< Heremaia 20 >
1 Na ka rongo a Pahuru tama a Imere tohunga, tino kawana i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i a Heremaia e poropiti ana i enei mea.
And Pashur the son of Immer, the priest — and he was chief officer in the house of Jehovah — heard Jeremiah prophesy these things.
2 Katahi a Pahuru ka patu i a Heremaia poropiti, kuhuna ana e ia ki te here waewae i te kuwaha o runga o Pineamine, ki tera i te whare o Ihowa.
And Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah.
3 Na i te aonga ake ka whakaputaina mai a Heremaia e Pahuru i te here waewae. Katahi a Heremaia ka mea ki a ia, Ehara a Pahuru i te ingoa i huaina e Ihowa mou, engari ko Makoro Mihapipi.
And it came to pass the next day, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks; and Jeremiah said unto him, Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
4 No te mea ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka meinga koe e ahau hei whakawehi mou ano, mo ou hoa katoa ano hoki; ka hinga ratou i te hoari a o ratou hoariri, me te titiro ano ou kanohi: ka hoatu ano e ahau a Hura katoa ki te ringa o te kingi o Pap urona, a mana ratou e whakarau ki Papurona, e patu ki te hoari.
For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall see [it]; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall smite them with the sword.
5 Ka hoatu ano e ahau nga rawa katoa o tenei pa, me ana mea katoa i hua mai, me ana mea utu nui katoa, ae ra, me nga taonga katoa o nga kingi o Hura, ka hoatu e ahau ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri, a ka pahuatia e ratou, ka tangohia, ka maua hoki ki Papurona.
And, I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah, will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 Na, ko koe, e Pahuru, koutou ko nga tangata katoa e noho ana i tou whare, ka riro koutou ki te whakarau: a ka tae koe ki Papurona, mate atu ki reira, tanumia atu ki reira, a koe me ou hoa aroha katoa, i poropiti teka atu na koe ki a ratou.
And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there thou shalt be buried, thou and all thy friends to whom thou hast prophesied falsehood.
7 E Ihowa, nau ahau i hangarau, a raru ana ahau: he kaha rawa koe i ahau, a kua taea tau: kua waiho ahau hei whakakatanga i te ra katoa, kei te whakatoia ahau e te katoa.
Jehovah, thou hast enticed me, and I was enticed; thou hast laid hold of me, and hast prevailed; I am become a derision the whole day: every one mocketh me.
8 I oku korerotanga katoa hoki, ka hamama ahau; ka karanga ahau, He mahi nanakia, he pahua: no te mea kua waiho te kupu a Ihowa hei tawainga moku, hei whakatoinga, i te ra katoa.
For as oft as I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and spoil; for the word of Jehovah is become unto me a reproach and a derision all the day.
9 A ki te ki ahau, E kore ahau e whakahua i a ia, e kore ano hoki e korero i runga i tona ingoa a muri ake nei; na ka ka i roto i toku ngakau me te mea he ahi e ngiha ana, tutaki iho ki roto ki oku whenua, a ka ruha ahau i te koromaki, a kahore e t aea e ahau te pupuri.
And I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name: but it was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones; and I became wearied with holding in, and I could not.
10 Kua rongo hoki ahau i te hahani a te tini, he whakawehi i nga taha katoa. Whakahengia, a ka whakahengia ia e matou, e ai ta oku hoa tapui katoa, te hunga e whanga ana i ahau kia tatu; tera pea ia e taea te whakawai, a ka kaha tatou ki a ia, a ka whiwhi tatou ki te utu i a ia.
For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side: Report, and we will report it. All my familiars are watching for my stumbling: Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him; and we shall take our revenge on him.
11 Otiia kei ahau a Ihowa, ano he marohirohi, he mea whakamataku: na reira ka tutuki nga waewae o oku kaitukino, e kore hoki ta ratou e taea: tera e nui to ratou whakama, he whakama mau tonu, a e kore e warewarea, no te mea kihai i mahia ta ratou i runga i te whakaaro nui.
But Jehovah is with me as a mighty terrible one; therefore my persecutors shall stumble and shall not prevail; they shall be greatly ashamed, for they have not prospered: it shall be an everlasting confusion that shall not be forgotten.
12 Otiia, e Ihowa o nga mano, e whakamatautau nei i te tangata tika, e kite nei i nga whatumanawa, i te ngakau, tukua ahau kia kite i tau utu ki a ratou; kua whakakitea nei hoki e ahau ki a koe taku totohe.
And thou, Jehovah of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
13 Waiata ki a Ihowa, whakamoemititia a Ihowa; kua whakaorangia nei hoki e ia te wairua o te rawakore i te ringa o nga kaimahi i te kino.
Sing ye unto Jehovah, praise Jehovah, for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 Kia kanga te rangi i whanau ai ahau; kaua e whakapaingia te ra i puta mai ai ahau i roto i toku whaea.
Cursed be the day wherein I was born; let not the day wherein my mother bore me be blessed!
15 Kia kanga te tangata nana i kawe te korero ki toku papa, i mea, Kua whanau he tamaiti mau, he tane; meinga ana kia nui tona koa.
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad!
16 Kia rite taua tangata ki nga pa i hurihia e Ihowa, kihai nei i ripenetatia e ia: kia rangona e ia te karanga i te ata, te hamama i te poutumarotanga;
And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear a cry in the morning, and a shouting at noonday,
17 He kore nona kihai i whakamate i ahau i te putanga mai ano i te kopu; a kia waiho ai toku whaea hei urupa moku, kia mau tonu ai te hapu o tona kopu.
because he slew me not from the womb. Or would that my mother had been my grave, and her womb always great [with me]!
18 He aha ahau i puta mai ai i te kopu, kia kite i te raruraru, i te mauiui, kia poto ano oku ra i te whakama?
Wherefore came I forth from the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed in shame?
