Jeremiah 38
1 And, when Shephatiah son of Mattan and Gedaliah son of Pashhur and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah, heard the words which Jeremiah was speaking unto all the people saying:
A LOHE o Sepatia, ke keiki a Matania, a me Gedalia ke keiki a Pasura, a me Iukala, ke keiki a Selemia, a me Pasura, ke keiki a Malekia, i na olelo a Ieremia i olelo ai i na kanaka a pau, i ka I ana ae,
2 Thus saith Yahweh, He that remaineth in this city shall die, by sword by famine, or by pestilence, —whereas, he that goeth forth unto the Chaldeans, shall live, so shall he have his life for a spoil, and shall live.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, O ka mea hoomau i kona noho ana ma keia kulanakauhale, e make no ia i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau. Aka, o ka mea hele aku i ko Kaledea, e ola ia; no ka mea, e haawiia kona ola i waiwaipio nona, a e ola ia.
3 Thus, saith Yahweh, —This city shall surely be given, into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Oiaio no, e haawiia keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ka poe kaua o ke alii o Babulona, a na lakou e hoopio ia wahi.
4 Then said the princes unto the king, —Let this man we pray thee, be put to death, for in this way, is he weakening the hands of the men of war who are left in this, city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking unto them such words as these; for, this man, is not seeking prosperity for this people but misfortune.
Nolaila, olelo ae la na'lii i ke alii nui, Ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oe, e make keia kanaka; no ka mea, pela oia e hoonawaliwali nei i na lima o na kanaka kaua, ka poe e koe nei ma keia kulanakauhale, a me ka lima o na kanaka a pau, i kana olelo ana ia lakou i na olelo e like me ia: no ka mea, aole imi keia kanaka i ka mea e maluhia ai keia poe kanaka, aka, i ka mea e poino ai.
5 Then said King Zedekiah, —Lo! he is in your hand; for the king is not one who is able to do anything against you.
Alaila, olelo ae la o Zedekia, ke alii, Aia hoi, aia no ia iloko o ko oukou mau lima; no ka mea, aole hiki i ke alii ke hana i kekahi mea ku e ia oukou.
6 Then took they Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah son of the king, which was in the guard-court, and they let Jeremiah down with ropes, —now, in the dungeon, was no water only mire, so Jeremiah sank in the mire.
Alaila, lalau mai la lakou ia Ieremia, a hahao ae la ia ia iloko o ka luawai o Malekia ke keiki a ke alii, ma ke kahua o ka halepaahao; a kuu iho la lakou ia Ieremia ilalo ma na kaula. Aohe wai iloko o ka luawai, he nenelu nae, a poho o Ieremia iloko o ka nenelu.
7 When Ebed-melech the Ethiopian one of the eunuchs, he being in the house of the king, heard that they had delivered Jeremiah into the dungeon, —the king being seated in the gate of Benjamin,
A lohe o Ebedemeleka, ka Aitiopa, he mea no ka hale o ke alii i poaia, ua hahao lakou ia Ieremia iloko o ka luawai; e noho ana no ke alii ma ka pukapa o Beniamina;
8 then went forth Ebed-melech out of the house of the king, and spake unto the king, saying:
Alaila, hele ae la o Ebedemeleka mailoko aku o ka hale o ke alii, a olelo ae la i ke alii, i ae la,
9 My lord, O King! wickedly, have these men done all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom indeed they have cast into the dungeon, —since he would have died where he was because of the famine, for there is no bread any longer, in the city.
E kuu haku, e ke alii, ua hana hewa keia poe kauaka, ma na mea a pau a lakou i hana aku ai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, i ka mea a lakou i hoolei ai iloko o ka luawai, a e make auanei oia i ka pololi ma kahi e noho ana oia; no ka mea, aohe berena e koe ma ke kulanakauhale.
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian saying, —Take with thee from hence thirty men, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before he die.
Alaila, kauoha ae la ke alii ia Ebedemeleka i ka Aitiopa, i ae la, E lawe oe i kanakolu kanaka me oe, mai keia wahi aku, a hapai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, mailoko mai o ka luawai, mamua o kona make ana.
11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence pieces of cast-off clothes, and old rags, —and let them down unto Jeremiah in the dungeon with the ropes.
Alaila, lawe o Ebedemeleka i mau kanaka me ia, a komo aku la iloko o ka hale o ke alii, malalo iho o ka waihona kala, a lawe aku la i mau welu kahiko a me na apana lole popopo, a kuu iho la ia mau mea ilalo i ka luawai io Ieremia la ma na kaula.
12 Then said Ebed-melech the Ethiopian unto Jeremiah, —Put, I pray thee the pieces of cast-off clothes and the old rags under thine arm-joints, under the ropes, And Jeremiah did so,
Olelo mai la o Ebedemeleka, ka Aitiopa ia Ieremia, E kau oe i keia mau welu kahiko, a me na apana lole popopo ma kou mau poee, malalo o na kaula. A hana iho la o Ieremia pela.
13 Then drew they Jeremiah with the ropes, and lifted him up out of the dungeon, —and Jeremiah remained in the guard-court.
A huki mai la lakou ia Ieremia, ma na kaula, a lawe ia ia mawaho aku o ka luawai. A noho o Ieremia ma ke kahua o ka hale paahao.
14 Then King Zedekiah sent and fetched Jeremiah the prophet unto him, in the third entrance, which is in the house of Yahweh, —and the king said unto Jeremiah—I am going to ask thee a thing, do not hide anything from me.
