Heremaia 11

1 Ko te kupu i pa mai ki a Heremaia he mea na Ihowa; i ki ia,

The worde that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,

2 Whakarongo koutou ki nga kupu o tenei kawenata, korero hoki ki nga tangata o Hura ratou ko te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama;

Heare ye the wordes of this couenant, and speake vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem,

3 Mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ka kanga te tangata e kore e whakarongo ki nga kupu o tenei kawenata,

And say thou vnto them, Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the wordes of this couenant,

4 I whakahaua nei e ahau ki o koutou matua i te ra i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, i roto i te oumu rino; i ahau i ki ra, Whakarongo ki toku reo, mahia hoki aua mea, kia rite ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koutou; a ka wa iho koutou hei iwi maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo koutou:

Which I commanded vnto your fathers, when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt, from the yron fornace, saying, Obey my voyce, and doe according to all these things, which I commande you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God,

5 Kia whakamana ai e ahau te oati i oatitia e ahau ki o koutou matua, kia hoatu ki a ratou he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi, penei me tenei ra. Katahi ka whakahoki ahau, ka mea, Koia ano tena, e Ihowa.

That I may confirme the othe, that I haue sworne vnto your fathers, to giue them a lande, which floweth with milke and hony, as appeareth this day. Then answered I and sayde, So be it, O Lord.

6 Na ka ki mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Karangatia enei kupu katoa ki nga pa o Hura, ki nga ara ano o Hiruharama, mea atu, Whakarongo ki nga kupu o tenei kawenata, mahia hoki.

Then the Lord saide vnto me, Cry all these words in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, saying, Heare yee the words of this couenant, and doe them.

7 I tino whakatupato hoki ahau i o koutou matua i te ra i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, a taea noatia tenei ra, maranga wawe ana ahau, whakatupato ana; mea ana, Whakarongo ki toku reo.

For I haue protested vnto your fathers, whe I brought them vp out of the land of Egypt vnto this day, rising earely and protesting, saying, Obey my voyce.

8 Heoi kihai ratou i rongo, kihai i tahuri o ratou taringa; otiia haere ana ratou, ia tangata, ia tangata, i runga i nga tikanga pakeke a tona ngakau kino: mo reira ka takina e ahau ki a ratou nga kupu katoa o tenei kawenata i whakahaua nei e ahau kia mahia, a kihai nei i mahia e ratou.

Neuerthelesse they would not obey, nor encline their eare: but euery one walked in the stubbernesse of his wicked heart: therefore I will bring vpon them all the wordes of this couenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did it not.

9 I mea ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Kua kitea te he e whakatakotoria ana e nga tangata o Hura, e te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama.

And the Lord sayd vnto me, A conspiracie is found among the men of Iudah, and among the inhabitants of Ierusalem.

10 Kua hokia e ratou nga he o o ratou matua o mua, kihai nei i pai ki te whakarongo ki aku kupu, haere ana ratou ki te whai i nga atua ke, mahi ana ki a ratou: kua whakataka e te whare o Iharaira ratou ko te whare o Hura taku kawenata i whakaritea e ahau ki o ratou matua.

They are turned backe to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to heare my wordes: and they went after other gods to serue them: thus the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue broken my couenant, which I made with their fathers.

11 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tenei te takina nei e ahau ki a ratou, he he; e kore ano ratou e mawhiti; ka karanga ano ratou ki ahau, otiia e kore ahau e rongo ki a ratou.

Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will bring a plague vpon them, which they shall not be able to escape, and though they crye vnto me, I will not heare them.

12 A ka haere nga pa o Hura me nga tangata o Hiruharama, ka karanga ki nga atua e tahu whakakakara nei ratou ki a ratou: hore rawa ia a ratou whakaora mo ratou i te wa e raru ai.

Then shall the cities of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem goe, and crie vnto the gods vnto whome they offer incense, but they shall not bee able to helpe them in time of their trouble.

