< Jeremias 38 >

1 At that time, says the Lord, I will be a God to the family of Israel, and they shall be to me a people.
A LOHE o Sepatia, ke keiki a Matania, a me Gedalia ke keiki a Pasura, a me Iukala, ke keiki a Selemia, a me Pasura, ke keiki a Malekia, i na olelo a Ieremia i olelo ai i na kanaka a pau, i ka I ana ae,
2 Thus says the Lord, I found him warm in the wilderness with them that were slain with the sword: go you and destroy not Israel.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, O ka mea hoomau i kona noho ana ma keia kulanakauhale, e make no ia i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau. Aka, o ka mea hele aku i ko Kaledea, e ola ia; no ka mea, e haawiia kona ola i waiwaipio nona, a e ola ia.
3 The Lord appeared to him from afar, [saying], I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore have I drawn you in compassion.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Oiaio no, e haawiia keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ka poe kaua o ke alii o Babulona, a na lakou e hoopio ia wahi.
4 For I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: you shall yet take your timbrel, and go forth with the party of them that make merry.
Nolaila, olelo ae la na'lii i ke alii nui, Ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oe, e make keia kanaka; no ka mea, pela oia e hoonawaliwali nei i na lima o na kanaka kaua, ka poe e koe nei ma keia kulanakauhale, a me ka lima o na kanaka a pau, i kana olelo ana ia lakou i na olelo e like me ia: no ka mea, aole imi keia kanaka i ka mea e maluhia ai keia poe kanaka, aka, i ka mea e poino ai.
5 For you have planted vineyards on the mountains of Samaria: plant you, and praise.
Alaila, olelo ae la o Zedekia, ke alii, Aia hoi, aia no ia iloko o ko oukou mau lima; no ka mea, aole hiki i ke alii ke hana i kekahi mea ku e ia oukou.
6 For it is a day when those that plead on the mountains of Ephraim shall call, [saying], Arise you, and go up to Sion to the Lord your God.
Alaila, lalau mai la lakou ia Ieremia, a hahao ae la ia ia iloko o ka luawai o Malekia ke keiki a ke alii, ma ke kahua o ka halepaahao; a kuu iho la lakou ia Ieremia ilalo ma na kaula. Aohe wai iloko o ka luawai, he nenelu nae, a poho o Ieremia iloko o ka nenelu.
7 For thus says the Lord to Jacob; Rejoice you, and exult over the head of the nations: make proclamation, and praise you: say, The Lord has delivered his people, the remnant of Israel.
A lohe o Ebedemeleka, ka Aitiopa, he mea no ka hale o ke alii i poaia, ua hahao lakou ia Ieremia iloko o ka luawai; e noho ana no ke alii ma ka pukapa o Beniamina;
8 Behold, I bring them from the north, and will gather them from the end of the earth to the feast of the passover: and [the people] shall beget a great multitude, and they shall return hither.
Alaila, hele ae la o Ebedemeleka mailoko aku o ka hale o ke alii, a olelo ae la i ke alii, i ae la,
9 They went forth with weeping, and I will bring them back with consolation, causing them to lodge by the channels of waters in a straight way, and they shall not err in it: for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
E kuu haku, e ke alii, ua hana hewa keia poe kauaka, ma na mea a pau a lakou i hana aku ai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, i ka mea a lakou i hoolei ai iloko o ka luawai, a e make auanei oia i ka pololi ma kahi e noho ana oia; no ka mea, aohe berena e koe ma ke kulanakauhale.
10 Hear the words of the Lord, you nations, and proclaim [them] to the islands afar off; say, He that scattered Israel will also gather him, and keep him as one that feeds his flock.
Alaila, kauoha ae la ke alii ia Ebedemeleka i ka Aitiopa, i ae la, E lawe oe i kanakolu kanaka me oe, mai keia wahi aku, a hapai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, mailoko mai o ka luawai, mamua o kona make ana.
11 For the Lord has ransomed Jacob, he has rescued him out of the hand of them [that were] stronger than he.
Alaila, lawe o Ebedemeleka i mau kanaka me ia, a komo aku la iloko o ka hale o ke alii, malalo iho o ka waihona kala, a lawe aku la i mau welu kahiko a me na apana lole popopo, a kuu iho la ia mau mea ilalo i ka luawai io Ieremia la ma na kaula.
12 And they shall come, and shall rejoice in the mount of Sion, and shall come to the good things of the Lord, [even] to a land of corn, and wine, and fruits, and cattle, and sheep: and their soul shall be as a fruitful tree; and they shall hunger no more.
Olelo mai la o Ebedemeleka, ka Aitiopa ia Ieremia, E kau oe i keia mau welu kahiko, a me na apana lole popopo ma kou mau poee, malalo o na kaula. A hana iho la o Ieremia pela.
13 Then shall the virgins rejoice in the assembly of youth, and the old men shall rejoice; and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will make them merry.
A huki mai la lakou ia Ieremia, ma na kaula, a lawe ia ia mawaho aku o ka luawai. A noho o Ieremia ma ke kahua o ka hale paahao.
14 I will expand and cheer with wine the soul of the priests the sons of Levi, and my people shall be satisfied with my good things: thus says the Lord.
Alaila, hoouna mai la o Zedekia, ke alii, a lawe ae la ia Ieremia, i ke kaula io na la ma ke keena komo ekolu, aia ma ka hale o Iehova; a i mai la ke alii ia Ieremia, E ninau ana au ia oe i kekahi mea, mai huna iki mai oe ia'u.
15 A voice was heard in Rama, of lamentation, and of weeping, and wailing; Rachel would not cease weeping for her children, because they are not.
I aku la o Ieremia ia Zedekia, Oiaio anei, ina hai aku au ia oe, aole anei oe e pepehi mai ia'u? A ina ao aku au ia oe, aole anei e hoolohe mai ia'u?
