1 K o te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia mo te iwi katoa o Hura i te wha o nga tau o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura; ko te tau tuatahi tera o Nepukareha kingi o Papurona;

¶ The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, which is the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;

2 I korerotia taua mea e Heremaia, e te poropiti, ki te iwi katoa o Hura, ki nga tangata katoa hoki o Hiruharama; i ki ia,

this spoke Jeremiah the prophet unto all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,

3 N o te tekau ma toru o nga tau o Hohia tama a Amono kingi o Hura, a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, ka rua tekau ma toru enei nga tau, te putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, me taku korero ano ki a koutou, moata ai i te ata a ka korero; heoi kihai kou tou i rongo.

From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, which are twenty-three years, the word of the LORD has come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and giving notice; but ye have not hearkened.

4 N a kua unga e Ihowa ana pononga katoa, nga poropiti ki a koutou, moata ai i nga ata a ka unga i a ratou; heoi kihai koutou i rongo, kihai ano o koutou taringa i anga ki te whakarongo;

And the LORD has sent unto you all his slaves the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear,

5 I mea ratou, Tahuri mai koutou, e tera, e tera i tona ara kino, i te kino hoki o a koutou mahi, a e noho ki te oneone i homai e Ihowa ki a koutou ko o koutou matua, onamata a ake ake.

when they said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD has given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:

6 K aua hoki e whaia he atua ke, kaua e mahi ki a ratou, kaua e koropiko ki a ratou, kaua hoki ahau e whakapataritaria ki te mahi a o koutou ringa; a e kore koutou e he i ahau.

and do not go after other gods to serve them and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

7 H eoi kihai koutou i rongo ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa; he mea kia whakapataritaria ai ahau ki te mahi a o koutou ringa, hei he ano mo koutou.

Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD, that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.

8 M o reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Na kihai na koutou i rongo ki aku kupu,

¶ Therefore thus saith the LORD of the hosts: Because ye have not heard my words,

9 N ana, ka unga tangata ahau ki te tiki i nga hapu katoa o te raki, e ai ta Ihowa, a ka unga tangata ahau ki taku pononga, ki a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka kawea mai ratou ki tenei whenua, ki ona tangata hoki, a ki nga iwi katoa nei a tawhio noa; ka tino whakangaromia ratou e ahau, ka meinga hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga atu, hei ururua tuturu.

behold, I will send and take all the families of the north wind, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my slave, and will bring them against this land and against its inhabitants and against all these nations round about and will utterly destroy them and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.

10 K a tangohia atu hoki e ahau i a ratou te reo o te koa, te reo o te hari, te reo o te tane marena hou, te reo o te wahine marena hou, te haruru o nga kohatu mira, te marama hoki o te rama.

And I will cause them to lose the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.

11 A ka waiho tenei whenua katoa hei ururua, hei keteketenga; a ka mahi enei iwi ki te kingi o Papurona, e whitu tekau tau.

And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment; and these Gentiles shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

12 A ka rite nga tau e whitu tekau, ka whiua e ahau te kingi o Papurona me taua iwi, e ai ta Ihowa, mo to ratou kino, me te whenua hoki o nga Karari; ka meinga a reira e ahau kia ururua a ake ake.

And it shall come to pass when seventy years are accomplished, that I will visit upon the king of Babylon and upon that people their own evil, said the LORD and upon the land of the Chaldeans and will make it perpetual desolations.

13 K a kawea hoki e ahau ki runga ki taua whenua aku kupu katoa i korerotia e ahau mo reira, nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki tenei pukapuka, kua poropititia nei e Heremaia mo aua iwi katoa.

And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have spoken against it, with all that is written in this book, prophesied by Jeremiah against all the Gentiles.

14 K a whakamahia hoki ratou, ae ra, ratou e nga iwi maha, e nga kingi nunui hoki: a ka rite ki a ratou hanga, ki te mahi hoki a o ratou ringa taku utu ki a ratou.

For many Gentiles and great kings shall serve themselves of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds and according to the works of their own hands.

15 K o te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua, o Iharaira ki ahau, Tangohia te kapu waina o tenei riri i toku ringa, whakainumia ma nga iwi katoa ka unga nei koe e ahau ki a ratou.

¶ For thus hath the LORD God of Israel said unto me: Take the wine cup of this fury from my hand and cause all the Gentiles, to whom I send thee, to drink of it.

16 A ka inu ratou, hurori atu, hurori mai, ka haurangi, i te hoari e unga e ahau ki waenganui i a ratou.

And they shall drink and be moved and become mad, before the sword that I will send among them.

17 K atahi ahau ka tango i te kapu i te ringa o Ihowa, whakainumia ana ma nga iwi katoa i unga nei ahau e Ihowa ki a ratou:

Then took I the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the Gentiles to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me,

18 A ra ma Hiruharama, ma nga pa o Hura, ma ona kingi, a ma ona rangatira, kia meinga ai ratou hei ururua, hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga, hei kanga; hei penei me to tenei ra;

unto Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah and to its kings and to its princes, that I might place them into desolation, into astonishment, and into hissing, and into a curse, as this day,

19 M a Parao kingi o Ihipa, ratou ko ana tangata, ko ana rangatira, ko tona iwi katoa;

unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his slaves and to his princes and to all his people,

