Jeremiah 17

1 The sin of Judah is written with a style of iron, with the point of a diamond, engraven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;

Kua oti te hara o Hura te tuhituhi ki te pene rino, ki te mata hoki o te taimana: he mea whaowhao rawa ki te papa o to ratou ngakau, ki runga hoki ki nga haona o a koutou aata;

2 whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherahs, by the green trees, upon the high hills.

I a ratou tamariki e mahara ana ki a ratou aata, ki a ratou Aherimi hoki i te taha o nga rakau kouru nui i runga i nga pukepuke tiketike.

3 My mountain in the field, thy substance, all thy treasures will I give for a spoil, — thy high places, because of sin throughout thy borders.

E toku maunga i te parae, ka hoatu e ahau ou rawa, ou taonga katoa kia pahuatia, me ou wahi tiketike, he mea mo te hara, puta noa i ou rohe katoa.

4 And of thyself thou shalt let go thine inheritance which I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in a land that thou knowest not; for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, — it shall burn for ever.

A ko koe, nau ake ano, ka mutu ki tou kainga tupu i hoatu na e ahau ki a koe; a ka meinga koe e ahau kia mahi ki ou hoariri ki te whenua kihai i mohiotia e koe: no te mea kua tahuna e koutou he ahi i ahau e riri ana, ko tona ka mo ake tonu atu.

5 Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that confideth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka kanga te tangata e whakawhirinaki ana ki te tangata, e mea ana hoki i te kikokiko hei ringa mona, e kotiti ke ana hoki tona ngakau i a Ihowa.

6 And he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but he shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.

Ka rite hoki ia ki te manoao i te koraha, e kore hoki e kite i te putanga mai o te pai; engari ko nga wahi waikore o te koraha hei kainga mona, he whenua tote, e kore nei e nohoia.

7 Blessed is the man that confideth in Jehovah, and whose confidence Jehovah is.

Ka manaakitia te tangata e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa, ko Ihowa tana e tumanako ai.

8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots by the stream, and he shall not see when heat cometh, but his leaf shall be green; and in the year of drought he shall not be careful, neither shall he cease to yield fruit.

Ka rite hoki ia ki te rakau i whakatokia ki te taha o nga wai, e toro nei ona pakiaka ki te awa, a kahore e wehi i te tikakatanga mai o te ra, engari ka matomato tonu tona rau; e kore e manukanuka i te tau raki, e kore ano hoki e mutu tona whai h ua.

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and incurable; who can know it?

Ko te ngakau, he mea tinihanga atu i nga mea katoa, a he tino mate rawa: e mohiotia ranei e wai?

10 I Jehovah search the heart, I try the reins, even to give each one according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

Ko taku, ko ta Ihowa, he rapu i te ngakau, he whakamatautau i nga whatumanawa, kia hoatu ai ki tenei, ki tenei kia rite ki tona ara ake, kia rite hoki ki nga hua o ana mahi.

11 [As] the partridge sitteth on [eggs] it hath not laid, [so] is he that getteth riches and not by right: in the midst of his days shall he leave them, and at his end shall be a fool.

Ka rite ki te patiri, e whakawhaiti nei i nga pi, ehara i a ia i whakawhanau, he pera te tangata e whiwhi ana ki te taonga, a kahore i tika mana; i waenganui o ona ra ka mahue ia i a ratou, a wairangi noa iho ia i tona mutunga iho.

12 A throne of glory, [set] on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.

Ko to tatou wahi tapu he torona kororia, he mea whakanoho ki te wahi tiketike mai i te timatanga.

13 Thou hope of Israel, Jehovah! all that forsake thee shall be ashamed. They that depart from me shall be written in the earth; because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters.

E Ihowa, e ta Iharaira e tumanako nei, ka whakama te hunga katoa e whakarere ana i a koe; ka tuhituhia ki te whenua te hunga e kotiti ana i ahau, mo ratou i whakarere i a Ihowa, i te puna wai ora.

