1 H ear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

Whakarongo ki tenei, e te whare o Hakopa, e te hunga kua huaina nei ko Iharaira hei ingoa mo koutou, kua puta ake nei i roto i nga wai o Hura; e whakaoati ana i te ingo o Ihowa, e whakahua ana i te Atua o Iharaira, ehara ia i te mea i runga i te pono, i te tika.

2 ( for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; Jehovah of hosts is his name):

Ki ta ratou karanga hoki, no te pa tapu ratou, e okioki ana hoki ki te Atua o Iharaira; ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa.

3 I have declared the former things from of old; yea, they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them: suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.

He mea whakaatu naku nonamata nga mea o mua; ae ra, i puta ano hoki aua mea i toku mangai, he mea korero naku; kitea rawatia ake kua mahia e ahau, kua puta.

4 B ecause I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

I mohio hoki ahau he pakeke koe, he uaua rino hoki tou kaki, he parahi tou rae;

5 t herefore I have declared it to thee from of old; before it came to pass I showed it thee; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.

Na reira naku i whakaatu ki a koe inamata; kiano i puta kua korerotia e ahau ki a koe: kei ki koe, Na taku whakapakoko ena mahi, he mea whakahau enei na te mea i whaowhaoa e ahau, na te mea i whakarewaina e ahau.

6 T hou hast heard it; behold all this; and ye, will ye not declare it? I have showed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou hast not known.

Kua rongo koe; tirohia tenei katoa: a e kore ianei e whakaaturia e koutou? Kua korerotia nei e ahau ki a koe he mea hou, he mea i muri i tenei wa, he mea huna, kihai i mohiotia e koe;

7 T hey are created now, and not from of old; and before this day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.

He mea hanga nonaianei, kahore hoki inamata: i mua i tenei ra kihai i rangona e koutou; kei ki koe, Nana, i mohiotia e ahau.

8 Y ea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from of old thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou didst deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

Ae ra, kihai koe i rongo, kihai i mohio; ae ra, mai o mua kihai tou taringa i whakapuaretia: i mohio hoki ahau i mahi tinihanga koe, a no te kopu ano koe i huaina ai he poka ke.

9 F or my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

Ka whakaaro ahau ki toku ingoa, a ka puhoi toku riri; ka whakaaro ki te whakamoemiti ki ahau, a ka pehi i taku ki a koe, kei hatepea atu koe.

10 B ehold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

Kua oti ou para te tahi e ahau, ehara ia i te mea hei hiriwa; he mea whiriwhiri koe naku i roto i te oumu, i te tangi.

11 F or mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? and my glory will I not give to another.

He whakaaro ki ahau, he whakaaro ki ahau, i meatia ai tenei e ahau: kia whakapokea koia toku ingoa? e kore ano toku kororia e hoatu e ahau ki tetahi atu.

12 H earken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

Whakarongo ki ahau, e Hakopa, e Iharaira, e taku i karanga ai; ko ahau ia, ko ahau te tuatahi, ko ahau ano te mutunga.

13 Y ea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.

Ae ra, na toku ringa i whakatakoto nga turanga o te whenua, na toku matau i hora nga rangi; ki te karangatia ratou e ahau, ka tu ngatahi ratou.

14 A ssemble yourselves, all ye, and hear; who among them hath declared these things? He whom Jehovah loveth shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

Huihui mai, e koutou katoa, whakarongo hoki; na wai o ratou enei mea i whakaatu? He mea aroha ia na Ihowa; ka oti i a ia tana i pai ai ki Papurona, ka pa ano tona ringa ki nga Karari.

15 I , even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

Naku, naku te kupu, ae ra, he mea karanga ia naku, naku ia i kawe mai, ka tika ano i a ia tona ara.

16 C ome ye near unto me, hear ye this; from the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and his Spirit.

Whakatata mai ki ahau, whakarongo ki tenei; ko taku, no te timatanga ra ano ehara i te korero puku: i nga wa o aua mea, i reira ahau; na, inaianei na te Ariki, na Ihowa ahau i unga mai, na tona wairua ano.

17 T hus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a tou kaihoko, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, Ko Ihowa ahau, ko tou Atua e whakaako nei i a koe ki te pai mou, e arahi nei i a koe i te ara e haere ai koe.

18 O h that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

Aue, me i rongo koe ki aku whakahau, ina, kua rite ki te awa te mau o te rongo ki a koe; ko tou tika, koia ano kei nga ngaru o te moana.

19 t hy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the grains thereof: his name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.

Kua rite ano ou uri ki te onepu, nga whanau o ou whekau ki te kirikiri o reira; ko tona ingoa kihai i hatepea atu, kihai i whakangaromia i toku aroaro.

20 G o ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth: say ye, Jehovah hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

Haere atu i Papurona, e rere i roto i nga Karari; kia waiata te reo i a koutou e whakaatu ana; korerotia tenei, whakapuakina ki te pito o te whenua; ki atu, Kua oti i a Ihowa tana pononga, a Hakopa te hoko.

21 A nd they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

Kihai ano ratou i matewai i a ia e arahi ana i a ratou i nga koraha; i meinga e ia te wai mo ratou kia rere i roto i te kamaka: i wahia e ia te kamaka, a pupu mai ana te wai.

22 T here is no peace, saith Jehovah, to the wicked.

Kahore he maunga rongo ki te hunga kino, e ai ta Ihowa.
