< Jeremiah 25 >
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah (that is, the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon),
Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia mo te iwi katoa o Hura i te wha o nga tau o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura; ko te tau tuatahi tera o Nepukareha kingi o Papurona;
2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
I korerotia taua mea e Heremaia, e te poropiti, ki te iwi katoa o Hura, ki nga tangata katoa hoki o Hiruharama; i ki ia,
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of Jehovah hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
No te tekau ma toru o nga tau o Hohia tama a Amono kingi o Hura, a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, ka rua tekau ma toru enei nga tau, te putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, me taku korero ano ki a koutou, moata ai i te ata a ka korero; heoi kihai kou tou i rongo.
4 And Jehovah hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear,
Na kua unga e Ihowa ana pononga katoa, nga poropiti ki a koutou, moata ai i nga ata a ka unga i a ratou; heoi kihai koutou i rongo, kihai ano o koutou taringa i anga ki te whakarongo;
5 when they said, Turn again now every one from his evil way, and from the wickedness of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah hath given unto you and to your fathers from of old even for ever.
I mea ratou, Tahuri mai koutou, e tera, e tera i tona ara kino, i te kino hoki o a koutou mahi, a e noho ki te oneone i homai e Ihowa ki a koutou ko o koutou matua, onamata a ake ake.
6 And go not after other gods, to serve them and to worship them; and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
Kaua hoki e whaia he atua ke, kaua e mahi ki a ratou, kaua e koropiko ki a ratou, kaua hoki ahau e whakapataritaria ki te mahi a o koutou ringa; a e kore koutou e he i ahau.
7 But ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Jehovah; that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands, to your own hurt.
Heoi kihai koutou i rongo ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa; he mea kia whakapataritaria ai ahau ki te mahi a o koutou ringa, hei he ano mo koutou.
8 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Because ye have not listened to my words,
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Na kihai na koutou i rongo ki aku kupu,
9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and [I will send] to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual wastes.
Nana, ka unga tangata ahau ki te tiki i nga hapu katoa o te raki, e ai ta Ihowa, a ka unga tangata ahau ki taku pononga, ki a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka kawea mai ratou ki tenei whenua, ki ona tangata hoki, a ki nga iwi katoa nei a tawhio noa; ka tino whakangaromia ratou e ahau, ka meinga hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga atu, hei ururua tuturu.
10 And I will cause to perish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.
Ka tangohia atu hoki e ahau i a ratou te reo o te koa, te reo o te hari, te reo o te tane marena hou, te reo o te wahine marena hou, te haruru o nga kohatu mira, te marama hoki o te rama.
11 And this whole land shall become a waste, an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
A ka waiho tenei whenua katoa hei ururua, hei keteketenga; a ka mahi enei iwi ki te kingi o Papurona, e whitu tekau tau.
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, [that] I will visit on the king of Babylon and on that nation, saith Jehovah, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and I will make it perpetual desolations.
A ka rite nga tau e whitu tekau, ka whiua e ahau te kingi o Papurona me taua iwi, e ai ta Ihowa, mo to ratou kino, me te whenua hoki o nga Karari; ka meinga a reira e ahau kia ururua a ake ake.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
Ka kawea hoki e ahau ki runga ki taua whenua aku kupu katoa i korerotia e ahau mo reira, nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki tenei pukapuka, kua poropititia nei e Heremaia mo aua iwi katoa.
14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.
Ka whakamahia hoki ratou, ae ra, ratou e nga iwi maha, e nga kingi nunui hoki: a ka rite ki a ratou hanga, ki te mahi hoki a o ratou ringa taku utu ki a ratou.
15 For thus hath Jehovah the God of Israel said unto me: Take the cup of the wine of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua, o Iharaira ki ahau, Tangohia te kapu waina o tenei riri i toku ringa, whakainumia ma nga iwi katoa ka unga nei koe e ahau ki a ratou.
16 And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
A ka inu ratou, hurori atu, hurori mai, ka haurangi, i te hoari e unga e ahau ki waenganui i a ratou.
