< Jeremiah 29 >

1 And these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remnant of [the] elderly of the expulsion, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people—whom Nebuchadnezzar removed from Jerusalem to Babylon,
EIA na olelo o ka palapala a Ieremia, a ke kaula i hoouna aku ai, mai Ierusalema aku i ke koena o ka poe lunakahiko i lawepioia'ku la, a i na kahuna, a i na kaula, a i na kanaka a pau a Nebukaneza i lawepio ai, mai Ierusalema aku a Babulona;
2 after the going forth of Jeconiah the king, and the mistress, and the officers, heads of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsman, and the smith, from Jerusalem—
(Mahope iho o ka hele ana o Iekonia, ke alii, a me ke alii wahine, a me na luna a me na kaukaualii o ka Iuda a me Ierusalema, a me na kamana, a me na amara, a puka aku la mawaho o Ierusalema; )
3 by the hand of Eleasah son of Shaphan, and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying,
Ma ka lima o Elasa, ke keiki a Sapona, a me Gemaria, ke keiki a Hilekia, (na mea a Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda i hoouna aku ai i Babulona, io Nebukaneza la, i ke alii o Babulona, ) i iho la,
4 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, to all the expulsion that I removed from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, i ka poe a pau i lawepioia, na mea a'u i lawepio ai, mai Ierusalema aku a Babulona;
5 Build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit;
E kukulu hale oukou, a e noho iho; e kanu i na mahinaai, a e ai i kolaila ai:
6 take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and they bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and you are not few;
E mare i na wahine, a e hoohanau i na keikikane, a i na kaikamahine; a e lawe i na wahine na ka oukou poe keikikane, a e haawi aku hoi i ka oukou mau kaikamahine e mare i na kane, i hanau mai lakou i na keikikane, a i na kaikamahine; i kawowo oukou malaila, aole hoi e emi iho.
7 and seek the peace of the city to where I have removed you, and pray to YHWH for it, for in its peace you have peace.
A e imi oukou i ka mea e malu ai ke kulanakauhale, kahi a'u i lawepio ai ia oukou, a e pule aku oukou ia Iehova nona; no ka mea, ma kona malu oukou e malu ai.
8 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Do not let your prophets who [are] in your midst, and your diviners, lift you up, nor listen to their dreams, that you are causing [them] to dream;
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela; Mai puni oukou i ko oukou mau kaula, a me ko oukou mau kilokilo, na mea iwaenakonu o oukou; mai hoolohe hoi oukou i ko oukou moeuhane a oukou e hoomoe ai.
9 for they are prophesying with falsehood to you in My Name; I have not sent them, a declaration of YHWH.
No ka mea, ke wanana wahahee nei lakou ia oukou ma ko'u inoa. Aole au i hoouna ia lakou, wahi a Iehova.
10 For thus said YHWH: Surely at the fullness of Babylon—seventy years—I inspect you, and have established My good word toward you, to bring you back to this place.
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Mahope o ka pau ana o na makahiki he kanahiku ma Babulona, alaila, e ike aku no au ia oukou, a e hooko i ka'u olelo maikai ia oukou, i ka hoihoi ana mai ia oukou i keia wahi.
11 For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking toward you—a declaration of YHWH; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give posterity and hope to you.
No ka mea, ua ike no wau i na manao a'u e manao nei ia oukou, wahi a Iehova, he mau manao no ka hoomalu, aole no ke ahewa, e haawi ia oukou i hope maikai, a me ka hoolana.
12 And you have called Me, and have gone, and have prayed to Me, and I have listened to you,
Alaila oukou e hea mai ai ia'u, a e hele hoi oukou, a e pule mai ia'u, a e hoolohe no au ia oukou.
13 and you have sought Me, and have found, for you seek Me with all your heart;
A e imi mai no oukou ia'u a loaa, i ka wa e imi mai ai oukou ia'u me ko oukou naau a pau.
14 and I have been found by you—a declaration of YHWH; and I have turned back [to] your captivity, and have gathered you out of all the nations, and out of all the places to where I have driven you—a declaration of YHWH—and I have brought you back to the place from where I removed you.
A e loaa no wau ia oukou, wahi a Iehova, a e hoihoi aku au i ko oukou lawepioia; a e hoiliili hoi au ia oukou mai na aina a pau mai, a mai na wahi a pau mai, hahi a'u i kipaku aku ai ia oukou, wahi a Iehova; a e lawe hou no wau ia oukou i kahi malaila aku no wau i lawepio aku ai ia oukou.
15 Because you have said, YHWH has raised up prophets to us in Babylon,
No ka mea, ua olelo oukou, Na Iehova no i hoala mai i mau kaula no kakou ma Babulona.
16 surely thus said YHWH concerning the king who is sitting on the throne of David, and concerning all the people that are dwelling in this city, your brothers who did not go forth with you in the expulsion—
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova no ke alii e noho ana ma ka noho alii o Davida, a no na kanaka a pau e noho la iloko o keia kulanakauhale, a no ko oukou poe hoahanau i hele pu ole me oukou iloko o ke pio;
17 thus said YHWH of Hosts: Behold, I am sending the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, and I have given them up as figs that [are] vile, that are not eaten because of badness.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei; Aia hoi, e hoouna au i ka pahikaua maluna o lakou, a me ka wi, a me ka mai ahulau, a e hoolilo wau ia lakou e like me na fiku inoino, pono ole ke aiia, no ko lakou inoino loa.
