Jeremiah 19
1 Thus said Jehovah, 'Go, and thou hast got a potter's earthen vessel, and of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests,
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Haere, hokona mai tetahi pounamu oneone a te kaihanga rihi, ka tango mai hoki i etahi o nga kaumatua o te iwi, i etahi o nga kaumatua o nga tohunga;
2 and thou hast gone forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, that [is] at the opening of the gate of the pottery, and hast proclaimed there the words that I speak unto thee,
Ka haere ki te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, ki tera i te tomokanga ki te kuwaha Hahiti, a ka karanga i reira i nga kupu e korerotia e ahau ki a koe:
3 and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: 'Lo, I am bringing in evil on this place, at which the ears of every one who is hearing it do tingle,
Ki atu, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e nga kingi o Hura, e te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Tenei ahau te kawe nei i te kino ki tenei wahi, a ko nga tangata katoa e rongo ana, ka tioro oro ona taringa.
4 because that they have forsaken Me, and make known this place, and make perfume in it to other gods, that they knew not, they and their fathers, and the kings of Judah, and they have filled this place [with] innocent blood,
Kua whakarere nei ratou i ahau, kua whakarereketia e ratou tenei wahi, kua tahu whakakakara ki konei ki nga atua ke, kihai nei i mohiotia e ratou, e ratou ko o ratou matua, e nga kingi hoki o Hura; a kua whakakiia e ratou tenei wahi ki te toto o te hunga kore hara.
5 and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons with fire, burnt-offerings to Baal, that I commanded not, nor spake of, nor did it come up on My heart.
Kua hanga hoki e ratou nga wahi tiketike o Paara, kia tahuna ai e ratou a ratou tamariki ki te ahi hei tahunga tinana ki a Paara; he mea kihai i whakahaua e ahau, kihai i korerotia e ahau, kihai ano hoki i puta ake i toku ngakau.
6 'Therefore, lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah — and this place is not called any more, Tophet, and Valley of the son of Hinnom, but, Valley of slaughter.
Mo reira, nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e kore ai tenei wahi e huaina, ko Topete, Ko te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, ranei; engari Ko te raorao o te Parekura.
7 And I have made void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and have caused them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those seeking their life, and I have given their carcase for food to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth,
Na ka meinga e ahau kia he te whakaaro o Hura raua ko Hiruharama ki tenei wahi; a ka meinga ratou e ahau kia hinga i te hoari i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri, i te ringa ano o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea ratou: a ko o ratou tinana ka hoatu e ahau hei kai ma nga manu o te rangi, ma nga kararehe hoki o te whenua.
8 and I have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, every passer by it is astonished, and doth hiss for all its plagues.
A ka meinga e ahau tenei pa hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga; ko nga tangata katoa e haere i konei ka oho, ka whakahi ki ona mate uruta katoa.
9 And I have caused them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and each the flesh of his friend they do eat, in the siege and in the straitness with which straiten them do their enemies, and those seeking their life.
Ka meinga ano ratou e ahau kia kai i nga kikokiko o a ratou tama, i nga kikokiko o a ratou tamahine, a ka kai ratou i nga kikokiko o tona hoa tata, o tona hoa tata, i te whakapaenga, i te kopaninga e kopania ai ratou e o ratou hoariri, e te hunga hoki e whai ana kia whakamatea ratou.
10 'And thou hast broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going with thee,
Katahi koe ka wahi i te pounamu i te tirohanga a nga tangata ka haere tahi atu na koutou,
11 and hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Thus do I break this people and this city, as one breaketh the potter's vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in Tophet they bury — without place to bury;
A ka mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ka rite taku wawahi i tenei iwi, i tenei pa, ka penei me te wahanga o te oko a te kaihanga rihi, e kore nei e taea te tapitapi kia ora ano: a ka tanu hoki ratou ki Topete, kia kore ra ano he wahi hei tanumanga.
12 so I do to this place — an affirmation of Jehovah — and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;
Ko taku tenei e mea ai ki tenei wahi, e ai ta Ihowa, ki ona tangata hoki, kia meinga ra ano tenei pa kia rite ki Topete:
13 and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, have been — as the place of Tophet — defiled, even all the houses on whose roofs they have made perfume to all the host of the heavens, so as to pour out oblations to other gods.'
A ko nga whare o Hiruharama, me nga whare o nga kingi o Hura, kua whakapokea nei, ka rite ki tenei wahi, ki Topete, ara ko nga whare katoa i tahu whakakakara ai ratou i runga i nga tuanui ki te ope katoa o te rangi, i ringihia ai hoki e ratou he ringihanga ki nga atua ke.
14 And Jeremiah cometh in from Tophet, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy, and he standeth in the court of the house of Jehovah, and he saith unto all the people:
Katahi ka haere mai a Heremaia i Topete, i te wahi i unga ai ia e Ihowa ki te poropiti; a tu ana ia i te marae o te whare o Ihowa, a ka mea ki te iwi katoa,
15 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in unto this city, and on all its cities, all the evil that I have spoken against it, for they have hardened their neck — not to hear My words!'
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Nana, ka kawea mai e ahau ki runga ki tenei pa, a ki runga hoki i ona pa katoa, te kino katoa i korerotia ra e ahau mo konei; no te mea kua whakapakeketia e ratou o ratou kaki, kia kore ai ratou e rongo ki aku kupu.
