1 Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia, he mea na Ihowa, i te tekau o nga tau o Terekia kingi o Hura, ara i te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Nepukareha.
2 Na i taua wa e whakapaea ana a Hiruharama e te taua a te kingi o Papurona; a ko Heremaia poropiti kua oti te tutaki ki roto ki te marae o te whare herehere i te whare o te kingi o Hura.
3 Na Terekia hoki, na te kingi o Hura ia i tutaki; i mea tera, He aha koe i poropiti ai, i ki ai, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau tenei pa ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, a ka horo i a ia;
4 A ko Terekia kingi o Hura, e kore e mawhiti i te ringa o nga Karari; engari ka tukua putia ia ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, a ka korero ia ki a ia he mangai ki te mangai, a e kite hoki ona kanohi i ona kanohi;
5 A ka arahina e ia a Terekia ki Papurona, a ki reira ia noho ai, kia tae atu ra ano ahau ki te tirotiro i a ia, e ai ta Ihowa; ahakoa whawhai koutou ki nga Karari, e kore e taea e koutou?
6 Na ka mea a Heremaia, I puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea ia,
7 Nana, tera e tae mai ki a koe a Hanameere tama a Harumu, a tou matua keke, a ka mea, Mau e hoko taku mara i Anatoto; kei a koe na hoki te tikanga o te utu whakahoki.
8 Na ka haere mai ki ahau a Hanameere tama a toku matua keke, ka pera me ta Ihowa i ki ai, ki te marae o te whare herehere, a ka mea ki ahau, Tena koa, hokona taku mara i Anatoto, i te whenua o Pineamine; kei a koe hoki te tikanga o taua wahi, mau ano te utu e hoki ai; hokona mau. Katahi ahau ka mohio, he kupu tenei na Ihowa.
9 Na ka hokona e ahau te mara a Hanameere tama a toku matua, keke, tera i Anatoto, a paunatia atu ana e ahau te moni mana, ara tekau ma whitu nga hekere hiriwa.
10 Na ka tuhituhi ahau ki te pukapuka, hiri rawa, karangatia ana nga kaititiro, a paunatia atu ana e ahau te moni mana ki te pauna.
11 Na ka mau ahau ki te pukapuka o te hoko, ki te mea hiri i rite nei ki ta te ture, ki ta nga tikanga, a ki te mea hirikore:
12 A hoatu ana e ahau te pukapuka o te hoko ki a Paruku tama a Neria, tama a Maaheia i te tirohanga ano a Hanameere tama a toku matua keke, i te tirohanga hoki a nga kaititiro i tuhituhia ai te pukapuka o te hoko, i te tirohanga ano hoki a nga Hura i katoa e noho ana i te marae o te whare herehere.
13 Na ka whakahau ahau ki a Paruku i o ratou aroaro, i mea atu ahau,
14 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Maua atu enei pukapuka, tenei pukapuka o te hoko, te mea hiri me tenei pukapuka hirikore, whaowhina ki te oko oneone; kia maha ai nga ra e mau ai.
15 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, Tera nga whare, nga mara, me nga mara waina ka hokohokona ano a muri nei ki tenei whenua.
16 Na, i muri i taku hoatutanga i te pukapuka o te hoko ki a Paruku tama a Neria, ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa, ka mea,
17 Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, nana, kua hanga e koe te rangi me te whenua, na tou kaha nui, na tou ringa maro; kahore he mea e pakeke ki a koe:
18 He mahi aroha nei tau ki nga mano, e utua ana e koe te kino o nga matua ki roto ki te uma o a ratou tamariki i muri i a ratou: ko tona ingoa ko te Atua nui, ko te Atua marohirohi, ko Ihowa o nga mano:
19 He nui ki te whakaaro, he kaha ki te mahi: e tuwhera ana hoki ona kanohi ki nga ara katoa o nga tama a te tangata; he mea kia rite ai ki tona ara ake, ki nga hua o ana mahi, nga mea e hoatu ai ki tenei, ki tenei:
20 Nau nei i homai nga tohu me nga mea whakamiharo ki te whenua o Ihipa, a taea noatia tenei ra, i roto i a Iharaira, i era atu hoki; a meinga ana e koe he ingoa mou, penei i tenei inaianei;
21 Nau nei hoki i kawe mai tau iwi, a Iharaira, i te whenua o Ihipa i runga i nga tohu, i nga mea whakamiharo, i te ringa kaha, i te takakau maro hoki, i te wehi nui;
22 A homai ana e koe ki a ratou tenei whenua i oati ai koe ki o ratou matua ka homai ki a ratou, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi;
23 Na haere mai ana ratou, a riro ana a konei i a ratou; heoi kihai ratou i rongo ki tou reo, kihai hoki i haere i runga i tau ture; kihai rawa i mahia e ratou tetahi o nga mea i whakahaua e koe ki a ratou kia mahia: koia i meinga ai e koe tenei ki no katoa kia pa ki a ratou.
