Heremaia 38

1 A i rongo a Hepatia tama a Matana, ratou ko Keraira tama a Pahuru, ko Iukara tama a Heremia, ko Pahuru tama a Marakia, i nga kupu i korerotia e Heremaia ki te iwi katoa, i a ia i ki ra,

And he heard Shephatiah [the] son of Mattan and Gedaliah [the] son of Pashhur and Jucal [the] son of Shelemiah and Pashhur [the] son of Malkijah the words which Jeremiah [was] speaking to all the people saying.

2 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko te tangata e noho ana i tenei pa ka mate i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta: ko te tangata ia e haere atu ana ki nga Karari, ka ora; a ka waiho tona wairua hei taonga parau ki a ia, a ka ora ia.

Thus he says Yahweh the [one who] remains in the city this he will die by the sword by famine and by pestilence and the [one who] goes out to the Chaldeans (and he will live *Q(K)*) and it will belong to him life his to plunder and he will live.

3 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka tino hoatu tenei pa ki te ringa o te ope a te kingi o Papurona, a ka horo i a ia.

Thus he says Yahweh certainly it will be given the city this in [the] hand of [the] army of [the] king of Babylon and he will capture it.

4 Na ka mea atu nga rangatira ki te kingi, Me whakamate tenei tangata; ma tana penei hoki ka ngoikore ai nga ringa o nga tangata whawhai e toe ana ki te pa nei, me nga ringa o te iwi katoa, ma tana korero i enei tu kupu ki a ratou: kahore hoki tene i tangata i te rapu i te pai mo tenei iwi, engari i te kino.

And they said the officials to the king let him be put to death please the man this for since he [is] making drop [the] hands of [the] men of war who remain - in the city this and [the] hands of all the people by speaking to them according to the words these that - the man this not he [is] seeking for welfare for the people this that except for harm.

5 Na ka mea a Kingi Terekia, Nana, kei to koutou ringa ai: ehara hoki te kingi i te mea e ahei te whakahe ki ta koutou.

And he said the king Zedekiah there! he [is] in hand your for not the king he is able you anything.

6 Katahi ratou ka mau ki a Heremaia, maka ana e ratou ki te poka a Marakia tama a te kingi, ki tera i te marae o te whare herehere; a tukua ana a Heremaia e ratou ki raro, ki te taura. Na kahore he wai i roto i te poka, engari he oru: a tapoko ana a Heremaia ki te oru.

And they took Jeremiah and they threw him into the cistern of - Malkijah [the] son of the king which [was] in [the] courtyard of the guard and they let down Jeremiah with ropes and in the cistern there not [was] water that except mud and he sank Jeremiah in the mud.

7 Na, i te rongonga o Eperemereke Etiopiana, he unaka no te whare o te kingi, kua tukua a Heremaia ki te poka; e noho ana hoki te kingi i te kuwaha o Pineamine i taua wa;

And he heard Ebed Melech the Cushite a man a court-official and he [was] in [the] house of the king that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern and the king [was] sitting in [the] gate of Benjamin.

8 Katahi a Eperemereke ka haere atu i te whare o te kingi, ka korero ki te kingi, ka mea,

And he went out Ebed Melech from [the] house of the king and he spoke to the king saying.

9 E toku ariki, e te kingi, he kino nga mea kua mahia e enei tangata i a ratou katoa i mahi ai ki a Heremaia poropiti, kua maka nei e ratou ki te poka; a tera ia e mate ki te wahi kei reira nei ia i te hemokai: kahore atu hoki he taro i te pa.

O lord my the king they have done evil the men these all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet whom they have thrown into the cistern and he died in it because of famine for there not [is] the food yet in the city.

10 Katahi te kingi ka whakahau ki a Eperemereke Etiopiana, ka mea, Mauria atu etahi tangata i konei, kia toru tekau, ka tango ake i a Heremaia poropiti i roto i te poka, keiwha mate ia.

And he commanded the king Ebed Melech the Cushite saying take in hand your from here thirty men and you will bring up Jeremiah the prophet from the cistern before he will die.

11 Heoi kua mau a Eperemereke ki nga tangata hei hoa mona, a haere ana ki te whare o te kingi ki raro i te whare taonga, tangohia ana mai e ia i reira etahi karukaru tawhito me etahi tawhetawhe pirau, tukua iho ana e ia ki nga taura ki a Heremaia k i roto ki te poka.

And he took - Ebed Melech the men in hand his and he went [the] house of the king to under the storehouse and he took from there worn out things of (clothes *Q(K)*) and worn out things of rags and he let down them to Jeremiah into the cistern with ropes.

12 Katahi a Eperemereke Etiopiana ka mea iho ki a Heremaia, Tena, kahua nga karukaru tawhito nei me nga tawhetawhe pirau nei ki raro i ou peke, ki raro atu i nga taura. Na peratia ana e Heremaia.

And he said Ebed Melech the Cushite to Jeremiah put please [the] worn out things of the clothes and the rags under [the] joints of hands your from under to [the] ropes and he did Jeremiah thus.

13 Heoi ka hutia ake e ratou a Heremaia ki nga taura, whakaputaina ake ana ia i roto i te poka: a noho tonu iho a Heremaia ki te marae o te whare herehere.

And they drew out Jeremiah with ropes and they brought up him from the cistern and he remained Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard.

14 Katahi a Kingi Terekia ka unga tangata atu ki te tiki i a Heremaia poropiti ki a ia, ki te tuatoru o nga tomokanga, i te whare o Ihowa: a ka mea te kingi ki a Heremaia, Me ui e ahau tetahi mea i a koe; kaua e huna tetahi mea i ahau.

