Jeremiah 38
1 Now Saphatias the son of Mathan, and Gedelias the son of Phassur, and Juchal the son of Selemias, and Phassur the son of Melchias heard the words that Jeremias spoke to all the people, saying:
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 saith the Lord: Whosoever shell remain in this city, shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: but he that shall go forth to the Chaldeans, shall live, and his life shall be safe, and he shall live.
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 Thus saith the Lord: This city shall surely be delivered into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.
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 And the princes said to the king: We beseech thee that this man may be put to death: for on purpose he weakeneth the hands of the men of war, that remain in this city, and the hands of the people, speaking to them according to these words: for this man seeketh not peace to this people, but evil.
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 And king Sedecias said: Behold he is in your hands: for it is not lawful for the king to deny you any thing.
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 Then they took Jeremias and cast him into the dungeon of Melchias the son of Amelech, which was in the entry of the prison: and they let down Jeremias by ropes into the dungeon, wherein there was no water, but mire. And Jeremias sunk into the mire.
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 Now Abdemelech the Ethiopian, an eunuch that was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremias in the dungeon: but the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin.
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 And Abdemelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying:
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 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done against Jeremias the prophet, casting him into the dungeon to die there with hunger, for there is no more bread in the city.
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 Then the king commanded Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying: Take from hence thirty men with thee, and draw up Jeremias the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
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 So Abdemelech taking the men with him, went into the king’s house that was under the storehouse: and he took from thence old rags, and old rotten things, and he let them down by cords to Jeremias into the dungeon.
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 Abdemelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremias: Put these old rags and these rent and rotten things under thy arms, and upon the cords: and Jeremias did so.
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 And they drew up Jeremias with the cords, and brought him forth out of the dungeon. And Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison.
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 And king Sedecias sent, and took Jeremias the prophet to him to the third gate, that was in the house of the Lord: and the king said to Jeremias: I will ask thee a thing, hide nothing from me.
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 Then Jeremias said to Sedecias: If I shall declare it to thee, wilt thou not put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken to me.
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 Then king Sedecias swore to Jeremias, in private, saying: As the Lord liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, nor will I deliver thee into the hands of these men that seek thy life.
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 And Jeremias said to Sedecias: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: If thou wilt take a resolution and go out to the princes of the king of Babylon, thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burnt with fire: and thou shalt be safe, and thy house.
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 But if thou wilt not go out to the princes of the king of Babylon, this city shall be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire: and thou shalt not escape out of their hands.
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 And king Sedecias said to Jeremias: I am afraid because of the Jews that are fled over to the Chaldeans: lest I should be delivered into their hands, and they should abuse me.
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 But Jeremias answered: They shall not deliver thee: hearken, I beseech thee, to the word of the Lord, which I speak to thee, and it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live.
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 But if thou wilt not go forth, this is the word which the Lord hath shewn me:
A ina hoole oe, aole hele aku, eia ka olelo a Iehova ana i hoike mai ai ia'u.
22 Behold all the women that are left in the house of the king of Juda, shall be brought out to the princes of the king of Babylon: and they shall say: Thy men of peace have deceived thee, and have prevailed against thee, they have plunged thy feet in the mire, and in a slippery place, and they have departed from thee.
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 And all thy wives, and thy children shall be brought out to the Chaldeans, and thou shalt not escape their hands, but thou shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and he shall burn this city with fire.
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 Then Sedecias said to Jeremias: Let no man know these words, and thou shalt not die.
Olelo mai la o Zedekia ia Ieremia, Mai hoike aku i keia mau olelo i kekahi kanaka, alaila, aole oe e make.
25 But if the princes shall hear that I have spoken with thee, and shall come to thee, and say to thee: Tell us what thou hast said to the king, hide it not from us, and we will not kill thee: and also what the king said to thee:
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 Thou shalt say to them: I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not command me to be carried back into the house of Jonathan, to die there.
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 So all the princes came to Jeremias, and asked him: and he spoke to them according to all the words that the king had commanded him: and they left him: for nothing had been heard.
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 But Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison, until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and it came to pass that Jerusalem was taken.
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.
