Jeremiah 49

1 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why [then] doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?

Mo nga tamariki a Amona. Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Kahore ianei a Iharaira tamariki? kahore ana tangata hei whakarerenga iho mo ana taonga? na he aha a Kara i riro ai i a Marakomo, i noho ai tona iwi ki roto ki ona pa?

2 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD.

Mo reira, tenei nga ra te haere mai nei, e ai ta Ihowa, e meinga ai e ahau te whakaoho o te riri kia rangona ki Rapa o nga tama a Amona; a ka waiho hei puranga kua ururuatia, ka tahuna ana tamahine ki te ahi: a ka riro i a Iharaira te hunga i a r atou nei ia i mua, e ai ta Ihowa.

3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, [and] his priests and his princes together.

Aue, e Hehepona, kua pahuatia hoki a Hai; e tangi, e nga tamahine a Rapa, whitikiria koutou ki te kakahu taratara: e tangi, ka omaoma noa i waenga i nga taiepa; no te mea ka riro a Marakomo i te whakarau, ona tohunga me ona rangatira ngatahi ano.

4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, [saying], Who shall come unto me?

He aha koe i whakamanamana ai ki nga raorao, ki tou raorao taheke, e te tamahine tahurihuri ke? e whakawhirinaki nei ki ona taonga, e mea nei, Ko wai e haere mai ki ahau?

5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.

Nana, ka takina e ahau he wehi ki runga ki a koe, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano, he mea na te hunga katoa i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha; a ka aia rawatia atu koutou, tera, tera, ki waho, a kahore he kaitawhiu mai mo te mea i marara atu.

6 And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.

Hei muri ia ka whakahokia e ahau nga tama a Amona i te whakarau, e ai ta Ihowa.

7 Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; [Is] wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

Mo Eroma. Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Kua kahore ranei te whakaaro nui i Temana? kua moti ianei te whakatakoto korero a te hunga mohio? kua memeha ranei to ratou whakaaro nui?

8 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time [that] I will visit him.

E rere koutou, tahuri atu, hei roro riro noho ai, e nga tangata o Rerana; no te mea ka takina mai e ahau te aitua o Ehau ki runga ki a ia, i te wa e tirotiro ai ahau i a ia.

9 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave [some] gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.

Ki te tae atu he kaikohikohi karepe ki a koe, e kore ianei e mahue i a ratou etahi karepe hei hamunga? ki te mea he tahae i te po, e kore ianei ratou e tukituki kia makona rawa ratou?

10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he [is] not.

Kua takoto kau ia i ahau a Ehau, kua hurahia e ahau ona wahi ngaro, te ahei ia te huna i a ia: kua oti ona uri te pahua, ona teina me ona hoa tata, a kua kore hoki ia.

11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve [them] alive; and let thy widows trust in me.

Waiho au pani, maku e whakaora; ko ou pouaru, kia whakawhirinaki ratou ki ahau.

12 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment [was] not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink [of it].

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa: Nana, ko te hunga i takoto nei te tikanga kia kaua e inu i te kapu, he pono ka inumia e ratou; a ko koe ranei te mea e kore rawa e whiua? e kore e kore ka whiua koe, engari ka tino inu nei koe.

13 For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.

No te mea kua waiho ahau e ahau ano hei oati, e ai ta Ihowa, ka waiho a Potora hei miharotanga, hei ingoa kino, hei ururua, hei kanga ano hoki; a ka waiho ona pa katoa hei koraha ake ake.

14 I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, [saying], Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

Kua rangona e ahau he korero i a Ihowa, kua oti hoki te karere te tuku ki nga iwi, hei ki atu, Whakahuihui i a koutou, haere mai hoki ki a ia, a ka whakatika atu ki te whawhai.

15 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, [and] despised among men.

No te mea, na, kua meinga koe e ahau kia iti i roto i nga tauiwi, he mea whakahawea i roto i nga tangata.

16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, [and] the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.

Tena ko tou whakamataku, he whakakake no tou ngakau i pohewa ai koe, e koe e noho na i nga kapiti o te kamaka, e pupuri na i te wahi tiketike o te pukepuke: ahakoa hanga e koe tou ohanga kia rite ki to te ekara te tiketike, ka whakahokia iho koe e ahau i reira, e ai ta Ihowa.

17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.

A ka meinga a Eroma hei miharotanga: ko nga tangata katoa e tika ana na reira, ka miharo, ka hi mai ki ona whiunga katoa.

18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour [cities] thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.

Ka rite ki te hurihanga o Horoma, o Komora, o nga pa hoki i tata ki reira, e ai ta Ihowa, e kore tetahi tangata e whai kainga ki reira, e kore hoki tetahi tama a te tangata e noho ki reira.

19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will stand before me?

