Jeremiah 51

Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Nana, ka whakaarahia e ahau he hau whakamoti mo Papurona, mo te hunga hoki e noho ana i Repekamai.

And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

Ka unga ano e ahau he kaititaritari ki Papurona, a ka titaria e ratou; ka meinga tona whenua kia takoto kau: no te mea i te ra o te he ka tatau ratou ki a ia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.

Kaua te kiakopere e whakapiko i tana kopere, kaua ano hoki ia e whakarewa ake i a ia me te pukupuku ki runga i a ia: kaua ana taitama e tohunga; whakangaromia rawatia e koutou tana ope katoa.

Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.

Na ka hinga nga tupapaku ki te whenua o nga Karari, he mea wero ki ona ara.

For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.

Kahore hoki a Iharaira i whakarerea, kahore ano hoki a Hura, e tona Atua, e Ihowa o nga mano; ahakoa kei te kapi to ratou whenua i te hara ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.

Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.

Rere atu i roto o Papurona, e kuhu he tangata i tona wairua i tona; kei hatepea atu koutou i roto i tona he; no te mea ko te wa tenei o ta Ihowa rapu utu; ka rite tana utu ki a ia.

Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

He kapu koura a Papurona i roto i te ringa o Ihowa, nana i haurangi ai te whenua katoa: kua inumia tona waina e nga iwi; na reira ka haurangi nga iwi.

Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

Inamata kua taka a Papurona, kua pakaru: e tangi ki a ia; e mau i te pama mo tona mamae, me kore noa ia e taea te rongoa.

We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

Tera e rongoatia e matou a Papurona, heoi kihai ia i ora: whakarerea ia, ka haere tatou ki tona whenua, ki tona whenua; no te mea kua tutuki atu tona whakawa ki te rangi, kua rewa ake ki nga kapua ra ano.

The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.

Kua whakaputaina e Ihowa to tatou tika: haere mai, kia korerotia e tatou te mahi a Ihowa, a to tatou Atua ki Hiona.

Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.

Whakakoia nga pere; puritia nga whakangungu rakau, kia mau: kua whakaohongia e Ihowa te wairua o nga kingi o nga Meri; he tikanga hoki tana mo Papurona kia whakangaromia; no te mea he rapunga utu tenei na Ihowa, he rapunga utu mo tona temepara.

Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.

Whakaarahia he kara ki nga taiepa o Papurona, whakakahangia nga kaitiaki, whakaritea nga kaitiaki, whakatakotoria nga pehipehi: kua takoto hoki i a Ihowa, kua oti ano i a ia tana i korero ai mo nga tangata o Papurona.

O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.

E te wahine e noho na i runga i nga wai maha, he maha nei ou taonga, kua tae mai tou whakamutunga, te ruri mo tou apo taonga.

The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.

Kua oatitia e Ihowa o nga mano tona oranga, kua mea, He pono ka whakakiia koe e ahau ki te tangata, kei te huhu te rite; a ka hamama ratou ki a koe.

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.

Nana i hanga te whenua, na tona kaha; ko te ao nana i whakapumau, na ona whakaaro nui; ko nga rangi na tona matauranga i hora.

When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

Kia puaki tona reo, ka haruru nga wai i nga rangi, ka meinga e ia nga kohu kia piki ake i nga pito o te whenua; e hanga ana e ia nga uira me te ua, e whakaputaina mai ana te hau i roto i ona whare taonga.

Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

Ka poauau katoa te tangata, ka kore he mohio; whakama iho nga kaiwhakarewa koura katoa i tana whakapakoko: he mea teka hoki tana i whakarewa ai, kahore he manawa i roto i a ratou.

They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

He horihori kau ratou, he mea pohehe: ka ngaro ratou i te wa e tirotirohia ai ratou.

The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name.

Kahore e rite ki era te wahi i a Hakopa: ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaahua o nga mea katoa; a ko Iharaira te iwi o tona kainga tupu: ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa.

Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

Ko koe taku toki poutangata, ko aku patu mo te whawhai: hei wawahi koe maku mo nga iwi, hei whakamoti maku mo nga kingitanga;

And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;

Hei wawahi ano koe maku mo te hoiho raua ko tona kaieke: hei wawahi koe maku mo te hariata, mo te tangata ano i runga;

With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;

Hei wawahi koe maku mo te tangata, mo te wahine; hei wawahi koe maku mo te koroheke, mo te tamariki; hei wawahi koe maku mo te taitama, mo te taitamahine;

I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.

