Heremaia 50
1 Ko te kupu i korerotia e Ihowa mo Papurona, mo te whenua o nga Karari, i puaki i a Heremaia poropiti.
And it came to pass, when Jeremias ceased speaking to the people all the words of the Lord, [for] which the Lord had sent him to them, [even] all these words,
2 Kauwhautia i roto i nga tauiwi, panuitia, a ka whakaara he kara; panuitia atu, kaua e huna: mea atu, Kua horo a Papurona, kua whakama a Pere, kua pororaru a Meroraka; kua whakama ana whakapakoko, kua wehi ana whakaahua.
that Azarias son of Maasaeas spoke, and Joanan, the son of Caree, and all the men who had spoken to Jeremias, saying, [It is] false: the Lord has not sent thee to us, saying, Enter not into Egypt to dwell there:
3 No te mea kei te haere mai he iwi ki a ia i te raki, mana e ururua ai tona whenua, e kore ano tetahi e noho ki reira: kua rere ratou, kua heke, te tangata, te kararehe.
but Baruch the son of Nerias sets thee against us, that thou mayest deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and that we should be carried away captives to Babylon.
4 I aua ra, i taua wa hoki, e ai ta Ihowa, ka haere mai nga tama a Iharaira, ratou tahi ko nga tama a Hura; ka haere ratou me te tangi haere, a ka rapu i a Ihowa, i to ratou Atua.
So Joanan, and all the leaders of the host, and all the people, refused to hearken to the voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Juda.
5 Tera ratou e ui mo Hiona, me te anga ano o ratou kanohi ki reira, me te ki, Haere mai koutou, ka hono i a koutou ki a Ihowa, i runga i te kawenata mau tonu, e kore e wareware.
And Joanan, and all the leaders of the host, took all the remnant of Juda, who had returned to dwell in the land;
6 Ko taku iwi he hipi ngaro: na o ratou hepara ratou i kotiti ke ai, na ratou hoki ratou i tahuri ke ai i runga i nga maunga: kua haere atu ratou i te maunga ki te pukepuke, kua wareware ki to ratou takotoranga.
the mighty men, and the women, and the children that were left, and the daughters of the king, and the souls which Nabuzardan had left with Godolias the son of Achicam and Jeremias the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerias.
7 Kua kainga ratou e he hunga katoa i kite i a ratou: a kua mea o ratou hoariri, Kahore o tatou he, kua hara nei hoki ratou ki a Ihowa, ki te nohoanga o te tika, ara ki a Ihowa, ki ta o ratou matua i tumanako ai.
And they came into Egypt: for they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord: and they entered into Taphnas.
8 Rere atu i roto i Papurona, heke atu i te whenua o nga Karari, a kia rite ki nga koati toa i mua i nga kahui.
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in Taphnas, saying,
9 No te mea, nana, ka whakaarahia e ahau, ka whakaekea hoki ki Papurona he huihuinga o nga iwi nunui no te whenua ki te raki: a ka takoto o ratou matua hei whawhai ki a ia; ka horo ia i reira: ka rite a ratou pere ki a te marohirohi mohio; e kore t etahi e hoki kau mai.
Take thee great stones, and hide them in the entrance, at the gate of the house of Pharao in Taphnas, in the sight of the men of Juda:
10 A ka pahuatia a Karari: ka tatu nga ngakau o te hunga katoa e pahua ana i a ia, e ai ta Ihowa.
and thou shalt say, Thus has the Lord said; Behold, I [will] send, and will bring Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and he shall place his throne upon these stones which thou hast hidden, and he shall lift up weapons against them.
11 No te mea e koa ana koutou, no te mea e whakamanamana ana koutou, e te hunga e pahua nei i toku kainga tupu, no te mea e takarokaro ana koutou, pera i te kau kuao e takahi ana i te witi, e tangi ana pera i nga hoiho kaha;
And he shall enter in, and smite the land of Egypt, [delivering] some for death to death; and some for captivity to captivity; and some for the sword to the sword.
