Jeremiah 49

1 Concerning the sons of Ammon: 'Thus said Jehovah: Sons — hath Israel none? heir — hath he none? Wherefore hath Malcam possessed Gad? And his people in its cities have dwelt?

Mo nga tamariki a Amona. Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Kahore ianei a Iharaira tamariki? kahore ana tangata hei whakarerenga iho mo ana taonga? na he aha a Kara i riro ai i a Marakomo, i noho ai tona iwi ki roto ki ona pa?

2 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sounded unto Rabbah of the sons of Ammon a shout of battle, And it hath been for a heap — a desolation, And her daughters with fire are burnt, And Israel hath succeeded its heirs, Said hath Jehovah.

Mo reira, tenei nga ra te haere mai nei, e ai ta Ihowa, e meinga ai e ahau te whakaoho o te riri kia rangona ki Rapa o nga tama a Amona; a ka waiho hei puranga kua ururuatia, ka tahuna ana tamahine ki te ahi: a ka riro i a Iharaira te hunga i a r atou nei ia i mua, e ai ta Ihowa.

3 Howl, Heshbon, for spoiled is Ai, Cry, daughters of Rabbah, gird on sackcloth, Lament, and go to and fro by the hedges, For Malcam into captivity doth go, His priests and his princes together.

Aue, e Hehepona, kua pahuatia hoki a Hai; e tangi, e nga tamahine a Rapa, whitikiria koutou ki te kakahu taratara: e tangi, ka omaoma noa i waenga i nga taiepa; no te mea ka riro a Marakomo i te whakarau, ona tohunga me ona rangatira ngatahi ano.

4 What — dost thou boast thyself in valleys? Flowed hath thy valley, O backsliding daughter, Who is trusting in her treasures: Who doth come in unto me?

He aha koe i whakamanamana ai ki nga raorao, ki tou raorao taheke, e te tamahine tahurihuri ke? e whakawhirinaki nei ki ona taonga, e mea nei, Ko wai e haere mai ki ahau?

5 Lo, I am bringing in upon thee a fear, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, From all round about thee, And ye have been driven out each before it, And there is no gatherer of the wandering.

Nana, ka takina e ahau he wehi ki runga ki a koe, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano, he mea na te hunga katoa i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha; a ka aia rawatia atu koutou, tera, tera, ki waho, a kahore he kaitawhiu mai mo te mea i marara atu.

6 And after this I turn back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, An affirmation of Jehovah.'

Hei muri ia ka whakahokia e ahau nga tama a Amona i te whakarau, e ai ta Ihowa.

7 Concerning Edom: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Perished hath counsel from the intelligent? Vanished hath their wisdom?

Mo Eroma. Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Kua kahore ranei te whakaaro nui i Temana? kua moti ianei te whakatakoto korero a te hunga mohio? kua memeha ranei to ratou whakaaro nui?

8 Flee, turn, go deep to dwell, ye inhabitants of Dedan, For the calamity of Esau I brought in upon him, The time I inspected him.

E rere koutou, tahuri atu, hei roro riro noho ai, e nga tangata o Rerana; no te mea ka takina mai e ahau te aitua o Ehau ki runga ki a ia, i te wa e tirotiro ai ahau i a ia.

9 If gatherers have come in to thee, They do not leave gleanings, If thieves in the night, They have destroyed their sufficiency!

Ki te tae atu he kaikohikohi karepe ki a koe, e kore ianei e mahue i a ratou etahi karepe hei hamunga? ki te mea he tahae i te po, e kore ianei ratou e tukituki kia makona rawa ratou?

10 For I — I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to be hidden he is not able, Spoiled [is] his seed, and his brethren, And his neighbours, and he is not.

Kua takoto kau ia i ahau a Ehau, kua hurahia e ahau ona wahi ngaro, te ahei ia te huna i a ia: kua oti ona uri te pahua, ona teina me ona hoa tata, a kua kore hoki ia.

11 Leave thine orphans — I do keep alive, And thy widows — on Me trust ye,

Waiho au pani, maku e whakaora; ko ou pouaru, kia whakawhirinaki ratou ki ahau.

12 For thus said Jehovah: They whose judgment is not to drink of the cup, Do certainly drink, And thou [art] he that is entirely acquitted! Thou art not acquitted, for thou certainly drinkest.

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa: Nana, ko te hunga i takoto nei te tikanga kia kaua e inu i te kapu, he pono ka inumia e ratou; a ko koe ranei te mea e kore rawa e whiua? e kore e kore ka whiua koe, engari ka tino inu nei koe.

