Jeremiah 6
1 O ye children of Beniamin, prepare to flee out of the middes of Ierusalem, and blowe the trumpet in Tekoa: set vp a standart vpon Beth-haccerem: for a plague appeareth out of the North and great destruction.
Putere atu, e nga tama a Pineamine, i roto i Hiruharama, whakatangihia te tetere ki Tekoa, kokiritia ake he ahi tohu ki Petehakereme: he kino hoki te titiro mai nei i te raki, he whakangaromanga nui.
2 I haue compared the daughter of Zion to a beautifull and daintie woman.
Ka tapahia atu e ahau te wahine ataahua, te wahine whakatarapi, te tamahine a Hiona.
3 The pastors with their flockes shall come vnto her: they shall pitche their tentes rounde about by her, and euery one shall feede in his place.
Ka haere mai nga hepara, me a ratou kahui ki a ia; ka whakaturia o ratou teneti ki tetahi taha ona, ki tetahi taha; ka kai ratou ki tona wahi, ki tona wahi.
4 Prepare warre against her: arise, and let vs goe vp toward the South: wo vnto vs: for the day declineth, and the shadowes of the euening are stretched out.
Kia rite nga mea mo te whawhai ki a ia; whakatika, kia whakaekea i te poutumarotanga. Aue, te mate mo tatou! kua tawharara hoki te ra, kua whakawairua kau ano nga atarangi o te ahiahi.
5 Arise, and let vs goe vp by night, and destroy her palaces.
Maranga, kia whakaekea e tatou i te po, kia wawahia ano ona whare kingi.
6 For thus hath the Lord of hostes said, Hewe downe wood, and cast a mounte against Ierusalem: this citie must be visited: all oppression is in the middes of it.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tuaina he rakau, haupuria ake he pukepuke hei whawhai ki Hiruharama; ko te pa tenei e whiua; he tukino kau tana i roto i a ia.
7 As the fountaine casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her malice: crueltie and spoyle is continually heard in her before me with sorowe and strokes.
Rite tonu ki te pukenga ake o te wai o te puna te pukenga ake o tona kino: he tukino, he pahua te rangona ana i roto i a ia; kei toku aroaro tonu te mamae me te patunga.
8 Be thou instructed, O Ierusalem, lest my soule depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate as a land, that none inhabiteth.
E ako, e Hiruharama, kei puta ke toku ngakau ki a koe, kei meinga koe e ahau kia ururuatia, he whenua kahore e nohoia.
9 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, They shall gather as a vine, the residue of Israel: turne backe thine hande as the grape gatherer into the baskets.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ka ata, hamua marietia nga toenga o Iharaira, ano he waina; kia rite tau ki ta te kaikohi karepe, whakahokia iho tou ringa ki roto ki nga kete.
10 Vnto whome shall I speake, and admonish that they may heare? beholde, their eares are vncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: beholde, the worde of the Lord is vnto them as a reproche: they haue no delite in it.
Ki a wai ra taku korero, taku whakaatu tikanga, e rongo ai ratou? nana, he mea kokotikore to ratou taringa, te whakarongo ai ratou: nana, hei tawainga ma ratou te kupu a Ihowa, kahore e arongia e ratou.
11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord: I am weary with holding it: I will powre it out vpon the children in the streete, and likewise vpon the assembly of the yong men: for the husband shall euen be taken with the wife, and the aged with him that is full of daies.
Na, ki tonu ahau i te riri o Ihowa; ruha iho ahau i te koromaki: ringihia ki runga ki te kohungahunga i te ara, ki te whakaminenga ano o nga taitamariki, hui katoa: no te mea ka hopukia te tane raua ko te wahine, te koroheke raua ko te tangata k ua maha ona ra.
12 And their houses with their landes, and wiues also shalbe turned vnto strangers: for I will stretch out mine hande vpon the inhabitants of the land, sayeth the Lord.
Ka riro ke o ratou whare i etahi atu, nga mara ngatahi ano ko nga wahine: no te mea ka totoro toku ringa ki nga tangata o te whenua, e ai ta Ihowa.
13 For from the least of them, euen vnto the greatest of them, euery one is giuen vnto couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, they all deale falsely.
Ko te mea iti o ratou, ko te mea nui hoki kei runga i te apo; ko te poropiti, ko te tohunga, ratou katoa kei te mahi teka:
14 They haue healed also ye hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
Ko ta ratou rongoatanga hoki i te mamae o taku iwi he hanga noa iho; e ki ana, Ka mau te rongo, ka mau te rongo; i te mea kahore nei he maunga rongo.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, no neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore they shall fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayth the Lord.
I whakama ranei ratou i a ratou e mahi ana i nga mea whakarihariha? hore rawa o ratou whakama, kahore hoki i mohio ki te numinumi: mo reira ka hinga ratou i roto i te hunga e hinga ana: i te wa e whiu ai ahau i a ratou, ka whakataka ratou, e ai ta Ihowa.
