1 A tera e puta ake he wana i te take i a Hehe, a ka whai hua tetahi peka e tupu ake i roto i ona pakiaka:

And there shall come forth a Shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a Branch out of his roots shall grow and bear fruit.

2 K a noho hoki te wairua o Ihowa ki runga ki a ia, te wairua o te whakaaro nui, o te matauranga, te wairua o te whakatakoto whakaaro, o te kaha, te wairua o te mohio, o te wehi ki a Ihowa;

And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him—the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord—

3 A , ko tana e ahuareka ai ko te wehi ki a Ihowa: e kore ano ia e whakawa i runga i ta ona kanohi e kite ai, e kore ano e whakaaro ki ta ona taringa e rongo ai, ina riria e ia te he.

And shall make Him of quick understanding, and His delight shall be in the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord. And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, neither decide by the hearing of His ears;

4 E ngari ka whakawa ia mo nga rawakore i runga i te tika; i runga ano i te tika tona riri i te he, he whakaaro nona ki te hunga mahaki o te whenua; he whiu na tona mangai tana patu mo te whenua, ka whakamatea ano e ia te tangata kino ki te manawa o ona ngutu.

But with righteousness and justice shall He judge the poor and decide with fairness for the meek, the poor, and the downtrodden of the earth; and He shall smite the earth and the oppressor with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

5 A hei whitiki te tika mo tona hope, hei whitiki ano te pono mo ona whatumanawa.

And righteousness shall be the girdle of His waist and faithfulness the girdle of His loins.

6 K a noho tahi ano te wuruhi raua ko te reme, ka takoto tahi te reparo raua ko te kuao koati; ko te kuao kau, ko te kuao raiona, ko te mea momona, kotahi ano ropu; a ma te tamaiti iti ratou e arahi.

And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatted domestic animal together; and a little child shall lead them.

7 A ka kai te kau raua ko te pea; ka takoto tahi ano hoki a raua kuao: a ka rite te raiona ki te kau, ka kai i te kakau witi.

And the cow and the bear shall feed side by side, their young shall lie down together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 K a takaro hoki te tamaiti ngote u i runga i te rua o te ahipi, a ka pa atu te ringa o te tamaiti kua whakamutua te kai u ki te nohoanga o te neke.

And the sucking child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.

9 E kore ratou e tukino, e kore ano e whakamate puta noa i toku maunga tapu: no te mea ka kapi te whenua i te matauranga ki a Ihowa, ano ko nga wai e taupoko nei i te moana.

They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

10 N a i taua ra ko tetahi pakiaka o Hehe, ka tu hei kara ki nga iwi, ka rapua mai e nga tauiwi; ko tona okiokinga hoki, kororia rawa.

And it shall be in that day that the Root of Jesse shall stand as a signal for the peoples; of Him shall the nations inquire and seek knowledge, and His dwelling shall be glory!

11 I taua ra ka anga ano te ringa o te Ariki, a ka tuaruatia te whakahoki mai o nga morehu o tana iwi e mahue i Ahiria, i Ihipa, i Patoro, i Kuhu, i Erama, i Hinara, i Hamata, i nga motu ano o te moana.

And in that day the Lord shall again lift up His hand a second time to recover (acquire and deliver) the remnant of His people which is left, from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Pathros, from Ethiopia, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the countries bordering on the Sea.

12 K a whakaturia ano e ia he kara ki nga iwi, a ka huihuia mai te hunga o Iharaira i peia atu, ka whakaminea mai ano nga mea o Hura i marara atu, i nga pito e wha o te whenua.

And He will raise up a signal for the nations and will assemble the outcasts of Israel and will gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

13 K a haere atu hoki te hae o Eparaima, ka hatepea atu ano hoki nga hoariri o Hura: e kore a Eparaima e hae ki a Hura, e kore ano a Hura e whakatoi ki a Eparaima.

The envy and jealousy of Ephraim also shall depart, and they who vex and harass Judah from outside or inside shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex and harass Ephraim.

14 E ngari ka rere iho ratou i runga i te pokohiwi o nga Pirihitini i te taha ki te hauauru, ka pahuatia ngatahitia e ratou te hunga o te rawhiti; ka pa o ratou ringa ki runga ki a Eroma raua ko Moapa; ka whakarongo hoki nga tama a Amona ki a ratou.

But will swoop down upon the shoulders of the Philistines’ toward the west; together they will strip the people on the east. They will lay their hands upon Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will obey them.

15 A ka whakangaromia rawatia e Ihowa te arero o te moana i Ihipa; a he hau hunuhunu tana e ruru ai i tona ringa ki runga ki te awa, e patu ai kia whitu ona rerenga, a ka meinga nga tangata kia whiti maroke noa atu.

And the Lord will utterly destroy (doom and dry up) the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with His scorching wind He will wave His hand over the river and will smite it into seven channels and will cause men to cross over dry-shod.

16 A ka takoto he ara haerenga mai i Ahiria mo nga morehu o tana iwi ka mahue; ka rite ano ki to Iharaira i te ra i haere mai ai ia i te whenua o Ihipa.

And there shall be a highway from Assyria for the remnant left of His people, as there was for Israel when they came up out of the land of Egypt.
