1 A t the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

I taua wa, e ai ta Ihowa, ka waiho ahau hei Atua mo nga hapu katoa o Iharaira, ko ratou hoki hei iwi maku.

2 T hus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko te iwi i toe i te hoari, i kite i te manako ki te koraha; ara a Iharaira, i ahau i haere atu ai ki te mea tanga manawa mona.

3 T he Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

I puta mai a Ihowa ki ahau i mua noa atu, i mea mai, Ae ra, he aroha pumau toku i aroha ai ahau ki a koe: na reira te atawhai i kukume ai ahau i a koe.

4 A gain I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

Ka hanga ano koe e ahau, a ka oti koe te hanga, e te wahine o Iharaira: tera ano koe ka whakapaipaia ki au timipera, a ka haere atu i roto i nga kanikani a te hunga harakoa.

5 T hou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.

Tera koe e whakato ano he mara waina ki runga ki nga maunga o Hamaria: ka whakato nga kaiwhakato, a ka kai i ona hua.

6 F or there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God.

No te mea tena ano te ra, e karanga ai nga kaitiaki i runga i nga pukepuke o Eparaima, Whakatika, tatou ka haere ki runga, ki Hiona, ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua.

7 F or thus saith the Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Waiata i runga i te koa ki a Hakopa, hamama mo te metararahi o nga iwi: korerotia atu, whakamoemititia, mea atu, E Ihowa, whakaorangia tau iwi, te morehu o Iharaira.

8 B ehold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.

Nana, ka kawea mai ratou e ahau i te whenua ki te raki, ka kohikohia mai i nga topito o te whenua, me nga matapo, me nga kopa, me te wahine e hapu ana, me te wahine hoki e whakamamae ana, i o ratou taha; he hui nui tonu ratou e hoki mai ai ki kon ei.

9 T hey shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Ka haere mai ratou me te tangi, a ka arahina ratou e ahau i runga i te inoi: ka meinga ratou e ahau kia haere i te taha o nga awa wai, ma te ara tika e kore ai o ratou waewae e tutuki i reira; no te mea he papa ahau ki a Iharaira, a ko Eparaima t aku matamua.

10 H ear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e nga iwi, korerotia hoki ki nga motu o tawhiti, mea atu, Ko te kaititaritari o Iharaira, mana ratou e whakawhaiti, mana ratou e tiaki, ka rite ki ta te hepara i tana kahui.

11 F or the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.

Kua hokona nei hoki a Hakopa e Ihowa, utua ana e ia, tangohia mai ana i roto i te ringa o te mea i kaha rawa i a ia.

12 T herefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

Na ka haere mai ratou ka waiata i te wahi tiketike o Hiona, ka rere huihui ki te pai o Ihowa, ki te witi, ki te waina, ki te hinu, a ki nga kuao hipi, kuao kau: a ka rite o ratou wairua ki te kari kua oti te whakamakuku; a ka tino mutu rawa ta r atou tangi.

13 T hen shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

Katahi te wahine ka koa ki te kanikani, me nga taitama ngatahi ko nga kaumatua: ka meinga hoki e ahau ta ratou tangi hei koa, ka whakamarietia ratou, a ka meinga ratou kia hari i o ratou mamae.

14 A nd I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord.

Ka whakatinaia e ahau te wairua o nga tohunga ki te ngako, ka makona ano toku iwi i toku pai, e ai ta Ihowa.

15 T hus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, I rangona he reo ki Rama, he uhunga, he tangi, tiwerawera ana, ko Rahera e tangi ana ki ana tamariki, a kihai i pai kia whakamarietia mo ana tamariki, kua kahore nei.

16 T hus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whakamutua te tangi o tou reo, nga roimata hoki i ou kanohi; no te mea ka whai utu tau mahi, e ai ta Ihowa; a ka hoki mai ano ratou i te whenua o te hoariri.

17 A nd there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border.

Ka whai tumanakohanga hoki tou mutunga, e ai ta Ihowa, a ka hoki mai au tamariki ki to ratou ake rohe.

18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God.

He pono kua rongo ahau i a Eparaima e tangi ana ki a ia ano, penei, Kua pakia ahau e koe, a i pakia ahau, pera i te kuao kau kihai i whakaakona ki te ioka: whakatahuritia ahau, a ka tahuri ahau; ko koe nei hoki a Ihowa, toku Atua.

19 S urely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.

He pono i muri i toku tahuritanga, i ripeneta ahau; a i muri i toku whakaakoranga i papaki ahau ki toku huha: i whakama ahau, ae ra, i numinumi kau, no te mea e waha ana e ahau te ingoa kino o toku taitamarikitanga.

20 I s Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.

He tamaiti matenui ianei a Eparaima naku? he tamaiti ahuareka ianei? no te mea ka korero ana ahau i te he mona, mau tonu toku maharahara ki a ia: no reira oku whekau i oho ai ki a ia; he pono ka tohungia ia e ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.

