53:1 ¶ Ko wai i whakapono ki ta matou korero; i whakaaturia ranei ki a wai te ringaringa o Ihowa?

53:2 Ka tupu ake hoki ia ki tona aroaro, ano he rakau wana, me te pakiaka hoki i te oneone maroke, kahore ona ahuareka, kahore hoki he pai; a ka titiro tatou ki a ia, te ai he ataahua e minamina ai tatou ki a ia.

53:3 I whakahengia, i whakakahoretia ia e te tangata; he tangata pouri, kua mohio hoki ki te tangi: a, i ahua huna nga kanohi ki a ia; i whakakahoretia, kihai hoki tatou i whakaaro ki a ia.

53:4 ¶ He pono, nana o tatou mate i pikau, nana hoki i waha o tatou pouri: ko tatou ia i mea, i tukitukia, i patua ia e te Atua, i whakawhiua.

53:5 Kahore, i werohia ia mo o tatou he, i kurua mo o tatou kino: nona te whiunga i mau ai to tatou rongo, kei ona karawarawa hoki he rongoa mo tatou.

53:6 Ko tatou katoa, ano he hipi, kua marara ke, kua anga atu tatou ki tona ara, ki tona ara; na Ihowa ia i mea kia tau iho ki a ia te kino o tatou katoa.

53:7 I tukinotia ia, i whakawhiua; heoi kihai i kuihi tona mangai: ano he reme i arahina ia kia patua, me te hipi hoki i te aroaro o ona kaikutikuti e wahangu ana, kihai i kuihi tona waha.

53:8 Na te tukino, na te whakawa, tangohia atu ana ia; tena ko tona whakatupuranga, ko wai o ratou i whakaaro kua wehea atu ia i te ao ora? he mahi he hoki na taku iwi i patua ai ia.

53:9 A ka whakaritea hei te hunga kino he urupa mona; i te tangata taonga ia i tona matenga; ahakoa kahore ana mahi tutu, kahore ano he tinihanga i tona mangai.

53:10 ¶ Otiia i pai hoki a Ihowa kia kurua ia; nana ia i mea kia mamae. Ina meinga e koe tona wairua hei whakahere mo te he, ka kite ia i tona uri, ka whakaroa i ona ra, a ko ta Ihowa i pai ai ka ata oti i a ia.

53:11 Ka kite ia i ta tona wairua i uaua ai, a tatu ana te ngakau: ma te mohio ki a ia ka whakatikaia ai te tini e taku pononga tika; mana hoki o ratou kino e waha.
