1 E rapua ana ahau e te hunga kihai nei i ui ki ahau; e kitea ana ahau e te hunga kihai nei i kimi i ahau: i mea ahau, Tenei ahau, tenei ahau, ki te iwi kihai nei i karangatia toku ingoa ki a ratou.

¶ I was sought of those that did not ask for me; I was found of those that did not seek me; I said, Here I am, Here I am, unto a people that did not invoke my name.

2 T uwhera tonu oku ringa i te ra roa nei ki te iwi tutu e haere nei i te ara kahore i pai, e whai ana i o ratou whakaaro ake,

I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, who walk in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;

3 K i te iwi he whakapataritari tonu nei ta ratou ki ahau ki toku aroaro, he patu whakahere i roto i nga kari, he tahu whakakakara ki runga ki nga aata pereki;

a people that provokes me to anger continually to my face; that sacrifices in gardens, and burns incense upon altars of brick;

4 E noho nei i nga urupa, e moe ana i roto i nga wahi ngaro; e kai ana i te kikokiko poaka, a he hupa no nga mea whakarihariha kei roto i a ratou oko.

who remain asleep among the graves, and lodge in the deserts, who eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

5 K o ta ratou kupu, Tu atu, kaua e whakatata ki ahau; he tapu rawa hoki ahau i a koe. He paowa enei ki toku ihu, he ahi e ka ana, a pau noa te ra.

who say, Stand by thyself, do not come near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.

6 N ana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki toku aroaro; e kore ahau e whakarongo puku; ae ra, ka utua e ahau, ka utua ki roto ki o ratou uma,

Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

7 A ra o koutou kino, hui atu ki nga kino o o koutou matua, e ai ta Ihowa, i tahu whakakakara nei ki runga ki nga maunga, i whakaiti nei i ahau i runga i nga pukepuke: mo reira ka matua mehuatia atu e ahau ta ratou mahi ki to ratou uma.

For your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, who have burned incense upon the mountains and blasphemed me upon the hills; therefore, I will measure their former work into their bosom.

8 K o te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka rite ki te waina hou e kitea ana i roto i te tautau, a ka kiia, Kaua e whakakorea, he manaaki hoki kei roto; ka pera ano taku e mea ai, he whakaaro ki aku pononga, kei kore ratou katoa.

¶ Thus has the LORD said, As when one has found new wine in a cluster and says, Do not destroy it; for a blessing is in it; so will I do for my slaves’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

9 K a whakaputaina ake ano e ahau he uri i roto i a Hakopa, i roto hoki i a Hura, he tangata mona nei aku maunga: ka riro ano a reira i aku i whiriwhiri ai, ka noho aku pononga ki reira.

And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my elect shall possess the land for an inheritance, and my slaves shall dwell there.

10 A hei puninga hipi a Harono, hei tapapatanga te raorao i Akoro mo nga kau a taku iwi i rapu nei i ahau.

And Sharon shall be for a fold of flocks and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.

11 K o koutou ia kua whakarere i a Ihowa, kua wareware ki toku maunga tapu, kua whakapaia e koutou he tepu ma Kara, whakakiia ana e koutou he ringihanga ki a Meni;

¶ But ye that forsake the LORD, that forget the mountain of my holiness, that prepare a table unto fortune, and that furnish the drink offering for destiny;

12 K a tukua atu koutou e ahau ma te hoari, ka tuohu koutou katoa, ka tukitukia: no te mea i karanga ahau, a kihai koutou i whakao mai, i korero ahau, a kihai koutou i whakarongo; heoi mahia ana e koutou te kino ki taku tirohanga, whiriwhiria ana e koutou te mea kihai i paingia e ahau.

I also will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter because when I called, ye did not respond; I spoke, and ye did not hear, but did evil before my eyes and did choose that which displeased me.

