Jeremiah 42
1 And all the captains of the forces, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah, the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest, came near,
Katahi nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ratou ko Hohanana tama a Karea, ko Tetania tama a Hohaia, ko te iwi katoa hoki, i te iti ki te rahi, ka haere mai,
2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet: “Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us to Jehovah, thy God, for all this remnant; (for we are left a few out of many, as thine eyes do behold us; )
A ka mea ki a Heremaia poropiti, Tena, tukua atu ta matou inoi kia manaakitia ki tou aroaro; mau hoki e inoi mo matou ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ara mo enei morehu katoa; he torutoru noa hoki matou o te tokomaha i toe iho, e kite na ou kanohi i a m atou:
3 that Jehovah, thy God, may show us the way wherein we shall walk, and the thing which we shall do.”
Kia whakaaturia mai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a matou te ara e haere ai matou, te mea e mahi ai matou.
4 And Jeremiah the prophet said to them: “I have heard; behold, I will pray to Jehovah your God, according to your words, and all which Jehovah shall answer you I will declare to you; I will keep back nothing from you.”
Ano ra ko Heremaia poropiti ki a ratou, Kua rongo ahau ki a koutou; nana, ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, ka rite ki a koutou kupu na: a, ko nga kupu katoa e whakahokia mai e Ihowa ki a koutou, ka whakaaturia e ahau ki a koutou; e kor e tetahi kupu e kaiponuhia e ahau ki a koutou.
5 Then they said to Jeremiah: “May Jehovah be our witness, a faithful and true witness! According to all for which Jehovah our God shall send thee to us, so will we do.
Ano ra ko ratou ki a Heremaia, He pono, he tika hoki a Ihowa hei kaiwhakaatu mo ta tatou, ki te kahore e rite ta matou e mea ai ki nga kupu katoa e unga mai ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a matou.
6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we send thee, that it may be well with us when we shall have obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God.”
Ahakoa pai, ahakoa kino, ka rongo matou ki te reo o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, ka unga nei koe e matou ki a ia; kia whai pai ai matou, ki te rongo matou ki te reo o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.
7 And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah.
Na i te mutunga o nga ra kotahi tekau ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia.
8 And he called Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest,
Katahi ia ka karanga ki a Hohanana tama a Karea, ratou ko ona hoa, ko nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ki te iwi katoa hoki, ki te iti, ki te rahi,
9 and said to them: “Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, to whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him:
A ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, i unga nei ahau e koutou ki te whakatakoto i ta koutou inoi ki tona aroaro;
10 If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I repent me of the evil which I have done to you.
Ki te noho tonu koutou ki tenei whenua, katahi ahau ka hanga i a koutou, a kahore e wahi iho i a koutou, ka whakatokia hoki koutou e ahau, a kahore e hutia ake: no te mea e ripeneta ana ahau ki te kino kua oti nei i ahau te mea ki a koutou.
11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith Jehovah; for I will be with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Kaua e wehi i te kingi o Papurona, e wehingia na e koutou: kaua e wehi i a ia, e ai ta Ihowa; no te mea kei a koutou ahau hei whakaora i a koutou, hei tango i a koutou i roto i tona ringa.
12 And I will show mercies to you, that he may have compassion upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
A ka tukua atu aku mahi atawhai ki a koutou, kia atawhai ai ia i a koutou, a ka whakahoki i a koutou ki to koutou oneone.
13 But if ye say, 'We will not dwell in this land,' so as not to hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God,
Tena ki te mea koutou, E kore matou e noho ki tenei whenua; a ka kore koutou e rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua;
14 saying, 'No! but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor be hungry for bread, and there will we dwell, —
Ka mea, Kahore; engari ka haere matou ki te whenua o Ihipa, ki te wahi e kore ai matou e kite i te whawhai, e kore ai hoki e rongo i te tangi o te tetere, a e kore ai e hiakai ki te taro; a hei reira tatou noho ai:
15 now, therefore, hear the word of Jehovah, ye remnant of Judah! Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: If ye set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there,
Na kia rongo koutou aianei, e nga morehu o Hura, ki te kupu a Ihowa, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ki te maro tonu o koutou kanohi ki te haere ki Ihipa, a ka haere koutou ki reira noho ai;
16 then it shall come to pass that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, of which ye were afraid, shall follow close after you into Egypt, and there shall ye die.
Na ka mau koutou i te hoari, e wehingia nei e koutou, ki reira, ki te whenua o Ihipa, a ka whaia tatatia koutou e te hemokai, e wehi na koutou, ki reira, ki Ihipa; a ka mate koutou ki reira.
17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there. They shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, and not one of them shall remain, or escape from the evil which I bring upon them.
Na ka pena nga tangata katoa e naro ana o ratou kanohi ki te haere ki Ihipa ki reira noho ai; ka mate ratou i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta: a e kore tetahi o ratou e toe, e mawhiti i te kino e takina mai e ahau ki runga ki a ratou.
18 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my wrath have been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt; and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; Ka rite ki taku ringihanga i toku riri, i toku weriweri, ki runga ki nga tangata o Hiruharama, ka pena ano taku ringihanga i toku weriweri ki runga ki a koutou, ina tae koutou ki Ih ipa: a hei kohukohutanga, hei hahanitanga; a e kore koutou e kite i tenei wahi a muri atu.
19 This is the word of Jehovah to you, ye remnant of Judah! Go ye not into Egypt; ye shall surely know that I have warned you this day.
Kua puaki ta Ihowa kupu mo koutou, E nga morehu o Hura, Kaua e haere ki Ihipa: kia tino mohio koutou kua oti te whakaatu e ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra.
20 Ye err to your own ruin; for ye sent me to Jehovah your God, saying, 'Pray for us to Jehovah our God, and according to all that Jehovah our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do it';
Kua tinihanga hoki koutou ki o koutou na wairua ano; i unga hoki koutou i ahau ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, i ki mai, Inoi mo matou ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua; a, ko nga mea katoa e korerotia e Ihowa, e to tatou Atua, mau e whakaatu ki a mat ou, a ka mahia e matou.
21 and now I have this day declared it to you, but ye have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah your God, nor to anything for which he sent me to you.
Na kua whakaaturia nei e ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra; otira kihai koutou i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua, i nga mea katoa i unga ai ahau e ai ki a koutou.
22 Now, therefore, ye shall know assuredly, that by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence ye shall die, in the place whither ye have chosen to go and to sojourn.”
Ko tenei, kia tino mohio koutou, tera koutou e mate i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta, ki te wahi i hiahia ai koutou kia haere ki reira noho ai.
