< Jeremias 29 >
1 THUS SAITH THE LORD AGAINST THE PHILISTINES;
Ko nga kupu enei o te pukapuka i tukua e Heremaia poropiti i Hiruharama ki nga morehu o nga kaumatua i whakaraua atu nei, ki nga tohunga, ki nga poropiti, ki te iwi katoa i whakaraua atu e Nepukaneha i Hiruharama ki Papurona;
2 Behold, waters come up from the north, and shall become a sweeping torrent, and it shall sweep away the land, and its fulness; the city, and them that dwell in it: and men shall cry and all that dwell in the land shall howl,
I muri tenei i te haerenga atu o Kingi Hekonia i Hiruharama, ratou ko te kuini, ko nga unaka, ko nga rangatira o Hura, o Hiruharama, me nga kamura ratou ko nga parakimete;
3 at the sound of his rushing, at [the sound of] his hoofs, and at the rattling of his chariots, at the noise of his wheels: the fathers turned not to their children because of the weakness of their hands,
He mea kawe na Eraha tama a Hapana, raua ko Kemaria tama a Hirikia; he mea unga ano enei na Terekia kingi o Hura ki Papurona, ki a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona; i mea ia,
4 in the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines: and I will utterly destroy Tyre and Sidon and all the rest of their allies: for the Lord will destroy the remaining [inhabitants] of the islands.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, ki nga whakarau katoa, i meinga nei e ahau kia whakaraua atu i Hiruharama ki Papurona;
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ascalon is cast away, and the remnant of the Enakim.
Hanga he whare mo koutou, ka noho i roto; whakatokia he kari, ka kai i o ratou hua;
6 How long will you strike, O sword of the Lord? how long will it be ere you are quiet? return into your sheath, rest, and be removed.
Marenatia he wahine, kia whanau he tama, he tamahine ma koutou; meatia he wahine ma a koutou tama, tukua hoki a koutou tamahine ki te tane, kia whanau ai he tama, he tamahine ma ratou; a kia tini koutou ki reira, kaua hei torutoru.
7 How shall it be quiet, whereas the Lord has given it a commission against Ascalon, and against the regions on the sea-coast, to awake against the remaining [countries]! CONCERNING IDUMEA, thus says the Lord; There is no longer wisdom in Thaeman, counsel has perished from the wise ones, their wisdom is gone,
Rapua hoki te rongo mau mo te pa kua meinga na koutou e ahau kia whakaraua ki reira, inoi hoki ki a Ihowa mo reira; ma te mau hoki o tona rongo ka whiwhi ai koutou ki te rangimarie.
8 their place has been deceived. Dig deep for a dwelling, you that inhabit Daedam, for he has wrought grievously: I brought trouble upon him in the time at which I visited him.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Kei tinihangatia koutou e a koutou poropiti, e a koutou tohunga tuaahu e noho na i roto i a koutou, kaua hoki e rongo ki a koutou moe e meinga na e koutou kia moea.
9 For grape gatherers are come, who shall not leave you a remnant; as thieves by night, they shall lay their hand upon [your possessions].
No te mea e poropiti teka ana ratou ki a koutou i runga i toku ingoa: ehara ratou i te mea naku i unga, e ai ta Ihowa.
10 For I have stripped Esau, I have uncovered their secret places; they shall have no power to hide themselves, they have perished [each] by the hand of his brother, my neighbour, and it is impossible
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Kia rite nga tau e whitu tekau ki Papurona, ka tirohia koutou e ahau; a ka whakatutukitia e ahau taku kupu pai ki a koutou, mo koutou kia whakahokia mai ki tenei wahi.
11 for your fatherless one to be left to live, but I shall live, and the widows trust in me.
Kei te mohio hoki ahau ki nga whakaaro e whakaaro nei ahau ki a koutou, e ai ta Ihowa, he whakaaro mo te rongo mau, ehara mo te kino, kia hoatu te tumanako ki a koutou i o koutou ra whakamutunga.
12 For thus says the Lord; They who were not appointed to drink the cup have drunk [it]; and you shall by no means be cleared:
A tera koutou e karanga ki ahau, a ka haere koutou ka inoi ki ahau, a ka rongo ahau ki a koutou.
13 for by myself I have sworn, says the Lord, that you shall be in the midst of her an impassable [land], and a reproach, and a curse; and all her cities shall be desert for ever.
Ka rapua ano ahau e koutou, a ka kitea e koutou, ina whakapaua o koutou ngakau ki te rapu i ahau.
14 I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent messengers to the nations, [saying, ]Assemble yourselves, and come against her; rise you up to war.
A ka kitea ahau e koutou, e ai ta Ihowa, ka whakahokia hoki e ahau to koutou whakaraunga, a ka kohikohia koutou e ahau i roto i nga iwi katoa, i nga wahi katoa i peia atu ai koutou e ahau, e ai ta Ihowa; a ka whakahokia mai koutou e ahau ki te w ahi i whakaraua atu ai koutou e ahau.
