Maori Bible
17 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
2 E te tama a te tangata, whakaaria atu he paki, korerotia atu he kupu whakarite ki te whare o Iharaira;
3 Mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; He ekara nui, he nui nga parirau, he roroa nga hou, kapi tonu i te huruhuru, he mea kotingotingo, i haere mai ia ki Repanona, tangohia ana e ia te kauru rawa o te hita.
4 Katohia ana e ia te pito o ona manga ngawari, kawea ana ki te whenua hokohoko, waiho iho e ia i te pa o nga kaihokohoko.
5 I tikina ano e ia etahi o nga purapura o te whenua, whakatokia iho e ia ki te mara hua, kawea ana e ia ki te taha o nga wai maha, whakatokia ana ano he wirou.
6 A ka tupu taua mea, he waina papaku e torotoro ana, ko ona manga i anga atu ki a ia, a ko ona pakiaka i raro i a ia: na ka whakawaina, ka tupu ona manga, a ka totoro ona peka.
7 Na tera ano tetahi atu ekara nui, he nunui nga parirau, a he maha nga huruhuru: na i piko atu nga pakiaka o te waina nei ki a ia, i toro atu ona manga ki a ia i nga wahi i whakatokia ai, kia whakamakukutia ai e ia.
8 He mea whakato ia ki te mara pai ki te taha o nga wai maha, kia tupu ai he manga, kia hua ai he hua, kia tino pai ai taua waina.
9 Mea atu koe, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, E tupu ranei? e kore ianei e hutia atu e ia ona pakiaka? e kore ianei e tapahia ona hua, e maroke ai, e maroke ano ai ona rau katoa e pihi ana; ahakoa kahore e nui te ringa, e nui ranei te iwi he i huaranga?
10 Ae ra, na, i te mea kua whakatokia, e tupu ranei? e kore ianei e maroke rawa ina pa te hau marangai ki a ia? ka maroke ano i te tupuranga i pihi ai.
11 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
12 Tena, mea atu ki te whare whakakeke, Kahore ranei koutou e mohio ki te tikanga o enei mea? mea atu, Nana, i tae mai te kingi o Papurona ki Hiruharama, a tangohia ana e ia to reira kingi, o reira rangatira, kawea ana ki Papurona;
13 Na i mau ia ki te uri kingi, whakaritea ana he kawenata ki a ia; i whakaoatitia ano ia e ia, a mauria atu ana ano e ia te hunga nunui o te whenua;
14 Kia tutua ai tona kingitanga, kia kaua ai e ara ake ki runga, engari he turanga mona ko te pupuri i tana kawenata.
15 Heoi whakakeke ana ia ki a ia, unga ana e ia ana karere ki Ihipa kia homai etahi hoiho ki a ia, me etahi tangata, he tini. E tika ranei tana? e mawhiti ranei te kaimahi o enei mea? e whakataka ranei e ia te kawenata, a mawhiti ake?
16 E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ina, i te wahi ano o te kingi nana nei ia i whakakingi, nana nei te oati i whakahaweatia e ia, nana nei te kawenata i whakataka e ia, i tona taha ano i waenganui o Papurona ka mate ia.
17 Na e kore a Parao me tana ope nui, me tona huihui nui, e whai wahi ki a ia i te whawhai, ina whakahauputia ake e ratou he pukepuke, hanga ranei he taumaihi, e hatepea atu ai nga tangata tokomaha.
18 Kua whakahaweatia hoki e ia te oati, i tana whakatakanga i te kawenata; nana, kua hoatu e ia tona ringa, otiia kua mahia e ia enei mea katoa; e kore ia e mawhiti.
19 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; E ora ana ahau, ina ka utua e ahau ki runga ki tona matenga taku oati i whakahaweatia e ia, me taku kawenata i whakataka e ia.
20 Ka horahia ano e ahau taku kupenga ki runga ki a ia, a ka mau ia i taku rore, ka kawea ano ia e ahau ki Papurona, ka whakawakia e ahau ki reira mo tona he i he ai ia ki ahau.
