Heremaia 30
1 Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia, he mea na Ihowa; i mea ia,
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, e mea ana, Tuhituhia ki te pukapuka nga kupu katoa i korerotia e ahau ki a koe.
“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
3 Tenei ake hoki nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e whakahokia mai ai e ahau taku iwi, a Iharaira raua ko Hura, i te whakarau, e ai ta Ihowa: a ka whakahokia mai ratou e ahau ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki o ratou matua, a ka riro a reira i a ratou.
For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity My people Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
4 A ko nga kupu enei i korerotia e Ihowa mo Iharaira raua ko Hura,
These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah.
5 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa: Kua rongo tatou i te reo o te tuiri, o te wehi, ehara i te rongo mau.
Yes, this is what the LORD says: “A cry of panic is heard— a cry of terror, not of peace.
6 Tena ra, ui atu, kia kite ai koutou, he whanau tamariki ranei ta te tane: He aha ahau i kite ai i nga tangata katoa ko o ratou ringa kei o ratou hope, koia ano kei te wahine e whanau ana, kua puta ke ano nga kanohi katoa, kua koma?
Ask now, and see: Can a male give birth? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale?
7 Aue! he ra nui hoki taua ra, kahore he rite mona: ko te wa hoki ia o to Hakopa mamae; otiia ka whakaorangia ia i taua mamae.
How awful that day will be! None will be like it! It is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will be saved out of it.
8 Na i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka wahia e ahau tana ioka i tou kaki, ka motuhia hoki ou here; e kore hoki ia e whakamahia e nga tangata ke i muri iho:
On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will break the yoke off their necks and tear off their bonds, and no longer will strangers enslave them.
9 Engari ka mahi ratou ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua, ki a Rawiri hoki, ki to ratou kingi e whakaarahia ake e ahau mo ratou.
Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 Na reira kaua e wehi, e taku pononga, e Hakopa, e ai ta Ihowa, kaua hoki e pawera, e Iharaira: nana, ka whakaora hoki ahau i a koe i tawhiti, i ou uri ano i te whenua i whakaraua atu ai ratou; a ka hoki mai a Hakopa, ka ata noho, ka whai tanga m anawa, te ai he kaiwhakawehi mona.
As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid.
11 No te mea hei hoa ahau mou, e ai ta Ihowa, hei whakaora i a koe: ka poto rawa hoki i ahau nga iwi katoa kua whakamararatia atu na koe ki reira, otiia e kore koe e poto rawa i ahau; engari ka pakia koe e ahau, he mea whakarite marie atu, e kore a no hoki koe e tukua kia kahore rawa e whiua.
For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”
12 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Ko tou pakaru e kore e mahu, he mamae rawa tou marutanga.
For this is what the LORD says: “Your injury is incurable; your wound is grievous.
13 Kahore he tangata hei tohe i tau, kia takaia ai koe: kahore ou rongoa whakamahu.
There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sores, no recovery for you.
14 Ko te hunga katoa i aroha ki a koe kua wareware ki a koe; kahore ratou e rapu i a koe; no te mea i patua koe e ahau ki te patu a te hoariri, ki te whiu hoki a te tangata nanakia; he nui hoki no tou kino, he maha no ou hara.
All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins.
15 He aha koe i tangi ai ki tou pakaru? e kore tou mamae e taea te rongoa: mo te nui hoki o tou kino, he maha no ou hara, i meinga ai e ahau enei mea ki a koe.
Why do you cry out over your wound? Your pain has no cure! Because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins I have done these things to you.
16 Na reira ko te hunga katoa e kai ana i a koe, ka kainga ratou; ko ou hoariri katoa, ko ratou katoa, ka riro ki te whakarau; ko te hunga e pahua ana i a koe ka pahuatia ratou, a ka tukua e ahau hei taonga parau te hunga katoa e muru ana i a koe.
Nevertheless, all who devour you will be devoured, and all your adversaries—every one of them— will go off into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who raided you will be raided.
17 Ka whakahokia atu hoki e ahau te ora ki a koe, ka rongoatia e ahau ou marutanga, e ai ta Ihowa; no te mea kua kiia koe e ratou, he peinga, kua mea, Ko Hiona tenei e kore nei e rapua e te tangata.
But I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD, because they call you an outcast, Zion, for whom no one cares.”
18 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Nana, ka whakahokia mai e ahau i te whakarau nga teneti o Hakopa, ka aroha ki ona nohoanga; a ka hanga te pa ki runga ki tona puranga ano, ka whakapumautia ano nga tikanga o te whare kingi.
This is what the LORD says: “I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings. And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place.
19 Ka puta mai ano i reira te whakamoemiti, me te reo o te hunga e kata ana: a ka whakanuia ratou e ahau, e kore ratou e torutoru: ka whakakororiatia hoki ratou e ahau, a e kore ratou e iti.
Thanksgiving will proceed from them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased; I will honor them, and they will not be belittled.
20 A ka rite a ratou tamariki ki o mua; ka whakapumautia hoki to ratou whakaminenga ki toku aroaro, a ka whiua e ahau te hunga katoa e tukino ana i a ratou.
Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before Me; and I will punish all their oppressors.
21 A ko to ratou metararahi ko tetahi ano o ratou, ka puta ake hoki to ratou kawana i roto i a ratou; a ka meinga ia e ahau kia whakatata mai, a ka haere mai ia ki ahau: ko wai oti tenei kua toa nei ki te haere mai ki ahau? e ai ta Ihowa.
Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?”
22 A hei iwi koutou maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo koutou.
“And you will be My people, and I will be your God.”
23 Nana, ko te tukauati a Ihowa, ara ko tona riri mura tonu, te paoho atu na, he tukauati e tahi ana: tera e aki ki runga ki te mahunga o te hunga kino.
Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.
24 E kore e tahuri atu te riri kino o Ihowa, kia oti ra ano i a ia, kia whakapumautia ra ano e ia nga whakaaro o tona ngakau: i nga ra whakamutunga ka matau koutou.
The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this.