13 N a ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana, ko aku pononga, ka kai ratou, ko koutou ia ka matekai: nana, ko aku pononga, ka inu ratou, ko koutou ia ka matewai; nana, ko aku pononga, ka koa ratou, ko koutou ia ka whakama:

Therefore thus has the Lord GOD said, Behold, my slaves shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; behold, my slaves shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; behold, my slaves shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:

14 N ana, ko aku pononga, ka waiata ratou he koa no te ngakau, ko koutou ia ka tangi i te pouri o te ngakau, ka aue i te maru o te wairua.

Behold, my slaves shall rejoice by the joy of their heart, but ye shall cry for the sorrow of your heart and shall howl for the destruction of spirit.

15 A ka waiho ano e koutou to koutou ingoa hei kanga ma aku i whiriwhiri ai, a ka whakamatea koutou e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ka huaina hoki e ia he ingoa ke ki ana pononga:

And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen; for the Lord GOD shall slay thee and call his slaves by another name.

16 K ia waiho te tangata e manaaki ana i a ia ano i te whenua, mana ia e manaaki i runga i te Atua o te pono; ko te tangata hoki e oati ana i te whenua, ko te Atua o te pono hei oati mana; no te mea ka warewaretia nga raru o mua, a no te mea kei te huna atu i oku kanohi.

He who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth because the former troubles shall be forgotten and shall be covered from my eyes.

17 T enei hoki ahau kei te hanga i nga rangi hou, i te whenua hou; e kore ano o mua e maharatia, e kore ano e puta ake ki te ngakau.

¶ For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

18 E ngari kia koa koutou, kia whakamanamana ki taku e hanga nei ake ake; no te mea tenei ahau te hanga nei i Hiruharama hei whakamanamananga, i tona iwi ano hei koanga ngakau.

But ye shall be glad and rejoice from age to age in the things which I shall create; for, behold, I create joy unto Jerusalem and unto her people joy.

19 K a whakamanamana ano ahau ki Hiruharama, ka koa ki taku iwi: e kore ano e rangona i muri te reo e tangi ana, te reo e aue ana i roto i a ia.

And I will be glad with Jerusalem and rejoice with my people: and the voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

20 K ahore o reira kohungahunga he torutoru nei ona ra ake ake, kahore he koroheke kihai i rite ona ra; no te mea kotahi rau nga tau o te taitamariki i tona matenga; ko te tangata hara ia, kotahi rau nei ona tau, he mea kanga.

There shall no longer be there an infant of days, nor an old man that has not filled his days, for the child shall die one hundred years old; and he who sins at one hundred years of age shall be accursed.

21 K a hanga whare ano ratou, nohoia iho, ka whakatokia he mara waina, ka kainga ano nga hua.

And they shall build houses and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.

22 E kore e hanga e ratou hei nohoanga iho mo te tangata ke, e kore e whakatokia hei kai ma tetahi atu tangata: no te mea ka rite nga ra o taku iwi ki nga ra o te rakau, a ka roa aku i whiriwhiri ai e ahuareka ana ki te mahi a o ratou ringa.

They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of the trees shall be the days of my people, and my elect shall perpetuate the work of their hands.

23 E kore ratou e mauiui noa, e kore e whanau hei mate; no te mea he uri ratou no a Ihowa i manaaki ai, ratou tahi ano ko ta ratou whanau.

They shall not labour in vain, nor give birth with fear; for their births are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring shall be with them.

24 K ahore ano ratou kia karanga noa, kua whakao atu ahau; i a ratou ano e korero ana, ka rongo ahau.

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

25 K o te wuruhi, ko te reme, ka kai tahi raua; ko te raiona, ka rite ki te kau, ka kai kakau witi; ko te nakahi, ko te peuhu hei kai mana. E kore ratou e tukino, e whakamate, puta noa i toku maunga tapu, e ai ta Ihowa.

The wolf and the lamb shall be fed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not afflict nor do evil in all my holy mountain, said the LORD.
