Heremaia 39
1 I te iwa o nga tau o Terekia kingi o Hura, i te tekau o nga marama, ka haere mai a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona ratou ko tana ope katoa ki Hiruharama, a whakapaea ana a reira e ratou;
And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
2 I te tekau ma tahi o nga tau o Terekia, i te wha o nga marama, i te iwa o nga ra o te marama, ka pakaru te pa:
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the city was broken into;
3 Na ka haere mai nga rangatira katoa a te kingi o Papurona, a noho ana i te kuwaha o waenganui, a Nerekara Haretere, a Hamakara Nepo, a Harehekimi, a Rapahari, a Nerekara Haretere, a Rapamaka, ratou ko era atu rangatira a te kingi o Papurona.
and all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim, chief chamberlain, Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 Na, i te kitenga o Terekia kingi o Hura ratou ko nga tangata whawhai katoa, rere ana ratou, puta atu ana ki waho o te pa i te po, ma te ara i te kari waho o te pa i te po, ma te ara i te kari a te kingi, ma te kuwaha i waenganui i nga taiepa e ru a: a puta atu ana ia i te ara o te Arapa.
And it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls; and he went out the way of the plain.
5 Otiia i whaia ratou e te ope o nga Karari, a ka mau a Terekia ki nga mania i Heriko. Na hopukia ana ia, kawea ana ki a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, ki Ripira i te whenua o Hamata: a whakawhakia ana ia e ia.
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment upon him.
6 Katahi ka tukitukia e te kingi o Papurona nga tama a Terekia ki tona aroaro ki Ripira: a i tukitukia ano e te kingi o Papurona nga rangatira katoa o Hura.
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon slaughtered all the nobles of Judah;
7 I whakamatapotia hoki e ia nga kanohi o Terekia, herea iho ia ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurona.
and he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Na tahuna ana e nga Karari te whare o te kingi, me nga whare o te iwi, ki te ahi, wawahia iho e ratou nga taiepa o Hiruharama.
And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Katahi ka whakaraua e Neputaraarana, rangatira o nga kaitiaki, ka mauria ki Papurona te toenga o te iwi i mahue ki te pa, me te hunga i papahoro atu, i taka atu ki a ia, me era atu o te iwi i mahue ki te pa.
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to him, with the rest of the people that were left.
10 Otiia i mahue iho i a Neputaraarana, rangatira o nga kaitiaki, nga ware o te iwi, kahore nei o ratou rawa, ki te whenua o Hura, a hoatu ana e ia he mara waina me etahi atu mara ki a ratou i taua ra.
But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left [certain] of the people, the poor who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Na i tohutohu a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona ki a Neputaraarana, rangatira o nga kaitiaki, mo Heremaia i mea ia,
And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had given charge concerning Jeremiah by Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard, saying,
12 Tikina ia, kia pai hoki te tiaki i a ia, a kaua ia e tukinotia; engari ko tana e ki mai ai, ko tau tena e mea ai ki a ia.
Take him, and keep an eye upon him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
13 Heoi ka unga tangata a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki, ratou ko Nepuhahapana, ko Rapahari, ko Nerekara Haretere, ko Rapamaka, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa a te kingi o Papurona;
So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard sent, and Nebushazban, chief chamberlain, and Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the king of Babylon's princes,
14 Unga tangata ana ratou, a tikina atu ana a Heremaia i te marae o te whare herehere, a tukua atu ana ia e ratou ki a Keraria tama a Ahikama, tama a Hapana kia kawea ki te kainga: na noho ana ia i waenganui i te iwi.
even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should conduct him away home. And he dwelt among the people.
15 Na i puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia, i a ia e here ana i te marae o te whare herehere; i mea ia,
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
16 Haere, korero ki a Eperemereke Etiopiana, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Nana, ka takina mai e ahau aku kupu ki runga ki tenei pa, hei kino, ehara ano hoki i te pai; a ka tutuki ki tou aroaro i taua ra.
Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall come to pass before thy face in that day.
17 Otiia ka whakaorangia koe e ahau i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa: e kore hoki koe e tukua ki te ringa o te hunga e wehi na koe.
And I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid;
18 Ka tino whakaorangia hoki koe e ahau, a e kore koe e hinga i te hoari, engari ka waiho tou wairua hei taonga parakete ki a koe: mou i whakawhirinaki ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
for I will certainly save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thou shalt have thy life for a prey; for thou hast put thy confidence in me, saith Jehovah.