16 Thus sayeth the Lord, Stande in the waies and beholde, and aske for the olde way, which is the good way and walke therein, and yee shall finde rest for your soules: but they saide, We will not walke therein.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, E tu ki nga ara, tirohia atu, uia nga ara tawhito kei hea te ara pai, ka haere i reira, a ka kite koutou i te tanga reira, a ka kite koutou i te tanga manawa mo o koutou wairua. Heoi e ki mai ana ratou, E kore matou e h aere i reira.
17 Also I set watchmen ouer you, which said, Take heede to the sound of the trumpet: but they said, We will not take heede.
I whakaturia ano e ahau etahi kaitutei mo koutou, i mea ahau, Whakarongo ki te tangi o te tetere. Heoi e ki ana ratou, E kore matou e whakarongo.
18 Heare therefore, yee Gentiles, and thou Congregation knowe, what is among them.
Mo reira, whakarongo, e nga iwi, kia mohio ano koe, e te huihui, ki nga mea kei roto i a ratou.
19 Heare, O earth, beholde, I will cause a plague to come vpon this people, euen the fruite of their owne imaginations: because they haue not taken heede vnto my woordes, nor to my Lawe, but cast it off.
Whakarongo, e te whenua; tenei ahau te kawe mai nei i te kino mo tenei iwi, i nga hua o o ratou whakaaro; mo ratou kihai i whakarongo ki aku korero; ko taku ture, paopaongia ake e ratou.
20 To what purpose bringest thou mee incense from Sheba, and sweete calamus from a farre countrey? Your burnt offerings are not pleasant, nor your sacrifices sweete vnto me.
Hei aha te whakakakara i tae mai ai ki ahau i Hepa, te kakaho kakara i te whenua tawhiti? e kore a koutou tahunga tinana e arongia, e kore ano a koutou patunga tapu e reka ki ahau.
21 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, I will laie stumbling blockes before this people, and the fathers and the sonnes together shall fall vpon them: the neighbour and his friende shall perish.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tenei ahau te whakatakoto nei i nga tutukitanga waewae e ki mua i tenei iwi, e tutuki ngatahi ai nga matua, nga tamariki; ka ngaro te tangata noho tata raua ko tona hoa.
22 Thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, a people commeth from the North countrey, and a great nation shall arise from the sides of the earth.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tenei te haere mai nei he iwi i te whenua ki te raki, ka whakaarahia mai ano he iwi nui i nga pito o te whenua.
23 With bowe and shield shall they be weaponed: they are cruell and will haue no compassion: their voyce roareth like the sea, and they ride vpon horses, well appointed, like men of warre against thee, O daughter Zion.
Ka mau ratou ki te kopere, ki te tao; he nanakia ratou, e kore hoki e tohu tangata; ko to ratou reo, ano kei te moana e haruru ana, a eke ai ratou i runga i te hoiho; rarangi rawa ratou, me te mea he tangata e mea ana ki te whawhai ki a koe, e t e tamahine a Hiona.
24 We haue heard their fame, and our handes waxe feeble sorrowe is come vpon vs, as the sorrowe of a woman in trauaile.
Kua rongo matou ki tona rongo; ngoikore iho o matou ringa; mau pu matou i te pawera, i te mamae, me te mea he wahine e whanau ana.
25 Goe not foorth into the fielde, nor walke by the way: for the sword of the enemie and feare is on euery side.
Kei puta atu ki te mara, kaua hoki e haere i te ara; kei reira hoki te hoari a te hoariri, a kei nga taha katoa te wehi.
26 O daughter of my people, girde thee with sackecloth, and wallowe thy selfe in the ashes: make lamentation, and bitter mourning as for thine onely sonne: for the destroier shall suddenly come vpon vs.
E te tamahine a taku iwi, whitikiria te kakahu taratara, ka takaoriori ki te pungarehu, hei te tangi ki te huatahi tau tangi ki a koe, kia tiwerawera te tangi: no te mea kihai i aha kua tae mai te kaipahua ki a tatou.
27 I haue set thee for a defence and fortresse among my people, that thou maiest knowe and trie their waies.
Kua oti koe te mea e ahau hei pourewa, hei pa kaha, i roto i toku iwi; kia mohio ai koe, kia whakamatau ai i to ratou ara.
28 They are all rebellious traitours, walking craftily: they are brasse, and yron, they all are destroyers.
He tino nui to ratou tutu, a ko ta ratou i a ratou e haereere ana he ngau tuara: he parahi ratou, he rino; he hunga whakangau ke ratou katoa.
29 The bellowes are burnt: the lead is consumed in the fire: the founder melteth in vaine: for the wicked are not taken away.
Kei te kaka te hau o te pupuhi ahi; kua pau te mata i te ahi, maumau whakarewa noa te kaitahi para: kahore nei hoki te hunga kino kia unuhia atu.
30 They shall call them reprobate siluer, because the Lord hath reiected them.
E huaina ratou e te tangata he hiriwa i paopaongia, no te mea kua paopao nei a Ihowa ki a ratou.
