Jeremiah 10

1 Heare ye the worde of the Lord that he speaketh vnto you, O house of Israel.

Whakarongo ki te kupu kua korerotia nei e Ihowa ki a koutou, e te whare o Iharaira:

2 Thus saith the Lord, Learne not the way of the heathen, and be not afraid for the signes of heauen, though the heathen be afraid of such.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kaua e akona te ara o nga tauiwi, kaua ano e wehi i nga tohu o te rangi; e wehi ana hoki nga tauiwi i aua mea.

3 For the customes of the people are vaine: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest (which is the worke of the handes of the carpenter) with the axe,

He mea teka noa hoki nga tikanga a nga iwi: e tapahia ana hoki e tetahi he rakau i roto i te ngahere, he mahi na nga ringa o te kaimahi, ki te titaha.

4 And another decketh it with siluer, and with golde: they fasten it with nailes, and hammers, that it fall not.

Kei te whakapaipai i taua mea ki te hiriwa, ki te koura, whakamau rawa ki nga titi, ki nga hama, te taea te whakakorikori.

5 The idoles stande vp as the palme tree, but speake not: they are borne because they cannot go feare them not, for they cannot do euill, neither can they do good.

He rite aua mea ki te nikau, i ata mahia, kahore ia he kupu; me amo, he kore no ratou e haere. Kaua e wehi i a ratou, no te mea e kore e taea e ratou te kino, kahore hoki e ahei i a ratou te mea i te pai.

6 There is none like vnto thee, O Lord: thou art great, and thy name is great in power.

Kahore rawa he rite mou, e Ihowa; he nui koe, he nui ano tou ingoa i runga i te kaha.

7 Who would not feare thee, O King of nations? for to thee appertaineth the dominion: for among all the wise men of the Gentiles, and in al their kingdomes there is none like thee.

Ko wai e kore e wehi i a koe, e te Kingi o nga iwi? he tika hoki tena ki a koe; no te mea i roto i nga tangata whakaaro nui katoa o nga iwi, i roto i o ratou kingitanga katoa, kahore he rite mou.

8 But, altogether they dote, and are foolish: for the stocke is a doctrine of vanitie.

Huihuia ratou, he poauau rawa, he wairangi: ko ta nga whakapakoko e whakaako ai, he rakau tonu ia.

9 Siluer plates are brought from Tarshish, and golde from Vphaz, for the worke of the workeman, and the handes of the founder: the blewe silke, and the purple is their clothing: all these things are made by cunning men.

E maua mai ana he hiriwa paraharaha i Tarahihi, he koura i Upata, he mahi na te kaimahi, na nga ringa ano o te kaiwhakarewa koura: he puru, he papura o ratou kakahu; he mea mahi katoa na te hunga tohunga.

10 But the Lord is the God of trueth: he is the liuing God, and an euerlasting King: at his anger the earth shall tremble, and the nations cannot abide his wrath.

Ko Ihowa ia te Atua pono, ko ia te Atua ora, he kingi pumau tonu; ka riri ia, ka wiri te whenua, e kore ano nga iwi e kaha ake ina aritarita ia.

11 (Thus shall you say vnto them, The gods that haue not made the heauens and the earth, shall perish from the earth, and from vnder these heauens)

Kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki a ratou, Ko nga atua kihai nei i hanga i te rangi, i te whenua, ka ngaro i runga i te whenua, i raro atu ano hoki nga rangi.

12 He hath made the earth by his power, and established the worlde by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his discretion.

Nana i hanga te whenua, na tona kaha hoki; ko te ao he mea whakapumau na ona whakaaro nui; ko nga rangi he mea hora na tona matauranga.

13 Hee giueth by his voyce the multitude of waters in the heauen, and he causeth the cloudes to ascend from the endes of the earth: he turneth lightnings to rayne, and bringeth forth the winde out of his treasures.

Ka puaki tona reo, he haruru wai kei nga rangi, e meinga ana e ia nga kohu kia pupu ake i nga pito o te whenua; e hanga ana e ia nga uira mo te ua, e whakaputaina mai ana te hau i roto i ona whare taonga.

14 Euery man is a beast by his owne knowledge: euery founder is confounded by the grauen image: for his melting is but falsehood, and there is no breath therein.

Poauau kau nga tangata katoa, a kahore he mohio: ko nga kaiwhakarewa koura katoa whakama iho i te whakapakoko: he mea teka hoki tana i whakarewa ai, kahore hoki he wairua i roto.

15 They are vanitie, and the worke of errours: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

He horihori kau ratou, he mahi pohehe; i te wa e pa ai ia ki a ratou ka ngaro.

16 The portion of Iaakob is not like them: for he is the maker of all things, and Israel is the rodde of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name.

Kahore e rite ki era te wahi i a Hakopa; ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaahua o nga mea katoa; ko Iharaira hoki te iwi o tona kainga tupu, ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa.

17 Gather vp thy wares out of the land, O thou that dwellest in the strong place.

Kohikohia au mea i te whenua, e koe e noho na i te pa e whakapaea ana.

18 For thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, at this time I will throwe as with a sling the inhabitants of the lande, and will trouble them, and they shall finde it so.

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Tenei ahau te piupiu atu nei i nga tangata o te whenua i tenei wa, te whakatupu kino nei hoki i a ratou, kia kitea ai e ratou.

19 Wo is me for my destruction, and my grieuous plague: but I thought, Yet it is my sorow, and I will beare it.

Aue, te mate i ahau, mamae rawa toku marutanga: otiia kua mea nei ahau, He pono noku tenei mate, me whakamanawanui.

20 My tabernacle is destroyed, and all my coardes are broken: my children are gone from me, and are not: there is none to spread out my tent any more, and to set vp my curtaines.

Kua pahuatia toku teneti, ko aku aho motumotu katoa: kua rito atu aku tamariki i toku taha, kua kore: kahore ake he tangata hei whakamaro i toku teneti, hei whakaara i oku kakahu arai.

21 For the Pastours are become beasts, and haue not sought the Lord: therefore haue they none vnderstanding: and all the flockes of their pastures are scattered.

Kua poauau nei hoki nga hepara; kihai a Ihowa i rapua e ratou; na reira i kore ai e tika ta ratou, ka marara hoki a ratou kahui katoa.

22 Beholde, the noyse of the brute is come, and a great commotion out of the North countrey to make the cities of Iudah desolate, and a denne of dragons.

Nana, te haere mai nei te reo o nga korero, nui atu te whakaohooho, no te whenua ki te raki, hei mea i nga pa o Hura hei ururua, hei nohoanga mo nga kirehe mohoao.

23 O Lord, I knowe, that the way of man is not in himselfe, neyther is it in man to walke and to direct his steps.

E mohio ana ano ahau, e Ihowa, kahore o te tangata ara i a ia ake ano: kahore hoki i te tangata e haereere nei mana e whakatikatika ona hikoinga.

24 O Lord, correct mee, but with iudgement, not in thine anger, least thou bring mee to nothing.

Pakia ahau, e Ihowa, me te whakariterite ano ia; kauaka ina riri koe, kei kahore ahau i a koe.

25 Powre out thy wrath vpon the heathen, that knowe thee not, and vpon the families that call not on thy Name: for they haue eaten vp Iaakob and deuoured him and consumed him, and haue made his habitation desolate.

Ringihia atu tou riri ki nga tauiwi kahore nei e matau ki a koe, ki nga hapu kahore nei e karanga ki tou ingoa; kua pau hoki a Hakopa i a ratou, ae ra, pau rawa, moti rawa, ko tona mohoanga hoki whakaururuatia ana e ratou.
