Heremaia 36
1 Na i te wha o nga tau o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura, ka puta mai tenei kupu ki a Heremaia na Ihowa; i mea ia,
And these are the words of the book which Jeremias sent from Jerusalem to the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the false prophets, even an epistle to Babylon for the captivity, and to all the people;
2 Tikina tetahi pukapuka mau, ka tuhituhi ki reira i nga kupu katoa i korerotia e ahau ki a koe mo Iharaira, mo Hura, mo nga iwi katoa hoki, o te ra ano i korero ai ahau ki a koe, o nga ra i a Hohia a tae noa ki tenei ra.
(after the departure of Jechonias the king and the queen, and the eunuchs, and every freeman, and bondman, and artificer, out of Jerusalem; )
3 Tera pea te whare o Hura e rongo ki te kino katoa e whakaaro nei ahau kia meatia ki a ratou; kia tahuri ratou, ia tangata, ia tangata, i o ratou ara kino; a tera e murua e ahau to ratou he, to ratou hara.
by the hand of Eleasan son of Saphan, and Gamarias son of Chelcias, (whom Sedekias king of Juda sent to the king of Babylon to Babylon) saying,
4 Katahi a Heremaia ka karanga ki a Paruku, tama a Neria: na ka tuhituhia e Paruku ki te pukapuka no te mangai o Heremaia, nga kupu katoa a Ihowa i korero ai ki a ia.
Thus said the Lord God of Israel concerning the captivity which I caused to be carried away from Jerusalem;
5 Na ka whakahau a Heremaia i a Paruku, ka mea, Kua tutakina ahau: e kore e ahei i ahau te haere ki te whare o Ihowa.
Build you houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruits thereof;
6 No reira haere koe, ka korero i te pukapuka i tuhituhia e koe, ko taku i korero ai, ko nga kupu a Ihowa, ki nga taringa o te iwi i te whare o Ihowa i te ra nohopuku: me korero ano e koe ki nga taringa o Hura katoa e haere mai ana i o ratou pa.
and take you wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and be multiplied, and be not diminished.
7 Tera pea ka takoto ta ratou inoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka hoki ratou i tona ara kino, i tona ara kino: he nui hoki te riri, he nui te weriweri i korerotia e Ihowa mo tenei iwi.
And seek the peace of the land into which I have carried you captive, and you shall pray to the Lord for the people: for in its peace you shall [have] peace.
8 Na meatia ana e Paruku tama a Neria nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai ia e Heremaia poropiti, korerotia ana e ia i roto i te pukapuka nga kupu a Ihowa i te whare o Ihowa.
For thus says the Lord; Let not the false prophets that are among you persuade you, and let not your diviners persuade you, and listen not to your dreams which you dream.
9 Na i te rima o nga tau o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura, i te iwa o nga marama, ka karangatia e ratou he nohopuku ki te aroaro o Ihowa mo te iwi katoa i Hiruharama, mo te iwi katoa hoki i haere mai i nga pa o Hura ki Hiruharama.
For they prophesy to you unrighteous [words] in my name; and I sent them not.
10 Katahi ka korerotia e Paruku i roto i te pukapuka nga kupu a Heremaia i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i te ruma o te kaituhituhi, o Kemaria tama a Hapana, i te marae o runga, i te kuwaha o te keti hou o te whare o Ihowa, me te whakarongo ano te iwi k atoa.
For thus said the Lord; When seventy years shall be on the point of being accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and will confirm my words to you, to bring back your people to this place.
11 A, no te rongonga o Mikaia tama a Kemaria, tama a Hapana, ki nga kupu katoa a Ihowa i roto i te pukapuka,
And I will devise for you a device of peace, and not evil, to bestow upon you these [good things].
12 Ka haere ia ki raro, ki te whare o te kingi, ki te ruma o te kaituhituhi, na, i reira nga rangatira katoa e noho ana, a Erihama kaituhituhi, ratou ko Teraia tama a Hemaia, ko Erenatana tama a Akaporo, ko Kemaria tama a Hapana, ko Terekia tama a Hanania, ko nga rangatira katoa ano hoki.
And do you pray to me, and I will listen to you: and do you earnestly seek me, and you shall find me;
13 Katahi a Mikaia ka whakaatu ki a ratou i nga kupu katoa i rongo ai ia, i te korerotanga a Paruku i te pukapuka ki nga taringa o te iwi.
for you shall seek me with your whole heart.
14 Na reira ka unga atu e nga rangatira katoa a Iehuri, tama a Netania, tama a Heremia, tama a Kuhi, ki a Paruku, hei ki atu, Mauria mai e koe i tou ringa te pukapuka i korerotia na e koe ki nga taringa o te iwi, a ka haere mai. Na mauria ana e Par uku tama a Neria te pukapuka i tona ringa, a haere ana ki a ratou.
And I will appear to you:
15 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Tena, e noho, korerotia hoki ki o matou taringa. Heoi korerotia ana e Paruku ki o ratou taringa.
whereas you said, The Lord has appointed for us prophets in Babylon:
16 Na, i to ratou rongonga ki nga kupu katoa, ka wehi ratou, ka tahuri tetahi ki tetahi, a ka mea atu ki a Paruku, Ka korerotia marietia e matou enei kupu katoa ki te kingi.
