Jeremiah 31

1 At that time, saith Jehovah, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

I taua wa, e ai ta Ihowa, ka waiho ahau hei Atua mo nga hapu katoa o Iharaira, ko ratou hoki hei iwi maku.

2 Thus saith Jehovah: The people [that were] left of the sword have found grace in the wilderness, [even] Israel, when I go to give him rest.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko te iwi i toe i te hoari, i kite i te manako ki te koraha; ara a Iharaira, i ahau i haere atu ai ki te mea tanga manawa mona.

3 Jehovah hath appeared from afar unto me, [saying, ] Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee.

I puta mai a Ihowa ki ahau i mua noa atu, i mea mai, Ae ra, he aroha pumau toku i aroha ai ahau ki a koe: na reira te atawhai i kukume ai ahau i a koe.

4 I will build thee again, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel! Thou shalt again be adorned with thy tambours, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

Ka hanga ano koe e ahau, a ka oti koe te hanga, e te wahine o Iharaira: tera ano koe ka whakapaipaia ki au timipera, a ka haere atu i roto i nga kanikani a te hunga harakoa.

5 Thou shalt again plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall eat the fruit.

Tera koe e whakato ano he mara waina ki runga ki nga maunga o Hamaria: ka whakato nga kaiwhakato, a ka kai i ona hua.

6 For there shall be a day, when the watchmen upon mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God.

No te mea tena ano te ra, e karanga ai nga kaitiaki i runga i nga pukepuke o Eparaima, Whakatika, tatou ka haere ki runga, ki Hiona, ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua.

7 For thus saith Jehovah: Sing aloud [with] gladness for Jacob, and shout at the head of the nations; publish ye, praise ye, and say, Jehovah, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Waiata i runga i te koa ki a Hakopa, hamama mo te metararahi o nga iwi: korerotia atu, whakamoemititia, mea atu, E Ihowa, whakaorangia tau iwi, te morehu o Iharaira.

8 Behold, I bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth; [and] among them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great assemblage shall they return hither.

Nana, ka kawea mai ratou e ahau i te whenua ki te raki, ka kohikohia mai i nga topito o te whenua, me nga matapo, me nga kopa, me te wahine e hapu ana, me te wahine hoki e whakamamae ana, i o ratou taha; he hui nui tonu ratou e hoki mai ai ki kon ei.

9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by water-brooks, in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble; for I will be a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Ka haere mai ratou me te tangi, a ka arahina ratou e ahau i runga i te inoi: ka meinga ratou e ahau kia haere i te taha o nga awa wai, ma te ara tika e kore ai o ratou waewae e tutuki i reira; no te mea he papa ahau ki a Iharaira, a ko Eparaima t aku matamua.

10 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye nations, and declare [it] to the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd his flock.

Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e nga iwi, korerotia hoki ki nga motu o tawhiti, mea atu, Ko te kaititaritari o Iharaira, mana ratou e whakawhaiti, mana ratou e tiaki, ka rite ki ta te hepara i tana kahui.

11 For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of one stronger than he.

Kua hokona nei hoki a Hakopa e Ihowa, utua ana e ia, tangohia mai ana i roto i te ringa o te mea i kaha rawa i a ia.

12 And they shall come and sing aloud upon the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of Jehovah, for corn, and for new wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd; and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall not languish any more at all.

Na ka haere mai ratou ka waiata i te wahi tiketike o Hiona, ka rere huihui ki te pai o Ihowa, ki te witi, ki te waina, ki te hinu, a ki nga kuao hipi, kuao kau: a ka rite o ratou wairua ki te kari kua oti te whakamakuku; a ka tino mutu rawa ta r atou tangi.

13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and old together; for I will turn their mourning into gladness, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice after their sorrow.

Katahi te wahine ka koa ki te kanikani, me nga taitama ngatahi ko nga kaumatua: ka meinga hoki e ahau ta ratou tangi hei koa, ka whakamarietia ratou, a ka meinga ratou kia hari i o ratou mamae.

14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith Jehovah.