Hei wawahi koe maku mo te hepara, mo tana kahui; hei wawahi koe maku mo te kaiparau, mo ana kau hoki kua oti te ioka; hei wawahi koe maku mo nga rangatira, mo nga ariki.

And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.

Ka utua hoki e ahau a Papurona, me nga tangata katoa o Karari mo ta ratou kino katoa i mea ai ratou ki Hiona i ta koutou tirohanga, e ai ta Ihowa.

Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.

Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e te maunga whakamoti, e ai ta Ihowa, e huna na koe i te whenua katoa: a ka totoro atu toku ringa ki a koe, ka hurihia iho koe i runga i nga toka, a ka meinga koe hei maunga kua oti te tahu.

And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD.

A e kore tetahi kohatu e tangohia mai e ratou i a koe mo te kokonga, tetahi kohatu ranei mo nga turanga; engari ka ururua koe a ake ake, e ai ta Ihowa.

Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.

Whakaarahia e koe he kara ki te whenua, whakatangihia te tetere i roto i nga iwi, kia rite mai nga iwi hei whawhai ki a ia, karangarangatia hei whawhai ki a ia nga kingitanga o Ararata, o Mini, o Ahakenaha: whakaritea he rangatira hei mea ki a i a; meinga nga hoiho kia kokiri ake ano he tatarakihi puhuruhuru.

Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.

Kia rite mai nga iwi, nga kingi o nga Meri, o ratou rangatira, o ratou ariki, me te whenua katoa ano o tona kingitanga hei whawhai ki a ia.

And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.

Na kei te wiri te whenua, kei te mamae: no te mea kei te tu tonu nga whakaaro katoa o Ihowa mo Papurona, kia meinga te whenua o Papurona hei ururua, te ai he tangata.

The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.

Kua kahore nga marohirohi o Papurona e whawhai, kei te noho ratou i roto i o ratou wahi kaha; kua kore to ratou kaha; kua rite ratou ki te wahine: kua wera ona nohoanga; kua whati ona tutaki.

One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,

Ka rere tetahi kaikorero kia tutaki ki tetahi, tetahi karere hoki kia tutaki ki tetahi, hei whakaatu ki te kingi o Papurona kua horo tona pa i nga taha katoa:

And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

Kua riro ano nga whitinga, kua wera nga kakaho i te ahi, a kua mataku nga tangata whawhai.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Ko te rite i te tamahine a Papurona kei te patunga witi i te wa e takahia ai; he wa iti ake, ka tae ki te wa o tona kotinga.

Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.

Kua pau ahau i a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, kua pepe ahau i a ia, kua meinga ahau e ia hei oko tahanga, kua horomia ahau e ia ano na te tarakona, whakakiia ana hoki e ia tona kopu ki aku kia reka; kua maka ahau e ia ki waho.

The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.

Hei runga i Papurona te tukinotanga ki ahau, ki oku kikokiko hoki, e ai ta te wahine o Hiona; a hei runga i nga tangata o Karari oku toto, e ai ta Hiruharama.

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka tohe ahau i tau tohe, a ka rapu ahau i nga utu mou; a ka mimiti i ahau tona moana, ka maroke hoki ona puna.

And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.

A ka waiho a Papurona hei puranga, hei nohoanga mo nga kirehe mohoao, hei miharotanga, hei whakahianga atu, te ai te tangata.

They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps.

Ka hamama ngatahi ratou, ano he raiona; ka ngangara ratou ano he kuao raiona.

In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD.

Kia werawera ratou, ka taka e ahau he hakari ma ratou, a ka whakahaurangitia ratou e ahau, kia whakamanamana ai ratou, kia moe ai i te moe roa, te korikori, e ai ta Ihowa.

I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.

Ka riro ratou i ahau ki raro, ano he reme ki te patunga; ano he hipi toa i huihuia atu ki nga koati toa.

How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!

Taukiri e, kua horo a Hehaka! kua huakina tatatia te whakamoemiti a te whenua katoa. Taukiri e kua waiho a Papurona hei ururua i roto i nga iwi!

The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.

Kua tae ake te moana ki Papurona; kua taupokina ia e ona ngaru maha.

Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.

Kua moti ona pa, he whenua waikore, he ururua, e kore e nohoia e tetahi tangata, e kore hoki tetahi tama a te tangata e tika na reira.

And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

Ka whiua hoki e ahau a Pere i Papurona, ka whakaputaina mai e ahau i roto i tona mangai te mea i horomia e ia; e kore ano nga iwi e rere a wai mai ki a ia a mua; ae ra, ka hinga ano te taiepa o Papurona.

