Isaiah 46
Maori Bible
46 Kua piko a Pere, kua tuohu a Nepo; kei runga i te kirehe, i te kararehe a ratou whakapakoko: ko nga mea e haria haeretia ana e koutou ka meinga hei kawenga, hei taimaha ki te kararehe mauiui ra.
2 Tuohu ana ratou, piko ngatahi ana; kihai i taea te pikaunga te pupuri, heoi ko ratou nei ano ka riro hei parau.
3 Whakarongo ki ahau, e te whare o Hakopa, e nga morehu katoa o te whare o Iharaira, he mea waha nei koutou naku no te kopu mai ano, he mea pikau no roto mai ra ano i te puku.
4 Tae noa atu ki to koutou koroheketanga ko ahau tenei, ka pikaua ano koutou e ahau a hina noa; naku i mahi, maku ano e mau, maku ano e pikau, maku ano e whakaora.
5 Ki ta koutou kei to wai he ahua moku? ko wai e rite ana ki ahau? me whakarite ahau ki a wai, e kotahi ai to maua ahua?
6 Ko te hunga e tahoro ana i te koura i te peke, e pauna ana i te hiriwa ki te pauna, kei te utu i te kaitahu koura, hanga ake e ia hei atua; tapapa ana ratou, koropiko ana.
7 Amohia ana ia e ratou i runga i te pokohiwi, pikaua ana, kua waiho e ratou ki tona wahi, tu ana ia; te taea e ia te nekeneke atu i tona wahi: ka karanga ano hoki tetahi ki a ia, heoi e kore ia e whakahoki kupu, e kore e whakaora i a ia i roto i t ona mate.
8 Mahara ki tenei, whakatane, whakahokia ki te ngakau, e te hunga poka ke.
9 Maharatia nga mea tuatahi onamata: ko ahau hoki te Atua, kahore ke atu; ko ahau te Atua, kahore hoki tetahi hei rite moku.
10 I te timatanga e whakaatu ana i nga mea o te mutunga, a i nga wa onamata ko nga mea kahore ano i meatia; i ki ahau, Ko te whakaaro i whakatakotoria e ahau mau tonu, ka oti ano i ahau taku katoa i pai ai.
11 Ka karangatia hoki e ahau he manu kai kino i te rawhiti, ko te tangata kei a ia toku whakaaro i te whenua tawhiti; ina, kua korerotia nei e ahau, ka whakaputaina ano e ahau; kua takoto i ahau, ka oti ano i ahau.
12 Whakarongo ki ahau, e te hunga ngakau pakari, e matara atu ana i te tika:
13 Ka kawea mai e ahau toku tika kia tata; e kore e matara atu; e kore ano taku whakaora e roa; ka whakawhiwhia ano e ahau a Hiona ki te whakaora, mo Iharaira, mo toku kororia.

Gods of Babylon
46 Bel(A) bows down, Nebo stoops low;
their idols(B) are borne by beasts of burden.[a]
The images that are carried(C) about are burdensome,
a burden for the weary.
2 They stoop and bow down together;
unable to rescue the burden,
they themselves go off into captivity.(D)
3 “Listen(E) to me, you descendants of Jacob,
all the remnant(F) of the people of Israel,
you whom I have upheld since your birth,(G)
and have carried(H) since you were born.(I)
4 Even to your old age and gray hairs(J)
I am he,(K) I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain(L) you and I will rescue you.
5 “With whom will you compare me or count me equal?
To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?(M)
6 Some pour out gold from their bags
and weigh out silver on the scales;
they hire a goldsmith(N) to make it into a god,
and they bow down and worship it.(O)
7 They lift it to their shoulders and carry(P) it;
they set it up in its place, and there it stands.
From that spot it cannot move.(Q)
Even though someone cries out to it, it cannot answer;(R)
it cannot save(S) them from their troubles.
8 “Remember(T) this, keep it in mind,
take it to heart, you rebels.(U)
9 Remember the former things,(V) those of long ago;(W)
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.(X)
10 I make known the end from the beginning,(Y)
from ancient times,(Z) what is still to come.(AA)
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,(AB)
and I will do all that I please.’
11 From the east I summon(AC) a bird of prey;(AD)
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that I will bring about;
what I have planned,(AE) that I will do.(AF)
12 Listen(AG) to me, you stubborn-hearted,(AH)
you who are now far from my righteousness.(AI)
13 I am bringing my righteousness(AJ) near,
it is not far away;
and my salvation(AK) will not be delayed.
I will grant salvation to Zion,(AL)
my splendor(AM) to Israel.
