< Jeremiah 33 >

1 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah a second time—and he [is] yet detained in the court of the prison—saying:
Na ko te rua o nga putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia, i a ia ano e tutaki ana ki te marae o te whare herehere; i ki ia,
2 “Thus said YHWH who has made it, YHWH who has formed it, to establish it, YHWH [is] His Name:
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa nana nei tenei i mahi, a Ihowa nana nei i whakaahua, i pumau ai; ko Ihowa tona ingoa;
3 Call to Me, and I answer you, indeed, I declare to you great and inaccessible things—you have not known them.
Karanga ki ahau, a ka whakahoki kupu ahau ki a koe, ka whakakitea hoki e ahau ki a koe nga mea nunui, nga mea pakeke, he mea kihai i mohiotia e koe.
4 For thus said YHWH, God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah that are broken down for the [siege] mounds, and for the tool;
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, mo nga whare o tenei pa, mo nga whare hoki o nga kingi o Hura, ka oti nei te wahi iho hei arai atu i nga puke, i te hoari;
5 they are coming to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the carcasses of men, whom I have struck in My anger, and in My fury, and [for] whom I have hidden My face from this city, because of all their evil:
E haere mai ana ratou ki te whawhai ki nga Karari, engari ia ki te whakaki i aua wahi ki nga tinana o nga tangata i patua e ahau i toku riri, i toku weriweri, o te hunga no ratou nga kino katoa i huna ai e ahau toku mata ki tenei pa.
6 Behold, I am increasing health and cure to it, And have healed them, and revealed to them The abundance of peace and truth.
Nana, ka kawea mai e ahau he ora, he rongoa ki tenei pa, a ka rongoatia ratou e ahau; a ka whakakitea e ahau ki a ratou te nui o te rangimarie me te pono.
7 And I have turned back the captivity of Judah, And the captivity of Israel, And I have built them as at the first,
Ka whakahokia mai ano e ahau a Hura i te whakarau, a Iharaira hoki i te whakarau, a ka hanga ratou e ahau, koia ano kei to te timatanga.
8 And cleansed them from all their iniquity That they have sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquities That they have sinned against Me, And that they transgressed against Me.
Ka purea ano e ahau to ratou kino katoa i hara ai ratou ki ahau; a ka murua e ahau o ratou kino katoa i hara ai ratou ki ahau, i poka ke ai ta ratou mahi ki ahau.
9 And it has been for a name of joy to Me, For praise, and for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am doing to it.”
A ka waiho tenei pa hei ingoa koa ki ahau, hei whakamoemiti, hei kororia, i te aroaro o nga iwi katoa o te whenua, ka rongo nei ratou ki nga pai katoa e meatia e ahau ki a ratou, a ka wehi ratou, ka wiri i te pai katoa, i te rangimarie katoa, e m eatia e ahau ki konei.
10 Thus said YHWH: “Again is heard in this place—of which you are saying, It [is] dry, without man and without beast, In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, That are desolated, without man, And without inhabitant, and without beast—
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tera ano ka rangona ki tenei wahi, e ki nei koutou mo reira, He ururua, kahore he tangata, kahore he kararehe, ara ki nga pa o Hura, ki nga ara o Hiruharama e mokemoke nei, te ai he tangata, te ai he kainoho, te ai he k ararehe,
11 A voice of joy and a voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, The voice of those saying, Thank YHWH of Hosts, for YHWH [is] good, For His kindness [is] for all time, Who are bringing in thanksgiving to the house of YHWH, For I return the captivity of the land, As at the first,” said YHWH.
Te reo o te koa, te reo o te hari, te reo o te tane marena hou me te reo o te wahine marena hou, te reo hoki o te hunga e ki ana, Whakawhetai ki a Ihowa o nga mano, he pai hoki a Ihowa, he mau tonu ano tana mahi tohu: o te hunga hoki e kawe mai ana i nga whakahere whakawhetai ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa. No te mea ka whakahokia mai ano e ahau te whenua i te whakarau, ka rite ano ki to te timatanga, e ai ta Ihowa.
12 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Again there is in this place—that is dry, Without man and beast, And in all its cities—a habitation of shepherds, Causing the flock to lie down.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Tera ano te wahi e ururua nei, kahore nei he tangata, kahore he kararehe, me ona pa katoa, ka nohoia ano e nga hepara, e mea ana i a ratou hipi kia takoto.
