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;
In the ninth yeere of Zedekiah King of Iudah in the tenth moneth, came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel and all his hoste against Ierusalem, 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:
And in the eleuenth yeere of Zedekiah in the fourth moneth, the ninth day of the moneth, the citie was broken vp.
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 Babel came in, and sate in the middle gate, euen Neregal, Sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Neregal, Sharezer, Rab-mag with all the residue of the princes of the King of Babel.
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 when Zedekiah the King of Iudah saw them, and all the men of warre, then they fled, and went out of the citie by night, through the Kings garden, and by the gate betweene the two walles, and he went toward the wildernes.
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.
But the Caldeans hoste pursued after them, and ouertooke Zedekiah in the desart of Iericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel vnto Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gaue iudgement vpon 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.
Then the King of Babel slewe the sonnes of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the King of Babel slewe all the nobles of Iudah.
7 I whakamatapotia hoki e ia nga kanohi o Terekia, herea iho ia ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurona.
Moreouer he put out Zedekiahs eyes, and bound him in chaines, to cary him to Babel.
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 Caldeans burnt the Kings house, and the houses of the people with fire, and brake downe the walles of Ierusalem.
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.
Then Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde caried away captiue into Babel the remnant of the people, that remained in the citie, and those that were fled and fallen vnto him, with the rest of the people that remained.
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 chiefe steward left the poore that had nothing in the land of Iudah, and gaue them vineyards and fieldes 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,
Nowe Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel gaue charge concerning Ieremiah vnto Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde, 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 looke well to him, and doe him no harme, but doe vnto him euen as he shall say vnto 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 chiefe steward sent, and Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Neregal, Sharezar, Rab-mag, and all the King of Babels 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.
Euen they sent, and tooke Ieremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him vnto Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan, that he should cary him home: so 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,
Now the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah, while he was shut vp in the court of the prison, 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 speake to Ebed-melech the blacke More, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Beholde, I wil bring my wordes vpon this citie for euill, and not for good, and they shalbe accomplished in that day before thee.
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.
But I wil deliuer thee in that day, saith the Lord, and thou shalt not be giuen into the hand of the men whome thou fearest.
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 surely deliuer thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sworde, but thy life shall be for a praye vnto thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, sayth the Lord.
