Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been from YHWH, saying,
I te timatanga o te kingitanga o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura, ka puta mai tenei kupu i a Ihowa; i mea ia,
2 “Thus said YHWH: Stand in the court of the house of YHWH, and you have spoken to all [those of] the cities of Judah, who are coming to bow themselves in the house of YHWH, all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them—you do not diminish a word.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; E tu ki te marae o te whare o Ihowa, korerotia hoki ki nga pa katoa o Hura e haere mai ana ki te koropiko i roto i te whare o Ihowa, nga kupu katoa e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe kia korerotia ki a ratou; kaua tetahi kupu e kaiponuhia:
3 Perhaps they listen, and each turns back from his evil way; then I have relented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings.
Tera pea ka rongo ratou, a ka tahuri ia tangata, ia tangata, i o ratou ara kino; kia puta ke ai toku whakaaro mo te kino, e mea nei ahau kia meatia ki a ratou mo te kino o a ratou mahi.
4 And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: If you do not listen to Me, to walk in My law that I set before you,
A ka ki atu koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ki te kahore koutou e rongo ki ahau, ka haere i runga i taku ture kua hoatu nei e ahau ki to koutou aroaro,
5 to listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending to you, indeed, rising early and sending, and you have not listened,
E rongo ki nga kupu a aku pononga, a nga poropiti e unga nei e ahau ki a koutou, maranga wawe ai i te ata a ka unga i a ratou, otiia kihai koutou i rongo;
6 then I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all nations of the earth.”
Na ka meinga e ahau tenei whare kia rite ki Hiro, ka meinga hoki tenei pa hei kanga ma nga iwi katoa o te whenua.
7 And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, hear Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of YHWH,
A ka rongo nga tohunga, nga poropiti, me te iwi katoa i a Heremaia, e korero ana i enei kupu i te whare o Ihowa.
8 and it comes to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah’s speaking all that YHWH has commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the people catch him, saying, “You surely die!
Na, i te mutunga o te korero a Heremaia i nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai ia e Ihowa kei korerotia ki te iwi katoa, ka hopukia ia e nga tohunga, e nga poropiti, e te iwi katoa hoki, me te ki, Ko te mate kau mou.
9 Why have you prophesied in the Name of YHWH, saying, This house will be as Shiloh, and this city is desolated, without inhabitant?” And all the people are assembled to Jeremiah in the house of YHWH.
He aha koe i poropiti ai i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, i ki ai, Ka rite tenei whare ki Hiro, ka ururuatia tenei pa, te ai he tangata hei noho? Na, i te huihui te iwi katoa ki a Heremaia, ki te whare o Ihowa.
10 And the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up from the house of the king [to] the house of YHWH, and sit in the opening of the New Gate of YHWH.
A, no te rongonga o nga rangatira o Hura ki enei mea, ka haere atu ratou i te whare o te kingi ki te whare o Ihowa, a noho ana i te kuwaha o te keti hou o te whare o Ihowa.
11 And the priests and the prophets speak to the heads, and to all the people, saying, “Judgment of death [is] for this man, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
Katahi ka korero nga tohunga ratou ko nga poropiti ki nga rangatira, ki te iwi katoa hoki, ka mea, Ka tika te mate mo tenei tangata; kua poropiti hoki ia i te he mo tenei pa; kua rongo na hoki o koutou taringa.
12 And Jeremiah speaks to all the heads, and to all the people, saying, “YHWH sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city, all the words that you have heard.
Katahi a Heremaia ka korero ki nga rangatira katoa, ki te iwi katoa, ka mea, Na Ihowa ahau i unga mai ki te poropiti mo tenei whare, mo tenei pa, i nga kupu katoa i rongo na koutou.
13 And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and listen to the voice of your God YHWH, and YHWH relents concerning the evil that He has spoken against you.
Na reira whakatikatikaia o koutou ara, a koutou mahi, whakarongo hoki ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua; a ka ripeneta a Ihowa ki te kino i korerotia e ia mo koutou.