16 Thus says the Lord; Let your voice cease from weeping, and your eyes from your tears: for their is a reward for your works; and they shall return from the land of [your] enemies.
Alaila, hoohiki malu o Zedekia, ke alii ia Ieremia, i mai la, Ma ko Iehova ola ana, ma ka mea nana i hana i keia uhane no kaua, aole au e pepehi ia oe, aole hoi au e haawi aku ia oe iloko o ka lima o keia poe kanaka e imi nei i kou ola.
17 [There shall be] an dwelling [home] for your children.
Alaila, hai aku la o Ieremia ia Zedekia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua, ke Akua o Iseraela, penei; Ina hele io aku oe i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, alaila, e ola no oe, aole hoi e puhiia keia kulanakauhale; a pela no oe e ola'i, a me ko kou hale.
18 I have heard the sound of Ephraim lamenting, [and saying], You have chastened me, and I was chastened; I as a calf was not [willingly] taught: turn you me, and I shall turn; for you [are] the Lord my God.
Aka, ina aole oe e hele aku i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, alaila, e haawiia no keia kulanakauhale i ka lima o ko Kaledea, a e puhi no lakou i keia wahi i ke ahi, aole hoi oe e pakele mailoko aku o ko lakou lima.
19 For after my captivity I repented; and after I knew, I groaned for the day of shame, and showed you that I bore reproach from my youth.
I mai la o Zedekia ke alii ia Ieremia, Ua makau wau i na Iudaio i haule i ko Kaledea, o haawi auanei lakou ia'u iloko o ko lakou lima, a hana ino mai lakou ia'u.
20 Ephraim is a beloved son, a pleasing child to me: for because my words are in him, I will surely remember him: therefore I made haste [to help] him; I will surely have mercy upon him, says the Lord.
I aku la o Ieremia, Aole lakou o haawi. Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e malama i ka leo o Iehova a'u e hai aku nei ia oe; pela e pomaikai ai oe, a e ola no oe.
21 Prepare yourself, O Sion; execute vengeance; look to your ways: return, O virgin of Israel, by the way by which you went, return mourning to your cities.
A ina hoole oe, aole hele aku, eia ka olelo a Iehova ana i hoike mai ai ia'u.
22 How long, O disgraced daughter, will you turn away? for the Lord has created safety for a new plantation: men shall go about in safety.
Aia hoi, o na wahine a pau i koe ma ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda, e laweia'ku lakou i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, a e olelo no lakou, O kou mau makamaka ka i hooikaika ia oe a ua lanakila lakou maluna ou, a ua poho kou mau wawae ilalo i ka lepo, a ua hele hope laua.
23 For thus says the Lord; They shall yet speak this word in the land of Juda, and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn his captivity; blessed be the Lord on his righteous holy mountain!
A e lawe aku no lakou i kau mau wahine a pau, a me kau mau keiki a pau i ko Kaledea; aole oe e pakele, mai ko lakou lima aku, aka, e paa auanei oe i ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a nau no e puhiia'i keia kulanakauhale i ke ahi.
24 And there shall be dwellers in the cities of Juda, and in all his land, together with the husbandman, and [the shepherd] shall go forth with the flock.
Olelo mai la o Zedekia ia Ieremia, Mai hoike aku i keia mau olelo i kekahi kanaka, alaila, aole oe e make.
25 For I have saturated every thirsting soul, and filled every hungry soul.
Aka, ina lohe na'lii ua kamailio pu kaua me oe, a hele mai lakou iou nei, a olelo mai ia oe, Ea, e hai mai oe ia makou i ka mea au i hai aku ai i ke alii, mai huna ia mea ia makou, alaila, aole makou e pepehi aku ia oe; a i ka mea hoi a ke alii i olelo mai ai ia oe.
26 Therefore I awake, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
Alaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou, Nonoi aku au i ke alii i ole au e hoihoiia'ku i ka hale o Ionatana e make malaila.
27 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Juda with the seed of man, and the seed of beast.
A hele mai na'lii a pau io Ieremia la, a ninau mai la ia ia, a hai aku no oia ia lakou, e like me na olelo a pau a ke alii nui i kauoha mai ai: nolaila, haalele lakou ia ia, no ka mea, aole i ikeia ia mea.
28 And it shall come to pass, that as I watched over them, to pull down, and to afflict, so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, says the Lord.
A noho o Ieremia ma ke kahua o ka halepaahao a hiki i ka la i pio ai o Ierusalema; a malaila no oia i ka wa i pio ai o Ierusalema.
29 In those days they shall certainly not say, The fathers ate a sour grape, and the children's teeth were set on edge.
30 But every one shall die in his own sin; and the teeth of him that eats the sour grape shall be set on edge.
31 Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda:
32 not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took hold of their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; for they abode not in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
33 For this is my covenant which I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, says the Lord, I will surely put my laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
34 And they shall not at all teach every one his [fellow] citizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them: for I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.
35 Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the moon and the stars for a light by night, and [makes] a roaring in the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; the Lord Almighty is his name:
36 if these ordinances cease from before me, says the Lord, then shall the family of Israel cease to be a nation before me forever.
37 Though the sky should be raised to a [greater] height, says the Lord, and though the ground of the earth should be sunk [lower] beneath, yet I will not cast off the family of Israel, says the Lord, for all that they have done.
38 Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Anameel to the gate of the corner.
39 And the measurement of it shall proceed in front of them as far as the hills of Gareb, and it shall be compassed with a circular wall of choice stones.
40 And all the Asaremoth even to Nachal Kedron, as far as the corner of the horse-gate eastward, shall be holiness to the Lord; and it shall not fail any more, and shall not be destroyed for ever.
