Jeremiah 1
1 Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
Ko nga kupu a Heremaia tama a Hirikia, ko ia nei tetahi o nga tohunga i Anatoto i te whenua o Pineamine:
2 to whom the word of YHWH has been in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
I puta nei ki a ia te kupu a Ihowa i nga ra o Hohia tama a Amono, kingi o Hura, i te tekau ma toru o nga tau o tona kingitanga.
3 and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the expulsion of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
I puta ano hoki i nga ra o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura, a taka noa te tekau ma tahi o nga tau o Terekia tama a Hohia kingi o Hura, taea noatia te whakaraunga o Hiruharama i te rima o nga marama.
4 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Na i puta te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
5 “Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come forth from the womb I have separated you; I have made you a prophet to the nations.”
Kiano koe i hanga e ahau i roto i te kopu, kua mohio ahau ki a koe, a kiano koe i puta mai i te puku, kua whakatapua koe e ahau; kua whakaritea koe e ahau hei poropiti ki nga iwi.
6 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth.”
Na ka mea ahau, Aue, e Ihowa, e te Atua, nana, kahore e taea e ahau te korero, he tamariki nei hoki ahau.
7 And YHWH says to me, “Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send you—go, and all that I command you—speak.
Ano ra ko Ihowa ki ahau, Kaua e mea, He tamariki ahau: no te mea, ahakoa ko wai te hunga e unga atu ai koe e ahau, me haere tonu koe, me korero hoki e koe nga mea katoa e whakahaua e ahau ki a koe.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you,” a declaration of YHWH.
Kaua e wehi i a ratou; kei a koe hoki ahau hei whakaora i a koe, e ai ta Ihowa.
9 And YHWH puts forth His hand, and strikes against my mouth, and YHWH says to me, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
Na ka totoro mai te ringa o Ihowa, a ka pa ki toku mangai; a ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Nana, kua hoatu nei e ahau aku kupu ki tou mangai:
10 See, I have charged you this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.”
Titiro, no tenei ra i meinga ai koe e ahau hei whakatakoto tikanga ki nga iwi, ki nga kingitanga, hei unu atu, hei wahi iho, hei whakangaro, hei turaki iho, hei hanga, hei whakato.
11 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “I am seeing a rod of an almond tree.”
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea, He aha te mea e kite na koe, e Heremaia? Ano ra ko ahau, He peka aramona taku e kite nei.
12 And YHWH says to me, “You have seen well: for I am watching over My word to do it.”
Ano ra ko Ihowa ki ahau, Ka pai tau tirohanga atu; no te mea ka tirohia e ahau taku kupu, ka mahia.
13 And there is a word of YHWH to me a second time, saying, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I am seeing a blown pot, and its face [is] from the north.”
Na ko te rua o nga putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia, He aha te mea e kite na koe? Ano ra ko ahau, He kohua e koropupu ana taku e kite nei, a ko tona mata e anga mai ana i te raki.
14 And YHWH says to me, “From the north the evil is loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Ka puta mai i te raki he kino mo nga tangata katoa o te whenua.
15 For behold, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north,” a declaration of YHWH, “And they have come, and each put his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls all around, and by all cities of Judah.
Tenei hoki ahau te karanga nei ki nga hapu katoa o nga kingitanga o te raki, e ai ta Ihowa; a ka haere mai ratou, ka whakatu i tona torona, i tona torona, ki te tomokanga i nga kuwaha o Hiruharama, ki ona taiepa katoa, a karapoi noa, ki nga pa k atoa ano o Hura.
16 And I have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, and bow themselves to the works of their own hands.
Ka puaki ano i ahau aku whakawakanga ki a ratou mo o ratou kino katoa; mo ratou i whakarere i ahau, i tahu whakakakara ki nga atua ke, i koropiko ki nga mahi a o ratou ringa.
17 And you, you gird up your loins, and have arisen, and spoken to them all that I command you: do not be frightened because of them, lest I frighten you before them.
Na, ko koe, whitikiria tou hope, whakatika, korerotia ki a ratou nga mea katoa e whakahaua e ahau ki a koe; aua e wehi i a ratou, kei meinga koe e ahau kia numinumi kau ki to ratou aroaro.
18 And I, behold, have given you this day for a fortified city, and for an iron pillar, and for bronze walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;
No te mea hoki kua meinga koe e ahau i tenei ra hei pa taiepa, hei pou rino, hei taiepa parahi ki te whenua katoa, ki nga kingi o Hura, ki ona rangatira, ki ona tohunga, ki te iwi ano o te whenua.
19 and they have fought against you, and they do not prevail against you; for I [am] with you,” a declaration of YHWH, “to deliver you.”
A ka whawhai ratou ki a koe, otira e kore koe e taea e ratou; no te mea kei a koe ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, hei whakaora i a koe.
