Heremaia 45

1 Ko te kupu i korerotia e Heremaia poropiti ki a Paruku tama a Neria, i tana tuhituhinga i enei kupu ki te pukapuka, na Heremaia i korero, i te wha o nga tau o Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura; i ki ia,

The worde that Ieremiah the Prophet spake vnto Baruch the sonne of Neriah, when he had written these woordes in a booke at the mouth of Ieremiah, in the fourth yeere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, saying,

2 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira mou, e Paruku;

Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel vnto thee, O Baruch,

3 I mea koe, Aue, toku mate nei hoki! kua tapiritia hoki e Ihowa toku mamae ki te tangi; mauiui noa ahau i toku auetanga, te ai he pariratanga.

Thou diddest say, Wo is me nowe: for the Lord hath laied sorrow vnto my sorrowe: I fainted in my mourning, and I can finde no rest.

4 Ko tau tenei e ki atu ai ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Nana, ko taku i hanga ai ka wahia iho ano e ahau, a ko taku i whakato ai ka hutia atu ano e ahau; a ko tenei ki te whenua katoa.

Thus shalt thou say vnto him, The Lord sayeth thus, Behold, that which I haue built, will I destroy, and that which I haue planted, will I plucke vp, euen this whole lande.

5 A e rapu ana koe i nga mea nunui mau? kaua e rapua; no te mea kei te kawea atu e ahau he kino mo nga kikokiko katoa, e ai ta Ihowa: engari ka hoatu e ahau tou wairua ki a koe hei taonga parakete i nga wahi katoa e haere atu ai koe.

And seekest thou great things for thy self? seeke them not: for beholde, I wil bring a plague vpon al flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life wil I giue thee for a pray in all places, whither thou goest.
