Jeremiah 39
1 In the ninth year of Sedecias king of Juda, in the tenth month, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army to Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
I te iwa o nga tau o Terekia kingi o Hura, i te tekau o nga marama, ka haere mai a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona ratou ko tana ope katoa ki Hiruharama, a whakapaea ana a reira e ratou;
2 And in the I eleventh year of Sedecias, in the fourth month, the fifth day of the month, the city was opened.
I te tekau ma tahi o nga tau o Terekia, i te wha o nga marama, i te iwa o nga ra o te marama, ka pakaru te pa:
3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Neregel, Sereser, Semegarnabu, Sarsachim, Rabsares, Neregel, Serezer, Rebmag, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
Na ka haere mai nga rangatira katoa a te kingi o Papurona, a noho ana i te kuwaha o waenganui, a Nerekara Haretere, a Hamakara Nepo, a Harehekimi, a Rapahari, a Nerekara Haretere, a Rapamaka, ratou ko era atu rangatira a te kingi o Papurona.
4 And when Sedecias the king of Juda and all the men of war saw them, they fled: and they went forth in the night out of the city by the way of the king’s garden, and by the gate that was between the two walls, and they went; out to the way of the desert.
Na, i te kitenga o Terekia kingi o Hura ratou ko nga tangata whawhai katoa, rere ana ratou, puta atu ana ki waho o te pa i te po, ma te ara i te kari waho o te pa i te po, ma te ara i te kari a te kingi, ma te kuwaha i waenganui i nga taiepa e ru a: a puta atu ana ia i te ara o te Arapa.
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them: and they took Sedecias in the plain of the desert of Jericho, and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: and he gave judgment upon him.
Otiia i whaia ratou e te ope o nga Karari, a ka mau a Terekia ki nga mania i Heriko. Na hopukia ana ia, kawea ana ki a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, ki Ripira i te whenua o Hamata: a whakawhakia ana ia e ia.
6 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedecias, in Reblatha, before his eyes: and the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Juda.
Katahi ka tukitukia e te kingi o Papurona nga tama a Terekia ki tona aroaro ki Ripira: a i tukitukia ano e te kingi o Papurona nga rangatira katoa o Hura.
7 He also put out the eyes of Sedecias: and bound him with fetters, to be carried to Babylon.
I whakamatapotia hoki e ia nga kanohi o Terekia, herea iho ia ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurona.
8 And the Chaldeans burnt the king’s house, and the houses of the people with fire, and they threw down the wall of Jerusalem.
Na tahuna ana e nga Karari te whare o te kingi, me nga whare o te iwi, ki te ahi, wawahia iho e ratou nga taiepa o Hiruharama.
9 And Nabuzardan the general of the army carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to him, and the rest of the people that remained.
Katahi ka whakaraua e Neputaraarana, rangatira o nga kaitiaki, ka mauria ki Papurona te toenga o te iwi i mahue ki te pa, me te hunga i papahoro atu, i taka atu ki a ia, me era atu o te iwi i mahue ki te pa.
10 But Nabuzardan the general left some of the poor people that had nothing at all, in the land of Juda, and he gave them vineyards, and cisterns at that time.
Otiia i mahue iho i a Neputaraarana, rangatira o nga kaitiaki, nga ware o te iwi, kahore nei o ratou rawa, ki te whenua o Hura, a hoatu ana e ia he mara waina me etahi atu mara ki a ratou i taua ra.
11 Now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had given charge to Nabuzardan the general concerning Jeremias, saying:
Na i tohutohu a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona ki a Neputaraarana, rangatira o nga kaitiaki, mo Heremaia i mea ia,
12 Take him, and set thy eyes upon him, and do him no harm: but as he hath a mind, so do with him.
Tikina ia, kia pai hoki te tiaki i a ia, a kaua ia e tukinotia; engari ko tana e ki mai ai, ko tau tena e mea ai ki a ia.
13 Therefore Nabuzardan the general sent, and Nabusezban, and Rabsares, and Neregel, and Sereser, and Rebmag, and all the nobles of the king of Babylon,
Heoi ka unga tangata a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki, ratou ko Nepuhahapana, ko Rapahari, ko Nerekara Haretere, ko Rapamaka, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa a te kingi o Papurona;
14 Sent, and took Jeremias out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Codolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, that he might go home, and dwell among the people.
Unga tangata ana ratou, a tikina atu ana a Heremaia i te marae o te whare herehere, a tukua atu ana ia e ratou ki a Keraria tama a Ahikama, tama a Hapana kia kawea ki te kainga: na noho ana ia i waenganui i te iwi.
15 But the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, when he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying: Go, and tell Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying:
Na i puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia, i a ia e here ana i te marae o te whare herehere; i mea ia,
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will bring my words upon this city unto evil, and not unto good: and they shall be accomplished in thy sight in that day.
Haere, korero ki a Eperemereke Etiopiana, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Nana, ka takina mai e ahau aku kupu ki runga ki tenei pa, hei kino, ehara ano hoki i te pai; a ka tutuki ki tou aroaro i taua ra.
17 And I will deliver thee in that day, saith the Lord: and thou shalt not be given into the hands of the men whom thou fearest:
Otiia ka whakaorangia koe e ahau i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa: e kore hoki koe e tukua ki te ringa o te hunga e wehi na koe.
18 But delivering, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword: but thy life shall be saved for thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.
Ka tino whakaorangia hoki koe e ahau, a e kore koe e hinga i te hoari, engari ka waiho tou wairua hei taonga parakete ki a koe: mou i whakawhirinaki ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
