Jeremiah 21
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when king Zedekiah sent Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to him, saying:
KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai i ka wa i hoouna aku ai o Zedekia, ke alii, io na la, ia Pasehura, ke keiki a Malekia, a me Zepania, ke keiki a Maaseia, ke kahuna, i aku la,
2 “Question the Lord on our behalf, for Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, is fighting against us. Perhaps it may be that the Lord will act toward us according to all his wonders, and he may withdraw from us.”
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e noi aku ia Iehova no kakou; no ka mea, ke kaua mai nei o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona ia kakou; ina paha e hana mai o Iehova ia kakou, e like me kana hana kupanaha a pau, i pii aku ke alii o Babulona, mai o kakou aku.
3 And Jeremiah said to them: “This is what you shall say to Zedekiah:
Alaila, olelo mai la o Ieremia ia lakou, Penei oukou e olelo aku ai ia Zedekia;
4 Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans, who besiege you at the surrounding walls. And I will gather these things together in the midst of this city.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela peneia, Aia hoi, e hoihoi hope aku no au i na mea kaua, na mea maloko o ko oukou lima, na mea a oukou i kaua ai i ke alii o Babulona, a i ko Kaledea, ka poe hoopilikia mai ia oukou mawaho o na pa, a e hoiliili au ia mau mea maloko o keia kulanakauhale.
5 And I myself will make war against you: with an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, and in fury, and in indignation, and in great wrath.
A owau no kekahi e kaua aku ia oe, me ka lima kakauha, a me ka lima ikaika, me ka huhu no, a me ka inaina, a me ka ukiuki loa.
6 And I will strike the inhabitants of this city; men and beasts will die from a great pestilence.
A e hahau no wau i ka poe noho ma keia kulauakauhale, i kanaka, a me na holoholona; a e make no lakou i ka mai ahulau nui.
7 And afterward, thus says the Lord: I will give Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his servants, and his people, and those who have been left behind in this city after pestilence and the sword and famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their lives. And he will strike them with the edge of the sword. And he will not waver, and he will not be lenient, and he will not take pity.
A mahope iho, wahi a Iehova, e haawi no wau ia Zedekia, i ke alii o ka Iuda, a me kana poe kauwa, a me kona poe kanaka, na mea o keia kulanakauhale i koe i ke ahulau, a me ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza, o ke alii o Babulona, a iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, a iloko o ka lima o ka poe imi i ko lakou ola; a e hahau mai no oia ia lakou i ka maka o ka pahikaua. Aole ia e hookoe ia lakou, aole e aloha mai, aole hoi e lokomaikai mai.
8 And to this people, you shall say: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
Ae olelo aku oe i keia poe kanaka, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, ke kau nei au imua o oukou i ka aoao o ke ola, a me ka aoao o ka make.
9 Whoever lives in this city will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence. But whoever will have departed and fled away to the Chaldeans, who besiege you, will live, and his life will be to him like a spoil.
O ka mea e noho ma keia kulanakauhale, e make no ia i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a me ka mai ahulau; aka, o ka mea puka aku iwaho, a haule aku i ko Kaledea, ka poe e hoopilikia ana ia oukou, e ola no ia, a e koe no kona ola i waiwaipio nona iho.
10 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, says the Lord. It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.
No ka mea, ua hooku e au i ko'u maka i keia kulanakauhale, ma ka hewa, aole ma ka maikai, wahi a Iehova; a e haawiia ia iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a e puhi oia i keia wahi i ke ahi.
11 And to the house of the king of Judah, you shall say: Listen to the word of the Lord,
E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, no ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda.
12 O house of David! Thus says the Lord: Judge with judgment from early morning, and rescue anyone who is oppressed by violence from the hand of a false accuser. Otherwise, my indignation may go forth like a fire, and may flare up, and there will be no one who can extinguish it, because of the evil of your intentions.
E ko ka hale o Davida, ke i mai nei o Iehova peneia, E hana oukou i ka hooponopono i kakahiaka, a e hoopakele i ka mea i haoia, mai ka lima aku o ka mea hookaumaha, o puka aku ko'u ukiuki, e like me ke ahi, a e a hoi, aole mea e hiki ia ia ke kinai, no ka hewa o ka oukou hana ana.
13 Behold, I am against you, O inhabitants of a valley with firm and level ground, says the Lord. And you say: ‘Who can strike us? And who can enter into our houses?’
Aia hoi, ua ku e no wau ia oe, e ka mea noho ma ke awawa, a ma ka pohaku o ka papu hoi, wahi a Iehova, ka poe olelo, Owai la ka mea iho ilalo e ku e ia makou? Owai la ka mea e komo iloko o ko makou wahi noho ai?
14 But I will visit against you according to the fruit of your intentions, says the Lord. And I will kindle a fire in its forest. And it shall devour everything around it.”
Aka, e hoopai aku au ia oukou, e like me ka hua o ka oukou hana ana, wahi a Iehova; a e puhi no wau i ke ahi iloko o kolaila ululaau, a e hoopau no ia i na mea a pau, a puni ia wahi.
