Heremaia 37
1 Na kua kingi a Terekia tama a Hohia, i muri i a Konia tama a Iehoiakimi, i whakakingitia nei e Nepukareha kingi o Papurona ki te whenua o Hura.
THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS FROM THE LORD, SAYING,
2 Otiia kihai ia i whakarongo, ratou ko ana tangata, ko te iwi ano hoki o te whenua, ki nga kupu a Ihowa i korerotia e Heremaia poropiti.
Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.
3 Na ka unga e Terekia, e te kingi, a Iehukara tama a Heremia raua ko Tepania tama a Maaheia tohunga ki a Heremaia poropiti, hei ki atu, Tena koa, inoi mo tatou ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua.
For, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, said the Lord: and I will bring them back to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall be lords of it.
4 Na, ko Heremaia, i te haere mai, i te haere atu i roto i te iwi: kahore hoki ia i maka ki te whare herehere.
AND THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE CONCERNING ISRAEL AND JUDA;
5 Na kua puta mai te taua a Parao i Ihipa; a, no te rongonga o nga Karari i whakapae ra i Hiruharama i to ratou rongo, ka maunu atu ratou i Hiruharama.
Thus said the Lord: You shall hear a sound of fear, [there is] fear, and there is not peace.
6 Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia poropiti; i mea ia,
Enquire, and see if a male has born a child? and [ask] concerning the fear, wherein they shall hold their loins, and [look for] safety: for I have seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; [their] faces are turned to paleness.
7 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira: Kia penei ta korua korero atu ki te kingi o Hura, nana nei korua i unga mai ki te rapu tikanga i ahau; Nana, ko te ope a Parao i puta mai ra hei awhina mo koutou, ka hoki ki tona whenua, ki Ihipa.
For that day is great, and there is not such [another]; and it is a time of straitness to Jacob; but he shall be saved out of it.
8 A ka hoki mai nga Karari, ka tatau ki tenei pa, ka horo hoki i a ratou, ka tahuna ki te ahi.
In that day, said the Lord, I will break the yoke off their neck, and will burst their bonds, and they shall no longer serve strangers:
9 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kei tinihanga i a koutou ano, kei mea, Ka haere rawa atu nga Karari i a tatou: no te mea e kore ratou e haere.
but they shall serve the Lord their God; and I will raise up to them David their king.
10 Ahakoa me i patua e koutou te ope katoa o nga Karari e tatau na ki a koutou, a toe ake o ratou ko etahi tangata taotu, ka whakatika ano ratou i tona teneti, i tona teneti, a ka tahu i tenei pa ki te ahi.
11 Na, i te whatinga atu o te ope o nga Karari i Hiruharama i te wehi ki te ope a Parao,
12 Katahi a Heremaia ka puta atu i Hiruharama, he haere ki te whenua o Pineamine, kia riro mai te wahi mana i reira, i roto i te iwi.
Thus says the Lord; I have brought on [you] destruction; your stroke is painful.
13 A, i a ia i te kuwaha o Pineamine, i reira tetahi rangatira tiaki, ko tona ingoa ko Iriia, he tama na Heremia tama a Hanania; heoi hopukia ana a Heremaia e ia, me te ki ano, E tahuti atu ana koe ki nga Karari.
There is none to judge your cause: you have been painfully treated for healing, there is no help for you.
14 Katahi ka mea a Heremaia, He teka; kahore aku tahuti ki nga Karari. Otiia kihai ia i rongo ki tana: na hopukia ana a Heremaia e Iriia, kawea ana ki nga rangatira.
All your friends have forgotten you; they shall not ask [about you] at all, for I have struck you with he stroke of an enemy, [even] severe correction: your sins have abounded above all your iniquity.
15 Na riri ana nga rangatira ki a Heremaia, whiua ana ia e ratou, tukua ana ki te whare herehere, ki te whare o Honatana kaituhituhi: kua waiho hoki tera e ratou hei whare herehere.
Your sins have abounded beyond the multitude of your iniquities, [therefore] they have done these things to you. Therefore all that devour you shall be eaten, and all your enemies shall eat all their [own] flesh.
16 I te taenga o Heremaia ki roto ki te whare herehere, ki roto ki nga ruma, a ka maha nga ra e noho ana a Heremaia ki reira;
And they that spoil you shall become a spoil, and I will give up to be plundered all that have plundered you.
17 Katahi a Kingi Terekia ka unga tangata ki te tiki i a ia. Na ka ui puku te kingi ki a ia, i roto i tona whare, ka mea, He kupu ano ranei ta Ihowa? A ka mea a Heremaia, Tenei ano. I mea ano ia, Ka hoatu koe ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona.
For I will bring about your healing, I will heal you of your grievous wound, says the Lord; for you are called Dispersed: she is your prey, for no one seeks after her.
18 Na i mea atu ano a Heremaia ki a Kingi Terekia, He aha toku hara ki a koe, ki au tangata ranei, ki tenei iwi ranei, i tukua ai ahau e koutou ki te whare herehere?
Thus said the Lord; Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob, and will have pity upon his prisoners; and the city shall be built upon her hill, and the people shall settle after their manner.
19 Kei hea a koutou poropiti i poropiti ra ki a koutou, i mea ra, E kore te kingi o Papurona e tae mai ki a koutou, ki tenei whenua ranei?
And there shall go forth from them singers, [even] the sound of men making merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not at all be diminished.
20 Na, whakarongo aianei, e toku ariki, e te kingi: tukua atu koa taku inoi kia manaakitia ki tou aroaro; kia kaua ahau e whakahokia ki te whare o Honatana kaituhituhi, kei mate ahau ki reira.
And their sons shall go in as before, and their testimonies shall be established before me, and I will visit them that afflict them.
21 Na ka whakahaua e Kingi Terekia, a ka kawea a Heremaia ki te marae o te whare herehere, a ka hoatu e ratou mana he rohi taro i tenei ra, i tenei ra, no te ara o nga kaitunu taro, a pau noa te taro katoa o te pa. Na noho ana a Heremaia i te marae o te whare herehere.
And their mighty ones shall be over them, and their prince shall proceed of themselves; and I will gather them, and they shall return to me: for who is this that has set his heart to return to me? says the Lord.
For the wrathful anger of the lord has gone forth, [even] a whirlwind of anger has gone forth: it shall come upon the ungodly.
The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he shall execute [it], and until he shall establish the purpose of his heart: in the latter days you shall know these things.
