50 Ko te kupu i korerotia e Ihowa mo Papurona, mo te whenua o nga Karari, i puaki i a Heremaia poropiti.
2 Kauwhautia i roto i nga tauiwi, panuitia, a ka whakaara he kara; panuitia atu, kaua e huna: mea atu, Kua horo a Papurona, kua whakama a Pere, kua pororaru a Meroraka; kua whakama ana whakapakoko, kua wehi ana whakaahua.
3 No te mea kei te haere mai he iwi ki a ia i te raki, mana e ururua ai tona whenua, e kore ano tetahi e noho ki reira: kua rere ratou, kua heke, te tangata, te kararehe.
4 I aua ra, i taua wa hoki, e ai ta Ihowa, ka haere mai nga tama a Iharaira, ratou tahi ko nga tama a Hura; ka haere ratou me te tangi haere, a ka rapu i a Ihowa, i to ratou Atua.
5 Tera ratou e ui mo Hiona, me te anga ano o ratou kanohi ki reira, me te ki, Haere mai koutou, ka hono i a koutou ki a Ihowa, i runga i te kawenata mau tonu, e kore e wareware.
6 Ko taku iwi he hipi ngaro: na o ratou hepara ratou i kotiti ke ai, na ratou hoki ratou i tahuri ke ai i runga i nga maunga: kua haere atu ratou i te maunga ki te pukepuke, kua wareware ki to ratou takotoranga.
7 Kua kainga ratou e he hunga katoa i kite i a ratou: a kua mea o ratou hoariri, Kahore o tatou he, kua hara nei hoki ratou ki a Ihowa, ki te nohoanga o te tika, ara ki a Ihowa, ki ta o ratou matua i tumanako ai.
8 Rere atu i roto i Papurona, heke atu i te whenua o nga Karari, a kia rite ki nga koati toa i mua i nga kahui.
9 No te mea, nana, ka whakaarahia e ahau, ka whakaekea hoki ki Papurona he huihuinga o nga iwi nunui no te whenua ki te raki: a ka takoto o ratou matua hei whawhai ki a ia; ka horo ia i reira: ka rite a ratou pere ki a te marohirohi mohio; e kore t etahi e hoki kau mai.
10 A ka pahuatia a Karari: ka tatu nga ngakau o te hunga katoa e pahua ana i a ia, e ai ta Ihowa.
11 No te mea e koa ana koutou, no te mea e whakamanamana ana koutou, e te hunga e pahua nei i toku kainga tupu, no te mea e takarokaro ana koutou, pera i te kau kuao e takahi ana i te witi, e tangi ana pera i nga hoiho kaha;
12 Ka nui rawa te whakama o to koutou whaea; matangerengere ana te wahine i whanau ai koutou: nana, ko ia hei muri rawa o nga iwi, hei koraha, hei whenua waikore, hei ururua.
13 He riri no Ihowa e kore ai e nohoia, engari ka waiho hei ururua katoa a reira: ko nga tangata katoa e tika ana na Papurona ka miharo, ka hi ki ona whiunga katoa.
14 Whakatakoto i o koutou matua hei whawhai ki Papurona, ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, e te hunga whakapiko kopere katoa; kopere atu ki a ia, kaua e kaiponuhia nga pere: kua hara hoki ia ki a Ihowa.
15 Hamama ki a ia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha: kua whakangawari ia i a ia: kua hinga ona parepare, kua oti ona taiepa te wahi iho: he rapunga utu hoki na Ihowa; rapua he utu i a ia; kia rite ki tana i mea ai ta koutou e mea ai ki a ia.
16 Hatepea atu te kairui i roto i Papurona, me te kairahurahu o te toronaihi i te wa e kotia ai te witi. He wehi no ratou i te hoari tukino, ka tahuri ki tona iwi, ki tona iwi, rere ana ratou ki tona whenua, ki tona whenua.
17 He hipi a Iharaira i marara atu; kua aia atu ia e nga raiona: i te tuatahi na te kingi o Ahiria ia i kai: i te whakamutunga na tenei Napukareha kingi o Papurona ona whenua i wahi.
18 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Nana, ka whiua e ahau te kingi o Papurona me tona whenua, ka pera me taku whiunga i te kingi o Ahiria.
19 A ka whakahokia e ahau a Iharaira ki tona takanga, a ka kai ia ki runga ki Karamere, ki Pahana, ka makona hoki tona wairua ki runga ki nga pukepuke o Eparaima, ki Kireara.
20 I aua ra, a i taua wa, e ai ta Ihowa, ka rapua te he o Iharaira, a kahore noa iho; nga hara hoki o Hura, a e kore e kitea: ka murua hoki e ahau te kino o te hunga ka whakatoea nei e ahau.
