Isaiah 45
Maori Bible
45 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki tana i whakawahi ai, ki a Hairuha, he mea pupuri nei naku tona ringa matau, kia pehia ai e ia nga iwi ki raro i a ia; maku ano e wewete to nga hope o nga kingi; ko nga tatau ka whakapuaretia ki tona aroaro; e kore ano nga kuwaha e tutakina.
2 Ko ahau e haere i mua i a koe, ki te whakatikatika i nga wahi tapokopoko: ko nga tatau parahi ka pakaru i ahau; ka tapahia ano e ahau nga tutaki rino.
3 Ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe nga taonga o te pouri, me nga mea huna o nga wahi ngaro, kia mohio ai koe ko Ihowa ahau, e whakahua atu nei i tou ingoa, ko te Atua o Iharaira.
4 He whakaaro naku ki taku pononga, ki a Hakopa, ki a Iharaira, ki taku i whiriwhiri ai, na reira koe, tou ingoa, i karangatia ai e ahau: whakahuatia ana e ahau tou ingoa i te mea kahore ano koe kia mohio ki ahau.
5 Ko Ihowa ahau, kahore atu hoki; kahore ke atu he atua, ko ahau anake: maku koe e whitiki, ahakoa kahore koe i mohio ki ahau:
6 Kia mohio ai te hunga i te rawhiti, me o te uru, kahore atu, ko ahau anake. Ko Ihowa ahau, kahore ke atu.
7 Naku te marama i whai ahua ai, naku i hanga te pouri; ko ahau te kaihohou rongo, te kaihanga ano o te kino: ko ahau, ko Ihowa, te kaimahi o enei mea katoa.
8 Maturuturu iho, e nga rangi i runga; kia ringihia mai ano he tika e nga kapua; kia puare te whenua, kia hua te whakaora, kia wana ngatahi te tika; naku, na Ihowa, taua mea i hanga.
9 Aue te mate mo te tangata e totohe ana ki tona Kaiwhakaahua! He maramara rihi i roto i nga maramara rihi o te oneone! E mea ake ranei te paru ki tona kaiwhakaahua, He aha tau e mahi na? e mea ranei tau i hanga ai, Kahore ona ringa?
10 Aue te mate mo te tangata e mea ana ki tona papa, He aha tau kua whanau nei? ki te wahine ranei, He aha te mea ka whakamamae na koe?
11 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, a tona Kaiwhakaahua ano, Uia mai ki ahau nga mea e puta mai a mua; ko nga meatanga ki aku tamariki, ki te mahi hoki a oku ringa, whakahaua mai ahau e koe.
12 Naku i mahi te whenua, i hanga hoki nga tangata o runga: naku, na oku ringa i hora nga rangi; ko o ratou mano katoa he mea whakahau naku.
13 Naku ia i whakaara ake i runga i te tika, maku ano e whakatikatika ona ara katoa: ko ia hei hanga i toku pa, hei tuku i aku parau kia haere, kahore hoki he utu, kahore he moni whakapati, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
14 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko nga mauiui o Ihipa, ko nga taonga hokohoko o Etiopia, ko nga Tapeani, he tangata roroa, ka tae mai ki a koe, a ka riro i a koe; ka whai ratou i a koe; ka tae mekameka mai, ka piko ki a koe, ka mea, He pono kei roto i a koe te Atua, kahore atu hoki, kahore he Atua.
15 He pono he Atua koe e whakangaro ana i a koe, e te Atua o Iharaira, e te Kaiwhakaora.
16 Ka whakama, ae ra, ka numinumi kau ratou katoa; ka riro ngatahi ki te whakama nga kaimahi o nga whakapakoko.
17 Ko Iharaira ia, ka ora i roto i a Ihowa, he whakaoranga pumau tonu. E kore koutou e whakama, e kore e numinumi a ake ake.
18 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te kaihanga o nga rangi; ko ia te Atua; nana i whakawhaiahua te whenua, nana i mahi; nana i whakapumau, kihai i hanga e ia hei takoto kau, i whakaahuatia e ia hei nohoanga. Ko Ihowa ahau, kahore ke atu.
19 Kihai ahau i korero i te wahi ngaro, i te wahi pouri o te whenua; kihai ahau i mea ki te uri o Hakopa, Rapua ahau, he mea noa iho. Ko taku korero, ko ta Ihowa, kei te tika, e whakaatu ana i nga mea e rite ana.
20 Huihui, haere mai, whakatata ngatahi mai, e nga oranga o nga iwi: kahore he mohio o te hunga e mau ana i te rakau o ta ratou whakapakoko, e inoi ana ki te atua e kore nei e whakaora.
21 Whakaaturia, kawea mai kia tata, kia whakatakoto whakaaro ngatahi ratou: na wai tenei i korero i mua riro na wai i whakaatu i nga wa onamata? He teka ianei naku, na Ihowa? Kore atu hoki he atua, ko ahau anake; he Atua tika, he kaiwhakaora; kahor e ke atu, ko ahau anake.
