Jeremiah 3
1 “Saying, Behold, one sends his wife away, And she has gone from him, And she has been to another man, Does he return to her again? Is that land not greatly defiled? And you have committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn to Me again,” A declaration of YHWH.
E korerotia ana, kite whakarerea e te tangata tana wahine, a ka haere atu ia i tona taha, ka riro i te tane ke, e hoki ano ranei ia ki a ia? E kore ianei taua whenua e poke rawa? Ko koe ia kua kairau ki nga hoa tokomaha: na, hoki mai ki ahau, e a i ta Ihowa.
2 “Lift your eyes to the high places, and see, Where have you not been lain with? You have sat for them on the ways, As an Arab in a wilderness, And you defile the land, By your fornications, and by your wickedness.
Kia ara ou kanohi ki nga pukepuke moremore, tirohia; ko tehea te wahi i kore ai koe e puremutia? Nohoia atu ana ratou e koe i nga ara, pera ana me te Arapi i te koraha; a poke iho i a koe te whenua i ou kairautanga, i tau mahi kino.
3 And showers are withheld, and there has been no spring rain. You have the forehead of a whorish woman, You have refused to be ashamed.
Na reira i kaiponuhia ai nga ua, kahore hoki he ua o muri; engari he rae tou no te wahine kairau, e whakakahore ana ki te whakama.
4 Have you not from now on called to Me, My Father, You [are] the leader of my youth?
E kore ianei koe e karanga ki ahau i nga wa a muri nei, E toku papa, ko koe te kaiarahi o toku taitamarikitanga?
5 Does He keep for all time? Watch forever? Behold, you have spoken these things, And you do evil, and prevail.”
E mau ranei tona riri a ake ake? E whakapumautia tonutia ranei e ia? Nana, kua korerotia e koe, kua mahia nga mea kino, kua rite ki tau.
6 And YHWH says to me, in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She is going on every high mountain, and to the place of every green tree, and commits fornication there.
I ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau i nga ra o Kingi Hohia, Kua kite ranei koe i nga mahi a Iharaira tahuri ke? kua haere ia ki runga ki nga maunga tiketike katoa, ki raro i nga rakau kouru nui katoa, ki reira kairau ai.
7 And I say, after her doing all these, Return to Me, and she has not returned, and her treacherous sister Judah sees it.
I mea ano ahau i muri i tana meatanga i enei mea katoa, Ka hoki mai ia ki ahau; heoi kihai ia i hoki mai, me te titiro ano tona tuakana tinihanga, a Hura.
8 And I see that for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery, I have sent her away, and I give the bill of her divorce to her; and her treacherous sister Judah has not feared, and goes and commits fornication—she also.
A i kite ahau, i taku peinga atu i a Iharaira tahuri ke mo taua take nei ano, mo tona puremutanga, a i taku hoatutanga he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia, na kihai tona tuakana, a Hura tinihanga i wehi; heoi haere ana ano ia, kairau ana.
9 And it has come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she commits fornication with stone and with wood.
Na, ko te otinga, kua poke te whenua i te rongo o tona puremutanga, puremu ana ia ki te kohatu, ki te rakau.
10 And even in all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned back to Me with all her heart, but with falsehood,” a declaration of YHWH.
Na ahakoa ko tenei katoa, kihai i whakapaua te ngakau o tona tuakana tinihanga, o Hura, ki te hoki ki ahau; he hoki teka kau ia, e ai ta Ihowa.
11 And YHWH says to me: “Backsliding Israel has justified herself, More than treacherous Judah.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, A Iharaira tahuri ke, nui atu tana whakatika i a ia i ta Hura, i ta te mea tinihanga.
12 Go, and you have proclaimed these words toward the north, and have said, Return, O backsliding Israel,” A declaration of YHWH! “I do not cause My anger to fall on you, for I [am] kind,” A declaration of YHWH, “I do not watch for all time.
Haere, karangatia enei kupu whaka te raki, mea atu, Hoki mai, e Iharaira tahuri ke, e ai ta Ihowa; e kore ahau e mea i toku riri kia tau ki a koutou; he atawhai hoki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, e kore ahau e mauahara tonu.
13 Only, know your iniquity, For you have transgressed against your God YHWH, And you scatter your ways to strangers, Under every green tree, And you have not listened to My voice,” A declaration of YHWH.
Whakina kautia tou he, ara kua kino koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kua whakamararatia atu e koe ou ara ki nga tangata ke i raro i nga rakau kouru nui katoa, kihai ano i rongo ki toku reo, e ai ta Ihowa.