13 For, by Myself, I have sworn, An affirmation of Jehovah, That for a desolation, for a reproach, For a waste, and for a reviling — is Bozrah, And all her cities are for wastes age-during.

No te mea kua waiho ahau e ahau ano hei oati, e ai ta Ihowa, ka waiho a Potora hei miharotanga, hei ingoa kino, hei ururua, hei kanga ano hoki; a ka waiho ona pa katoa hei koraha ake ake.

14 A report I have heard from Jehovah, And an ambassador among nations is sent, Gather yourselves and come in against her, And rise ye for battle.

Kua rangona e ahau he korero i a Ihowa, kua oti hoki te karere te tuku ki nga iwi, hei ki atu, Whakahuihui i a koutou, haere mai hoki ki a ia, a ka whakatika atu ki te whawhai.

15 For, lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised among men.

No te mea, na, kua meinga koe e ahau kia iti i roto i nga tauiwi, he mea whakahawea i roto i nga tangata.

16 Thy terribleness hath lifted thee up, The pride of thy heart, O dweller in clefts of the rock, Holding the high place of the height, For thou makest high as an eagle thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.

Tena ko tou whakamataku, he whakakake no tou ngakau i pohewa ai koe, e koe e noho na i nga kapiti o te kamaka, e pupuri na i te wahi tiketike o te pukepuke: ahakoa hanga e koe tou ohanga kia rite ki to te ekara te tiketike, ka whakahokia iho koe e ahau i reira, e ai ta Ihowa.

17 And Edom hath been for a desolation, Every passer by her is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues.

A ka meinga a Eroma hei miharotanga: ko nga tangata katoa e tika ana na reira, ka miharo, ka hi mai ki ona whiunga katoa.

18 As the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And its neighbours, said Jehovah, No one doth dwell there, Nor sojourn in her doth a son of man.

Ka rite ki te hurihanga o Horoma, o Komora, o nga pa hoki i tata ki reira, e ai ta Ihowa, e kore tetahi tangata e whai kainga ki reira, e kore hoki tetahi tama a te tangata e noho ki reira.

19 Lo, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause him to run from off her, And who is chosen? concerning her I lay a charge, For who is like Me? and who conveneth Me? And who [is] this shepherd who standeth before Me?

Nana, ka rite ia ki te raiona e haere ake ana i te whakamanamana o Horano ki te nohoanga kaha: otiia ka meinga ohoreretia ai e ahau kia rere atu i a ia; a ko wai te mea e whiriwhiria e ahau ko ia hei rangatira mona? Ko wai hoki e rite ana ki aha u? ko wai hei whakarite he wa moku? ko wai ano tenei hepara hei tu ki toku aroaro?

20 Therefore, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, That He hath counselled concerning Edom, And His devices that He hath devised Concerning the inhabitants of Teman: Drag them out do not little ones of the flock, Make desolate over them doth he not their habitation?

Mo reira whakarongo ki te tikanga a Ihowa kua whakatakotoria e ia mo Eroma; ki ona whakaaro hoki, kua whakaaroa e ia mo nga tangata o Temana: He pono ka toia atu ratou, ara nga mea ririki o te kahui; he pono ka meinga e ia to ratou nohoanga, rat ou hoki kia ngaro.

21 From the noise of their fall hath the earth shaken, The cry — at the sea of Suph is its voice heard.

Oho ana te whenua i te haruru o to ratou hinganga: tera te hamama, rangona ana mai tona ngangau i te Moana Whero.

22 Lo, as an eagle he cometh up, and flieth, And he spreadeth his wings over Bozrah, And the heart of the mighty of Edom hath been in that day, As the heart of a distressed woman!'

Nana, ka haere mai ia a ka rere ano he ekara, a ka roha atu ona parirau ki runga ki Potora: a ka rite te ngakau o nga marohirohi o Eroma i taua ra ki te ngakau o te wahine e whakamamae ana.

23 Concerning Damascus: Ashamed hath been Hamath and Arpad, For an evil report they have heard, They have been melted, in the sea [is] sorrow, To be quiet it is not able.

Mo Ramahiku. Kua whakama a Hamata, raua ko Arapara; no te mea kua tae he rongo kino ki a ratou, harotu kau ratou: tera te tangi kei te moana; kahore e marino.

24 Feeble hath been Damascus, She turned to flee, and fear strengthened her, Distress and pangs have seized her, as a travailing woman.

Kua ngoikore a Ramahiku, kua anga ki te rere, mau pu hoki i te wehi: kua rokohanga hoki ia e te raru, e te mamae, me te mea he wahine e whanau ana.

25 How is it not left — the city of praise, The city of my joy!

Taukiri e! kihai i mahue te pa e whakamoemititia ana, te pa i koa ai ahau!

