Jeremias 3
1 If a man put away his wife, and she depart from him, and become another man's, shall she return to him any more at all? shall not that woman be utterly defiled? you you have gone a-whoring with many shepherds, and have returned to me, says the Lord.
E korerotia ana, kite whakarerea e te tangata tana wahine, a ka haere atu ia i tona taha, ka riro i te tane ke, e hoki ano ranei ia ki a ia? E kore ianei taua whenua e poke rawa? Ko koe ia kua kairau ki nga hoa tokomaha: na, hoki mai ki ahau, e a i ta Ihowa.
2 Lift up your eyes [to look] straight forward, and see where you have not been utterly defiled. You have sat for them by the wayside as a deserted crow, and have defiled the land with your fornications and your wickedness.
Kia ara ou kanohi ki nga pukepuke moremore, tirohia; ko tehea te wahi i kore ai koe e puremutia? Nohoia atu ana ratou e koe i nga ara, pera ana me te Arapi i te koraha; a poke iho i a koe te whenua i ou kairautanga, i tau mahi kino.
3 And you did retain many shepherds for a stumbling block to yourself: you had a whore's face, you did become shameless toward all.
Na reira i kaiponuhia ai nga ua, kahore hoki he ua o muri; engari he rae tou no te wahine kairau, e whakakahore ana ki te whakama.
4 Hast you not called me as it were a home, and the father and guide of your virgin-time?
E kore ianei koe e karanga ki ahau i nga wa a muri nei, E toku papa, ko koe te kaiarahi o toku taitamarikitanga?
5 Will [God's anger] continue for ever, or be preserved to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done these bad things, and had power [to do them].
E mau ranei tona riri a ake ake? E whakapumautia tonutia ranei e ia? Nana, kua korerotia e koe, kua mahia nga mea kino, kua rite ki tau.
6 And the Lord said to me in the days of Josias the king, Hast you seen what things the house of Israel has done to me? they have gone on every high mountain, and under every shady tree, and have committed fornication there.
I ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau i nga ra o Kingi Hohia, Kua kite ranei koe i nga mahi a Iharaira tahuri ke? kua haere ia ki runga ki nga maunga tiketike katoa, ki raro i nga rakau kouru nui katoa, ki reira kairau ai.
7 And I said after she had committed all these acts of fornication, Turn again to me. Yet she returned not. And faithless Juda saw her faithlessness.
I mea ano ahau i muri i tana meatanga i enei mea katoa, Ka hoki mai ia ki ahau; heoi kihai ia i hoki mai, me te titiro ano tona tuakana tinihanga, a Hura.
8 And I saw that (for all the sins of which she was convicted, wherein the house of Israel committed adultery, and I put her away, and gave into her hands a bill of divorcement, ) yet faithless Juda feared not, but went and herself also committed fornication.
A i kite ahau, i taku peinga atu i a Iharaira tahuri ke mo taua take nei ano, mo tona puremutanga, a i taku hoatutanga he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia, na kihai tona tuakana, a Hura tinihanga i wehi; heoi haere ana ano ia, kairau ana.
9 And her fornication was nothing accounted of; and she committed adultery with wood and stone.
Na, ko te otinga, kua poke te whenua i te rongo o tona puremutanga, puremu ana ia ki te kohatu, ki te rakau.
10 And for all these things faithless Juda turned not to me with all her heart, but falsely.
Na ahakoa ko tenei katoa, kihai i whakapaua te ngakau o tona tuakana tinihanga, o Hura, ki te hoki ki ahau; he hoki teka kau ia, e ai ta Ihowa.
11 And the Lord said to me, Israel has justified himself more than faithless Juda.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, A Iharaira tahuri ke, nui atu tana whakatika i a ia i ta Hura, i ta te mea tinihanga.
12 Go and read these words toward the north, and you shall say, Return to me, O house of Israel, says the Lord; and I will not set my face against you: for I am merciful, says the Lord, and I will not be angry with you for ever.
Haere, karangatia enei kupu whaka te raki, mea atu, Hoki mai, e Iharaira tahuri ke, e ai ta Ihowa; e kore ahau e mea i toku riri kia tau ki a koutou; he atawhai hoki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, e kore ahau e mauahara tonu.
13 Nevertheless, know your iniquity, that you have sinned against the Lord your God, and have scattered your ways to strangers under every shady tree, but you did not listen to my voice, says the Lord.
