< Heremaia 30 >
1 Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia, he mea na Ihowa; i mea ia,
The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
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.
"Thus speaks YHWH, the God of Israel, saying, 'Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a scroll.
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, look, the days come, says YHWH, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,' says YHWH; 'and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'"
4 A ko nga kupu enei i korerotia e Ihowa mo Iharaira raua ko Hura,
These are the words that YHWH spoke concerning Israel and concerning 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.
For thus says YHWH: "We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and 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 whether a man does travail with child: why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
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.
Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it. It is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall 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:
It shall come to pass in that day," says YHWH of hosts, "that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds; and strangers shall no more make him their bondservant;
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.
but they shall serve YHWH their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to 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.
Therefore do not be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says YHWH; neither be dismayed, Israel: for, look, I will save you from afar, and your descendants from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall 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, says YHWH, to save you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished."
12 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Ko tou pakaru e kore e mahu, he mamae rawa tou marutanga.
For thus says YHWH, "Your hurt is incurable, and your wound grievous.
13 Kahore he tangata hei tohe i tau, kia takaia ai koe: kahore ou rongoa whakamahu.
There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.
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 do not seek you: for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.
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 for your hurt? Your pain is incurable: for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased, 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.
Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, everyone of them, shall go into captivity; and those who plunder you shall be plundered, and all who prey on you I will make a prey.
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.
For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds," says YHWH; "because they have called you an outcast, saying, 'It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.'"
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.
Thus says YHWH: "Look, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built on its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited in its own way.
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.
Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
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 also shall be as before, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all who oppress them.
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 prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from their midst; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says YHWH.
22 A hei iwi koutou maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo koutou.
You shall 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.
Look, the storm of YHWH, his wrath, has gone forth, a sweeping storm: it shall burst on the head 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 YHWH will not return, until he has executed, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.
