< Jeremiah 43 >

1 It happened that, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, with which Jehovah their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
A ka mutu te korero a Heremaia ki te iwi katoa i nga kupu katoa a Ihowa, a to ratou Atua, i unga ai ia ki a ratou e Ihowa, e to ratou Atua, ara enei kupu katoa,
2 then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, "You speak falsely. Jehovah our God has not sent you to say, 'You shall not go into Egypt to live there';
Katahi ka korero a Ataria tama a Hohaia, ratou ko Hohanana tama a Karea, ko nga tangata whakapehapeha katoa ano hoki, ka mea ki a Heremaia, E korero teka ana koe: kihai a Ihowa, to tatou Atua, i unga mai i a koe hei mea, Kaua koutou e haere ki Ih ipa, ki reira noho ai:
3 but Baruch the son of Neriah sets you on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon."
Engari na Paruku, na te tama a Neria koe i whakakiki ki te he mo matou, kia tukua ai matou ki te ringa o nga Karari, kia whakamatea ai matou e ratou, kia whakaraua ai hoki ki Papurona.
4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not obey the voice of Jehovah, to dwell in the land of Judah.
Na kihai a Hohanana tama a Karea, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ko te iwi katoa hoki, i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, kia noho ki te whenua o Hura.
5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, who were returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah;
Engari i mau a Hohanana tama a Karea, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ki nga morehu katoa o Hura i peai nei ratou ki nga iwi katoa, a i hoki mai ki te whenua o Hura noho ai;
6 the men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah;
Ki nga tana, ki nga wahine, ki nga tamariki, ki nga tamahine hoki a te kingi, ki nga tangata katoa i waiho e Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki ki a Keraria tama a Ahikama, tama a Hapana, ki a Heremaia poropiti, ki a Paruku hoki tama a Neria;
7 and they came into the land of Egypt; for they did not obey the voice of Jehovah: and they came to Tahpanhes.
A haere ana ratou ki te whenua o Ihipa; kihai hoki ratou i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa: na ka tae ratou ki Tahapanehe.
8 Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia ki Tahapanehe; i mea ia,
9 "Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in mortar in the brick work, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
Maua atu etahi kohatu nunui i tou ringa, a ka huna ki roto ki te paru ki te papa pereki, ki tera i te kuwaha o te whare o Parao i Tahapanehe, a kia kite hoki nga tangata o Hura;
10 and tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
A ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Nana, ka unga tangata ahau ki te tiki i taku pononga, i a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka whakaturia e ahau tona torona ki runga ki enei kohatu kua huna nei e ahau; a ka horahia e ia tona teneti kingi ki runga.
11 He shall come, and shall strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death shall be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.
Na ka tae mai ia, a ka patu i te whenua o Ihipa; ko te hunga mo te mate ka tukua ki te mate, ko te hunga mo te whakarau ki te whakarau, a ko te hunga mo te hoari ki te hoari.
12 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he shall go forth from there in peace.
Ka ngiha ano i ahau he ahi i roto i nga whare o nga atua o Ihipa; ka tahuna ratou e ia, a ka whakaraua atu: a ka kakahuria e ia te whenua o Ihipa, ano he hepara e kakahu ana i tona kakahu; a ka haere atu ia i reira i runga i te rangimarie.
13 He shall also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire."'"
Ka wawahia hoki e ia nga whakapakoko o Petehemehe, o tera i te whenua o Ihipa, ka tahuna ki te ahi nga whare o nga atua o Ihipa.
