Jeremiah 15

Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.

Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Ahakoa i tu a Mohi raua ko Hamuera ki toku aroaro, e kore ahau e whai ngakau ki tenei iwi: maka atu ratou i toku aroaro, kia haere atu ratou.

And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.

Na ki te mea ratou ki a koe, Me haere matou ki hea? katahi koe ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko nga mea mo te mate, ki te mate; a ko nga mea ma te hoari, ki te hoari; ko nga mea hoki mo te hemokai, ki te hemokai; a ko nga mea mo te whakarau, ki te whakarau.

And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.

E wha hoki nga tu mea e whakaritea e ahau mo ratou, e ai ta Ihowa: ko te hoari hei whakamate, ko nga kuri hei haehae, a ko nga manu o te rangi, ko nga kararehe hoki o te whenua hei kai, hei whakamoti.

And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.

Ka tukua hoki ratou e ahau kia poipoia haeretia i waenga i nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua, mo ta Manahi tama a Hetekia kingi o Hura, mo tana i mea ai ki Hiruharama.

For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?

Ko wai oti e tohu i a koe, e Hiruharama? ko wai ranei e tangi ki a koe? ko wai e peka atu ki te ui, kei te ora ranei koe?

Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.

Kua whakarerea ahau e koe, e ai ta Ihowa, kua hoki whakamuri koe: koia i totoro atu ai toku ringa ki a koe, i whakamotitia ai koe; kua hoha ahau ki te ripeneta.

And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.

Kua powhiriwhiritia ratou e ahau ki te mea powhiriwhiri i nga kuwaha o te whenua; kua whakapania ratou e ahau i te tamariki, kua ngaro i ahau taku iwi; kahore ratou i tahuri mai i o ratou ara.

Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.

Ko a ratou pouaru i toku aroaro kua tokomaha atu i te onepu o nga moana: kua kawea e ahau ki a ratou, hei hoariri mo te whaea o nga taitama, he kaipahua i te poutumarotanga: kua meinga e ahau kia pa whakarere ki a ia te pawera me te tumatatenga.

She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

Ngohe kau te wahine ka tokowhitu nei ana tamariki; kua hemo tona wairua; kua rere tona ra i te mea ko te awatea nei ano; kua whakama hoki ia, kua numinumi kau: ka tukua atu hoki e ahau o ratou morehu ki te hoari i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri, e a i ta Ihowa.

Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.

Aue, toku mate, e toku whaea, i whanau mai ahau i roto i koe he tangata totohe, he tangata ngangare ki te whenua katoa! kihai ahau i whakatarewa atu i te moni whakatupu, kihai ano te moni whakatupu i whakatarewaina mai ki ahau; otiia kei te kang a ratou katoa ki ahau.

The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

I mea a Ihowa, He pono ka whakakahangia koe e ahau mo te pai; he pono ka meinga e ahau te hoariri kia inoi ki a koe i te wa o te he, i te wa o te mamae.

Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?

E taea ranei e tetahi te wahi te rino, te rino o te raki, te parahi ranei?

Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.

Ka hoatu e ahau ou rawa me ou taonga hei taonga parakete, kahore hoki he utu, a hei mea tera mo ou hara katoa, ara i ou rohe katoa.

And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.

A ka meinga ratou e ahau kia haere tahi me ou hoariri ki te whenua kihai i mohiotia e koe: no te mea kei te ngiha he ahi i ahau e riri nei, ka tonu atu ki a koutou.

O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.

E Ihowa, e mohio ana koe; mahara ki ahau, tirohia ahau, rapua he utu mo toku matenga i oku kaitukino; kaua ahau e tangohia atu i a koe ka puhoi nei ki te riri: kia mohio koe, mou ahau i tawaia ai.

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

I kitea au kupu, a kainga ake e ahau; a ki ahau hei whakakaoa, hei whakahari au kupu mo toku ngakau: kua huaina hoki tou ingoa moku, e Ihowa, e te Atua o nga mano.

I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

Kihai ahau i noho i roto i te whakaminenga o te hunga whakahi, kihai i whakamanamana atu; i noho mokemoke ahau, he whakaaro ki tou ringa: kua whakakiia nei hoki ahau e koe ki te riri.

Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?

He aha toku mamae i mau tonu ai, toku patunga te mahu ai, te pai ai ki te rongoa? ka rite rawa ranei koe ki ahau me te awa paremoremo, me nga wai e kore e mau?

Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ki te hoki koe na ka whakahokia koe e ahau, kia tu ai koe ki toku aroaro; a ki te tangohia atu e koe te mea utu nui i te mea kino, ka rite koe ki toku mangai: ko ratou e hoki ki a koe, kaua ia koe e hoki ki a r atou.

And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

Ka meinga hoki koe e ahau ki tenei iwi hei taiepa parahi; a ka whawhai ratou ki a koe, otiia e kore ratou e kaha ki a koe; no te mea kei a koe ahau hei whakaora i a koe, e mawhiti ai koe, e ai ta Ihowa.

And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

Ka meinga ano koe e ahau kia mawhiti i roto i te ringa o te hunga kino, ka hokona ano koe e ahau i roto i te ringa o te hunga nanakia.