Ka whakatinaia e ahau te wairua o nga tohunga ki te ngako, ka makona ano toku iwi i toku pai, e ai ta Ihowa.

15 Thus saith Jehovah: A voice hath been heard in Ramah, the wail of very bitter weeping, — Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted for her children, because they are not.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, I rangona he reo ki Rama, he uhunga, he tangi, tiwerawera ana, ko Rahera e tangi ana ki ana tamariki, a kihai i pai kia whakamarietia mo ana tamariki, kua kahore nei.

16 Thus saith Jehovah: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears; for there is a reward for thy work, saith Jehovah; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whakamutua te tangi o tou reo, nga roimata hoki i ou kanohi; no te mea ka whai utu tau mahi, e ai ta Ihowa; a ka hoki mai ano ratou i te whenua o te hoariri.

17 And there is hope for thy latter end, saith Jehovah, and thy children shall come again to their own border.

Ka whai tumanakohanga hoki tou mutunga, e ai ta Ihowa, a ka hoki mai au tamariki ki to ratou ake rohe.

18 I have indeed heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus]: Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised as a bullock not trained: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art Jehovah my God.

He pono kua rongo ahau i a Eparaima e tangi ana ki a ia ano, penei, Kua pakia ahau e koe, a i pakia ahau, pera i te kuao kau kihai i whakaakona ki te ioka: whakatahuritia ahau, a ka tahuri ahau; ko koe nei hoki a Ihowa, toku Atua.

19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after I knew myself, I smote upon [my] thigh. I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, for I bear the reproach of my youth.

He pono i muri i toku tahuritanga, i ripeneta ahau; a i muri i toku whakaakoranga i papaki ahau ki toku huha: i whakama ahau, ae ra, i numinumi kau, no te mea e waha ana e ahau te ingoa kino o toku taitamarikitanga.

20 Is Ephraim a dear son unto me? is he a child of delights? For whilst I have been speaking against him, I do constantly remember him still. Therefore my bowels are troubled for him: I will certainly have mercy upon him, saith Jehovah.

He tamaiti matenui ianei a Eparaima naku? he tamaiti ahuareka ianei? no te mea ka korero ana ahau i te he mona, mau tonu toku maharahara ki a ia: no reira oku whekau i oho ai ki a ia; he pono ka tohungia ia e ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.

21 Set up waymarks, make for thyself signposts; set thy heart toward the highway, the way by which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.

Whakaturia ake etahi tohu ara mau, hanga he pou waitohu: e anga tou ngakau ki te huanui, ki te ara i haere ai koe: hoki mai, e te wahine o Iharaira, hoki mai ano ki enei pa ou.

22 How long wilt thou wander about, thou backsliding daughter? For Jehovah hath created a new thing on the earth, a woman shall encompass a man.

Kia pehea te roa o tou kopikopiko, e te tamahine tahurihuri ke? kua hanga hoki e Ihowa he mea hou ki runga ki te whenua, Ka karapoti te wahine i te tane.

23 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: They shall again use this speech, in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn their captivity: Jehovah bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness!

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Tenei ake ka korerotia ano tenei kupu ki te whenua o Hura, ki ona pa hoki, ina whakahokia mai ratou e ahau i te whakarau: Kia manaaki a Ihowa i a koe, e te nohoanga o te tika, e te maung a o te tapu.

24 And therein shall dwell Judah, and all the cities thereof together, the husbandmen, and they that go about with flocks.

A ka noho tahi a Hura me ona pa katoa ki reira; te hunga ngaki i te whenua me te hunga ano e haere tahi ana me nga kahui.

25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and every languishing soul have I replenished.

Kua tino whakamakonatia hoki e ahau te wairua ruha, kua whakakiia ano nga wairua katoa e pouri ana.

26 — Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.

I konei ka maranga ahau, a ka titiro; na he reka ki ahau taku moe.

27 Behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah [with] the seed of man and the seed of beast.

Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e whakatokia ai e ahau te whare o Iharaira me te whare o Hura ki te purapura tangata, ki te purapura kararehe.

