Jeremiah 44

1 The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who are dwelling in the land of Egypt—who are dwelling in Migdol, and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros—saying,

Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia mo nga Hurai katoa e noho ana i te whenua o Ihipa, e noho ana i Mikitoro, i Tahapanehe, i Nopo, i te whenua hoki o Patoro; i mea ia,

2 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: You have seen all the calamity that I have brought in on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah, and behold, they [are] a desolation to this day, and there is none dwelling in them,

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Kua kite koutou i te kino katoa i takina mai nei e ahau ki runga ki Hiruharama, ki nga pa katoa hoki o Hura; na, i tenei ra he ururua ratou, kahore hoki he tangata e noho ana i reira;

3 because of their wickedness that they have done, by provoking Me to anger, by going to make incense, by serving other gods, that they did not know, they, you, and your fathers.

Mo ta ratou kino i mahia e ratou hei whakapataritari i ahau, i to ratou haerenga ki te tahu whakakakara, a ki te mahi ki nga atua ke, kihai nei ratou i mohio, ratou, koutou ranei, o koutou matua ranei.

4 And I send to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Please do not do this abomination that I have hated—

He ahakoa ra, i unga atu e ahau aku pononga katoa, nga poropiti, ki a koutou, maranga wawe ana ahau ki te unga i a ratou; i mea ahau, Kaua ra e mahia tenei mea whakarihariha e kino nei ahau.

5 and they have not listened nor inclined their ear to turn back from their wickedness, not to make incense to other gods,

Otiia kihai ratou i rongo, kihai hoki i tahuri mai o ratou taringa, kihai i hoki mai i to ratou kino, ara i te tahu whakakakara ki nga atua ke.

6 and My fury is poured out, and My anger, and it burns in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and they are for a ruin, for a desolation, as [at] this day.

Koia i ringihia atu ai toku weriweri, toku riri, ngiha tonu ki nga pa o Hura, ki nga ara hoki o Hiruharama; na he ururua ratou, he tuhea, koia ano tenei inaianei.

7 And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Why are you doing great evil to your own souls, to cut off man and woman, infant and suckling, from you, from the midst of Judah, so as not to leave a remnant to you:

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei inaianei a Ihowa, a te Atua o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; He aha koutou i mahi ai i tenei kino nui mo o koutou wairua, ka hatepe atu i a koutou, i nga tane, i nga wahine, i te kohungahunga, i te mea ngote u, i roto i a Hura, a kore iho he toenga o koutou e mahue?

8 by provoking Me to anger by the works of your hands, by making incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, to where you are going to sojourn, so as to cut yourselves off, and so as to your being for a reviling and for a reproach among all nations of the earth?

I a koutou i whakapataritari na i ahau ki nga mahi a o koutou ringa, i a koutou ka tahu whakakakara nei ki nga atua ke i te whenua o Ihipa, kua haere atu na koutou ki reira noho ai, e hatepea atu ai koutou, e waiho ai koutou hei kanga, hei ingoa kino i roto i nga iwi katoa o te whenua.

9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, that they have done in the land of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?

Kua wareware ranei koutou ki te kino o o koutou matua, ki te kino o nga kingi o Hura, ki te kino hoki o a ratou wahine, ki o koutou na kino, ki te kino hoki o a koutou wahine i mahia nei e ratou ki te whenua o Hura, ki nga ara hoki o Hiruharama?

10 They have not been humbled to this day, nor have they been afraid, nor have they walked in My law, and in My statutes, that I have set before you and before your fathers.

Taea noatia tenei ra kahore ano ratou i whakaiti i a ratou, kahore ano i wehi, kahore i haere i runga i taku ture, i runga i aku tikanga i hoatu e ahau ki to koutou aroaro, ki te aroaro hoki o o koutou matua.

11 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am setting My face against you for calamity, even to cut off all Judah,

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Nana, ka anga ke atu toku mata i a koutou mo te kino, he hatepe i a Hura katoa.

12 and I have taken the remnant of Judah, who have set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they have all been consumed in the land of Egypt; they fall by sword [and] are consumed by famine, from the least even to the greatest, they die by sword and by famine, and they have been for an execration, for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach.

