Jeremiah 42
1 Then Johanan and Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the [other] leaders of the [Israeli] soldiers [who had not surrendered to the army of Babylonia], and many [HYP] [other] people, including those who were important and those who were not important, came
A LAILA, hookokoke mai la na luna o ka poe koa, a me Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea, a me Iezania, ke keiki a Hosaia, a me na kanaka a pau, mai ka mea uuku a ka mea nui,
2 to me. They said, “Please listen to our request and pray to Yahweh our God for all of us. Although we were previously a huge number of people, you can see that now we are only a small number of people [who have survived].
A olelo mai la lakou ia Ieremia i ke kaula, Ke noi aku nei makou ia oe e ae mai i ka haule ana o ko makou nonoi imua ou, a e pule aku hoi ia Iehova, i kou Akua no makou, no keia koena a pau; (no ka mea, ua koe mai makou, he poe uuku noloko mai o na mea nui, e like me ka ike ana o kou mau maka ia makou; )
3 [Pray] that Yahweh our God will show us what we should do and where we should go.”
I hoike mai ai o Iehova, kou Akua ia makou i ke ala e pono ai makou ke hele, a i ka mea hoi e pono ai makou ke hana.
4 I replied, “Okay, I will pray to Yahweh our God, like you have requested, and I will tell you what he says. I will (tell you everything/not hide anything from you).”
Alaila, olelo aku la o Ieremia, ke kaula ia lakou, Ua lohe an, aia hoi, e pule no wau ia Iehova, i ko oukou Akua, e like me na olelo a oukou; a o ka mea a Iehova e olelo mai ia oukou, oia ka'u e hai aku ai ia oukou; aole au e huna i kekahi mea ia oukou.
5 They replied to me, “We hope/wish that Yahweh our God will be a faithful witness against us if we refuse to do everything that he tells us to do.
Alaila, olelo mai la lakou ia Ieremia, O Iehova no ka mea hoike oiaio, a pono iwaena o kakou, ke hana ole makou e like me na mea a pau a Iehova e hoouna mai ai ia oe io makou nei;
6 We are requesting you to ask Yahweh our God what we should do. [When he replies], we will obey him, whether we like what he says or not. We will do that because [we know that] things will go well for us if we obey him.”
Ina he maikai, a ina he hewa, e hoolohe no makou i ka leo o Iehova ko makou Akua, ka mea ia ia makou e hoouna aku ai ia oe, i pomaikai ai makou i ka wa e hoolohe ai makou i ka leo o Iehova ko makou Akua.
7 [So I prayed] to Yahweh, and ten days later he gave me his reply.
A mahope iho o na la he umi, alaila hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Ieremia.
8 So I summoned Johanan and all his [other] soldiers and all the [other] people, including those who were important and those who were not important.
Alaila, hea aku oia ia Iohanana, i ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna a pau o na koa, e noho pu ana me ia, a me na kanaka a pau, mai ka mea uuku, a ka mea nui;
9 I said to them, “You told me to tell Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], what you were requesting. This is what he replied:
I mai la oia ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea ia ia oukou i h ouna aku ai ia'u, e hookau i ko oukou nonoi ana imua ona;
10 ‘You [should] stay here in this land. If you do that, I will cause your [nation] to be strong and not be weak. I will cause you to prosper and not be exiled [again]. I am sorry about the disasters that I [was forced to] cause you to experience.
Ina e noho oukou ma keia aina, alaila, e kukulu no wau ia oukou, aole e hoohiolo, e hoonipaa loa wau ia oukou, aole au e uhuki; no ka mea, na mihi au i ka ino a'u i hana aku ai ia oukou.
11 But do not be afraid of the king of Babylon [any more], because I will (be with/help) you. I will rescue you [DOU] from his power [MTY].
Mai makau i ke alii o Babulona, i ka mea a oukou e makau nei; mai makau ia ia, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, owau pu me oukou e hoola ia oukou, a e hoopakele hoi ia oukou mai kona lima aku.
12 I will be merciful to you by causing him to act kindly toward you. So as a result, he will allow you to stay here in your land.’