14 “Return, O backsliding sons,” A declaration of YHWH. “For I have ruled over you, And taken you—one from a city, and two from a family, And have brought you to Zion,
Hoki mai, e nga tamariki tahuri ke, e ai ta Ihowa; kua marenatia hoki koutou e ahau: a ka tangohia koutou e ahau, tetahi i roto i te pa, tokorua hoki i roto i te hapu, ka kawea ano koutou e ahau ki Hiona.
15 And I have given shepherds to you According to My own heart, And they have fed you with knowledge and understanding.
A ka hoatu e ahau he hepara mo koutou, ko aku i pai ai, ka whangaia ano koutou e ratou ki te matauranga, ki te whakaaro pai.
16 And it has come to pass, when you are multiplied, And have been fruitful in the land, In those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “They no longer say, The Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, Nor does it go up on the heart, Nor do they remember concerning it, Nor do they inspect, nor is it made again.
A tenei ake, ina nui, ina hua koutou ki te whenua i aua ra e ai ta Ihowa, heoi ano a ratou kianga ake, Ko te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa; e kore ano e puta ake ki te ngakau; e kore hoki e maharatia taua mea e ratou, e kore ano ratou e haereere ki reira, kahore hoki he mahinga pera i muri iho.
17 At that time they cry to Jerusalem, O throne of YHWH, And all the nations have been gathered to her, For the Name of YHWH, to Jerusalem, Nor do they go after the stubbornness of their evil heart anymore.
I taua wa ka kiia e ratou a Hiruharama, ko te torona o Ihowa; a ka huihuia nga iwi katoa ki reira, ki te ingoa o Ihowa, ki Hiruharama; a heoi ano to ratou haere i runga i te maro o o ratou ngakau kino.
18 In those days the house of Judah Goes to the house of Israel, And they come together from the land of the south, To the land that I caused your fathers to inherit.
I aua ra ka haere tahi te whare o Hura raua ko te whare o Iharaira, ka huihuia ano to ratou haere mai i te whenua i te raki, ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau hei kainga tupu ki o koutou matua.
19 And I have said, How do I put you among the sons, And give a desirable land to you, A beautiful inheritance of the hosts of nations, And I say, You call Me—My Father, And you do not turn back from after Me.
I mea ano ahau, Me pehea e oti ai koe te whakauru e ahau ki nga tamariki, e hoatu ai e ahau ki a koe he whenua e minaminatia ana, he kainga tupu, he wahi ataahua no nga mano o nga iwi? i mea ano ahau, ka karangatia ahau e koe, E toku papa, e kor e ano koe e tahuri atu i te whai i ahau.
20 But a woman has deceived her friend, So you have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH.
Rite rawa ki ta te wahine i whakarere tinihanga i tana tahu ta koutou mahi tinihanga ki ahau, e te whare o Iharaira, e ai ta Ihowa?
21 A voice is heard on high places—weeping, Supplications of the sons of Israel, For they have made their way perverse, They have forgotten their God YHWH.
E rangona ana he reo i runga i nga puke moremore, ko te tangi, ko nga inoi hoki a nga tama a Iharaira; mo ratou i whakaparori ke i to ratou ara, wareware ake i a ratou a Ihowa, to ratou Atua.
22 “Return, O backsliding sons, I cause your backslidings to cease.” “Behold us, we have come to You, For You [are] our God YHWH.
Hoki mai, e nga tamariki tahuri ke, maku e rongoa o koutou tahuritanga ketanga. Tenei matou te haere atu nei ki a koe; ko koe hoki a Ihowa, to matou Atua.
23 Surely in vain—from the heights, The multitude of mountains—Surely the salvation of Israel [is] in our God YHWH.
He pono, he hori kau te awhina e taria ana mai i nga pukepuke, te nge i runga i nga maunga: tika rawa kei a Ihowa, kei to tatou Atua te whakaora mo Iharaira.
24 And the shameful thing has devoured The labor of our fathers from our youth, Their flock and their herd, Their sons and their daughters.
Kua pau hoki i te mea whakama te mauiui o o tatou matua, no to tatou tamarikitanga ake ano; a ratou hipi, a ratou kau, a ratou tama, me a ratou tamahine.
25 We have lain down in our shame, and our confusion covers us, For we have sinned against our God YHWH, We, and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, Nor have we listened to the voice of our God YHWH!”
Takoto tatou i roto i to tatou whakama, ma to tatou matangerengere tatou e hipoki: kua hara hoki tatou ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, tatou ko o tatou matua, no to tatou tamarikitanga ake ano a mohoa noa nei; kihai hoki tatou i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.
