Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
I te timatanga o te kingitanga o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura ka puta mai tenei kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia, i mea ia,
2 “Thus said YHWH to me: Make bands and yokes for yourself,
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki ahau, Hanga he here, he ioka mou, ka whakanoho ai ki tou kaki;
3 and you have put them on your neck, and have sent them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah king of Judah;
Na tukua ki te kingi o Eroma, ki te kingi o Moapa, ki te kingi o nga tama a Amona, ki te kingi o Taira, ki te kingi hoki o Hairona: ma te ringa o nga karere e haere mai ana ki Hiruharama, ki a Terekia kingi o Hura, e mau.
4 and you have commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel:
Me whakahau ano ratou e koe kia ki atu ki o ratou ariki, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki o koutou ariki:
5 Thus you say to your lords, I have made the earth with man, and the livestock that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My outstretched arm, and I have given it to whom it has been right in My eyes.
Naku i hanga te whenua, te tangata me te kararehe i runga i te mata o te whenua, na toku kaha nui, na toku ringa maro tonu; na e hoatu ana e ahau ki taku e pai ai.
6 And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have also given the beast of the field to him to serve him;
Na inaianei kua oti te hoatu e ahau enei whenua katoa ki te ringa o Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, ki taku pononga; a kua hoatu ano e ahau nga kirehe o te parae ki a ia kia whakamahia e ia.
7 and all the nations have served him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and many nations and great kings have made him serve them.
A ka mahi nga iwi katoa ki a ia, ki tana tama, ki te tama ano hoki a tana tama, kia taka ra ano te wa o tona ake whenua; a hei reira ia whakamahia ai e nga iwi maha, e nga kingi nunui hoki.
8 And it has come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that does not serve him—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—and that which does not put its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation—a declaration of YHWH—until I consume them by his hand.
Na ko te iwi, a ko te kingitanga, e kore e mahi ki taua Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, e kore hoki e tuku i o ratou kaki ki raro ki te ioka a te kingi o Papurona, ka whiua e ahau taua iwi, e ai ta Ihowa, ki te hoari, ki te hemokai, ki te mate uruta, kia moti ra ano ratou i ahau ki tona ringa.
9 And you, you do not listen to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your observers of clouds, and to your sorcerers who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—
Tena ko koutou, kaua koutou e rongo ki o koutou poropiti, ki o koutou tohunga tuaahu, ki o koutou moemoea, ki o koutou tohunga kapua, ki o koutou tohunga makutu, e korero na ki a koutou, e mea na, E kore koutou e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona:
10 For they are prophesying falsehood to you, so as to remove you far from your ground, and I have driven you out, and you have perished.
No te mea e poropiti ana ratou i te teka ki a koutou, he mea kia matara atu ai koutou i to koutou oneone; kia peia ai hoki koutou e ahau, kia ngaro ai.
11 And the nation that causes its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and has served him—I have left it on its ground—a declaration of YHWH—and it has tilled it, and dwelt in it.”
Engari ko te iwi e tuku ana i o ratou kaki ki raro ki te ioka a te kingi o Papurona, a ka mahi ki a ia, ka waiho ratou e ahau ki to ratou oneone, e ai ta Ihowa; a ka ngakia e ratou, ka noho hoki ratou ki reira.
12 And I have spoken to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Cause your necks to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Na rite tonu ki enei kupu katoa taku i korero ai ki a Terekia kingi o Hura, i mea ahau, Tukua atu o koutou kaki ki raro ki te ioka a te kingi o Papurona; e mahi ki a ia, ki a ratou ko tona iwi, a ka ora koutou.
13 Why do you die, you and your people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as YHWH has spoken concerning the nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
Kia mate koutou hei aha, koutou ko tou iwi i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta, i ta Ihowa i ki a mo te iwi e kore nei e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona?
14 And you do not listen to the words of the prophets who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
Kaua hoki e rongo ki nga kupu a nga poropiti e korero na ki a koutou, e mea na, E kore koutou e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona: e poropiti teka ana hoki ratou ki a koutou.
15 For I have not sent them—a declaration of YHWH—and they are prophesying falsely in My Name, so as to drive you out, and you have perished, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”
Ehara hoki ratou i ahau i unga atu, e ai ta Ihowa, otiia kei te poropiti teka ratou i runga i toku ingoa; he mea kia peia ai koutou e ahau, a kia ngaro ai koutou, me nga poropiti e poropiti na ki a koutou.
16 And to the priests, and to all this people, I have spoken, saying, “Thus said YHWH: You do not listen to the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of YHWH are now brought back from Babylon in haste, for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
I korero ano ahau ki nga tohunga, ki tenei iwi katoa, i mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; Kei rongo koutou ki nga kupu a o koutou poropiti e poropiti na ki a koutou, e mea na, Nana, ka tata te whakahokia mai nga oko o te whare o Ihowa i Papurona: h e poropiti teka hoki ta ratou ki a koutou.
17 You do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live! Why is this city a ruin?
Kei whakarongo ki a ratou; e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona, kia ora ai koutou: kia ururuatia tenei pa hei ahau?
18 And if they are prophets, and if a word of YHWH is with them, let them now intercede with YHWH of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of YHWH, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon.
Otira, ki te mea he poropiti ratou, ki te mea kei a ratou te kupu a Ihowa, me inoi ratou inaianei ki a Ihowa o nga mano, kia kaua nga oko e toe nei ki te whare o Ihowa, ki te whare o te kingi o Hura, ki Hiruharama, e tae ki Papurona.
19 For thus said YHWH of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
Ina hoki te kupu a Ihowa o nga mano mo nga pou, mo te moana, mo nga turanga, a mo nga toenga o nga oko kua mahue nei ki tenei pa,
20 that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem,
Kihai nei i riro i a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona i tana whakaraunga atu i a Hekonia tama a Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura i roto i Hiruharama ki Papurona, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa o Hura, o Hiruharama;
21 surely thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of YHWH, and of the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem:
Ae ra, ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, mo nga oko e toe nei ki te whare o Ihowa, ki te whare hoki o te kingi o Hura, ki Hiruharama;
22 They are brought to Babylon, and there they are until the day of My inspecting them—a declaration of YHWH; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back to this place.”
Ka kawea aua mea ki Papurona, ka takoto hoki ki reira, taea noatia te ra e pa ai ahau ki a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa; hei reira ka maua mai e ahau, ka whakahokia mai ki tenei wahi.
