1 ¶ The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Ko te kupu i pa mai ki a Heremaia he mea na Ihowa; i ki ia,
2 H ear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto every man of Judah and to every inhabitant of Jerusalem;
Whakarongo koutou ki nga kupu o tenei kawenata, korero hoki ki nga tangata o Hura ratou ko te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama;
3 a nd thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the LORD God of Israel said: Cursed be the man that does not hear the words of this covenant,
Mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ka kanga te tangata e kore e whakarongo ki nga kupu o tenei kawenata,
4 w hich I commanded your fathers the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying unto them, hear my voice and comply with my words according to all which I command you; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God
I whakahaua nei e ahau ki o koutou matua i te ra i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, i roto i te oumu rino; i ahau i ki ra, Whakarongo ki toku reo, mahia hoki aua mea, kia rite ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koutou; a ka wa iho koutou hei iwi maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo koutou:
5 t hat I may confirm the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, that I would give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then I answered, and said, Amen, O LORD.
Kia whakamana ai e ahau te oati i oatitia e ahau ki o koutou matua, kia hoatu ki a ratou he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi, penei me tenei ra. Katahi ka whakahoki ahau, ka mea, Koia ano tena, e Ihowa.
6 A nd the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant and do them.
Na ka ki mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Karangatia enei kupu katoa ki nga pa o Hura, ki nga ara ano o Hiruharama, mea atu, Whakarongo ki nga kupu o tenei kawenata, mahia hoki.
7 F or I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Hear my voice.
I tino whakatupato hoki ahau i o koutou matua i te ra i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, a taea noatia tenei ra, maranga wawe ana ahau, whakatupato ana; mea ana, Whakarongo ki toku reo.
8 Y et they did not hear, nor did they incline their ear, but walked each one in the imagination of their evil heart; therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.
Heoi kihai ratou i rongo, kihai i tahuri o ratou taringa; otiia haere ana ratou, ia tangata, ia tangata, i runga i nga tikanga pakeke a tona ngakau kino: mo reira ka takina e ahau ki a ratou nga kupu katoa o tenei kawenata i whakahaua nei e ahau kia mahia, a kihai nei i mahia e ratou.
9 A nd the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
I mea ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Kua kitea te he e whakatakotoria ana e nga tangata o Hura, e te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama.
10 T hey have returned to the iniquities of their first fathers, who refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
Kua hokia e ratou nga he o o ratou matua o mua, kihai nei i pai ki te whakarongo ki aku kupu, haere ana ratou ki te whai i nga atua ke, mahi ana ki a ratou: kua whakataka e te whare o Iharaira ratou ko te whare o Hura taku kawenata i whakaritea e ahau ki o ratou matua.
11 ¶ Therefore thus hath the LORD said, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tenei te takina nei e ahau ki a ratou, he he; e kore ano ratou e mawhiti; ka karanga ano ratou ki ahau, otiia e kore ahau e rongo ki a ratou.
12 T hen shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense, who shall not be able to save them in the time of their trouble.
A ka haere nga pa o Hura me nga tangata o Hiruharama, ka karanga ki nga atua e tahu whakakakara nei ratou ki a ratou: hore rawa ia a ratou whakaora mo ratou i te wa e raru ai.
13 F or according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of thy streets, O Jerusalem, have ye set up altars of confusion, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.
I rite hoki ou atua, e Hura, ki ou pa te maha; me nga aata i hanga e koutou ma taua mea whakama, rite tonu ki nga ara o Hiruharama te maha, ara nga aata tahu whakakakara ki a Paara.
14 T herefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me in their trouble.
Heoi kaua e inoi mo tenei iwi; kei ara hoki tetahi tangi, tetahi kupu wawao mo ratou; no te mea e kore ahau e rongo i te wa e karanga ai ratou ki ahau, ina raru ratou.
15 W hat part has my beloved in my house, seeing she has wrought lewdness with many? The holy flesh shall pass from upon thee, for in thy evil thou didst glory.
Ko te aha ma taku wahine aroha i roto i toku whare, kua mahi he nei hoki ia, he tini nga hoa, a kua kore te kikokiko tapu i a koe? i tau mahinga i te kino, na, kei te whakamanamana koe.
16 T he LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and in appearance. At the voice of a great word he caused fire to be kindled upon it, and they broke her branches.
I huaina e Ihowa tou ingoa, Ko te oriwa matomato, ataahua, hua papai: nui atu te reo ngangau i tahuna ai e ia te ahi mona, kua whatiwhatiia ona manga.
17 F or the LORD of the hosts, that planted thee, has pronounced evil against thee for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
Kua korerotia nei hoki e Ihowa o nga mano, e tou kaiwhakato, he he mou, hei utu mo te kino o te whare o Iharaira raua ko te whare o Hura, i mahia nei e ratou hei he mo ratou, hei whakapatari i ahau, i a ratou ka tahu whakakakara nei ki a Paara.
18 ¶ And the LORD gave me knowledge of it, and I experienced it: then thou didst show me their doings.
I meinga ano ahau e Ihowa kia mohio ki taua mea, a mohio ana ahau: i whakakitea mai ano e koe ki ahau a ratou mahi.
19 B ut I was like a ram or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; for I did not understand that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living that his name may no longer be remembered.
Ko ahau ia i rite ki te reme, e arahina ana kia patua; kihai i mohio, e hanga whakaaro ana ratou moku, e mea ana, Kia kore i a tatou te rakau me ona kua, kia tapahia atu ia i runga i te whenua o te hunga ora, kia kore ai he maharatanga ki tona i ngoa.
20 B ut, O LORD of the hosts, that judges righteously, that tries the kidneys and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them, for unto thee I have uncovered my cause.
Tena, e Ihowa o nga mano, kei runga nei hoki i te tika tau whakawa, e whakamatau ana koe i nga whatumanawa, i te ngakau, kia kite ahau i tau rapunga utu i a ratou: kua whakakitea atu nei hoki e ahau taku totohe ki a koe.
21 T herefore, thus hath the LORD said regarding the men of Anathoth that seek thy life, saying, Do not prophesy in the name of the LORD that thou not die by our hand;
Heoi ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa mo nga tangata o Anatoto e whai nei kia whakamatea koe, e mea nei, Kaua e poropiti i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, kei mate koe i to matou ringa:
22 t herefore, thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, Behold, I visit: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Tenei ahau te whiu nei i a ratou: ka mate nga taitamariki i te hoari; ko a ratou tama, ko a ratou tamahine, ka mate i te hemokai.
23 a nd there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
E kore ratou e whai morehu; no te mea ka kawea e ahau he kino ki nga tangata o Anatoto, ara ko te tau e whiua ai ratou.
