Jeremiah 13
Maori Bible
13 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki ahau, Tikina, hokona he whitiki rinena mou, ka whitiki ai ki tou hope; kaua hoki e tukua ki te wai.
2 Heoi kua hokona e ahau tetahi whitiki, ko ta Ihowa i ki ai, whitikiria iho e ahau ki toku hope.
3 Na ko te rua o nga putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,
4 E mau ki te whitiki i hokona e koe, ki tera i tou hope, ka whakatika, ka haere ki Uparati, ka huna ki tetahi rua i te kamaka.
5 Heoi haere ana ahau, huna ana i taua mea ki Uparati, pera tonu me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki ahau.
6 A ka maha nga ra, ka ki mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Whakatika, haere ki Uparati, tikina i reira te whitiki i whakahau ai ahau ki a koe kia huna ki reira.
7 Katahi ka haere ahau ki Uparati, kei te keri, tangohia mai ana e ahau te whitiki i te wahi i huna ai e ahau: na, kua kino te whitiki, kihai i pai mo tetahi mea.
8 Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia,
9 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka pena ano taku whakakino i te whakapehapeha o Hura, i te whakapehapeha nui o Hiruharama.
10 Ko tenei iwi kino e kore nei e pai ki te whakarongo ki aku kupu, e haere ana i runga i nga tikanga pakeke o o ratou ngakau, e whai ana i nga atua ke, e mahi ana, e koropiko ana ki a ratou, ka rite ratou ki tenei whitiki e kore nei e pai mo tetah i mea.
11 He penei i te whitiki e piri nei ki te hope o te tangata, pena tonu taku meatanga i te whare katoa o Iharaira, i te whare katoa o Hura, kia piri ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, kia waiho ai ratou hei iwi maku, hei ingoa, hei whakamoemiti, hei kororia; h eoi kihai ratou i rongo.
12 Na me korero tenei kupu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ka whakakiia katoatia nga pounamu ki te waina: a e mea ano ratou ki a koe, kihai ianei matou i tino mohio ka whakakiia katoatia nga pounamu ki te waina?
13 Ko reira koe mea ai ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tenei ahau te whakaki nei i nga tangata katoa o tenei whenua, ara i nga kingi e noho ana i runga i te torona o Rawiri, ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga poropiti, ko nga tangata katoa ano o Hi ruharama ki te haurangi.
14 Ka akina atu ano ratou e ahau tetahi ki tetahi, nga matua ngatahi ano ko nga tamariki, e ai ta Ihowa; e kore e tohungia e ahau, e kore e manawapatia, e kore e arohaina, kia kore ai ratou e ngaro i ahau.
15 Whakarongo, tahuri mai nga taringa; kaua e whakapehapeha; na Ihowa hoki te kupu.
16 Whakakororiatia to koutou Atua, a Ihowa, i te mea kiano ia i whakapouri noa, i te mea kiano o koutou waewae i tutuki i runga i nga maunga pouri, i te mea hoki e tatari ana koutou ki te marama, na kua puta ke i a ia ko te atarangi o te mate, kua meinga kia pouri kerekere.
17 Tena ki te kore koutou e rongo, ka tangi toku wairua i nga wahi ngaro ki to koutou whakapehapeha: nui atu ano te tangi o toku kanohi, tarere iho ano nga roimata; no te mea ka whakaraua te kahui a Ihowa.
18 Mea atu ki te kingi raua ko te kuini, Whakaititia korua, e noho: no te mea ka riro iho o korua whakapaipai mahunga, te karauna o to korua kororia.
19 Ka tutakina nga pa o te tonga, kahore he kaiwhakatuwhera, ka whakaraua katoatia a Hura, poto rawa ki te whakarau.
20 E ara o koutou kanohi, tirohia te hunga e haere mai ana i te raki: kei hea te kahui i hoatu ki a koe? tau kahui ataahua na?
21 Ka pehea tau kupu ina whakanohoia e ia ou hoa ki runga ake i a koe hei mahunga, nau na hoki ratou i ako hei rangatira, hei ariki mou? E kore ianei koe e mau pu i te mamae, ano he wahine e whakawhanau ana?
22 Na ki te mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, He aha enei mea i pa ai ki ahau? Na te nui o tou kino i hurahia ai te remu o tou, i whakatupuria kinotia ai ou rekereke.
