Jeremiah 32
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah—it [is] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar—
Ko e folofola naʻe haʻu kia Selemaia meia Sihova ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu taʻu ʻo Nepukanesa.
2 And then the forces of the king of Babylon are laying siege against Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet has been shut up in the court of the prison that [is] in the house of the king of Judah,
He naʻe kāpui ʻa Selūsalema ʻe he kau tau ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe tuku ʻa Selemaia ko e palōfita ki he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
3 where Zedekiah king of Judah has shut him up, saying, “Why are you prophesying, saying, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he has captured it;
He kuo tuku ia ki ai ʻe Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke kikite ai, ʻo lea, ‘ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, Vakai, te u tukuange ʻae kolo ni ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne kapa ia;
4 and Zedekiah king of Judah does not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but is certainly given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and his mouth has spoken with his mouth, and his eyes see his eyes,
Pea ʻe ʻikai hao ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta mei he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia, ka ʻe tukuange moʻoni ia ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne alea mo ia, ko e ngutu ki he ngutu, pea ʻe mamata ia ki hono mata.
5 and he leads Zedekiah [to] Babylon, and there he is until My inspecting him—a declaration of YHWH—because you fight with the Chaldeans, you do not prosper.”
Pea te ne tataki ʻa Setikia ki Papilone, pea te ne nofo ai, ke ʻoua ke u ʻaʻahi kiate ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova: “pea kapau te mou tau mo e kau Kalitia, ʻe ʻikai te mou monūʻia.”’”
6 And Jeremiah says, “A word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Selemaia, “Naʻe haʻu kiate au, ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
7 Behold, Hanameel son of Shallum, your uncle, is coming to you, saying, Buy my field that [is] in Anathoth for yourself, for the right of redemption [is] yours to buy.”
‘Vakai, ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻa Hanamili ko e foha ʻo Salumi ko e tokoua ʻo hoʻo tamai, ʻo pehē, fakatau moʻou ʻae ngoue ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ʻAnatoti: he ʻoku totonu ke ke fakatau ia ʻo hangē ko e fono ʻoe huhuʻi.”’”
8 And Hanameel, my uncle’s son, comes to me, according to the word of YHWH, to the court of the prison, and says to me, “Please buy my field that [is] in Anathoth, that [is] in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession [is] yours, and redemption yours—buy [it] for yourself.” And I know that it [is] the word of YHWH,
“Ko ia naʻe haʻu kiate au ki he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula ʻa Hanamili ko e foha ʻoe tokoua ʻeku tamai, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, pea ne pehē kiate au, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakatau ʻeku ngoue ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ʻAnatoti, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ʻo Penisimani: he ʻoku ʻaʻau ia ʻo hangē ko e fono ʻoe hoko, pea ʻoku ʻiate koe hono huhuʻi; ke ke fakatau ia maʻau.’ “Pea naʻaku toki ʻilo tā ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova.
9 and I buy the field that [is] in Anathoth from Hanameel, my uncle’s son, and I weigh the money to him—seventeen shekels of silver.
Pea naʻaku fakatau ʻae ngoue ʻa Hanamili ko e foha ʻoe tokoua ʻo ʻeku tamai, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ʻAnatoti, pea u fakatatau ʻae paʻanga kiate ia, ko e sikeli siliva ʻe hongofulu ma fitu.
10 And I write in a scroll, and seal, and cause witnesses to testify, and weigh the silver in balances;
Pea naʻaku tohi ʻae tohi, pea fakamaʻu ia, pea naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻe he kau fakamoʻoni, pea u fakamamafa kiate ia ʻae paʻanga ʻi he meʻa fakatatau.
11 and I take the purchase scroll, the sealed one, according to law and custom, and the open one;
Pea ne u toʻo fakatouʻosi ʻae fakamoʻoni ki he fakatau, ʻaia naʻe fakamaau, pea mo ia naʻe ʻikai fakamaau, ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻoe fono:
12 and I give the purchase scroll to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, before the eyes of Hanameel, my uncle’s son, and before the eyes of the witnesses, those writing in the purchase scroll, before the eyes of all the Jews who are sitting in the court of the prison.
Pea u foaki ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻae fakatau kia Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelia, ko e foha ʻo Māseia, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Hanamili ko e foha ʻoe tokoua ʻo ʻeku tamai, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamoʻoni naʻe tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fakatau, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau Siu naʻe nofo ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula.
13 And I charge Baruch before their eyes, saying,
“Pea naʻaku fekau kia Paluki ʻi honau ʻao, ʻo pehē,
14 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Take these scrolls, this purchase scroll, both the sealed one and the open one, and you have put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain many days.
ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘Toʻo ʻae ngaahi fakamoʻoni ki he fakatau, ʻaia ʻoku fakamaʻu, mo ia ʻoku taʻefakamaʻu fakatouʻosi; pea ʻai ia ki he ipu kelekele, koeʻuhi ke tolonga ia ki he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.’
15 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards are bought in this land again.”
