1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, 2 "Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book. 3 For, behold, the days come,’ says Yahweh, ‘that I will reverse the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,’ says Yahweh. ‘I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’"

4 These are the words that Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah. 5 For Yahweh says:

"We have heard a voice of trembling;

a voice of fear, and not of peace.

6 Ask now, and see whether a man travails with child.

Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail,

and all faces are turned pale?

7 Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it!

It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble;

but he will be saved out of it.

8 It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck,

and will burst your bonds.

Strangers will no more make them their bondservants;

9 but they will serve Yahweh their God,

and David their king,

whom I will raise up to them.

10 Therefore don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh.

Don’t be dismayed, Israel.

For, behold, I will save you from afar,

and save your offspring from the land of their captivity.

Jacob will return,

and will be quiet and at ease.

No one will make him afraid.

11 For I am with you, says Yahweh, to save you;

for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you,

but I will not make a full end of you;

but I will correct you in measure,

and will in no way leave you unpunished."

12 For Yahweh says,

"Your hurt is incurable.

Your wound is grievous.

13 There is no one to plead your cause,

that you may be bound up.

You have no healing medicines.

14 All your lovers have forgotten you.

They don’t seek you.

For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,

with the chastisement of a cruel one,

for the greatness of your iniquity,

because your sins were increased.

15 Why do you cry over your injury?

Your pain is incurable.

For the greatness of your iniquity,

because your sins have increased,

I have done these things to you.

16 Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured.

All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity.

Those who plunder you will be plunder.

I will make all who prey on you become prey.

17 For I will restore health to you,

and I will heal you of your wounds," says Yahweh,

"because they have called you an outcast,

saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’"

18 Yahweh says:

"Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents,

and have compassion on his dwelling places.

The city will be built on its own hill,

and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.

19 Thanksgiving will proceed out of them

with the voice of those who make merry.

I will multiply them,

and they will not be few;

I will also glorify them,

and they will not be small.

20 Their children also will be as before,

and their congregation will be established before me.

I will punish all who oppress them.

21 Their prince will be one of them,

and their ruler will proceed from among them.

I will cause him to draw near,

and he will approach me;

for who is he who has had boldness to approach me?" says Yahweh.

22 "You shall be my people,

and I will be your God.

23 Behold, Yahweh’s storm, his wrath, has gone out,

a sweeping storm;

it will burst on the head of the wicked.

24 The fierce anger of Yahweh will not return until he has accomplished,

and until he has performed the intentions of his heart.

In the latter days you will understand it."

1 Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia, he mea na Ihowa; i mea ia,

2 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, e mea ana, Tuhituhia ki te pukapuka nga kupu katoa i korerotia e ahau ki a koe.

3 Tenei ake hoki nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e whakahokia mai ai e ahau taku iwi, a Iharaira raua ko Hura, i te whakarau, e ai ta Ihowa: a ka whakahokia mai ratou e ahau ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki o ratou matua, a ka riro a reira i a ratou.

4 A ko nga kupu enei i korerotia e Ihowa mo Iharaira raua ko Hura,

5 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa: Kua rongo tatou i te reo o te tuiri, o te wehi, ehara i te rongo mau.

6 Tena ra, ui atu, kia kite ai koutou, he whanau tamariki ranei ta te tane: He aha ahau i kite ai i nga tangata katoa ko o ratou ringa kei o ratou hope, koia ano kei te wahine e whanau ana, kua puta ke ano nga kanohi katoa, kua koma?

7 Aue! he ra nui hoki taua ra, kahore he rite mona: ko te wa hoki ia o to Hakopa mamae; otiia ka whakaorangia ia i taua mamae.

8 Na i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka wahia e ahau tana ioka i tou kaki, ka motuhia hoki ou here; e kore hoki ia e whakamahia e nga tangata ke i muri iho:

9 Engari ka mahi ratou ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua, ki a Rawiri hoki, ki to ratou kingi e whakaarahia ake e ahau mo ratou.

10 Na reira kaua e wehi, e taku pononga, e Hakopa, e ai ta Ihowa, kaua hoki e pawera, e Iharaira: nana, ka whakaora hoki ahau i a koe i tawhiti, i ou uri ano i te whenua i whakaraua atu ai ratou; a ka hoki mai a Hakopa, ka ata noho, ka whai tanga m anawa, te ai he kaiwhakawehi mona.

11 No te mea hei hoa ahau mou, e ai ta Ihowa, hei whakaora i a koe: ka poto rawa hoki i ahau nga iwi katoa kua whakamararatia atu na koe ki reira, otiia e kore koe e poto rawa i ahau; engari ka pakia koe e ahau, he mea whakarite marie atu, e kore a no hoki koe e tukua kia kahore rawa e whiua.

12 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, Ko tou pakaru e kore e mahu, he mamae rawa tou marutanga.

13 Kahore he tangata hei tohe i tau, kia takaia ai koe: kahore ou rongoa whakamahu.

14 Ko te hunga katoa i aroha ki a koe kua wareware ki a koe; kahore ratou e rapu i a koe; no te mea i patua koe e ahau ki te patu a te hoariri, ki te whiu hoki a te tangata nanakia; he nui hoki no tou kino, he maha no ou hara.

15 He aha koe i tangi ai ki tou pakaru? e kore tou mamae e taea te rongoa: mo te nui hoki o tou kino, he maha no ou hara, i meinga ai e ahau enei mea ki a koe.

16 Na reira ko te hunga katoa e kai ana i a koe, ka kainga ratou; ko ou hoariri katoa, ko ratou katoa, ka riro ki te whakarau; ko te hunga e pahua ana i a koe ka pahuatia ratou, a ka tukua e ahau hei taonga parau te hunga katoa e muru ana i a koe.

17 Ka whakahokia atu hoki e ahau te ora ki a koe, ka rongoatia e ahau ou marutanga, e ai ta Ihowa; no te mea kua kiia koe e ratou, he peinga, kua mea, Ko Hiona tenei e kore nei e rapua e te tangata.

18 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Nana, ka whakahokia mai e ahau i te whakarau nga teneti o Hakopa, ka aroha ki ona nohoanga; a ka hanga te pa ki runga ki tona puranga ano, ka whakapumautia ano nga tikanga o te whare kingi.

19 Ka puta mai ano i reira te whakamoemiti, me te reo o te hunga e kata ana: a ka whakanuia ratou e ahau, e kore ratou e torutoru: ka whakakororiatia hoki ratou e ahau, a e kore ratou e iti.

20 A ka rite a ratou tamariki ki o mua; ka whakapumautia hoki to ratou whakaminenga ki toku aroaro, a ka whiua e ahau te hunga katoa e tukino ana i a ratou.

21 A ko to ratou metararahi ko tetahi ano o ratou, ka puta ake hoki to ratou kawana i roto i a ratou; a ka meinga ia e ahau kia whakatata mai, a ka haere mai ia ki ahau: ko wai oti tenei kua toa nei ki te haere mai ki ahau? e ai ta Ihowa.

22 A hei iwi koutou maku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mo koutou.

23 Nana, ko te tukauati a Ihowa, ara ko tona riri mura tonu, te paoho atu na, he tukauati e tahi ana: tera e aki ki runga ki te mahunga o te hunga kino.

24 E kore e tahuri atu te riri kino o Ihowa, kia oti ra ano i a ia, kia whakapumautia ra ano e ia nga whakaaro o tona ngakau: i nga ra whakamutunga ka matau koutou.
