Jeremiah 40
1 The word that came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had dismissed him from Ramah, when he had taken him as he was bound in chains in the midst of all the exiles of Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away into exile unto 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 Then took the captain of the guard Jeremiah, and said unto him, The Lord thy God had spoken this evil over 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 Now the Lord hath brought it [to fulfillment], and hath done according as he had spoken; because ye had sinned against the Lord, and had not hearkened to his voice; and therefore is this thing come upon 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 And now, behold, I have freed thee this day from the chains which were upon thy hand. If it seem good in thy eyes to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will direct my eye unto thee; but if it seem ill in thy eyes to come with me to Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee; whither it seemeth good and proper in thy eyes to go, thither go.
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 And as he did not yet turn about, [he said, ] Go then back to Gedalyah the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath appointed governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him in the midst of the people; or wheresoever it seemeth proper in thy eyes to go, go. And the captain of the guard gave him an allowance and a present, and then dismissed 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 did Jeremiah come unto Gedalyah the son of Achikam to Mizpah; and he dwelt with him in the midst of the people that had been 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 Now when all the captains of the armies who were in the field, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedalyahu the son of Achikam governor over the land, and that he had entrusted unto him men, and women, and children, and these of the poorest of the land, of those that had not been carried away into exile 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 Then came they to Gedalyah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethanyahu, and Jochanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareach, and Serayah the son of Tanchumeth, and the sons of 'Ephai the Netophathite, and Yezanyahu the son of a Ma'achathite, 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 And Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan swore unto them and unto their men, saying, Have no fear to serve the Chaldeans: remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be 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, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans, who will come unto us; but ye, gather ye together wine, and summer-fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities of which ye have taken possession.
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 And so likewise all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of 'Ammon, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant unto Judah, and that he had appointed over them Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan;
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 And then did all the Jews return out of all places whither they had been driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedalyahu, unto Mizpah, and gathered together wine and summer-fruits in very great abundance.
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 And Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were in the field, came to Gedalyahu to 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 they said unto him, Dost thou at all know that Ba'alis the king of the children of 'Ammon hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethanyah to deprive thee of life? But Gedalyahu the son of Achikam believed them not.
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 And Jochanan the son of Kareach said to Gedalyahu secretly in Mizpah, as followeth, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and no man shall know of it: wherefore should he deprive thee of life, whereby all the Jews who are gathered unto thee would be scattered, and the remnant of Judah be lost?
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 Gedalyahu the son of Achikam said unto Jochanan the son of Kareach, Thou shalt not do this thing; for thou speakest a falsehood concerning Ishmael.
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.
