< Jeremias 40 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, when he was yet bound in the court of the prison, saying,
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 Thus says the Lord, who made the earth and formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;
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 Cry to me, and I will answer you, and I will declare to you great and mighty things, which you know not.
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 For thus says the Lord concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the king of Juda, which have been pulled down for mounds and fortifications,
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 to fight against the Chaldeans, and to fill it with the corpses of men, whom I struck in mine anger and my wrath, and turned away my face from them, for all their wickedness:
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 Behold, I bring upon her healing and cure, and I will show [myself] to them, and will heal her, and make both peace and security.
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 And I will turn the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Israel, and will build them, even as before.
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 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and will not remember their sins, whereby they have sinned against me, and revolted from me.
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 And it shall be for joy and praise, and for glory to all the people of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I will do: and they shall fear and be provoked for all the good things and for all the peace which I will bring upon them.
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 Thus says the Lord; There shall yet be heard in this place, of which you say, it is destitute of men and cattle, in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, [the places] that have been made desolate for lack of men and cattle,
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 the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of men saying, Give thanks to the Lord Almighty: for the Lord is good; for his mercy [endures] fore ever: and they shall bring gifts into the house of the Lord; for I will turn all the captivity of that land as before, said the Lord.
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 Thus says the Lord of hosts; There shall yet be in this place, that is desert for lack of man and beast, in all the cities thereof, resting-places for shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
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 In the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the [cities] round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda, flocks shall yet pass under the hand of him that numbers [them], says the Lord.
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,
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.
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?
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.
