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,

And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, with which Yahweh their God had sent him unto them, —even all these words,

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 son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, —saying unto Jeremiah—Falsely, art thou speaking, Yahweh our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not enter Egypt to sojourn 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 son of Neriah, is goading thee on against us, —that he may deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, to put us to death, or take us away captive to Babylon.

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 Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces and all the people, hearkened not, unto the voice of Yahweh, —by remaining in the land of Judah;

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 Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned, out of all the nations whither they had been driven to sojourn in the land of Judah:

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;

both the men and the women and the children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had left, with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, —and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son 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.

and entered the land of Egypt, for they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, —yea entered as far as Tahpanhes.

8 Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia ki Tahapanehe; i mea ia,

Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, 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 in thy hand great stones and hide them in the mortar that is in the brickyard which is at the entrance of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, —before the eyes of the men of Judah.

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.

Then shalt thou say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel—Behold me! sending and fetching Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have hid, —and he shall spread his canopy over 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 entereth, then will he smite the land of Egypt and deliver Him who is for death to death and Him who is for captivity to captivity, and Him who is 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.

So will I kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them and carry them away Captive, —and shall wrap the land of Egypt about him, just as a shepherd, wrappeth about, him his garment, and shall go forth 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.

And he shall break in pieces the pillars of Beth-shemesh, which is in the land of Egypt, —And the houses of the gods of Egypt, shall he burn with fire.