Na ka mau ahau ki nga morehu o Hura, kua maro nei o ratou mata ki te haere ki te whenua o Ihipa, ki reira noho ai, a ka poto ratou katoa; ka hinga ratou ki te whenua o Ihipa; ka pau ratou i te hoari, i te hemokai; ka mate ratou, mai i te iti ki te rahi, i te hoari, i te hemokai: a ka waiho ratou hei kanga, hei miharotanga, hei kohukohutanga, hei ingoa kino.

13 And I have seen after those dwelling in the land of Egypt, as I saw after Jerusalem, with sword, with famine, and with pestilence,

No te mea ka whiua e ahau te hunga e noho ana i te whenua o Ihipa, ka rite ki taku whiunga i Hiruharama ki te hoari, ki te hemokai, ki te mate uruta:

14 and there is not an escaped and remaining one of the remnant of Judah, who are entering into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, even to turn back to the land of Judah, to where they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell, for they do not turn back, except those escaping.”

Na ka kore tetahi o nga morehu o Hura i haere nei ki te whenua o Ihipa noho ai e mawhiti, e toe, hei hoki ki te whenua o Hura, ki te wahi e hiahia nei ratou kia hoki ki reira noho ai: na e kore tetahi e hoki ko te hunga anake e mawhiti atu.

15 And they answer Jeremiah—all the men who are knowing that their wives are making incense to other gods, and all the women who are remaining, a great assembly, even all the people who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, in Pathros—saying:

Na katahi nga tangata katoa i mohio kua tahu whakakakara a ratou wahine ki nga atua ke, nga wahine katoa hoki e tu mai ana, he nui te huihui, me te iwi katoa hoki e noho ana i te whenua o Ihipa, i Patoro, ka whakahoki ki a Heremaia, ka mea,

16 “The word that you have spoken to us in the Name of YHWH—we are not listening to you;

Na, mo te kupu kua korerotia nei e koe ki a matou i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, e kore matou e rongo ki a koe.

17 for we certainly do everything that has gone out of our mouth, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our heads, in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and—we are satisfied with bread, and we are well, and we have not seen calamity.

Engari ka tino mahi matou i nga mea katoa i puaki i o matou mangai, ka tahu whakakakara ki te kuini o te rangi, ka riringi ano i nga ringihanga ki a ia, ka pera me ta matou, me ta o matou matua, me ta o matou kingi, me ta o matou rangatira i nga pa o Hura, i nga ara o Hiruharama: i makona hoki matou i reira i te kai, i pai hoki matou, a kihai i kite i te he.

18 And from the time we have ceased to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, we have lacked all, and we have been consumed by sword and by famine,

Otiia no te mutunga o ta matou tahu whakakakara ki te kuini o te rangi, o ta matou ringihanga i nga ringihanga ki a ia, kua kore nga mea katoa, i a matou, a poto iho matou i te hoari, i te hemokai.

19 and when we are making incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out drink-offerings to her—have we made cakes for her to idolize her, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, without our husbands?”

A, i a matou i tahu whakakakara ai ki te kuini o te rangi, i riringi ai hoki i nga ringihanga ki a ia, e ngaro ana ranei a matou tane i a matou e hanga ana i nga keke nana, hei karakia ki a ia; i a matou hoki i riringi ai i nga ringihanga mana?

20 And Jeremiah says to all the people, concerning the men and concerning the women, and concerning all the people who are answering him, saying,

Katahi a Heremaia ka korero ki te iwi katoa, ki nga tane, ki nga wahine, ki te iwi katoa ano nana taua kupu whakautu ki a ia, ka mea,

21 “The incense that you made in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your heads, and the people of the land, has YHWH not remembered it? Indeed, it comes up on His heart.

Ko te whakakakara i tahuna ra e koutou ki nga pa o Hura, ki nga ara hoki o Hiruharama, e koutou, e o koutou matua, e o koutou kingi, e o koutou rangatira, e te iwi hoki o te whenua, kihai ianei ena mea i maharatia e Ihowa, kihai ianei i puta ake ki tona ngakau?