21 Na, ko ona whati katoa, i roto i ona ropu katoa, ka hinga i te hoari, ka whakamararatia atu hoki nga morehu ki nga hau katoa; a ka mohio koutou naku, na Ihowa, te kupu.
22 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka tangohia ano e ahau tetahi wahi o te kauru o te hita tiketike, a ka whakatupuria; ka katohia mai e ahau tetahi mea ngawari i te matamata o ona rara hou, a ka whakatokia ki runga ki te maunga tiketike e pu rero ana ki runga.
23 Ka whakatokia e ahau ki te maunga tiketike o Iharaira: a ka wana ona manga, ka hua nga hua, a ko te putanga, he hita pai; ka noho hoki nga manu katoa, ia parirau, ia parirau, ki raro i a ia; ka noho ratou ki te taumarumarunga iho o ona manga.
24 A ka mohio nga rakau katoa o te parae, naku, na Ihowa, i whakaiti te rakau tiketike, naku i tiketike ai te rakau papaku; naku i whakamareke te rakau kaiota, naku hoki i tupu ai te rakau maroke: naku, na Ihowa, te kupu, naku ano i mahi.

Two Eagles and a Vine
17 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set forth an allegory and tell it to the Israelites as a parable.(A) 3 Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: A great eagle(B) with powerful wings, long feathers and full plumage of varied colors came to Lebanon.(C) Taking hold of the top of a cedar, 4 he broke off(D) its topmost shoot and carried it away to a land of merchants, where he planted it in a city of traders.
5 “‘He took one of the seedlings of the land and put it in fertile soil. He planted it like a willow by abundant water,(E) 6 and it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine. Its branches(F) turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and produced branches and put out leafy boughs.(G)
7 “‘But there was another great eagle with powerful wings and full plumage. The vine now sent out its roots toward him from the plot where it was planted and stretched out its branches to him for water.(H) 8 It had been planted in good soil by abundant water so that it would produce branches,(I) bear fruit and become a splendid vine.’
9 “Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Will it thrive? Will it not be uprooted and stripped of its fruit so that it withers? All its new growth will wither. It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up by the roots.(J) 10 It has been planted,(K) but will it thrive? Will it not wither completely when the east wind strikes it—wither away in the plot where it grew?(L)’”
11 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 12 “Say to this rebellious people, ‘Do you not know what these things mean?(M)’ Say to them: ‘The king of Babylon went to Jerusalem and carried off her king and her nobles,(N) bringing them back with him to Babylon.(O) 13 Then he took a member of the royal family and made a treaty(P) with him, putting him under oath.(Q) He also carried away the leading men(R) of the land, 14 so that the kingdom would be brought low,(S) unable to rise again, surviving only by keeping his treaty. 15 But the king rebelled(T) against him by sending his envoys to Egypt(U) to get horses and a large army.(V) Will he succeed? Will he who does such things escape? Will he break the treaty and yet escape?(W)
16 “‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, he shall die(X) in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose treaty he broke.(Y) 17 Pharaoh(Z) with his mighty army and great horde will be of no help to him in war, when ramps(AA) are built and siege works erected to destroy many lives.(AB) 18 He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Because he had given his hand in pledge(AC) and yet did all these things, he shall not escape.
19 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will repay him for despising my oath and breaking my covenant.(AD) 20 I will spread my net(AE) for him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon and execute judgment(AF) on him there because he was unfaithful(AG) to me. 21 All his choice troops will fall by the sword,(AH) and the survivors(AI) will be scattered to the winds.(AJ) Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken.(AK)
22 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will take a shoot(AL) from the very top of a cedar and plant it; I will break off a tender sprig from its topmost shoots and plant it on a high and lofty mountain.(AM) 23 On the mountain heights(AN) of Israel I will plant it; it will produce branches and bear fruit(AO) and become a splendid cedar. Birds of every kind will nest in it; they will find shelter in the shade of its branches.(AP) 24 All the trees of the forest(AQ) will know that I the Lord bring down(AR) the tall tree and make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish.(AS)
“‘I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.(AT)’”