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘ʻE toe maʻu ʻae ngaahi fale, mo e ngaahi ngoue, pea mo e ngaahi ngoue vaine ʻi he fonua ni.’
16 And I pray to YHWH after my giving the purchase scroll to Baruch son of Neriah, saying,
Pea hili ʻeku tukuange ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻoe fakatau kia Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelia, naʻaku toki lotu kia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
17 “Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power, and by Your outstretched arm; there is nothing too wonderful for You:
“ʻEiki ko Sihova! Vakai, kuo ke ngaohi ʻae langi pea mo māmani ʻi ho mālohi lahi pea mo e nima mafao, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku faingataʻa kiate koe:
18 doing kindness to thousands, and repaying iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their sons after them; God, the great, the mighty, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name;
Kuo ke fakahā ʻa hoʻo ʻulungāanga ʻofa ki he ngaahi toko afe, pea ʻoku ke totongi ʻae hia ʻae ngaahi tamai ki he fatafata ʻo ʻenau fānau ʻoku muimui ʻiate kinautolu: ko e ʻOtua Lahi, pea Māfimafi, Ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau hono huafa,
19 great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Your eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
Ko e lahi ia ʻi he fakakaukau, pea mālohi ʻi he ngāue: he ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi faianga ʻoe ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata ʻa ho fofonga: ke ʻatu taki taha kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko hono ngaahi hala, pea hangē ko e fua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faianga:
20 in that you have done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt to this day, and in Israel, and among men, and You make for Yourself a name as [at] this day.
ʻA koe naʻa ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea mo ʻIsileli, pea ki he ngaahi kakai kehe, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni; pea kuo ke fakaongoongoa ho huafa, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he ʻaho ni;
21 And You bring forth Your people Israel from the land of Egypt, with signs and with wonders, and by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great fear,
Pea kuo ke ʻomi ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo, ʻaki ʻae nima mālohi, pea mo e nima mafao atu, pea mo e meʻa fakailifia lahi;
22 and you give to them this land that you swore to their fathers to give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey,
Pea kuo ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae fonua ni, ʻaia naʻa ke fuakava ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai te ke foaki kiate kinautolu, ko e fonua ʻoku fetāfeaki ai ʻae huʻahuhu pea mo e meʻa huʻamelie
23 and they come in, and possess it, and they have not listened to Your voice, and have not walked in Your law, all that which You laid a charge on them to do they have not done, and You proclaim all this calamity [to] them.
Pea naʻa nau hū ki ai, ʻo maʻu ia ka naʻe ʻikai te nau talangofua ki ho leʻo, pe ʻaʻeva ʻi hoʻo fono; naʻe ʻikai te nau fai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ke fekau kiate kinautolu ke nau fai: ko ia kuo ke fakahoko kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi kovi ni kotoa pē:
24 Behold, the [siege] mounds have come to the city to capture it, and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence; and that which You have spoken has come to pass, and behold, You are seeing.
“Vakai ki he teu tau, kuo nau haʻu ki he kolo ke kapa ia; pea kuo tukuange ʻae kolo ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia, ʻoku tauʻi ʻaki ia ʻae heletā, mo e honge, mo e mahaki fakaʻauha, pea ko ia naʻa ke folofola ki ai kuo hoko; pea vakai, ʻoku ke ʻafio ki ai.
25 Yet You have said to me, O Lord YHWH, Buy the field for yourself with money, and cause witnesses to testify—and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!”
Pea naʻa ke pehē kiate au, ‘ʻE ʻEiki ko Sihova, Ke ke fakatauʻaki ʻae ngoue ʻae paʻanga, pea fili ha kau fakamoʻoni;’ he kuo tukuange ʻae kolo ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia.”
26 And the word of YHWH is to Jeremiah, saying,
Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
27 “Behold, I [am] YHWH, God of all flesh: is anything too wonderful for Me?”
“Vakai, Ko au ko Sihova, Ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai kotoa pē: ʻoku ai ha meʻa ʻe faingataʻa kiate au?
28 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has captured it.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; Vakai, te u tukuange ʻae kolo ni ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia, pea ki he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne maʻu ia:
29 And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city have come in, and they have set this city on fire, and have burned it—and the houses on whose roofs they made incense to Ba‘al, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger.
Pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kau Kalitia, ʻo tauʻi ʻae kolo ni, pea te nau tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻae kolo ni, pea tungia mo e ngaahi fale, ʻaia naʻa nau tutu ai ʻi he tuʻa fale ʻae meʻa namu kakala kia Peali, pea lilingi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau inu ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ke fakahouhauʻi au.
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only evil in My eyes from their youth; for the sons of Israel are surely provoking Me with the work of their hands,” a declaration of YHWH.
