Jeremiah 22
1 THUS saith the Lord; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; Haere ki raro, ki te whare o te kingi o Hura, ka korero i tenei kupu ki reira,
2 And say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
Mea atu Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e te kingi o Hura, e noho na i runga i te torona o Rawiri, a koe, koutou ko ou tangata, ko tou iwi e tomo ana ki enei kuwaha;
3 Thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whakaritea te whakawa me te tika, whakaorangia te tangata e pahuatia ana i te ringa o te kaitukino: kaua e mauria kinotia, kaua e whakatupuria kinotia te manene, te pani, te pouaru, kaua hoki e whakahekea te toto harakor e ki tenei wahi.
4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
No te mea ki te mahia marietia tenei e koutou, katahi ka tomo mai ki nga kuwaha o tenei whare he kingi e noho ana i runga i te torona o Rawiri, e eke ana ki te hariata, ki te hoiho, a ia, me ana tangata, me tona iwi.
5 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.
Engari ki te kore koutou e whakarongo ki enei kupu, hei oati tenei maku ki ahau ano, e ai ta Ihowa, tera tenei whare e takoto kau.
6 For thus saith the Lord unto the king’s house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa mo te whare o te kingi o Hura, Ko Kireara koe ki ahau, a ko te tihi o Repanona; otiia he pono ka meinga koe e ahau hei koraha, hei pa hoki e kore e nohoia.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
A ka whakaritea e ahau he kaiwhakangaro mou, rite rawa i tana patu, i tana patu: a ka tuaina e ratou ou hita papai, ka maka hoki ki te ahi.
8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this great city?
A he maha nga iwi e haere ma te taha o tenei pa, a ka mea tena ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, He aha tenei i meatia e Ihowa ki tenei pa nui?
9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.
Katahi ratou ka ki ake, Mo ratou i whakarere i te kawenata a Ihowa, a to ratou Atua, a koropiko ana ki nga atua ke, mahi atu ana ki a ratou.
10 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
Kaua koutou e tangi ki te tupapaku, e uhunga ranei ki a ia: engari kia nui te tangi mo te tangata e haere atu ana; no te mea e kore ia e hoki mai a muri, e kore ano e kite i te whenua i whanau ai ia.
11 For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa mo Harumu tama a Hohia, kingi o Hura, i kingi nei i muri i tona papa, i a Hohia, i haere atu nei hoki i tenei wahi; E kore ia e hoki mai ki konei a ake ake:
12 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
Engari hei te wahi i whakaraua atu ai ia, ka mate ia ki reira, a e kore ia e kite i tenei whenua a ake ake.
13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
Aue, te mate mo te tangata e hanga nei i tona whare ki te he, i nga ruma hoki o reira ki te whakawa he; e whakamahi nei i tona hoa, kahore e utua, kahore hoki e hoatu to tana mahi ki a ia;
14 That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
E mea ana, Ka hanga e ahau he whare mahorahora moku, he rarahi nga ruma, pokaia ana he matapihi mona i roto; a ko te hipoki he hita, pania ake ki te whero ngangana.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
E kingi ranei koe, no te mea e whai ana koe kia pera rawa atu te hita? kihai ianei tou papa i kai, i inu, i whakarite i te whakawa, i te tika? a he pai i reira ki a ia.
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the Lord.
I whakaritea e ia te whakawa a te ware, a te rawakore; a he pai i reira. He teka ianei ko te mohio tenei ki ahau? e ai ta Ihowa.
17 But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
Kahore hoki ou kanohi, ou ngakau mo tetahi mea ke atu, heoi mo tou apo anake, mo te whakaheke i te toto harakore, mo te tukino, mo te tutu, hei mahi, mau.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
Mo reira ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei mo Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura; Kahore he tangi mona, he mea, Aue, e toku tuakana! ko tenei ranei, Aue, e te tuahine! kahore ratou e tangi mona, e mea, Aue, te ariki! Aue, tona kororia!
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
Ka tanumia ia ki te tanu o te kaihe, ka toia, ka maka ki waho i nga kuwaha o Hiruharama.
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
E piki ki Repanona tangi ai; kia puaki hoki tou reo i Pahana: tangi mai hoki i Aparimi; kua mongamonga katoa hoki te hunga i aroha ki a koe.
21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.
I korero ahau ki a koe i te wa o tou rangatiratanga; engari i mea koe, E kore ahau e rongo. Ko tau tikanga tenei no tou tamarikitanga ake, kihai koe i rongo ki toku reo.
22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
Ma te hau e whangai au hepara katoa, ka riro hoki te hunga i aroha ki a koe ki te whakarau: katahi rawa koe ka whakama, ka numinumi kau ki tou kino katoa.
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
E te wahine e noho na i Repanona, e hanga na i tou kohanga ki nga hita, ano te nui o te manawapa mou ina tae nga mamae ki a koe, te mamae e rite ana ki to te wahine e whanau ana!
24 As I live, saith the Lord, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;
E ora ana ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, ahakoa a Konia tama a Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura, ko te mowhiti i runga i toku ringa matau, ka unuhia tonutia atu koe e ahau i reira;
25 And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
A ka hoatu koe e ahau ki te ringa o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea koe, ki te ringa ano o te hunga e wehi na koe, ara ki te ringa o Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, ki te ringa hoki o nga Karari.
26 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
Ka akiritia atu ano koe e ahau me tou whaea i whanau ai koe ki tetahi atu whenua ehara nai i te wahi i whanau ai korua; a mate atu korua ki reira.
27 But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
Engari ko te whenua i okaka tonu ai o raua ngakau kia hoki ki reira, e kore raua e hoki ki reira,
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
Ko tenei tangata, ko Konia, he oko pakaru ranei ai e whakahaweatia ana? he oko kahore e matenuitia ana? he aha i akiritia atu ai, ratou ko ona uri, i maka atu ai ki te whenua kihai i mohiotia e ratou?
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.
E te whenua, te whenua, te whenua, whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa.
30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tuhituhia e koutou tenei tangata, he urikore, he tangata e kore e oti pai tana i ona ra e ora ai: e kore hoki e totika ta tetahi o ona uri e noho ana i runga i te torona o Rawiri, e kingi ana a muri ake nei i roto i a H ura.
