< Jeremiah 35 >

1 The worde which came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, in the dayes of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, saying,
Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia na Ihowa, i nga ra o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura; i mea ia,
2 Go vnto the house of the Rechabites, and speake vnto them, and bring them into the house of the Lord into one of the chambers, and giue them wine to drinke.
Haere ki te whare o nga Rekapi, korero atu ki a ratou, ka kawe i a ratou ki te whare o Ihowa, ki tetahi o nga ruma, ka whakainu i a ratou ki te waina.
3 Then tooke I Iaazaniah, the sonne of Ieremiah the sonne of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sonnes, and the whole house of the Rechabites,
Na ka tikina e ahau a Iaatania tama a Heremaia, tama a Hapatinia, ratou ko ona teina, ko ana tama katoa, ko te whare katoa hoki o nga Rekapi;
4 And I brought them into the House of the Lord, into the chamber of the sonnes of Hanan, the sonne of Igdaliah a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was aboue the chamber of Maaseiah the sonne of Shallum, the keeper of the treasure.
A kawea ana ratou e ahau ki te whare o Ihowa, ki te ruma o nga tama a Hanana tama a Ikiraria, he tangata na te Atua, ki tera i te taha o te ruma o nga rangatira, i runga ake i te ruma o te kaitiaki tatau, o Maaheia tama a Harumu:
5 And I set before the sonnes of the house of the Rechabites, pots full of wine, and cuppes, and said vnto them, Drinke wine.
A whakaturia ana e ahau etahi oko, ki tonu i te waina, me etahi kapu ki te aroaro o nga tama o te whare o nga Rekapi. Na ka mea atu ahau ki a ratou, Inumia e koutou he waina.
6 But they said, We will drinke no wine: for Ionadab the sonne of Rechab our father commanded vs, saying, Ye shall drinke no wine, neither you nor your sonnes for euer.
Ano ra ko ratou, E kore matou e inu waina; i ako hoki to matou papa, a Ionarapa, tama a Rekapa, ki a matou, i mea, Kei inu waina koutou ko a koutou tamariki a ake ake:
7 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seede, nor plant vineyarde, nor haue any, but all your dayes ye shall dwell in tentes, that ye may liue a long time in the land where ye be strangers.
Kaua hoki koutou e hanga whare, e whakato purapura, e whakato mara waina ranei, kaua hoki he pena ma koutou; engari, i o koutou ra katoa, me noho teneti; kia maha ai nga ra e ora ai koutou ki te mata o te oneone e noho manene nei koutou.
8 Thus haue wee obeyed the voyce of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab our father, in all that he hath charged vs, and wee drinke no wine all our dayes, neither wee, our wiues, our sonnes, nor our daughters.
Na rongo tonu matou ki te reo o to matou papa, o Ionarapa tama a Rekapa, ki nga mea katoa i whakahau ai ia ki a matou, kia kaua e inu waina i o matou ra katoa, matou, a matou wahine, a matou tama, a matou tamahine;
9 Neither builde wee houses for vs to dwell in, neither haue we vineyard, nor fielde, nor seede,
Kia kaua ano e hanga whare hei nohoanga mo matou: kahore hoki a matou mara waina, mara ke ranei, purapura ranei;
10 But we haue remained in tentes, and haue obeyed, and done according to all that Ionadab our father commanded vs.
Engari ko o matou nohoanga he teneti, rongo tonu matou, mahi tonu i nga mea katoa i whakahaua e to matou papa, e Ionarapa, ki a matou.
11 But when Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came vp into the land, we said, Come, and let vs go to Ierusalem, from the hoste of the Caldeans, and from the host of Aram: so we dwel at Ierusalem.
Otiia, i te whakaekenga a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona i te whenua, ka mea matou, Haere mai, haere tatou ki Hiruharama, kei mate i te ope a nga Karari, i te ope hoki a nga Hiriani; na noho ana matou i Hiruharama.
12 Then came the word of the Lord vnto Ieremiah, saying,
Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia; ka mea ia,
13 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Goe, and tell the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, Will ye not receiue doctrine to obey my wordes, saith the Lord?
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; Haere, mea atu ki nga tangata o Hura, ki te hunga hoki e noho ana i Hiruharama, E kore ianei koutou e manako ki te ako, e rongo ki aku kupu? e ai ta Ihowa.
14 The commandement of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab that hee commanded his sonnes, that they should drinke no wine, is surely kept: for vnto this day they drinke none, but obey their fathers commandement: notwithstanding I haue spoken vnto you, rising earely, and speaking, but ye would not obey me.
Kua tutuki nga kupu a Ionarapa tama a Rekapa i whakahau ai ia ki ana tamariki kia kaua e inu waina; kihai hoki ratou i inu a taea noatia tenei ra, no te mea e whakarongo ana ratou ki te ako a to ratou papa: ko ahau ia, i korero ahau ki a koutou, moata ai i te ata ka korero; heoi kihai koutou i rongo ki ahau.
15 I haue sent also vnto you all my seruants the Prophetes, rising vp earely, and sending, them, saying, Returne nowe euery man from his euill way, and amende your workes, and goe not after other gods to serue them, and ye shall dwel in the lande which I haue giuen vnto you, and to your fathers, but ye would not encline your eare, nor obey mee.
I unga atu ano e ahau aku pononga katoa, nga poropiti, maranga wawe ana ahau, unga ana i a ratou, ki a koutou, me te ki atu, Tahuri mai koutou, e tera, e tera o koutou i o koutou ara kino, ka whakapai i a koutou mahi, kaua hoki e whai ki nga atu a ke, kaua e mahi ki a ratou, a ka noho koutou ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki a koutou ko o koutou matua: heoi kihai i anga mai o koutou taringa, kihai hoki i rongo ki ahau.
16 Surely the sonnes of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab, haue kept the commandement of their father, which he gaue them, but this people hath not obeyed me.
Na, kua whakamana nei e nga tama a Ionarapa tama a Rekapa te ako a to ratou papa i ako ai ia ki a ratou, engari ko tenei iwi, kihai i rongo ki ahau:
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring vpon Iudah, and vpon all the inhabitants of Ierusalem, all the euill that I haue pronounced against them, because I haue spoke vnto them, but they would not heare, and I haue called vnto them, but they would not answere.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; Nana, ka kawea mai e ahau ki a Hura, ki nga tangata katoa hoki o Hiruharama, nga kino katoa i korerotia e ahau mo ratou: no te mea i korero ahau ki a ratou, a kihai i rongo; i karanga ahau ki a ratou, a kihai ratou i whakahoki kupu mai.
18 And Ieremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Because ye haue obeyed the commandement of Ionadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according vnto all that hee hath commanded you,
Na ka mea a Heremaia ki te whare o nga Rekapi, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; I te mea i rongo koutou ki te ako a to koutou papa, a Ionarapa, i pupuri hoki i ana ako katoa, i mahi i nga mea katoa i akona e ia ki a kou tou;
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Ionadab the sonne of Rechab shall not want a man, to stand before me for euer.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: E kore e kore he tangata ma Ionarapa tama a Rekapa, hei tu ki toku aroaro i nga ra katoa.
