1 ¶ Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye one year to another; the lambs shall cease.

Aue te mate mo Ariere, mo Ariere, mo te pa i noho ai a Rawiri! tapiritia iho tetahi tau ki tetahi tau; mahia nga hakari i nga wa e rite ai:

2 Y et I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.

Hei reira raru ai i ahau a Ariere, a ka pouri; ka tangi: a ka rite ia ki ahau ano ko Ariere.

3 A nd I will camp against thee round about and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.

Ka nohoia atu ano koe e ahau, a karapoi noa; ka whakapaea koe ki te parepare, ka ara ano i ahau he taiepa hei tatau ki a koe.

4 A nd thou shalt be brought down and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as that of a spiritist, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

A ka whakahokia iho koe, ka korero ake i te whenua; ka iti ano tau kupu i roto i te puehu; ka rite tou reo ki to te tangata i te atua maori, he mea puta ake i te whenua, ka kohimu ake tau kupu i roto i te puehu.

5 M oreover the multitude of thy enemies that shall come from afar shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the strong ones shall be as chaff that passes away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

Ko te huihuinga ia o ou hoariri ka rite ki te puehu ririki, a koe te huihuinga o te hunga nanakia ki te papapa e rere atu ana: ae ra, ka hemorere tonu.

6 T hou shalt be visited of the LORD of the hosts with thunders, with earthquakes, and with great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

Ka pa ta Ihowa o nga mano ki a ia, he whatitiri, he ru, he reo nui, he tukauati, he tupuhi, he mura ahi e ka ana.

7 A nd the multitude of all the Gentiles that shall fight against Ariel, even all that shall fight against her and their siege weapons, and those that shall distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

A ka rite ki te moe, ki te rekanga kanohi o te po nga iwi maha katoa e whawhai ana ki Ariere, ara te hunga katoa e ngangare ana ki a ia, ki tona pa kaha, e whakatupu kino ana hoki i a ia.

8 I t shall even be as he who dreams that he is hungry, and in his dream, he eats; but when he awakes, his soul is empty; and as he who dreams that he is thirsty, and, in his dream, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul is still thirsty: so shall the multitude of all the Gentiles be, that shall fight against Mount Zion.

Ka rite ano ki te tangata matekai e moe ana, na kei te kai ia; heoi, kei te ohonga ake, e takoto kau ana tona wairua: ka rite hoki ki te tangata matewai e moe ana, na kei te inu ia; te ohonga ake, kahore he kaha, kei te hiahia ano tona wairua: ko te rite tera o te hui o nga iwi katoa e whawhai ana ki Maunga Hiona.

9 ¶ Become ye dumb, and make others dumb; become ye blind, and blind others: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

E tu koutou, e miharo; e hari, a ka matapo: e haurangi ana ratou, ehara ia i te waina; e hurori ana, engari ehara i te wai kaha.

10 F or the LORD has extended upon you the spirit of deep sleep and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, he has covered the seers with sleep.

No te mea kua ringihia e Ihowa te wairua o te moe au tonu ki runga ki a koutou, kua oti ano i a ia te whakamoe o koutou kanohi, nga poropiti; ko o koutou rangatira, ko nga matakite, kua taupokina e ia.

11 A nd every vision is unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which if it were delivered to one that knows how to read, saying, Read this, I pray thee: he shall say, I cannot; for it is sealed:

A ka rite ki a koutou te kitenga katoa ki nga kupu o tetahi pukapuka i hiritia, e hoatu ana e nga tangata ki tetahi tangata matua ki te korero pukapuka, ka mea atu, Tena, korerotia tenei: a ka mea mai ia, E kore e taea e ahau, e hiri na hoki.

12 A nd if the book were delivered to him that does not know how to read, saying, Read this, I pray thee: he shall say, I do not know how to read.

Na ka hoatu taua pukapuka ki te mea kahore nei e matau ki te korero pukapuka; na ko te kianga atu, Tena, korerotia tenei: ano ra ko ia, Kahore ahau e matau ki te korero.

13 T herefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people sacrifice unto me and honour me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from me, and their worship with which they honour me was taught by the commandment of men:

Na ka mea te Ariki, I te mea e whakatata ana mai te iwi nei ki ahau, a e whakahonore ana i ahau ki to ratou mangai, ki o ratou ngutu, otiia e matara noa atu ana i ahau o ratou ngakau, a ko to ratou wehi ki ahau he mea whakaako e ta te tangata to hutohu:

14 T herefore, behold, I will again do a marvellous work among this people with a fearful miracle: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the prudence of their prudent men shall fade away.

Na, ka tahuri ahau ki te mahi i tetahi mahi whakamiharo ki waenganui i tenei iwi, he mahi whakamiharo rawa, he miharo whakaharahara: ka whakamotitia hoki nga whakaaro o o ratou mea whakaaro nui, ka ngaro te matauranga o o ratou mea mohio.

15 W oe unto those that hide themselves from the LORD, covering the counsel; and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?

Aue te mate mo te hunga e whai ana i te wahi hohonu, kia ngaro ai to ratou whakaaro i a Ihowa; a kei te pouri a ratou mahi, e mea ana hoki, Ko wai e kite ana i a tatou? ko wai e matau ana ki a tatou?

16 S urely your subversion shall be as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He did not make me? or shall the vessel say of him that made it, He did not understand?

Ta koutou whakaputa ke! E kiia ranei te kaihanga rihi he rite ki te paru? e ki ake ranei te mea i hanga ki tona kaihanga, Kihai ahau i hanga e ia? e mea ake ranei te mea i mahia ki tona kaimahi, Kahore ona matauranga?

17 ¶ Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into Carmel a fruitful field, and shall not Carmel be esteemed as a forest?

He teka ranei he iti rawa nei te takiwa, a ka puta ke a Repanona hei mara whai hua, a ka kiia te mara whai hua hei ngahere?

18 A nd in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see in the midst of darkness, and of gross darkness.

I taua ra ka rongo nga turi i nga kupu o te pukapuka, ka kite ano nga kanohi o nga matapo i roto i te kakarauri, i te pouri.

19 T hen the humble shall grow in joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

Ka neke ake ano te hari o te hunga mahaki ki a Ihowa, ka koa ano nga tangata rawakore ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.

20 F or the violent one shall be done away with, and the scorner shall be consumed, and all those that rose early unto iniquity shall be cut off:

Kua moti hoki te tangata nanakia; a ko te tangata whakahi, kua poto; kua hatepea atu ano te hunga katoa i whanga ki te kino:

21 T hose that made men to sin in word; those that laid a snare for him that reproved in the gate, and turned that which is just into vanity.

E whakatau he nei ki te tangata e korero ana, e whakatakoto rore nei mo te kairiri o te he i te kuwaha; a kahore he rawa i whakapeaua ketia ai e ratou te tangata tika.

22 T herefore thus saith the LORD, who ransomed Abraham, unto the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale;

Na ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, nana nei a Aperahama i hoko, mo te whare o Hakopa, E kore a Hakopa e whakama aianei, e kore ano e koma tona mata aianei.

23 f or he shall see his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel;

Engari kia kite ia i ana tamariki, i te mahi a oku ringa, i roto i a ia, ka whakatapua e ratou toku ingoa; ae ra, ka whakatapua ano e ratou te Mea Tapu o Hakopa, a ka wehi ki te Atua o Iharaira.

24 a nd those that erred in spirit shall learn understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

Ka mohiotia ano te matauranga e nga wairua kotiti ke, a ka ako te hunga amuamu ki te kupu mohio.
