1 N o te mea, nana, i aua ra, i taua wa e whakahokia ai e ahau a Hura raua ko Hiruharama i te whakarau,

For lo, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

2 K a huihuia e ahau nga iwi katoa, ka kawea ki raro ki te raorao o Iehohapata; a ka tohe ahau ki a ratou ki reira mo taku iwi, mo toku kainga tupu, mo Iharaira i whakamararatia nei e ratou ki roto ki nga iwi, a wawahia ana e ratou toku whenua.

Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go down unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been judged with them there, Concerning My people and Mine inheritance -- Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they have apportioned.

3 A kua maka rota ratou mo taku iwi; a kua hoatu e ratou te tama hei utu mo te wahine kairau, a kua hokona e ratou he kotiro ki te waina, hei inu ma ratou.

And for My people they do cast a lot, And they give the young man for an harlot, And the young woman have sold for wine, That they may drink.

4 A e ra, he aha koutou ki ahau, e Taira, e Hairona, e nga rohe katoa o Pirihitia? e homai ranei e koutou he utu ki ahau? na ki te homai e koutou he utu ki ahau, hohoro tonu, kakama tonu taku whakahoki i te utu ki runga ki to koutou mahunga.

And also, what ye to Me, O Tyre and Zidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Recompence are ye rendering unto Me? And if ye are giving recompence to Me, Swiftly, hastily, I turn back your recompence on your head.

5 M o koutou i tango i taku hiriwa, i taku koura, a kawea ana e koutou aku mea pai e matenuitia ana ki roto ki o koutou temepara;

In that My silver and My gold ye took, And My desirable things that are good, Ye have brought in to your temples.

6 A hokona ana e koutou nga tama a Hura, nga tama o Hiruharama, ki nga tama a nga Kariki, kia matara atu ai ratou i to ratou rohe:

And sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, Ye have sold to the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border.

7 N ana, ka ara mai ratou i ahau i te wahi i hokona atu ai ratou e koutou, ka meinga ano e ahau kia hoki to koutou utu ki runga ki o koutou mahunga;

Lo, I am stirring them up out of the place Whither ye have sold them, And I have turned back your recompence on your head,

8 K a hokona ano e ahau a koutou tama, a koutou tamahine, ki te ringa o nga tama a Hura, a ma ratou e hoko ki nga tangata o Hepa, ki te iwi i tawhiti: na Ihowa hoki te kupu.

And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Shabeans, Unto a nation far off, for Jehovah hath spoken.

9 K arangatia tenei e koutou i roto i nga tauiwi; kia rite nga mea mo te whawhai, whakaohokia nga marohirohi, kia whakatata mai nga tangata whawhai katoa, kia haere mai ratou.

Proclaim ye this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come nigh, come up, let all the men of war.

10 P atupatua a koutou hea parau hei hoari, a koutou toronaihi hei tao; me ki ake te ngoikore, He kaha ahau.

Beat your ploughshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, `I mighty.'

11 K ia hohoro, ka haere mai, e nga tauiwi katoa tawhio noa, ka huihui i a koutou: meinga kia heke iho au marohirohi ki reira, e Ihowa.

Haste, and come in, all ye nations round, And be gathered together, Thither cause to come down, O Jehovah, Thy mighty ones.

12 K ia whakaohokia nga tauiwi, kia haere hoki ratou ki te raorao o Iehohapata: ka noho hoki ahau ki reira ki te whakawa mo nga tauiwi katoa a taka noa.

Wake and come up let the nations unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.

13 K uhua te toronaihi ki roto, kua pakari hoki te witi: haere mai, takahia; kua ki hoki te poka waina, purena tonu nga waka waina; he nui hoki to ratou kino.

Send ye forth a sickle, For ripened hath harvest, Come in, come down, for filled hath been the press, Overflowed hath wine-presses, For great their wickedness.

14 H e tini, he tini whaioio kei te raorao whakaoti tikanga! kua tata nei hoki te ra o Ihowa i te raorao whakaoti tikanga.

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision, For near the day of Jehovah in the valley of decision.

15 K a pouri te ra me te marama, ka kore ano te titi o nga whetu.

Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.

16 A ka hamama a Ihowa i Hiona, ka puaki tona reo i Hiruharama; a ka wiri nga rangi me te whenua; otira ko Ihowa he piringa mo tona iwi, he pa kaha mo nga tama a Iharaira.

And Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And shaken have the heavens and earth, And Jehovah a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to sons of Israel.

17 A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua e noho nei i Hiona, i toku maunga tapu: katahi a Hiruharama ka tapu, a heoi ano haereerenga o nga tautangata i reira.

And ye have known that I Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem hath been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.

18 I taua ra ka maturuturu iho te waina hou o nga maunga, ka rerengia nga pukepuke e te waiu, ka rere nga wai o nga awa katoa o Hura; a ka pupu mai he puna i roto i te whare o Ihowa, hei whakamakuku i te raorao o Hitimi.

And it hath come to pass, in that day, Drop down do the mountains juice, And the hills do flow milk, And all streams of Judah do go water, And a fountain from the house of Jehovah goeth forth, And hath watered the valley of Shittim.

19 H ei ururua a Ihipa, hei koraha a Eroma, ururua rawa, mo te mahi tutu ki nga tama a Hura, mo ta ratou whakaheke i te toto harakore ki to ratou whenua.

Egypt a desolation becometh, And Edom a desolation, a wilderness, becometh, For violence sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land.

20 K a noho tonu ia a Hura ake ake, a Hiruharama, a tera whakatupuranga, tera whakatupuranga.

And Judah to the age doth dwell, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.

21 K a ma ano i ahau to ratou toto kihai i ma i ahau: e noho ana hoki a Ihowa ki Hiona.

And I have declared their blood innocent, I did not declare innocent, And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion!
