1 T he word that came to Jeremiah 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 Lord’s house and proclaim there this word and say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, all you of Judah, who enter by 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 T hus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “ Amend your ways and your deeds, 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 D o not trust in deceptive words, saying, ‘ This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, 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 F or if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly practice justice between a man and his neighbor,
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 i f you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own ruin,
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 t hen I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
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 “ Behold, you are trusting in deceptive words to no avail.
Nana, kei te whakawhirinaki na koutou ki nga kupu teka, kahore nei he pai.
9 W ill you steal, murder, and commit adultery and swear falsely, and offer sacrifices to Baal and walk after other gods that you have not known,
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 t hen come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—that you may do 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 H as this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” declares 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 now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I made My name dwell at the first, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness 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 A nd now, because you have done all these things,” declares the Lord, “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you but you did not answer,
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 t herefore, I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave you and your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
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 I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, all the offspring 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 “ As for you, do not pray for this people, and do not lift up cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with Me; for I do not hear you.
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 D o you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Kahore ianei koe i te kite i ta ratou e mea nei i nga pa o Hura, i nga ara ano o Hiruharama?
18 T he children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods in order to spite Me.
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 D o they spite Me?” declares the Lord. “Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?”
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 T herefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, My anger and My wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and on beast and on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and not be 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 T hus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat 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 F or I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings 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 B ut this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘ Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with 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 Y et they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward.
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 S ince the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets, daily rising early 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 Y et they did not listen to Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck; they did more evil than 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 “ You shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, but they will not answer you.
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 Y ou shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept correction; truth has perished and has been cut off from 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 your hair and cast it away, And take up a lamentation on the bare heights; For the Lord has rejected 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 F or the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight,” declares the Lord, “they have set their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile 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 T hey have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, and it did not come into My mind.
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, behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of the Slaughter; for they will bury in Topheth because there is no other 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 T he dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the sky and for the beasts of the earth; and no one will frighten 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 T hen I will make to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will become a ruin.
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.
