Jeremiah 51
1 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, And against them that dwell in the midst of mine adversaries, A destroying wind;
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Nana, ka whakaarahia e ahau he hau whakamoti mo Papurona, mo te hunga hoki e noho ana i Repekamai.
2 And I will send against Babylon winnowers, And they shall winnow her, and empty her land; For they shall come against her on every side.
Ka unga ano e ahau he kaititaritari ki Papurona, a ka titaria e ratou; ka meinga tona whenua kia takoto kau: no te mea i te ra o te he ka tatau ratou ki a ia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.
3 Against him that bendeth, let the archer bend his bow, And against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine! And spare ye not her young men; Destroy ye utterly her whole host!
Kaua te kiakopere e whakapiko i tana kopere, kaua ano hoki ia e whakarewa ake i a ia me te pukupuku ki runga i a ia: kaua ana taitama e tohunga; whakangaromia rawatia e koutou tana ope katoa.
4 Thus shall they fall down slain in the land of the Chaldaeans, And thrust through in her streets.
Na ka hinga nga tupapaku ki te whenua o nga Karari, he mea wero ki ona ara.
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah abandoned of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; For their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
Kahore hoki a Iharaira i whakarerea, kahore ano hoki a Hura, e tona Atua, e Ihowa o nga mano; ahakoa kei te kapi to ratou whenua i te hara ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
6 Flee ye out of Babylon, And save ye every man his life, That ye be not cut off in her punishment! For this is the time of Jehovah's vengeance; He will render to her a recompense.
Rere atu i roto o Papurona, e kuhu he tangata i tona wairua i tona; kei hatepea atu koutou i roto i tona he; no te mea ko te wa tenei o ta Ihowa rapu utu; ka rite tana utu ki a ia.
7 Babylon has been a golden cup in the hand of Jehovah, That made all the earth drunken; The nations have drunken of her wine, Therefore the nations are mad.
He kapu koura a Papurona i roto i te ringa o Ihowa, nana i haurangi ai te whenua katoa: kua inumia tona waina e nga iwi; na reira ka haurangi nga iwi.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen, and broken; Howl ye over her; Bring ye balm for her wounds, If so be she may be healed.
Inamata kua taka a Papurona, kua pakaru: e tangi ki a ia; e mau i te pama mo tona mamae, me kore noa ia e taea te rongoa.
9 “We would have healed Babylon, But she cannot be healed. Forsake her, and let us go every one to his own country! For her punishment reacheth to the heavens, And ascendeth even to the skies.”
Tera e rongoatia e matou a Papurona, heoi kihai ia i ora: whakarerea ia, ka haere tatou ki tona whenua, ki tona whenua; no te mea kua tutuki atu tona whakawa ki te rangi, kua rewa ake ki nga kapua ra ano.
10 Jehovah hath brought forth our deliverance; Come ye, and let us declare in Zion The work of Jehovah our God.
Kua whakaputaina e Ihowa to tatou tika: haere mai, kia korerotia e tatou te mahi a Ihowa, a to tatou Atua ki Hiona.
11 Make sharp the arrows; put on the shields! Jehovah hath roused up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; For his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; For this is the vengeance of Jehovah, The vengeance for his temple.
Whakakoia nga pere; puritia nga whakangungu rakau, kia mau: kua whakaohongia e Ihowa te wairua o nga kingi o nga Meri; he tikanga hoki tana mo Papurona kia whakangaromia; no te mea he rapunga utu tenei na Ihowa, he rapunga utu mo tona temepara.
12 Against the walls of Babylon set up a standard, Make strong the guard, appoint the watchmen, prepare the ambush! For Jehovah deviseth and doeth that which he spake Against the inhabitants of Babylon.
Whakaarahia he kara ki nga taiepa o Papurona, whakakahangia nga kaitiaki, whakaritea nga kaitiaki, whakatakotoria nga pehipehi: kua takoto hoki i a Ihowa, kua oti ano i a ia tana i korero ai mo nga tangata o Papurona.
13 O thou that dwellest by great waters, That aboundest in treasures, Thine end is come; The measure of thy rapaciousness is full!
