Jeremiah 3
Maori Bible
3 E korerotia ana, kite whakarerea e te tangata tana wahine, a ka haere atu ia i tona taha, ka riro i te tane ke, e hoki ano ranei ia ki a ia? E kore ianei taua whenua e poke rawa? Ko koe ia kua kairau ki nga hoa tokomaha: na, hoki mai ki ahau, e a i ta Ihowa.
2 Kia ara ou kanohi ki nga pukepuke moremore, tirohia; ko tehea te wahi i kore ai koe e puremutia? Nohoia atu ana ratou e koe i nga ara, pera ana me te Arapi i te koraha; a poke iho i a koe te whenua i ou kairautanga, i tau mahi kino.
3 Na reira i kaiponuhia ai nga ua, kahore hoki he ua o muri; engari he rae tou no te wahine kairau, e whakakahore ana ki te whakama.
4 E kore ianei koe e karanga ki ahau i nga wa a muri nei, E toku papa, ko koe te kaiarahi o toku taitamarikitanga?
5 E mau ranei tona riri a ake ake? E whakapumautia tonutia ranei e ia? Nana, kua korerotia e koe, kua mahia nga mea kino, kua rite ki tau.
6 I ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau i nga ra o Kingi Hohia, Kua kite ranei koe i nga mahi a Iharaira tahuri ke? kua haere ia ki runga ki nga maunga tiketike katoa, ki raro i nga rakau kouru nui katoa, ki reira kairau ai.
7 I mea ano ahau i muri i tana meatanga i enei mea katoa, Ka hoki mai ia ki ahau; heoi kihai ia i hoki mai, me te titiro ano tona tuakana tinihanga, a Hura.
8 A i kite ahau, i taku peinga atu i a Iharaira tahuri ke mo taua take nei ano, mo tona puremutanga, a i taku hoatutanga he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia, na kihai tona tuakana, a Hura tinihanga i wehi; heoi haere ana ano ia, kairau ana.
9 Na, ko te otinga, kua poke te whenua i te rongo o tona puremutanga, puremu ana ia ki te kohatu, ki te rakau.
10 Na ahakoa ko tenei katoa, kihai i whakapaua te ngakau o tona tuakana tinihanga, o Hura, ki te hoki ki ahau; he hoki teka kau ia, e ai ta Ihowa.
11 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, A Iharaira tahuri ke, nui atu tana whakatika i a ia i ta Hura, i ta te mea tinihanga.
12 Haere, karangatia enei kupu whaka te raki, mea atu, Hoki mai, e Iharaira tahuri ke, e ai ta Ihowa; e kore ahau e mea i toku riri kia tau ki a koutou; he atawhai hoki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, e kore ahau e mauahara tonu.
13 Whakina kautia tou he, ara kua kino koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kua whakamararatia atu e koe ou ara ki nga tangata ke i raro i nga rakau kouru nui katoa, kihai ano i rongo ki toku reo, e ai ta Ihowa.
14 Hoki mai, e nga tamariki tahuri ke, e ai ta Ihowa; kua marenatia hoki koutou e ahau: a ka tangohia koutou e ahau, tetahi i roto i te pa, tokorua hoki i roto i te hapu, ka kawea ano koutou e ahau ki Hiona.
15 A ka hoatu e ahau he hepara mo koutou, ko aku i pai ai, ka whangaia ano koutou e ratou ki te matauranga, ki te whakaaro pai.
16 A tenei ake, ina nui, ina hua koutou ki te whenua i aua ra e ai ta Ihowa, heoi ano a ratou kianga ake, Ko te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa; e kore ano e puta ake ki te ngakau; e kore hoki e maharatia taua mea e ratou, e kore ano ratou e haereere ki reira, kahore hoki he mahinga pera i muri iho.
17 I taua wa ka kiia e ratou a Hiruharama, ko te torona o Ihowa; a ka huihuia nga iwi katoa ki reira, ki te ingoa o Ihowa, ki Hiruharama; a heoi ano to ratou haere i runga i te maro o o ratou ngakau kino.
18 I aua ra ka haere tahi te whare o Hura raua ko te whare o Iharaira, ka huihuia ano to ratou haere mai i te whenua i te raki, ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau hei kainga tupu ki o koutou matua.
19 I mea ano ahau, Me pehea e oti ai koe te whakauru e ahau ki nga tamariki, e hoatu ai e ahau ki a koe he whenua e minaminatia ana, he kainga tupu, he wahi ataahua no nga mano o nga iwi? i mea ano ahau, ka karangatia ahau e koe, E toku papa, e kor e ano koe e tahuri atu i te whai i ahau.
20 Rite rawa ki ta te wahine i whakarere tinihanga i tana tahu ta koutou mahi tinihanga ki ahau, e te whare o Iharaira, e ai ta Ihowa?
