Isaiah 49
Maori Bible
49 Whakarongo, e nga motu, ki ahau; kia whai whakaaro, e nga iwi o tawhiti; na Ihowa ahau i karanga, no te kopu mai ano; no nga whekau o toku whaea i whakahua ai ia i toku ingoa.
2 A meinga iho e ia toku mangai hei hoari koi; huna ana ahau e ia ki te taumarumarunga iho o tona ringa; a meinga ana ahau e ia hei pere kua oti te oro; kuhua ana ahau e ia ki tana papa pere.
3 I mea ano ia ki ahau, Ko koe taku pononga; ko Iharaira, mau ka whai kororia ai ahau.
4 Ko ahau ia i mea, Maumau mauiui noa ahau, he kore noa iho, he tekateka noa i whakapaua ai e ahau toku kaha; raia, kei a Ihowa he whakawa moku, kei toku Atua hoki he wahi maku.
5 Na akuanei, e ai ta Ihowa, nana nei ahau i whakaahua i te kopu hei tangata mana, hei whakahoki mai i a Hakopa ki a ia, kia kohikohia ai a Iharaira ki a ia; ka nui hoki ahau ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ko toku Atua hoki hei kaha moku;
6 Ae ra, i mea ia, He mea nohinohi kia waiho koe hei tangata maku, hei whakaara i nga iwi o Hakopa, hei whakahoki mai i nga oranga o Iharaira: ka hoatu ano koe e ahau hei marama ki nga tauiwi, kia ai koe hei whakaoranga maku, a te pito ra ano o te ao.
7 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te kaihoko o Iharaira, a tona Mea Tapu hoki, ki ta te tangata e whakahawea nei, ki ta te iwi e whakarihariha nei, ki te pononga a nga ariki, Ka kite nga kingi, ka whakatika ano, ka koropiko hoki nga rangatira; he mea h oki na Ihowa, he pono hoki ia, na te Mea Tapu o Iharaira; nana hoki koe i whiriwhiri.
8 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: No te ra manakohanga atu i whakahoki kupu ai ahau ki a koe, no te ra whakaora hoki i awhinatia ai koe e ahau; maku ano koe e tiaki, ka hoatu ano koe e ahau hei kawenata mo te iwi, hei whakaara i te whenua, hei mea kia no hoia nga kainga tupu kua ururuatia;
9 Hei mea ki nga herehere, Haere; ki te hunga i te pouri, Whakaatu i a koutou: ka kai ratou ki nga ara, ka ai hoki he wahi kai ma ratou ki nga pukepuke katoa.
10 E kore ratou e matekai, e kore ano e matewai, e kore hoki te werawera, te ra ranei, e pakakinakina ki a ratou; no te mea ko to ratou kaiatawhai hei arahi i a ratou; mana hoki ratou e arahi ki nga puna wai.
11 A ka waiho e ahau oku maunga katoa hei ara, ka whakateiteitia hoki oku huanui.
12 Nana, ka haere mai enei i tawhiti; nana, ko ena i te raki, i te taha hoki ki te uru, ko ena hoki i te whenua o Hinimi.
13 Waiata, e nga rangi; kia hari hoki, e te whenua; kia pakaru mai ta koutou waiata, e nga maunga: ka whakamarie hoki a Ihowa i tana iwi, ka aroha hoki ki ana kua tukinotia nei.
14 Otiia i mea a Hiona, Kua whakarerea ahau e Ihowa, kua wareware ahau i toku Ariki.
15 Tera ranei e wareware i te wahine tana kohungahunga, a kore ake ona aroha ki te tamaiti a tona kopu? E wareware ano ratou: ko ahau nei, e kore ahau e wareware ki a koe.
16 Nana, kua taia koe e ahau ki nga kapu o oku ringa; kei toku aroaro tonu ou taiepa.
17 Ka hohoro au tamariki; ka haere atu i roto i a koe ou kaiwawahi, ou kaiwhakamoti.
18 Tahuri ake ou kanohi a karapoi noa, titiro hoki; ka huihui katoa ena, ka haere mai ki a koe. E ora ana ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, ina, ka kakahu koe i a ratou, ano he mea whakapaipai, ka herehere hoki i a ratou ki a koe, kei nga mea o te wahine marena hou te rite.
19 Na, ko ou wahi ururua, ko ou wahi kua tuheatia me tou whenua kua huna, he pono ka kopiri rawa koe mo nga kainoho, a ka matara atu ou kaiwhakamoti.
20 Ko nga tamariki i whakapania ai koe, tera ano ratou e mea ki ou taringa, E kiki ana te wahi nei moku: whakawateatia atu, kia noho ai ahau.
21 A ka mea koe i tou ngakau, Na wai enei i whanau ai ki ahau, kua whakakorea nei aku tamariki i ahau, he moke, he parau, he kopikopiko nei ahau? na wai ra enei i whakatupu ake? Nana, i waiho mokemoke ahau: ko enei, i hea ra enei?
22 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana, ka ara atu toku ringa ki nga tauiwi, ka tu hoki taku kara ki nga iwi: a ka maua mai e ratou au tama, awhi rawa ki o ratou uma, ka kawea mai hoki au tamahine i runga i o ratou pokohiwi.
