Heremaia 25
1 Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia mo te iwi katoa o Hura i te wha o nga tau o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura; ko te tau tuatahi tera o Nepukareha kingi o Papurona;
The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah—it [is] the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—
2 I korerotia taua mea e Heremaia, e te poropiti, ki te iwi katoa o Hura, ki nga tangata katoa hoki o Hiruharama; i ki ia,
Which Jeremiah the prophet has spoken concerning all the people of Judah, even to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
3 No te tekau ma toru o nga tau o Hohia tama a Amono kingi o Hura, a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, ka rua tekau ma toru enei nga tau, te putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, me taku korero ano ki a koutou, moata ai i te ata a ka korero; heoi kihai kou tou i rongo.
“From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and to this day—this twenty-third year—the word of YHWH has been to me, and I speak to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not listened;
4 Na kua unga e Ihowa ana pononga katoa, nga poropiti ki a koutou, moata ai i nga ata a ka unga i a ratou; heoi kihai koutou i rongo, kihai ano o koutou taringa i anga ki te whakarongo;
and YHWH has sent all His servants to you, the prophets, rising early and sending, and you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying,
5 I mea ratou, Tahuri mai koutou, e tera, e tera i tona ara kino, i te kino hoki o a koutou mahi, a e noho ki te oneone i homai e Ihowa ki a koutou ko o koutou matua, onamata a ake ake.
Please turn back, each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that YHWH has given to you and to your fathers from age to age,
6 Kaua hoki e whaia he atua ke, kaua e mahi ki a ratou, kaua e koropiko ki a ratou, kaua hoki ahau e whakapataritaria ki te mahi a o koutou ringa; a e kore koutou e he i ahau.
and you do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow yourselves to them, nor do you provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I do no evil to you;
7 Heoi kihai koutou i rongo ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa; he mea kia whakapataritaria ai ahau ki te mahi a o koutou ringa, hei he ano mo koutou.
and you have not listened to Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands for evil to you.
8 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Na kihai na koutou i rongo ki aku kupu,
Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: Because that you have not obeyed My words,
9 Nana, ka unga tangata ahau ki te tiki i nga hapu katoa o te raki, e ai ta Ihowa, a ka unga tangata ahau ki taku pononga, ki a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka kawea mai ratou ki tenei whenua, ki ona tangata hoki, a ki nga iwi katoa nei a tawhio noa; ka tino whakangaromia ratou e ahau, ka meinga hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga atu, hei ururua tuturu.
behold, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north—a declaration of YHWH—even to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for continuous ruins.
10 Ka tangohia atu hoki e ahau i a ratou te reo o te koa, te reo o te hari, te reo o te tane marena hou, te reo o te wahine marena hou, te haruru o nga kohatu mira, te marama hoki o te rama.
And I have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise of millstones, and the light of lamps.
11 A ka waiho tenei whenua katoa hei ururua, hei keteketenga; a ka mahi enei iwi ki te kingi o Papurona, e whitu tekau tau.
And all this land has been for a desolation, for an astonishment, and these nations have served the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 A ka rite nga tau e whitu tekau, ka whiua e ahau te kingi o Papurona me taua iwi, e ai ta Ihowa, mo to ratou kino, me te whenua hoki o nga Karari; ka meinga a reira e ahau kia ururua a ake ake.
And it has come to pass, at the fullness of seventy years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that nation,” a declaration of YHWH, “their iniquity, and against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for continuous desolations.
13 Ka kawea hoki e ahau ki runga ki taua whenua aku kupu katoa i korerotia e ahau mo reira, nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki tenei pukapuka, kua poropititia nei e Heremaia mo aua iwi katoa.
And I have brought in on that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this scroll, that Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations.
14 Ka whakamahia hoki ratou, ae ra, ratou e nga iwi maha, e nga kingi nunui hoki: a ka rite ki a ratou hanga, ki te mahi hoki a o ratou ringa taku utu ki a ratou.
For laid service on them—also them—have many nations and great kings, and I have given repayment to them according to their doing, and according to the work of their hands.”
15 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua, o Iharaira ki ahau, Tangohia te kapu waina o tenei riri i toku ringa, whakainumia ma nga iwi katoa ka unga nei koe e ahau ki a ratou.
For thus said YHWH, God of Israel, to me: “Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and you have caused all the nations to drink it to whom I am sending you;
16 A ka inu ratou, hurori atu, hurori mai, ka haurangi, i te hoari e unga e ahau ki waenganui i a ratou.
and they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shown themselves [to be] foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them.”