28 And it shall come to pass, as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to overthrow, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them to build, and to plant, saith Jehovah.

Na ka pera i ahau i tiaki ai i a ratou i mua, he mea kia hutia ake, kia wahia iho, kia turakina ki raro, kia whakangaromia, kia tukinotia; ka pera ano taku tiaki i a ratou, he mea kia hanga, kia whakatokia, e ai ta Ihowa.

29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge:

I aua ra ka mutu ta ratou ki, Kua kai nga matua i nga karepe kaiota, a moniania ana nga niho o nga tamariki.

30 for every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man that eateth the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

Engari ka mate tenei, tenei, i runga i tona kino, i tona kino: ko nga tangata katoa e kai ana i te karepe kaiota, ko ona niho ano e moniania.

31 Behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e whakaritea ai e ahau he kawenata hou ki te whare o Iharaira, ki te whare hoki o Hura:

32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of my taking them by the hand, to lead them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband unto them, saith Jehovah.

E kore ano ia e rite ki te kawenata i whakaritea e ahau ki o ratou matua i te ra i pupuri ai ahau ki o ratou ringa, a kawea mai ana ratou i te whenua o Ihipa; whakataka ana e ratou taua kawenata aku, ahakoa i waiho ahau hei tahu marena ma ratou, e ai ta Ihowa.

33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith Jehovah: I will put my law in their inward parts, and will write it in their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Engari ko te kawenata tenei e whakaritea e ahau ki te whare o Iharaira i muri i aua ra, e ai ta Ihowa; Ka hoatu e ahau taku ture ki o ratou wahi i roto, ka tuhituhia ano ki to ratou ngakau; a ko ahau hei Atua mo ratou, ko ratou hei iwi maku.

34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Jehovah: for I will pardon their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

I muri nei kahore he whakaako a tetahi i tona hoa tata, a tetahi i tona teina, kahore he ki atu, Kia mohio ki a Ihowa; ka mohio hoki ratou katoa ki ahau, i te iti o ratou tae noa ki te mea rahi rawa, e ai ta Ihowa: no te mea ka whakarerea noatia e ahau to ratou kino, a heoi ano oku mahara ki to ratou hara.

35 Thus saith Jehovah, who giveth the sun for light by day, the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for light by night, who stirreth up the sea so that the waves thereof roar, — Jehovah of hosts is his name:

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, nana nei i homai te ra hei whakamarama i te awatea, me nga tikanga o te marama, o nga whetu, hei whakamarama i te po, nana hoki i whakatutehu te moana, i nganga ai ona ngaru; ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa:

36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith Jehovah, the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

Ki te mawehe atu enei tikanga i toku aroaro, e ai ta Ihowa, ko reira ano ka kore te uri o Iharaira hei iwi i toku aroaro a ake ake.

37 Thus saith Jehovah: If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off the whole seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith Jehovah.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Mehemea e taea ana te ruri te rangi i runga, te rapu hoki nga turanga o te whenua i raro, katahi hoki ahau ka paopao ki nga uri katoa o Iharaira mo nga mea katoa kua mahia e ratou, e ai ta Ihowa.

38 Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that the city shall be built to Jehovah, from the tower of Hananeel unto the corner-gate.

Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e hanga ai te pa hei mea ki a Ihowa, i te pourewa atu o Hananeere tae noa ki te kuwaha o te koki.

39 And the measuring line shall yet go forth before it unto the hill Gareb, and shall turn toward Goath.

A ka tae tonu atu te aho ruri, tika tonu atu ki te pukepuke ki Karepe, taiawhio tonu atu ki Koata.

40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the torrent Kidron, unto the corner of the horse-gate toward the east, shall be holy unto Jehovah: it shall not be plucked up, nor overthrown any more for ever.

Na, ko te raorao katoa i nga tupapaku, i nga pungarehu, a ko nga mara katoa hoki, a tae noa ki te awa, ki Kitirono, ki te koki i te kuwaha hoiho whaka te rawhiti, ka tapu katoa ki a Ihowa; e kore e hutia ake, e kore ano e wahia iho a ake ake.