23 A hei matua atawhai mou nga kingi, ko a ratou kuini hoki hei kaiwhakangote mou: ka piko iho ratou ki a koe, tapapa rawa ki te whenua, ka mitimiti hoki i te puehu o ou waewae: a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau; e kore hoki te hunga e tatari ana ki aha u e whakama.
24 Tera ranei e tangohia nga taonga parau i te tangata kaha, e mawhiti ranei te tangata kua tika nei tona hereherenga?
25 Na ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ina, ka tangohia mai nga herehere a te tangata kaha, ka whakahokia mai ano nga taonga parau a te nanakia: ka ngangare ano ahau ki te tangata e ngangare ana ki a koe, ka whakaora hoki i au tamariki.
26 A ka whangaia atu e ahau to ratou kikokiko ake ma ou kaiwhakatupu kino; ka haurangi ano ratou i o ratou ake toto, me te mea na te waina reka; a ka mohio nga kikokiko katoa ko ahau, ko Ihowa, e whakaora nei i a koe, ko tou kaihoko hoki, ko te Mea Nui o Hakopa.
Isaiah 49
New International Version
Isaiah 49
New International Version
The Servant of the Lord
49 Listen(A) to me, you islands;(B)
hear this, you distant nations:
Before I was born(C) the Lord called(D) me;
from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.(E)
2 He made my mouth(F) like a sharpened sword,(G)
in the shadow of his hand(H) he hid me;
he made me into a polished arrow(I)
and concealed me in his quiver.
3 He said to me, “You are my servant,(J)
Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.(K)”
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain;(L)
I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand,(M)
and my reward(N) is with my God.”(O)
5 And now the Lord says—
he who formed me in the womb(P) to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
and gather Israel(Q) to himself,
for I am[a] honored(R) in the eyes of the Lord
and my God has been my strength(S)—
6 he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant(T)
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.(U)
I will also make you a light(V) for the Gentiles,(W)
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”(X)
7 This is what the Lord says—
the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel(Y)—
to him who was despised(Z) and abhorred by the nation,
to the servant of rulers:
“Kings(AA) will see you and stand up,
princes will see and bow down,(AB)
because of the Lord, who is faithful,(AC)
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen(AD) you.”
Restoration of Israel
8 This is what the Lord says:
“In the time of my favor(AE) I will answer you,
and in the day of salvation I will help you;(AF)
I will keep(AG) you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people,(AH)
to restore the land(AI)
and to reassign its desolate inheritances,(AJ)
9 to say to the captives,(AK) ‘Come out,’
and to those in darkness,(AL) ‘Be free!’
“They will feed beside the roads
and find pasture on every barren hill.(AM)
10 They will neither hunger nor thirst,(AN)
nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them.(AO)
He who has compassion(AP) on them will guide(AQ) them
and lead them beside springs(AR) of water.
11 I will turn all my mountains into roads,
and my highways(AS) will be raised up.(AT)
12 See, they will come from afar(AU)—
some from the north, some from the west,(AV)
some from the region of Aswan.[b]”
13 Shout for joy,(AW) you heavens;
rejoice, you earth;(AX)
burst into song, you mountains!(AY)
For the Lord comforts(AZ) his people
and will have compassion(BA) on his afflicted ones.(BB)
15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child(BE) she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!(BF)
16 See, I have engraved(BG) you on the palms of my hands;
your walls(BH) are ever before me.
17 Your children hasten back,
and those who laid you waste(BI) depart from you.
18 Lift up your eyes and look around;
all your children gather(BJ) and come to you.
As surely as I live,(BK)” declares the Lord,
“you will wear(BL) them all as ornaments;
you will put them on, like a bride.
19 “Though you were ruined and made desolate(BM)
and your land laid waste,(BN)
now you will be too small for your people,(BO)
and those who devoured(BP) you will be far away.
20 The children born during your bereavement
will yet say in your hearing,
‘This place is too small for us;
give us more space to live in.’(BQ)
21 Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who bore me these?(BR)
I was bereaved(BS) and barren;
I was exiled and rejected.(BT)
Who brought these(BU) up?
I was left(BV) all alone,(BW)
but these—where have they come from?’”
22 This is what the Sovereign Lord(BX) says:
“See, I will beckon to the nations,
I will lift up my banner(BY) to the peoples;
they will bring(BZ) your sons in their arms
and carry your daughters on their hips.(CA)
23 Kings(CB) will be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.(CC)
They will bow down(CD) before you with their faces to the ground;
they will lick the dust(CE) at your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;(CF)
those who hope(CG) in me will not be disappointed.(CH)”
25 But this is what the Lord says:
“Yes, captives(CJ) will be taken from warriors,(CK)
and plunder retrieved from the fierce;(CL)
I will contend with those who contend with you,(CM)
and your children I will save.(CN)
26 I will make your oppressors(CO) eat(CP) their own flesh;
they will be drunk on their own blood,(CQ) as with wine.
Then all mankind will know(CR)
that I, the Lord, am your Savior,(CS)
your Redeemer,(CT) the Mighty One of Jacob.(CU)”