E te wahine e noho na i runga i nga wai maha, he maha nei ou taonga, kua tae mai tou whakamutunga, te ruri mo tou apo taonga.
14 Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, [[saying, ]] Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillars, Who shall raise the war-shout against thee.
Kua oatitia e Ihowa o nga mano tona oranga, kua mea, He pono ka whakakiia koe e ahau ki te tangata, kei te huhu te rite; a ka hamama ratou ki a koe.
15 He made the earth by his power, He established the world by his wisdom, And by his understanding he spread out the heavens.
Nana i hanga te whenua, na tona kaha; ko te ao nana i whakapumau, na ona whakaaro nui; ko nga rangi na tona matauranga i hora.
16 When he uttereth his voice there is an abundance of water in the heavens; He causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He bringeth the wind from his storehouses.
Kia puaki tona reo, ka haruru nga wai i nga rangi, ka meinga e ia nga kohu kia piki ake i nga pito o te whenua; e hanga ana e ia nga uira me te ua, e whakaputaina mai ana te hau i roto i ona whare taonga.
17 Brutish is every man who hath not this knowledge; By his images is every founder put to shame; For his molten work is deceit; There is no breath in it.
Ka poauau katoa te tangata, ka kore he mohio; whakama iho nga kaiwhakarewa koura katoa i tana whakapakoko: he mea teka hoki tana i whakarewa ai, kahore he manawa i roto i a ratou.
18 They are vanity, deceptive work; In the time of their punishment shall they perish.
He horihori kau ratou, he mea pohehe: ka ngaro ratou i te wa e tirotirohia ai ratou.
19 Not like them is he who is the portion of Jacob; He is the former of all things, And Israel is his allotted inheritance. Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Kahore e rite ki era te wahi i a Hakopa: ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaahua o nga mea katoa; a ko Iharaira te iwi o tona kainga tupu: ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa.
20 Thou hast been to me my battle-hammer, My weapon of war. And with thee I broke in pieces the nations, And with thee I destroyed the kingdoms.
Ko koe taku toki poutangata, ko aku patu mo te whawhai: hei wawahi koe maku mo nga iwi, hei whakamoti maku mo nga kingitanga;
21 And with thee I broke in pieces the horse and his rider, And with thee I broke in pieces the chariot and its driver.
Hei wawahi ano koe maku mo te hoiho raua ko tona kaieke: hei wawahi koe maku mo te hariata, mo te tangata ano i runga;
22 With thee I broke in pieces man and woman, And with thee I broke in pieces the old and the young, And with thee I broke in pieces the young man and the maiden.
Hei wawahi koe maku mo te tangata, mo te wahine; hei wawahi koe maku mo te koroheke, mo te tamariki; hei wawahi koe maku mo te taitama, mo te taitamahine;
23 With thee I broke in pieces the shepherd and his flock, And with thee I broke in pieces the husbandman and his team; And with thee I broke in pieces prefects and governors.
Hei wawahi koe maku mo te hepara, mo tana kahui; hei wawahi koe maku mo te kaiparau, mo ana kau hoki kua oti te ioka; hei wawahi koe maku mo nga rangatira, mo nga ariki.
24 But now before your eyes will I repay to Babylon, And to all the inhabitants of Chaldaea, All the evil which they have done in Zion, saith Jehovah.
Ka utua hoki e ahau a Papurona, me nga tangata katoa o Karari mo ta ratou kino katoa i mea ai ratou ki Hiona i ta koutou tirohanga, e ai ta Ihowa.
25 O thou destroying mountain, that destroyest the whole earth, Behold, I am against thee, saith Jehovah! And I will stretch out my hand against thee, And roll thee down from the rocks, And make thee a burnt mountain,
Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e te maunga whakamoti, e ai ta Ihowa, e huna na koe i te whenua katoa: a ka totoro atu toku ringa ki a koe, ka hurihia iho koe i runga i nga toka, a ka meinga koe hei maunga kua oti te tahu.
26 So that none shall take from thee a corner-stone, or a foundation-stone; But thou shalt be a perpetual desolation, saith Jehovah.
