< Jeremiah 20 >
1 When Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer and the chief official in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things,
Na ka rongo a Pahuru tama a Imere tohunga, tino kawana i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i a Heremaia e poropiti ana i enei mea.
2 he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put in the stocks at the Upper Gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
Katahi a Pahuru ka patu i a Heremaia poropiti, kuhuna ana e ia ki te here waewae i te kuwaha o runga o Pineamine, ki tera i te whare o Ihowa.
3 The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD does not call you Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.
Na i te aonga ake ka whakaputaina mai a Heremaia e Pahuru i te here waewae. Katahi a Heremaia ka mea ki a ia, Ehara a Pahuru i te ingoa i huaina e Ihowa mou, engari ko Makoro Mihapipi.
4 For this is what the LORD says: ‘I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies before your very eyes. And I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will carry them away to Babylon and put them to the sword.
No te mea ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka meinga koe e ahau hei whakawehi mou ano, mo ou hoa katoa ano hoki; ka hinga ratou i te hoari a o ratou hoariri, me te titiro ano ou kanohi: ka hoatu ano e ahau a Hura katoa ki te ringa o te kingi o Pap urona, a mana ratou e whakarau ki Papurona, e patu ki te hoari.
5 I will give away all the wealth of this city—all its products and valuables, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah—to their enemies. They will plunder them, seize them, and carry them off to Babylon.
Ka hoatu ano e ahau nga rawa katoa o tenei pa, me ana mea katoa i hua mai, me ana mea utu nui katoa, ae ra, me nga taonga katoa o nga kingi o Hura, ka hoatu e ahau ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri, a ka pahuatia e ratou, ka tangohia, ka maua hoki ki Papurona.
6 And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house, will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon, and there you will die and be buried—you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied these lies.’”
Na, ko koe, e Pahuru, koutou ko nga tangata katoa e noho ana i tou whare, ka riro koutou ki te whakarau: a ka tae koe ki Papurona, mate atu ki reira, tanumia atu ki reira, a koe me ou hoa aroha katoa, i poropiti teka atu na koe ki a ratou.
7 You have deceived me, O LORD, and I was deceived. You have overcome me and prevailed. I am a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me.
E Ihowa, nau ahau i hangarau, a raru ana ahau: he kaha rawa koe i ahau, a kua taea tau: kua waiho ahau hei whakakatanga i te ra katoa, kei te whakatoia ahau e te katoa.
8 For whenever I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and destruction. For the word of the LORD has become to me a reproach and derision all day long.
I oku korerotanga katoa hoki, ka hamama ahau; ka karanga ahau, He mahi nanakia, he pahua: no te mea kua waiho te kupu a Ihowa hei tawainga moku, hei whakatoinga, i te ra katoa.
9 If I say, “I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name,” His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones, and I become weary of holding it in, and I cannot prevail.
A ki te ki ahau, E kore ahau e whakahua i a ia, e kore ano hoki e korero i runga i tona ingoa a muri ake nei; na ka ka i roto i toku ngakau me te mea he ahi e ngiha ana, tutaki iho ki roto ki oku whenua, a ka ruha ahau i te koromaki, a kahore e t aea e ahau te pupuri.
10 For I have heard the whispering of many: “Terror is on every side! Report him; let us report him!” All my trusted friends watch for my fall: “Perhaps he will be deceived so that we may prevail against him and take our vengeance upon him.”
Kua rongo hoki ahau i te hahani a te tini, he whakawehi i nga taha katoa. Whakahengia, a ka whakahengia ia e matou, e ai ta oku hoa tapui katoa, te hunga e whanga ana i ahau kia tatu; tera pea ia e taea te whakawai, a ka kaha tatou ki a ia, a ka whiwhi tatou ki te utu i a ia.
11 But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.
Otiia kei ahau a Ihowa, ano he marohirohi, he mea whakamataku: na reira ka tutuki nga waewae o oku kaitukino, e kore hoki ta ratou e taea: tera e nui to ratou whakama, he whakama mau tonu, a e kore e warewarea, no te mea kihai i mahia ta ratou i runga i te whakaaro nui.
12 O LORD of Hosts, who examines the righteous, who sees the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.
Otiia, e Ihowa o nga mano, e whakamatautau nei i te tangata tika, e kite nei i nga whatumanawa, i te ngakau, tukua ahau kia kite i tau utu ki a ratou; kua whakakitea nei hoki e ahau ki a koe taku totohe.
13 Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! For He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of evildoers.
Waiata ki a Ihowa, whakamoemititia a Ihowa; kua whakaorangia nei hoki e ia te wairua o te rawakore i te ringa o nga kaimahi i te kino.
14 Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me never be blessed.
Kia kanga te rangi i whanau ai ahau; kaua e whakapaingia te ra i puta mai ai ahau i roto i toku whaea.
15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, saying, “A son is born to you,” bringing him great joy.
Kia kanga te tangata nana i kawe te korero ki toku papa, i mea, Kua whanau he tamaiti mau, he tane; meinga ana kia nui tona koa.
16 May that man be like the cities that the LORD overthrew without compassion. May he hear an outcry in the morning and a battle cry at noon,
Kia rite taua tangata ki nga pa i hurihia e Ihowa, kihai nei i ripenetatia e ia: kia rangona e ia te karanga i te ata, te hamama i te poutumarotanga;
17 because he did not kill me in the womb so that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb forever enlarged.
He kore nona kihai i whakamate i ahau i te putanga mai ano i te kopu; a kia waiho ai toku whaea hei urupa moku, kia mau tonu ai te hapu o tona kopu.
18 Why did I come out of the womb to see only trouble and sorrow, and to end my days in shame?
He aha ahau i puta mai ai i te kopu, kia kite i te raruraru, i te mauiui, kia poto ano oku ra i te whakama?
