Jeremiah 13
1 Thus saith the Lord to me: Go, and get thee a linen girdle, and thou shalt put it about thy loins, and shalt not put it into water.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki ahau, Tikina, hokona he whitiki rinena mou, ka whitiki ai ki tou hope; kaua hoki e tukua ki te wai.
2 And I got a girdle accoding to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.
Heoi kua hokona e ahau tetahi whitiki, ko ta Ihowa i ki ai, whitikiria iho e ahau ki toku hope.
3 And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying:
Na ko te rua o nga putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,
4 Take the girdle which thou hast got, which is about thy loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
E mau ki te whitiki i hokona e koe, ki tera i tou hope, ka whakatika, ka haere ki Uparati, ka huna ki tetahi rua i te kamaka.
5 And I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord had commanded me.
Heoi haere ana ahau, huna ana i taua mea ki Uparati, pera tonu me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki ahau.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me: Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.
A ka maha nga ra, ka ki mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Whakatika, haere ki Uparati, tikina i reira te whitiki i whakahau ai ahau ki a koe kia huna ki reira.
7 And I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle out of the place where I had hid it: and behold the girdle was rotten, so that it was fit for no use.
Katahi ka haere ahau ki Uparati, kei te keri, tangohia mai ana e ahau te whitiki i te wahi i huna ai e ahau: na, kua kino te whitiki, kihai i pai mo tetahi mea.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,
9 Thus saith the Lord: after this manner will I make the pride of Juda, and the great pride of Jerusalem to rot.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka pena ano taku whakakino i te whakapehapeha o Hura, i te whakapehapeha nui o Hiruharama.
10 This wicked people, that will not hear my words, and that walk in the perverseness of their heart, and have gone after strange gods to serve them, and to adore them: and they shall be as this girdle which is fit for no use.
Ko tenei iwi kino e kore nei e pai ki te whakarongo ki aku kupu, e haere ana i runga i nga tikanga pakeke o o ratou ngakau, e whai ana i nga atua ke, e mahi ana, e koropiko ana ki a ratou, ka rite ratou ki tenei whitiki e kore nei e pai mo tetah i mea.
11 For as the girdle sticketh close to the loins of a man, so have I brought close to me all of the house of Israel, and all the house of Juda, saith the Lord: that they might be my people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
He penei i te whitiki e piri nei ki te hope o te tangata, pena tonu taku meatanga i te whare katoa o Iharaira, i te whare katoa o Hura, kia piri ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, kia waiho ai ratou hei iwi maku, hei ingoa, hei whakamoemiti, hei kororia; h eoi kihai ratou i rongo.
12 Thou shalt speak therefore to them this word: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Every bottle shall be filled with wine, and they shall say to thee: Do we not know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
Na me korero tenei kupu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ka whakakiia katoatia nga pounamu ki te waina: a e mea ano ratou ki a koe, kihai ianei matou i tino mohio ka whakakiia katoatia nga pounamu ki te waina?
13 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings of the race of David that sit upon his throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. with drunkenness.
Ko reira koe mea ai ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tenei ahau te whakaki nei i nga tangata katoa o tenei whenua, ara i nga kingi e noho ana i runga i te torona o Rawiri, ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga poropiti, ko nga tangata katoa ano o Hi ruharama ki te haurangi.
14 And I will scatter them every man from his brother, and fathers and sons in like manner, saith the Lord: I will not spare, and I will not pardon: nor will I have mercy, but to destroy them.
Ka akina atu ano ratou e ahau tetahi ki tetahi, nga matua ngatahi ano ko nga tamariki, e ai ta Ihowa; e kore e tohungia e ahau, e kore e manawapatia, e kore e arohaina, kia kore ai ratou e ngaro i ahau.
15 Hear ye, and give ear: Be not proud, for the Lord hath spoken.
Whakarongo, tahuri mai nga taringa; kaua e whakapehapeha; na Ihowa hoki te kupu.
