< Heremaia 42 >

1 Katahi nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ratou ko Hohanana tama a Karea, ko Tetania tama a Hohaia, ko te iwi katoa hoki, i te iti ki te rahi, ka haere mai,
Then all the captaines of the hoste, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and Iezaniah the sonne of Hoshaaiah, and all the people from the least vnto the most came,
2 A ka mea ki a Heremaia poropiti, Tena, tukua atu ta matou inoi kia manaakitia ki tou aroaro; mau hoki e inoi mo matou ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ara mo enei morehu katoa; he torutoru noa hoki matou o te tokomaha i toe iho, e kite na ou kanohi i a m atou:
And saide vnto Ieremiah the Prophete, Heare our prayer, we beseeche thee, and pray for vs vnto the Lord thy God, euen for all this remnant (for we are left, but a fewe of many, as thine eyes doe beholde)
3 Kia whakaaturia mai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a matou te ara e haere ai matou, te mea e mahi ai matou.
That the Lord thy God may shewe vs the way wherein wee may walke, and the thing that we may doe.
4 Ano ra ko Heremaia poropiti ki a ratou, Kua rongo ahau ki a koutou; nana, ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, ka rite ki a koutou kupu na: a, ko nga kupu katoa e whakahokia mai e Ihowa ki a koutou, ka whakaaturia e ahau ki a koutou; e kor e tetahi kupu e kaiponuhia e ahau ki a koutou.
Then Ieremiah the Prophet said vnto them, I haue heard you: behold, I will pray vnto ye Lord your God according to your wordes, and whatsoeuer thing the Lord shall answere you, I will declare it vnto you: I will keepe nothing backe from you.
5 Ano ra ko ratou ki a Heremaia, He pono, he tika hoki a Ihowa hei kaiwhakaatu mo ta tatou, ki te kahore e rite ta matou e mea ai ki nga kupu katoa e unga mai ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a matou.
Then they said to Ieremiah, The Lord be a witnesse of trueth, and faith betweene vs, if we doe not, euen according to all things for ye which the Lord thy God shall send thee to vs.
6 Ahakoa pai, ahakoa kino, ka rongo matou ki te reo o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, ka unga nei koe e matou ki a ia; kia whai pai ai matou, ki te rongo matou ki te reo o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.
Whether it be good or euill, we will obey the voyce of the Lord God, to whom we sende thee that it may be well with vs, when wee obey the voyce of the Lord our God.
7 Na i te mutunga o nga ra kotahi tekau ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia.
And so after ten dayes came the word of the Lord vnto Ieremiah.
8 Katahi ia ka karanga ki a Hohanana tama a Karea, ratou ko ona hoa, ko nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ki te iwi katoa hoki, ki te iti, ki te rahi,
Then called he Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, which were with him, and all ye people from ye least to the most,
9 A ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, i unga nei ahau e koutou ki te whakatakoto i ta koutou inoi ki tona aroaro;
And saide vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, vnto whom ye sent me to present your prayers before him,
10 Ki te noho tonu koutou ki tenei whenua, katahi ahau ka hanga i a koutou, a kahore e wahi iho i a koutou, ka whakatokia hoki koutou e ahau, a kahore e hutia ake: no te mea e ripeneta ana ahau ki te kino kua oti nei i ahau te mea ki a koutou.
If ye will dwell in this land, then I wil build you, and not destroy you, and I will plant you, and not roote you out: for I repent me of the euill that I haue done vnto you.
11 Kaua e wehi i te kingi o Papurona, e wehingia na e koutou: kaua e wehi i a ia, e ai ta Ihowa; no te mea kei a koutou ahau hei whakaora i a koutou, hei tango i a koutou i roto i tona ringa.
Feare not for the King of Babel, of whom ye are afraide: be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to saue you, and to deliuer you from his hand,
12 A ka tukua atu aku mahi atawhai ki a koutou, kia atawhai ai ia i a koutou, a ka whakahoki i a koutou ki to koutou oneone.
And I will graunt you mercie that he may haue compassion vpon you, and he shall cause you to dwell in your owne land.
13 Tena ki te mea koutou, E kore matou e noho ki tenei whenua; a ka kore koutou e rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua;
But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither heare the voyce of the Lord your God,
14 Ka mea, Kahore; engari ka haere matou ki te whenua o Ihipa, ki te wahi e kore ai matou e kite i te whawhai, e kore ai hoki e rongo i te tangi o te tetere, a e kore ai e hiakai ki te taro; a hei reira tatou noho ai:
Saying, Nay, but we will goe into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no warre, nor heare the sounde of the trumpet, nor haue hunger of bread, and there will we dwell,
15 Na kia rongo koutou aianei, e nga morehu o Hura, ki te kupu a Ihowa, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ki te maro tonu o koutou kanohi ki te haere ki Ihipa, a ka haere koutou ki reira noho ai;
(And nowe therefore heare the worde of the Lord, ye remnant of Iudah: thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, If ye set your faces to enter into Egypt, and goe to dwell there)
16 Na ka mau koutou i te hoari, e wehingia nei e koutou, ki reira, ki te whenua o Ihipa, a ka whaia tatatia koutou e te hemokai, e wehi na koutou, ki reira, ki Ihipa; a ka mate koutou ki reira.
Then the sworde that ye feared, shall take you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, for the which ye care, shall there hang vpon you in Egypt, and there shall ye die.
17 Na ka pena nga tangata katoa e naro ana o ratou kanohi ki te haere ki Ihipa ki reira noho ai; ka mate ratou i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta: a e kore tetahi o ratou e toe, e mawhiti i te kino e takina mai e ahau ki runga ki a ratou.
And all the men that set their faces to enter into Egypt to dwell there, shall die by ye sword, by the famine and by the pestilence, and none of them shall remaine nor escape from the plague, that I will bring vpon them.
18 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; Ka rite ki taku ringihanga i toku riri, i toku weriweri, ki runga ki nga tangata o Hiruharama, ka pena ano taku ringihanga i toku weriweri ki runga ki a koutou, ina tae koutou ki Ih ipa: a hei kohukohutanga, hei hahanitanga; a e kore koutou e kite i tenei wahi a muri atu.
For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, As mine anger and my wrath hath bene powred foorth vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem: so shall my wrath be powred foorth vpon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt, and ye shall be a detestation, and an astonishment, and a curse and a reproche, and ye shall see this place no more.
19 Kua puaki ta Ihowa kupu mo koutou, E nga morehu o Hura, Kaua e haere ki Ihipa: kia tino mohio koutou kua oti te whakaatu e ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra.
O ye remnant of Iudah, the Lord hath said concerning you, Goe not into Egypt: knowe certeinely that I haue admonished you this day.
20 Kua tinihanga hoki koutou ki o koutou na wairua ano; i unga hoki koutou i ahau ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, i ki mai, Inoi mo matou ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua; a, ko nga mea katoa e korerotia e Ihowa, e to tatou Atua, mau e whakaatu ki a mat ou, a ka mahia e matou.
Surely ye dissembled in your hearts When ye sent me vnto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for vs vnto the Lord our God, and declare vnto vs euen according vnto al that the Lord our God shall say, and we will doe it.
21 Na kua whakaaturia nei e ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra; otira kihai koutou i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua, i nga mea katoa i unga ai ahau e ai ki a koutou.
Therefore I haue this day declared it you, but you haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me vnto you.
22 Ko tenei, kia tino mohio koutou, tera koutou e mate i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta, ki te wahi i hiahia ai koutou kia haere ki reira noho ai.
Nowe therefore, knowe certeinely that ye shall die by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to goe and dwell.
