Jeremiah 32
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia, he mea na Ihowa, i te tekau o nga tau o Terekia kingi o Hura, ara i te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Nepukareha.
2 Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.
Na i taua wa e whakapaea ana a Hiruharama e te taua a te kingi o Papurona; a ko Heremaia poropiti kua oti te tutaki ki roto ki te marae o te whare herehere i te whare o te kingi o Hura.
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you prophesy, and say, ‘The LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;
Na Terekia hoki, na te kingi o Hura ia i tutaki; i mea tera, He aha koe i poropiti ai, i ki ai, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau tenei pa ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, a ka horo i a ia;
4 and Zedekiah king of Judah won’t escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes will see his eyes;
A ko Terekia kingi o Hura, e kore e mawhiti i te ringa o nga Karari; engari ka tukua putia ia ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, a ka korero ia ki a ia he mangai ki te mangai, a e kite hoki ona kanohi i ona kanohi;
5 and he will bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him,” says the LORD, “though you fight with the Chaldeans, you will not prosper”’?”
A ka arahina e ia a Terekia ki Papurona, a ki reira ia noho ai, kia tae atu ra ano ahau ki te tirotiro i a ia, e ai ta Ihowa; ahakoa whawhai koutou ki nga Karari, e kore e taea e koutou?
6 Jeremiah said, “The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Na ka mea a Heremaia, I puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea ia,
7 ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.”’”
Nana, tera e tae mai ki a koe a Hanameere tama a Harumu, a tou matua keke, a ka mea, Mau e hoko taku mara i Anatoto; kei a koe na hoki te tikanga o te utu whakahoki.
8 “So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the LORD’s word, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself.’ “Then I knew that this was the LORD’s word.
Na ka haere mai ki ahau a Hanameere tama a toku matua keke, ka pera me ta Ihowa i ki ai, ki te marae o te whare herehere, a ka mea ki ahau, Tena koa, hokona taku mara i Anatoto, i te whenua o Pineamine; kei a koe hoki te tikanga o taua wahi, mau ano te utu e hoki ai; hokona mau. Katahi ahau ka mohio, he kupu tenei na Ihowa.
9 I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
Na ka hokona e ahau te mara a Hanameere tama a toku matua, keke, tera i Anatoto, a paunatia atu ana e ahau te moni mana, ara tekau ma whitu nga hekere hiriwa.
10 I signed the deed, sealed it, called witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances to him.
Na ka tuhituhi ahau ki te pukapuka, hiri rawa, karangatia ana nga kaititiro, a paunatia atu ana e ahau te moni mana ki te pauna.
11 So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;
Na ka mau ahau ki te pukapuka o te hoko, ki te mea hiri i rite nei ki ta te ture, ki ta nga tikanga, a ki te mea hirikore:
12 and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
A hoatu ana e ahau te pukapuka o te hoko ki a Paruku tama a Neria, tama a Maaheia i te tirohanga ano a Hanameere tama a toku matua keke, i te tirohanga hoki a nga kaititiro i tuhituhia ai te pukapuka o te hoko, i te tirohanga ano hoki a nga Hura i katoa e noho ana i te marae o te whare herehere.
13 “I commanded Baruch before them, saying,
Na ka whakahau ahau ki a Paruku i o ratou aroaro, i mea atu ahau,
14 the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.’
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Maua atu enei pukapuka, tenei pukapuka o te hoko, te mea hiri me tenei pukapuka hirikore, whaowhina ki te oko oneone; kia maha ai nga ra e mau ai.
15 For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Houses and fields and vineyards will yet again be bought in this land.’
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Tera nga whare, nga mara, me nga mara waina ka hokohokona ano a muri nei ki tenei whenua.
16 Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying,
Na, i muri i taku hoatutanga i te pukapuka o te hoko ki a Paruku tama a Neria, ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa, ka mea,
17 “Ah Lord GOD! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.
Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, nana, kua hanga e koe te rangi me te whenua, na tou kaha nui, na tou ringa maro; kahore he mea e pakeke ki a koe:
18 You show loving kindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. The great, the mighty God, the LORD of Armies is your name:
He mahi aroha nei tau ki nga mano, e utua ana e koe te kino o nga matua ki roto ki te uma o a ratou tamariki i muri i a ratou: ko tona ingoa ko te Atua nui, ko te Atua marohirohi, ko Ihowa o nga mano:
19 great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
He nui ki te whakaaro, he kaha ki te mahi: e tuwhera ana hoki ona kanohi ki nga ara katoa o nga tama a te tangata; he mea kia rite ai ki tona ara ake, ki nga hua o ana mahi, nga mea e hoatu ai ki tenei, ki tenei:
20 who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men; and made yourself a name, as it is today;
Nau nei i homai nga tohu me nga mea whakamiharo ki te whenua o Ihipa, a taea noatia tenei ra, i roto i a Iharaira, i era atu hoki; a meinga ana e koe he ingoa mou, penei i tenei inaianei;
21 and brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, with wonders, with a strong hand, with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
Nau nei hoki i kawe mai tau iwi, a Iharaira, i te whenua o Ihipa i runga i nga tohu, i nga mea whakamiharo, i te ringa kaha, i te takakau maro hoki, i te wehi nui;
22 and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
A homai ana e koe ki a ratou tenei whenua i oati ai koe ki o ratou matua ka homai ki a ratou, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi;
23 They came in and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice and didn’t walk in your law. They have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do. Therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them.
Na haere mai ana ratou, a riro ana a konei i a ratou; heoi kihai ratou i rongo ki tou reo, kihai hoki i haere i runga i tau ture; kihai rawa i mahia e ratou tetahi o nga mea i whakahaua e koe ki a ratou kia mahia: koia i meinga ai e koe tenei ki no katoa kia pa ki a ratou.
24 “Behold, siege ramps have been built against the city to take it. The city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, of the famine, and of the pestilence. What you have spoken has happened. Behold, you see it.
Nana, nga puke, kua tae mai ratou ki te pa, kia horo ai; a ka hoatu te pa ki te ringa o nga Karari e whawhai nei ki konei, na te hoari hoki, na te hemokai, na te mate uruta: a, ko tau i korero ra, kua rite; nana, e kite nei koe.
25 You have said to me, Lord GOD, ‘Buy the field for money, and call witnesses;’ whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”
Heoi kua mea mai na koe, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ki ahau, Hokona te mara mau ki te moni, whakaturia ano nga kaititiro; kahore ia, kua tukua te pa ki te ringa o nga Karari.
26 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia; i mea ia,
27 “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?
Nana, ko Ihowa ahau, ko te Atua o nga kikokiko katoa: tera ranei tetahi mea e pakeke rawa ki ahau?
28 Therefore the LORD says: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will take it.
Heoi ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau tenei pa ki te ringa o nga Karari, ki te ringa o Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka horo i a ia:
29 The Chaldeans, who fight against this city, will come and set this city on fire, and burn it with the houses on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
A ka haere mai nga Karari e whawhai nei ki tenei pa, ka tahu i tenei pa ki te ahi, ka wera hoki i a ratou, me nga whare i tahu whakakakara ai ratou i runga i nga tuanui ki a Paara, i ringihia ai hoki nga ringihanga ki nga atua ke, hei whakapatar itari i ahau.
30 “For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says the LORD.
No te mea ko nga tamariki a Iharaira ratou ko nga tamariki a Hura, he kino kau ta ratou i mahi ai i taku tirohanga, no to ratou tamarikitanga ake ano: he whakapataritari kau hoki ta nga tamariki a Iharaira i ahau ki te mahi a o ratou ringa, e ai ta Ihowa.
