Jeremiah 7
1 The woordes that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
Ko te kupu i a Heremaia, he mea na Ihowa; i ki mai ia,
2 Stand in the gate of the Lordes house and crie this woorde there, and say, Heare the woorde of the Lord, all yee of Iudah that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
E tu ki te kuwaha o te whare o Ihowa, ka karanga i tenei kupu ki reira, ka mea, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e Hura katoa e tomo nei ki enei kuwaha ki te koropiko ki a Ihowa.
3 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Amend your waies and your woorkes, and I will let you dwell in this place.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Whakapaia o koutou ara me a koutou mahi, a ka meinga e ahau kia noho koutou ki tenei wahi.
4 Trust not in lying woordes, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord: this is the Temple of the Lord.
Kei whakawhirinaki ki nga kupu teka noa, kei ki, Ko te temepara o Ihowa, ko te temepara o Ihowa, ko te temepara o Ihowa enei.
5 For if you amende and redresse your waies and your woorkes: if you execute iudgement betweene a man and his neighbour,
Ki te whakapaia rawatia hoki o koutou ara, me a koutou mahi; ki te mea ka tika rawa ta koutou whakarite whakawa i waenganui i te tangata raua ko tona hoa;
6 And oppresse not the stranger, the fatherlesse and the widow and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walke after other gods to your destruction,
Ki te kore koutou e tukino i te manene, i te pani, i te pouaru, a kahore e whakaheke i nga toto o te harakore ki tenei wahi, kahore hoki e haere, e whai i nga atua ke hei he mo koutou:
7 Then will I let you dwell in this place in the lande that I gaue vnto your fathers, for euer and euer.
Katahi ahau ka mea i a koutou kia noho ki tenei wahi, ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki o koutou matua inamata ake ake.
8 Beholde, you trust in lying woordes, that can not profite.
Nana, kei te whakawhirinaki na koutou ki nga kupu teka, kahore nei he pai.
9 Will you steale, murder, and commit adulterie, and sweare falsely and burne incense vnto Baal, and walke after other gods whome yee knowe not?
E tahae ranei koutou, e patu tangata, e puremu? e oati teka ranei? e tahu whakakakara ranei ki a Paara, e whai ranei i nga atua ke kihai i matauria e koutou;
10 And come and stande before mee in this House, whereupon my Name is called, and saye, We are deliuered, though we haue done all these abominations?
A ka haere mai, ka tu ki toku aroaro i tenei whare kua huaina nei ki toku ingoa, ka mea, Kua ora matou; kia mahi ai koutou i enei mea whakarihariha katoa?
11 Is this House become a denne of theeues, whereupon my Name is called before your eyes? Beholde, euen I see it, sayeth the Lord.
Ki ta koutou titiro kua waiho koia hei ana mo nga kaipahua tenei whare kua huaina nei ki toku ingoa? Nana, kua kite ahau, ahau nei ano, e ai ta Ihowa.
12 But go ye nowe vnto my place which was in Shilo, where I set my Name at the beginning, and beholde, what I did to it for the wickednesse of my people Israel.
Engari haere ra ki toku wahi i Hiro, ki te wahi i whakanohoia mataatitia ai e ahau toku ingoa, tirohia taku i mea ai ki reira mo te kino o taku iwi, o Iharaira.
13 Therefore nowe because yee haue done all these woorkes, sayeth the Lord, (and I rose vp earely and spake vnto you: but when I spake, yee would not heare me, neither when I called, would yee answere).
Na, inaianei, i ta koutou meatanga i enei mea katoa, e ai ta Ihowa, i korero ano ahau ki a koutou; maranga wawe ana ahau, korero ana, heoi kihai koutou i rongo mai; karanga ana ahau ki a koutou, a kihai i utua taku;
14 Therefore will I do vnto this House, wherupon my Name is called, wherein also yee trust, euen vnto the place that I gaue to you and to your fathers, as I haue done vnto Shilo.
Na, ko taku e mea ai ki tenei whare i huaina nei ki toku ingoa, ki ta koutou e whakawhirinaki nei, ki te wahi ano i hoatu nei e ahau ki a koutou, ki o koutou matua, ka rite ki taku i mea ai ki Hiro.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I haue cast out all your brethren, euen the whole seede of Ephraim.
Ka akiritia atu ano koutou e ahau i toku aroaro, ka peratia me taku akiritanga i o koutou teina katoa, i nga uri katoa o Eparaima.
16 Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp crie or praier for them neither intreat me, for I will not heare thee.
Heoi, kaua koe e inoi mo tenei iwi; kei ara hoki tetahi tangi, tetahi kupu wawao au mo ratou, kaua hoki ahau e whakamarietia, no te mea e kore ahau e rongo ki a koe.
17 Seest thou not what they doe in the cities of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?
Kahore ianei koe i te kite i ta ratou e mea nei i nga pa o Hura, i nga ara ano o Hiruharama?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knede the dough to make cakes to the Queene of heauen and to powre out drinke offrings vnto other gods, that they may prouoke me vnto anger.
Ko nga tamariki kei te kohikohi wahie, ko nga matua kei te whakau i te ahi, ko nga wahine kei te pokepoke i te paraoa hei hanga i etahi keke, he mea ki te kuini o te rangi, riringi tonu iho i te ringihanga ki nga atua ke, hei whakapataritari i a hau.
