Heremaia 34

1 Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia na Ihowa, i a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona ratou ko tana ope katoa, ko nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua i raro i tona mana, me nga iwi katoa, i whawhai ai ki Hiruharama me ona pa katoa; i mea ia,

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people fought against Jerusalem, and against all its cities, saying,

2 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Haere, korero ki a Terekia kingi o Hura, mea atu ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau tenei pa ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, a ka tahuna e ia ki te ahi.

Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:

3 A e kore koe e mawhiti i roto i tona ringa, engari ka mau pu koe, ka tukua hoki ki tona ringa; a ka kite ou kanohi i nga kanohi o te kingi o Papurona, a ka korero ia ki a koe he mangai ki te mangai, ka tae ano hoki koe ki Papurona.

And thou shalt not escape from his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thy eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.

4 Whakarongo ano hoki ki te kupu a Ihowa, e Terekia kingi o Hura; ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa mou, E kore koe e mate i te hoari;

Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD concerning thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:

5 Engari ka mate koe i runga i te rangimarie; na, ko nga tahunga o ou matua, o nga kingi o mua, i mua atu i a koe, ka pena ano he tahunga mou; a ka tangi ratou ki a koe, ka mea, Aue, e te Ariki! naku nei hoki te kupu i korero, e ai ta Ihowa.

[But] thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings who were before thee, so shall they burn [odors] for thee; and they will lament thee, [saying], Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.

6 Katahi a Heremaia poropiti ka korero i enei kupu katoa ki a Terekia kingi o Hura i Hiruharama.

Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

7 I te mea e whawhai ana te ope o te kingi o Papurona ki Hiruharama, ki nga pa katoa o Hura i mahue, ki Rakihi, ki Ateka: ko enei anake hoki o nga pa o Hura i mahue, he pa taiepa.

When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these fortified cities remained of the cities of Judah.

8 Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia na Ihowa, i muri i te whakaritenga kawenata a Kingi Terekia ki te hunga katoa i Hiruharama, kia karangatia ki a ratou te haere noa;

[This is] the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who [were] at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;

9 Kia tukua e tera, e tera, tana pononga tane, tana pononga wahine, ki te mea he tane, he wahine ranei no nga Hiperu, kia haere noa atu; kia kaua tetahi e whakamahi i a ratou, ara i tona teina, i te Hurai:

That every man should liberate his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, [being] a Hebrew or a Hebrewess; that none should retain them in service, [to wit], a Jew his brother.

10 A ka rongo nga rangatira katoa ratou ko te iwi katoa i uru nei ki te kawenata, kia tukua e tera, e tera, tana pononga tane, tana pononga wahine, kia haere noa atu, kia kaua e whakamahia ratou i muri atu; na rongo tonu ratou, a tukua atu ana e ra tou.

Now when all the princes, and all the people who had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should liberate his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, that none should retain them in service any more, then they obeyed, and let [them] go.

11 Engari i muri iho ka tahuri ano ratou, a meinga ana e ratou kia hoki mai nga pononga tane, me nga pononga wahine i tukua ra e ratou kia haere noa atu, whakataurekarekatia iho ratou hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine:

But afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had liberated, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

12 Na reira ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia, he mea na Ihowa; i ki ia,

Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

13 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, I whakaritea e ahau he kawenata ki o koutou matua i te ra i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga; i mea ahau,

Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth from the land of Egypt, out of the house of bond-men, saying,

14 I te mutunga o nga tau e whitu me tuku e koutou tona tuakana, tona teina, ki te mea he Hiperu i hokona ki a koe, a kua mahi ki a koe e ono nga tau, me tuku e koe kia haere noa atu i tou taha: otira kihai o koutou matua i rongo ki ahau, kihai ano o ratou taringa i anga mai.

At the end of seven years dismiss ye every man his brother a Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not to me, neither inclined their ear.

15 Na i tahuri nei koutou i tenei ra, i mahi i te mea e tika ana ki taku titiro, i te karangatanga ai he haere noa atu e tera, e tera, ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa; a i whakaritea e koutou he kawenata ki toku aroaro i roto i te whare kua huaina nei tok u ingoa ki reira:

And ye had now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:

16 Otiia tahuri ana koutou, whakapokea ana e koutou toku ingoa, whakahokia ana e koutou tana pononga tane, tana pononga wahine i tukua ra e koutou kia haere noa atu ki ta ratou i pai ai, whakataurekarekatia iho ratou e koutou hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine ma koutou.

But ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.

17 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; Kihai koutou i rongo ki ahau, ki te karanga i te haere noa atu ki tona teina, ki tona tuakana, ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa: nana, maku e karanga ki a koutou he haere noa atu, e aita Ihowa, ma te hoari, ma te mate uruta, ma te matekai; a ka meinga koutou e ahau kia poipoia haeretia i waenganui i nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua.

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

18 Ka hoatu hoki e ahau nga tangata i whakataka nei i taku kawenata, a kihai i whakamana i nga kupu o te kawenata i whakaritea e ratou i toku aroaro, i a ratou i tapahi ai i te kuao kau kia rua, a haere ana i waenganui i ona wahi;

And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in two, and passed between the parts of it,

19 Nga rangatira o Hura, nga rangatira hoki o Hiruharama, nga unaka, nga tohunga, me te iwi katoa o te whenua i haere nei i waenganui o nga wahi o te kuao kau;

The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf;

20 Ka tino hoatu ratou e ahau ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri, ki te ringa hoki o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea ratou: a hei kai o ratou tinana ma te manu o te rangi, ma te kararehe o te whenua.

I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for food to the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.

21 Ka hoatu ano e ahau a Terekia kingi o Hura ratou ko ana rangatira, ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri, ki te ringa hoki o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea ratou, ki te ringa ano o te ope o te kingi o Papurona i haere atu nei i a koutou.

And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes I will give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.

22 Nana, maku e whakahau, e ai ta Ihowa, a ka meinga ratou kia hoki mai ki tenei pa; a ka whawhai ratou ki reira, ka horo hoki i a ratou, a ka tahuna ki te ahi: a ka meinga e ahau nga pa o Hura kia ururuatia, te ai he tangata hei noho.

Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
