1 S ing, O barren, she hath not borne! Break forth with singing, and cry aloud, She hath not brought forth! For more the sons of the desolate, Than the sons of the married one, said Jehovah.

Waiata, e te pakoko, e koe kahore ano nei i whanau: kia pakaru mai te waiata, hamama, e koe kahore ano kia whakamamae: he tini hoki nga tamariki a te noho kau i nga tamariki a te mea whai hoa, e ai ta Ihowa.

2 E nlarge the place of thy tent, And the curtains of thy tabernacles they stretch out, Restrain not -- lengthen thy cords, And thy pins make strong.

Kia rahi atu te turanga mo tou teneti; kia maro hoki nga uhi o ou nohoanga: aua e kaiponuhia; kia roa ou taura, kia u hoki ou poupou.

3 F or right and left thou breakest forth, And thy seed doth nations possess,

Ka tohatoha noa atu hoki koe ki matau, ki maui; a ka riro nga tauiwi i ou uri; ma ratou ano ka nohoia ai nga pa kua ururuatia.

4 A nd desolate cities they cause to be inhabited. Fear not, for thou art not ashamed, Nor blush, for thou art not confounded, For the shame of thy youth thou forgettest, And the reproach of thy widowhood Thou dost not remember any more.

Kaua e wehi; ta te mea e kore koe e whakama; kaua ano e numinumi, ta te mea e kore koe e whakama; no te mea ka wareware i a koe te whakama o tou tamahinetanga; a heoi ano maharatanga ki te ingoa kino o tou pouarutanga.

5 F or thy Maker thy husband, Jehovah of Hosts His name, And thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel, `God of all the earth,' He is called.

Ko tou Kaihanga tau tahu; ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa; ko te Mea Tapu hoki o Iharaira tou kaiwhakaora; ko te Atua o te whenua katoa ka huaina ki a ia.

6 F or, as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, Called thee hath Jehovah, Even a youthful wife when she is refused, said thy God.

No te mea kua karanga a Ihowa ki a koe, ano he wahine kua whakarerea, kua pouri te ngakau, ano he hoa wahine o te taitamarikitanga, i te mea kua mahue, e ai ta tou Atua.

7 I n a small moment I have forsaken thee, And in great mercies I do gather thee,

He iti te wahi i mahue ai koe i ahau; he nui ia nga atawhainga e kohikohi ai ahau i a koe.

8 I n overflowing wrath I hid my face a moment from thee, And in kindness age-during I have loved thee, Said thy Redeemer -- Jehovah!

He riri puhake, i huna ahau i toku kanohi i a koe, he wahi iti; he aroha mau tonu ia toku e aroha ai ki a koe, e ai ta Ihowa, ta tou kaiwhakaora.

9 F or, the waters of Noah this to Me, In that I have sworn -- the waters of Noah Do not pass again over the earth -- So I have sworn, Wrath is not upon thee, Nor rebuke against thee.

He penei hoki tenei ki ahau me nga wai i a Noa; i ahau i oati ra, e kore e hurihia ano te whenua e nga wai i a Noa: waihoki ka oati nei ahau, e kore ahau e riri ki a koe, e kore ano e whakatupehupehu ki a koe.

10 F or the mountains depart, and the hills remove, And My kindness from thee departeth not, And the covenant of My peace removeth not, Said hath thy loving one -- Jehovah.

Ko nga maunga hoki ka riro ke, ko nga pukepuke ka nekehia atu; tena ko toku aroha e kore e rere ke i a koe, e kore ano e nekehia ketia te kawenata e mau ai taku rongo; e ai ta Ihowa e atawhai nei i a koe.

11 O afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, Lo, I am laying with cement thy stones, And have founded thee with sapphires,

E koe, kua whakawhiua nei, kua puhia nei e te awha! kahore ano i whakamarietia, nana, maku ou kohatu e whakatakoto, he pai hoki te kakano; ka hanga ano e ahau ou turanga ki te hapira.

12 A nd have made of agate thy pinnacles, And thy gates of carbuncle stones, And all thy border of stones of delight,

Ka hanga ano e ahau ou tihi ki te rupi, ou tatau ki te karapanaka, ou rohe katoa ano ki nga kohatu whakapaipai.

13 A nd all thy sons are taught of Jehovah, And abundant the peace of thy sons.

A ka whakaakona e Ihowa au tamariki katoa; ka nui hoki te rangimarie ki au tamariki.

14 I n righteousness thou establishest thyself, Be far from oppression, for thou fearest not, And from ruin, for it cometh not near unto thee.

Ka whakaturia koe ki runga ki te tika, ka whakamataratia atu i a koe te tukino; e kore hoki koe e wehi; e kore ano te pawera e tata ki a koe.

15 L o, he doth diligently assemble without My desire, Who hath assembled near thee? By thee he falleth!

Nana, huihui noa ratou, ehara ia i te mea naku: ko te tangata e huihui ana ki te whawhai ki a koe ka papahoro, he mea mou.

16 L o, I -- I have prepared an artizan, Blowing on a fire of coals, And bringing out an instrument for his work, And I have prepared a destroyer to destroy.

Nana, naku i hanga te parakimete e pupuhi nei i te ahi waro, e mau nei i te mea hei mahi mana; naku hoki te kaihuna i hanga hei whakamoti.

17 N o weapon formed against thee prospereth, And every tongue rising against thee, In judgment thou condemnest. This the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, And their righteousness from me, an affirmation of Jehovah!

E kore tetahi patu e hanga ana mou e marohirohi: ko nga arero katoa e whakatika mai ana ki a koe ki te whakawa, mau ano e whakahe. Ko ta nga pononga a Ihowa tenei, tuku iho, tuku iho; naku hoki ratou i tika ai, e ai ta Ihowa.