My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.

E taku iwi, puta atu i roto i a ia, kahaki koutou i a koutou, i tera, i tera, i te mura o to Ihowa riri.

And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.

Kei hopi o koutou ngakau, kei wehi hoki koutou ki te rongo meake nei rangona ki te whenua; no te mea ka tae mai he rongo i tetahi tau, a i muri i tena i tetahi atu tau ka tae mai ano he rongo, he tukino ki te whenua, he rangatira e whakatika ana ki te rangatira.

Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.

Mo reira, nana, kei te haere mai nga ra e whiua ai e ahau nga whakapakoko o Papurona, a ka whakama tona whenua katoa; a ka hinga ona tupapaku i roto i a ia.

Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD.

Na katahi ka waiata te rangi me te whenua, me nga mea katoa i reira ki Papurona, he hari hoki; no te mea ka haere mai nga kaipahua ki a ia i te raki, e ai ta Ihowa.

As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.

I te mea na Papurona i mea nga tupapaku o Iharaira kia hinga, waihoki ka hinga ki Papurona nga tupapaku o te whenua katoa.

Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.

E koutou kua mawhiti atu na i te hoari, haere koutou, kaua e tu noa; mahara ki a Ihowa i tawhiti, tukua mai hoki a Hiruharama ki roto ki o koutou ngakau.

We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD'S house.

Whakama ana matou, mo matou i rongo i te tawai; kua taupokina o matou mata e te porohurahu: kua tae mai hoki nga tautangata ki nga wahi tapu o te whare o Ihowa.

Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.

Mo reira, nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e whiua ai e ahau ana whakapakoko; a tera e ngunguru te hunga i werohia a puta noa i tona whenua katoa.

Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.

Ahakoa i kake atu a Papurona ki runga ki te rangi, ahakoa i hanga e ia tona wahi tiketike kaha kia kaha rawa, e tae atu ano i ahau nga kaipahua ki a ia, e ai ta Ihowa.

A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:

He reo te hamama mai nei i Papurona, he wawahanga nui kei te whenua o nga Karari!

Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:

No te mea kei te pahua a Ihowa i Papurona, a kei te whakakore atu i te reo nui i roto i a ia; a ka haruru o ratou ngaru ano ko nga wai maha, ka puta te tuki o to ratou reo:

Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.

Kua tae mai hoki te kaipahua ki a ia, ki Papurona, kua mau hoki ona marohirohi, kua mongamonga a ratou pere: no te mea he Atua a Ihowa no te whakahoki utu, a he pono ka tino takoto tana utu.

And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

Na ka whakahaurangitia e ahau ona rangatira, ona tangata whakaaro nui, ona kawana, ona ariki, ona marohirohi hoki; a ka moe ratou i te moe roa, te korikori, e ai ta te Kingi, ko tona ingoa nei ko Ihowa o nga mano.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Ka pakaru rawa nga taiepa wharahi o Papurona, a ka wera ona kuwaha tiketike i te ahi; a ka mauiui nga iwi mo te kore noa iho, nga iwi hoki mo te ahi; a ruha noa ratou.

The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.

Ko te kupu i whakahaua e Heremaia poropiti ki a Heraia tama a Neria tama a Maaheia i to raua haerenga tahitanga atu ko Terekia kingi o Hura ki Papurona i te wha o nga tau o tona kingitanga. Na ko Heraia te tino rangatira o te whare kingi.

So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.

Na tuhituhia iho e Heremaia ki te pukapuka te kino katoa meake puta ki Papurona, ara enei kupu katoa kua tuhituhia nei mo Papurona.

And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;

A i mea a Heremaia ki a Heraia, E tae koe ki Papurona, me tino korero e koe enei kupu katoa,

Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.

A ka mea, E Ihowa, kua korerotia e koe tenei wahi kia hatepea atu, kia kaua hoki tetahi e noho ki konei, tangata ranei, kararehe ranei, engari kia waiho tonu hei ururua ake ake.

And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:

Na, ka mutu tau korero i tenei pukapuka, herea e koe ki reira tetahi kohatu, ka maka atu ai ki waenganui o Uparati:

And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

A ka mea atu koe, Ka penei te totohutanga o Papurona, e kore hoki e puea ake ano, i te kino e takina mai e ahau ki runga ki a ia: a ka ruha ratou. I mutu ki konei nga kupu a Heremaia.
