Heremaia 33
1 Na ko te rua o nga putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia, i a ia ano e tutaki ana ki te marae o te whare herehere; i ki ia,
And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, the second time, when he was yet imprisoned in the guard-court, saying:
2 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa nana nei tenei i mahi, a Ihowa nana nei i whakaahua, i pumau ai; ko Ihowa tona ingoa;
Thus, saith Yahweh, who doeth it, —Yahweh, who fashioneth it to establish it, Yahweh, is his name:
3 Karanga ki ahau, a ka whakahoki kupu ahau ki a koe, ka whakakitea hoki e ahau ki a koe nga mea nunui, nga mea pakeke, he mea kihai i mohiotia e koe.
Call unto me that I may answer thee, —and tell thee things great and inaccessible, which thou hast not known.
4 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, mo nga whare o tenei pa, mo nga whare hoki o nga kingi o Hura, ka oti nei te wahi iho hei arai atu i nga puke, i te hoari;
For, Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, —which are thrown down against the earthworks and against the sword:
5 E haere mai ana ratou ki te whawhai ki nga Karari, engari ia ki te whakaki i aua wahi ki nga tinana o nga tangata i patua e ahau i toku riri, i toku weriweri, o te hunga no ratou nga kino katoa i huna ai e ahau toku mata ki tenei pa.
In entering to fight with the Chaldeans, it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have smitten in mine anger and in mine indignation, —and because of whom I have hidden my face from this city, —by reason of all their wickedness.
6 Nana, ka kawea mai e ahau he ora, he rongoa ki tenei pa, a ka rongoatia ratou e ahau; a ka whakakitea e ahau ki a ratou te nui o te rangimarie me te pono.
Behold me! laying upon her a bandage of healing, so will I heal them, —And will reveal to them abundance of prosperity and truth;
7 Ka whakahokia mai ano e ahau a Hura i te whakarau, a Iharaira hoki i te whakarau, a ka hanga ratou e ahau, koia ano kei to te timatanga.
And I will bring back Them of the captivity of Judah, and Them of the captivity of Israel, —And I will build them, as at the first;
8 Ka purea ano e ahau to ratou kino katoa i hara ai ratou ki ahau; a ka murua e ahau o ratou kino katoa i hara ai ratou ki ahau, i poka ke ai ta ratou mahi ki ahau.
And I will purify them, from all their iniquity wherewith they have sinned against me, —And I will grant pardon for all their iniquities Wherewith they have sinned against me, and Wherewith they have transgressed against me;
9 A ka waiho tenei pa hei ingoa koa ki ahau, hei whakamoemiti, hei kororia, i te aroaro o nga iwi katoa o te whenua, ka rongo nei ratou ki nga pai katoa e meatia e ahau ki a ratou, a ka wehi ratou, ka wiri i te pai katoa, i te rangimarie katoa, e m eatia e ahau ki konei.
So shall she become to me—A name of joy, A praise and An adorning, To all the nations of the earth, —Who will hear all the good which I am doing them, And will dread and be deeply moved over all the good and over all the prosperity which I am causing her.
10 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tera ano ka rangona ki tenei wahi, e ki nei koutou mo reira, He ururua, kahore he tangata, kahore he kararehe, ara ki nga pa o Hura, ki nga ara o Hiruharama e mokemoke nei, te ai he tangata, te ai he kainoho, te ai he k ararehe,
Thus, saith Yahweh—Again, shall be heard in this place, as to which ye are saying, Deserted, it is without man or beast, In the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, Which are desolate without man or inhabitant or beast
11 Te reo o te koa, te reo o te hari, te reo o te tane marena hou me te reo o te wahine marena hou, te reo hoki o te hunga e ki ana, Whakawhetai ki a Ihowa o nga mano, he pai hoki a Ihowa, he mau tonu ano tana mahi tohu: o te hunga hoki e kawe mai ana i nga whakahere whakawhetai ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa. No te mea ka whakahokia mai ano e ahau te whenua i te whakarau, ka rite ano ki to te timatanga, e ai ta Ihowa.
The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, The voice of them who are saying, Praise ye Yahweh of hosts, For good is Yahweh For age-abiding is his lovingkindness, The voice of them who are bringing a thank-offering into the house of Yahweh, —For I will bring back the captives of the land, as at the first, Saith Yahweh.
12 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Tera ano te wahi e ururua nei, kahore nei he tangata, kahore he kararehe, me ona pa katoa, ka nohoia ano e nga hepara, e mea ana i a ratou hipi kia takoto.
