Jeremiah 34
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying:
Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia na Ihowa, i a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona ratou ko tana ope katoa, ko nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua i raro i tona mana, me nga iwi katoa, i whawhai ai ki Hiruharama me ona pa katoa; i mea ia,
2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Haere, korero ki a Terekia kingi o Hura, mea atu ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau tenei pa ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, a ka tahuna e ia ki te ahi.
3 and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
A e kore koe e mawhiti i roto i tona ringa, engari ka mau pu koe, ka tukua hoki ki tona ringa; a ka kite ou kanohi i nga kanohi o te kingi o Papurona, a ka korero ia ki a koe he mangai ki te mangai, ka tae ano hoki koe ki Papurona.
4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus saith the LORD concerning thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword;
Whakarongo ano hoki ki te kupu a Ihowa, e Terekia kingi o Hura; ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa mou, E kore koe e mate i te hoari;
5 thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee, [saying], Ah lord! for I have spoken the word, saith the LORD.
Engari ka mate koe i runga i te rangimarie; na, ko nga tahunga o ou matua, o nga kingi o mua, i mua atu i a koe, ka pena ano he tahunga mou; a ka tangi ratou ki a koe, ka mea, Aue, e te Ariki! naku nei hoki te kupu i korero, e ai ta Ihowa.
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
Katahi a Heremaia poropiti ka korero i enei kupu katoa ki a Terekia kingi o Hura i Hiruharama.
7 when the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these [alone] remained of the cities of Judah [as] fenced cities.
I te mea e whawhai ana te ope o te kingi o Papurona ki Hiruharama, ki nga pa katoa o Hura i mahue, ki Rakihi, ki Ateka: ko enei anake hoki o nga pa o Hura i mahue, he pa taiepa.
8 The word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia na Ihowa, i muri i te whakaritenga kawenata a Kingi Terekia ki te hunga katoa i Hiruharama, kia karangatia ki a ratou te haere noa;
9 that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, [to wit], of a Jew his brother:
Kia tukua e tera, e tera, tana pononga tane, tana pononga wahine, ki te mea he tane, he wahine ranei no nga Hiperu, kia haere noa atu; kia kaua tetahi e whakamahi i a ratou, ara i tona teina, i te Hurai:
10 And all the princes and all the people obeyed, which had entered into the covenant, that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:
A ka rongo nga rangatira katoa ratou ko te iwi katoa i uru nei ki te kawenata, kia tukua e tera, e tera, tana pononga tane, tana pononga wahine, kia haere noa atu, kia kaua e whakamahia ratou i muri atu; na rongo tonu ratou, a tukua atu ana e ra tou.
11 but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids:
Engari i muri iho ka tahuri ano ratou, a meinga ana e ratou kia hoki mai nga pononga tane, me nga pononga wahine i tukua ra e ratou kia haere noa atu, whakataurekarekatia iho ratou hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine:
12 Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Na reira ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia, he mea na Ihowa; i ki ia,
13 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, I whakaritea e ahau he kawenata ki o koutou matua i te ra i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga; i mea ahau,
14 At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother that is an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee, and hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
I te mutunga o nga tau e whitu me tuku e koutou tona tuakana, tona teina, ki te mea he Hiperu i hokona ki a koe, a kua mahi ki a koe e ono nga tau, me tuku e koe kia haere noa atu i tou taha: otira kihai o koutou matua i rongo ki ahau, kihai ano o ratou taringa i anga mai.
15 And ye were now turned, and had done that which is right in mine eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
Na i tahuri nei koutou i tenei ra, i mahi i te mea e tika ana ki taku titiro, i te karangatanga ai he haere noa atu e tera, e tera, ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa; a i whakaritea e koutou he kawenata ki toku aroaro i roto i te whare kua huaina nei tok u ingoa ki reira:
16 but ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and ye brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
Otiia tahuri ana koutou, whakapokea ana e koutou toku ingoa, whakahokia ana e koutou tana pononga tane, tana pononga wahine i tukua ra e koutou kia haere noa atu ki ta ratou i pai ai, whakataurekarekatia iho ratou e koutou hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine ma koutou.
17 Therefore thus saith the LORD: Ye have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim unto you a liberty, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; Kihai koutou i rongo ki ahau, ki te karanga i te haere noa atu ki tona teina, ki tona tuakana, ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa: nana, maku e karanga ki a koutou he haere noa atu, e aita Ihowa, ma te hoari, ma te mate uruta, ma te matekai; a ka meinga koutou e ahau kia poipoia haeretia i waenganui i nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua.
18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in twain and passed between the parts thereof;
Ka hoatu hoki e ahau nga tangata i whakataka nei i taku kawenata, a kihai i whakamana i nga kupu o te kawenata i whakaritea e ratou i toku aroaro, i a ratou i tapahi ai i te kuao kau kia rua, a haere ana i waenganui i ona wahi;
19 the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
Nga rangatira o Hura, nga rangatira hoki o Hiruharama, nga unaka, nga tohunga, me te iwi katoa o te whenua i haere nei i waenganui o nga wahi o te kuao kau;
20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
Ka tino hoatu ratou e ahau ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri, ki te ringa hoki o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea ratou: a hei kai o ratou tinana ma te manu o te rangi, ma te kararehe o te whenua.
21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up from you.
Ka hoatu ano e ahau a Terekia kingi o Hura ratou ko ana rangatira, ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri, ki te ringa hoki o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea ratou, ki te ringa ano o te ope o te kingi o Papurona i haere atu nei i a koutou.
22 Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
Nana, maku e whakahau, e ai ta Ihowa, a ka meinga ratou kia hoki mai ki tenei pa; a ka whawhai ratou ki reira, ka horo hoki i a ratou, a ka tahuna ki te ahi: a ka meinga e ahau nga pa o Hura kia ururuatia, te ai he tangata hei noho.