17 And I took the cup at Jehovah's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Jehovah had sent me:
Katahi ahau ka tango i te kapu i te ringa o Ihowa, whakainumia ana ma nga iwi katoa i unga nei ahau e Ihowa ki a ratou:
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a waste, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
Ara ma Hiruharama, ma nga pa o Hura, ma ona kingi, a ma ona rangatira, kia meinga ai ratou hei ururua, hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga, hei kanga; hei penei me to tenei ra;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
Ma Parao kingi o Ihipa, ratou ko ana tangata, ko ana rangatira, ko tona iwi katoa;
20 and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gazah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
Ma nga iwi i whakaranua, ma nga kingi katoa o te whenua o Uhu, ma nga kingi katoa o te whenua o nga Pirihitini, ma Ahakarono, ma Kaha, ma Ekerono, ma nga morehu ano o Aharoro:
21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;
Ma Eroma, ma Moapa, ma nga tama a Amona;
22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles that are beyond the sea;
Ma nga kingi katoa o Taira, ma nga kingi katoa o Hairona, ma nga kingi o te motu i tera taha o te moana;
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners [of their beard] cut off;
Ma Rerana, ma Tema, ma Putu, ma te hunga katoa e tapahia ana nga tapa o o ratou makawe;
24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert;
Ma nga kingi katoa o Arapia, ma nga kingi katoa o te iwi i whakaranua, e noho ana i te koraha;
25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
Ma nga kingi katoa o Timiri, ma nga kingi katoa o Erama, ma nga kingi katoa o nga Meri.
26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
Ma nga kingi katoa o te raki, ma nga mea e tata ana, ma nga mea i tawhiti, ma tetahi, ma tetahi; ma nga kingitanga katoa hoki o te ao, i te mata o te oneone: a ka inu te kingi o Hehaka i muri i a ratou.
27 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword that I will send among you.
Me ki ano e koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; E inu koutou, a haurangi iho, ruaki, e hinga ki raro, kaua e ara mai ano ki runga, i te hoari hoki e unga e ahau ki waenganui i a koutou.
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall certainly drink.
Na, ki te kore ratou e pai ki te tango i te kapu i roto i tou ringa kia inumia, katahi koe ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; Me inu rawa nei e koutou.
29 For behold, I begin to bring evil on the city that is called by my name, and should ye be altogether unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts.
No te mea, nana, ka timata ahau ki te whakatupu kino i te pa i huaina nei toku ingoa mo reira: a kia tukua koutou kia kahore rawa e whiua? E kore ra koutou e kore te whiua: no te mea ka karangatia e ahau he hoari ki runga ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
30 And thou, prophesy unto them all these words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar upon his dwelling-place, he will give a shout, as they that tread [the vintage], against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Mo reira me poropiti e koe enei kupu katoa ki a ratou, mea atu ki a ratou, Ka hamama mai a Ihowa i te wahi tiketike, ka puaki mai tona reo i tona kainga tapu; ka tino nui tana hamama ki tana taiepa hipi; ka umere ia, ka pera i ta nga kaitakahi k arepe, ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua.
31 The noise shall come to the end of the earth: for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations, he entereth into judgment with all flesh; as for the wicked, he will give them up to the sword, saith Jehovah.
Ka paku te ngangau ki te pito ra ano o te whenua; no te mea he totohe ta Ihowa ki nga iwi, ka whakawakia e ia nga kikokiko katoa; ko te hunga kino, ka tukua e ia ki te hoari, e ai ta Ihowa.
32 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ka puta atu he kino i tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, a ka whakatututia he tukauati nui i nga pito rawa o te whenua.
33 And the slain of Jehovah shall [be] at that day from [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.
Na, ko nga tupapaku a Ihowa ka takoto i taua ra i tetahi pito o te whenua tae noa ki tetahi pito o te whenua: e kore hoki ratou e tangihia, e kore ano e kohikohia, e tanumia ranei; hei whakawairakau ratou ki te mata o te whenua.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in the dust], noble ones of the flock: for the days of your slaughter are accomplished, and I will disperse you; and ye shall fall like a precious vessel.
Aue, e nga hepara, hamama; okeoke i roto i te pungarehu, e nga metararahi o te kahui: kua tae mai hoki nga ra mo koutou kia patupatua, a ka tukitukia koutou e ahau mongamonga noa, a ka taka koutou ano he oko i matenuitia.
35 And refuge shall perish from the shepherds, and escape from the noble ones of the flock.
A ka kore he wahi hei rerenga mo nga hepara, kahore he mawhititanga mo nga metararahi o te kahui.
36 There shall be a voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the noble ones of the flock: for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture;
He reo no te tangi o nga hepara, he aue no nga metararahi o te kahui! no te mea e pahuatia ana e Ihowa to ratou haerenga hipi.
37 and the peaceable enclosures shall be desolated, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.
A ka meinga kia nohopuku nga nohoanga hipi humarie; no te mea ka mura te riri o Ihowa.
38 He hath forsaken his covert as a young lion; for their land is a desolation because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
Ka whakarerea e ia tona kuhunga, ka pera i te raiona; ka waiho hoki to ratou whenua hei miharotanga i te taikaha o te hoari tukino, i te muranga o tona riri.
