Jeremiah 43

1 Then it happened that, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all the words of the Lord their God to the people, all those words concerning which the Lord their God had sent him to them,

A ka mutu te korero a Heremaia ki te iwi katoa i nga kupu katoa a Ihowa, a to ratou Atua, i unga ai ia ki a ratou e Ihowa, e to ratou Atua, ara enei kupu katoa,

2 Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the exalted men, spoke to Jeremiah, saying: “You are speaking a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say: ‘You shall not enter into Egypt so as to live in that place.’

Katahi ka korero a Ataria tama a Hohaia, ratou ko Hohanana tama a Karea, ko nga tangata whakapehapeha katoa ano hoki, ka mea ki a Heremaia, E korero teka ana koe: kihai a Ihowa, to tatou Atua, i unga mai i a koe hei mea, Kaua koutou e haere ki Ih ipa, ki reira noho ai:

3 Instead, Baruch, the son of Neriah, has incited you against us, so as to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to put us to death and to cause us to be led away into Babylon.”

Engari na Paruku, na te tama a Neria koe i whakakiki ki te he mo matou, kia tukua ai matou ki te ringa o nga Karari, kia whakamatea ai matou e ratou, kia whakaraua ai hoki ki Papurona.

4 And so Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, and all the people, did not heed the voice of the Lord to remain in the land of Judah.

Na kihai a Hohanana tama a Karea, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ko te iwi katoa hoki, i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, kia noho ki te whenua o Hura.

5 But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, took away all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations (to which they had been scattered before) to live in the land of Judah:

Engari i mau a Hohanana tama a Karea, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ki nga morehu katoa o Hura i peai nei ratou ki nga iwi katoa, a i hoki mai ki te whenua o Hura noho ai;

6 men, and women, and children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had left behind with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah, the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah.

Ki nga tana, ki nga wahine, ki nga tamariki, ki nga tamahine hoki a te kingi, ki nga tangata katoa i waiho e Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki ki a Keraria tama a Ahikama, tama a Hapana, ki a Heremaia poropiti, ki a Paruku hoki tama a Neria;

7 And they entered into the land of Egypt. For they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes.

A haere ana ratou ki te whenua o Ihipa; kihai hoki ratou i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa: na ka tae ratou ki Tahapanehe.

8 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes, saying:

Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia ki Tahapanehe; i mea ia,

9 “Take great stones in your hand, and you shall conceal them in the crypt which is under the brick wall at the gate of the house of Pharaoh at Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.

Maua atu etahi kohatu nunui i tou ringa, a ka huna ki roto ki te paru ki te papa pereki, ki tera i te kuwaha o te whare o Parao i Tahapanehe, a kia kite hoki nga tangata o Hura;

10 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have concealed, and he will establish his throne upon them.

A ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Nana, ka unga tangata ahau ki te tiki i taku pononga, i a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka whakaturia e ahau tona torona ki runga ki enei kohatu kua huna nei e ahau; a ka horahia e ia tona teneti kingi ki runga.

11 And he will come and strike the land of Egypt: those who are meant for death, shall go to death, and those for captivity, to captivity, and those for the sword, to the sword.

Na ka tae mai ia, a ka patu i te whenua o Ihipa; ko te hunga mo te mate ka tukua ki te mate, ko te hunga mo te whakarau ki te whakarau, a ko te hunga mo te hoari ki te hoari.

12 And he will kindle a fire in the shrines of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them down, and he will lead them away captive. And he will clothe himself with the land of Egypt, just as a shepherd is clothed with his cloak. And he will go forth from that place in peace.

Ka ngiha ano i ahau he ahi i roto i nga whare o nga atua o Ihipa; ka tahuna ratou e ia, a ka whakaraua atu: a ka kakahuria e ia te whenua o Ihipa, ano he hepara e kakahu ana i tona kakahu; a ka haere atu ia i reira i runga i te rangimarie.

13 And he will crush the statues of the house of the Sun, those that are in the land of Egypt, and the shrines of the gods of Egypt he will burn up with fire.”

Ka wawahia hoki e ia nga whakapakoko o Petehemehe, o tera i te whenua o Ihipa, ka tahuna ki te ahi nga whare o nga atua o Ihipa.
