Jeremiah 37
1 And King Zedekiah son of Josiah reigns instead of Coniah son of Jehoiakim whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had caused to reign in the land of Judah,
Pea naʻe pule ʻae tuʻi ko Setikia ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e fetongi ʻo Konaia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiakimi, ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ko e tuʻi ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta, ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone.
2 and he has not listened—he, and his servants, and the people of the land—to the words of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fanongo ʻe ia, pe ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pe ko e kakai ʻoe fonua ki he ngaahi folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi he palōfita ko Selemaia.
3 And Zedekiah the king sends Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Pray, we implore you, for us to our God YHWH.”
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻa Sehukali, ko e foha ʻo Selemaia, pea mo Sefania ko e foha ʻo Māseia ko e taulaʻeiki, ki he palōfita ko Selemaia, ʻo pehē, “Hūfia ni ʻakimautolu kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua,”
4 And Jeremiah is coming in and going out in the midst of the people (and they have not put him in the prison-house),
He naʻe kei feʻaluʻaki pe ʻa Selemaia ʻi he kakai: he naʻe teʻeki ai tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula.
5 and the force of Pharaoh has come out of Egypt, and the Chaldeans who are laying siege against Jerusalem hear their report, and go up from off Jerusalem.
Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻae kautau ʻa Felo mei ʻIsipite: pea kuo fanongo ki ai ʻae kau Kalitia ʻakinautolu naʻe kāpui ʻa Selūsalema, naʻa nau ʻalu mei Selūsalema.
6 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ki he palōfita ko Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
7 “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Thus you say to the king of Judah who is sending you to Me, to seek Me: Behold, the force of Pharaoh that is coming out to you for help has turned back to its land, to Egypt,
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘Te ke lea ʻo pehē ki he tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe fekau koe kiate au ke ʻeke kiate au; “Vakai, ko e kau tau ʻa Felo ʻaia kuo haʻu ko e tokoni kiate kimoutolu, te nau toe ʻalu ki ʻIsipite ko honau fonua.
8 and the Chaldeans have turned back and fought against this city, and captured it, and burned it with fire.
Pea ʻe toe haʻu ʻae kau Kalitia ʻo tau mo e kolo ni, pea ʻe lavaʻi ia, pea tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi.”’
9 Thus said YHWH: Do not lift up your souls, saying, The Chaldeans surely go from off us, for they do not go;
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; ‘ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻo pehē, Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻalu ʻiate kitautolu ʻae kau Kalitia; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻalu.
10 for though you had struck all the force of the Chaldeans who are fighting with you, and there were left of them wounded men—they rise, each in his tent, and have burned this city with fire.”
Kapau naʻa mou taaʻi ʻae kautau kotoa pē ʻae kau Kalitia ʻaia naʻe tauʻi ʻakimoutolu, kae toe pe ʻae kau tangata kafo ʻiate kinautolu, ka te nau tuʻu hake ʻae tangata taki taha mei hono fale fehikitaki, pea tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻae kolo ni.”
11 And it has come to pass, in the going up of the force of the Chaldeans from off Jerusalem, because of the force of Pharaoh,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he mahuʻi ʻae tau ʻae kau Kalitia mei Selūsalema ko e manavahē ki he kau tau ʻa Felo,
12 that Jeremiah goes out from Jerusalem to go [to] the land of Benjamin, to receive a portion there in the midst of the people.
Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Selemaia ke mahuʻi mei Selūsalema ki he fonua ʻo Penisimani, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai ʻi ai.
13 And it comes to pass, he is at the Gate of Benjamin, and there [is] a master of the ward, and his name is Irijah son of Shelemiah, son of Hananiah; and he catches Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Chaldeans!”
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻi he matapā ʻo Penisimani, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻeiki ʻae fale fakapōpula, ko hono hingoa ko ʻIlisa, ko e foha ʻo Selemaia, ko e foha ʻo Hanania; pea naʻa ne puke ʻa Selemaia ko e palōfita, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ke hola ki he kau Kalitia.”
14 And Jeremiah says, “Falsehood! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans”; and he has not listened to him, and Irijah lays hold on Jeremiah, and brings him to the heads,
Pea pehē ʻe Selemaia, “ʻOku ʻikai moʻoni ia; ʻoku ʻikai te u hola ki he kau Kalitia.” Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tui kiate ia: Pea puke ʻe ʻIlisa ʻa Selemaia, pea ʻomi ia ki he houʻeiki.
15 and the heads are angry against Jeremiah, and have struck him, and put him in the prison-house—the house of Jonathan the scribe, for they had made it for a prison-house.
Pea naʻe ʻita ʻae houʻeiki kia Selemaia, pea taaʻi ia, pea tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula ʻi he fale ʻo Sonatapi ko e tangata tohi: he kuo nau ngaohi ia ko e fale fakapōpula.
16 When Jeremiah has entered into the house of the dungeon, and to the cells, then Jeremiah dwells there many days,
Pea kuo hū ʻa Selemaia ki he fale fakapoʻuli, pea mo hono ngaahi ʻana, pea nofo ai ʻa Selemaia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi;
17 and King Zedekiah sends, and takes him, and the king asks him in his house in secret, and says, “Is there a word from YHWH?” And Jeremiah says, “There is,” and he says, “You are given into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe Setikia ko e tuʻi ke ʻomi ia mei ai: pea fehuʻi fakafufū ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia ʻi hono fale, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ai ha folofola meia Sihova?” Pea pehē ʻe Selemaia, “ʻOku ai:” he naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE tukuange koe ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone.”
18 And Jeremiah says to King Zedekiah, “What have I sinned against you, and against your servants, and against this people, that you have put me into a prison-house?
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Selemaia, ki he tuʻi ko Setikia, “Ko e hā ʻeku kovi kuo u fai kiate koe, pe ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pe ki hoʻo kakai, koeʻuhi kuo mou tuku ai au ki he fale fakapōpula?
19 And where [are] your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon does not come in against you, and against this land?
Ko e fē homou kau palōfita naʻe kikite kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai tauʻi ʻakimoutolu, pe ko e fonua ni ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone?’
20 And now, please listen, O my lord the king; please let my supplication fall before you, and do not cause me to return [to] the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I do not die there.”
Ka ko eni, fanongo mai, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi: ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke lelei ʻeku kole ʻi ho ʻao; pea ʻoua naʻa pule ke toe ʻave au ki he fale ʻo Sonatapi ko e tangata tohi, telia naʻaku mate ai.”
21 And King Zedekiah commands, and they commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, also to give a cake of bread to him daily from the bakers’ street, until the consumption of all the bread of the city, and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison.
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe Setikia ko e tuʻi ke ʻave ʻa Selemaia ki he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, pea ke nau foaki kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻae konga mā mei he hala ʻoe kau tangata taʻo mā, ʻo aʻu ki he fakaʻosi ʻae mā kotoa pē ʻi he kolo. Ko ia naʻe nofo ʻa Selemaia ki he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula.