Alaila, hoouna mai la o Zedekia, ke alii, a lawe ae la ia Ieremia, i ke kaula io na la ma ke keena komo ekolu, aia ma ka hale o Iehova; a i mai la ke alii ia Ieremia, E ninau ana au ia oe i kekahi mea, mai huna iki mai oe ia'u.
15 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, When I tell thee, wilt thou not, surely put me to death? And when I counsel thee, thou wilt not hearken unto me.
I aku la o Ieremia ia Zedekia, Oiaio anei, ina hai aku au ia oe, aole anei oe e pepehi mai ia'u? A ina ao aku au ia oe, aole anei e hoolohe mai ia'u?
16 So King Zedekiah aware unto Jeremiah secretly saying, —By the life of Yahweh who made for us, this soul, I will in no wise put thee to death, Neither will I deliver thee into the hand of these men who are seeking thy life.
Alaila, hoohiki malu o Zedekia, ke alii ia Ieremia, i mai la, Ma ko Iehova ola ana, ma ka mea nana i hana i keia uhane no kaua, aole au e pepehi ia oe, aole hoi au e haawi aku ia oe iloko o ka lima o keia poe kanaka e imi nei i kou ola.
17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah—Thus, saith Yahweh God of hosts, God of Israel—If thou wilt, indeed go forth, unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall thine own soul live, and, this city, shall not be burned with fire, —but thou shalt live, thou and thy house.
Alaila, hai aku la o Ieremia ia Zedekia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua, ke Akua o Iseraela, penei; Ina hele io aku oe i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, alaila, e ola no oe, aole hoi e puhiia keia kulanakauhale; a pela no oe e ola'i, a me ko kou hale.
18 But, if thou wilt not go forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall this city be delivered into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and, thou, shalt not escape out of their hand.
Aka, ina aole oe e hele aku i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, alaila, e haawiia no keia kulanakauhale i ka lima o ko Kaledea, a e puhi no lakou i keia wahi i ke ahi, aole hoi oe e pakele mailoko aku o ko lakou lima.
19 Then said King Zedekiah unto Jeremiah: I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen away unto the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me, into their hand, and they maltreat me.
I mai la o Zedekia ke alii ia Ieremia, Ua makau wau i na Iudaio i haule i ko Kaledea, o haawi auanei lakou ia'u iloko o ko lakou lima, a hana ino mai lakou ia'u.
20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver!—Hearken I pray thee unto the voice of Yahweh in what I am speaking unto thee, that it may be well with thee and thy soul live.
I aku la o Ieremia, Aole lakou o haawi. Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e malama i ka leo o Iehova a'u e hai aku nei ia oe; pela e pomaikai ai oe, a e ola no oe.
21 But if thou art refusing to go forth, this, is the thing which Yahweh hath shewed me: —
A ina hoole oe, aole hele aku, eia ka olelo a Iehova ana i hoike mai ai ia'u.
22 behold, then, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Judah, brought forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, —and, those very women, saying, The men thou wast wont to salute, have goaded thee on and prevailed upon thee, —Thy foot having sunk in the mire, they have turned away back.
Aia hoi, o na wahine a pau i koe ma ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda, e laweia'ku lakou i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, a e olelo no lakou, O kou mau makamaka ka i hooikaika ia oe a ua lanakila lakou maluna ou, a ua poho kou mau wawae ilalo i ka lepo, a ua hele hope laua.
23 Yea thou shalt behold all thy wives and thy children brought forth unto the Chaldeans, and thou, shalt not escape out of their hand, —but by the hand of the king of Babylon, shalt thou be taken, and, this city, shall be burned with fire.
A e lawe aku no lakou i kau mau wahine a pau, a me kau mau keiki a pau i ko Kaledea; aole oe e pakele, mai ko lakou lima aku, aka, e paa auanei oe i ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a nau no e puhiia'i keia kulanakauhale i ke ahi.
24 Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah—Do not let, any man, know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
Olelo mai la o Zedekia ia Ieremia, Mai hoike aku i keia mau olelo i kekahi kanaka, alaila, aole oe e make.
25 But, when the princes hear that I have spoken with thee and they come in unto thee and say unto thee—Do tell us we pray thee what thou didst speak unto the king, do not hide it from us so will we not put thee to death, —and what spake the king unto, thee?
Aka, ina lohe na'lii ua kamailio pu kaua me oe, a hele mai lakou iou nei, a olelo mai ia oe, Ea, e hai mai oe ia makou i ka mea au i hai aku ai i ke alii, mai huna ia mea ia makou, alaila, aole makou e pepehi aku ia oe; a i ka mea hoi a ke alii i olelo mai ai ia oe.
26 Then shalt thou say unto them, —I was causing my supplication to fall prostrate before the king, —that he would not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan, to die there.
Alaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou, Nonoi aku au i ke alii i ole au e hoihoiia'ku i ka hale o Ionatana e make malaila.
27 Then came in all the princes unto Jeremiah and asked him, and he told them according to all these words which the king, had commanded, —so they turned in silence from him, for the matter, had not been reported.
A hele mai na'lii a pau io Ieremia la, a ninau mai la ia ia, a hai aku no oia ia lakou, e like me na olelo a pau a ke alii nui i kauoha mai ai: nolaila, haalele lakou ia ia, no ka mea, aole i ikeia ia mea.
28 So Jeremiah remained in the guard-court, until the day when Jerusalem, was captured; thus it fell out when Jerusalem, was captured.
A noho o Ieremia ma ke kahua o ka halepaahao a hiki i ka la i pio ai o Ierusalema; a malaila no oia i ka wa i pio ai o Ierusalema.
