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, the king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and all his army, against Jerusalem, and 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 eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, was the city 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.
that all the chieftains of the king of Babylon came, and stationed themselves in the middle gate, Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, prefect of the eunuchs, Nergalsharezer, prefect of the magians, 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 when Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and all the men of war, saw them, they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls; and they went forth toward 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.
But the army of the Chaldaeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment concerning 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 slew the sons of Zedekiah at Riblah before his eyes; and all the nobles of Judah did the king of Babylon slay.
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 fetters 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 Chaldaeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and they 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 the residue of the people that remained in the city, and the deserters who had come over to him, the residue of the people that remained, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, carried away to Babylon.
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 the poor of the people, who had nothing, Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, left 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 Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, captain of the 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 have thine eyes upon him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to you.”
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;
Then sent Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, and Nebushasban, prefect of the eunuchs, and Nergalsharezer, prefect of the magians, and all the princes of the king of Babylon,
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.
they sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him 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,
Now the word of Jehovah had come to Jeremiah, while he was shut up 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 speak to Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, and say: Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I bring my words upon this city for evil and not for good, and with thine own eyes shalt thou see it 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.
But 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.
But I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be to thee as a prey; because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith Jehovah.
