< Jeremiah 27 >

1 In the beginning of the reigne of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah came this worde vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
I te timatanga o te kingitanga o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura ka puta mai tenei kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia, i mea ia,
2 Thus saith the Lord to me, Make thee bonds, and yokes, and put them vpon thy necke,
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki ahau, Hanga he here, he ioka mou, ka whakanoho ai ki tou kaki;
3 And send them to the King of Edom, and to the King of Moab, and to the King of the Ammonites, and to the King of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hande of the messengers which come to Ierusale vnto Zedekiah ye king of Iudah,
Na tukua ki te kingi o Eroma, ki te kingi o Moapa, ki te kingi o nga tama a Amona, ki te kingi o Taira, ki te kingi hoki o Hairona: ma te ringa o nga karere e haere mai ana ki Hiruharama, ki a Terekia kingi o Hura, e mau.
4 And commande them to saye vnto their masters, Thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say vnto your masters,
Me whakahau ano ratou e koe kia ki atu ki o ratou ariki, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki o koutou ariki:
5 I haue made the earth, the man, and the beast that are vpon the groud, by my great power, and by my outstreched arme, and haue giuen it vnto whom it pleased me.
Naku i hanga te whenua, te tangata me te kararehe i runga i te mata o te whenua, na toku kaha nui, na toku ringa maro tonu; na e hoatu ana e ahau ki taku e pai ai.
6 But nowe I haue giuen all these landes into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel my seruant, and the beastes of the fielde haue I also giuen him to serue him.
Na inaianei kua oti te hoatu e ahau enei whenua katoa ki te ringa o Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, ki taku pononga; a kua hoatu ano e ahau nga kirehe o te parae ki a ia kia whakamahia e ia.
7 And all nations shall serue him, and his sonne, and his sonnes sonne vntill the very time of his lande come also: then many nations and great Kinges shall serue themselues of him.
A ka mahi nga iwi katoa ki a ia, ki tana tama, ki te tama ano hoki a tana tama, kia taka ra ano te wa o tona ake whenua; a hei reira ia whakamahia ai e nga iwi maha, e nga kingi nunui hoki.
8 And the nation and kingdome which will not serue the same Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel, and that will not put their necke vnder the yoke of the King of Babel, the same nation will I visite, saith the Lord, with the sworde, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, vntill I haue wholy giuen them into his hands.
Na ko te iwi, a ko te kingitanga, e kore e mahi ki taua Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, e kore hoki e tuku i o ratou kaki ki raro ki te ioka a te kingi o Papurona, ka whiua e ahau taua iwi, e ai ta Ihowa, ki te hoari, ki te hemokai, ki te mate uruta, kia moti ra ano ratou i ahau ki tona ringa.
9 Therefore heare not your prophets nor your southsayers, nor your dreamers, nor your inchanters, nor your sorcerers, which say vnto you thus, Ye shall not serue the King of Babel.
Tena ko koutou, kaua koutou e rongo ki o koutou poropiti, ki o koutou tohunga tuaahu, ki o koutou moemoea, ki o koutou tohunga kapua, ki o koutou tohunga makutu, e korero na ki a koutou, e mea na, E kore koutou e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona:
10 For they prophecie a lie vnto you to cause you to goe farre from your lande, and that I should cast you out, and you should perish.
No te mea e poropiti ana ratou i te teka ki a koutou, he mea kia matara atu ai koutou i to koutou oneone; kia peia ai hoki koutou e ahau, kia ngaro ai.
11 But the nation that put their neckes vnder the yoke of the King of Babel, and serue him, those wil I let remaine stil in their owne land, saith the Lord, and they shall occupie it, and dwel therein.
Engari ko te iwi e tuku ana i o ratou kaki ki raro ki te ioka a te kingi o Papurona, a ka mahi ki a ia, ka waiho ratou e ahau ki to ratou oneone, e ai ta Ihowa; a ka ngakia e ratou, ka noho hoki ratou ki reira.
