Jeremiah 15

1 Then said the LORD to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, [yet] my mind [could] not [be] towards this people: cast [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.

Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Ahakoa i tu a Mohi raua ko Hamuera ki toku aroaro, e kore ahau e whai ngakau ki tenei iwi: maka atu ratou i toku aroaro, kia haere atu ratou.

2 And it shall come to pass, if they say to thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as [are] for death, to death; and such as [are] for the sword, to the sword; and such as [are] for the famine, to the famine; and such as [are] for the captivity, to the captivity.

Na ki te mea ratou ki a koe, Me haere matou ki hea? katahi koe ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko nga mea mo te mate, ki te mate; a ko nga mea ma te hoari, ki te hoari; ko nga mea hoki mo te hemokai, ki te hemokai; a ko nga mea mo te whakarau, ki te whakarau.

3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.

E wha hoki nga tu mea e whakaritea e ahau mo ratou, e ai ta Ihowa: ko te hoari hei whakamate, ko nga kuri hei haehae, a ko nga manu o te rangi, ko nga kararehe hoki o te whenua hei kai, hei whakamoti.

4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for [that] which he did in Jerusalem.

Ka tukua hoki ratou e ahau kia poipoia haeretia i waenga i nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua, mo ta Manahi tama a Hetekia kingi o Hura, mo tana i mea ai ki Hiruharama.

5 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask concerning thy welfare?

Ko wai oti e tohu i a koe, e Hiruharama? ko wai ranei e tangi ki a koe? ko wai e peka atu ki te ui, kei te ora ranei koe?

6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.

Kua whakarerea ahau e koe, e ai ta Ihowa, kua hoki whakamuri koe: koia i totoro atu ai toku ringa ki a koe, i whakamotitia ai koe; kua hoha ahau ki te ripeneta.

7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave [them] of children, I will destroy my people, [since] they return not from their ways.

Kua powhiriwhiritia ratou e ahau ki te mea powhiriwhiri i nga kuwaha o te whenua; kua whakapania ratou e ahau i te tamariki, kua ngaro i ahau taku iwi; kahore ratou i tahuri mai i o ratou ara.

8 Their widows are multiplied to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noon-day: I have caused [him] to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.

Ko a ratou pouaru i toku aroaro kua tokomaha atu i te onepu o nga moana: kua kawea e ahau ki a ratou, hei hoariri mo te whaea o nga taitama, he kaipahua i te poutumarotanga: kua meinga e ahau kia pa whakarere ki a ia te pawera me te tumatatenga.

9 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath resigned her breath; her sun is gone down while [it was] yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

Ngohe kau te wahine ka tokowhitu nei ana tamariki; kua hemo tona wairua; kua rere tona ra i te mea ko te awatea nei ano; kua whakama hoki ia, kua numinumi kau: ka tukua atu hoki e ahau o ratou morehu ki te hoari i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri, e a i ta Ihowa.

10 Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor have men lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me.

Aue, toku mate, e toku whaea, i whanau mai ahau i roto i koe he tangata totohe, he tangata ngangare ki te whenua katoa! kihai ahau i whakatarewa atu i te moni whakatupu, kihai ano te moni whakatupu i whakatarewaina mai ki ahau; otiia kei te kang a ratou katoa ki ahau.

11 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to treat thee [well] in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

I mea a Ihowa, He pono ka whakakahangia koe e ahau mo te pai; he pono ka meinga e ahau te hoariri kia inoi ki a koe i te wa o te he, i te wa o te mamae.

12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?

E taea ranei e tetahi te wahi te rino, te rino o te raki, te parahi ranei?

13 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and [that] for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.

Ka hoatu e ahau ou rawa me ou taonga hei taonga parakete, kahore hoki he utu, a hei mea tera mo ou hara katoa, ara i ou rohe katoa.

14 And I will make [thee] to pass with thy enemies into a land [which] thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in my anger, [which] shall burn upon you.

A ka meinga ratou e ahau kia haere tahi me ou hoariri ki te whenua kihai i mohiotia e koe: no te mea kei te ngiha he ahi i ahau e riri nei, ka tonu atu ki a koutou.

15 O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy long-suffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.

E Ihowa, e mohio ana koe; mahara ki ahau, tirohia ahau, rapua he utu mo toku matenga i oku kaitukino; kaua ahau e tangohia atu i a koe ka puhoi nei ki te riri: kia mohio koe, mou ahau i tawaia ai.

16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

I kitea au kupu, a kainga ake e ahau; a ki ahau hei whakakaoa, hei whakahari au kupu mo toku ngakau: kua huaina hoki tou ingoa moku, e Ihowa, e te Atua o nga mano.

17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

Kihai ahau i noho i roto i te whakaminenga o te hunga whakahi, kihai i whakamanamana atu; i noho mokemoke ahau, he whakaaro ki tou ringa: kua whakakiia nei hoki ahau e koe ki te riri.

18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, [which] refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether to me as a liar, [and as] waters [that] fail?

He aha toku mamae i mau tonu ai, toku patunga te mahu ai, te pai ai ki te rongoa? ka rite rawa ranei koe ki ahau me te awa paremoremo, me nga wai e kore e mau?

19 Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou shalt return, then will I bring thee again, [and] thou shalt stand before me: and if thou shalt separate the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return to thee; but return not thou to them.

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ki te hoki koe na ka whakahokia koe e ahau, kia tu ai koe ki toku aroaro; a ki te tangohia atu e koe te mea utu nui i te mea kino, ka rite koe ki toku mangai: ko ratou e hoki ki a koe, kaua ia koe e hoki ki a r atou.

20 And I will make thee to this people a fortified brazen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I [am] with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

Ka meinga hoki koe e ahau ki tenei iwi hei taiepa parahi; a ka whawhai ratou ki a koe, otiia e kore ratou e kaha ki a koe; no te mea kei a koe ahau hei whakaora i a koe, e mawhiti ai koe, e ai ta Ihowa.

21 And I will deliver thee from the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee from the hand of the terrible.

Ka meinga ano koe e ahau kia mawhiti i roto i te ringa o te hunga kino, ka hokona ano koe e ahau i roto i te ringa o te hunga nanakia.