15 I have made you small amongst the nations, utterly contemptible amongst men.
Kua ki hoki koutou, Kua ara i a Ihowa etahi poropiti mo tatou i Papurona.
16 Your insolence has risen up against you, the fierceness of your heart has burst the holes of the rocks, it has seized upon the strength of a lofty hill; for as an eagle he set his nest on high: thence will I bring you down.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa mo te kingi e noho ana i runga i te torona o Rawiri, mo te iwi katoa hoki e noho ana i tenei pa, mo o koutou teina kihai nei i haere tahi koutou i te whakaraunga;
17 And Idumea shall be a desert: every one that passes by shall hiss at it.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Nana, ka unga atu e ahau ki runga ki a ratou te hoari, te hemokai, te mate uruta, a ka meinga ratou e ahau kia rite ki nga piki kikino, e kore nei e taea te kai i te kino rawa.
18 As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha and they that sojourned in her, says the Lord Almighty, no man shall dwell there, nor shall any son of man inhabit there.
A ka whaia ratou e ahau ki te hoari, ki te hemokai, ki te mate uruta, ka tukua hoki ratou kia poipoia i waenganui i nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua, hei kanga, hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga atu, a hei hahani, i roto i nga iwi katoa e peia at u ai ratou e ahau.
19 Behold, he shall come up as a lion out of the midst of Jordan to the place of Aetham: for I will speedily drive them from it, and do you set the young men against her: for who is like me? and who will withstand me? and who [is] this shepherd, who shall confront me?
No te mea kihai ratou i rongo ki aku kupu, e ai ta Ihowa, ki aku kupu i unga ra e ahau kia kawea ki a ratou e aku pononga, e nga poropiti, moata ai i te ata ki te unga i a ratou; heoi kihai koutou i rongo, e ai ta Ihowa.
20 Therefore hear you the counsel of the Lord, which he has framed against Idumea; and his device, which he has devised against the inhabitants of Thaeman: surely the least of the sheep shall be swept off; surely their dwelling shall be made desolate for them.
Mo reira whakarongo mai ki te kupu a Ihowa, koutou katoa o te whakaraunga, kua unga atu nei e ahau i Hiruharama ki Papurona.
21 For at the sound of their fall the earth was scared, and the cry of the sea was not heard.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, mo Ahapa tama a Koraia, mo Terekia tama a Maaheia, e poropiti teka na ki a koutou i runga i toku ingoa: Nana, ka hoatu raua e ahau ki te ringa o Nepukareha kingi o Papurona; a mana raua e whakamate i o koutou aroaro.
22 Behold, he shall look [upon her] as an eagle, and spread forth [his] wings over her strongholds; and the heart of the mighty men of Idumea shall be in that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
A ka ai raua hei kanga ma nga whakarau katoa o Hura i Papurona, ka korerotia, Kia meinga koe e Ihowa kia rite ki a Terekia raua ko Ahapa, i tunua nei e te kingi o Papurona ki te ahi;
Kua mahi poauau hoki raua i roto i a Iharaira, kua puremu ki nga wahine a o raua hoa, kua korero hoki i nga kupu teka i runga i toku ingoa, he mea kihai i whakahaua atu e ahau ki a raua; ko ahau tenei e mohio ana, ko ahau te kaiwhakaatu, e ai ta Ihowa.
Na mo Hemaia Neherami me korero koe, me ki atu,
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, e mea ana ia, I te mea kua tukua e koe etahi pukapuka i runga i tou ake ingoa ki te iwi katoa i Hiruharama, ki te tohunga, ki a Tepania tama a Maaheia, ratou ko nga tohunga katoa, kua me a atu,
Kua oti koe te mea e Ihowa hei tohunga i muri i a Iehoiara tohunga, kia waiho ai ko koutou hei kaitirotiro i roto i te whare o Ihowa mo te tangata katoa e haurangi ana, e whakaporopiti ana i a ia, kia maka e koe ki nga here waewae, ki nga here r inga.
Na he aha ra te riria ai e koe a Heremaia Anatoti, e whakaporopiti na i a ia ki a koutou?
Kua tukua mai nei hoki e ia he kupu ki a matou ki Papurona, e mea ana, Ka roa te whakaraunga: hanga he whare mo koutou, ka noho i roto; whakatokia he kari, kainga o ratou hua.
Na i korerotia tenei pukapuka e Tepania tohunga ki nga taringa o Heremaia poropiti.
Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia, i mea ia,
Tukua he kupu ki nga whakarau katoa, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa mo Hemaia Neherami: Kua poropiti na a Hemaia ki a koutou, a kihai hoki ia i unga e ahau, a kua meinga koutou e ia kia whakawhirinaki ki te teka,
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka whiua e ahau a Hemaia Neherami ratou ko ona uri; kore iho he tangata mona hei noho i roto i tenei iwi, e kore hoki ia e kite i te pai e mahia e ahau ki taku iwi, e ai ta Ihowa; no te mea kua korero ia i te tutu mo Ihowa.