12 I spake also to Zedekiah king of Iudah according to all these wordes, saying, Put your neckes vnder the yoke of the King of Babel, and serue him and his people, that ye may liue.
Na rite tonu ki enei kupu katoa taku i korero ai ki a Terekia kingi o Hura, i mea ahau, Tukua atu o koutou kaki ki raro ki te ioka a te kingi o Papurona; e mahi ki a ia, ki a ratou ko tona iwi, a ka ora koutou.
13 Why will ye dye, thou, and thy people by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation, that will not serue the King of Babel?
Kia mate koutou hei aha, koutou ko tou iwi i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta, i ta Ihowa i ki a mo te iwi e kore nei e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona?
14 Therefore heare not the words of the prophets, that speake vnto you, saying, Ye shall not serue the King of Babel: for they prophecie a lie vnto you.
Kaua hoki e rongo ki nga kupu a nga poropiti e korero na ki a koutou, e mea na, E kore koutou e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona: e poropiti teka ana hoki ratou ki a koutou.
15 For I haue not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophecie a lie in my name, that I might cast you out, and that ye might perish, both you, and the prophets that prophecie vnto you.
Ehara hoki ratou i ahau i unga atu, e ai ta Ihowa, otiia kei te poropiti teka ratou i runga i toku ingoa; he mea kia peia ai koutou e ahau, a kia ngaro ai koutou, me nga poropiti e poropiti na ki a koutou.
16 Also I spake to the Priests, and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Heare not the wordes of your prophets that prophecie vnto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of the Lord shall nowe shortly be brought againe from Babel, for they prophecie a lie vnto you.
I korero ano ahau ki nga tohunga, ki tenei iwi katoa, i mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa; Kei rongo koutou ki nga kupu a o koutou poropiti e poropiti na ki a koutou, e mea na, Nana, ka tata te whakahokia mai nga oko o te whare o Ihowa i Papurona: h e poropiti teka hoki ta ratou ki a koutou.
17 Heare them not, but serue the King of Babel, that ye may liue: wherefore shoulde this citie be desolate?
Kei whakarongo ki a ratou; e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona, kia ora ai koutou: kia ururuatia tenei pa hei ahau?
18 But if they be Prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them intreate the Lord of hostes, that the vessels, which are left in the House of the Lord, and in the house of the King of Iudah, and at Ierusalem, go not to Babel.
Otira, ki te mea he poropiti ratou, ki te mea kei a ratou te kupu a Ihowa, me inoi ratou inaianei ki a Ihowa o nga mano, kia kaua nga oko e toe nei ki te whare o Ihowa, ki te whare o te kingi o Hura, ki Hiruharama, e tae ki Papurona.
19 For thus saith the Lord of hostes, concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remaine in this citie,
Ina hoki te kupu a Ihowa o nga mano mo nga pou, mo te moana, mo nga turanga, a mo nga toenga o nga oko kua mahue nei ki tenei pa,
20 Which Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel tooke not, when he caryed away captiue Ieconiah the sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah from Ierusalem to Babel, with all the nobles of Iudah and Ierusalem.
Kihai nei i riro i a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona i tana whakaraunga atu i a Hekonia tama a Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura i roto i Hiruharama ki Papurona, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa o Hura, o Hiruharama;
21 For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remaine in the House of the Lord, and in the house of the King of Iudah, and at Ierusalem,
Ae ra, ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, mo nga oko e toe nei ki te whare o Ihowa, ki te whare hoki o te kingi o Hura, ki Hiruharama;
22 They shall be brought to Babel, and there they shalbe vntil the day that I visite them, saith the Lord: then will I bring them vp, and restore them vnto this place.
Ka kawea aua mea ki Papurona, ka takoto hoki ki reira, taea noatia te ra e pa ai ahau ki a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa; hei reira ka maua mai e ahau, ka whakahokia mai ki tenei wahi.