A e hoike aku au i ka lokomaikai ia oukou, i lokomaikai ai oia ia oukou, a hoihoi mai ia oukou i ko oukou aina iho.
13 But if you refuse to obey Yahweh our God, and if you say ‘We will not stay here;
Aka, ina olelo oukou, Aole makou e noho ma keia aina, aole hoi e hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova, ko oukou Akua;
14 instead, we will go to Egypt. There we will not experience [any] wars, we will not hear trumpets [signaling our soldiers to prepare for battles], and we will not be hungry,’
A olelo hoi, Aole; e hele no makou i ka aina o Aigupita, ma kahi e ike ole ai makou i ke kaua, aole hoi e lohe i ke kani ana o ka pu, aole hoi e pololi i ka berena; a malaila no makou e noho ai;
15 then listen to what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt, and you go and live there,
No ia mea la, ea, e hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e ke koena o ka Iuda; Ke i mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Ina ikaika ke kau ana o ko oukou maka e hele i Aigupita, e hele hoi a noho malaila;
16 you will experience those wars and famines that you are afraid of, and you will [all] die there.
Alaila, e hiki mai no keia, o ka pahikaua a oukou i makau ai, e loaa no ia oukou ia malaila, ma ka aina o Aigupita; a o ka wi, ka mea a oukou i makau ai, e pipili no ia ia oukou malaila, ma Aigupita, a malaila oukou e make ai.
17 That is what will happen to all you who are determined to go to Egypt and live there. [Some of you] will be killed by the swords [of your enemies, and others of you will die] from famines and from diseases. None of you will escape the disasters that I will bring on you.’
E hiki no ia i na kanaka a pau e kau ana i ko lakou maka e hele i Aigupita e noho malaila: e make no lakou i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau; aohe mea e koe, aole hoi e pakele i ka hewa a'u e lawe ai maluna o lakou.
18 And the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], also says this: ‘Because I was very angry, I severely punished [MTY] [all] the people of Jerusalem. I will do the same things to you when you go to Egypt. [The result will be that] people will curse you. They will be horrified about [what has happened to] you. They will make fun of you, and you will never see this land again.’
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, E like me ka ninini ana o ko'u huhu, a me ko'u ukiuki maluna o ka poe e noho la ma Ierusalema: pela no e nininiia'i ko'u ukiuki maluna o oukou. i ka wa e hiki aku ai oukou iloko o Aigupita; a e lilo oukou i mea hailiiliia, a i mea e kahaha'i, a i mea poino, a i mea hoowahawahaia; aole hoi oukou e ike hou mai i keia wahi.
19 You little group of people of Judah who are still alive, [listen to me]: Yahweh has told you, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’ [So] do not forget what I have warned you today.
Ua olelo no o Iehova no oukou, E, oukou ke koena o ka Iuda, Mai hele oukou i Aigupita; e ike pono oukou, ua hoike aku au ia oukou i keia la.
20 I know that you were lying when you requested me to pray to Yahweh our God.
Ua hele hewa oukou e pilikia ai ko oukou ola, i ka wa i hoouna aku ai oukou ia'u io Iehova la, i ko oukou Akua, i ka i ana mai la, E pule aku oe ia Iehova i ko makou Akua no makou; a e like me na mea a pau a Iehova, ko makou Akua e olelo mai ai, pela no oe e hai mai ia makou, a e hana no makou.
21 And today I have told you exactly what he said, but [I know that] you will not obey Yahweh our God now, just as you have not obeyed him previously.
A ua hai aku au ia oukou i keia la; aole oukou i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova o ko oukou Akua, aole ma kekahi mea ana i hoouna mai ai ia'u, io oukou la.
22 You want to go to Egypt and live there. So now, you can be sure of this: [All of] you will die there. [Some of you will be killed] by the swords [of your enemies and others will die] from famines or from diseases.”
No ia mea la, ea, e ike pono oukou, e make oukou i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau, ma kahi a oukou e makemake ai e hele, a e noho.
