Jeremiah 13
1 Yahweh said this to me, “Go and buy a linen undergarment and put it on around your waist, but do not put it in water first.”
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki ahau, Tikina, hokona he whitiki rinena mou, ka whitiki ai ki tou hope; kaua hoki e tukua ki te wai.
2 So I bought an undergarment as Yahweh directed, and I put in on around my waist.
Heoi kua hokona e ahau tetahi whitiki, ko ta Ihowa i ki ai, whitikiria iho e ahau ki toku hope.
3 Then the word of Yahweh came to me a second time, saying,
Na ko te rua o nga putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,
4 “Take the undergarment that you purchased that is around your waist, get up and go now to Perath. Hide it there in a rock crevice.”
E mau ki te whitiki i hokona e koe, ki tera i tou hope, ka whakatika, ka haere ki Uparati, ka huna ki tetahi rua i te kamaka.
5 So I went and hid it in Perath, just as Yahweh had commanded me.
Heoi haere ana ahau, huna ana i taua mea ki Uparati, pera tonu me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki ahau.
6 After many days, Yahweh said to me, “Get up and go back to Perath. Take from there the undergarment that I had told you to hide.”
A ka maha nga ra, ka ki mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Whakatika, haere ki Uparati, tikina i reira te whitiki i whakahau ai ahau ki a koe kia huna ki reira.
7 So I went back to Perath and dug out the undergarment where I had hid it, and behold, it was destroyed and completely useless.
Katahi ka haere ahau ki Uparati, kei te keri, tangohia mai ana e ahau te whitiki i te wahi i huna ai e ahau: na, kua kino te whitiki, kihai i pai mo tetahi mea.
8 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,
9 “Yahweh says this: In the same way I will destroy the great arrogance of Judah and Jerusalem.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka pena ano taku whakakino i te whakapehapeha o Hura, i te whakapehapeha nui o Hiruharama.
10 This wicked people who refuses to listen to my word, who walk in the hardness of their heart, who go after other gods to worship them and bow down to them—they will be like this undergarment that is good for nothing.
Ko tenei iwi kino e kore nei e pai ki te whakarongo ki aku kupu, e haere ana i runga i nga tikanga pakeke o o ratou ngakau, e whai ana i nga atua ke, e mahi ana, e koropiko ana ki a ratou, ka rite ratou ki tenei whitiki e kore nei e pai mo tetah i mea.
11 For just as an undergarment clings to someone's hips, so I have made all the house of Israel and all the house of Judah cling to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—to be my people, to bring me fame, praise, and honor. But they would not listen to me.
He penei i te whitiki e piri nei ki te hope o te tangata, pena tonu taku meatanga i te whare katoa o Iharaira, i te whare katoa o Hura, kia piri ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, kia waiho ai ratou hei iwi maku, hei ingoa, hei whakamoemiti, hei kororia; h eoi kihai ratou i rongo.
12 So you must speak this word to them, 'Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: Every jar will be filled with wine.' They will say to you, 'Do we not indeed know that every jar will be filled with wine?'
Na me korero tenei kupu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ka whakakiia katoatia nga pounamu ki te waina: a e mea ano ratou ki a koe, kihai ianei matou i tino mohio ka whakakiia katoatia nga pounamu ki te waina?
13 So say to them, 'Yahweh says this: See, I am about to fill with drunkenness every inhabitant of this land, the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ko reira koe mea ai ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tenei ahau te whakaki nei i nga tangata katoa o tenei whenua, ara i nga kingi e noho ana i runga i te torona o Rawiri, ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga poropiti, ko nga tangata katoa ano o Hi ruharama ki te haurangi.
14 Then I will smash each man against the other, fathers and children together—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will not pity them or have compassion, and I will not spare them from destruction.'”
Ka akina atu ano ratou e ahau tetahi ki tetahi, nga matua ngatahi ano ko nga tamariki, e ai ta Ihowa; e kore e tohungia e ahau, e kore e manawapatia, e kore e arohaina, kia kore ai ratou e ngaro i ahau.
