1And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
1¶ Na kua kingi a Terekia tama a Hohia, i muri i a Konia tama a Iehoiakimi, i whakakingitia nei e Nepukareha kingi o Papurona ki te whenua o Hura.
2But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
2Otiia kihai ia i whakarongo, ratou ko ana tangata, ko te iwi ano hoki o te whenua, ki nga kupu a Ihowa i korerotia e Heremaia poropiti.
3And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.
3Na ka unga e Terekia, e te kingi, a Iehukara tama a Heremia raua ko Tepania tama a Maaheia tohunga ki a Heremaia poropiti, hei ki atu, Tena koa, inoi mo tatou ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua.
4Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
4Na, ko Heremaia, i te haere mai, i te haere atu i roto i te iwi: kahore hoki ia i maka ki te whare herehere.
5Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
5Na kua puta mai te taua a Parao i Ihipa; a, no te rongonga o nga Karari i whakapae ra i Hiruharama i to ratou rongo, ka maunu atu ratou i Hiruharama.
6Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah saying,
6Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia poropiti; i mea ia,
7Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
7Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira: Kia penei ta korua korero atu ki te kingi o Hura, nana nei korua i unga mai ki te rapu tikanga i ahau; Nana, ko te ope a Parao i puta mai ra hei awhina mo koutou, ka hoki ki tona whenua, ki Ihipa.
8And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
8A ka hoki mai nga Karari, ka tatau ki tenei pa, ka horo hoki i a ratou, ka tahuna ki te ahi.
9Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
9Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kei tinihanga i a koutou ano, kei mea, Ka haere rawa atu nga Karari i a tatou: no te mea e kore ratou e haere.
10For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
10Ahakoa me i patua e koutou te ope katoa o nga Karari e tatau na ki a koutou, a toe ake o ratou ko etahi tangata taotu, ka whakatika ano ratou i tona teneti, i tona teneti, a ka tahu i tenei pa ki te ahi.
11And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
11¶ Na, i te whatinga atu o te ope o nga Karari i Hiruharama i te wehi ki te ope a Parao,
12Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.
12Katahi a Heremaia ka puta atu i Hiruharama, he haere ki te whenua o Pineamine, kia riro mai te wahi mana i reira, i roto i te iwi.
13And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.
13A, i a ia i te kuwaha o Pineamine, i reira tetahi rangatira tiaki, ko tona ingoa ko Iriia, he tama na Heremia tama a Hanania; heoi hopukia ana a Heremaia e ia, me te ki ano, E tahuti atu ana koe ki nga Karari.
14Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
14Katahi ka mea a Heremaia, He teka; kahore aku tahuti ki nga Karari. Otiia kihai ia i rongo ki tana: na hopukia ana a Heremaia e Iriia, kawea ana ki nga rangatira.
15Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
15Na riri ana nga rangatira ki a Heremaia, whiua ana ia e ratou, tukua ana ki te whare herehere, ki te whare o Honatana kaituhituhi: kua waiho hoki tera e ratou hei whare herehere.
16When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
16I te taenga o Heremaia ki roto ki te whare herehere, ki roto ki nga ruma, a ka maha nga ra e noho ana a Heremaia ki reira;
17Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
17Katahi a Kingi Terekia ka unga tangata ki te tiki i a ia. Na ka ui puku te kingi ki a ia, i roto i tona whare, ka mea, He kupu ano ranei ta Ihowa? A ka mea a Heremaia, Tenei ano. I mea ano ia, Ka hoatu koe ki te ringa o te kingi o Papurona.
18Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
18Na i mea atu ano a Heremaia ki a Kingi Terekia, He aha toku hara ki a koe, ki au tangata ranei, ki tenei iwi ranei, i tukua ai ahau e koutou ki te whare herehere?
19Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
19Kei hea a koutou poropiti i poropiti ra ki a koutou, i mea ra, E kore te kingi o Papurona e tae mai ki a koutou, ki tenei whenua ranei?
20Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
20Na, whakarongo aianei, e toku ariki, e te kingi: tukua atu koa taku inoi kia manaakitia ki tou aroaro; kia kaua ahau e whakahokia ki te whare o Honatana kaituhituhi, kei mate ahau ki reira.
21Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
21Na ka whakahaua e Kingi Terekia, a ka kawea a Heremaia ki te marae o te whare herehere, a ka hoatu e ratou mana he rohi taro i tenei ra, i tenei ra, no te ara o nga kaitunu taro, a pau noa te taro katoa o te pa. Na noho ana a Heremaia i te marae o te whare herehere.