21 E rangona ana he reo i runga i nga puke moremore, ko te tangi, ko nga inoi hoki a nga tama a Iharaira; mo ratou i whakaparori ke i to ratou ara, wareware ake i a ratou a Ihowa, to ratou Atua.
22 Hoki mai, e nga tamariki tahuri ke, maku e rongoa o koutou tahuritanga ketanga. Tenei matou te haere atu nei ki a koe; ko koe hoki a Ihowa, to matou Atua.
23 He pono, he hori kau te awhina e taria ana mai i nga pukepuke, te nge i runga i nga maunga: tika rawa kei a Ihowa, kei to tatou Atua te whakaora mo Iharaira.
24 Kua pau hoki i te mea whakama te mauiui o o tatou matua, no to tatou tamarikitanga ake ano; a ratou hipi, a ratou kau, a ratou tama, me a ratou tamahine.
25 Takoto tatou i roto i to tatou whakama, ma to tatou matangerengere tatou e hipoki: kua hara hoki tatou ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, tatou ko o tatou matua, no to tatou tamarikitanga ake ano a mohoa noa nei; kihai hoki tatou i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.
Jeremiah 3
New International Version
Jeremiah 3
New International Version
3 “If a man divorces(A) his wife
and she leaves him and marries another man,
should he return to her again?
Would not the land be completely defiled?(B)
But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers(C)—
would you now return to me?”(D)
declares the Lord.
2 “Look up to the barren heights(E) and see.
Is there any place where you have not been ravished?
By the roadside(F) you sat waiting for lovers,
sat like a nomad in the desert.
You have defiled the land(G)
with your prostitution(H) and wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld,(I)
and no spring rains(J) have fallen.
Yet you have the brazen(K) look of a prostitute;
you refuse to blush with shame.(L)
4 Have you not just called to me:
‘My Father,(M) my friend from my youth,(N)
5 will you always be angry?(O)
Will your wrath continue forever?’
This is how you talk,
but you do all the evil you can.”
Unfaithful Israel
6 During the reign of King Josiah,(P) the Lord said to me, “Have you seen what faithless(Q) Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree(R) and has committed adultery(S) there. 7 I thought that after she had done all this she would return to me but she did not, and her unfaithful sister(T) Judah saw it.(U) 8 I gave faithless Israel(V) her certificate of divorce(W) and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear;(X) she also went out and committed adultery. 9 Because Israel’s immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land(Y) and committed adultery(Z) with stone(AA) and wood.(AB) 10 In spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return(AC) to me with all her heart, but only in pretense,(AD)” declares the Lord.(AE)
11 The Lord said to me, “Faithless Israel is more righteous(AF) than unfaithful(AG) Judah.(AH) 12 Go, proclaim this message toward the north:(AI)
“‘Return,(AJ) faithless(AK) Israel,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will frown on you no longer,
for I am faithful,’(AL) declares the Lord,
‘I will not be angry(AM) forever.
13 Only acknowledge(AN) your guilt—
you have rebelled against the Lord your God,
you have scattered your favors to foreign gods(AO)
under every spreading tree,(AP)
and have not obeyed(AQ) me,’”
declares the Lord.
14 “Return,(AR) faithless people,” declares the Lord, “for I am your husband.(AS) I will choose you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion. 15 Then I will give you shepherds(AT) after my own heart,(AU) who will lead you with knowledge and understanding. 16 In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land,” declares the Lord, “people will no longer say, ‘The ark(AV) of the covenant of the Lord.’ It will never enter their minds or be remembered;(AW) it will not be missed, nor will another one be made. 17 At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne(AX) of the Lord, and all nations(AY) will gather in Jerusalem to honor(AZ) the name of the Lord. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.(BA) 18 In those days the people of Judah will join the people of Israel,(BB) and together(BC) they will come from a northern(BD) land to the land(BE) I gave your ancestors as an inheritance.
19 “I myself said,
“‘How gladly would I treat you like my children
and give you a pleasant land,(BF)
the most beautiful inheritance(BG) of any nation.’
I thought you would call me ‘Father’(BH)
and not turn away from following me.
20 But like a woman unfaithful to her husband,
so you, Israel, have been unfaithful(BI) to me,”
declares the Lord.
21 A cry is heard on the barren heights,(BJ)
the weeping(BK) and pleading of the people of Israel,
because they have perverted their ways
and have forgotten(BL) the Lord their God.
“Yes, we will come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.
23 Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills(BP)
and mountains is a deception;
surely in the Lord our God
is the salvation(BQ) of Israel.
24 From our youth shameful(BR) gods have consumed
the fruits of our ancestors’ labor—
their flocks and herds,
their sons and daughters.
25 Let us lie down in our shame,(BS)
and let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned(BT) against the Lord our God,
both we and our ancestors;(BU)
from our youth(BV) till this day
we have not obeyed(BW) the Lord our God.”