22 And YHWH is not able to accept [you] anymore, because of the evil of your doings, because of the abominations that you have done, and your land is for a ruin, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, without inhabitant, as [at] this day.

A te ahei a Ihowa te whakamanawanui tonu i te kino o a koutou hanga, i nga mea whakarihariha i mahia e koutou; heoi kua ururua to koutou whenua, kua waiho hei miharotanga, hei kohukohutanga, te ai te tangata hei noho, koia ano tenei inaianei.

23 Because that you have made incense, and because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not listened to the voice of YHWH, and have not walked in His law, and in His statutes, and in His testimonies, therefore this calamity has met you as [at] this day.”

No te mea kua tahu koutou i te whakakakara, kua hara hoki ki a Ihowa, a kihai i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, kihai hoki i haere i runga i tana ture, i runga i ana tikanga, i runga i ana whakaatu; mo reira i tutaki ai tenei he ki a koutou, koia ano t enei inaianei.

24 And Jeremiah says to all the people, and to all the women, “Hear a word of YHWH, all Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt:

I mea atu ano a Heremaia ki te iwi katoa, ki nga wahine katoa hoki, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e Hura katoa i te whenua o Ihipa nei:

25 Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, You and your wives both speak with your mouth, and with your hands have fulfilled, saying, We certainly execute our vows that we have vowed, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her. You certainly establish your vows, and certainly execute your vows.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; e ki ana ia: Ko koutou, me a koutou wahine, kua korero o koutou mangai, kua rite ano i o koutou ringa te kupu, Ka mahia marietia e matou a matou kupu taurangi i korerotia e matou, kia ta hu whakakakara ki te kuini o te rangi, kia riringi i nga ringihanga ki a ia: tena whakaungia a koutou kupu taurangi, mahia hoki a koutou kupu taurangi.

26 Therefore, hear a word of YHWH, all Judah who are dwelling in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great Name, said YHWH, My Name is no longer proclaimed by the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, Lord YHWH lives—in all the land of Egypt.

Mo reira whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e Hura katoa e noho nei i te whenua o Ihipa: Nana, kua oatitia e ahau toku ingoa nui, e ai ta Ihowa, e kore toku ingoa e whakahuatia a muri ake nei e te mangai o tetahi tangata o Hura i te whenua katoa o I hipa, e kore e kiia, E ora ana te Ariki, a Ihowa.

27 Behold, I am watching over them for calamity, and not for good, and all the men of Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt have been consumed by sword and by famine, until their consumption.

Nana, kei te tirotiro ahau i a ratou mo te kino, ehara i te mea hei pai: a, ko nga tangata katoa o Hura i te whenua o Ihipa, ka poto i te hoari, i te hemokai hoki, a moti noa ratou.

28 And the escaped of the sword turn back out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number, and all the remnant of Judah, who are coming into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, have known whose word is established, Mine or theirs.

A, ko nga morehu i te hoari, ka hoki atu i te whenua o Ihipa ki te whenua o Hura, he hunga torutoru; a ka mohio nga morehu katoa o Hura i haere nei ki te whenua o Ihipa noho ai, ko ta wai kupu e tu, ko taku ranei, ko ta ratou ranei.

29 And this [is] the sign to you—a declaration of YHWH—that I am seeing after you in this place, so that you know that My words are certainly established against you for calamity—

A ko te tohu tenei ki a koutou, e ai ta Ihowa, ka whiua koutou e ahau ki tenei wahi, kia mohio ai koutou ka mau tonu aku kupu ki te kino mo koutou.

30 thus said YHWH: Behold, I am giving Pharaoh-Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those seeking his life, as I have given Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and who is seeking his life.”

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau a Parao Hopara kingi o Ihipa ki te ringa o ona hoariri, ki te ringa hoki o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea ia; ka rite ano ki taku hoatutanga i a Terekia kingi o Hura ki te ringa o Nepukareha ki ngi o Papurona, o tona hoariri i whai nei kia whakamatea ia.
