Jeremiah 17
1 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond, Engraved on the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars,
Kua oti te hara o Hura te tuhituhi ki te pene rino, ki te mata hoki o te taimana: he mea whaowhao rawa ki te papa o to ratou ngakau, ki runga hoki ki nga haona o a koutou aata;
2 As their sons remember their altars and their Asherim, By the green tree, by the high hills.
I a ratou tamariki e mahara ana ki a ratou aata, ki a ratou Aherimi hoki i te taha o nga rakau kouru nui i runga i nga pukepuke tiketike.
3 O My mountain in the field—your strength, All your treasures—I give for a prey, Your high places for sin in all your borders.
E toku maunga i te parae, ka hoatu e ahau ou rawa, ou taonga katoa kia pahuatia, me ou wahi tiketike, he mea mo te hara, puta noa i ou rohe katoa.
4 And you have let go—even through yourself, Of your inheritance that I gave to you, And I have caused you to serve your enemies, In a land that you have not known, For you have kindled a fire in My anger, It burns for all time.”
A ko koe, nau ake ano, ka mutu ki tou kainga tupu i hoatu na e ahau ki a koe; a ka meinga koe e ahau kia mahi ki ou hoariri ki te whenua kihai i mohiotia e koe: no te mea kua tahuna e koutou he ahi i ahau e riri ana, ko tona ka mo ake tonu atu.
5 Thus said YHWH: “Cursed [is] the man who trusts in man, And has made flesh his arm, And whose heart turns from YHWH.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka kanga te tangata e whakawhirinaki ana ki te tangata, e mea ana hoki i te kikokiko hei ringa mona, e kotiti ke ana hoki tona ngakau i a Ihowa.
6 And he has been as a naked thing in a desert, And does not see when good comes, And has inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.
Ka rite hoki ia ki te manoao i te koraha, e kore hoki e kite i te putanga mai o te pai; engari ko nga wahi waikore o te koraha hei kainga mona, he whenua tote, e kore nei e nohoia.
7 Blessed [is] the man who trusts in YHWH, And whose confidence has been YHWH.
Ka manaakitia te tangata e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa, ko Ihowa tana e tumanako ai.
8 And has been as a tree planted by waters, And he sends forth his roots by a stream, And he does not see when heat comes, And his leaf has been green, And he is not sorrowful in a year of scarcity, Nor does he cease from making fruit.
Ka rite hoki ia ki te rakau i whakatokia ki te taha o nga wai, e toro nei ona pakiaka ki te awa, a kahore e wehi i te tikakatanga mai o te ra, engari ka matomato tonu tona rau; e kore e manukanuka i te tau raki, e kore ano hoki e mutu tona whai h ua.
9 The heart [is] deceitful above all things, And it [is] incurable—who knows it?
Ko te ngakau, he mea tinihanga atu i nga mea katoa, a he tino mate rawa: e mohiotia ranei e wai?
10 I, YHWH, search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.
Ko taku, ko ta Ihowa, he rapu i te ngakau, he whakamatautau i nga whatumanawa, kia hoatu ai ki tenei, ki tenei kia rite ki tona ara ake, kia rite hoki ki nga hua o ana mahi.
11 A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, [Is] one making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he forsakes it, And in his latter end—he is a fool.”
Ka rite ki te patiri, e whakawhaiti nei i nga pi, ehara i a ia i whakawhanau, he pera te tangata e whiwhi ana ki te taonga, a kahore i tika mana; i waenganui o ona ra ka mahue ia i a ratou, a wairangi noa iho ia i tona mutunga iho.
12 A throne of glory on high from the beginning, The place of our sanctuary,
Ko to tatou wahi tapu he torona kororia, he mea whakanoho ki te wahi tiketike mai i te timatanga.
13 The hope of Israel [is] YHWH, All forsaking You are ashamed. “And My apostates are written in the earth, For they have forsaken YHWH, A fountain of living waters.”
E Ihowa, e ta Iharaira e tumanako nei, ka whakama te hunga katoa e whakarere ana i a koe; ka tuhituhia ki te whenua te hunga e kotiti ana i ahau, mo ratou i whakarere i a Ihowa, i te puna wai ora.
14 Heal me, O YHWH, and I am healed, Save me, and I am saved, For You [are] my praise.
Rongoatia ahau, e Ihowa, a ka mahu toku mate; whakaorangia ahau, a ka ora ahau: ko koe hoki taku e whakamoemiti ai.
15 Behold, they are saying to me: “Where [is] the word of YHWH? Pray, let it come.”
Nana, kei te ki mai ratou ki ahau, Kei hea te kupu a Ihowa? tena ra, kia puta mai.