13 I rite hoki ou atua, e Hura, ki ou pa te maha; me nga aata i hanga e koutou ma taua mea whakama, rite tonu ki nga ara o Hiruharama te maha, ara nga aata tahu whakakakara ki a Paara.

For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Iudah, and according to the number of the streetes of Ierusalem haue yee set vp altars of confusion, euen altars to burne incense vnto Baal.

14 Heoi kaua e inoi mo tenei iwi; kei ara hoki tetahi tangi, tetahi kupu wawao mo ratou; no te mea e kore ahau e rongo i te wa e karanga ai ratou ki ahau, ina raru ratou.

Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp a crie, or prayer for them: for when they cry vnto mee in their trouble, I will not heare them.

15 Ko te aha ma taku wahine aroha i roto i toku whare, kua mahi he nei hoki ia, he tini nga hoa, a kua kore te kikokiko tapu i a koe? i tau mahinga i te kino, na, kei te whakamanamana koe.

What shoulde my beloued tarie in mine house, seeing they haue committed abomination with manie? and the holy flesh goeth away from thee: yet when thou doest euill, thou reioycest.

16 I huaina e Ihowa tou ingoa, Ko te oriwa matomato, ataahua, hua papai: nui atu te reo ngangau i tahuna ai e ia te ahi mona, kua whatiwhatiia ona manga.

The Lord called thy name, A greene oliue tree, faire, and of goodly fruite: but with noyse and great tumult he hath set fyre vpon it, and the branches of it are broken.

17 Kua korerotia nei hoki e Ihowa o nga mano, e tou kaiwhakato, he he mou, hei utu mo te kino o te whare o Iharaira raua ko te whare o Hura, i mahia nei e ratou hei he mo ratou, hei whakapatari i ahau, i a ratou ka tahu whakakakara nei ki a Paara.

For the Lord of hostes that planted thee, hath pronounced a plague against thee, for the wickednes of the house of Israel, and of the house of Iudah, which they haue done against themselues to prouoke me to anger in offering incense vnto Baal.

18 I meinga ano ahau e Ihowa kia mohio ki taua mea, a mohio ana ahau: i whakakitea mai ano e koe ki ahau a ratou mahi.

And the Lord hath taught me, and I knowe it, euen then thou shewedst mee their practises.

19 Ko ahau ia i rite ki te reme, e arahina ana kia patua; kihai i mohio, e hanga whakaaro ana ratou moku, e mea ana, Kia kore i a tatou te rakau me ona kua, kia tapahia atu ia i runga i te whenua o te hunga ora, kia kore ai he maharatanga ki tona i ngoa.

But I was like a lambe, or a bullocke, that is brought to the slaughter, and I knewe not that they had deuised thus against me, saying, Let vs destroy the tree with the fruite thereof, and cut him out of the lande of the liuing, that his name may be no more in memory.

20 Tena, e Ihowa o nga mano, kei runga nei hoki i te tika tau whakawa, e whakamatau ana koe i nga whatumanawa, i te ngakau, kia kite ahau i tau rapunga utu i a ratou: kua whakakitea atu nei hoki e ahau taku totohe ki a koe.

But O Lord of hostes, that iudgest righteously, and triest the reines and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened my cause.

21 Heoi ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa mo nga tangata o Anatoto e whai nei kia whakamatea koe, e mea nei, Kaua e poropiti i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, kei mate koe i to matou ringa:

The Lord therefore speaketh thus of the men of Anathoth, (that seeke thy life, and say, Prophecie not in the Name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hands)

22 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tenei ahau te whiu nei i a ratou: ka mate nga taitamariki i te hoari; ko a ratou tama, ko a ratou tamahine, ka mate i te hemokai.

Thus therefore sayth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will visite them: the yong men shall die by the sword: their sonnes and their daughters shall die by famine,

23 E kore ratou e whai morehu; no te mea ka kawea e ahau he kino ki nga tangata o Anatoto, ara ko te tau e whiua ai ratou.

And none of them shall remaine: for I will bring a plague vpon the men of Anathoth, euen the yeere of their visitation.
