Jeremiah 40
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD after Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had released him at Ramah, having found him bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah who were being exiled to Babylon.
KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, mahope iho o ko Nebuzaradana, ko ka lunakaua lawepio ana ia ia, a ua hookuu aku ia ia mai Rama aku, no ka mea, ua hoopaa oia ia ia i na kaulahao, me ka poe pio a pau o Ierusalema, a me ka Iuda, ka poe i lawe pio ia i Babulona.
2 The captain of the guard found Jeremiah and said to him, “The LORD your God decreed this disaster on this place,
Lawe ae la ka lunakaua ia Ieremia, i mai la ia ia, Ua olelo no o Iehova kou Akua, i keia hewa no keia wahi.
3 and now the LORD has fulfilled it; He has done just as He said. Because you people have sinned against the LORD and have not obeyed His voice, this thing has happened to you.
Na Iehova hoi ia i lawe mai, a hana e like me kana olelo ana. No ka oukou hana hewa ana ia Iehova, me ka hoolohe ole i kona leo, nolaila i hiki mai ai keia mea maluna o oukou.
4 But now, behold, I am freeing you today from the chains that were on your wrists. If it pleases you to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will take care of you. But if it seems wrong to you to come with me to Babylon, go no farther. Look, the whole land is before you. Wherever it seems good and right to you, go there.”
Aia hoi, ke kala aku nei au ia oe i keia la, i na kaulahao ma kou lima. Ina he mea maikai i kou mau maka, ke hele pu me au i Babulona, o hele, a e kau no ko'u mau maka maluna ou. Aka, ina he mea ino i kou mau maka ke hele pu me au i Babulona, ua oki no: e nana hoi, aia no ka aina a pau imua ou, ma kahi maikai a pono i kou mau maka ke hele oe, malaila oe e hele ai.
5 But before Jeremiah turned to go, Nebuzaradan added, “Return to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and stay with him among the people, or go anywhere else that seems right.” Then the captain of the guard gave him a ration and a gift and released him.
A mamua o kona hoi ana, i ae la ia, E hoi aku oe ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama, ke keiki a Sapana, ka mea a ke alii o Babulona i hoonoho ai i kiaaina maluna o na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a e noho oe me ia iwaena pu me na kanaka; a ma kahi pono i kou mau maka ke hele, malaila oe e hele ai. A haawi mai la ka lunakaua, i ai nana, a i makana no hoi, a hookuu mai la ia ia.
6 So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah and stayed with him among the people who were left in the land.
Alaila, hele ae la o Ieremia io Gedalia la i ke keiki a Ahikama, ma Mizepa; a noho pu me ia iwaena o na kanaka i koe ma ka aina.
7 When all the commanders and men of the armies in the field heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam over the land and that he had put him in charge of the men, women, and children who were the poorest of the land and had not been exiled to Babylon,
A lohe na luna o ka poe koa a pau ma na papu, o lakou a me ko lakou poe kanaka, ua hoonoho ke alii o Babulona ia Gedalia i kiaaiua no ka aina, a ua haawi mai i kanaka nona, a me na wahine a me na kamalii, i na mea hune hoi o ka aina, i ka poe i lawe pio ole ia i Babulona;
8 they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah son of the Maacathite—they and their men.
Alaila, hele mai la ia Gedalia, ma Mizepa, o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, a me Iohanana, a me Ionatana, na keiki a Karea, a me Saraia, ke keiki a Tanehumeta, a me na keiki a Epai no Netopati, a me Iezania, ke keiki a ka Maaka, o lakou a me ko lakou poe kanaka.
9 Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore an oath to them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you.
A hoohiki o Gedalia, ke keiki a Ahikama, ke keiki a Sapana, ia lakou, a me ko lakou poe kanaka, i ae la, Mai makau ke hookauwa aku no ko Kaledea. E noho no ma ka aina, a e hookauwa aka no ke alii o Babulona, a e pomaikai auanei oukou.
10 As for me, I will stay in Mizpah to represent you before the Chaldeans who come to us. As for you, gather wine grapes, summer fruit, and oil, place them in your storage jars, and live in the cities you have taken.”
Owau hoi, e noho no wau ma Mizepa, e hoolaulea i ko Kaledea i hele mai ia kakou. A o oukou hoi, e hoiliili oukou i ka waina, a me na hua o ke kau, a me ka aila, a e ukuhi iloko o ko oukou hue, a e noho ma na kulanakauhale a oukou e noho nei.
11 When all the Jews in Moab, Ammon, Edom, and all the other lands heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judah and had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over them,
Alaila, o na Iudaio a pau, e noho ana ma Moaba, a iwaena hoi o ka Amona, a me Edoma, a ma na aina a pau, ia lakou i lohe ai, ua waiho mai ke alii o Babulona i koena o ka Iuda, a ua hoonoho ia Gedalia ke keiki a Ahikama, ke keiki a Sapana, maluna o lakou;
12 they all returned from all the places to which they had been banished and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah. And they gathered an abundance of wine grapes and summer fruit.
Hoi ae la na Iudaio a pau, mai loko mai o na wahi a pau a lakou i kipakuia'i, a hele mai la io Gedalia la, ma Mizepa, a hoiliili i ka waina a me na hua o ke kau he nui loa.
13 Meanwhile, Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies in the field came to Gedaliah at Mizpah
Alaila, hele mai la o Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna o na koa a pau e noho ana ma na papu io Gedalia la, ma Mizepa,
14 and said to him, “Are you aware that Baalis king of the Ammonites has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to take your life?” But Gedaliah son of Ahikam did not believe them.
I mai la ia ia, Ua ike pono anei oe, ua hoouna mai o Baalisa, ke alii o ka Amona, ia Isemaela, i ke keiki a Netania, e pepehi ia oe? Aole i manao o Gedalia, ke keiki a Ahikama, he oiaio ka lakou.
15 Then Johanan son of Kareah spoke privately to Gedaliah at Mizpah. “Let me go and kill Ishmael son of Nethaniah,” he said. “No one will know it. Why should he take your life and scatter all the people of Judah who have gathered to you, so that the remnant of Judah would perish?”
A olelo malu mai la o Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea ia Gedalia, ma Mizepa, i mai, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai ia'u, e hele, a e pepehi no wau ia Isemaela i ke keiki a Netania, me ka ike ole o kekahi kanaka. No ke aha la oia e pepehi ai ia oe, i hooauheeia'i na Iudaio a pau i akoakoa mai iou la, a make hoi ke koena o ka Iuda?
16 But Gedaliah son of Ahikam said to Johanan son of Kareah, “Do not do such a thing! What you are saying about Ishmael is a lie.”
Alaila, olelo aku la o Gedalia, ke keiki a Ahikama, ia Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea, Mai hana oe ia mea, no ka mea, he wahahee kau e olelo mai nei no Isemaela.