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Again, shall there be in this place—Which is deserted without man or even beast—And all the cities thereof, —The home of shepherds, causing flocks to lie down.
13 I nga pa o te whenua pukepuke, i nga pa o te mania, i nga pa o te tonga, i te whenua o Pineamine, i nga taha o Hiruharama, i nga pa hoki o Hura, ka haere atu nga hipi i raro i nga ringa o te kaitatau, e ai ta Ihowa.
In the cities of the hill country, In the cities of the lowland, and In the cities of the South, and In the land of Benjamin, and In the places round about Jerusalem, and In the cities of Judah, Again shall the flock pass over the hands of the numberer, Saith Yahweh.
14 Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e whakamana ai e ahau te kupu pai i korerotia ra e ahau mo te whare o Iharaira, mo te whare hoki o Hura.
Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, —when I will establish my good word, which I have spoken—As to the house of Israel And concerning the house of Judah:
15 I aua ra, a i taua wa, ka meinga e ahau tetahi Manga o te tika kia tupu ake mo Rawiri; a ka mahia e ia te whakawa me te tika ki te whenua.
In those days and at that time, will I cause to bud unto David A Bud of righteousness, —And he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land:
16 I aua ra ka whakaorangia a Hura, ka moho humarie hoki a Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa tenei e huaina mona, Ko Ihowa to tatou tika.
In those days, Judah shall be saved, and, Jerusalem abide, securely, —And, this, is that which shall be proclaimed to her—Yahweh, our righteousness!
17 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, E kore e whakakorea he tangata mo Rawiri hei noho ki te torona o te whare o Iharaira;
For, Thus, saith Yahweh, —There shall not be wanting to David—A man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 E kore ano e whakakorea atu he tangata mo nga tohunga, mo nga Riwaiti i toku aroaro, hei whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana, hei tahu i nga whakahere, hei mahi i te patunga tapu i nga ra katoa.
Nor to the priests the Levites, shall there be wanting—A man, before me, To offer an ascending-sacrifice, or To make a perfume with a gift, or To offer a [peace-] offering, all the days!
19 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia; i ki ia,
And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah saying:
20 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ki te taea e koutou te whakataka taku kawenata o te awatea, me taku kawenata o te po, kia kore ai he ao, he po, i o raua wa e tika ai;
Thus, saith Yahweh, If ye can break, My covenant of the day, and My covenant of the night, That there be not day and night in their season,
21 Katahi ka taka taku kawenata ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, e kore ai he tama mana, hei kingi ki tona torona; me taku hoki ki aku minita, ki nga Riwaiti, ki nga tohunga.
My covenant also, may be broken With David my servant, that he shall not have a son, to reign upon his throne, —And with the Levites the priests, mine attendants:
22 E kore nei te ope o te rangi e taea te tatau, e kore ano te onepu o te moana e taea te mehua, ka pena ano taku whakanui i nga uri o taku pononga, o Rawiri, i nga Riwaiti hoki e minita nei ki ahau.
As, the host of the heavens, cannot be recorded, Nor the sand of the sea, be measured, So, will I multiply, The seed of David my servant, And the Levites who attend upon me.
23 A ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia; i mea ia,
And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, saying:
24 Kahore ranei koe e mahara ki ta tenei iwi i korero ai, i mea ai, Ko nga hapu e rua i whiriwhiria ra e Ihowa, kua paopaongia e ia? Ko ta ratou whakahawea tena ki taku iwi, kia kaua ratou e kiia ano he iwi i to ratou aroaro.
Hast thou not observed what, this people, have spoken saying, The two families which Yahweh did choose, he hath even cast them off? And so, my people, they despise, as though they could not again become a nation in their sight!
25 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ki te kahore e tu taku kawenata o te ao, o te po, a ehara nga tikanga o te rangi, o te whenua, i te mea whakatakoto naku;
Thus, saith Yahweh, If my covenant of day and night, the ordinances of the heavens and the earth, I did not appoint,
26 Katahi ka paopaongia e ahau nga uri o Hakopa raua ko taku pononga, ko Rawiri, e kore ai e tangohia tetahi o ona uri hei kaiwhakahaere tikanga mo nga uri o Aperahama, o Ihaka, o Hakopa: no te mea ka whakahokia mai ratou e ahau i te whakarau, ka t ohungia hoki ratou e ahau.
The seed of Jacob also and of David my servant, might I cast off so as not to take of his seed as rulers unto the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, —For I will bring back them of their captivity, and will have compassion upon them.
