Isaiah 32
Maori Bible
32 Nana, ka kingi te kingi i runga i te tika, ka whakahaere tikanga ano nga rangatira i runga i te whakawa.
2 A ka ai he tangata hei kuhunga ina pa te hau, hei piringa kei mate i te tupuhi; ka rite ki nga awa wai i te wahi maroke, ki te ata o te kohatu nui i te whenua ngaunga ra.
3 Na e kore e atarua nga kanohi o te hunga kite; ka whakarongo ano te hunga i te taringa rongo.
4 Ka matauria ano te matauranga e te ngakau o te hunga ponana, a ka hohoro te arero o nga reo kikiki ki te korero marama.
5 E kore te wairangi e kiia i muri he ohaoha, e kore ano te kaiponu e kiia he atawhai.
6 Ka korero hoki te tangata nanakia i te nanakia, a ka mahi tona ngakau i te kino, kia whakahawea ai ki te tapu, kia puta ke ai tana korero ki a Ihowa, kia noho tahanga ai i a ia te wairua o te tangata matekai, kia moti ai hoki he wai mo te tangata matewai.
7 He kino hoki nga hanga a te kaiponu: e whakatakotoria ana e ia he whakaaro kino, he korero teka e he ai te hunga iti, ahakoa e tika ana ano nga korero a te rawakore.
8 He ohaoha ia nga tikanga a te ohaoha; a ka u ia ki nga mahi ohaoha.
9 Whakatika e nga wahine e noho pai ana, whakarongo ki toku reo: e nga tamahine whakaarokore, kia whai taringa ki aku kupu.
10 He maha nga ra i tua atu i te tau e raruraru ai koutou, e nga wahine maharakore: no te mea ka kore te whakinga waina, e kore hoki e tae mai te kohikohinga.
11 E wiri, e nga wahine e noho humarie ana; pokaikaha noa iho, e te hunga maharakore; whakarerea nga kakahu, noho tahanga, whitikiria he kakahu taratara ki o koutou hope.
12 Ka papaki ratou ki nga uma mo nga mara ataahua, mo te waina hua.
13 Ka puta ake te tataramoa me te tumatakuru ki te oneone o taku iwi, ina, ki runga ki nga whare koa katoa o te pa hari:
14 No te mea ka mahue te whare kingi, ka whakarerea te pa tokomaha: ko te puke me te pourewa ka waiho hei ana a ake ake, hei mea e koa ai nga kaihe mohoao, hei wahi kai ma nga kahui;
15 Kia ringihia mai ra ano i runga te wairua ki a tatou, kia meinga ra ano te koraha hei mara whai hua, kia kiia ano te mara whai hua he ngahere.
16 Ko reira te whakawa noho ai ki te koraha, a hei kainga te mara hua mo te tika.
17 A ko te mahi a te tika he rongo mau; ko te whakaotinga o te tika he ata noho, he ngakau u a ake ake.
18 Ka noho hoki taku iwi ki te nohoanga o te rongo mau, ki nga kainga e u ai te ngakau, ki nga okiokinga humarie.
19 Ka tarere iho ia te whatu i te hinganga o te ngahere; a ka whakahoroa rawatia te pa ki raro.
20 Ano te hari o koutou, o te hunga e whakato ana ki te taha o nga wai katoa, e tuku atu ana i nga waewae o te kau, o te kaihe.

A King Will Reign in Righteousness
32 Behold, (A)a king will reign in righteousness,
and princes will rule in justice.
2 (B)Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,
a shelter from the storm,
(C)like streams of water in a dry place,
like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
3 (D)Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will give attention.
4 The heart of the hasty will understand and know,
(E)and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly.
5 (F)The fool will no more be called noble,
nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.
6 For (G)the fool speaks folly,
and his heart is busy with iniquity,
to practice ungodliness,
to utter error concerning the Lord,
(H)to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
7 As for the scoundrel—(I)his devices are evil;
he plans wicked schemes
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.
8 But he who is noble plans noble things,
and on noble things he stands.
Complacent Women Warned of Disaster
9 (J)Rise up, you women (K)who are at ease, hear my voice;
you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
10 In little more than a year
you will shudder, you complacent women;
for the grape harvest fails,
the fruit harvest will not come.
11 Tremble, you women (L)who are at ease,
shudder, you complacent ones;
(M)strip, and make yourselves bare,
(N)and tie sackcloth around your waist.
12 (O)Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vine,
13 (P)for the soil of my people
growing up in thorns and briers,
(Q)yes, for all the joyous houses
in the exultant city.
14 For the palace is forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
(R)a joy of wild donkeys,
a pasture of flocks;
15 until (S)the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
and (T)the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.
16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
17 (U)And the effect of righteousness will be peace,
and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust[a] forever.
18 My people will abide in a peaceful habitation,
in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
19 (V)And it will hail when the forest falls down,
(W)and the city will be utterly laid low.
20 (X)Happy are you who sow beside all waters,
who let the feet of the ox and the donkey range free.

New International Version
The Kingdom of Righteousness
32 See, a king(A) will reign in righteousness
and rulers will rule with justice.(B)
2 Each one will be like a shelter(C) from the wind
and a refuge from the storm,(D)
like streams of water(E) in the desert(F)
and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,(G)
and the ears(H) of those who hear will listen.
4 The fearful heart will know and understand,(I)
and the stammering tongue(J) will be fluent and clear.
5 No longer will the fool(K) be called noble
nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 For fools speak folly,(L)
their hearts are bent on evil:(M)
They practice ungodliness(N)
and spread error(O) concerning the Lord;
the hungry they leave empty(P)
and from the thirsty they withhold water.
7 Scoundrels use wicked methods,(Q)
they make up evil schemes(R)
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy(S) is just.(T)
8 But the noble make noble plans,
and by noble deeds(U) they stand.(V)
The Women of Jerusalem
9 You women(W) who are so complacent,
rise up and listen(X) to me;
you daughters who feel secure,(Y)
hear what I have to say!
10 In little more than a year(Z)
you who feel secure will tremble;
the grape harvest will fail,(AA)
and the harvest of fruit will not come.
11 Tremble,(AB) you complacent women;
shudder, you daughters who feel secure!(AC)
Strip off your fine clothes(AD)
and wrap yourselves in rags.(AE)
12 Beat your breasts(AF) for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vines(AG)
13 and for the land of my people,
a land overgrown with thorns and briers(AH)—
yes, mourn(AI) for all houses of merriment
and for this city of revelry.(AJ)
14 The fortress(AK) will be abandoned,
the noisy city deserted;(AL)
citadel and watchtower(AM) will become a wasteland forever,
the delight of donkeys,(AN) a pasture for flocks,(AO)
15 till the Spirit(AP) is poured on us from on high,
and the desert becomes a fertile field,(AQ)
and the fertile field seems like a forest.(AR)
16 The Lord’s justice(AS) will dwell in the desert,(AT)
his righteousness(AU) live in the fertile field.
17 The fruit of that righteousness(AV) will be peace;(AW)
its effect will be quietness and confidence(AX) forever.
18 My people will live in peaceful(AY) dwelling places,
in secure homes,(AZ)
in undisturbed places of rest.(BA)
19 Though hail(BB) flattens the forest(BC)
and the city is leveled(BD) completely,
20 how blessed you will be,
sowing(BE) your seed by every stream,(BF)
and letting your cattle and donkeys range free.(BG)