31 For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day, so that I should remove it from before my face,
Ko te ahau hoki o tenei pa ki ahau he mea whakaoho o toku riri, i toku weriweri, no te ra i hanga ai e ratou a tae noa mai ki tenei ra; kia nekehia atu ra ano e ahau i toku aroaro;
32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger—they, their kings, their princes, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Mo te kino katoa a nga tamariki a Iharaira ratou ko nga tamariki a Hura, i mahia nei e ratou hei whakapataritari i ahau, e ratou, e o ratou kingi, e o ratou rangatira, e o ratou tohunga, e o ratou poropiti, e nga tangata o Hura, e nga tangata ho ki o Hiruharama.
33 They have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. Although I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
A kua parea mai e ratou te kohamo, kahore te kanohi ki ahau: a, ahakoa naku ratou i whakaako, moata ai i te ata me te ako i a ratou, kihai ratou i rongo, i manako ki te ako.
34 But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
Heoi whakaturia ana e ratou a ratou mea whakarihariha ki te whare i huaina nei toku ingoa mo reira, whakapokea iho.
35 They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech, which I didn’t command them. It didn’t even come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.”
A hanga ana e ratou nga wahi tiketike o Paara, era i te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, kia meinga ai a ratou tama, me a ratou tamahine, kia tika i roto i te ahi ki a Moreke; he mea kihai i whakahaua e ahau, kihai hoki i puta ake i toku ngakau, kia m ahia e ratou tenei mea whakarihariha, e hara ai a Hura.
36 Now therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning this city, about which you say, “It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:”
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei inaianei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira mo tenei pa, e ki na koutou, Ka tukua ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, ma te hoari, ma te hemokai, ma te mate uruta;
37 “Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place. I will cause them to dwell safely.
Nana, ka kohikohia mai ratou e ahau i nga whenua katoa i peia atu nei ratou e ahau ki reira, i toku riri, i toku weriweri, i te aritarita nui; ka whakahokia mai ano ratou e ahau ki tenei wahi, a ka meinga kia noho humarie;
38 Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.
A ko ratou hei iwi maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo ratou.
39 I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good and the good of their children after them.
A ka hoatu e ahau he ngakau kotahi ki a ratou, he ara kotahi, kia wehi ai ratou i ahau a ake ake; hei pai mo ratou, mo a ratou tamariki hoki i muri i a ratou.
40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.
Ka whakaritea ano e ahau he kawenata mau tonu ki a ratou, he mea e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau i a ratou, kia mahia he pai ki a ratou; a ka hoatu e ahau toku wehi ki o ratou ngakau, kei whakarere ratou i ahau.
41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.”
Ae ra, ka koa ahau ki a ratou hei mea i te pai ki a ratou, a he pono ka whakapaua toku ngakau, ka whakapaua hoki toku wairua ki te whakato i a ratou ki tenei whenua i runga i te pono.
42 For the LORD says: “Just as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them.
No te mea ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka pera i taku kawenga i tenei kino nui katoa ki runga ki tenei iwi, waihoki ka kawea e ahau ki runga ki a ratou te pai katoa i korerotia e ahau mo ratou.
43 Fields will be bought in this land, about which you say, ‘It is desolate, without man or animal. It is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’
Ka hokohokona ano he mara ki tenei whenua, e ki na koutou mo reira, He ururua, te ai he tangata, he kararehe ranei; kua hoatu ki te ringa o nga Karari.
44 Men will buy fields for money, sign the deeds, seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed,” says the LORD.
Ka hokona e te tangata he mara ki te moni, ka tuhituhia ano he pukapuka, ka hiritia, ka whakaturia nga kaititiro, i te whenua o Pineamine, i nga taha o Hiruharama, i nga pa hoki o Hura, i nga pa o te whenua pukepuke, i nga pa o nga raorao, i nga pa hoki o te tonga: no te mea ka whakahokia mai ratou e ahau i te whakarau, e ai ta Ihowa.