17 Katahi ahau ka tango i te kapu i te ringa o Ihowa, whakainumia ana ma nga iwi katoa i unga nei ahau e Ihowa ki a ratou:
And I take the cup out of the hand of YHWH, and cause all the nations to drink to whom YHWH sent me:
18 Ara ma Hiruharama, ma nga pa o Hura, ma ona kingi, a ma ona rangatira, kia meinga ai ratou hei ururua, hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga, hei kanga; hei penei me to tenei ra;
Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to ruin, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] this day;
19 Ma Parao kingi o Ihipa, ratou ko ana tangata, ko ana rangatira, ko tona iwi katoa;
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,
20 Ma nga iwi i whakaranua, ma nga kingi katoa o te whenua o Uhu, ma nga kingi katoa o te whenua o nga Pirihitini, ma Ahakarono, ma Kaha, ma Ekerono, ma nga morehu ano o Aharoro:
And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod,
21 Ma Eroma, ma Moapa, ma nga tama a Amona;
Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
22 Ma nga kingi katoa o Taira, ma nga kingi katoa o Hairona, ma nga kingi o te motu i tera taha o te moana;
And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Sidon, And the kings of the island that [is] beyond the sea,
23 Ma Rerana, ma Tema, ma Putu, ma te hunga katoa e tapahia ana nga tapa o o ratou makawe;
Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard],
24 Ma nga kingi katoa o Arapia, ma nga kingi katoa o te iwi i whakaranua, e noho ana i te koraha;
And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness,
25 Ma nga kingi katoa o Timiri, ma nga kingi katoa o Erama, ma nga kingi katoa o nga Meri.
And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media,
26 Ma nga kingi katoa o te raki, ma nga mea e tata ana, ma nga mea i tawhiti, ma tetahi, ma tetahi; ma nga kingitanga katoa hoki o te ao, i te mata o te oneone: a ka inu te kingi o Hehaka i muri i a ratou.
And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off to one another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And King Sheshach drinks after them.
27 Me ki ano e koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; E inu koutou, a haurangi iho, ruaki, e hinga ki raro, kaua e ara mai ano ki runga, i te hoari hoki e unga e ahau ki waenganui i a koutou.
“And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Drink, indeed drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and do not rise, Because of the sword that I am sending among you.
28 Na, ki te kore ratou e pai ki te tango i te kapu i roto i tou ringa kia inumia, katahi koe ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; Me inu rawa nei e koutou.
And it has come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of your hand to drink, That you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: You certainly drink.
29 No te mea, nana, ka timata ahau ki te whakatupu kino i te pa i huaina nei toku ingoa mo reira: a kia tukua koutou kia kahore rawa e whiua? E kore ra koutou e kore te whiua: no te mea ka karangatia e ahau he hoari ki runga ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
For behold, in the city over which My Name is called, I am beginning to bring ruin, And are you entirely acquitted? You are not acquitted, for I am proclaiming a sword, For all inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
30 Mo reira me poropiti e koe enei kupu katoa ki a ratou, mea atu ki a ratou, Ka hamama mai a Ihowa i te wahi tiketike, ka puaki mai tona reo i tona kainga tapu; ka tino nui tana hamama ki tana taiepa hipi; ka umere ia, ka pera i ta nga kaitakahi k arepe, ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua.
“And you, you prophesy all these words to them, and have said to them: YHWH roars from the high place, And gives forth His voice from His holy habitation, He surely roars for His habitation, A shout as those treading [the grapes], God answers all the inhabitants of the land,
31 Ka paku te ngangau ki te pito ra ano o te whenua; no te mea he totohe ta Ihowa ki nga iwi, ka whakawakia e ia nga kikokiko katoa; ko te hunga kino, ka tukua e ia ki te hoari, e ai ta Ihowa.
A rumbling has come to the end of the earth, For YHWH has a controversy with nations, He has executed judgment for all flesh, He has given the wicked to the sword,” A declaration of YHWH.
32 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ka puta atu he kino i tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, a ka whakatututia he tukauati nui i nga pito rawa o te whenua.
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides of the earth.
33 Na, ko nga tupapaku a Ihowa ka takoto i taua ra i tetahi pito o te whenua tae noa ki tetahi pito o te whenua: e kore hoki ratou e tangihia, e kore ano e kohikohia, e tanumia ranei; hei whakawairakau ratou ki te mata o te whenua.
And the pierced of YHWH have been in that day, From the end of the earth even to the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground.
34 Aue, e nga hepara, hamama; okeoke i roto i te pungarehu, e nga metararahi o te kahui: kua tae mai hoki nga ra mo koutou kia patupatua, a ka tukitukia koutou e ahau mongamonga noa, a ka taka koutou ano he oko i matenuitia.
Howl, you shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, you majestic of the flock, For your days have been full For slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And you have fallen as a desirable vessel.
35 A ka kore he wahi hei rerenga mo nga hepara, kahore he mawhititanga mo nga metararahi o te kahui.
And refuge has perished from the shepherds, And escape from the majestic of the flock.
36 He reo no te tangi o nga hepara, he aue no nga metararahi o te kahui! no te mea e pahuatia ana e Ihowa to ratou haerenga hipi.
A voice of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the majestic of the flock, For YHWH is spoiling their pasture.
37 A ka meinga kia nohopuku nga nohoanga hipi humarie; no te mea ka mura te riri o Ihowa.
And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.
38 Ka whakarerea e ia tona kuhunga, ka pera i te raiona; ka waiho hoki to ratou whenua hei miharotanga i te taikaha o te hoari tukino, i te muranga o tona riri.
He has forsaken His covert as a young lion, Surely their land has become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!”
