Jeremiah 34
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all of his army, together with all the kingdoms of the earth, the domains under his power, and all their people were waging war against Jerusalem and all of her cities, saying:
KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, i ka wa i kaua'i o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, a me kona poe kaua a pau, a me na aupuni a pau o ka honua, na aupuni malalo iho o kona lima, a kaua na kanaka a pau ia Ierusalema, a i kona mau kulanakauhale a pau, i mai la,
2 “Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and say to him, 'Yahweh says this: Look, I am about to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon. He will burn it.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, penei: O hele, a e olelo aku ia Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a e hai aku ia ia, Ke i mai o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, e haawi no wau i keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a e puhi no oia ia wahi i ke ahi.
3 You will not escape from his hand, for you will certainly be seized and given into his hand. Your eyes will look at the eyes of the king of Babylon; he will speak directly to you as you go to Babylon.'
Aole hoi oe e pakale mai kona lima aku, aka, e pio io no oe, a e haawiia iloko o kona lima; a e ike aku no kou mau maka i na maka o ke alii o Babulona, a e kamailio no kona waha me kou waha, a e hele no oe i Babulona.
4 Listen to the word of Yahweh, Zedekiah king of Judah! Yahweh says this concerning you, 'You will not die by the sword.
E Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, e hoolohe mai oe i ka olelo a Iehova; Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova nou, Aole oe e make i ka pahikaua;
5 You will die in peace. As in the funeral burning of your ancestors, the kings who were before you, they will burn your body. They will say, “Woe, master!” They will lament for you. Now I have spoken—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
E make no oe maloko o ka malubia. Me ke kuni ana no na makua ou, na'lii kahiko mamua ou, pela no lakou e kuni ai i na mea ala nou. A e kanikau lakou ia oe, Auwe ka haku! Ua hai aku no wau i ka olelo, wahi a Iehova.
6 So Jeremiah the prophet proclaimed to Zedekiah king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem.
Alaila, olelo aku no o Ieremia ke kaula i keia mau olelo a pau ia Zedekia, ko alii o ka Iuda ma Ierusalema;
7 The army of the king of Babylon made war against Jerusalem and all the remaining cities of Judah: Lachish and Azekah. These cities of Judah remained as fortified cities.
A kaua ko alii o ko Babulona poe kaua ia Ierusalema, a i ua kulanakauhale a pau i koe o ka Iuda, ia Lakisa, a ia Azeka; no ka mea, o keia mau kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa i koe o na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda.
8 The word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem, to proclaim freedom to them,
O ka olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, mahope iho o ka Zedekia hana ana i berita me ka poe kanaka a pau ma Ierusalema, e kala aku i ko lakou noho kauwa ole ana;
9 that each man must free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female, so one was to make a slave of a Jew, who was his brother.
I kuu wale aku kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana kauwakane, a o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana kauwawahine, ina he Heberakane, a ina he Heberawahine, i hoopaa ole ai kekahi i kona hoahanau Hebera i kauwa luhi wale nana.
10 So all the leaders and people entered into the covenant that each person would free his male and female slaves so that they would not be enslaved any longer. They obeyed and set them free.
A lohe na'lii a pau, a me na kanaka a pau i komo i ka berita, e hookuu ana kela mea keia mea i kana kauwakane, a o kela mea keia mea i kana kauwawahine, i ole lakou e hoopaa ia lakou i kauwa, alaila hoolohe ae la lakou, a kuu ae la.
11 But after this they changed their minds. They brought back the slaves whom they had freed. They forced them to become slaves again.
A mahope iho, huli lakou, a hoihoi ae la lakou i na kauwakane, a me na kauwawahine a lakou i kuu iho ai, a hookauwa ae la ia lakou i kauwakane, a i kauwawahine.
12 So the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
Alaila, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, i mai la,
13 “Yahweh, God of Israel, says this, 'I myself made a covenant with your ancestors on the day that I brought them out from the land of Egypt, out from the house of slavery. That was when I said,
Ke i mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; Hana aku la au i berita me ko oukou poe kupuna, i ka la a'u i lawe mai ai ia lakou, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a mai ka hale mai o ka poe kauwa, i mai la,
14 “At the end of every seven years, each man must send away his brother, his fellow Hebrew who had sold himself to you and served you for six years. Send him away in freedom.” But your ancestors did not listen to me or incline their ears to me.