16 And I did not hurry from feeding after You, And I have not desired the desperate day, You have known the produce of my lips, It has been before Your face,
Na, ko ahau nei, kihai ahau i hohoro atu i te mahi hepara i muri i a koe, kihai hoki i hiahia ki te ra o te mamae; e mohio ana ano koe: i mua i tou kanohi te mea i puta mai i oku ngutu.
17 Do not be to me for a terror, You [are] my hope in a day of calamity.
Kei waiho koe hei whakawehi moku: ko koe taku e whakamanawa atu ai i te ra o te he.
18 Let my pursuers be ashamed, And do not let me be ashamed—me! Let them be frightened, And do not let me be frightened—me! Bring in on them a day of calamity, And destroy them a second time [with] destruction.
Kia whakama te hunga e tukino ana i ahau, kaua ia ahau e whakama: kia wehi ratou, kaua ia ahau e wehi: kawea te ra o te kino ki runga ki a ratou, kia rua hoki nga whakangaromanga e whakangaro ai koe i a ratou.
19 Thus said YHWH to me: “Go, and you have stood in the gate of the sons of the people, by which kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all gates of Jerusalem,
I penei mai ta Ihowa kupu ki ahau, Haere, e tu ki te kuwaha o nga tama a te iwi, e tomo ai nga kingi o Hura, e haere atu ai hoki, a ki nga kuwaha katoa o Hiruharama:
20 and you have said to them: Hear a word of YHWH, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are coming in by these gates,”
A ka mea ki a ratou, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e nga kingi o Hura, e Hura katoa, e nga tangata katoa hoki o Hiruharama, e tomo nei ma enei kuwaha:
21 Thus said YHWH: “Take heed to yourselves, And you do not bear a burden on the day of rest, Nor have you brought [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kia tupato ki a koutou, a kaua he kawenga e waha i te ra hapati, kaua ano e maua mai ki roto ma nga kuwaha o Hiruharama;
22 Nor do you take out a burden from your houses on the day of rest, Indeed, you do not do any work, And you have sanctified the day of rest, As I have commanded your fathers.
Kaua hoki he kawenga e maua atu i o koutou whare i te ra hapati, kaua hoki koutou e mahi i tetahi mahi; engari me whakatapu e koutou te ra hapati, kia rite ki taku i whakahau ai ki o koutou matua;
23 And they have not listened nor inclined their ear, And they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive instruction.
Otiia kihai ratou i rongo, kihai hoki i tahuri to ratou taringa, engari i whakapakeke i to ratou kaki, kei rongo ratou, kei manako hoki ki te ako.
24 And it has been, if you certainly listen to Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “So as not to bring in a burden by the gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day of rest, So as not to do any work in it—
Na, ki te ata whakarongo koutou ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, kia kaua e mau kawenga ma nga kuwaha o tenei pa i te ra hapati, engari kia whakatapu i te ra hapati, kia kaua e mahi i tetahi mahi i reira;
25 Then kings and princes have entered by the gates of this city, Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in a chariot, and on horses, They, and their princes, the man of Judah, And inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city has remained for all time.
Katahi ka tomo ki nga kuwaha o tenei pa he kingi, he rangatira, e noho ana i runga i te torona o Rawiri, e eke ana ki te hariata, ki te hoiho, ratou, a ratou rangatira, me nga tangata o Hura, me te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama; a ka tuturu tene i pa a ake ake.
26 And they have come in from cities of Judah, And from outskirts of Jerusalem, And from the land of Benjamin, And from the low country, And from the hill-country, And from the south, Bringing in burnt-offering, and sacrifice, And present, and frankincense, And bringing praise [to] the house of YHWH.
A ka haere mai nga tangata i nga pa o Hura, i nga wahi i nga taha o Hiruharama, i te whenua o Pineamine, i te mania, i nga maunga, i te tonga hoki, me te mau mai he tahunga tinana, he patunga tapu, he whakahere, he whakakakara, a ka maua mai hok i he whakawhetai, ki te whare o Ihowa.
27 And if you do not listen to Me to sanctify the day of rest, And so as not to bear a burden, And to come in at the gates of Jerusalem on the day of rest, Then I have kindled a fire in its gates, And it has consumed the high places of Jerusalem, And it is not quenched!”
Ki te kore ia koutou e whakarongo ki taku kia whakatapua te ra hapati, kia kaua hoki e maua he kawenga, a ka tomo ki nga kuwaha o Hiruharama i te ra hapati; katahi ka ngiha i ahau he ahi i nga kuwaha o reira, a ka pau nga whare kingi o Hiruharam a, e kore ano e tineia.