20 M a nga iwi i whakaranua, ma nga kingi katoa o te whenua o Uhu, ma nga kingi katoa o te whenua o nga Pirihitini, ma Ahakarono, ma Kaha, ma Ekerono, ma nga morehu ano o Aharoro:

and to all the mingled people and to all the kings of the land of Uz and to all the kings of the land of the Philistines and to Ashkelon and to Gaza and to Ekron and to the remnant of Ashdod,

21 M a Eroma, ma Moapa, ma nga tama a Amona;

to Edom and to Moab and to the sons of Ammon,

22 M a nga kingi katoa o Taira, ma nga kingi katoa o Hairona, ma nga kingi o te motu i tera taha o te moana;

and to all the kings of Tyre and to all the kings of Zidon and to all the kings of the isles which are of that side of the sea,

23 M a Rerana, ma Tema, ma Putu, ma te hunga katoa e tapahia ana nga tapa o o ratou makawe;

and to Dedan, and to Tema and to Buz and to all that are in the utmost corners,

24 M a nga kingi katoa o Arapia, ma nga kingi katoa o te iwi i whakaranua, e noho ana i te koraha;

and to all the kings of Arabia and to all the kings of the mingled peoples, the Arabia that dwells in the desert,

25 M a nga kingi katoa o Timiri, ma nga kingi katoa o Erama, ma nga kingi katoa o nga Meri.

and to all the kings of Zimri and to all the kings of Elam and to all the kings of the Medes,

26 M a nga kingi katoa o te raki, ma nga mea e tata ana, ma nga mea i tawhiti, ma tetahi, ma tetahi; ma nga kingitanga katoa hoki o te ao, i te mata o te oneone: a ka inu te kingi o Hehaka i muri i a ratou.

and to all the kings of the north wind, those of far and those of near, one with another and to all the kingdoms of the earth, which are upon the face of the earth and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

27 M e ki ano e koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; E inu koutou, a haurangi iho, ruaki, e hinga ki raro, kaua e ara mai ano ki runga, i te hoari hoki e unga e ahau ki waenganui i a koutou.

Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the LORD of the hosts, the God of Israel said; Drink and be drunken, and vomit and fall, and ye shall not rise in the presence of the sword which I send among you.

28 N a, ki te kore ratou e pai ki te tango i te kapu i roto i tou ringa kia inumia, katahi koe ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; Me inu rawa nei e koutou.

And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from thine hand to drink, then thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said: Ye must certainly drink.

29 N o te mea, nana, ka timata ahau ki te whakatupu kino i te pa i huaina nei toku ingoa mo reira: a kia tukua koutou kia kahore rawa e whiua? E kore ra koutou e kore te whiua: no te mea ka karangatia e ahau he hoari ki runga ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

For, Behold, I begin to bring evil upon the city which is called by my name, and should ye only be absolved? Ye shall not be absolved, for I bring the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, said the LORD of the hosts.

30 M o reira me poropiti e koe enei kupu katoa ki a ratou, mea atu ki a ratou, Ka hamama mai a Ihowa i te wahi tiketike, ka puaki mai tona reo i tona kainga tapu; ka tino nui tana hamama ki tana taiepa hipi; ka umere ia, ka pera i ta nga kaitakahi k arepe, ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua.

¶ Therefore, thou shalt prophesy against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high and from the habitation of his holiness he shall utter his voice; in fury he shall roar upon his habitation; he shall sing the song of those that tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

31 K a paku te ngangau ki te pito ra ano o te whenua; no te mea he totohe ta Ihowa ki nga iwi, ka whakawakia e ia nga kikokiko katoa; ko te hunga kino, ka tukua e ia ki te hoari, e ai ta Ihowa.

The noise came even to the ends of the earth; for it is judgment of the LORD with the Gentiles; he is the Judge of all flesh; he will give those that are wicked to the sword, said the LORD.

32 K o te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Ka puta atu he kino i tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, a ka whakatututia he tukauati nui i nga pito rawa o te whenua.

Thus saith the LORD of the hosts, Behold, the evil goes forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

33 N a, ko nga tupapaku a Ihowa ka takoto i taua ra i tetahi pito o te whenua tae noa ki tetahi pito o te whenua: e kore hoki ratou e tangihia, e kore ano e kohikohia, e tanumia ranei; hei whakawairakau ratou ki te mata o te whenua.

And the slain of the LORD shall be in that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be as dung upon the ground.

34 A ue, e nga hepara, hamama; okeoke i roto i te pungarehu, e nga metararahi o te kahui: kua tae mai hoki nga ra mo koutou kia patupatua, a ka tukitukia koutou e ahau mongamonga noa, a ka taka koutou ano he oko i matenuitia.

Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the dust, ye principals of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like an enticing vessel.

35 A ka kore he wahi hei rerenga mo nga hepara, kahore he mawhititanga mo nga metararahi o te kahui.

And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor for the principals of the flock to escape.

36 H e reo no te tangi o nga hepara, he aue no nga metararahi o te kahui! no te mea e pahuatia ana e Ihowa to ratou haerenga hipi.

The voice of the cry of the shepherds and a howling of the principals of the flock shall be heard! For the LORD has spoiled their pasture.

37 A ka meinga kia nohopuku nga nohoanga hipi humarie; no te mea ka mura te riri o Ihowa.

And the quiet pastures shall be cut off by the fierce anger of the LORD.

38 K a whakarerea e ia tona kuhunga, ka pera i te raiona; ka waiho hoki to ratou whenua hei miharotanga i te taikaha o te hoari tukino, i te muranga o tona riri.

He has forsaken his habitation, as the young lion; for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor and because of his fierce anger.
