Jeremiah 45

1 After Jehoiakim the son of King Josiah had been ruling Judah for almost four years, [I, ] Baruch, wrote down [all] the messages that the prophet Jeremiah had dictated to me. Then Jeremiah gave me a message. He said,

O KA olelo a Ieremia, a ke kaula i olelo ai ia Baruka ke keiki a Neria, ia ia i kakau ai i keia mau olelo maloko o ka buke, no ka waha mai o Ieremia, i ka makahiki eha o Iehoiakima, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i mai la,

2 “Baruch, Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], has a message for you.

Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia oe, E Baruka, penei;

3 You have said, ‘Terrible things [are happening] to me! I have endured much pain already. And now Yahweh is causing me to be very sad, in addition to my having pain. I am exhausted from my (groaning/being sad), and I am unable to rest!’

Ua olelo mai no oe, Ano la, auwe ia'u! no ka mea, ua hooili mai o Iehova i ke kaumaha maluna o ko'u eha: Maule no au i ko'u kaniuhu ana, aole loaa ia'u ka hoomaha.

4 But [Baruch], this is what Yahweh says: ‘I will destroy this nation that I established. [This nation is like a tree] [MET] that I planted and that I will now pull up with its roots.

Penei oe e olelo ai ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, o ka mea a'u i kukulu ai, oia ka'u e wawahi ai, a o ka mea a'u i kanu ai, oia ka'u e uhuki ai, o keia aina hoi a pau.

5 So, should you [RHQ] desire that people do things to honor you in a special way? Do not desire that. [It is true that] I will cause all these people to experience a great disaster, but wherever you go, I will protect you, and you will not be killed.’”

Ke imi nei anei oe i mea nui nou! Mai imi oe; no ka mea, aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau i ka hewa maluna a na mea ola a pau, wahi a Iehova; aka, e haawi no wau i kou ola ia oe, i waiwai pio nou, ma na wahi a pau au e hele aku ai.