21 S et thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.

Whakaturia ake etahi tohu ara mau, hanga he pou waitohu: e anga tou ngakau ki te huanui, ki te ara i haere ai koe: hoki mai, e te wahine o Iharaira, hoki mai ano ki enei pa ou.

22 H ow long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.

Kia pehea te roa o tou kopikopiko, e te tamahine tahurihuri ke? kua hanga hoki e Ihowa he mea hou ki runga ki te whenua, Ka karapoti te wahine i te tane.

23 T hus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The Lord bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Tenei ake ka korerotia ano tenei kupu ki te whenua o Hura, ki ona pa hoki, ina whakahokia mai ratou e ahau i te whakarau: Kia manaaki a Ihowa i a koe, e te nohoanga o te tika, e te maung a o te tapu.

24 A nd there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.

A ka noho tahi a Hura me ona pa katoa ki reira; te hunga ngaki i te whenua me te hunga ano e haere tahi ana me nga kahui.

25 F or I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.

Kua tino whakamakonatia hoki e ahau te wairua ruha, kua whakakiia ano nga wairua katoa e pouri ana.

26 U pon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.

I konei ka maranga ahau, a ka titiro; na he reka ki ahau taku moe.

27 B ehold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e whakatokia ai e ahau te whare o Iharaira me te whare o Hura ki te purapura tangata, ki te purapura kararehe.

28 A nd it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.

Na ka pera i ahau i tiaki ai i a ratou i mua, he mea kia hutia ake, kia wahia iho, kia turakina ki raro, kia whakangaromia, kia tukinotia; ka pera ano taku tiaki i a ratou, he mea kia hanga, kia whakatokia, e ai ta Ihowa.

29 I n those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.

I aua ra ka mutu ta ratou ki, Kua kai nga matua i nga karepe kaiota, a moniania ana nga niho o nga tamariki.

30 B ut every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

Engari ka mate tenei, tenei, i runga i tona kino, i tona kino: ko nga tangata katoa e kai ana i te karepe kaiota, ko ona niho ano e moniania.

31 B ehold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e whakaritea ai e ahau he kawenata hou ki te whare o Iharaira, ki te whare hoki o Hura:

32 n ot according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

E kore ano ia e rite ki te kawenata i whakaritea e ahau ki o ratou matua i te ra i pupuri ai ahau ki o ratou ringa, a kawea mai ana ratou i te whenua o Ihipa; whakataka ana e ratou taua kawenata aku, ahakoa i waiho ahau hei tahu marena ma ratou, e ai ta Ihowa.

33 b ut this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Engari ko te kawenata tenei e whakaritea e ahau ki te whare o Iharaira i muri i aua ra, e ai ta Ihowa; Ka hoatu e ahau taku ture ki o ratou wahi i roto, ka tuhituhia ano ki to ratou ngakau; a ko ahau hei Atua mo ratou, ko ratou hei iwi maku.

34 A nd they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

I muri nei kahore he whakaako a tetahi i tona hoa tata, a tetahi i tona teina, kahore he ki atu, Kia mohio ki a Ihowa; ka mohio hoki ratou katoa ki ahau, i te iti o ratou tae noa ki te mea rahi rawa, e ai ta Ihowa: no te mea ka whakarerea noatia e ahau to ratou kino, a heoi ano oku mahara ki to ratou hara.

35 T hus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name:

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, nana nei i homai te ra hei whakamarama i te awatea, me nga tikanga o te marama, o nga whetu, hei whakamarama i te po, nana hoki i whakatutehu te moana, i nganga ai ona ngaru; ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa:

36 i f those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

Ki te mawehe atu enei tikanga i toku aroaro, e ai ta Ihowa, ko reira ano ka kore te uri o Iharaira hei iwi i toku aroaro a ake ake.

37 T hus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Mehemea e taea ana te ruri te rangi i runga, te rapu hoki nga turanga o te whenua i raro, katahi hoki ahau ka paopao ki nga uri katoa o Iharaira mo nga mea katoa kua mahia e ratou, e ai ta Ihowa.

38 B ehold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner.

Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e hanga ai te pa hei mea ki a Ihowa, i te pourewa atu o Hananeere tae noa ki te kuwaha o te koki.

39 A nd the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.

A ka tae tonu atu te aho ruri, tika tonu atu ki te pukepuke ki Karepe, taiawhio tonu atu ki Koata.

40 A nd the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the Lord; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.

Na, ko te raorao katoa i nga tupapaku, i nga pungarehu, a ko nga mara katoa hoki, a tae noa ki te awa, ki Kitirono, ki te koki i te kuwaha hoiho whaka te rawhiti, ka tapu katoa ki a Ihowa; e kore e hutia ake, e kore ano e wahia iho a ake ake.