15 Listen and pay attention. Do not be arrogant, for Yahweh had spoken.
Whakarongo, tahuri mai nga taringa; kaua e whakapehapeha; na Ihowa hoki te kupu.
16 Give honor to Yahweh your God before he brings darkness, and before he causes your feet to stumble on the mountains at twilight. For you are hoping for light, but he will turn the place into a deep darkness, into a dark cloud.
Whakakororiatia to koutou Atua, a Ihowa, i te mea kiano ia i whakapouri noa, i te mea kiano o koutou waewae i tutuki i runga i nga maunga pouri, i te mea hoki e tatari ana koutou ki te marama, na kua puta ke i a ia ko te atarangi o te mate, kua meinga kia pouri kerekere.
17 So if you will not listen, I will weep alone because of your arrogance. My eyes will certainly weep and flow with tears, for Yahweh's flock has been taken captive.
Tena ki te kore koutou e rongo, ka tangi toku wairua i nga wahi ngaro ki to koutou whakapehapeha: nui atu ano te tangi o toku kanohi, tarere iho ano nga roimata; no te mea ka whakaraua te kahui a Ihowa.
18 “Say to the king and to the queen mother, 'Come down from your thrones, for your splendid crowns have fallen from your heads.'
Mea atu ki te kingi raua ko te kuini, Whakaititia korua, e noho: no te mea ka riro iho o korua whakapaipai mahunga, te karauna o to korua kororia.
19 The cities in the Negev will be shut up, with no one to open them. All Judah will be taken captive, completely taken captive.
Ka tutakina nga pa o te tonga, kahore he kaiwhakatuwhera, ka whakaraua katoatia a Hura, poto rawa ki te whakarau.
20 Lift up your eyes and look at the ones coming from the north. Where is the flock he gave to you, the flock that was so beautiful to you?
E ara o koutou kanohi, tirohia te hunga e haere mai ana i te raki: kei hea te kahui i hoatu ki a koe? tau kahui ataahua na?
21 What will you say when God sets over you those you had trained to be your special allies? Are these not the beginnings of the labor pains that will seize you just like a woman in childbirth?
Ka pehea tau kupu ina whakanohoia e ia ou hoa ki runga ake i a koe hei mahunga, nau na hoki ratou i ako hei rangatira, hei ariki mou? E kore ianei koe e mau pu i te mamae, ano he wahine e whakawhanau ana?
22 Then you might say in your heart, 'Why are these things happening to me?' It will be for the multitude of your iniquities that your skirts are raised up and you have been violated.
Na ki te mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, He aha enei mea i pa ai ki ahau? Na te nui o tou kino i hurahia ai te remu o tou, i whakatupuria kinotia ai ou rekereke.
23 Can the people of Cush change their skin color, or a leopard change its spots? If so, then you yourself, although accustomed to wickedness, would be able to do good.
E taea ranei e te Etiopiana te whakaputa ke tona kiri, e te reparo ranei tona kotingotingo? me kore noa e taea te mahi pai e koutou kua taunga nei ki te mahi kino.
24 So I will scatter them like chaff that perishes in the desert wind.
Ka titaritaria ano ratou e ahau, ano he papapa e rere ana i runga i te hau o te koraha.
25 This is what I have given to you, the portion I have decreed for you—this is Yahweh's declaration— because you have forgotten me and trusted in deceit.
Ko te rota tena mau, ko te wahi i ruritia atu e ahau mou, e ai ta Ihowa; mou i wareware ki ahau, i whakawhirinaki ki te teka.
26 So also I myself will strip your skirts off you, and your private parts will be seen.
Ka hurahia hoki e ahau nga remu o tou ki runga ki tou kanohi, a ka kitea tou mea e whakama ai koe.
27 I have seen your adultery and neighing, the wickedness of your prostitution on the hills and in the fields, and I have seen these detestable things! Woe to you, Jerusalem! How long until you are made clean again?”
Kua kite ahau i ou whakarihariha, i ou puremutanga, tau tangi a hoiho, te weriweri o tou moepuku, i runga i nga pukepuke i te parae. Aue te mate mou, e Hiruharama! e kore nei koe e meinga kia ma; a hea rawa ra ano?
