
13 So will it be on the earth
and among the nations,
as when an olive tree is beaten,(AJ)
or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.(AK)
14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy;(AL)
from the west(AM) they acclaim the Lord’s majesty.
15 Therefore in the east(AN) give glory(AO) to the Lord;
exalt(AP) the name(AQ) of the Lord, the God of Israel,
in the islands(AR) of the sea.
16 From the ends of the earth(AS) we hear singing:(AT)
“Glory(AU) to the Righteous One.”(AV)
But I said, “I waste away, I waste away!(AW)
Woe(AX) to me!
The treacherous(AY) betray!
With treachery the treacherous betray!(AZ)”
17 Terror(BA) and pit and snare(BB) await you,
people of the earth.(BC)
18 Whoever flees(BD) at the sound of terror
will fall into a pit;(BE)
whoever climbs out of the pit
will be caught in a snare.(BF)
The floodgates of the heavens(BG) are opened,
the foundations of the earth shake.(BH)
19 The earth is broken up,(BI)
the earth is split asunder,(BJ)
the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth reels like a drunkard,(BK)
it sways like a hut(BL) in the wind;
so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion(BM)
that it falls(BN)—never to rise again.(BO)
21 In that day(BP) the Lord will punish(BQ)
the powers(BR) in the heavens above
and the kings(BS) on the earth below.
22 They will be herded together
like prisoners(BT) bound in a dungeon;(BU)
they will be shut up in prison
and be punished[a] after many days.(BV)
23 The moon will be dismayed,
the sun(BW) ashamed;
for the Lord Almighty will reign(BX)
on Mount Zion(BY) and in Jerusalem,
and before its elders—with great glory.(BZ)