12 Ka nui rawa te whakama o to koutou whaea; matangerengere ana te wahine i whanau ai koutou: nana, ko ia hei muri rawa o nga iwi, hei koraha, hei whenua waikore, hei ururua.
And he shall kindle a fire in the houses of their gods, and shall burn them, and shall carry them away captives: and shall search the land of Egypt, as a shepherd searches his garment; and he shall go forth in peace.
13 He riri no Ihowa e kore ai e nohoia, engari ka waiho hei ururua katoa a reira: ko nga tangata katoa e tika ana na Papurona ka miharo, ka hi ki ona whiunga katoa.
And he shall break to pieces the pillars of Heliopolis that are in On, and shall burn their houses with fire.
14 Whakatakoto i o koutou matua hei whawhai ki Papurona, ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, e te hunga whakapiko kopere katoa; kopere atu ki a ia, kaua e kaiponuhia nga pere: kua hara hoki ia ki a Ihowa.
15 Hamama ki a ia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha: kua whakangawari ia i a ia: kua hinga ona parepare, kua oti ona taiepa te wahi iho: he rapunga utu hoki na Ihowa; rapua he utu i a ia; kia rite ki tana i mea ai ta koutou e mea ai ki a ia.
16 Hatepea atu te kairui i roto i Papurona, me te kairahurahu o te toronaihi i te wa e kotia ai te witi. He wehi no ratou i te hoari tukino, ka tahuri ki tona iwi, ki tona iwi, rere ana ratou ki tona whenua, ki tona whenua.
17 He hipi a Iharaira i marara atu; kua aia atu ia e nga raiona: i te tuatahi na te kingi o Ahiria ia i kai: i te whakamutunga na tenei Napukareha kingi o Papurona ona whenua i wahi.
18 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Nana, ka whiua e ahau te kingi o Papurona me tona whenua, ka pera me taku whiunga i te kingi o Ahiria.
19 A ka whakahokia e ahau a Iharaira ki tona takanga, a ka kai ia ki runga ki Karamere, ki Pahana, ka makona hoki tona wairua ki runga ki nga pukepuke o Eparaima, ki Kireara.
20 I aua ra, a i taua wa, e ai ta Ihowa, ka rapua te he o Iharaira, a kahore noa iho; nga hara hoki o Hura, a e kore e kitea: ka murua hoki e ahau te kino o te hunga ka whakatoea nei e ahau.
21 Haere atu ki te whenua o Merataimi, ki reira tatau ai, a ki nga tangata hoki o Pekoro: whakamotitia, whakangaromia rawatia, whaia ratou, e ai ta Ihowa, mahia hoki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koe.
22 He ngangau no te whawhai kei te whenua, he whakangaromanga nui.
23 Tona poroporonga rawatanga, wawahia ana te hama o te ao katoa! tona ururutanga o Papurona i roto i nga tauiwi!
24 I whakatakotoria e ahau he mahanga mou, a kua mau koe, e Papurona, kihai hoki koe i mohio: kua kitea koe, kua hopukia hoki, mou i totohe ki a Ihowa.
25 Kua whakapuaretia e Ihowa tona whare taonga, kua whakaputaina mai e ia ki waho nga patu o tona riri: he mahi hoki ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano, hei mahinga ki te whenua o nga Karari.
26 Haere mai ki a ia i te pito rawa ra ano, whakapuaretia ona toa: opehia ake hei puranga, whakangaromia rawatia: kaua rawa he wahi ona e mahue.
27 Patua ana puru katoa; tukua ratou kia haere ki raro ki te patunga: aue, te mate mo ratou! kua tae mai hoki to ratou ra, te wa e whiua ai ratou.
28 Ko te reo o te hunga e rere ana, e mawhiti ana i te whenua o Papurona, hei korero ki te whenua o Hiona i te rapu utu a Ihowa, a to tatou Atua, i te rapu utu mo tona temepara.
29 Karangarangatia kia hui nga kaikopere ki te tatau ki Papurona, te hunga katoa e whakapiko ana i te kopere; whakapaea tena pa, karapoi noa; kaua rawa tetahi ona e mawhiti; utua tana mahi; kia rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ta koutou e mea ai k i a ia: no te mea kua whakapehapeha ia ki a Ihowa, ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
30 Mo reira ka hinga ana taitama ki ona huarahi, a ka whakamotitia ana tangata whawhai katoa i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa.
