< Jeremiah 32 >

1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah—it [is] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar—
Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia, he mea na Ihowa, i te tekau o nga tau o Terekia kingi o Hura, ara i te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Nepukareha.
2 And then the forces of the king of Babylon are laying siege against Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet has been shut up in the court of the prison that [is] in the house of the king of Judah,
Na i taua wa e whakapaea ana a Hiruharama e te taua a te kingi o Papurona; a ko Heremaia poropiti kua oti te tutaki ki roto ki te marae o te whare herehere i te whare o te kingi o Hura.
3 where Zedekiah king of Judah has shut him up, saying, “Why are you prophesying, saying, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he has captured it;
Na Terekia hoki, na te kingi o Hura ia i tutaki; i mea tera, He aha koe i poropiti ai, i ki ai, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau tenei pa ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, a ka horo i a ia;
4 and Zedekiah king of Judah does not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but is certainly given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and his mouth has spoken with his mouth, and his eyes see his eyes,
A ko Terekia kingi o Hura, e kore e mawhiti i te ringa o nga Karari; engari ka tukua putia ia ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, a ka korero ia ki a ia he mangai ki te mangai, a e kite hoki ona kanohi i ona kanohi;
5 and he leads Zedekiah [to] Babylon, and there he is until My inspecting him—a declaration of YHWH—because you fight with the Chaldeans, you do not prosper.”
A ka arahina e ia a Terekia ki Papurona, a ki reira ia noho ai, kia tae atu ra ano ahau ki te tirotiro i a ia, e ai ta Ihowa; ahakoa whawhai koutou ki nga Karari, e kore e taea e koutou?
6 And Jeremiah says, “A word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
Na ka mea a Heremaia, I puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea ia,
7 Behold, Hanameel son of Shallum, your uncle, is coming to you, saying, Buy my field that [is] in Anathoth for yourself, for the right of redemption [is] yours to buy.”
Nana, tera e tae mai ki a koe a Hanameere tama a Harumu, a tou matua keke, a ka mea, Mau e hoko taku mara i Anatoto; kei a koe na hoki te tikanga o te utu whakahoki.
8 And Hanameel, my uncle’s son, comes to me, according to the word of YHWH, to the court of the prison, and says to me, “Please buy my field that [is] in Anathoth, that [is] in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession [is] yours, and redemption yours—buy [it] for yourself.” And I know that it [is] the word of YHWH,
Na ka haere mai ki ahau a Hanameere tama a toku matua keke, ka pera me ta Ihowa i ki ai, ki te marae o te whare herehere, a ka mea ki ahau, Tena koa, hokona taku mara i Anatoto, i te whenua o Pineamine; kei a koe hoki te tikanga o taua wahi, mau ano te utu e hoki ai; hokona mau. Katahi ahau ka mohio, he kupu tenei na Ihowa.
9 and I buy the field that [is] in Anathoth from Hanameel, my uncle’s son, and I weigh the money to him—seventeen shekels of silver.
Na ka hokona e ahau te mara a Hanameere tama a toku matua, keke, tera i Anatoto, a paunatia atu ana e ahau te moni mana, ara tekau ma whitu nga hekere hiriwa.
10 And I write in a scroll, and seal, and cause witnesses to testify, and weigh the silver in balances;
Na ka tuhituhi ahau ki te pukapuka, hiri rawa, karangatia ana nga kaititiro, a paunatia atu ana e ahau te moni mana ki te pauna.
11 and I take the purchase scroll, the sealed one, according to law and custom, and the open one;
Na ka mau ahau ki te pukapuka o te hoko, ki te mea hiri i rite nei ki ta te ture, ki ta nga tikanga, a ki te mea hirikore:
12 and I give the purchase scroll to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, before the eyes of Hanameel, my uncle’s son, and before the eyes of the witnesses, those writing in the purchase scroll, before the eyes of all the Jews who are sitting in the court of the prison.
A hoatu ana e ahau te pukapuka o te hoko ki a Paruku tama a Neria, tama a Maaheia i te tirohanga ano a Hanameere tama a toku matua keke, i te tirohanga hoki a nga kaititiro i tuhituhia ai te pukapuka o te hoko, i te tirohanga ano hoki a nga Hura i katoa e noho ana i te marae o te whare herehere.
13 And I charge Baruch before their eyes, saying,
Na ka whakahau ahau ki a Paruku i o ratou aroaro, i mea atu ahau,
14 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Take these scrolls, this purchase scroll, both the sealed one and the open one, and you have put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain many days.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Maua atu enei pukapuka, tenei pukapuka o te hoko, te mea hiri me tenei pukapuka hirikore, whaowhina ki te oko oneone; kia maha ai nga ra e mau ai.
15 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards are bought in this land again.”
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Tera nga whare, nga mara, me nga mara waina ka hokohokona ano a muri nei ki tenei whenua.