17 A ka ui ratou ki a Paruku, ka mea, Tena koa, whakaaturia mai ki a matou, I pehea tau tuhituhi i enei kupu katoa a tona mangai?
18 Ano ra ko Paruku ki a ratou, Na tona mangai enei kupu katoa i korero ki ahau, a tuhituhia iho e ahau ki te mangumangu ki te pukapuka.
19 Katahi nga rangatira ka mea ki a Paruku, Haere, e huna i a koe, korua ko Heremaia, kaua hoki tetahi e mohio kei hea korua.
20 Na haere ana ratou ki te kingi ki te marae; otiia i waiho e ratou te pukapuka i te ruma o Erihama kaituhituhi; a korerotia ana e ratou nga kupu katoa ki nga taringa o te kingi.
21 Heoi ka unga e te kingi a Iehuri ki te tiki i te pukapuka. Na tikina ana e ia i te ruma o Erihama kaituhituhi; a korerotia ana e Iehuri ki nga taringa o te kingi, ki nga taringa hoki o nga rangatira katoa e tu ana i te taha o te kingi.
Thus says the Lord concerning Achiab, and concerning Sedekias; Behold, I [will] deliver them into the hands of the king of Babylon; and he shall strike them in your sight.
22 Na, i te noho te kingi i te whare hotoke i te iwa o nga marama: a he ahi i te kanga ahi e ka ana i tona aroaro.
And they shall make of them a curse in all the captivity of Juda in Babylon, saying, The Lord do to you as he did to Sedekias, and as he did to Achiab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire;
23 Na, ka toru, ka wha nga wharangi i korerotia e Iehuri, ka tapahia e te kingi ki te maripi a te kaituhituhi, maka atu ana ki te ahi i te kanga ahi, a pau noa te pukapuka katoa i te ahi i roto i te kanga ahi.
because of the iniquity which they wrought in Israel, and [because] they committed adultery with the wives of their fellow-citizens; and spoke a word in my name, which I did not command them [to speak], and I am witness, says the Lord.
24 Na kahore ratou i wehi, kahore hoki i haehae i o ratou kakahu, te kingi ranei, tetahi ranei o ana pononga i rongo i enei kupu katoa.
And to Samaeas the Aelamite you shall say,
25 Na tera a Eranatana ratou ko Teraia, ko Kemaria, kua tohe ki te kingi kia kaua e tahuna te pukapuka: otiia kihai ia i rongo ki a ratou.
I sent you not in my name: and to Sophonias the priest the son of Maasaeas say you,
26 Na ka whakahaua e te kingi a Ierameere tama a te kingi, ratou ko Heraia tama a Atariere, ko Heremia tama a Apareere kite hopu i a Paruku kaituhituhi, raua ko Heremaia poropiti; otira i huna raua e Ihowa.
The Lord has made you priest in the place of Jodae the priest, to be ruler in the house of the Lord over every prophet, and to every madman, and you shall put them in prison, and into the dungeon.
27 Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia, i muri i te tahunga a te kingi i te pukapuka, i nga kupu hoki i tuhituhia ra e Paruku i te mangai o Heremaia; i mea ia,
And now therefore have you reviled together Jeremias of Anathoth, who prophesied to you?
28 Tikina ano tetahi atu pukapuka, tuhituhia ki reira nga kupu katoa o mua ra, o te pukapuka tuatahi i tahuna ra e Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura.
Did he not send for this purpose? for in the course of this month he sent to you to Babylon, saying, It is far off: build you houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
29 Na, ko te kupu mau mo Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: I tahuna e koe te pukapuka nei, i ki koe, He aha i tuhituhia ai e koe ki konei, i ki ai, Ka tino haere mai te kingi o Papurona, ka whakangaro i tenei whenua, ka moti ano i a ia te tangata me te kararehe o konei?
And Sophonias read the book in the ears of Jeremias.
30 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa mo Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura; E kore ia e whai tangata hei noho ki te torona o Rawiri: a ka maka atu tona tinana ki te werawera i te awatea, ki te huka i te po.
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,
31 Ka whiua hoki ia e ahau, ratou ko ona uri, ko ana tangata mo to ratou he; a ka kawea mai e ahau ki a ratou, ki nga tangata o Hiruharama, ki nga tangata hoki o Hura, te kino katoa i korerotia e ahau mo ratou, a kihai nei ratou i whakarongo.
Send to the captivity, saying, Thus says the Lord concerning Samaeas the Aelamite, Since Samaeas has prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he has made you to trust in iniquity,
32 Na ka tangohia e Heremaia tetahi atu pukapuka, a hoatu ana e ia ki te kaituhituhi, ki a Paruku tama a Neria; nana i tuhituhi ki reira no te mangai o Heremaia nga kupu katoa o te pukapuka i tahuna ra e Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura ki te ahi: a tapirit ia atu ana ki era etahi atu kupu maha pera.
therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I will visit Samaeas, and his family: and there shall not be a man of them in the midst of you to see the good which I will do to you: they shall not see [it].
