Jeremiah 26
1 Soon after Jehoiakim became the king of Judah, Yahweh gave [me] this message:
I KA makamua o ke au ia Iehoiakima, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, hiki mai keia olelo, mai Iehova mai, i mai la,
2 “This is what [I], Yahweh, am telling you: Stand in the courtyard [in front] of my temple, and speak to all [the people from] the various towns in Judah who come there to worship me. Tell them everything that I tell you; do not omit anything.
Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei; E ku oe ma ke kahua o ka hale o Iehova, a e olelo aku i na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Iuda, na mea hele mai e hoomana iloko o ka hale o Iehova, i na olelo a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe e olelo ia lakou: mai hoemi i kekahi olelo.
3 [If you do tell them everything], perhaps they will pay attention, and each one of them will turn away from his evil behavior. Then I will change my mind, and not cause them to experience the disaster that I was planning to cause them to experience because of the evil things that they have done.
Malia paha e hoolohe lakou, a huli mai kela kanaka keia kanaka, mai kona aoao hewa mai, i mea e mihi ai au i ka hewa a'u i manao ai e hana ia lakou, no ka hewa o ka lakou hana ana.
4 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I sent to you the prophets who serve me, to tell you what you should do. I sent them to you many times, but you have not paid attention to what they said. If you will not pay attention to what I say and do not obey the message that I have given to you, and if you do not pay attention to what the prophets say,
A e olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei; Ina aole oukou e hoolohe mai ia'u, e hele mamuli o ko'u kanawai a'u i kau ai imua o oukou,
E hoolohe i na olelo a ka'u poe kauwa, na kaula a'u i hoouna aku ai ia oukou, e ala ana i ka wanaao me ka hoouna aku, aka, aole oukou i hoolohe:
6 I will destroy this temple like I destroyed Shiloh, [the place where the Sacred Tent was put]. And I will cause Jerusalem to be a place whose name [people in] every nation on the earth will say when they curse someone.’”
Alaila, e hoohalike au i keia hale me Silo, a e hoolilo wau i keia kulanakauhale i mea e poino ai ko na aina a pau o ka honua.
7 [When I did what Yahweh told me to do, ] the priests, the [false] prophets, and many [other] people listened to me as I told them that message outside the temple.
A lohe no na kahuna, a me na kaula a me na kanaka a pau ia Ieremia e olelo ana i keia mau olelo iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
8 But as soon as I finished telling them everything that Yahweh had commanded me to say, they all seized me and said, “You must be executed!
A hiki i ka manawa i hoopau ai o Ieremia i kana olelo ana i na mea a pau a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia e olelo i na kanaka a pau, alaila, hopu iho la na kahuna, a me na kaula, a me na kanaka a pau ia ia, olelo aku la, E oiaio no e make oe.
9 Why [RHQ] are you prophesying that this temple will be [destroyed] like Shiloh [was destroyed]? Why are you saying that this city will be destroyed, and that no one will live here [any more]? (OR, You should not be prophesying) [RHQ]” All the people surrounded me [as I stood] in [front of] the temple.
No ke aha la oe i wauana ai ma ka inoa o Iehova, i ka i ana mai, E like auanei keia hale me Silo, a e neoneo keia kulanakauhale, me ka mea ole nana e noho? A akoakoa ku e mai la na kanaka a pau ia Ieremia maloko o ka hale o Iehova,
10 When the officials of Judah heard about all this [that was happening], they rushed from the palace and sat down at the gate of the temple named The New Gate, [to judge my case].
A lohe na'lii o ka Iuda i keia mau mea, alaila, hele mai la lakou, mai ka hale o ke alii mai, a i ka hale o Iehova, a noho iho la ma kahi e komo aku ai iloko o ka pukapa hou o ka hale o Iehova.
11 The priests and the [false] told the officials and the other people [who were there], “This man should be executed, because he has prophesied that this city [will be destroyed], and you yourselves [MTY] have heard him say that!”
Alaila, olelo aku la na kahuna, a me na kaula i na'lii, a i na kanaka a pau, i aku la, Pono no keia kanaka e make; no ka mea, ua wanana ku e mai oia i keia kulanakauhale, me ka oukou i lohe ai i ko oukou mau pepeiao.
12 Then I replied to the officials and the other people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy all the things that you heard me say about [what will happen to] this temple and this city.
Alaila, olelo mai la o Ieremia i na'lii a pau, a i na kanaka a pau, i mai la, Hoouna mai o Iehova ia'u, e wauana ku e i keia hale, a i keia kulanakauhale, i na olelo a pau a oukou i lohe ai.
13 But if you change your behavior and stop sinning, and [start to] obey Yahweh our God, he will change his mind, and not cause you to experience the disasters that he said that he would send.
Ano hoi e hoomaikai oukou i ko oukou mau aoao, a me ka oukou hana ana, a e malama hoi i ka leo o Iehova, ko oukou Akua; alaila, e mihi no o Iehova i ka hewa ana i hai ku e mai ia oukou.
