Jeremiah 7
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Ko te kupu i a Heremaia, he mea na Ihowa; i ki mai ia,
2 "Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, 'Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
E tu ki te kuwaha o te whare o Ihowa, ka karanga i tenei kupu ki reira, ka mea, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e Hura katoa e tomo nei ki enei kuwaha ki te koropiko ki a Ihowa.
3 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Whakapaia o koutou ara me a koutou mahi, a ka meinga e ahau kia noho koutou ki tenei wahi.
4 Do not trust in lying words, saying, "The LORD's temple, The LORD's temple, The LORD's temple, are these."
Kei whakawhirinaki ki nga kupu teka noa, kei ki, Ko te temepara o Ihowa, ko te temepara o Ihowa, ko te temepara o Ihowa enei.
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
Ki te whakapaia rawatia hoki o koutou ara, me a koutou mahi; ki te mea ka tika rawa ta koutou whakarite whakawa i waenganui i te tangata raua ko tona hoa;
6 if you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own hurt:
Ki te kore koutou e tukino i te manene, i te pani, i te pouaru, a kahore e whakaheke i nga toto o te harakore ki tenei wahi, kahore hoki e haere, e whai i nga atua ke hei he mo koutou:
7 then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forevermore.
Katahi ahau ka mea i a koutou kia noho ki tenei wahi, ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki o koutou matua inamata ake ake.
8 Look, you trust in lying words, that can't profit.
Nana, kei te whakawhirinaki na koutou ki nga kupu teka, kahore nei he pai.
9 Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,
E tahae ranei koutou, e patu tangata, e puremu? e oati teka ranei? e tahu whakakakara ranei ki a Paara, e whai ranei i nga atua ke kihai i matauria e koutou;
10 and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, "We are delivered"; that you may do all these abominations?
A ka haere mai, ka tu ki toku aroaro i tenei whare kua huaina nei ki toku ingoa, ka mea, Kua ora matou; kia mahi ai koutou i enei mea whakarihariha katoa?
11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Look, I, even I, have seen it, says the LORD.
Ki ta koutou titiro kua waiho koia hei ana mo nga kaipahua tenei whare kua huaina nei ki toku ingoa? Nana, kua kite ahau, ahau nei ano, e ai ta Ihowa.
12 But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
Engari haere ra ki toku wahi i Hiro, ki te wahi i whakanohoia mataatitia ai e ahau toku ingoa, tirohia taku i mea ai ki reira mo te kino o taku iwi, o Iharaira.
13 Now, because you have done all these works, says the LORD, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear; and I called you, but you did not answer:
Na, inaianei, i ta koutou meatanga i enei mea katoa, e ai ta Ihowa, i korero ano ahau ki a koutou; maranga wawe ana ahau, korero ana, heoi kihai koutou i rongo mai; karanga ana ahau ki a koutou, a kihai i utua taku;
14 therefore I will do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
Na, ko taku e mea ai ki tenei whare i huaina nei ki toku ingoa, ki ta koutou e whakawhirinaki nei, ki te wahi ano i hoatu nei e ahau ki a koutou, ki o koutou matua, ka rite ki taku i mea ai ki Hiro.
15 I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.
Ka akiritia atu ano koutou e ahau i toku aroaro, ka peratia me taku akiritanga i o koutou teina katoa, i nga uri katoa o Eparaima.
16 Therefore do not pray for this people, neither lift up a cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear you.
Heoi, kaua koe e inoi mo tenei iwi; kei ara hoki tetahi tangi, tetahi kupu wawao au mo ratou, kaua hoki ahau e whakamarietia, no te mea e kore ahau e rongo ki a koe.
17 Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Kahore ianei koe i te kite i ta ratou e mea nei i nga pa o Hura, i nga ara ano o Hiruharama?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
Ko nga tamariki kei te kohikohi wahie, ko nga matua kei te whakau i te ahi, ko nga wahine kei te pokepoke i te paraoa hei hanga i etahi keke, he mea ki te kuini o te rangi, riringi tonu iho i te ringihanga ki nga atua ke, hei whakapataritari i a hau.
19 Do they provoke me to anger?" says the LORD. "Do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?"
He whakapataritari ranei ta ratou ki ahau? e ai ta Ihowa; te teka ianei ki a ratou ano, a whakama iho o ratou mata?
