< Heremaia 43 >
1 A ka mutu te korero a Heremaia ki te iwi katoa i nga kupu katoa a Ihowa, a to ratou Atua, i unga ai ia ki a ratou e Ihowa, e to ratou Atua, ara enei kupu katoa,
Nowe when Ieremiah had made an ende of speaking vnto ye whole people all the wordes of the Lord their God, for the which the Lord their God had sent him to them, euen all these wordes,
2 Katahi ka korero a Ataria tama a Hohaia, ratou ko Hohanana tama a Karea, ko nga tangata whakapehapeha katoa ano hoki, ka mea ki a Heremaia, E korero teka ana koe: kihai a Ihowa, to tatou Atua, i unga mai i a koe hei mea, Kaua koutou e haere ki Ih ipa, ki reira noho ai:
Then spake Azariah the sonne of Hoshaiah, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the proude men, saying vnto Ieremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, Goe not into Egypt to dwell there,
3 Engari na Paruku, na te tama a Neria koe i whakakiki ki te he mo matou, kia tukua ai matou ki te ringa o nga Karari, kia whakamatea ai matou e ratou, kia whakaraua ai hoki ki Papurona.
But Baruch ye sonne of Neriah prouoketh thee against vs, for to deliuer vs into the hand of the Caldeans, that they might slay vs, and cary vs away captiues into Babel.
4 Na kihai a Hohanana tama a Karea, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ko te iwi katoa hoki, i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, kia noho ki te whenua o Hura.
So Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, and all the people obeied not the voyce of the Lord, to dwell in the lande of Iudah.
5 Engari i mau a Hohanana tama a Karea, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, ki nga morehu katoa o Hura i peai nei ratou ki nga iwi katoa, a i hoki mai ki te whenua o Hura noho ai;
But Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste tooke all the remnant of Iudah, that were returned from al nations, whither they had bene driuen, to dwel in ye land of Iudah:
6 Ki nga tana, ki nga wahine, ki nga tamariki, ki nga tamahine hoki a te kingi, ki nga tangata katoa i waiho e Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki ki a Keraria tama a Ahikama, tama a Hapana, ki a Heremaia poropiti, ki a Paruku hoki tama a Neria;
Euen men and women, and children, and the Kinges daughters, and euery person, that Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward had left with Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, ye sonne of Shaphan, and Ieremiah the Prophet, and Baruch the sonne of Neriah.
7 A haere ana ratou ki te whenua o Ihipa; kihai hoki ratou i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa: na ka tae ratou ki Tahapanehe.
So they came into the lande of Egypt: for they obeied not the voice of the Lord: thus came they to Tahpanhes.
8 Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia ki Tahapanehe; i mea ia,
Then came the worde of the Lord vnto Ieremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9 Maua atu etahi kohatu nunui i tou ringa, a ka huna ki roto ki te paru ki te papa pereki, ki tera i te kuwaha o te whare o Parao i Tahapanehe, a kia kite hoki nga tangata o Hura;
Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the claie in the bricke kill, which is at the entrie of Pharaohs house in Tanpanhes in ye sight of the men of Iudah,
10 A ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Nana, ka unga tangata ahau ki te tiki i taku pononga, i a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka whakaturia e ahau tona torona ki runga ki enei kohatu kua huna nei e ahau; a ka horahia e ia tona teneti kingi ki runga.
And say vnto them, Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Beholde, I will sende and bring Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel my seruant, and will set his throne vpon these stones that I haue hid, and he shall spread his pauilion ouer them.
11 Na ka tae mai ia, a ka patu i te whenua o Ihipa; ko te hunga mo te mate ka tukua ki te mate, ko te hunga mo te whakarau ki te whakarau, a ko te hunga mo te hoari ki te hoari.
And when he shall come, he shall smite the land of Egypt: such as are appoynted for death, to death, and such as are for captiuitie, to captiuitie, and such as are for the sword to the sword.
12 Ka ngiha ano i ahau he ahi i roto i nga whare o nga atua o Ihipa; ka tahuna ratou e ia, a ka whakaraua atu: a ka kakahuria e ia te whenua o Ihipa, ano he hepara e kakahu ana i tona kakahu; a ka haere atu ia i reira i runga i te rangimarie.
And I wil kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burne them and carie them away captiues, and he shall aray himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepheard putteth on his garment, and shall depart from thence in peace.
13 Ka wawahia hoki e ia nga whakapakoko o Petehemehe, o tera i te whenua o Ihipa, ka tahuna ki te ahi nga whare o nga atua o Ihipa.
He shall breake also ye images of Beth-shemesh, that is in the lande of Egypt, and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burne with fire.