A e kore tetahi kohatu e tangohia mai e ratou i a koe mo te kokonga, tetahi kohatu ranei mo nga turanga; engari ka ururua koe a ake ake, e ai ta Ihowa.
27 Set ye up a standard in the land, Sound a trumpet among the nations; Enlist the nations against Babylon, Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; Appoint captains against her, Cause the horses to come up like the bristled locusts!
Whakaarahia e koe he kara ki te whenua, whakatangihia te tetere i roto i nga iwi, kia rite mai nga iwi hei whawhai ki a ia, karangarangatia hei whawhai ki a ia nga kingitanga o Ararata, o Mini, o Ahakenaha: whakaritea he rangatira hei mea ki a i a; meinga nga hoiho kia kokiri ake ano he tatarakihi puhuruhuru.
28 Enlist ye against her the nations, The kings of the Medes, and their prefects, And all their governors, And all the lands under their dominion,
Kia rite mai nga iwi, nga kingi o nga Meri, o ratou rangatira, o ratou ariki, me te whenua katoa ano o tona kingitanga hei whawhai ki a ia.
29 So that the earth shall tremble and quake! For the purpose of Jehovah against Babylon is to be fulfilled, To make the land of Babylon a desolation, without an inhabitant.
Na kei te wiri te whenua, kei te mamae: no te mea kei te tu tonu nga whakaaro katoa o Ihowa mo Papurona, kia meinga te whenua o Papurona hei ururua, te ai he tangata.
30 The mighty men of Babylon refuse to fight; They remain in their stronghold; Their strength hath failed; They have become women; Her habitations are burned; Her bars are broken.
Kua kahore nga marohirohi o Papurona e whawhai, kei te noho ratou i roto i o ratou wahi kaha; kua kore to ratou kaha; kua rite ratou ki te wahine: kua wera ona nohoanga; kua whati ona tutaki.
31 Courier runs to meet courier, And messenger to meet messenger, To make known to the king of Babylon, That his city is taken from end to end;
Ka rere tetahi kaikorero kia tutaki ki tetahi, tetahi karere hoki kia tutaki ki tetahi, hei whakaatu ki te kingi o Papurona kua horo tona pa i nga taha katoa:
32 That the passages are taken, That the reeds are burned with fire, And that the men of war are struck with terror.
Kua riro ano nga whitinga, kua wera nga kakaho i te ahi, a kua mataku nga tangata whawhai.
33 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon shall be like a thrashing-floor when it is thrashed; Yet a little while, and the time of harvest for her shall come.
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Ko te rite i te tamahine a Papurona kei te patunga witi i te wa e takahia ai; he wa iti ake, ka tae ki te wa o tona kotinga.
34 Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, hath devoured us; He hath made an end of us; He hath made us empty vessels; He hath swallowed us up like a dragon; He hath filled his maw with our delicacies; He hath cast us out.
Kua pau ahau i a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, kua pepe ahau i a ia, kua meinga ahau e ia hei oko tahanga, kua horomia ahau e ia ano na te tarakona, whakakiia ana hoki e ia tona kopu ki aku kia reka; kua maka ahau e ia ki waho.
35 “The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon!” Shall the inhabitant of Zion say; And, “My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldaeans!” shall Jerusalem say.
Hei runga i Papurona te tukinotanga ki ahau, ki oku kikokiko hoki, e ai ta te wahine o Hiona; a hei runga i nga tangata o Karari oku toto, e ai ta Hiruharama.
36 Therefore, thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will maintain thy cause, And take vengeance for thee; And I will dry up her sea, And make her springs dry.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka tohe ahau i tau tohe, a ka rapu ahau i nga utu mou; a ka mimiti i ahau tona moana, ka maroke hoki ona puna.
37 And Babylon shall become heaps, The dwelling-place of jackals, An astonishment and a hissing, Without an inhabitant.
A ka waiho a Papurona hei puranga, hei nohoanga mo nga kirehe mohoao, hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga atu, te ai te tangata.