“He kuo fai kovi pe ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo e fānau ʻa Siuta talu ʻenau kei siʻi: he kuo fakahouhau ʻaki pe au ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae ngāue ʻa honau nima, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
31 “For this city has been a cause of My anger and a cause of My fury, even from the day that they built it, and to this day—to turn it aside from before My face,
He kuo hoko kiate au ʻae kolo ni ko e tupuʻanga ʻo ʻeku tuputāmaki mo hoku houhau talu mei he ʻaho naʻa nau langa ai ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni; koeʻuhi ke u hiki ia mei hoku ʻao,
32 because of all the evil of the sons of Israel, and of the sons of Judah that they have done, so as to provoke Me—they, their kings, their heads, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Koeʻuhi ko e kovi kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli pea mo e fānau ʻa Siuta, ʻaia kuo nau fakahouhauʻi au, ko kinautolu, mo honau ngaahi tuʻi, mo honau houʻeiki, mo honau kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo honau kau palōfita, pea mo e kau tangata ʻo Siuta, pea mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema.
33 And they turn the neck to Me, and not the face, and teaching them, rising early and teaching, and they are not listening to accept instruction.
Pea kuo nau fulituʻa kiate au, pea fakahanga atu honau mata: ka naʻaku ako kiate kinautolu, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake ke akoʻi ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga ke maʻu ʻae akonaki.
34 And they set their abominations in the house over which My Name is called, so as to defile it.
Ka naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻi he fale, ʻaia ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa hoku huafa, ke fakaʻuliʻi ia.
35 And they build the high places of Ba‘al that [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through to Molech, which I did not command them, nor did it come up on My heart to do this abomination, so as to cause Judah to sin.
Pea kuo nau langa ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo Peali, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ke pule ki honau ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ke ʻalu [ʻi he afi ]kia Moleki; ʻaia naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai ia, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te u loto ki ai, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai ʻae meʻa fakalielia ni, ke fakaangahalaʻi ʻaki ʻa Siuta.”
36 And now, therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Israel, concerning this city, of which you are saying, It has been given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
Pea ko eni, ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he kolo ni, ʻaia ʻoku mou pehē ki ai, “ʻE tukuange ia ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi he heletā, mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha:”
37 Behold, I am gathering them out of all the lands to where I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath, and I have brought them back to this place, and have caused them to dwell confidently;
“Vakai, te u tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻaku kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai ʻi heʻeku tuputāmaki, mo hoku houhau, pea mo hoku houhau lahi; pea te u toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he potu ni pea te u pule ke nau nofo ʻi he fiemālie:
38 and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God;
Pea te nau hoko ko hoku kakai, pea te u hoko ko honau ʻOtua:
39 and I have given to them one heart and one way, to fear Me all the days, for the good of them and their sons after them:
Pea te u foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae loto pe taha, mo e hala pe taha, koeʻuhi ke nau manavahē kiate au ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi ke nau lelei ai, pea lelei mo ʻenau fānau ki mui ʻiate kinautolu:
40 and I have made a perpetual covenant for them, in that I do not turn back from after them for My doing them good, and I put My fear in their heart, so as not to turn aside from me;
Pea te u fai mo kinautolu ʻae fuakava taʻengata, ʻe ʻikai te u tafoki meiate kinautolu, ʻi he fai lelei kiate kinautolu; ka te u ʻai ki honau loto ʻae manavahē kiate au, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau liʻaki au.
41 and I have rejoiced over them to do them good, and have planted them in this land in truth, with all my heart, and with all My soul.”
ʻIo, te u fiefia ʻiate kinautolu, ke fai lelei kiate kinautolu, pea ko e moʻoni te u tō ʻakinautolu ʻi he fonua ni ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pea mo hoku laumālie kotoa.”
42 For thus said YHWH: “As I brought to this people all this great calamity, so I am bringing on them all the good that I am speaking concerning them;
“He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; ʻO hangē kuo u ʻomi ʻae kovi lahi ni kotoa pē ki he kakai ni, ʻe pehē foki ʻeku ʻomi ʻae lelei kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u talaʻofa ki ai kiate kinautolu.
43 and the field has been bought in this land of which you are saying, It [is] a desolation, without man and beast, it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Pea ʻe fakatau ʻae ngaahi ngoue ʻi he fonua ni, ʻaia ʻoku mou pehē ki ai, ʻOku lala ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata pe ha manu ʻi ai; kuo tukuange ia ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia.
44 They buy fields with money, so as to write in a scroll, and to seal, and to cause witnesses to testify, in the land of Benjamin, and in outskirts of Jerusalem, and in cities of Judah, and in cities of the hill-country, and in cities of the low country, and in cities of the south, for I return their captivity,” a declaration of YHWH.
ʻE fakatau ʻe he kakai ʻae ngaahi ngoue ʻaki ʻae paʻanga, pea ʻe tohi ʻae ngaahi tohi fakamoʻoni, pea fakamaʻu ia, pea ʻe maʻu ʻae kau fakamoʻoni ʻi he fonua ʻo Penisimani, pea mo e ngaahi potu ofi ki Selūsalema, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻi he potu moʻunga, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻi he potu tokalelei, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻoe feituʻu tonga: he te u liliu ʻenau pōpula,” ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova.