24 Nana, nga puke, kua tae mai ratou ki te pa, kia horo ai; a ka hoatu te pa ki te ringa o nga Karari e whawhai nei ki konei, na te hoari hoki, na te hemokai, na te mate uruta: a, ko tau i korero ra, kua rite; nana, e kite nei koe.
25 Heoi kua mea mai na koe, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ki ahau, Hokona te mara mau ki te moni, whakaturia ano nga kaititiro; kahore ia, kua tukua te pa ki te ringa o nga Karari.
26 Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia; i mea ia,
27 Nana, ko Ihowa ahau, ko te Atua o nga kikokiko katoa: tera ranei tetahi mea e pakeke rawa ki ahau?
28 Heoi ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau tenei pa ki te ringa o nga Karari, ki te ringa o Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ka horo i a ia:
29 A ka haere mai nga Karari e whawhai nei ki tenei pa, ka tahu i tenei pa ki te ahi, ka wera hoki i a ratou, me nga whare i tahu whakakakara ai ratou i runga i nga tuanui ki a Paara, i ringihia ai hoki nga ringihanga ki nga atua ke, hei whakapatar itari i ahau.
30 No te mea ko nga tamariki a Iharaira ratou ko nga tamariki a Hura, he kino kau ta ratou i mahi ai i taku tirohanga, no to ratou tamarikitanga ake ano: he whakapataritari kau hoki ta nga tamariki a Iharaira i ahau ki te mahi a o ratou ringa, e ai ta Ihowa.
31 Ko te ahau hoki o tenei pa ki ahau he mea whakaoho o toku riri, i toku weriweri, no te ra i hanga ai e ratou a tae noa mai ki tenei ra; kia nekehia atu ra ano e ahau i toku aroaro;
32 Mo te kino katoa a nga tamariki a Iharaira ratou ko nga tamariki a Hura, i mahia nei e ratou hei whakapataritari i ahau, e ratou, e o ratou kingi, e o ratou rangatira, e o ratou tohunga, e o ratou poropiti, e nga tangata o Hura, e nga tangata ho ki o Hiruharama.
33 A kua parea mai e ratou te kohamo, kahore te kanohi ki ahau: a, ahakoa naku ratou i whakaako, moata ai i te ata me te ako i a ratou, kihai ratou i rongo, i manako ki te ako.
34 Heoi whakaturia ana e ratou a ratou mea whakarihariha ki te whare i huaina nei toku ingoa mo reira, whakapokea iho.
35 A hanga ana e ratou nga wahi tiketike o Paara, era i te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, kia meinga ai a ratou tama, me a ratou tamahine, kia tika i roto i te ahi ki a Moreke; he mea kihai i whakahaua e ahau, kihai hoki i puta ake i toku ngakau, kia m ahia e ratou tenei mea whakarihariha, e hara ai a Hura.
36 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei inaianei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira mo tenei pa, e ki na koutou, Ka tukua ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona, ma te hoari, ma te hemokai, ma te mate uruta;
37 Nana, ka kohikohia mai ratou e ahau i nga whenua katoa i peia atu nei ratou e ahau ki reira, i toku riri, i toku weriweri, i te aritarita nui; ka whakahokia mai ano ratou e ahau ki tenei wahi, a ka meinga kia noho humarie;
38 A ko ratou hei iwi maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo ratou.
39 A ka hoatu e ahau he ngakau kotahi ki a ratou, he ara kotahi, kia wehi ai ratou i ahau a ake ake; hei pai mo ratou, mo a ratou tamariki hoki i muri i a ratou.
40 Ka whakaritea ano e ahau he kawenata mau tonu ki a ratou, he mea e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau i a ratou, kia mahia he pai ki a ratou; a ka hoatu e ahau toku wehi ki o ratou ngakau, kei whakarere ratou i ahau.
41 Ae ra, ka koa ahau ki a ratou hei mea i te pai ki a ratou, a he pono ka whakapaua toku ngakau, ka whakapaua hoki toku wairua ki te whakato i a ratou ki tenei whenua i runga i te pono.
42 No te mea ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka pera i taku kawenga i tenei kino nui katoa ki runga ki tenei iwi, waihoki ka kawea e ahau ki runga ki a ratou te pai katoa i korerotia e ahau mo ratou.
43 Ka hokohokona ano he mara ki tenei whenua, e ki na koutou mo reira, He ururua, te ai he tangata, he kararehe ranei; kua hoatu ki te ringa o nga Karari.
44 Ka hokona e te tangata he mara ki te moni, ka tuhituhia ano he pukapuka, ka hiritia, ka whakaturia nga kaititiro, i te whenua o Pineamine, i nga taha o Hiruharama, i nga pa hoki o Hura, i nga pa o te whenua pukepuke, i nga pa o nga raorao, i nga pa hoki o te tonga: no te mea ka whakahokia mai ratou e ahau i te whakarau, e ai ta Ihowa.