21 Haere atu ki te whenua o Merataimi, ki reira tatau ai, a ki nga tangata hoki o Pekoro: whakamotitia, whakangaromia rawatia, whaia ratou, e ai ta Ihowa, mahia hoki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koe.
22 He ngangau no te whawhai kei te whenua, he whakangaromanga nui.
23 Tona poroporonga rawatanga, wawahia ana te hama o te ao katoa! tona ururutanga o Papurona i roto i nga tauiwi!
24 I whakatakotoria e ahau he mahanga mou, a kua mau koe, e Papurona, kihai hoki koe i mohio: kua kitea koe, kua hopukia hoki, mou i totohe ki a Ihowa.
25 Kua whakapuaretia e Ihowa tona whare taonga, kua whakaputaina mai e ia ki waho nga patu o tona riri: he mahi hoki ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano, hei mahinga ki te whenua o nga Karari.
26 Haere mai ki a ia i te pito rawa ra ano, whakapuaretia ona toa: opehia ake hei puranga, whakangaromia rawatia: kaua rawa he wahi ona e mahue.
27 Patua ana puru katoa; tukua ratou kia haere ki raro ki te patunga: aue, te mate mo ratou! kua tae mai hoki to ratou ra, te wa e whiua ai ratou.
28 Ko te reo o te hunga e rere ana, e mawhiti ana i te whenua o Papurona, hei korero ki te whenua o Hiona i te rapu utu a Ihowa, a to tatou Atua, i te rapu utu mo tona temepara.
29 Karangarangatia kia hui nga kaikopere ki te tatau ki Papurona, te hunga katoa e whakapiko ana i te kopere; whakapaea tena pa, karapoi noa; kaua rawa tetahi ona e mawhiti; utua tana mahi; kia rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ta koutou e mea ai k i a ia: no te mea kua whakapehapeha ia ki a Ihowa, ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
30 Mo reira ka hinga ana taitama ki ona huarahi, a ka whakamotitia ana tangata whawhai katoa i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa.
31 Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e te mea whakakake, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa o nga mano: no te mea kua tae mai tou ra, te ra e whiua ai koe e ahau.
32 A ka tutuki nga waewae o te mea whakapehapeha, ka hinga, a kahore he kaiwhakaara mona: a ka ngiha i ahau he ahi ki roto ki ona pa, a ka pau i tera nga mea katoa i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha.
33 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano: Kei te tukinotia ngatahitia nga tamariki a Iharaira, ratou ko nga tamariki a Hura: a kei te puritia ratou, mau rawa, e o ratou kaiwhakarau; e kore ratou e pai ki te tuku i a ratou.
34 He kaha to ratou kaihoko; ko Ihowa o nga mano tona ingoa: ka whakapaua e ia te tohe i ta ratou tohe, kia hoatu ai e ia he tanga manawa ki te whenua, a he ohooho ki nga tangata o Papurona.
35 Kei runga i nga Karari te hoari, e ai ta Ihowa, kei runga ano i nga tangata o Papurona, kei runga i ona rangatira, kei runga hoki i ona tangata whakaaro nui.
36 Kei runga te hoari i te hunga whakapehapeha, a ka wairangi ratou: he hoari kei runga i ana marohirohi, a ka pawera ratou.
37 Kei runga te hoari i o ratou hoiho, kei runga i o ratou hariata, kei runga hoki i nga whakauru katoa i roto i a ia, a ka rite ratou ki te wahine; kei runga te hoari i ona taonga, a ka pahuatia.
38 He mimiti kei runga i ona wai, a ka maroke: he whenua whakapakoko hoki ia, a e porangi ana ratou ki nga atua whakawehi.
39 Mo reira ka nohoia a reira e nga kirehe mohoao o te koraha ratou ngatahi ko nga wuruhi, a ka noho ano hoki nga otereti ki reira; a e kore a reira e nohoia a ake ake; kahore hoki e whai kainga a reira i tetahi whakatupuranga ki tetahi whakatupura nga.
40 Ka rite ki ta te Atua hurihanga i Horoma, i Komora, i nga pa ano hoki e tata ana ki reira, e ai ta Ihowa; ka pera te kore o te tangata e noho ki reira, e kore ano hoki tetahi tama a te tangata e whai kainga ki reira.
41 Nana, kei te haere mai he iwi i te raki; a he iwi nui, he tokomaha hoki nga kingi e maranga mai i nga topito o te whenua.