38 Together shall they roar like lions; They shall yell like lions' whelps.
Ka hamama ngatahi ratou, ano he raiona; ka ngangara ratou ano he kuao raiona.
39 In their heat I will prepare them a drink, And will make them drunk, so that they shall rejoice, And then sleep an everlasting sleep, And awake no more, saith Jehovah.
Kia werawera ratou, ka taka e ahau he hakari ma ratou, a ka whakahaurangitia ratou e ahau, kia whakamanamana ai ratou, kia moe ai i te moe roa, te korikori, e ai ta Ihowa.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, Like rams with he-goats.
Ka riro ratou i ahau ki raro, ano he reme ki te patunga; ano he hipi toa i huihuia atu ki nga koati toa.
41 How is Sheshach taken! How is the praise of the whole earth fallen! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
Taukiri e, kua horo a Hehaka! kua huakina tatatia te whakamoemiti a te whenua katoa. Taukiri e kua waiho a Papurona hei ururua i roto i nga iwi!
42 The sea is come up over Babylon; With the roaring of its waves is she covered.
Kua tae ake te moana ki Papurona; kua taupokina ia e ona ngaru maha.
43 Her cities have become a desolation, A dry land and a desert, A land in which no man dwelleth, And which no son of man passeth through.
Kua moti ona pa, he whenua waikore, he ururua, e kore e nohoia e tetahi tangata, e kore hoki tetahi tama a te tangata e tika na reira.
44 I will punish Bel at Babylon, And bring forth from his mouth that which he hath swallowed, And the nations shall flow to him no more; Even the wall of Babylon shall fall.
Ka whiua hoki e ahau a Pere i Papurona, ka whakaputaina mai e ahau i roto i tona mangai te mea i horomia e ia; e kore ano nga iwi e rere a wai mai ki a ia a mua; ae ra, ka hinga ano te taiepa o Papurona.
45 Go ye out of her, my people, And save ye every man his life From the fierce anger of Jehovah!
E taku iwi, puta atu i roto i a ia, kahaki koutou i a koutou, i tera, i tera, i te mura o to Ihowa riri.
46 And let not your heart faint, And fear ye not on account of the rumors which are heard in the land, When in one year a rumor cometh, And after it in another year another rumor, And violence is in the land, Ruler against ruler.
Kei hopi o koutou ngakau, kei wehi hoki koutou ki te rongo meake nei rangona ki te whenua; no te mea ka tae mai he rongo i tetahi tau, a i muri i tena i tetahi atu tau ka tae mai ano he rongo, he tukino ki te whenua, he rangatira e whakatika ana ki te rangatira.
47 Therefore, behold the days come When I will punish the graven images of Babylon, And her whole land shall be confounded; And all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
Mo reira, nana, kei te haere mai nga ra e whiua ai e ahau nga whakapakoko o Papurona, a ka whakama tona whenua katoa; a ka hinga ona tupapaku i roto i a ia.
48 Then the heavens shall shout over Babylon, And the earth and all that is therein; For out of the North come spoilers against her, saith Jehovah.
Na katahi ka waiata te rangi me te whenua, me nga mea katoa i reira ki Papurona, he hari hoki; no te mea ka haere mai nga kaipahua ki a ia i te raki, e ai ta Ihowa.
49 As Babylon caused the slain of Israel to fall, So at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the land.
I te mea na Papurona i mea nga tupapaku o Iharaira kia hinga, waihoki ka hinga ki Papurona nga tupapaku o te whenua katoa.
50 Ye that have escaped her sword, go! Tarry not! Remember Jehovah afar off, And let Jerusalem come into your mind!
E koutou kua mawhiti atu na i te hoari, haere koutou, kaua e tu noa; mahara ki a Ihowa i tawhiti, tukua mai hoki a Hiruharama ki roto ki o koutou ngakau.
51 We have been confounded, because we have heard reproach; Shame hath covered our faces, For strangers have come into the sanctuaries of the house of Jehovah.
Whakama ana matou, mo matou i rongo i te tawai; kua taupokina o matou mata e te porohurahu: kua tae mai hoki nga tautangata ki nga wahi tapu o te whare o Ihowa.