14 And I, behold, I [am] in your hand, do to me as is good and as is right in your eyes;
Tena ko ahau, kei roto ahau i to koutou ringa: ma koutou e mea ki ahau te mea e pai ana, e rite ana ki ta koutou titiro.
15 only, certainly know that if you are putting me to death, you are surely putting innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for YHWH has truly sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
Otiia kia tino mohio koutou, ki te whakamatea ahau e koutou, e kawe ana koutou i te toto harakore ki runga i a koutou ano, ki runga ki tenei pa, ki ona tangata ano hoki: no te mea he pono, na Ihowa ahau i ngare atu ki a koutou ki te korero i ene i kupu katoa ki o koutou taringa.
16 And the heads and all the people say to the priests and to the prophets, “There is not a judgment of death for this man, for he has spoken to us in the Name of our God YHWH.”
Katahi nga rangatira ratou ko te iwi katoa ka ki atu ki nga tohunga ratou ko nga poropiti, Kahore he take e mate ai tenei tangata; kua korero mai hoki ia ki a tatou i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.
17 And men from [the] elderly of the land rise up and speak to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Na ka whakatika etahi o nga kaumatua o te whenua, ka korero ki te huihui katoa o te iwi, ka mea,
18 “Micah the Morashtite has been prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he says to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Zion is a plowed field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house is for high places of a forest.
I poropiti a Mika Morahati i nga ra o Hetekia kingi o Hura, i korero ki te iwi katoa o Hura, i mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; Ka parautia a Hiona, ka rite ki te mara, a hei puranga a Hiruharama, ka rite hoki te maunga o te whare ki ng a wahi tiketike o te ngahere.
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear YHWH? Indeed, he appeases the face of YHWH, and YHWH relents concerning the calamity that He spoke against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls.”
I anga ranei a Hetekia kingi o Hura ratou ko Hura katoa, i mea rawa ki te whakamate i a ia? He teka ianei i wehi ia i a Ihowa, a inoi ana ki te mata o Ihowa, a ripeneta ana a Ihowa ki te kino i korerotia e ia mo ratou? Na ko tatou, ma konei tato u e mea ai i te kino nui ki o tatou nei wairua.
20 And there has also been a man prophesying in the Name of YHWH, Urijah son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-Jearim, and he prophesies against this city, and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah,
Na tera ano hoki tetahi tangata i poropiti i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, ko Uriia tama a Hemaia o Kiriata Tearimi; i poropiti ia i te he mo tenei pa, mo tenei whenua hoki, he penei ano me nga kupu katoa a Heremaia;
21 and King Jehoiakim, and all his mighty ones, and all the heads, hear his words, and the king seeks to put him to death, and Urijah hears, and fears, and flees, and goes to Egypt.
A, no te rongonga o Kingi Iehoiakimi ratou ko ana metararahi, ko nga rangatira katoa, i ana kupu, ka whai te kingi kia whakamatea ia; no te rongonga ia o Uriia, ka wehi, ka rere, a haere ana ki Ihipa.
22 And King Jehoiakim sends men to Egypt—Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him to Egypt—
Na ka unga e Iehoiakimi he tangata ki Ihipa, ara a Erenatana tama a Aikaporo, ratou ko ona hoa ki Ihipa.
23 and they bring out Urijah from Egypt, and bring him to King Jehoiakim, and he strikes him with a sword, and casts his corpse to the graves of the sons of the people.
Na tikina atu ana a Uriia e ratou i Ihipa, kawea mai ana ki a Kingi Iehoiakimi; patua iho e ia ki te hoari, maka ana e ia tona tinana ki nga tanumanga o nga tamariki a te iwi.
24 Only, the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan has been with Jeremiah so as not to give him up into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Otiia i a Heremaia te ringa o Ahikama tama a Hapana, i kore ai ia e tukua ki te ringa o te iwi kia whakamatea.