31 Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e te mea whakakake, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano: no te mea kua tae mai tou ra, te ra e whiua ai koe e ahau.
32 A ka tutuki nga waewae o te mea whakapehapeha, ka hinga, a kahore he kaiwhakaara mona: a ka ngiha i ahau he ahi ki roto ki ona pa, a ka pau i tera nga mea katoa i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha.
33 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Kei te tukinotia ngatahitia nga tamariki a Iharaira, ratou ko nga tamariki a Hura: a kei te puritia ratou, mau rawa, e o ratou kaiwhakarau; e kore ratou e pai ki te tuku i a ratou.
34 He kaha to ratou kaihoko; ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa: ka whakapaua e ia te tohe i ta ratou tohe, kia hoatu ai e ia he tanga manawa ki te whenua, a he ohooho ki nga tangata o Papurona.
35 Kei runga i nga Karari te hoari, e ai ta Ihowa, kei runga ano i nga tangata o Papurona, kei runga i ona rangatira, kei runga hoki i ona tangata whakaaro nui.
36 Kei runga te hoari i te hunga whakapehapeha, a ka wairangi ratou: he hoari kei runga i ana marohirohi, a ka pawera ratou.
37 Kei runga te hoari i o ratou hoiho, kei runga i o ratou hariata, kei runga hoki i nga whakauru katoa i roto i a ia, a ka rite ratou ki te wahine; kei runga te hoari i ona taonga, a ka pahuatia.
38 He mimiti kei runga i ona wai, a ka maroke: he whenua whakapakoko hoki ia, a e porangi ana ratou ki nga atua whakawehi.
39 Mo reira ka nohoia a reira e nga kirehe mohoao o te koraha ratou ngatahi ko nga wuruhi, a ka noho ano hoki nga otereti ki reira; a e kore a reira e nohoia a ake ake; kahore hoki e whai kainga a reira i tetahi whakatupuranga ki tetahi whakatupura nga.
40 Ka rite ki ta te Atua hurihanga i Horoma, i Komora, i nga pa ano hoki e tata ana ki reira, e ai ta Ihowa; ka pera te kore o te tangata e noho ki reira, e kore ano hoki tetahi tama a te tangata e whai kainga ki reira.
41 Nana, kei te haere mai he iwi i te raki; a he iwi nui, he tokomaha hoki nga kingi e maranga mai i nga topito o te whenua.
42 Ka rarau ratou ki te kopere, ki te tao; he iwi nanakia ratou, e kore e tohu tangata; a parara ana to ratou reo pera i te haruru o te moana, kei runga hoiho hoki e eke ana; rarangi rawa katoa, ano he tangata e mea ana ki te whawhai, hei tatau ki a koe, e te tamahine a Papurona.
43 Kua rongo te kingi o Papurona i to ratou rongo, a kei te ngohe ona ringa: kua mau ia i te pawera, i te mamae hoki, me te mea he wahine e whanau ana.
44 Nana, ka haere ake ia ano he raiona i te ngawhatanga o Horoano ki te nohoanga kaha: otiia e kore e rokohanga taku meatanga i a ratou kia rere atu i reira; a ko wai te mea e whiriwhiria kia whakaritea e ahau hei rangatira mona? Ko wai oti e rite ana ki ahau? ko wai hoki hei whakarite wa mai ki ahau? ko wai hoki te hepara hei tu ki toku aroaro?
45 Mo reira whakarongo ki te tikanga a Ihowa, kua whakatakotoria e ia mo Papurona; ki ona whakaaro hoki i whakaaroa e ia mo te whenua o nga Karari: He pono ka toia atu ratou e ratou, ara nga mea ririki o te kahui: he pono ka whakangaromia ratou ko o ratou nohoanga e ia.
46 Ngateri ana te whenua i te haruru o te horonga o Papurona, rangona ana te hamama i roto i nga iwi.
