Jeremias 25

Kua Kitea Kētia te Noho Herehere i Papurōna

1 Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia mō te iwi katoa o Hūrā i te whā o ngā tau o Iehoiakimi tama a Hōhia kīngi o Hūrā (ko te tau tuatahi tērā o Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna). 2 I kōrerotia taua mea e Heremaia, e te poropiti, ki te iwi katoa o Hūrā, ki ngā tāngata katoa hoki o Hiruhārama, i kī ia: 3 Nō te tekau mā toru o ngā tau o Hōhia tama a Amono kīngi o Hūrā, ā tae noa mai ki tēnei rā, ka rua tekau mā toru ēnei ngā tau, te putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, me tāku kōrero anō ki a koutou, moata ai i te ata, ā, ka kōrero; heoi kīhai koutou i rongo.

4 Nā, kua ungā e Ihowā āna pononga katoa, ngā poropiti ki a koutou, moata ai i ngā ata, ā, ka unga i a rātou; heoi kīhai koutou i rongo, kīhai anō ō koutou taringa i anga ki te whakarongo; 5 i mea rātou, "Tahuri mai koutou, e tērā, e tērā i tōna ara kino, i te kino hoki o ā koutou mahi, ā, e noho ki te oneone i hōmai e Ihowā ki a koutou ko ō koutou mātua, onamata ā ake ake. 6 Kaua hoki e whāia he atua kē, kaua e mahi ki a rātou, kaua e koropiko ki a rātou, kaua hoki ahau e whakapātaritaria ki te mahi a ō koutou ringa; ā, e kore koutou e hē i ahau."

7 "Heoi, kīhai koutou i rongo ki ahau," e ai tā Ihowā; "he mea kia whakapātaritaria ai ahau ki te mahi a ō koutou ringa, hei hē anō mō koutou."

8 Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano: "Nā, kīhai nā koutou i rongo ki āku kupu, 9 nanā, ka unga tāngata ahau ki te tiki i ngā hapū katoa o te raki," e ai tā Ihowā, "ā, ka unga tāngata ahau ki tāku pononga, ki a Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna, ā, ka kawea mai rātou ki tēnei whenua, ki ōna tāngata hoki, ā, ki ngā iwi katoa nei ā tawhio noa; ka tino whakangaromia rātou e ahau, ka meinga hei mīharotanga, hei whakahīanga atu, hei ururua tūturu. 10 Ka tangohia atu hoki e ahau i a rātou te reo o te koa, te reo o te hari, te reo o te tāne mārena hou, te reo o te wahine mārena hou, te haruru o ngā kōhatu mira, te mārama hoki o te rama. 11 Ā, ka waiho tēnei whenua katoa hei ururua, hei keteketenga; ā, ka mahi ēnei iwi ki te kīngi o Papurōna, e whitu tekau tau.

12 "Ā, ka rite ngā tau e whitu tekau, ka whiua e ahau te kīngi o Papurōna me taua iwi," e ai tā Ihowā, "mō tō rātou kino, me te whenua hoki o ngā Karari; ka meinga a reira e ahau kia ururua ā ake ake. 13 Ka kawea hoki e ahau ki runga ki taua whenua āku kupu katoa i kōrerotia e ahau mō reira, ngā mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki tēnei pukapuka, kua poropititia nei e Heremaia mō aua iwi katoa. 14 Ka whakamahia hoki rātou, āe rā, rātou e ngā iwi maha, e ngā kīngi nunui hoki; ā, ka rite ki ā rātou hanga, ki te mahi hoki a ō rātou ringa tāku utu ki a rātou."

Te Kapu o te Riri o Ihowā

15 Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā, a te Atua o Īharaira ki ahau: "Tangohia te kapu wāina o tēnei riri i tōku ringa, whakainumia mā ngā iwi katoa ka ungā nei koe e ahau ki a rātou. 16 Ā, ka inu rātou, hūrori atu, hūrori mai, ka haurangi, i te hoari e ungā e ahau ki waenganui i a rātou."

17 Kātahi ahau ka tango i te kapu i te ringa o Ihowā, whakainumia ana mā ngā iwi katoa i ungā nei ahau e Ihowā ki a rātou: 18 arā mā Hiruhārama, mā ngā pā o Hūrā, mā ōna kīngi, ā, mā ōna rangatira, kia meinga ai rātou hei ururua, hei mīharotanga, hei whakahīanga, hei kanga; hei pēnei me tō tēnei rā; 19 mā Parao kīngi o Īhipa, rātou ko āna tāngata, ko āna rangatira, ko tōna iwi katoa; 20 mā ngā iwi i whakaranua, mā ngā kīngi katoa o te whenua o Uhu, mā ngā kīngi katoa o te whenua o ngā Pirihitini – mā Ahakerono, mā Kaha, mā Ekerono, mā ngā mōrehu anō o Aharoro; 21 mā Ēroma, mā Moapa, mā ngā tama a Āmona; 22 mā ngā kīngi katoa o Tāira, mā ngā kīngi katoa o Hairona, mā ngā kīngi o te motu i tērā taha o te moana; 23 mā Rerana, mā Tema, mā Putu, mā te hunga katoa e tapahia ana ngā tapa o ō rātou makawe; 24 mā ngā kīngi katoa o Arāpia, mā ngā kīngi katoa o te iwi i whakaranua, e noho ana i te koraha; 25 mā ngā kīngi katoa o Tīmiri, mā ngā kīngi katoa o Erama, mā ngā kīngi katoa o ngā Meri. 26 Mā ngā kīngi katoa o te raki, mā ngā mea e tata ana, mā ngā mea, i tawhiti, mā tētahi, mā tētahi; mā ngā kīngitanga katoa hoki o te ao, i te mata o te oneone. Ā, ka inu te kīngi o Hehaka i muri i a rātou.