52 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, When I will punish her graven images, And through all her land shall the wounded groan.
Mo reira, nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e whiua ai e ahau ana whakapakoko; a tera e ngunguru te hunga i werohia a puta noa i tona whenua katoa.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to the heavens, And make inaccessible the height of her strength, Yet from me shall spoilers come upon her, saith Jehovah.
Ahakoa i kake atu a Papurona ki runga ki te rangi, ahakoa i hanga e ia tona wahi tiketike kaha kia kaha rawa, e tae atu ano i ahau nga kaipahua ki a ia, e ai ta Ihowa.
54 Hark! a cry from Babylon, Of great destruction from the land of the Chaldaeans!
He reo te hamama mai nei i Papurona, he wawahanga nui kei te whenua o nga Karari!
55 For Jehovah destroyeth Babylon, And bringeth to silence her loud tumult; Their waves roar like great waters; Their tumultuous noise resounds.
No te mea kei te pahua a Ihowa i Papurona, a kei te whakakore atu i te reo nui i roto i a ia; a ka haruru o ratou ngaru ano ko nga wai maha, ka puta te tuki o to ratou reo:
56 For the spoiler is come upon her, upon Babylon; And their mighty men are taken, And all their bows are broken; For Jehovah is a God of retribution; He will surely requite.
Kua tae mai hoki te kaipahua ki a ia, ki Papurona, kua mau hoki ona marohirohi, kua mongamonga a ratou pere: no te mea he Atua a Ihowa no te whakahoki utu, a he pono ka tino takoto tana utu.
57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, Her prefects, and her governors, and her mighty men; And they shall sleep an everlasting sleep, And shall no more awake, saith the King, Whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
Na ka whakahaurangitia e ahau ona rangatira, ona tangata whakaaro nui, ona kawana, ona ariki, ona marohirohi hoki; a ka moe ratou i te moe roa, te korikori, e ai ta te Kingi, ko tona ingoa nei ko Ihowa o nga mano.
58 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be razed to the foundations, And her high gates shall be burned with fire; So that nations shall have labored for naught, And kingdoms have wearied themselves for fire.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Ka pakaru rawa nga taiepa wharahi o Papurona, a ka wera ona kuwaha tiketike i te ahi; a ka mauiui nga iwi mo te kore noa iho, nga iwi hoki mo te ahi; a ruha noa ratou.
59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah, the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah, the king of Judah, into Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign. This Seraiah was chief chamberlain.
Ko te kupu i whakahaua e Heremaia poropiti ki a Heraia tama a Neria tama a Maaheia i to raua haerenga tahitanga atu ko Terekia kingi o Hura ki Papurona i te wha o nga tau o tona kingitanga. Na ko Heraia te tino rangatira o te whare kingi.
60 And Jeremiah wrote all the evil that was to come upon Babylon in one book, all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
Na tuhituhia iho e Heremaia ki te pukapuka te kino katoa meake puta ki Papurona, ara enei kupu katoa kua tuhituhia nei mo Papurona.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, see that thou read all these words,
A i mea a Heremaia ki a Heraia, E tae koe ki Papurona, me tino korero e koe enei kupu katoa,
62 and say, O Jehovah, thou hast spoken against this place to destroy it, so that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall remain desolate forever!
A ka mea, E Ihowa, kua korerotia e koe tenei wahi kia hatepea atu, kia kaua hoki tetahi e noho ki konei, tangata ranei, kararehe ranei, engari kia waiho tonu hei ururua ake ake.
63 And when thou hast made an end of reading this book, bind a stone upon it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates,
Na, ka mutu tau korero i tenei pukapuka, herea e koe ki reira tetahi kohatu, ka maka atu ai ki waenganui o Uparati:
64 and say: So shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again from the evil which I bring upon her. And they shall utterly fail. Thus far the words of Jeremiah.
A ka mea atu koe, Ka penei te totohutanga o Papurona, e kore hoki e puea ake ano, i te kino e takina mai e ahau ki runga ki a ia: a ka ruha ratou. I mutu ki konei nga kupu a Heremaia.
