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 word which he spoke Jeremiah the prophet to Baruch [the] son of Neriah when wrote he the words these on a scroll from [the] mouth of Jeremiah in the year fourth of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah saying.

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

Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel to you 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.

You said woe! please to me for he has added Yahweh sorrow to pain my I am weary with groaning my and rest not I have found.

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 - you will say to him thus he says Yahweh here! [that] which I have built I [am] about to tear down and [that] which I have planted I [am] about to pluck up and all the land it.

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 you you are seeking for yourself great [things] may not you seek [them] for here I [am] about to bring calamity on all flesh [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will give to you life your to plunder at all the places where you will go there.