16 And I pray to YHWH after my giving the purchase scroll to Baruch son of Neriah, saying,
Na, i muri i taku hoatutanga i te pukapuka o te hoko ki a Paruku tama a Neria, ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa, ka mea,
17 “Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power, and by Your outstretched arm; there is nothing too wonderful for You:
Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, nana, kua hanga e koe te rangi me te whenua, na tou kaha nui, na tou ringa maro; kahore he mea e pakeke ki a koe:
18 doing kindness to thousands, and repaying iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their sons after them; God, the great, the mighty, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name;
He mahi aroha nei tau ki nga mano, e utua ana e koe te kino o nga matua ki roto ki te uma o a ratou tamariki i muri i a ratou: ko tona ingoa ko te Atua nui, ko te Atua marohirohi, ko Ihowa o nga mano:
19 great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Your eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
He nui ki te whakaaro, he kaha ki te mahi: e tuwhera ana hoki ona kanohi ki nga ara katoa o nga tama a te tangata; he mea kia rite ai ki tona ara ake, ki nga hua o ana mahi, nga mea e hoatu ai ki tenei, ki tenei:
20 in that you have done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt to this day, and in Israel, and among men, and You make for Yourself a name as [at] this day.
Nau nei i homai nga tohu me nga mea whakamiharo ki te whenua o Ihipa, a taea noatia tenei ra, i roto i a Iharaira, i era atu hoki; a meinga ana e koe he ingoa mou, penei i tenei inaianei;
21 And You bring forth Your people Israel from the land of Egypt, with signs and with wonders, and by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great fear,
Nau nei hoki i kawe mai tau iwi, a Iharaira, i te whenua o Ihipa i runga i nga tohu, i nga mea whakamiharo, i te ringa kaha, i te takakau maro hoki, i te wehi nui;
22 and you give to them this land that you swore to their fathers to give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey,
A homai ana e koe ki a ratou tenei whenua i oati ai koe ki o ratou matua ka homai ki a ratou, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi;
23 and they come in, and possess it, and they have not listened to Your voice, and have not walked in Your law, all that which You laid a charge on them to do they have not done, and You proclaim all this calamity [to] them.
Na haere mai ana ratou, a riro ana a konei i a ratou; heoi kihai ratou i rongo ki tou reo, kihai hoki i haere i runga i tau ture; kihai rawa i mahia e ratou tetahi o nga mea i whakahaua e koe ki a ratou kia mahia: koia i meinga ai e koe tenei ki no katoa kia pa ki a ratou.
24 Behold, the [siege] mounds have come to the city to capture it, and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence; and that which You have spoken has come to pass, and behold, You are seeing.
Nana, nga puke, kua tae mai ratou ki te pa, kia horo ai; a ka hoatu te pa ki te ringa o nga Karari e whawhai nei ki konei, na te hoari hoki, na te hemokai, na te mate uruta: a, ko tau i korero ra, kua rite; nana, e kite nei koe.
25 Yet You have said to me, O Lord YHWH, Buy the field for yourself with money, and cause witnesses to testify—and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!”
Heoi kua mea mai na koe, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ki ahau, Hokona te mara mau ki te moni, whakaturia ano nga kaititiro; kahore ia, kua tukua te pa ki te ringa o nga Karari.
26 And the word of YHWH is to Jeremiah, saying,
Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia; i mea ia,
27 “Behold, I [am] YHWH, God of all flesh: is anything too wonderful for Me?”
Nana, ko Ihowa ahau, ko te Atua o nga kikokiko katoa: tera ranei tetahi mea e pakeke rawa ki ahau?
28 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has captured it.
Heoi ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau tenei pa ki te ringa o nga Karari, ki te ringa o Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka horo i a ia:
29 And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city have come in, and they have set this city on fire, and have burned it—and the houses on whose roofs they made incense to Ba‘al, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger.
A ka haere mai nga Karari e whawhai nei ki tenei pa, ka tahu i tenei pa ki te ahi, ka wera hoki i a ratou, me nga whare i tahu whakakakara ai ratou i runga i nga tuanui ki a Paara, i ringihia ai hoki nga ringihanga ki nga atua ke, hei whakapatar itari i ahau.
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only evil in My eyes from their youth; for the sons of Israel are surely provoking Me with the work of their hands,” a declaration of YHWH.
No te mea ko nga tamariki a Iharaira ratou ko nga tamariki a Hura, he kino kau ta ratou i mahi ai i taku tirohanga, no to ratou tamarikitanga ake ano: he whakapataritari kau hoki ta nga tamariki a Iharaira i ahau ki te mahi a o ratou ringa, e ai ta Ihowa.