I ka pau ana o na makahiki ehiku e kuu aku oukou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hoahanau i ka Hebera i kuaiia nou; a hookauwa mai oia nau no na makahiki eono, alaila e kuu wale aku oe ia ia, mai ou aku la; aole nae i hoolohe mai ko oukou mau kupuna i ka'u, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko lakou pepeiao.
15 Now you yourselves repented and began to do what is right in my eyes. You proclaimed freedom, each man to his neighbor, and you made a covenant before me in the house that is called by my name.
Ano iho nei, ua hoohuliia oukou, a ua hana pono kela kanaka keia kanaka imua ou i ke kukala ana aku i ka hookuu wale ia o kona hoalauna: a ua hana hoi oukou i berita imua o'u ma ka hale i heaia ko'u inoa maluna ona:
16 But then you turned and polluted my name; you caused each man to bring back his male and female slaves, the ones whom you had sent out to go where they wished. You forced them to become your slaves again.'
Aka, ua huli oukou, a ua hoohaumia i ko'u inoa, a ua hoihoi mai kela kanaka keia kanaka i kaua kauwakane, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana kauwawahine a lakou i kuu wale ai ma ko lakou makemake, a ua hookauwa hou ia lakou, i lilo lakou i kauwakane a i kauwawahine na oukou.
17 Therefore Yahweh says this, 'You yourselves have not listened to me. You should have proclaimed freedom, every one of you, to your brothers and fellow Israelites. So look! I am about to proclaim freedom to you—this is Yahweh's declaration—freedom for the sword, the plague, and famine, for I am going to make you a horrible thing in the sight of every kingdom on earth.
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aole oukou i hoolohe mai ia'u ma ke kukala ana i ke kuu wale ia o kela kanaka no kona hoahanau, o kela kanaka no kona hoalauna. Aia hoi, ke kukala aku nei au i ke kuu wale ia oukou i ka pahikaua, a i ka mai ahulau, a i ka wi, a e hooauhee aku au ia oukou iloko o na aupuni a pau o ka honua.
18 Then I will deal with the people who have broken my covenant, who did not keep the words of the covenant that they established before me when they cut a bull in two and walked between its parts,
A e haawi no wau i na kanaka i lawehala i ka'u berita, o ka poe i hana ole ma na olelo o ka berita a lakou i hana'i imua o'u, ia lakou i oki ae i ke keikihipa mawaena, a hele ae mawaena o kona mau apana.
19 and then the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the eunuchs and the priests, and all the people of the land walked between the parts of the bull.
O na'lii o ka Iuda a me na'lii o Ierusalema, na luna a me na kahuna, a me na kanaka a pau o ka aina, ka poe i hele mawaena o na apana o ke keikibipi;
20 I will give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who are seeking their lives. Their bodies will be food for the birds of the skies and the beasts on the earth.
E haawi no wau ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, a iloko o ka lima o ka poe e imi ana i ko lakou ola. A e lilo no ko lakou kupapau i mea ai na na manu o ka lani, a na na holoholona o ka honua.
21 So I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his leaders into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who are seeking their life, and into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon that has risen up against you.
A e haawi no hoi au ia Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a me kana poe alii i ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, iloko o ka lima o ka poe e imi ana i ko lakou ola, a iloko o ka lima o ka poe kaua o ke alii o Babulona, ka poe i pii aku, mai o oukou aku nei.
22 Look, I am about to give a command—this is Yahweh's declaration—and will bring them back to this city to wage war against it and take it, and to burn it. For I will turn the cities of Judah into ruined places in which there will be no inhabitants.'”
Na'u no e kauoha aku, wahi a Iehova, a e hoihoi mai ia lakou i keia kulanakauhale; a e kaua mai lakou ia wahi, a e hoopio, a e puhi ia wahi i ke ahi. A e hoolilo wau i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda i mehameha, aohe mea e noho ana.