23 E taea ranei e te Etiopiana te whakaputa ke tona kiri, e te reparo ranei tona kotingotingo? me kore noa e taea te mahi pai e koutou kua taunga nei ki te mahi kino.
24 Ka titaritaria ano ratou e ahau, ano he papapa e rere ana i runga i te hau o te koraha.
25 Ko te rota tena mau, ko te wahi i ruritia atu e ahau mou, e ai ta Ihowa; mou i wareware ki ahau, i whakawhirinaki ki te teka.
26 Ka hurahia hoki e ahau nga remu o tou ki runga ki tou kanohi, a ka kitea tou mea e whakama ai koe.
27 Kua kite ahau i ou whakarihariha, i ou puremutanga, tau tangi a hoiho, te weriweri o tou moepuku, i runga i nga pukepuke i te parae. Aue te mate mou, e Hiruharama! e kore nei koe e meinga kia ma; a hea rawa ra ano?

A Linen Belt
13 This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and buy a linen belt and put it around your waist, but do not let it touch water.” 2 So I bought a belt, as the Lord directed, and put it around my waist.
3 Then the word of the Lord came to me a second time:(A) 4 “Take the belt you bought and are wearing around your waist, and go now to Perath[a](B) and hide it there in a crevice in the rocks.” 5 So I went and hid it at Perath, as the Lord told me.(C)
6 Many days later the Lord said to me, “Go now to Perath and get the belt I told you to hide there.” 7 So I went to Perath and dug up the belt and took it from the place where I had hidden it, but now it was ruined and completely useless.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 9 “This is what the Lord says: ‘In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride(D) of Jerusalem. 10 These wicked people, who refuse to listen(E) to my words, who follow the stubbornness of their hearts(F) and go after other gods(G) to serve and worship them,(H) will be like this belt—completely useless!(I) 11 For as a belt is bound around the waist, so I bound all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah to me,’ declares the Lord, ‘to be my people for my renown(J) and praise and honor.(K) But they have not listened.’(L)
Wineskins
12 “Say to them: ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Every wineskin should be filled with wine.’ And if they say to you, ‘Don’t we know that every wineskin should be filled with wine?’ 13 then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am going to fill with drunkenness(M) all who live in this land, including the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets and all those living in Jerusalem. 14 I will smash them one against the other, parents and children alike, declares the Lord. I will allow no pity(N) or mercy or compassion(O) to keep me from destroying(P) them.’”
Threat of Captivity
15 Hear and pay attention,
do not be arrogant,
for the Lord has spoken.(Q)
16 Give glory(R) to the Lord your God
before he brings the darkness,
before your feet stumble(S)
on the darkening hills.
You hope for light,
but he will turn it to utter darkness
and change it to deep gloom.(T)
17 If you do not listen,(U)
I will weep in secret
because of your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly,
overflowing with tears,(V)
because the Lord’s flock(W) will be taken captive.(X)
18 Say to the king(Y) and to the queen mother,(Z)
“Come down from your thrones,
for your glorious crowns(AA)
will fall from your heads.”
19 The cities in the Negev will be shut up,
and there will be no one to open them.
All Judah(AB) will be carried into exile,
carried completely away.
20 Look up and see
those who are coming from the north.(AC)
Where is the flock(AD) that was entrusted to you,
the sheep of which you boasted?
21 What will you say when the Lord sets over you
those you cultivated as your special allies?(AE)
Will not pain grip you
like that of a woman in labor?(AF)
22 And if you ask yourself,
“Why has this happened to me?”(AG)—
it is because of your many sins(AH)
that your skirts have been torn off(AI)
and your body mistreated.(AJ)
23 Can an Ethiopian[b] change his skin
or a leopard its spots?
Neither can you do good
who are accustomed to doing evil.(AK)
24 “I will scatter you like chaff(AL)
driven by the desert wind.(AM)
25 This is your lot,
the portion(AN) I have decreed for you,”
declares the Lord,
“because you have forgotten(AO) me
and trusted in false gods.(AP)
26 I will pull up your skirts over your face
that your shame may be seen(AQ)—
27 your adulteries and lustful neighings,
your shameless prostitution!(AR)
I have seen your detestable acts
on the hills and in the fields.(AS)
Woe to you, Jerusalem!
How long will you be unclean?”(AT)
