1 K o te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki tana i whakawahi ai, ki a Hairuha, he mea pupuri nei naku tona ringa matau, kia pehia ai e ia nga iwi ki raro i a ia; maku ano e wewete to nga hope o nga kingi; ko nga tatau ka whakapuaretia ki tona aroaro; e kore ano nga kuwaha e tutakina.

¶ Thus saith the LORD to his Messiah, to Cyrus, whom I have taken by his right hand to subdue Gentiles before him and to loose the loins of kings. To open before him the two-leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut:

2 K o ahau e haere i mua i a koe, ki te whakatikatika i nga wahi tapokopoko: ko nga tatau parahi ka pakaru i ahau; ka tapahia ano e ahau nga tutaki rino.

I will go before thee and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

3 K a hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe nga taonga o te pouri, me nga mea huna o nga wahi ngaro, kia mohio ai koe ko Ihowa ahau, e whakahua atu nei i tou ingoa, ko te Atua o Iharaira.

And I will give thee the hidden treasures and the well-guarded secrets that thou may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who gives thee thy name.

4 H e whakaaro naku ki taku pononga, ki a Hakopa, ki a Iharaira, ki taku i whiriwhiri ai, na reira koe, tou ingoa, i karangatia ai e ahau: whakahuatia ana e ahau tou ingoa i te mea kahore ano koe kia mohio ki ahau.

For Jacob my slave’s sake and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

5 K o Ihowa ahau, kahore atu hoki; kahore ke atu he atua, ko ahau anake: maku koe e whitiki, ahakoa kahore koe i mohio ki ahau:

¶ I am the LORD, and there is no one else; there is no God beside me; I shall gird thee, though thou hast not known me

6 K ia mohio ai te hunga i te rawhiti, me o te uru, kahore atu, ko ahau anake. Ko Ihowa ahau, kahore ke atu.

that it may be known from the rising of the sun and from where it goes down that there is no one beside me. I am the LORD, and there is no one else.

7 N aku te marama i whai ahua ai, naku i hanga te pouri; ko ahau te kaihohou rongo, te kaihanga ano o te kino: ko ahau, ko Ihowa, te kaimahi o enei mea katoa.

I form the light and create darkness; I make peace and create evil: I am the LORD that does all this.

8 M aturuturu iho, e nga rangi i runga; kia ringihia mai ano he tika e nga kapua; kia puare te whenua, kia hua te whakaora, kia wana ngatahi te tika; naku, na Ihowa, taua mea i hanga.

Release, ye heavens, from above, and the clouds shall pour down righteous ness; let the earth open up, and let salvation and righteousness bear their fruit; let them produce fruit together; I the LORD have created it.

9 A ue te mate mo te tangata e totohe ana ki tona Kaiwhakaahua! He maramara rihi i roto i nga maramara rihi o te oneone! E mea ake ranei te paru ki tona kaiwhakaahua, He aha tau e mahi na? e mea ranei tau i hanga ai, Kahore ona ringa?

Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What doth thou make; thy work has no form?

10 A ue te mate mo te tangata e mea ana ki tona papa, He aha tau kua whanau nei? ki te wahine ranei, He aha te mea ka whakamamae na koe?

Woe unto him that says unto his father, Why dost thou beget? or to the woman, Why hast thou brought forth?

11 K o te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, a tona Kaiwhakaahua ano, Uia mai ki ahau nga mea e puta mai a mua; ko nga meatanga ki aku tamariki, ki te mahi hoki a oku ringa, whakahaua mai ahau e koe.

¶ Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come; inquire of me concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands.

12 N aku i mahi te whenua, i hanga hoki nga tangata o runga: naku, na oku ringa i hora nga rangi; ko o ratou mano katoa he mea whakahau naku.

I have made the earth, and created man upon it, I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens and I have commanded all their host.