42 Ka rarau ratou ki te kopere, ki te tao; he iwi nanakia ratou, e kore e tohu tangata; a parara ana to ratou reo pera i te haruru o te moana, kei runga hoiho hoki e eke ana; rarangi rawa katoa, ano he tangata e mea ana ki te whawhai, hei tatau ki a koe, e te tamahine a Papurona.
43 Kua rongo te kingi o Papurona i to ratou rongo, a kei te ngohe ona ringa: kua mau ia i te pawera, i te mamae hoki, me te mea he wahine e whanau ana.
44 Nana, ka haere ake ia ano he raiona i te ngawhatanga o Horoano ki te nohoanga kaha: otiia e kore e rokohanga taku meatanga i a ratou kia rere atu i reira; a ko wai te mea e whiriwhiria kia whakaritea e ahau hei rangatira mona? Ko wai oti e rite ana ki ahau? ko wai hoki hei whakarite wa mai ki ahau? ko wai hoki te hepara hei tu ki toku aroaro?
45 Mo reira whakarongo ki te tikanga a Ihowa, kua whakatakotoria e ia mo Papurona; ki ona whakaaro hoki i whakaaroa e ia mo te whenua o nga Karari: He pono ka toia atu ratou e ratou, ara nga mea ririki o te kahui: he pono ka whakangaromia ratou ko o ratou nohoanga e ia.
46 Ngateri ana te whenua i te haruru o te horonga o Papurona, rangona ana te hamama i roto i nga iwi.

Jeremiah 50
New International Version
A Message About Babylon(A)
50 This is the word the Lord spoke through Jeremiah the prophet concerning Babylon(B) and the land of the Babylonians[a]:
2 “Announce and proclaim(C) among the nations,
lift up a banner(D) and proclaim it;
keep nothing back, but say,
‘Babylon will be captured;(E)
Bel(F) will be put to shame,(G)
Marduk(H) filled with terror.
Her images will be put to shame
and her idols(I) filled with terror.’
3 A nation from the north(J) will attack her
and lay waste her land.
No one will live(K) in it;
both people and animals(L) will flee away.
4 “In those days, at that time,”
declares the Lord,
“the people of Israel and the people of Judah together(M)
will go in tears(N) to seek(O) the Lord their God.
5 They will ask the way(P) to Zion
and turn their faces toward it.
They will come(Q) and bind themselves to the Lord
in an everlasting covenant(R)
that will not be forgotten.
6 “My people have been lost sheep;(S)
their shepherds(T) have led them astray(U)
and caused them to roam on the mountains.
They wandered over mountain and hill(V)
and forgot their own resting place.(W)
7 Whoever found them devoured(X) them;
their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty,(Y)
for they sinned against the Lord, their verdant pasture,
the Lord, the hope(Z) of their ancestors.’
8 “Flee(AA) out of Babylon;(AB)
leave the land of the Babylonians,
and be like the goats that lead the flock.
9 For I will stir(AC) up and bring against Babylon
an alliance of great nations(AD) from the land of the north.(AE)
They will take up their positions against her,
and from the north she will be captured.(AF)
Their arrows(AG) will be like skilled warriors
who do not return empty-handed.
10 So Babylonia[b] will be plundered;(AH)
all who plunder her will have their fill,”
declares the Lord.
11 “Because you rejoice and are glad,
you who pillage my inheritance,(AI)
because you frolic like a heifer(AJ) threshing grain
and neigh like stallions,
12 your mother will be greatly ashamed;
she who gave you birth will be disgraced.(AK)
She will be the least of the nations—
a wilderness, a dry land, a desert.(AL)
13 Because of the Lord’s anger she will not be inhabited
but will be completely desolate.(AM)
All who pass Babylon will be appalled;(AN)
they will scoff(AO) because of all her wounds.(AP)
14 “Take up your positions around Babylon,
all you who draw the bow.(AQ)
Shoot at her! Spare no arrows,(AR)
for she has sinned against the Lord.
15 Shout(AS) against her on every side!
She surrenders, her towers fall,
her walls(AT) are torn down.
Since this is the vengeance(AU) of the Lord,
take vengeance on her;
do to her(AV) as she has done to others.(AW)
16 Cut off from Babylon the sower,
and the reaper with his sickle at harvest.
Because of the sword(AX) of the oppressor
let everyone return to their own people,(AY)
let everyone flee to their own land.(AZ)
17 “Israel is a scattered flock(BA)
that lions(BB) have chased away.
The first to devour(BC) them
was the king(BD) of Assyria;
the last to crush their bones(BE)
was Nebuchadnezzar(BF) king(BG) of Babylon.”