Whakina kautia tou he, ara kua kino koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kua whakamararatia atu e koe ou ara ki nga tangata ke i raro i nga rakau kouru nui katoa, kihai ano i rongo ki toku reo, e ai ta Ihowa.
14 Turn, you children that have revolted, says the Lord; for I will rule over you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you in to Sion:
Hoki mai, e nga tamariki tahuri ke, e ai ta Ihowa; kua marenatia hoki koutou e ahau: a ka tangohia koutou e ahau, tetahi i roto i te pa, tokorua hoki i roto i te hapu, ka kawea ano koutou e ahau ki Hiona.
15 and I will give you shepherds after my heart, and they shall certainly tend you with knowledge.
A ka hoatu e ahau he hepara mo koutou, ko aku i pai ai, ka whangaia ano koutou e ratou ki te matauranga, ki te whakaaro pai.
16 And it shall come to pass that when you are multiplied and increased upon the land, says the Lord, in those days they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Holy One of Israel: it shall not come to mind; it shall not be named; neither shall it be visited; nor shall [this] be done any more.
A tenei ake, ina nui, ina hua koutou ki te whenua i aua ra e ai ta Ihowa, heoi ano a ratou kianga ake, Ko te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa; e kore ano e puta ake ki te ngakau; e kore hoki e maharatia taua mea e ratou, e kore ano ratou e haereere ki reira, kahore hoki he mahinga pera i muri iho.
17 In those days and at that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered to it: and they shall not walk any more after the imaginations of their evil heart.
I taua wa ka kiia e ratou a Hiruharama, ko te torona o Ihowa; a ka huihuia nga iwi katoa ki reira, ki te ingoa o Ihowa, ki Hiruharama; a heoi ano to ratou haere i runga i te maro o o ratou ngakau kino.
18 In those days the house of Juda, shall come together to the house of Israel, and they shall come, together, from the land of the north, and from all the countries, to the land, which I caused their fathers to inherit.
I aua ra ka haere tahi te whare o Hura raua ko te whare o Iharaira, ka huihuia ano to ratou haere mai i te whenua i te raki, ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau hei kainga tupu ki o koutou matua.
19 And I said, So be it, Lord, for [you said] I will set you among children, and will give you a choice land, the inheritance of the Almighty God of the Gentiles: and I said, You shall call me Father; and you shall not turn away from me.
I mea ano ahau, Me pehea e oti ai koe te whakauru e ahau ki nga tamariki, e hoatu ai e ahau ki a koe he whenua e minaminatia ana, he kainga tupu, he wahi ataahua no nga mano o nga iwi? i mea ano ahau, ka karangatia ahau e koe, E toku papa, e kor e ano koe e tahuri atu i te whai i ahau.
20 But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against me, says the Lord.
Rite rawa ki ta te wahine i whakarere tinihanga i tana tahu ta koutou mahi tinihanga ki ahau, e te whare o Iharaira, e ai ta Ihowa?
21 A voice from the lips was heard, [even] of weeping and supplication of the children of Israel: for they have dealt unrighteously in their ways, they have forgotten God their Holy One.
E rangona ana he reo i runga i nga puke moremore, ko te tangi, ko nga inoi hoki a nga tama a Iharaira; mo ratou i whakaparori ke i to ratou ara, wareware ake i a ratou a Ihowa, to ratou Atua.
22 Turn, you children that are given to turning, and I will heal your bruises. Behold, we will be your servants; for you are the Lord our God.
Hoki mai, e nga tamariki tahuri ke, maku e rongoa o koutou tahuritanga ketanga. Tenei matou te haere atu nei ki a koe; ko koe hoki a Ihowa, to matou Atua.
23 Truly the hills and the strength of the mountains were a lying refuge: but by the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
He pono, he hori kau te awhina e taria ana mai i nga pukepuke, te nge i runga i nga maunga: tika rawa kei a Ihowa, kei to tatou Atua te whakaora mo Iharaira.
24 But shame has consumed the labors of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their calves, and their sons and their daughters.
Kua pau hoki i te mea whakama te mauiui o o tatou matua, no to tatou tamarikitanga ake ano; a ratou hipi, a ratou kau, a ratou tama, me a ratou tamahine.
25 We have lain down in our shame, and our disgrace has covered us: because we and our fathers have sinned before our God, from our youth until this day; and we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God.
Takoto tatou i roto i to tatou whakama, ma to tatou matangerengere tatou e hipoki: kua hara hoki tatou ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, tatou ko o tatou matua, no to tatou tamarikitanga ake ano a mohoa noa nei; kihai hoki tatou i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.
