Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word, O house of Israel, That YHWH has spoken for you.
Whakarongo ki te kupu kua korerotia nei e Ihowa ki a koutou, e te whare o Iharaira:
2 Thus said YHWH: “Do not accustom yourselves to the way of the nations, And do not be frightened by the signs of the heavens, For the nations are frightened by them.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kaua e akona te ara o nga tauiwi, kaua ano e wehi i nga tohu o te rangi; e wehi ana hoki nga tauiwi i aua mea.
3 For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For one has cut a tree from a forest, Work of the hands of a craftsman, with an axe,
He mea teka noa hoki nga tikanga a nga iwi: e tapahia ana hoki e tetahi he rakau i roto i te ngahere, he mahi na nga ringa o te kaimahi, ki te titaha.
4 They beautify it with silver and with gold, They fix it with nails and with hammers, And it does not stumble.
Kei te whakapaipai i taua mea ki te hiriwa, ki te koura, whakamau rawa ki nga titi, ki nga hama, te taea te whakakorikori.
5 They [are] stiff as a palm, and they do not speak, They are surely carried, for they do not step, Do not be afraid of them, for they do no evil, Indeed, to do good is also not in them.”
He rite aua mea ki te nikau, i ata mahia, kahore ia he kupu; me amo, he kore no ratou e haere. Kaua e wehi i a ratou, no te mea e kore e taea e ratou te kino, kahore hoki e ahei i a ratou te mea i te pai.
6 Because there is none like You, O YHWH, You [are] great, and Your Name [is] great in might.
Kahore rawa he rite mou, e Ihowa; he nui koe, he nui ano tou ingoa i runga i te kaha.
7 Who does not fear You, King of the nations? For it is befitting to You, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom, there is none like You.
Ko wai e kore e wehi i a koe, e te Kingi o nga iwi? he tika hoki tena ki a koe; no te mea i roto i nga tangata whakaaro nui katoa o nga iwi, i roto i o ratou kingitanga katoa, kahore he rite mou.
8 And as one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities [is] the tree itself.
Huihuia ratou, he poauau rawa, he wairangi: ko ta nga whakapakoko e whakaako ai, he rakau tonu ia.
9 Spread-out silver is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, Work of an artisan, and of the hands of a refiner, Their clothing [is] blue and purple, Work of the skillful—all of them.
E maua mai ana he hiriwa paraharaha i Tarahihi, he koura i Upata, he mahi na te kaimahi, na nga ringa ano o te kaiwhakarewa koura: he puru, he papura o ratou kakahu; he mea mahi katoa na te hunga tohunga.
10 And YHWH [is] a God of truth, He [is] a living God, and a perpetual King, The earth shakes from His wrath, And nations do not endure His indignation.
Ko Ihowa ia te Atua pono, ko ia te Atua ora, he kingi pumau tonu; ka riri ia, ka wiri te whenua, e kore ano nga iwi e kaha ake ina aritarita ia.
11 Thus you say to them, “The gods who have not made the heavens and earth, They perish from the earth, And from under these heavens.”
Kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki a ratou, Ko nga atua kihai nei i hanga i te rangi, i te whenua, ka ngaro i runga i te whenua, i raro atu ano hoki nga rangi.
12 The Maker of the earth by His power, The Establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens—
Nana i hanga te whenua, na tona kaha hoki; ko te ao he mea whakapumau na ona whakaaro nui; ko nga rangi he mea hora na tona matauranga.
13 When He gives forth His voice, A multitude of waters [is] in the heavens, And He causes vapors to come up from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for rain, And brings out wind from His treasures.
Ka puaki tona reo, he haruru wai kei nga rangi, e meinga ana e ia nga kohu kia pupu ake i nga pito o te whenua; e hanga ana e ia nga uira mo te ua, e whakaputaina mai ana te hau i roto i ona whare taonga.
14 Every man is brutish by knowledge, Every refiner is put to shame by a carved image, For his molten image [is] false. And there is no breath in them.
Poauau kau nga tangata katoa, a kahore he mohio: ko nga kaiwhakarewa koura katoa whakama iho i te whakapakoko: he mea teka hoki tana i whakarewa ai, kahore hoki he wairua i roto.
15 They [are] vanity, work of erring ones, They perish in the time of their inspection.
He horihori kau ratou, he mahi pohehe; i te wa e pa ai ia ki a ratou ka ngaro.
16 The Portion of Jacob [is] not like these, For He [is] the Framer of all things, And Israel [is] the rod of His inheritance, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
Kahore e rite ki era te wahi i a Hakopa; ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaahua o nga mea katoa; ko Iharaira hoki te iwi o tona kainga tupu, ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa.
17 Gather your merchandise from the land, O dweller in the bulwark,
Kohikohia au mea i te whenua, e koe e noho na i te pa e whakapaea ana.
18 For thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, And have been an adversary to them, So that they are found out.”
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Tenei ahau te piupiu atu nei i nga tangata o te whenua i tenei wa, te whakatupu kino nei hoki i a ratou, kia kitea ai e ratou.
19 Woe to me for my breaking, My striking has been grievous, And I said, “Surely this [is] my sickness, and I bear it.”
Aue, te mate i ahau, mamae rawa toku marutanga: otiia kua mea nei ahau, He pono noku tenei mate, me whakamanawanui.
20 My tent has been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out my tent anymore, And raising up my curtains.
Kua pahuatia toku teneti, ko aku aho motumotu katoa: kua rito atu aku tamariki i toku taha, kua kore: kahore ake he tangata hei whakamaro i toku teneti, hei whakaara i oku kakahu arai.
21 For the shepherds have become brutish, And they have not sought YHWH, Therefore they have not acted wisely, And all their flock is scattered.
Kua poauau nei hoki nga hepara; kihai a Ihowa i rapua e ratou; na reira i kore ai e tika ta ratou, ka marara hoki a ratou kahui katoa.
22 A voice of a report, behold, it has come, Even a great shaking from the north country, To make the cities of Judah a desolation, A habitation of dragons.
Nana, te haere mai nei te reo o nga korero, nui atu te whakaohooho, no te whenua ki te raki, hei mea i nga pa o Hura hei ururua, hei nohoanga mo nga kirehe mohoao.
23 I have known, O YHWH, that not of man [is] his way, Not of man [is] the going and establishing of his step.
E mohio ana ano ahau, e Ihowa, kahore o te tangata ara i a ia ake ano: kahore hoki i te tangata e haereere nei mana e whakatikatika ona hikoinga.
24 Discipline me, O YHWH, only in judgment, Not in Your anger, lest You make me small.
Pakia ahau, e Ihowa, me te whakariterite ano ia; kauaka ina riri koe, kei kahore ahau i a koe.
25 Pour out Your fury on the nations that have not known You, And on the families that have not called on Your Name, For they have eaten up Jacob, Indeed, they have eaten him up, indeed, they consume him, And they have made his habitation desolate!
Ringihia atu tou riri ki nga tauiwi kahore nei e matau ki a koe, ki nga hapu kahore nei e karanga ki tou ingoa; kua pau hoki a Hakopa i a ratou, ae ra, pau rawa, moti rawa, ko tona mohoanga hoki whakaururuatia ana e ratou.