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah -- it [is] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar,
2 And then the forces of the king of Babylon are laying siege against Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet hath been shut up in the court of the prison that [is] in the house of the king of Judah,
3 Where Zedekiah king of Judah hath shut him up, saying, `Wherefore art thou prophesying, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he hath captured it;
4 And Zedekiah king of Judah doth not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but is certainly given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and his mouth hath spoken with his mouth, and his eyes see his eyes,
5 And [to] Babylon he leadeth Zedekiah, and there he is till My inspecting him, -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- because ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye do not prosper.`
6 And Jeremiah saith, `A word of Jehovah hath been unto me saying,
7 Lo, Hanameel son of Shallum, thine uncle, is coming unto thee, saying, Buy for thee my field that [is] in Anathoth, for thine [is] the right of redemption -- to buy.
8 And Hanameel, my uncle`s son, cometh in unto me, according to the word of Jehovah, unto the court of the prison, and saith unto me, `Buy, I pray thee, my field that [is] in Anathoth, that [is] in the land of Benjamin, for thine [is] the right of possession, and thine of redemption -- buy for thee.` And I know that it [is] the word of Jehovah,
9 And I buy the field, that [is] in Anathoth, from Hanameel, my uncle`s son, and I weigh to him the money -- seventeen shekels of silver.
10 And I write in a book, and seal, and cause witnesses to testify, and weigh the silver in balances;
11 And I take the purchase-book, the sealed one, according to law and custom, and the open one.
12 And I give the purchase-book unto Baruch son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, before the eyes of Hanameel, my uncle`s son, and before the eyes of the witnesses, those writing in the purchase-book, before the eyes of all the Jews who are sitting in the court of the prison.
13 And I charge Baruch before their eyes, saying,
14 `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Take these books, this purchase-book, both the sealed one and the open one, and thou hast put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain many days;
15 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Again are houses and fields and vineyards bought in this land.`
16 And I pray unto Jehovah -- after my giving the purchase-book unto Baruch son of Neriah -- saying,
17 `Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm; there is nothing too wonderful for Thee:
18 Doing kindness to thousands, and recompensing iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their sons after them; God, the great, the mighty, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name,
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Thine eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
20 In that thou hast done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt unto this day, and in Israel, and among men, and Thou dost make for Thee a name as [at] this day.
21 `And Thou bringest forth Thy people Israel from the land of Egypt, with signs and with wonders, and by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great fear,
22 And thou givest to them this land that thou didst swear to their fathers to give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey,
23 And they come in, and possess it, and they have not hearkened to Thy voice, and in Thy law have not walked, all that which Thou didst lay a charge on them to do they have not done, and Thou dost proclaim [to] them all this evil.
24 `Lo, the mounts -- they have come in to the city to capture it, and the city hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence; and that which Thou hast spoken hath come to pass, and lo, Thou art seeing;
25 Yet Thou hast said unto me, O Lord Jehovah, Buy for thee the field with money, and cause witnesses to testify -- and the city hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!`
26 And the word of Jehovah is unto Jeremiah, saying:
27 `Lo, I [am] Jehovah, God of all flesh: For Me is anything too wonderful?
28 `Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he hath captured it;
29 And come in have the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city, and they have set this city on fire, and have burned it, and the houses on whose roofs they made perfume to Baal, and poured out libations to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger.
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been only doing evil in Mine eyes, from their youth; for the sons of Israel are only provoking Me with the work of their hands -- an affirmation of Jehovah.
31 `For a cause of Mine anger, and a cause of My fury, hath this city been to Me, even from the day that they built it, and unto this day -- to turn it aside from before My face,
32 Because of all the evil of the sons of Israel, and of the sons of Judah that they have done, so as to provoke Me -- they, their kings, their heads, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 And they turn unto Me the neck, and not the face, and teaching them, rising early and teaching, and they are not hearkening to accept instruction.
34 `And they set their abominations in the house over which My name is called, so as to defile it;
35 And they build the high places of Baal, that [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through to Molech, which I did not command them, nor did it come up on my heart to do this abomination, so as to cause Judah to sin.
36 `And now, therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning this city, of which ye are saying, It hath been given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence,
37 Lo, I am gathering them out of all the lands whither I have driven them in Mine anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath, and I have brought them back unto this place, and have caused them to dwell confidently;
38 and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God;
39 and I have given to them one heart, and one way, to fear Me all the days, for good to them, and to their sons after them:
40 and I have made for them a covenant age-during, in that I turn not back from after them for My doing them good, and My fear I put in their heart, so as not to turn aside from me;
41 and I have rejoiced over them to do them good, and have planted them in this land in truth, with all my heart, and with all My soul.
42 `For thus said Jehovah: As I brought in unto this people all this great evil, so I am bringing in on them all the good that I am speaking concerning them;
43 and bought hath been the field in this land of which ye are saying, A desolation it [is], without man and beast, it hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
44 Fields with money they buy, so as to write in a book, and to seal, and to cause witnesses to testify, in the land of Benjamin, and in suburbs of Jerusalem, and in cities of Judah, and in cities of the hill-country, and in cities of the low country, and in cities of the south, for I turn back their captivity -- an affirmation of Jehovah.`
