Jeremiah 27

1 In the beginning of the reign of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, this word came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:

I te timatanga o te kingitanga o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura ka puta mai tenei kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia, i mea ia,

2 Thus saith the Lord to me: Make thee bands, and chains: and thou shalt put them on thy neck.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki ahau, Hanga he here, he ioka mou, ka whakanoho ai ki tou kaki;

3 And thou shalt send them to the of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon: by the hand of the messengers that are come to Jerusalem to Sedecias the king of Juda.

Na tukua ki te kingi o Eroma, ki te kingi o Moapa, ki te kingi o nga tama a Amona, ki te kingi o Taira, ki te kingi hoki o Hairona: ma te ringa o nga karere e haere mai ana ki Hiruharama, ki a Terekia kingi o Hura, e mau.

4 And thou shalt command them to speak to their masters: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to your masters:

Me whakahau ano ratou e koe kia ki atu ki o ratou ariki, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki o koutou ariki:

5 I made the earth, and the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power, and by my stretched out arm: and I have given it to whom it seemed good in my eyes.

Naku i hanga te whenua, te tangata me te kararehe i runga i te mata o te whenua, na toku kaha nui, na toku ringa maro tonu; na e hoatu ana e ahau ki taku e pai ai.

6 And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon my servant: moreover also the beasts of the field I have given him to serve him.

Na inaianei kua oti te hoatu e ahau enei whenua katoa ki te ringa o Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, ki taku pononga; a kua hoatu ano e ahau nga kirehe o te parae ki a ia kia whakamahia e ia.

7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son: till the time come for his land and himself: and many nations and great kings shall serve him.

A ka mahi nga iwi katoa ki a ia, ki tana tama, ki te tama ano hoki a tana tama, kia taka ra ano te wa o tona ake whenua; a hei reira ia whakamahia ai e nga iwi maha, e nga kingi nunui hoki.

8 But the nation and kingdom that will not serve Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and whosoever will not bend his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon: I will visit upon that nation with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, saith the Lord: till I consume them by his hand.

Na ko te iwi, a ko te kingitanga, e kore e mahi ki taua Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, e kore hoki e tuku i o ratou kaki ki raro ki te ioka a te kingi o Papurona, ka whiua e ahau taua iwi, e ai ta Ihowa, ki te hoari, ki te hemokai, ki te mate uruta, kia moti ra ano ratou i ahau ki tona ringa.

9 Therefore hearken not to your prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, that say to you: You shall not serve the king Babylon.

Tena ko koutou, kaua koutou e rongo ki o koutou poropiti, ki o koutou tohunga tuaahu, ki o koutou moemoea, ki o koutou tohunga kapua, ki o koutou tohunga makutu, e korero na ki a koutou, e mea na, E kore koutou e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona:

10 For they prophesy lies to you: to remove you far from your country, and east you out, and to make you perish.

No te mea e poropiti ana ratou i te teka ki a koutou, he mea kia matara atu ai koutou i to koutou oneone; kia peia ai hoki koutou e ahau, kia ngaro ai.

11 But the nation that shall bend down their neck under the yoke of the king Babylon, and shall serve him: Will let them remain in their own land, saith the Lord: and they shall till it, and dwell in it.

Engari ko te iwi e tuku ana i o ratou kaki ki raro ki te ioka a te kingi o Papurona, a ka mahi ki a ia, ka waiho ratou e ahau ki to ratou oneone, e ai ta Ihowa; a ka ngakia e ratou, ka noho hoki ratou ki reira.

12 And I spoke to Sedecias the king of Juda according to all these words, saying: Bend down your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, and his people, and you shall live.

Na rite tonu ki enei kupu katoa taku i korero ai ki a Terekia kingi o Hura, i mea ahau, Tukua atu o koutou kaki ki raro ki te ioka a te kingi o Papurona; e mahi ki a ia, ki a ratou ko tona iwi, a ka ora koutou.

13 Why will you die, thou and thy people by the sword, and by famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

Kia mate koutou hei aha, koutou ko tou iwi i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta, i ta Ihowa i ki a mo te iwi e kore nei e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona?

14 Hearken not to the words of the prophets that say to you: You shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they tell you a lie.

Kaua hoki e rongo ki nga kupu a nga poropiti e korero na ki a koutou, e mea na, E kore koutou e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona: e poropiti teka ana hoki ratou ki a koutou.

15 For I have not sent them, saith the Lord: and they prophesy in my name falsely: to drive you out, and that you may perish, both you, and the prophets that prophesy to you.

Ehara hoki ratou i ahau i unga atu, e ai ta Ihowa, otiia kei te poropiti teka ratou i runga i toku ingoa; he mea kia peia ai koutou e ahau, a kia ngaro ai koutou, me nga poropiti e poropiti na ki a koutou.

16 I spoke also to the priests, and to this people, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Hearken not to the words of your prophets, that prophesy to you, saying: Behold the vessels of the Lord shall now in a short time be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.

I korero ano ahau ki nga tohunga, ki tenei iwi katoa, i mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; Kei rongo koutou ki nga kupu a o koutou poropiti e poropiti na ki a koutou, e mea na, Nana, ka tata te whakahokia mai nga oko o te whare o Ihowa i Papurona: h e poropiti teka hoki ta ratou ki a koutou.

17 Therefore hearken not to them, but serve the king of Babylon, that you may live. Why should this city be given up to desolation?

Kei whakarongo ki a ratou; e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona, kia ora ai koutou: kia ururuatia tenei pa hei ahau?

18 But if they be prophets, and the word of the Lord be in them: let them interpose themselves before the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which were left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Juda, and in Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.

Otira, ki te mea he poropiti ratou, ki te mea kei a ratou te kupu a Ihowa, me inoi ratou inaianei ki a Ihowa o nga mano, kia kaua nga oko e toe nei ki te whare o Ihowa, ki te whare o te kingi o Hura, ki Hiruharama, e tae ki Papurona.

19 For thus saith the Lord of hosts to the pillars, and to the sea, and to the bases, and to the rest of the vessels that remain in this city:

Ina hoki te kupu a Ihowa o nga mano mo nga pou, mo te moana, mo nga turanga, a mo nga toenga o nga oko kua mahue nei ki tenei pa,

20 Which Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the great men of Juda and Jerusalem.

Kihai nei i riro i a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona i tana whakaraunga atu i a Hekonia tama a Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura i roto i Hiruharama ki Papurona, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa o Hura, o Hiruharama;

21 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Juda and Jerusalem:

Ae ra, ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, mo nga oko e toe nei ki te whare o Ihowa, ki te whare hoki o te kingi o Hura, ki Hiruharama;

22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day of their visitation, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to be brought, and to be restored in this place.

Ka kawea aua mea ki Papurona, ka takoto hoki ki reira, taea noatia te ra e pa ai ahau ki a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa; hei reira ka maua mai e ahau, ka whakahokia mai ki tenei wahi.