18 And I have pursued after them with sword, with famine, and with pestilence, and have given them for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth, for a curse and for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for a reproach among all the nations to where I have driven them,
A e hahai no wau ia lakou i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a me ka mai ahulau, a e haawi no wau ia lakou a pau e laweia a iloko o na aupuni a pau o ka honua, i mea e poino ai, a i mea pilihua, a i mea hoowahawaha, a i mea henehene, iwaeua o na aina a pau, kahi a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou:
19 because that they have not listened to My words—a declaration of YHWH—that I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, and you did not listen—a declaration of YHWH.
No ka mea, aole lakou i hoolohe mai i ka'u mau olelo, wahi a Iehova, na olelo a'u i hoouna aku ai ia lakou ma ka'u mau kauwa, ma na kaula hoi, e ala ana i ka wanaao e hoouna, aka, aole oukou i hoolohe mai, wahi a Iehova.
20 And you, hear a word of YHWH, all you of the captivity that I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon—
E hoolohe hoi oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e oukou a pau o na mea pio, na mea a'u i hoouna aku ai, mai Ierusalema a Babulona:
21 thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning Ahab son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying falsehood to you in My Name: Behold, I am giving them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has struck them before your eyes,
Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, no Ahaba, ke koiki a Kolaia, a no Zedekia, ke keiki a Maaseia, na mea i wanana mai i ka wahahee ia oukou ma ko'u inoa; Aia hoi, e haawi no wau ia laua iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona; a e pepehi no oia ia laua imua o ko oukou mau maka:
22 and because of them a reviling has been taken by all the expulsion of Judah that [are] in Babylon, saying, YHWH sets you as Zedekiah, and as Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted with fire;
A ma o laua la e laweia'i ka olelo hoino e ka poe pio a pau o ka Iuda, na mea ma Babulona, me ka olelo iho, Na Iehova e hoohalike ia oe me Zedekia, a me Ahaba, na mea a ke alii o Babulona i ohinu ai ma ke ahi;
23 because that they have done folly in Israel, and commit adultery with the wives of their neighbors, and falsely speak a word in My Name that I have not commanded them, and I [am] He who knows and a witness—a declaration of YHWH.
No ka mea, ua hana laua i ka mea lapuwale maloko o ka Iseraela, a ua moe kolohe me na wahine a ko lakou hoalauna, a ua olelo i na olelo wahahee ma ko'u inoa, na mea a'u i kauoha ole ai ia lakou; ua ike no wau, a he hoike no hoi, wahi a Iehova.
24 And you speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
E olelo aku no hoi oe ia Semaia, i ka mea moeuhane, e i aku,
25 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, Because that you have sent letters in your name to all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o ua kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, me ka i ana mai, No ko hoouka ana i na palapala ma kou inoa i na kanaka a pau ma Ierusalema, a ia Zepania, ke keiki a Maaseia, ke kahuna, a i na kahuna a pau, i ka i ana ae,
26 YHWH has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, for there being inspectors of the house of YHWH over every man [who] is mad and making himself a prophet, and you have put him in the stocks and in the pillory.
Ua hoolilo o Iehova ia oe i kahuna, ma ka hakahaka o Iehoiada, ke kahuna, i mea e noho luna'i oukou maloko o ka hale o Iehova, no kela kanaka keia kanaka hewa-hewa, a hoolilo ia ia iho i kaula, i mea e hahao aku ai oe ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao, a iloko o na laau kupee:
27 And now, why have you not pushed against Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is making himself a prophet to you?
A ano la, no keaha la oe i papa ole aku ai ia Ieremia no Anetota, ka mea hoolilo ia ia iho i kaula no oukou?
28 Because that he has sent to us [in] Babylon, saying, It [is] long, build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit.”
No ka mea, nolaila ia i hoouna mai ai io makou ma Babulona nei, i ka i ana mai, Ua loihi keia noho ana; e kukulu hale oukou, a e noho iho; e kanu i ua mahinaai, a e ai i kolaila ai.
29 And Zephaniah the priest reads this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
A heluhelu aku la o Zepania, ke kahuna i keia palapala ma na pepeiao o Ieremia, ke kaula.
30 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova io Ieremia la, i mai la,
31 “Send to all the expulsion, saying, Thus said YHWH concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah prophesied to you, and I have not sent him, and he causes you to trust on falsehood,
E hoouna aku, a i ka poe a pau e noho pio ana, e i aku, Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova no Semaia, ka mea moeuhane; No ko Semaia wanana ana ia oukou, a hoouna ole aku au ia ia, a hoohilinai oia ia oukou i ka wahahee;
32 therefore, thus said YHWH: Behold, I am seeing after Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and after his seed, he has none dwelling in the midst of this people, nor does he look on the good that I am doing to My people,” a declaration of YHWH, “for he has spoken apostasy against YHWH.”
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, e hoopai no wau ia Semaia, ka mea moeuhane, a me kana hua; aole e loaa ia ia ke kanaka e noho mawaena o keia poe kanaka; aole hoi oia e ike i ka maikai a'u e hana'i no ko'u poe kanaka, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, ua ao aku oia i ke kipi ana ia Iehova.
