Jeremiah 22
1 This is another message that Yahweh gave [to me]: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and say this to him:
KE olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E iho oe ilalo i ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda, a e olelo malaila i keia olelo;
2 ‘You are the king of Judah. You are the ruler [MTY], like King David was. You and your officials and your people must listen
E i aku, E hoolohe oe i ka olelo a Iehova, e ke alii o ka Iuda, ka mea noho ma ka nohoalii o Davida, o oe, a me kau poe kauwa, a me kou poe kanaka, na mea komo iloko o keia mau pukapa.
3 to what Yahweh says: “Act fairly and justly. Do what is right. Help those who have been robbed. Rescue people from those who oppress them. Stop doing evil things. Do not mistreat those who have come here from other countries, and do not mistreat orphans and widows. Stop murdering here [in Jerusalem] [MTY] those who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong).
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; E hana oukou i ka hooponopono, a me ka maikai, a e hoopakele i ka mea i haoia, mai ka lima aku o ka mea hookaumaha: mai hana i ka mea i hewa, mai hana i ka mea kolohe i ka malihini, a i ke kieki makuaole, a i ka wahine kanemake: mai hookahe hoi i ke koko hala ole ma keia wahi.
4 If you obey those commands carefully, there will [always] be some descendant of King David who will be ruling here [MTY] [in Jerusalem]. The king and his officials and other people will ride through the gates of the city in chariots and on horses.
No ka mea, ina hana io oukou i keia, alaila, e komo mai no ma na pukapa o keia hale, he poe alii, e noho ana ma ka nohoalii o Davida, e holo ana hoi maloko o na kaakaua, a maluna o na lio, oia, a me kana poe kauwa, a me kona poe kanaka.
5 But if you refuse to pay attention to those commands, I, Yahweh, solemnly declare, with myself [MTY] as a witness, that this palace will become a pile of rubble.”’”
Aka, ina aole oukou e hoolohe i keia mau olelo, ke hoohiki nei au ia'u iho, wahi a Iehova, e lilo no keia hale i neoneo.
6 And this is what Yahweh says about the king’s palace: “[I like] this palace, like I like the forests in the Gilead [region] and the mountains in Lebanon. But I will cause this palace to become a desert, a place that no one lives in.
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova i ko ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda; O oe no o Gileada ia'u, o ke poo hoi o Lebanona. He oiaio, e hoolilo no wau ia oe i waonahele, i kulanakauhale noho ole ia.
7 I will summon enemy troops who will destroy this palace; each of their soldiers will use his own tools [to wreck the building]. They will cut into pieces the beautiful big cedar [beams] and throw them into a fire.”
A na'u hoi e hoomakaukau i poe luku aku ia oe, o kela mea keia mea, me kona mea eha: a na lakou e kua ilalo i kou mau kedera maikai, a e kiola ia lakou iloko o ke ahi.
8 People from many nations will walk past [the ruins of] this city and say to each other, “Why did Yahweh destroy this city that was [very] great?”
A e nui loa auanei na lahuikanaka e hele ae a hala keia kulanakauhale, a e olelo kela mea keia mea o lakou i kona hoa, No keaha la i haua mai ai o Iehova ia mea i keia kulanakauhale nui?
9 And [other] people will reply, “[He did it] because his people stopped obeying the agreement that they had made with Yahweh their God. Instead, they worshiped [DOU] other gods.”
Alaila, e olelo no lakou, No ka mea, ua haalele lakou i ka berita o Iehova, ko lakou Akua, a ua hoomaua i na'kua e, a ua malama ia lakou.
10 [Yahweh also says, ] “Do not mourn for King [Josiah]; do not cry because he has died. Instead, mourn for [King Jehoahaz, his son], [because] he will be captured and taken to another country, and he will never return to see his own country, [Judah], again.”
Mai uwe oukou no ka mea i make, mai kanikau ia ia; e uwe nui i ka mea i hele aku; no ka mea, aole ia e hoi hou mai, aole e ike hou i kona aina hanau.
11 Jehoahaz became king after his father, King Josiah, [died], but Jehoahaz indeed was captured and taken [to Babylonia]. And this is what Yahweh says about him: “He also will never return [to Judah].
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova no Saluma, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, ka mea i noho aupuni ma ka hakahaka o Iosia, o kona makua, ka mea i hele, mai keia wahi aku; aole ia e hoi hou ilaila:
12 He will die in that far-away country and will never see his own country again.”
Aka, e make no oia ma kahi a lakou i lawepio ai ia ia, aole e ike hou mai i keia aina.
13 [And Yahweh said to me], “Terrible things will happen to [King Jehoahaz’s brother, King Jehoiakim]. He unjustly [forced men to] build his palace. The rooms on the upper level were built [by men who were forced] unjustly [to do that work]; he forced his neighbors to work for nothing; he did not pay them anything.
Auwe ka mea kukulu i kona hale me ka pono ole, a me kona mau keena maluna, me ka mea aole i maikai, ka mea hoohana wale i kona hoalauna, aole hoi i uku mai no kana hana ana;
14 He said, ‘I will [force my workers to] build a huge beautiful palace with very large rooms and [many] windows. They will cover the walls with [fragrant] cedar panels/timber and paint them bright red.’”
Ka mea i olelo, E hana no wau i hale akea no'u me na keena nui maluna; a kalai hoi i mau puka makani nona; a ua kapiliia i ka laau kedera, a ua penaia i ka ulaula.
15 But it is certainly not [RHQ] having a beautiful cedar palace that causes a king to be great! Jehoiakim’s father, Josiah, also had [RHQ] plenty of things to eat and drink. But Josiah always did things that are right and just, and that is why God blessed him.
