1 But now thus saith Jehovah that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead. 4 Since thou hast been precious in my sight, and honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life. 5 Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth; 7 every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made.

8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. 9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, It is truth. 10 Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11 I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour. 12 I have declared, and I have saved, and I have showed; and there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and I am God. 13 Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who can hinder it?

14 Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing. 15 I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. 16 Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; 17 who bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick): 18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 20 The beasts of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen, 21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

22 Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. 23 Thou hast not brought me of thy sheep for burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honored me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense. 24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast burdened me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins. 26 Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth thy cause, that thou mayest be justified. 27 Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. 28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling.

1 Na inaianei ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a tou kaihanga, e Hakopa, a tou kaiwhakaahua, e Iharaira, Kaua e wehi: kua oti nei hoki koe te hoko e ahau, kua karangatia e ahau tou ingoa; naku koe.

2 Ka haere koe i roto i te wai, ko ahau hei hoa mou; i nga awa ano, e kore e huri mai ki runga i a koe; ki te haere koe i roto i te ahi, e kore koe e wera, e kore ano te mura e ka ki a koe.

3 Ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko tou Atua, ko te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, ko tou kaiwhakaora: i hoatu e ahau a Ihipa hei utu mou, a Etiopia raua ko Tepa hei wahi mou.

4 I te mea he taonga nui koe ki taku titiro, he mea e whakahonoretia ana, a i arohaina koe e ahau; mo reira ka hoatu e ahau he tangata mo tou turanga, he iwi hoki hei utu mou kia ora.

5 Kaua e wehi: kei a koe nei hoki ahau: ka kawea mai e ahau ou uri i te rawhiti, ka kohikohia mai koe i te uru.

6 Ka mea ahau ki te raki, Homai; ki te tonga, Kaua e kaiponuhia: kawea mai aku tama i tawhiti, aku tamahine i te pito o te whenua;

7 Te hunga katoa i huaina nei toku ingoa mo ratou: naku hoki ratou i hanga hei whakakororia moku: naku ia i whakaahua, naku hoki ia i mahi.

8 Whakaputaina mai nga matapo he kanohi nei o ratou, nga turi he taringa nei o ratou.

9 Kia huihui nga iwi katoa, kia rupeke tahi nga tauiwi: ko wai i roto i a ratou hei whakaatu i tenei, hei korero i nga mea o mua ki a tatou? kia homai e ratou o ratou kaiwhakaatu, kia whakatikaia atu ai ta ratou: ma ratou ranei e whakarongo, e mea mai, He pono.

10 Ko koutou hei whakaatu mo taku, e ai ta Ihowa, me taku pononga i whiriwhiria e ahau, kia mohio ai koutou, kia whakapono ai ki taku, kia matau ai ko ahau ia, kahore he Atua i whakaahuatia i mua i ahau, kahore hoki tetahi i muri i ahau.

11 Ko ahau, ko ahau nei ano, a Ihowa; kahore atu hoki he kaiwhakaora, ko ahau anake.

12 Naku i whakaatu, naku hoki i whakaora, naku ano i korero, i te mea kahore he atua ke i roto i a koutou: na ko koutou hei kaiwhakaatu moku, e ai ta Ihowa, a ko te Atua ahau.

13 Ae ra, i te mea kahore ano he ra ko ahau tenei; e kore hoki tetahi e whakaora ake i roto i toku ringa: maku e mahi, ko wai hoki hei whakakahore?

14 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a to koutou kaihoko, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, He whakaaro ki a koutou i unga tangata ai ahau ki Papurona, a ka mauria mai e ahau ratou katoa, he mawhiti mai, ara nga Karari i runga i nga kaipuke i harakoa ai ratou.

15 Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Mea Tapu, ko te kaihanga o Iharaira, ko to koutou Kingi.

16 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa nana nei i homai te ara i te moana, te huarahi i roto i nga wai kaha;

17 Nana nei i whakaputa mai te hariata, te hoiho, te ope, me te kaha; takoto tahi ana ratou, te ara ki runga: kua keto ratou, kua tineia, ano he muka.

18 Kaua e mahara ki nga mea o mua; ko nga mea onamata kaua e whakaaroa.

19 Tenei ahau te mahi nei i te mea hou; akuanei te tupu ai: e kore ranei e mohiotia e koutou? ka oti i ahau he ara i te koraha, he awa i te titohea.

20 Ka whakakororiatia ahau e nga kararehe o te parae, e nga kirehe mohoao, e nga otereti; no te mea ka hoatu e ahau he wai i te koraha, he awa i te titohea, hei inu ma taku iwi, ma taku i whiriwhiri ai;

21 Ma te iwi i whakaahuatia e ahau maku, ma ratou e kauwhau te whakamoemiti moku.

22 Na kihai nei koe i karanga ki ahau, e Hakopa; kua hoha koe ki ahau e Iharaira.

23 Kihai i kawea mai e koe ki ahau au hipi hei tahunga tinana; kihai ano ahau i whakakororiatia ki au patunga tapu. Kahore aku whakamahi i a koe ki te whakahere, kihai ano koe i ngenge, i te meatanga i te whakakakara.

24 Kihai i hokona e koe he kakaho reka maku ki te moni, kihai hoki ahau i makona i te ngako o au patunga tapu; engari i whakamahia ahau e koe ki ou hara, mauiui ana ahau i au mahi he.

25 Ko ahau, ko ahau nei ano, te kaimuru atu i ou he, he whakaaro ano ki ahau: e kore ano ou hara e maharatia e ahau.

26 Whakamaharatia ahau; tatou ka whakawa ki a tatou ano; korerotia e koe tau, kia whakatikaia ai koe.

27 Ko tou papa tuatahi, i hara; ko ou kaiwhakaako, whakakeke ana ki ahau.

28 Na reira whakapokea iho e ahau nga rangatira o te wahi tapu, a hoatu ana e ahau a Hakopa ki te kanga, a Iharaira ki te tawai.