22 Tahuri mai ki ahau, kia ora ai koutou, e nga pito katoa o te whenua: ko te Atua hoki ahau, kahore ke atu.
23 Kua waiho ahau e ahau ano hei oati; kua puta atu te kupu i toku mangai i runga i te tika, e kore ano e hoki mai, ara ka tuturi nga turi katoa ki ahau, ka oati mai ano nga arero katoa;
24 Ka mea mai tetahi ki ahau, Kei a Ihowa anake te tika, te kaha: ka haere mai ki a ia nga tangata, a ko nga tangata katoa i riri ki a ia ka whakama.
25 Ma Ihowa ka tika ai, ka whakamanamana ai te uri katoa o Iharaira.
Isaiah 45
New International Version
Isaiah 45
New International Version
45 “This is what the Lord says to his anointed,(A)
to Cyrus,(B) whose right hand I take hold(C) of
to subdue nations(D) before him
and to strip kings of their armor,
to open doors before him
so that gates will not be shut:
2 I will go before you(E)
and will level(F) the mountains[a];
I will break down gates(G) of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.(H)
3 I will give you hidden treasures,(I)
riches stored in secret places,(J)
so that you may know(K) that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, who summons you by name.(L)
4 For the sake of Jacob my servant,(M)
of Israel my chosen,
I summon you by name
and bestow on you a title of honor,
though you do not acknowledge(N) me.
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;(O)
apart from me there is no God.(P)
I will strengthen you,(Q)
though you have not acknowledged me,
6 so that from the rising of the sun
to the place of its setting(R)
people may know(S) there is none besides me.(T)
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 I form the light and create darkness,(U)
I bring prosperity and create disaster;(V)
I, the Lord, do all these things.
8 “You heavens above, rain(W) down my righteousness;(X)
let the clouds shower it down.
Let the earth open wide,
let salvation(Y) spring up,
let righteousness flourish with it;
I, the Lord, have created it.
9 “Woe to those who quarrel(Z) with their Maker,(AA)
those who are nothing but potsherds(AB)
among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter,(AC)
‘What are you making?’(AD)
Does your work say,
‘The potter has no hands’?(AE)
10 Woe to the one who says to a father,
‘What have you begotten?’
or to a mother,
‘What have you brought to birth?’
11 “This is what the Lord says—
the Holy One(AF) of Israel, and its Maker:(AG)
Concerning things to come,
do you question me about my children,
or give me orders about the work of my hands?(AH)
12 It is I who made the earth(AI)
and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;(AJ)
I marshaled their starry hosts.(AK)
13 I will raise up Cyrus[b](AL) in my righteousness:
I will make all his ways straight.(AM)
He will rebuild my city(AN)
and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,(AO)
says the Lord Almighty.”
14 This is what the Lord says:
“The products(AP) of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,[c]
and those tall Sabeans(AQ)—
they will come over to you(AR)
and will be yours;
they will trudge behind you,(AS)
coming over to you in chains.(AT)
They will bow down before you
and plead(AU) with you, saying,
‘Surely God is with you,(AV) and there is no other;
there is no other god.(AW)’”
15 Truly you are a God who has been hiding(AX) himself,
the God and Savior(AY) of Israel.
16 All the makers of idols will be put to shame and disgraced;(AZ)
they will go off into disgrace together.
17 But Israel will be saved(BA) by the Lord
with an everlasting salvation;(BB)
you will never be put to shame or disgraced,(BC)
to ages everlasting.
18 For this is what the Lord says—
he who created the heavens,
he is God;
he who fashioned and made the earth,(BD)
he founded it;
he did not create it to be empty,(BE)
but formed it to be inhabited(BF)—
he says:
“I am the Lord,
and there is no other.(BG)
19 I have not spoken in secret,(BH)
from somewhere in a land of darkness;(BI)
I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,(BJ)
‘Seek(BK) me in vain.’
I, the Lord, speak the truth;
I declare what is right.(BL)
20 “Gather together(BM) and come;
assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant(BN) are those who carry(BO) about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.(BP)
21 Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.
Who foretold(BQ) this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?(BR)
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no God apart from me,(BS)
a righteous God(BT) and a Savior;(BU)
there is none but me.
22 “Turn(BV) to me and be saved,(BW)
all you ends of the earth;(BX)
for I am God, and there is no other.(BY)
23 By myself I have sworn,(BZ)
my mouth has uttered in all integrity(CA)
a word that will not be revoked:(CB)
Before me every knee will bow;(CC)
by me every tongue will swear.(CD)
24 They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone
are deliverance(CE) and strength.(CF)’”
All who have raged against him
will come to him and be put to shame.(CG)
25 But all the descendants(CH) of Israel
will find deliverance(CI) in the Lord
and will make their boast in him.(CJ)