20 Therefore thus says the LORD: "Look, my anger and my wrath shall be poured out on this place, on man, and on animal, and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched."
Na, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana, ka ringihia toku riri, toku aritarita, ki runga ki tenei wahi, ki runga ki te tangata, ki te kararehe, ki te rakau o te mara, ki nga hua o te oneone; a ka ngiha, e kore ano e tineia.
21 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat meat.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ko a koutou tahunga tinana tapiritia iho ki runga ki a koutou patunga tapu, kainga hoki he kikokiko.
22 For I did not speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
Kahore hoki aku korero ki o koutou matua, kahore aku whakahau ki a ratou i te ra i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, mo nga tahunga tinana, mo nga patunga tapu.
23 but this thing I commanded them, saying, 'Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'
Engari ko te kupu tenei i whakahaua e ahau ki a ratou; i ki ahau, Whakarongo ki toku reo, a hei Atua ahau mo koutou, ko koutou hoki hei iwi maku, me haere ano koutou i runga i te ara katoa ka whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koutou, kia whiwhi ai ki te pai.
24 But they did not listen nor turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
Otiia kihai ratou i rongo, kihai ano i tahuri to ratou taringa; na haere ana ratou i runga i o ratou ake whakaaro, i nga tikanga pakeke o o ratou ngakau kino; ko ta ratou he anga ki muri, kihai hoki i anga ki mua.
25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
No te ra i haere mai ai o koutou matua i te whenua o Ihipa tae mai ki tenei ra taku tononga atu i aku pononga katoa, i nga poropiti, ki a koutou, maranga wawe ana ahau i tenei ra, i tenei ra, unga ana ratou e ahau.
26 yet they did not listen to me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse than their fathers."
Heoi kihai ratou i rongo ki ahau, kihai ano i tahuri to ratou taringa; na whakapakeketia ana e ratou to ratou kaki: kino iho ta ratou i ta o ratou matua.
27 "You shall speak all these words to them; but they will not listen to you: you shall also call to them; but they will not answer you.
Na mau e korero enei kupu katoa ki a ratou, e kore ia ratou e rongo ki a koe: karanga ki a ratou; e kore ano e utua tau.
28 You shall tell them, 'This is the nation that has not listened to the voice of the LORD their God, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
A me ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te iwi tenei kihai nei i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to ratou Atua, kihai hoki i pai ki te ako: kua kore te pono, kua tapahia atu i to ratou mangai.
29 Cut off your hair, and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.'"
Waruhia ou makawe, e Hiruharama, maka atu, anga atu ki te tangi ki runga ki nga wahi tiketike: kua paopaongia nei hoki e Ihowa, kua whakarerea te whakatupuranga i riri ai ia.
30 "For the people of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight," says the LORD: "they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
He kino hoki te mahi a nga tama a Hura ki taku titiro, e ai ta Ihowa; whakaturia ake e ratou a ratou mea whakarihariha ki te whare kua huaina nei ki toku ingoa, whakapokea iho e ratou.
31 They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.
Hanga ake e ratou nga wahi tiketike o Topete, o tera i te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, hei tahunga mo a ratou tama, mo a ratou tamahine ki te ahi; he mea kihai nei i whakahaua e ahau, kihai ano i puta ake i roto i toku ngakau.
32 Therefore look, the days come," says the LORD, "that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The Valley of Ben Hinnom, but The Valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, until there is no place to bury.
Mo reira, na, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e kore ai e kiia i muri, Ko Topete, Ko te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, ranei; engari Ko te raorao i te parekura: ka tanu tangata hoki ratou ki Topete, a kia kore ra ano he wahi hei tanumanga.
33 The dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth; and none shall frighten them away.
A ka waiho nga tinana o tenei iwi hei kai ma nga manu o te rangi, ma nga kararehe o te whenua; kahore hoki he kaiwhakawehi atu.
34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste."
Ka whakamutua ano e ahau i roto i nga pa o Hura, i nga ara ano o Hiruharama, te reo koa, te reo hari, te reo o te tane marena hou, te reo o te wahine marena hou: no te mea ka ururuatia te whenua.