31 “For this city has been a cause of My anger and a cause of My fury, even from the day that they built it, and to this day—to turn it aside from before My face,
Ko te ahau hoki o tenei pa ki ahau he mea whakaoho o toku riri, i toku weriweri, no te ra i hanga ai e ratou a tae noa mai ki tenei ra; kia nekehia atu ra ano e ahau i toku aroaro;
32 because of all the evil of the sons of Israel, and of the sons of Judah that they have done, so as to provoke Me—they, their kings, their heads, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Mo te kino katoa a nga tamariki a Iharaira ratou ko nga tamariki a Hura, i mahia nei e ratou hei whakapataritari i ahau, e ratou, e o ratou kingi, e o ratou rangatira, e o ratou tohunga, e o ratou poropiti, e nga tangata o Hura, e nga tangata ho ki o Hiruharama.
33 And they turn the neck to Me, and not the face, and teaching them, rising early and teaching, and they are not listening to accept instruction.
A kua parea mai e ratou te kohamo, kahore te kanohi ki ahau: a, ahakoa naku ratou i whakaako, moata ai i te ata me te ako i a ratou, kihai ratou i rongo, i manako ki te ako.
34 And they set their abominations in the house over which My Name is called, so as to defile it.
Heoi whakaturia ana e ratou a ratou mea whakarihariha ki te whare i huaina nei toku ingoa mo reira, whakapokea iho.
35 And they build the high places of Ba‘al that [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through to Molech, which I did not command them, nor did it come up on My heart to do this abomination, so as to cause Judah to sin.
A hanga ana e ratou nga wahi tiketike o Paara, era i te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, kia meinga ai a ratou tama, me a ratou tamahine, kia tika i roto i te ahi ki a Moreke; he mea kihai i whakahaua e ahau, kihai hoki i puta ake i toku ngakau, kia m ahia e ratou tenei mea whakarihariha, e hara ai a Hura.
36 And now, therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Israel, concerning this city, of which you are saying, It has been given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei inaianei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira mo tenei pa, e ki na koutou, Ka tukua ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, ma te hoari, ma te hemokai, ma te mate uruta;
37 Behold, I am gathering them out of all the lands to where I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath, and I have brought them back to this place, and have caused them to dwell confidently;
Nana, ka kohikohia mai ratou e ahau i nga whenua katoa i peia atu nei ratou e ahau ki reira, i toku riri, i toku weriweri, i te aritarita nui; ka whakahokia mai ano ratou e ahau ki tenei wahi, a ka meinga kia noho humarie;
38 and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God;
A ko ratou hei iwi maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo ratou.
39 and I have given to them one heart and one way, to fear Me all the days, for the good of them and their sons after them:
A ka hoatu e ahau he ngakau kotahi ki a ratou, he ara kotahi, kia wehi ai ratou i ahau a ake ake; hei pai mo ratou, mo a ratou tamariki hoki i muri i a ratou.
40 and I have made a perpetual covenant for them, in that I do not turn back from after them for My doing them good, and I put My fear in their heart, so as not to turn aside from me;
Ka whakaritea ano e ahau he kawenata mau tonu ki a ratou, he mea e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau i a ratou, kia mahia he pai ki a ratou; a ka hoatu e ahau toku wehi ki o ratou ngakau, kei whakarere ratou i ahau.
41 and I have rejoiced over them to do them good, and have planted them in this land in truth, with all my heart, and with all My soul.”
Ae ra, ka koa ahau ki a ratou hei mea i te pai ki a ratou, a he pono ka whakapaua toku ngakau, ka whakapaua hoki toku wairua ki te whakato i a ratou ki tenei whenua i runga i te pono.
42 For thus said YHWH: “As I brought to this people all this great calamity, so I am bringing on them all the good that I am speaking concerning them;
No te mea ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka pera i taku kawenga i tenei kino nui katoa ki runga ki tenei iwi, waihoki ka kawea e ahau ki runga ki a ratou te pai katoa i korerotia e ahau mo ratou.
43 and the field has been bought in this land of which you are saying, It [is] a desolation, without man and beast, it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Ka hokohokona ano he mara ki tenei whenua, e ki na koutou mo reira, He ururua, te ai he tangata, he kararehe ranei; kua hoatu ki te ringa o nga Karari.
44 They buy fields with money, so as to write in a scroll, and to seal, and to cause witnesses to testify, in the land of Benjamin, and in outskirts of Jerusalem, and in cities of Judah, and in cities of the hill-country, and in cities of the low country, and in cities of the south, for I return their captivity,” a declaration of YHWH.
Ka hokona e te tangata he mara ki te moni, ka tuhituhia ano he pukapuka, ka hiritia, ka whakaturia nga kaititiro, i te whenua o Pineamine, i nga taha o Hiruharama, i nga pa hoki o Hura, i nga pa o te whenua pukepuke, i nga pa o nga raorao, i nga pa hoki o te tonga: no te mea ka whakahokia mai ratou e ahau i te whakarau, e ai ta Ihowa.