13 N aku ia i whakaara ake i runga i te tika, maku ano e whakatikatika ona ara katoa: ko ia hei hanga i toku pa, hei tuku i aku parau kia haere, kahore hoki he utu, kahore he moni whakapati, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

I have awakened him in righteous ness, and I will make straight all his ways; he shall build my city, and he shall loose my captives, not for price nor for bribes, saith the LORD of the hosts.

14 K o te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko nga mauiui o Ihipa, ko nga taonga hokohoko o Etiopia, ko nga Tapeani, he tangata roroa, ka tae mai ki a koe, a ka riro i a koe; ka whai ratou i a koe; ka tae mekameka mai, ka piko ki a koe, ka mea, He pono kei roto i a koe te Atua, kahore atu hoki, kahore he Atua.

Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee; they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is no one else; there is none other beside God.

15 H e pono he Atua koe e whakangaro ana i a koe, e te Atua o Iharaira, e te Kaiwhakaora.

Verily thou art God, that thou might hide thyself; God of Israel, who saves.

16 K a whakama, ae ra, ka numinumi kau ratou katoa; ka riro ngatahi ki te whakama nga kaimahi o nga whakapakoko.

They shall be ashamed and also confounded, all of them; all the makers of idols shall go forth ashamed.

17 K o Iharaira ia, ka ora i roto i a Ihowa, he whakaoranga pumau tonu. E kore koutou e whakama, e kore e numinumi a ake ake.

Israel is saved in the LORD, eternal salvation; ye shall never be ashamed nor confounded through all ages.

18 K o te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te kaihanga o nga rangi; ko ia te Atua; nana i whakawhaiahua te whenua, nana i mahi; nana i whakapumau, kihai i hanga e ia hei takoto kau, i whakaahuatia e ia hei nohoanga. Ko Ihowa ahau, kahore ke atu.

For thus has the LORD said that creates the heavens; God himself that forms the earth, he who made it and established it. He did not create it in vain; he created it to be inhabited; I am the LORD; and there is no one else.

19 K ihai ahau i korero i te wahi ngaro, i te wahi pouri o te whenua; kihai ahau i mea ki te uri o Hakopa, Rapua ahau, he mea noa iho. Ko taku korero, ko ta Ihowa, kei te tika, e whakaatu ana i nga mea e rite ana.

I have not spoken in secret in a dark place of the earth. Not without substance did I say unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me; I am the LORD who speaks righteousness, who declares things that are right.

20 H uihui, haere mai, whakatata ngatahi mai, e nga oranga o nga iwi: kahore he mohio o te hunga e mau ana i te rakau o ta ratou whakapakoko, e inoi ana ki te atua e kore nei e whakaora.

¶ Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, all ye that are escaped of the Gentiles. They have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image and pray unto the god that does not save.

21 W hakaaturia, kawea mai kia tata, kia whakatakoto whakaaro ngatahi ratou: na wai tenei i korero i mua riro na wai i whakaatu i nga wa onamata? He teka ianei naku, na Ihowa? Kore atu hoki he atua, ko ahau anake; he Atua tika, he kaiwhakaora; kahor e ke atu, ko ahau anake.

Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together; who caused this to be heard from the beginning and has declared it from that time, except me, the LORD? and there is no God beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is no one besides me.

22 T ahuri mai ki ahau, kia ora ai koutou, e nga pito katoa o te whenua: ko te Atua hoki ahau, kahore ke atu.

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no one else.

23 K ua waiho ahau e ahau ano hei oati; kua puta atu te kupu i toku mangai i runga i te tika, e kore ano e hoki mai, ara ka tuturi nga turi katoa ki ahau, ka oati mai ano nga arero katoa;

I have sworn by myself; the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow; every tongue shall swear.

24 K a mea mai tetahi ki ahau, Kei a Ihowa anake te tika, te kaha: ka haere mai ki a ia nga tangata, a ko nga tangata katoa i riri ki a ia ka whakama.

And unto me he shall say, Surely in the LORD is the righteousness and the strength; until he shall come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

25 M a Ihowa ka tika ai, ka whakamanamana ai te uri katoa o Iharaira.

In the LORD shall all the generation of Israel be justified and shall glory.