19 Doe they prouoke me to anger, sayeth the Lord, and not themselues to the confusion of their owne faces?
He whakapataritari ranei ta ratou ki ahau? e ai ta Ihowa; te teka ianei ki a ratou ano, a whakama iho o ratou mata?
20 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, mine anger and my wrath shall be powred vpon this place, vpon man and vpon beast, and vpon the tree of the fielde, and vpon the fruite of the grounde, and it shall burne and not bee quenched.
Na, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana, ka ringihia toku riri, toku aritarita, ki runga ki tenei wahi, ki runga ki te tangata, ki te kararehe, ki te rakau o te mara, ki nga hua o te oneone; a ka ngiha, e kore ano e tineia.
21 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Put your burnt offerings vnto your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ko a koutou tahunga tinana tapiritia iho ki runga ki a koutou patunga tapu, kainga hoki he kikokiko.
22 For I spake not vnto your fathers, nor commanded them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offrings and sacrifices.
Kahore hoki aku korero ki o koutou matua, kahore aku whakahau ki a ratou i te ra i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, mo nga tahunga tinana, mo nga patunga tapu.
23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voyce, and I will be your God, and yee shalbe my people: and walke yee in all the wayes which I haue commanded you, that it may be well vnto you.
Engari ko te kupu tenei i whakahaua e ahau ki a ratou; i ki ahau, Whakarongo ki toku reo, a hei Atua ahau mo koutou, ko koutou hoki hei iwi maku, me haere ano koutou i runga i te ara katoa ka whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koutou, kia whiwhi ai ki te pai.
24 But they would not obey, nor incline their eare, but went after the counsels and the stubbernesse of their wicked heart, and went backewarde and not forwarde.
Otiia kihai ratou i rongo, kihai ano i tahuri to ratou taringa; na haere ana ratou i runga i o ratou ake whakaaro, i nga tikanga pakeke o o ratou ngakau kino; ko ta ratou he anga ki muri, kihai hoki i anga ki mua.
25 Since the day that your fathers came vp out of the lande of Egypt, vnto this day, I haue euen sent vnto you al my seruants the Prophets, rising vp earely euery day, and sending them.
No te ra i haere mai ai o koutou matua i te whenua o Ihipa tae mai ki tenei ra taku tononga atu i aku pononga katoa, i nga poropiti, ki a koutou, maranga wawe ana ahau i tenei ra, i tenei ra, unga ana ratou e ahau.
26 Yet would they not heare me nor encline their eare, but hardened their necke and did worse then their fathers.
Heoi kihai ratou i rongo ki ahau, kihai ano i tahuri to ratou taringa; na whakapakeketia ana e ratou to ratou kaki: kino iho ta ratou i ta o ratou matua.
27 Therefore shalt thou speake al these words vnto them, but they will not heare thee: thou shalt also crie vnto them, but they will not answere thee.
Na mau e korero enei kupu katoa ki a ratou, e kore ia ratou e rongo ki a koe: karanga ki a ratou; e kore ano e utua tau.
28 But thou shalt say vnto them, This is a nation that heareth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiueth discipline: trueth is perished, and is cleane gone out of their mouth.
A me ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te iwi tenei kihai nei i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to ratou Atua, kihai hoki i pai ki te ako: kua kore te pono, kua tapahia atu i to ratou mangai.
29 Cut off thine heare, O Ierusalem, and cast it away, and take vp a complaint on the hie places: for the Lord hath reiected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
Waruhia ou makawe, e Hiruharama, maka atu, anga atu ki te tangi ki runga ki nga wahi tiketike: kua paopaongia nei hoki e Ihowa, kua whakarerea te whakatupuranga i riri ai ia.
30 For the children of Iudah haue done euill in my sight, sayth the Lord: they haue set their abominations in the House, whereupon my Name is called, to pollute it.
He kino hoki te mahi a nga tama a Hura ki taku titiro, e ai ta Ihowa; whakaturia ake e ratou a ratou mea whakarihariha ki te whare kua huaina nei ki toku ingoa, whakapokea iho e ratou.
31 And they haue built the hie place of Topheth, which is in the valley of Ben-Hinnom to burne their sonnes and their daughters in the fire, which I commanded them not, neither came it in mine heart.
Hanga ake e ratou nga wahi tiketike o Topete, o tera i te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, hei tahunga mo a ratou tama, mo a ratou tamahine ki te ahi; he mea kihai nei i whakahaua e ahau, kihai ano i puta ake i roto i toku ngakau.
32 Therefore beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall burie in Topheth til there be no place.
Mo reira, na, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e kore ai e kiia i muri, Ko Topete, Ko te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, ranei; engari Ko te raorao i te parekura: ka tanu tangata hoki ratou ki Topete, a kia kore ra ano he wahi hei tanumanga.
33 And ye carkeises of this people shalbe meat for the foules of the heauen and for the beastes of the earth, and none shall fraie them away.
A ka waiho nga tinana o tenei iwi hei kai ma nga manu o te rangi, ma nga kararehe o te whenua; kahore hoki he kaiwhakawehi atu.
34 Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Iudah and from the streetes of Ierusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladnesse, the voice of the bridegrom and the voice of the bride: for the lande shalbe desolate.
Ka whakamutua ano e ahau i roto i nga pa o Hura, i nga ara ano o Hiruharama, te reo koa, te reo hari, te reo o te tane marena hou, te reo o te wahine marena hou: no te mea ka ururuatia te whenua.