And he sent the king Zedekiah and he brought Jeremiah the prophet to him to an entrance third which [was] in [the] house of Yahweh and he said the king to Jeremiah [am] about to ask I you a matter may not you hide from me anything.

15 Ano ra ko Heremaia ki a Terekia, Ki te whakaaturia e ahau ki a koe, he teka ianei ko te whakamate kau tau moku? a ki te whakatakotoria e ahau he whakaaro ki a koe, e kore koe e whakarongo ki ahau.

And he said Jeremiah to Zedekiah if I will tell to you ¿ not certainly will you put to death me and if I will counsel you not you will listen to me.

16 Heoi ka oati puku a Kingi Terekia ki a Heremaia, ka mea, E ora ana a Ihowa, nana nei tenei wairua i hanga mo tatou, e kore ahau e whakamate i a koe, e kore ano koe e tukua e ahau ki te ringa o enei tangata e whai nei kia whakamatea koe.

And he swore the king Zedekiah to Jeremiah in secrecy saying [by] [the] life of Yahweh (*Q(K)*) who he has made for us the life this if I will put to death you and if I will give you in [the] hand of the men these who [are] seeking life your.

17 Katahi a Heremaia ka mea atu ki a Terekia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; Ki te haere atu koe ki nga rangatira o te kingi o Papurona, ka ora tou wairua, e kore hoki tenei pa e tahuna ki te ahi; engari ka or a koe me tou whare:

And he said Jeremiah to Zedekiah thus he says Yahweh [the] God of hosts [the] God of Israel certainly [if] you will go out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and you will live self your and the city this not it will be burned with fire and you will live you and household your.

18 Tena ki te kore koe e haere ki nga rangatira a te kingi o Papurona, katahi tenei pa ka hoatu ki te ringa o nga Karari, a ka tahuna e ratou ki te ahi, a e kore koe e mawhiti i o ratou ringa.

And if not you will go out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and it will be given the city this in [the] hand of the Chaldeans and they will burn it with fire and you not you will escape from hand their.

19 Na ka mea a Kingi Terekia ki a Heremaia, E wehi ana ahau i nga Hurai i papahoro atu nei ki nga Karari, kei tukua ahau ki o ratou ringa, ka tawaitia ahau e ratou.

And he said the king Zedekiah to Jeremiah I [am] dreading the Jews who they have fallen to the Chaldeans lest they should give me in hand their and they will deal wantonly with me.

20 Otiia ka mea a Heremaia, E kore koe e tukua e ratou. Whakarongo oti ki te reo o Ihowa e korerotia nei e ahau ki a koe: na ka whiwhi koe ki te pai, a ka ora tou wairua.

And he said Jeremiah not they will give listen please - to [the] voice of Yahweh to [that] which I [am] speaking to you so it may go well for you so it may live self your.

21 Tena ki te kore koe e pai ki te haere atu, ko te kupu tenei i whakakitea e Ihowa ki ahau:

And if [are] refusing you to go out this [is] the thing which he has shown me Yahweh.

22 Inana, ko nga wahine katoa e mahue ana ki te whare o te kingi o Hura ka whakaputaina ki waho ki nga rangatira a te kingi o Papurona, a ka mea aua wahine, i tohea koe e ou hoa aroha, a riro ana koe i ta ratou: na, ka totohu nei ou waewae ki te pa ru, kua hoki ke atu ratou ki muri.

And there! all the women who they are left in [the] house of [the] king of Judah [are] about to be brought out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and they [will be] saying they misled you and they prevailed to you [the] people of peace your they are sunk in the mire feet your they have turned backwards.

23 Na ka whakaputaina e ratou au wahine katoa, me au tamariki, ki waho ki nga Karari: a e kore e mawhiti i o ratou ringa, engari ka mau koe i te ringa o te kingi o Papurona: a mau e tahuna ai tenei pa ki te ahi.

And all wives your and children your [people will] bring out to the Chaldeans and you not you will escape from hand their for by [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon you will be captured and the city this it will burn with fire.

24 Katahi a Terekia ka mea ki a Heremaia, Kei mohiotia enei kupu e tetahi, a e kore koe e mate.

And he said Zedekiah to Jeremiah anyone may not he know in the words these and not you will die.

25 Otiia, ki te rongo nga rangatira kua korero ahau ki a koe, a ka tae ratou ki a koe, ka mea ki a koe, Tena, whakaaturia mai ki a matou, he aha tau i korero ai ki te kingi: kaua e huna ki a matou, a e kore matou e whakamate i a koe: i pehea hoki t e korero a te kingi ki a koe?

And if they will hear the officials that I have spoken with you and they will come to you and they will say to you tell! please to us what? did you say to the king may not you hide [it] from us and not we will put to death you and what? did he say to you the king.

26 Katahi koe ka mea ki a ratou, I te kawe ahau i taku inoi ki te kingi, kia kaua ahau e whakahokia ki te whare o Honatana, ki reira mate ai.

And you will say to them [was] making fall I supplication my before the king to not to send back me [the] house of Jonathan to die there.

27 Ko te haerenga mai tera o nga rangatira katoa ki a Heremaia, ka ui ki a ia; a korerotia ana e ia i runga i nga kupu katoa i whakahaua ra e te kingi. Heoi mutu tonu ta ratou korero ki a ia; no te mea kahore taua mea i mohiotia.

And they came all the officials to Jeremiah and they asked him and he told to them according to all the words these which he had commanded the king and they kept silent from him for not it had been heard the matter.

28 Heoi noho ana a Heremaia i te marae o te whare herehere, a taea noatia te ra i horo ai a Hiruharama. Na, i te horonga o Hiruharama,

And he remained Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard until [the] day when it was captured Jerusalem. And it was just when it was captured Jerusalem.