14 As for me, I am not able to free myself from your grasp. [So you can] do to me whatever you want to do.
A owau hoi, eia no wau iloko o ko oukou lima; e hana mai oukou ia'u ma ka mea i maikai, a pono hoi i ko oukou mau maka.
15 [But you need to] know that if you kill me, you will be killing a man [SYN] who (is innocent/has not done anything wrong). And you and everyone else in this city will be guilty, because the truth is that it was Yahweh who sent me to speak every word that you have heard me say.”
Aka, e hoomaopopo oukou, he oiaio, ina e pepehi mai oukou ia'u, alaila, e hooili no oukou i ke koko hala ole maluna o oukou, a maluna o keia kulanakauhale, a maluna o ka poe e noho ana maloko; no ka mea, he oiaio no, ua hoouna mai o Iehova ia'u io oukou la, e olelo i keia mau olelo a pau maloko o ko oukou mau pepeiao.
16 Then the officials and the other people said to the priests and the [false] prophets, “This man does not deserve to be executed, because he has spoken to us the message [MTY] that Yahweh gave him!”
Alaila, olelo mai la na'lii a me na kanaka a pau i na kahuna, a i na kaula; Aole pono keia kanaka e make; no ka mea, ua olelo mai oia ia kakou ma ka inoa o Iehova, o ko kakou Akua.
17 Then some of the elders stood up and spoke to all the people who were gathered [there].
Alaila, ku ae la kekahi mau lunakahiko o ka aina, a olelo ae la i ka ahakanaka a pau, i ae la,
18 They said, “([Remember/Think about) what] Micah, [the prophet] from Moresheth [town], prophesied during the years that Hezekiah was the King of Judah. He told the people of Judah this: ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: [Some day] Zion [Hill] will be plowed like fields [are plowed]; Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins. There will be a large clump/group of trees on top of the hill where the temple is now.’
I na la o Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, o Mika, no Moraseta, wanana mai la ia, a olelo mai la i na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda, i mai la, Ke i mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei; E mahiia no o Ziona me he mahinaai la, a e lilo no o Ierusalema i mau puu, a o ka mauna hoi o ka hale, e like me na wahi kiekie o ka ululaau.
19 But did [RHQ] King Hezekiah or anyone else in Judah kill Micah [for saying that]? No! Instead, Hezekiah revered Yahweh, and pleaded that he would (act mercifully toward/not destroy) them. So, Yahweh changed his mind about causing them to experience the terrible disaster that he said he would send. And now [if we kill Jeremiah], we are going to cause ourselves to experience a terrible disaster!”
I pepehi io anei ia ia o Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a me ka Iuda a pau? Aole anei i makau oia ia Iehova, a nonoi aku ia Iehova, a mihi iho la o Iehova i ka hewa ana i hai ku e mai ai ia lakou? A mai loaa ia kakou pela ka hewa nui no ko kakou poe uhane.
20 [At that time, ] the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-Jearim [city] was also prophesying/proclaiming messages [MTY] from Yahweh. He was predicting that the city and the rest of the land would experience the same disasters that I was predicting.
A he Kanaka e no hoi kekahi i wanana mai ma ka inoa o Iehova, o Uriia, ke keiki a Semaia, no Kiriatarima, nana no i wanana ku e mai i keia kulanakauhale, a i keia aina hoi, e like me na olelo a pau a Ieremia;
21 When King Jehoiakim and his army officers and officials heard what Uriah was saying, the king sent someone to kill Uriah. But Uriah heard about it, and became [very] afraid, and he (escaped/ran away) to Egypt.
A lohe o Iehoiakima ke alii, a me kona poe kanaka ikaika a pau, a me na'lii a pau i kana mau olelo, imi iho la ke alii e pepehi ia ia. A lohe aku la o Uriia ia mea, makau iho la ia, a mahuka aku la, a hiki aku i Aigupita;
22 Then King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan the son of Acbor along with several other men to Egypt.
A o Iehoiakima ke alii, hoouna ae la ia i na kanaka i Aigupita, ia Elenatana, ke keiki a Akebora, a me na kanaka pu me ia, i Aigupita;
23 They captured Uriah and took him [back to Jerusalem] to King Jehoiakim. The king then [had a soldier] kill Uriah with a sword. Then they buried his corpse in a place where poor people are buried.
A lawe mai la lakou ia Uriia, mai Aigupita mai, a lawe ia ia io Iehoiakima la, i ke alii; a pepehi ae la oia ia ia i ka pahikaua, a hoolei aku la i kona kupapau iloko o na ilina o na kanaka.
24 However, Ahikam the son of Shaphan defended me, and persuaded the officials not to allow [MTY] the mob to murder me.
Aka, me Ieremia no ka lima o Ahikama, ke keiki a Sapana, i ole lakou e haawi ia ia iloko o na lima o kanaka e pepehi ia ia.