Nana, ka rite ia ki te raiona e haere ake ana i te whakamanamana o Horano ki te nohoanga kaha: otiia ka meinga ohoreretia ai e ahau kia rere atu i a ia; a ko wai te mea e whiriwhiria e ahau ko ia hei rangatira mona? Ko wai hoki e rite ana ki aha u? ko wai hei whakarite he wa moku? ko wai ano tenei hepara hei tu ki toku aroaro?

20 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.

Mo reira whakarongo ki te tikanga a Ihowa kua whakatakotoria e ia mo Eroma; ki ona whakaaro hoki, kua whakaaroa e ia mo nga tangata o Temana: He pono ka toia atu ratou, ara nga mea ririki o te kahui; he pono ka meinga e ia to ratou nohoanga, rat ou hoki kia ngaro.

21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.

Oho ana te whenua i te haruru o to ratou hinganga: tera te hamama, rangona ana mai tona ngangau i te Moana Whero.

22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

Nana, ka haere mai ia a ka rere ano he ekara, a ka roha atu ona parirau ki runga ki Potora: a ka rite te ngakau o nga marohirohi o Eroma i taua ra ki te ngakau o te wahine e whakamamae ana.

23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; [there is] sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.

Mo Ramahiku. Kua whakama a Hamata, raua ko Arapara; no te mea kua tae he rongo kino ki a ratou, harotu kau ratou: tera te tangi kei te moana; kahore e marino.

24 Damascus is waxed feeble, [and] turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on [her: ] anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.

Kua ngoikore a Ramahiku, kua anga ki te rere, mau pu hoki i te wehi: kua rokohanga hoki ia e te raru, e te mamae, me te mea he wahine e whanau ana.

25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!

Taukiri e! kihai i mahue te pa e whakamoemititia ana, te pa i koa ai ahau!

26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.

Heoi hinga ana ana taitama i ona waharoa, moti pu nga tangata whawhai katoa i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.

Na ka tahuna ano e ahau he ahi i roto i te taiepa o Ramahiku, a ka pau i reira nga whare kingi o Peneharara.

28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.

Mo Kerara, mo nga kingitanga hoki o Hatoro i patua nei e Nepukareha kingi o Papurona. Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Whakatika koutou, whakaekea a Kerara, pahuatia hoki nga tama o te rawhiti.

29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear [is] on every side.

Ka tangohia e ratou o ratou teneti, a ratou hipi; a ka mauria atu e ratou ma ratou o ratou kakahu arai, a ratou oko katoa, me a ratou kamera: a tera ratou e karanga ki a ratou, He wehi kei nga taha katoa.

30 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.

E rere koutou, haere atu ki tawhiti, nohoia a roto riro, e nga tangata o Hatoro, e ai ta Ihowa; kua takoto hoki te tikanga a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona mo koutou, kua whakaaroa hoki e ia he whakaaro mo koutou.

31 Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, [which] dwell alone.

Whakatika, whakaekea te iwi e noho ana i te rangimarie, e noho kore wehi na, e ai ta Ihowa; kahore na o ratou keti, kahore he tutaki, e noho takitahi ana.

32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them [that are] in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD.

A ka pahuatia a ratou kamera, a hei taonga parau hoki te tini o a ratou kararehe: a ka whakamararatia e ahau ki nga hau katoa te hunga i tapahia nga tapa o o ratou makawe; a ka takina mai e ahau te aitua mo ratou i nga taha katoa o ratou, e ai t a Ihowa.

33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, [and] a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor [any] son of man dwell in it.

A hei nohoanga a Hatoro mo nga kuri mohoao, hei ururua ake ake: e kore tetahi tangata e whai kainga ki reira, e kore ano hoki tetahi tama a te tangata e noho ki reira.

34 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

Ko te kupu a Ihowa i puta mai ki a Heremaia poropiti mo Erama i te timatanga o te kingitanga o Terekia kingi o Hura; i mea ia,

35 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Nana, ka whatiia e ahau te kopere a Erama, te mea nui rawa o to ratou kaha.

36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

A ka takina atu e ahau nga hau e wha i nga pito e wha o te rangi ki runga ki Erama, a ka titaritaria atu ratou e ahau ki aua hau katoa; kahore hoki he iwi e kore te taea atu e te hunga o Erama ka peia atu nei.

37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, [even] my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:

A ka meinga e ahau a Erama kia wehi i te aroaro o ona hoariri, i te aroaro hoki o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea ratou: ka takina hoki e ahau he kino ki runga ki a ratou, ko toku riri e mura ana, e ai ta Ihowa; a ka unga e ahau te hoari ki m uri i a ratou, a kia poto ra ano ratou i ahau:

38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.

Na ka whakaturia e ahau toku torona ki Erama, a ka whakakahoretia atu to reira kingi, ratou ko nga rangatira, e ai ta Ihowa.

39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, [that] I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.

Otiia hei nga ra whakamutunga ka whakahokia e ahau a Erama i te whakarau, e ai ta Ihowa.