14 Heal me, Jehovah, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

Rongoatia ahau, e Ihowa, a ka mahu toku mate; whakaorangia ahau, a ka ora ahau: ko koe hoki taku e whakamoemiti ai.

15 Behold, these say unto me, Where is the word of Jehovah? let it then come!

Nana, kei te ki mai ratou ki ahau, Kei hea te kupu a Ihowa? tena ra, kia puta mai.

16 But as for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd in following thee, neither have I desired the fatal day, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face.

Na, ko ahau nei, kihai ahau i hohoro atu i te mahi hepara i muri i a koe, kihai hoki i hiahia ki te ra o te mamae; e mohio ana ano koe: i mua i tou kanohi te mea i puta mai i oku ngutu.

17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil.

Kei waiho koe hei whakawehi moku: ko koe taku e whakamanawa atu ai i te ra o te he.

18 Let them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and break them with a double breaking.

Kia whakama te hunga e tukino ana i ahau, kaua ia ahau e whakama: kia wehi ratou, kaua ia ahau e wehi: kawea te ra o te kino ki runga ki a ratou, kia rua hoki nga whakangaromanga e whakangaro ai koe i a ratou.

19 Thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

I penei mai ta Ihowa kupu ki ahau, Haere, e tu ki te kuwaha o nga tama a te iwi, e tomo ai nga kingi o Hura, e haere atu ai hoki, a ki nga kuwaha katoa o Hiruharama:

20 and say unto them, Hear the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates;

A ka mea ki a ratou, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e nga kingi o Hura, e Hura katoa, e nga tangata katoa hoki o Hiruharama, e tomo nei ma enei kuwaha:

21 thus saith Jehovah: Take heed to your souls, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, and bring nothing in through the gates of Jerusalem;

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kia tupato ki a koutou, a kaua he kawenga e waha i te ra hapati, kaua ano e maua mai ki roto ma nga kuwaha o Hiruharama;

22 and carry forth no burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do any work; but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers,

Kaua hoki he kawenga e maua atu i o koutou whare i te ra hapati, kaua hoki koutou e mahi i tetahi mahi; engari me whakatapu e koutou te ra hapati, kia rite ki taku i whakahau ai ki o koutou matua;

23 but they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but hardened their neck, that they might not hear nor receive instruction.

Otiia kihai ratou i rongo, kihai hoki i tahuri to ratou taringa, engari i whakapakeke i to ratou kaki, kei rongo ratou, kei manako hoki ki te ako.

24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, and to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;

Na, ki te ata whakarongo koutou ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, kia kaua e mau kawenga ma nga kuwaha o tenei pa i te ra hapati, engari kia whakatapu i te ra hapati, kia kaua e mahi i tetahi mahi i reira;

25 then shall there enter in, through the gates of this city, kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.

Katahi ka tomo ki nga kuwaha o tenei pa he kingi, he rangatira, e noho ana i runga i te torona o Rawiri, e eke ana ki te hariata, ki te hoiho, ratou, a ratou rangatira, me nga tangata o Hura, me te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama; a ka tuturu tene i pa a ake ake.

26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the south, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and oblations, and incense, and bringing thanksgiving unto the house of Jehovah.

A ka haere mai nga tangata i nga pa o Hura, i nga wahi i nga taha o Hiruharama, i te whenua o Pineamine, i te mania, i nga maunga, i te tonga hoki, me te mau mai he tahunga tinana, he patunga tapu, he whakahere, he whakakakara, a ka maua mai hok i he whakawhetai, ki te whare o Ihowa.

27 But if ye will not hearken unto me, to hallow the sabbath day and not to bear a burden and enter in through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

Ki te kore ia koutou e whakarongo ki taku kia whakatapua te ra hapati, kia kaua hoki e maua he kawenga, a ka tomo ki nga kuwaha o Hiruharama i te ra hapati; katahi ka ngiha i ahau he ahi i nga kuwaha o reira, a ka pau nga whare kingi o Hiruharam a, e kore ano e tineia.
