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,
Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut within the courtyard of the guard, 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;
“Yahweh the maker, says this—Yahweh, who forms in order to establish—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 to me, and I will answer you. I will demonstrate great things to you, mysteries that you do not understand.'
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 Yahweh, God of Israel, says this concerning the houses in this city and the houses of the kings of Judah that are torn down because of the siege ramps and 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.
'The Chaldeans are coming to fight and to fill the houses with corpses of people whom I will kill in my wrath and fury, when I hide my face from this city because 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.
But see, I am about to bring healing and a cure, for I will heal them and will bring to them abundance, peace, and faithfulness.
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.
For I will bring back the fortunes of Judah and Israel; I will build them up as in the beginning.
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.
Then I will purify them from all the iniquity that they have committed against me. I will pardon all the iniquities that they have done against me, and all the ways that they rebelled 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.
For this city will become for me an object of joy, a song of praise and honor for all the nations of the earth who will hear of all the good things that I am going to do for it. Then they will fear and tremble because of all the good things and the peace that I will give to it.'
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,
Yahweh says this, 'In this place about which you are now saying, “It is desolate, a place with neither man nor beast,” in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate having neither man nor beast, there will be heard again
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 sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound of the bride, the sound of those who say, while they bring thank offerings to the house of Yahweh, “Give thanks to Yahweh of hosts, for Yahweh is good, and his unfailing love lasts forever!” For I will restore the fortunes of the land to what they were before,' says 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.
Yahweh of hosts says this: 'In this desolate place, where now there is neither man nor beast—in all its cities there will again be pastures where shepherds can rest their flocks.
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 in the hill country, the lowlands, and the Negev, in the land of Benjamin and all around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of the ones counting them,' says 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.
'Look! Days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will do what I have promised for the house of Israel and 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 in that time I will make a righteous branch to grow for David, and he will carry out 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 will be saved, and Jerusalem will live in security, for this is what she will be called, “Yahweh is 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 Yahweh says this: 'A man from David's line will never be lacking to sit on 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 will a man from the Levitical priests be lacking before me to raise burnt offerings, to burn food offerings, and to perform grain offerings all the time.'”
19 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia; i ki ia,
The word of Yahweh came to 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;
“Yahweh says this: 'If you can break my covenant with day and night so that there will no longer be day or night at their proper times,
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.
then you will be able to break my covenant with David my servant, so that he will no longer have a son to sit on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests, my servants.
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 hosts of heaven cannot be counted, and as the sand of the seashores cannot be measured, so I will increase the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who serve before me.'”
23 A ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia; i mea ia,
The word of Yahweh came to 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.
“Have you not considered what this people has declared when they said, 'The two families that Yahweh chose, now he has rejected them'? In this way they despise my people, saying that they are no longer 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;
I, Yahweh, say this, 'If I have not established the covenant of day and night, and if I have not fixed the laws of heaven and earth,
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.
then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant, and not bring from them a person to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and show mercy to them.'”