E noho aupuni anei oe no kou hoopuni ana ia oe i ke kedera? Aole anei i ai, a inu kou makuakane, a hana i ka hooponopono, a me ka pololei, alaila, ua pomaikai oia?
16 Josiah acted justly/fairly and helped poor and needy people, so things went well for him. Yahweh says, “That is [RHQ] the way a person should behave who knows me.
Nana no i hooponopono i ka hihia o ka poe hune, a me ka poe nele, alaila, pomaikai. Aole anei oia ka i ike mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova?
17 But [Jehoiakim], you [MTY] are greedy and desire only to obtain things by acting dishonestly. You murder [MTY] innocent people, you oppress poor people, and you treat people cruelly and violently.”
Aka, aohe mea ma kou mau maka, a ma kou naau, o kou makeewaiwai no, a me ka hookahe i ke koko hala ole, a me ka hookaumaha, a me ka lawe wale, e hana hoi.
18 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says about Jehoiakim, the son of King Josiah: “[When he dies], people will not mourn for him. They will not say to each other, ‘It is very sad; we are so sorry!’ The people whom he ruled will not mourn for him, saying, ‘We are sad that our king is dead; we are so sorry that the wonderful things [that happened while he was king are ended].’
Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova no Iehoiakima, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda; Aole lakou e kumakena ia ia, me ka i iho, Auwe kuu kaikuaana! auwe kuu kaikuwahine! aole lakou e kumakena ia ia, me ka i iho, Auwe ka haku! auwe kona nani!
19 [When he dies, people will do to] his corpse what they do to a dead donkey; his [corpse] will be dragged out of Jerusalem and dumped outside the gates!
E kanuia no ia me ke kanu ana o ka hoki, i hukiia a kiolaia'ku mawaho aku o na pukapa o Ierusalema.
20 [You people of Judah], go to [the mountains in] Lebanon and weep, shout in the [mountains of the] Bashan [region], cry out in [the mountains of] Moab, because all your friends [in those areas] have been destroyed.
E pii aku oe i Lebanona, a e kahea aku, e hookiekie hoi i kou leo ma Banana, a e kahea aku ma kela aoao; no ka mea, ua lukuia kou poe ipo a pau.
21 When you were prosperous, I warned you, but you replied, ‘We will not pay attention [to what you say].’ You have been acting like that since you were young; you have never obeyed me.
I kou wa i pomaikai ai, olelo aku la no wau ia oe, aka, olelo mai oe, Aole au e hoolohe: oia hoi kou aoao, mai kou wa opiopio mai, no ka mea, aole oe i hoolohe i ko'u leo.
22 [So, now I will punish] all your leaders; [it will be as though] they have been blown away by the wind. They will be captured [by your enemies] and taken to another country. When that happens, you will [truly] be ashamed and disgraced because of all the wicked things [that you have done].
Na ka makani no e hoopau i kou mau kahu a pau; a e hele no kou poe ipo iloko o ke pio. Oiaio, i kela wa, e hilahila no oe, a e hoopalai no hoi, no kou hewa a pau.
23 [Now, your king] enjoys living in the cedar rooms in his palace, but [soon] he will be punished, and then he will groan like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.”
E ka mea noho ma Lebanona, ka mea hana i kou punana maloko o na laau kedera; pehea la oe e alohaia mai ai i ka wa e hiki mai ai kou eha, o ke kuakoko hoi, e like me ko ka wahine hanau keiki?
24 Yahweh says this: “Jehoiachin, son of King Jehoiakim of Judah, as surely as I am alive, [I will punish you]. Even if you were the ring on my finger that shows that I am the king, I would pull you off.
Me au e ola nei, wahi a Iehova, ina o Konia, ke keiki a Iehoiakima, ke alii o ka Iuda, ina paha oia ka hoailona ma ko'u lima akau; e uhuki aku no au ia oe malaila mai.
25 You are afraid of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his huge army, [because] they are wanting to kill you. I will enable them to capture you.
A e haawi aku no au ia oe iloko o ka lima o ka poe e imi nei i kou ola, a iloko hoi o ka lima o ka poe nona ka maka au e makau nei, iloko o ka lima hoi o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, a iloko o ka lima o ko Kaledea.
26 I will expel you and your mother [from this land], and you will be taken to another country. Neither of you was born there, but you will both die there.
A e kipaku aku no wau ia oe, a me kou makuwahine nana oe i hanau, i ka aina e, i kahi o oukou i hanau ole ia'i; a malaila oukou e make ai.
27 You will never return to this land that you will very much desire to return to.”
Aka, o ka aina a lakou e makemake ai e hoi mai; aole lakou e hoi mai ilaila.
28 [Someone said, ] “Jehoiachin will be [RHQ] like a broken pot that is despised and which no one wants. He and his children will be (exiled/forced to go) to a foreign land.
O keia kanaka, o Konia, he kii anei oia i hoowahawahaia, a naha no hoi? He ipu anei i makemake ole ia? No ke aha lakou i kipakuia'ku ai, oia, a me kana hua, a ua hooleiia iloko o ka aina a lakou i ike ole ai?
29 [I want] the people in this land to listen carefully to this message from Yahweh.”
E ka honua, ka honua, ka honua, E hoolohe oe i ka olelo a Iehova:
30 This is what Yahweh says: “[In the record about the kings of Judah, ] write down that [it will be as though] this man [Jehoiachin] had no children, and that he has not been successful during his life, because none of his children/descendants will [ever] become king to rule over [the people of] Judah.”
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E palapala oe i keia kanaka, ua keiki ole, he kanaka pomaikai ole i kona mau la: no ka mea, aohe kanaka o kana hua e pomaikai ana, e noho ana ma ka nohoalii o Davida, a e noho aupuni hou ana ma ka Iuda.