13 In the cities of the hill-country, In the cities of the low country, And in the cities of the south, And in the land of Benjamin, And in the outskirts of Jerusalem, And in the cities of Judah, Again the flock passes by under the hands of the numberer,” said YHWH.
I nga pa o te whenua pukepuke, i nga pa o te mania, i nga pa o te tonga, i te whenua o Pineamine, i nga taha o Hiruharama, i nga pa hoki o Hura, ka haere atu nga hipi i raro i nga ringa o te kaitatau, e ai ta Ihowa.
14 “Behold, days are coming,” a declaration of YHWH, “And I have established the good word That I spoke to the house of Israel, And concerning the house of Judah.
Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e whakamana ai e ahau te kupu pai i korerotia ra e ahau mo te whare o Iharaira, mo te whare hoki o Hura.
15 In those days, and at that time, I cause a Shoot of righteousness to shoot up to David, And He has done judgment and righteousness in the earth.
I aua ra, a i taua wa, ka meinga e ahau tetahi Manga o te tika kia tupu ake mo Rawiri; a ka mahia e ia te whakawa me te tika ki te whenua.
16 In those days Judah is saved, And Jerusalem dwells confidently, And this [is] what she is called: YHWH [is] Our Righteousness.”
I aua ra ka whakaorangia a Hura, ka moho humarie hoki a Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa tenei e huaina mona, Ko Ihowa to tatou tika.
17 For thus said YHWH: “A man sitting on the throne of the house of Israel [is] never cut off from David,
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, E kore e whakakorea he tangata mo Rawiri hei noho ki te torona o te whare o Iharaira;
18 And to the priests—the Levites, A man is not cut off from before My face, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice—all the days.”
E kore ano e whakakorea atu he tangata mo nga tohunga, mo nga Riwaiti i toku aroaro, hei whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana, hei tahu i nga whakahere, hei mahi i te patunga tapu i nga ra katoa.
19 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia; i ki ia,
20 “Thus said YHWH: If you can break My covenant with the day, And My covenant with the night, So that they are not daily and nightly in their season,
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ki te taea e koutou te whakataka taku kawenata o te awatea, me taku kawenata o te po, kia kore ai he ao, he po, i o raua wa e tika ai;
21 My covenant is also broken with My servant David, So that he does not have a son reigning on his throne, And with the Levites the priests, My ministers.
Katahi ka taka taku kawenata ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, e kore ai he tama mana, hei kingi ki tona torona; me taku hoki ki aku minita, ki nga Riwaiti, ki nga tohunga.
22 As the host of the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of My servant David, And My ministers the Levites.”
E kore nei te ope o te rangi e taea te tatau, e kore ano te onepu o te moana e taea te mehua, ka pena ano taku whakanui i nga uri o taku pononga, o Rawiri, i nga Riwaiti hoki e minita nei ki ahau.
23 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
A ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia; i mea ia,
24 “Have you not considered what this people have spoken, saying, The two families on which YHWH fixed, He rejects them? And they despise My people, so that they are no longer a people before them!”
Kahore ranei koe e mahara ki ta tenei iwi i korero ai, i mea ai, Ko nga hapu e rua i whiriwhiria ra e Ihowa, kua paopaongia e ia? Ko ta ratou whakahawea tena ki taku iwi, kia kaua ratou e kiia ano he iwi i to ratou aroaro.
25 Thus said YHWH: “If My covenant [is] not with day and night, [And if] I have not appointed the statutes of the heavens and earth—
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ki te kahore e tu taku kawenata o te ao, o te po, a ehara nga tikanga o te rangi, o te whenua, i te mea whakatakoto naku;
26 I also reject the seed of Jacob, and My servant David, From taking rulers from his seed For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I return their captivity, and have pitied them.”
Katahi ka paopaongia e ahau nga uri o Hakopa raua ko taku pononga, ko Rawiri, e kore ai e tangohia tetahi o ona uri hei kaiwhakahaere tikanga mo nga uri o Aperahama, o Ihaka, o Hakopa: no te mea ka whakahokia mai ratou e ahau i te whakarau, ka t ohungia hoki ratou e ahau.