27 "Me kī anō e koe ki a rātou, ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano, a te Atua o Īharaira: E inu koutou, ā, haurangi iho, ruaki, e hinga ki raro, kaua e ara mai anō ki runga, i te hoari hoki e ungā e ahau ki waenganui i a koutou.’ 28 Nā, ki te kore rātou e pai ki te tango i te kapu i roto i tōu ringa kia inumia, kātahi koe ka mea ki a rātou, ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano: Me inu rawa nei e koutou. 29 Nō te mea, nanā, ka tīmata ahau ki te whakatupu kino i te pā i huaina nei tōku ingoa mō reira; ā, kia tukua koutou kia kāhore rawa e whiua? E kore rā koutou e kore te whiua; nō te mea ka karangatia e ahau he hoari ki runga ki ngā tāngata katoa o te whenua, e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano.’

30 "Mō reira me poropiti e koe ēnei kupu katoa ki a rātou, mea atu ki a rātou:

‘Ka hāmama mai a Ihowā i te wāhi tiketike,

ka puaki mai tōna reo i tōna kāinga tapu;

ka tino nui tāna hāmama ki tāna taiepa hipi;

ka umere ia, ka pērā i tā ngā kaitakahi karepe,

ki ngā tāngata katoa o te whenua.

31 Ka pakū te ngangau ki te pito rā anō o te whenua;

nō te mea he totohe tā Ihowā ki ngā iwi,

ka whakawākia e ia ngā kikokiko katoa;

ko te hunga kino, ka tukua e ia ki te hoari,’ "

e ai tā Ihowā.

32 Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano:

"Ka puta atu he kino

i tētahi iwi ki tētahi iwi,

ā, ka whakatutūtia he tūkauati nui

i ngā pito rawa o te whenua!"

33 Nā, ko ngā tūpāpaku a Ihowā ka takoto i taua rā i tētahi pito o te whenua tae noa ki tētahi pito o te whenua. E kore hoki rātou e tangihia, e kore anō e kohikohia, e tanumia rānei; hei whakawairākau rātou ki te mata o te whenua.

34 Auē, e ngā hēpara, hāmama;

okeoke i roto i te pungarehu, e ngā metararahi o te kāhui.

Kua tae mai hoki ngā rā mō koutou kia patupatua,

ā, ka tukitukia koutou e ahau mongamonga noa,

ā, ka taka koutou ānō he oko i matenuitia.

35 Ā, ka kore he wāhi hei rerenga mō ngā hēpara,

kāhore he mawhititanga mō ngā metararahi o te kāhui.

36 He reo nō te tangi o ngā hēpara,

he auē nō ngā metararahi o te kāhui!

Nō te mea e pāhuatia ana e Ihowā tō rātou haerenga hipi,

37 ā, ka meinga kia nohopuku ngā nohoanga hipi hūmārie;

nō te mea ka mura te riri o Ihowā.

38 Ka whakarērea e ia tōna kuhunga, ka pērā i te raiona;

ka waiho hoki tō rātou whenua hei mīharotanga

i te taikaha o te hoari tūkino,

i te muranga o tōna riri.

1 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 (the same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon), 2 which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: 3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of Jehovah hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising up early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. 4 And Jehovah hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, (but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear), 5 saying, Return ye now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah hath given unto you and to your fathers, from of old and even for evermore; 6 and go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. 7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Jehovah; that ye may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt. 8 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Because ye have not heard my words, 9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and I will send unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations. 10 Moreover I will take from them 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 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith Jehovah, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate for ever. 13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. 14 For many nations and great kings shall make bondmen of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.

15 For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. 16 And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 17 Then took I the cup at Jehovah’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom Jehovah had sent me: 18 to wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day; 19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; 20 and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod; 21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon; 22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea; 23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners of their hair cut off; 24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the wilderness; 25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes; 26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

27 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. 28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall surely drink. 29 For, lo, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts.

30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. 31 A noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, saith Jehovah.

32 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth. 33 And the slain of Jehovah shall be at 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 dung upon the face of the ground. 34 Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow in ashes, ye principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and ye shall fall like a goodly vessel. 35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. 36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principal of the flock! for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture. 37 And the peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Jehovah. 38 He hath left his covert, as the lion; for their land is become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing sword, and because of his fierce anger.
