Heremaia 26

1 I te timatanga o te kingitanga o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura, ka puta mai tenei kupu i a Ihowa; i mea ia,

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word from the LORD, saying,

2 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; E tu ki te marae o te whare o Ihowa, korerotia hoki ki nga pa katoa o Hura e haere mai ana ki te koropiko i roto i te whare o Ihowa, nga kupu katoa e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe kia korerotia ki a ratou; kaua tetahi kupu e kaiponuhia:

"Thus says the LORD: Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command you to speak to them; do not diminish a word.

3 Tera pea ka rongo ratou, a ka tahuri ia tangata, ia tangata, i o ratou ara kino; kia puta ke ai toku whakaaro mo te kino, e mea nei ahau kia meatia ki a ratou mo te kino o a ratou mahi.

It may be they will listen, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may relent of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.

4 A ka ki atu koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ki te kahore koutou e rongo ki ahau, ka haere i runga i taku ture kua hoatu nei e ahau ki to koutou aroaro,

You shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

5 E rongo ki nga kupu a aku pononga, a nga poropiti e unga nei e ahau ki a koutou, maranga wawe ai i te ata a ka unga i a ratou, otiia kihai koutou i rongo;

to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but you have not listened;

6 Na ka meinga e ahau tenei whare kia rite ki Hiro, ka meinga hoki tenei pa hei kanga ma nga iwi katoa o te whenua.

then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.'"

7 A ka rongo nga tohunga, nga poropiti, me te iwi katoa i a Heremaia, e korero ana i enei kupu i te whare o Ihowa.

The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

8 Na, i te mutunga o te korero a Heremaia i nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai ia e Ihowa kei korerotia ki te iwi katoa, ka hopukia ia e nga tohunga, e nga poropiti, e te iwi katoa hoki, me te ki, Ko te mate kau mou.

It happened, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, "You shall surely die.

9 He aha koe i poropiti ai i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, i ki ai, Ka rite tenei whare ki Hiro, ka ururuatia tenei pa, te ai he tangata hei noho? Na, i te huihui te iwi katoa ki a Heremaia, ki te whare o Ihowa.

Why have you prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, 'This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant?'" All the people were gathered to Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

10 A, no te rongonga o nga rangatira o Hura ki enei mea, ka haere atu ratou i te whare o te kingi ki te whare o Ihowa, a noho ana i te kuwaha o te keti hou o te whare o Ihowa.

When the officials of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king's house to the house of the LORD; and they sat in the entry of the New Gate of the LORD's house.

11 Katahi ka korero nga tohunga ratou ko nga poropiti ki nga rangatira, ki te iwi katoa hoki, ka mea, Ka tika te mate mo tenei tangata; kua poropiti hoki ia i te he mo tenei pa; kua rongo na hoki o koutou taringa.

Then spoke the priests and the prophets to the officials and to all the people, saying, "This man is worthy of death; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears."

12 Katahi a Heremaia ka korero ki nga rangatira katoa, ki te iwi katoa, ka mea, Na Ihowa ahau i unga mai ki te poropiti mo tenei whare, mo tenei pa, i nga kupu katoa i rongo na koutou.

Then Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and to all the people, saying, "The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

13 Na reira whakatikatikaia o koutou ara, a koutou mahi, whakarongo hoki ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua; a ka ripeneta a Ihowa ki te kino i korerotia e ia mo koutou.

Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will relent of the disaster that he has pronounced against you.

14 Tena ko ahau, kei roto ahau i to koutou ringa: ma koutou e mea ki ahau te mea e pai ana, e rite ana ki ta koutou titiro.

But as for me, look, I am in your hands; do with me as is good and right in your eyes.

15 Otiia kia tino mohio koutou, ki te whakamatea ahau e koutou, e kawe ana koutou i te toto harakore ki runga i a koutou ano, ki runga ki tenei pa, ki ona tangata ano hoki: no te mea he pono, na Ihowa ahau i ngare atu ki a koutou ki te korero i ene i kupu katoa ki o koutou taringa.

Only know for certain that, if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for of a truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears."

16 Katahi nga rangatira ratou ko te iwi katoa ka ki atu ki nga tohunga ratou ko nga poropiti, Kahore he take e mate ai tenei tangata; kua korero mai hoki ia ki a tatou i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.

Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: "This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God."

17 Na ka whakatika etahi o nga kaumatua o te whenua, ka korero ki te huihui katoa o te iwi, ka mea,

Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

18 I poropiti a Mika Morahati i nga ra o Hetekia kingi o Hura, i korero ki te iwi katoa o Hura, i mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; Ka parautia a Hiona, ka rite ki te mara, a hei puranga a Hiruharama, ka rite hoki te maunga o te whare ki ng a wahi tiketike o te ngahere.

"Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest."'

19 I anga ranei a Hetekia kingi o Hura ratou ko Hura katoa, i mea rawa ki te whakamate i a ia? He teka ianei i wehi ia i a Ihowa, a inoi ana ki te mata o Ihowa, a ripeneta ana a Ihowa ki te kino i korerotia e ia mo ratou? Na ko tatou, ma konei tato u e mea ai i te kino nui ki o tatou nei wairua.

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the LORD, and seek the favor of the LORD, and the LORD relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls.

20 Na tera ano hoki tetahi tangata i poropiti i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, ko Uriia tama a Hemaia o Kiriata Tearimi; i poropiti ia i te he mo tenei pa, mo tenei whenua hoki, he penei ano me nga kupu katoa a Heremaia;

"There was also a man who prophesied in the name of the LORD, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

21 A, no te rongonga o Kingi Iehoiakimi ratou ko ana metararahi, ko nga rangatira katoa, i ana kupu, ka whai te kingi kia whakamatea ia; no te rongonga ia o Uriia, ka wehi, ka rere, a haere ana ki Ihipa.

And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the officials, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.

22 Na ka unga e Iehoiakimi he tangata ki Ihipa, ara a Erenatana tama a Aikaporo, ratou ko ona hoa ki Ihipa.

And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt;

23 Na tikina atu ana a Uriia e ratou i Ihipa, kawea mai ana ki a Kingi Iehoiakimi; patua iho e ia ki te hoari, maka ana e ia tona tinana ki nga tanumanga o nga tamariki a te iwi.

and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people."

24 Otiia i a Heremaia te ringa o Ahikama tama a Hapana, i kore ai ia e tukua ki te ringa o te iwi kia whakamatea.

But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