16 Give ye glory to the Lord your God, before it be dark, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains: you shall look for light, and he will turn it into the shadow of death, and into darkness.
Whakakororiatia to koutou Atua, a Ihowa, i te mea kiano ia i whakapouri noa, i te mea kiano o koutou waewae i tutuki i runga i nga maunga pouri, i te mea hoki e tatari ana koutou ki te marama, na kua puta ke i a ia ko te atarangi o te mate, kua meinga kia pouri kerekere.
17 But if you will not hear this, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride: weeping it shall weep, and my eyes shall run down the tears, because the flock of the Lord is carried away captive.
Tena ki te kore koutou e rongo, ka tangi toku wairua i nga wahi ngaro ki to koutou whakapehapeha: nui atu ano te tangi o toku kanohi, tarere iho ano nga roimata; no te mea ka whakaraua te kahui a Ihowa.
18 Say to the king, and to the queen: Humble yourselves, sit down: for the crown of your glory is come down from your head.
Mea atu ki te kingi raua ko te kuini, Whakaititia korua, e noho: no te mea ka riro iho o korua whakapaipai mahunga, te karauna o to korua kororia.
19 The cities of the south are shut up, and there is none to open them: all Juda is carried away captive with an entire captivity.
Ka tutakina nga pa o te tonga, kahore he kaiwhakatuwhera, ka whakaraua katoatia a Hura, poto rawa ki te whakarau.
20 Lift up your eyes, and see, you that come from the north: where is the flock that is given thee, thy beautiful cattle?
E ara o koutou kanohi, tirohia te hunga e haere mai ana i te raki: kei hea te kahui i hoatu ki a koe? tau kahui ataahua na?
21 What wilt thou say when he shall visit thee? for thou hast taught them against thee, and instructed them against thy own head: shall not sorrows lay hold on thee, as a woman in labour?
Ka pehea tau kupu ina whakanohoia e ia ou hoa ki runga ake i a koe hei mahunga, nau na hoki ratou i ako hei rangatira, hei ariki mou? E kore ianei koe e mau pu i te mamae, ano he wahine e whakawhanau ana?
22 And if thou shalt say in thy heart: Why are these things come upon me? For the greatness of thy iniquity, thy nakedness is discovered, the soles of thy feet are defiled.
Na ki te mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, He aha enei mea i pa ai ki ahau? Na te nui o tou kino i hurahia ai te remu o tou, i whakatupuria kinotia ai ou rekereke.
23 If the Ethiopian can change his skin, or the leopard his spots: you may also do well, when you have learned evil.
E taea ranei e te Etiopiana te whakaputa ke tona kiri, e te reparo ranei tona kotingotingo? me kore noa e taea te mahi pai e koutou kua taunga nei ki te mahi kino.
24 And I will scatter them as stubble, which is carried away by the wind in the desert.
Ka titaritaria ano ratou e ahau, ano he papapa e rere ana i runga i te hau o te koraha.
25 This is thy lot, and the portion of thy measure from me, saith the Lord, because thou hast forgotten me, and hast trusted in falsehood.
Ko te rota tena mau, ko te wahi i ruritia atu e ahau mou, e ai ta Ihowa; mou i wareware ki ahau, i whakawhirinaki ki te teka.
26 Wherefore I have also bared my thighs against thy face, and thy shame hath appeared.
Ka hurahia hoki e ahau nga remu o tou ki runga ki tou kanohi, a ka kitea tou mea e whakama ai koe.
27 I have seen thy adulteries, and thy neighing, the wickedness of thy fornication: and thy abominations, upon the hills in the field. Woe to thee, Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean after me: how long yet?
Kua kite ahau i ou whakarihariha, i ou puremutanga, tau tangi a hoiho, te weriweri o tou moepuku, i runga i nga pukepuke i te parae. Aue te mate mou, e Hiruharama! e kore nei koe e meinga kia ma; a hea rawa ra ano?