18 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:
“I will punish the king of Babylon and his land
as I punished the king(BH) of Assyria.(BI)
19 But I will bring(BJ) Israel back to their own pasture,
and they will graze on Carmel and Bashan;
their appetite will be satisfied(BK)
on the hills(BL) of Ephraim and Gilead.(BM)
20 In those days, at that time,”
declares the Lord,
“search will be made for Israel’s guilt,
but there will be none,(BN)
and for the sins(BO) of Judah,
but none will be found,
for I will forgive(BP) the remnant(BQ) I spare.
21 “Attack the land of Merathaim
and those who live in Pekod.(BR)
Pursue, kill and completely destroy[c] them,”
declares the Lord.
“Do everything I have commanded you.
22 The noise(BS) of battle is in the land,
the noise of great destruction!
23 How broken and shattered
is the hammer(BT) of the whole earth!(BU)
How desolate(BV) is Babylon
among the nations!
24 I set a trap(BW) for you, Babylon,
and you were caught before you knew it;
you were found and captured(BX)
because you opposed(BY) the Lord.
25 The Lord has opened his arsenal
and brought out the weapons(BZ) of his wrath,
for the Sovereign Lord Almighty has work to do
in the land of the Babylonians.(CA)
26 Come against her from afar.(CB)
Break open her granaries;
pile her up like heaps of grain.(CC)
Completely destroy(CD) her
and leave her no remnant.
27 Kill all her young bulls;(CE)
let them go down to the slaughter!(CF)
Woe to them! For their day(CG) has come,
the time(CH) for them to be punished.
28 Listen to the fugitives(CI) and refugees from Babylon
declaring in Zion(CJ)
how the Lord our God has taken vengeance,(CK)
vengeance for his temple.(CL)
29 “Summon archers against Babylon,
all those who draw the bow.(CM)
Encamp all around her;
let no one escape.(CN)
Repay(CO) her for her deeds;(CP)
do to her as she has done.
For she has defied(CQ) the Lord,
the Holy One(CR) of Israel.
30 Therefore, her young men(CS) will fall in the streets;
all her soldiers will be silenced in that day,”
declares the Lord.
31 “See, I am against(CT) you, you arrogant one,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
“for your day(CU) has come,
the time for you to be punished.
32 The arrogant(CV) one will stumble and fall(CW)
and no one will help her up;(CX)
I will kindle a fire(CY) in her towns
that will consume all who are around her.”
33 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“The people of Israel are oppressed,(CZ)
and the people of Judah as well.
All their captors hold them fast,
refusing to let them go.(DA)
34 Yet their Redeemer(DB) is strong;
the Lord Almighty(DC) is his name.
He will vigorously defend their cause(DD)
so that he may bring rest(DE) to their land,
but unrest to those who live in Babylon.
35 “A sword(DF) against the Babylonians!”(DG)
declares the Lord—
“against those who live in Babylon
and against her officials and wise(DH) men!
36 A sword against her false prophets!
They will become fools.
A sword against her warriors!(DI)
They will be filled with terror.(DJ)
37 A sword against her horses and chariots(DK)
and all the foreigners in her ranks!
They will become weaklings.(DL)
A sword against her treasures!(DM)
They will be plundered.
38 A drought on[d] her waters!(DN)
They will dry(DO) up.
For it is a land of idols,(DP)
idols that will go mad with terror.
39 “So desert creatures(DQ) and hyenas will live there,
and there the owl will dwell.
It will never again be inhabited
or lived in from generation to generation.(DR)
40 As I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah(DS)
along with their neighboring towns,”
declares the Lord,
“so no one will live there;
no people will dwell in it.(DT)
41 “Look! An army is coming from the north;(DU)
a great nation and many kings
are being stirred(DV) up from the ends of the earth.(DW)
42 They are armed with bows(DX) and spears;
they are cruel(DY) and without mercy.(DZ)
They sound like the roaring sea(EA)
as they ride on their horses;
they come like men in battle formation
to attack you, Daughter Babylon.(EB)
43 The king of Babylon has heard reports about them,
and his hands hang limp.(EC)
Anguish has gripped him,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(ED)
44 Like a lion coming up from Jordan’s thickets(EE)
to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant.
Who is the chosen(EF) one I will appoint for this?
Who is like me and who can challenge me?(EG)
And what shepherd can stand against me?”
45 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Babylon,
what he has purposed(EH) against the land of the Babylonians:(EI)
The young of the flock will be dragged away;
their pasture will be appalled at their fate.
46 At the sound of Babylon’s capture the earth will tremble;(EJ)
its cry(EK) will resound among the nations.