26 Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And all the men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.

Heoi hinga ana ana taitama i ona waharoa, moti pu nga tangata whawhai katoa i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

27 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Damascus, And it consumed palaces of Ben-Hadad!'

Na ka tahuna ano e ahau he ahi i roto i te taiepa o Ramahiku, a ka pau i reira nga whare kingi o Peneharara.

28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten: 'Thus said Jehovah: Arise ye, go ye up unto Kedar, And spoil the sons of the east.

Mo Kerara, mo nga kingitanga hoki o Hatoro i patua nei e Nepukareha kingi o Papurona. Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Whakatika koutou, whakaekea a Kerara, pahuatia hoki nga tama o te rawhiti.

29 Their tents and their flock they do take, Their curtains, and all their vessels, And their camels, they bear away for themselves, And they called concerning them, Fear [is] round about.

Ka tangohia e ratou o ratou teneti, a ratou hipi; a ka mauria atu e ratou ma ratou o ratou kakahu arai, a ratou oko katoa, me a ratou kamera: a tera ratou e karanga ki a ratou, He wehi kei nga taha katoa.

30 Flee, bemoan mightily, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor — an affirmation of Jehovah, For given counsel against you hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Yea, he deviseth against them a device.

E rere koutou, haere atu ki tawhiti, nohoia a roto riro, e nga tangata o Hatoro, e ai ta Ihowa; kua takoto hoki te tikanga a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona mo koutou, kua whakaaroa hoki e ia he whakaaro mo koutou.

31 Rise ye, go up unto a nation at rest, Dwelling confidently, an affirmation of Jehovah, It hath no two-leaved doors nor bar, Alone they do dwell.

Whakatika, whakaekea te iwi e noho ana i te rangimarie, e noho kore wehi na, e ai ta Ihowa; kahore na o ratou keti, kahore he tutaki, e noho takitahi ana.

32 And their camels have been for a prey, And the multitude of their cattle for a spoil, And I have scattered them to every wind, Who cut off the corner [of the beard], And from all its passages I bring in their calamity, An affirmation of Jehovah.

A ka pahuatia a ratou kamera, a hei taonga parau hoki te tini o a ratou kararehe: a ka whakamararatia e ahau ki nga hau katoa te hunga i tapahia nga tapa o o ratou makawe; a ka takina mai e ahau te aitua mo ratou i nga taha katoa o ratou, e ai t a Ihowa.

33 And Hazor hath been for a habitation of dragons, A desolation — unto the age, No one doth dwell there, nor sojourn in it doth a son of man!'

A hei nohoanga a Hatoro mo nga kuri mohoao, hei ururua ake ake: e kore tetahi tangata e whai kainga ki reira, e kore ano hoki tetahi tama a te tangata e noho ki reira.

34 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:

Ko te kupu a Ihowa i puta mai ki a Heremaia poropiti mo Erama i te timatanga o te kingitanga o Terekia kingi o Hura; i mea ia,

35 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am breaking the bow of Elam, The beginning of their might.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Nana, ka whatiia e ahau te kopere a Erama, te mea nui rawa o to ratou kaha.

36 And I have brought in to Elam four winds, From the four ends of the heavens, And have scattered them to all these winds, And there is no nation whither outcasts of Elam come not in.

A ka takina atu e ahau nga hau e wha i nga pito e wha o te rangi ki runga ki Erama, a ka titaritaria atu ratou e ahau ki aua hau katoa; kahore hoki he iwi e kore te taea atu e te hunga o Erama ka peia atu nei.

37 And I have affrighted Elam before their enemies, And before those seeking their life, And I have brought in against them evil, The heat of Mine anger, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent after them the sword, Till I have consumed them;

A ka meinga e ahau a Erama kia wehi i te aroaro o ona hoariri, i te aroaro hoki o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea ratou: ka takina hoki e ahau he kino ki runga ki a ratou, ko toku riri e mura ana, e ai ta Ihowa; a ka unga e ahau te hoari ki m uri i a ratou, a kia poto ra ano ratou i ahau:

38 And I have set My throne in Elam, And I have destroyed thence King and princes — an affirmation of Jehovah.

Na ka whakaturia e ahau toku torona ki Erama, a ka whakakahoretia atu to reira kingi, ratou ko nga rangatira, e ai ta Ihowa.

39 And it hath come to pass, in the latter end of the days, I turn back [to] the captivity of Elam, An affirmation of Jehovah!'

Otiia hei nga ra whakamutunga ka whakahokia e ahau a Erama i te whakarau, e ai ta Ihowa.
