Jeremiah 38
1 Shephatiah the son of Mattan, Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying,
A LOHE o Sepatia, ke keiki a Matania, a me Gedalia ke keiki a Pasura, a me Iukala, ke keiki a Selemia, a me Pasura, ke keiki a Malekia, i na olelo a Ieremia i olelo ai i na kanaka a pau, i ka I ana ae,
2 “The LORD says, ‘He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans will live. He will escape with his life and he will live.’
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, O ka mea hoomau i kona noho ana ma keia kulanakauhale, e make no ia i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau. Aka, o ka mea hele aku i ko Kaledea, e ola ia; no ka mea, e haawiia kona ola i waiwaipio nona, a e ola ia.
3 The LORD says, ‘This city will surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will take it.’”
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Oiaio no, e haawiia keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ka poe kaua o ke alii o Babulona, a na lakou e hoopio ia wahi.
4 Then the princes said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death, because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them; for this man doesn’t seek the welfare of this people, but harm.”
Nolaila, olelo ae la na'lii i ke alii nui, Ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oe, e make keia kanaka; no ka mea, pela oia e hoonawaliwali nei i na lima o na kanaka kaua, ka poe e koe nei ma keia kulanakauhale, a me ka lima o na kanaka a pau, i kana olelo ana ia lakou i na olelo e like me ia: no ka mea, aole imi keia kanaka i ka mea e maluhia ai keia poe kanaka, aka, i ka mea e poino ai.
5 Zedekiah the king said, “Behold, he is in your hand; for the king can’t do anything to oppose you.”
Alaila, olelo ae la o Zedekia, ke alii, Aia hoi, aia no ia iloko o ko oukou mau lima; no ka mea, aole hiki i ke alii ke hana i kekahi mea ku e ia oukou.
6 Then they took Jeremiah and threw him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard. They let down Jeremiah with cords. In the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
Alaila, lalau mai la lakou ia Ieremia, a hahao ae la ia ia iloko o ka luawai o Malekia ke keiki a ke alii, ma ke kahua o ka halepaahao; a kuu iho la lakou ia Ieremia ilalo ma na kaula. Aohe wai iloko o ka luawai, he nenelu nae, a poho o Ieremia iloko o ka nenelu.
7 Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king was then sitting in Benjamin’s gate),
A lohe o Ebedemeleka, ka Aitiopa, he mea no ka hale o ke alii i poaia, ua hahao lakou ia Ieremia iloko o ka luawai; e noho ana no ke alii ma ka pukapa o Beniamina;
8 Ebedmelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,
Alaila, hele ae la o Ebedemeleka mailoko aku o ka hale o ke alii, a olelo ae la i ke alii, i ae la,
9 “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon. He is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.”
E kuu haku, e ke alii, ua hana hewa keia poe kauaka, ma na mea a pau a lakou i hana aku ai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, i ka mea a lakou i hoolei ai iloko o ka luawai, a e make auanei oia i ka pololi ma kahi e noho ana oia; no ka mea, aohe berena e koe ma ke kulanakauhale.
10 Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, “Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.”
Alaila, kauoha ae la ke alii ia Ebedemeleka i ka Aitiopa, i ae la, E lawe oe i kanakolu kanaka me oe, mai keia wahi aku, a hapai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, mailoko mai o ka luawai, mamua o kona make ana.
11 So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
Alaila, lawe o Ebedemeleka i mau kanaka me ia, a komo aku la iloko o ka hale o ke alii, malalo iho o ka waihona kala, a lawe aku la i mau welu kahiko a me na apana lole popopo, a kuu iho la ia mau mea ilalo i ka luawai io Ieremia la ma na kaula.
12 Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Now put these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords.” Jeremiah did so.
Olelo mai la o Ebedemeleka, ka Aitiopa ia Ieremia, E kau oe i keia mau welu kahiko, a me na apana lole popopo ma kou mau poee, malalo o na kaula. A hana iho la o Ieremia pela.
13 So they lifted Jeremiah up with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
A huki mai la lakou ia Ieremia, ma na kaula, a lawe ia ia mawaho aku o ka luawai. A noho o Ieremia ma ke kahua o ka hale paahao.
14 Then Zedekiah the king sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to himself into the third entry that is in the LORD’s house. Then the king said to Jeremiah, “I will ask you something. Hide nothing from me.”
Alaila, hoouna mai la o Zedekia, ke alii, a lawe ae la ia Ieremia, i ke kaula io na la ma ke keena komo ekolu, aia ma ka hale o Iehova; a i mai la ke alii ia Ieremia, E ninau ana au ia oe i kekahi mea, mai huna iki mai oe ia'u.
15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? If I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.”
I aku la o Ieremia ia Zedekia, Oiaio anei, ina hai aku au ia oe, aole anei oe e pepehi mai ia'u? A ina ao aku au ia oe, aole anei e hoolohe mai ia'u?
16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, “As the LORD lives, who made our souls, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.”
Alaila, hoohiki malu o Zedekia, ke alii ia Ieremia, i mai la, Ma ko Iehova ola ana, ma ka mea nana i hana i keia uhane no kaua, aole au e pepehi ia oe, aole hoi au e haawi aku ia oe iloko o ka lima o keia poe kanaka e imi nei i kou ola.
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “The LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you will go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul will live, and this city will not be burnt with fire. You will live, along with your house.
Alaila, hai aku la o Ieremia ia Zedekia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua, ke Akua o Iseraela, penei; Ina hele io aku oe i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, alaila, e ola no oe, aole hoi e puhiia keia kulanakauhale; a pela no oe e ola'i, a me ko kou hale.
18 But if you will not go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you won’t escape out of their hand.’”
Aka, ina aole oe e hele aku i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, alaila, e haawiia no keia kulanakauhale i ka lima o ko Kaledea, a e puhi no lakou i keia wahi i ke ahi, aole hoi oe e pakele mailoko aku o ko lakou lima.
19 Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have defected to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.”
I mai la o Zedekia ke alii ia Ieremia, Ua makau wau i na Iudaio i haule i ko Kaledea, o haawi auanei lakou ia'u iloko o ko lakou lima, a hana ino mai lakou ia'u.
20 But Jeremiah said, “They won’t deliver you. Obey, I beg you, the LORD’s voice, in that which I speak to you; so it will be well with you, and your soul will live.
I aku la o Ieremia, Aole lakou o haawi. Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e malama i ka leo o Iehova a'u e hai aku nei ia oe; pela e pomaikai ai oe, a e ola no oe.
21 But if you refuse to go out, this is the word that the LORD has shown me:
A ina hoole oe, aole hele aku, eia ka olelo a Iehova ana i hoike mai ai ia'u.
22 ‘Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah’s house will be brought out to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women will say, “Your familiar friends have turned on you, and have prevailed over you. Your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away from you.”
Aia hoi, o na wahine a pau i koe ma ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda, e laweia'ku lakou i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, a e olelo no lakou, O kou mau makamaka ka i hooikaika ia oe a ua lanakila lakou maluna ou, a ua poho kou mau wawae ilalo i ka lepo, a ua hele hope laua.
23 They will bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans. You won’t escape out of their hand, but will be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. You will cause this city to be burnt with fire.’”
A e lawe aku no lakou i kau mau wahine a pau, a me kau mau keiki a pau i ko Kaledea; aole oe e pakele, mai ko lakou lima aku, aka, e paa auanei oe i ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a nau no e puhiia'i keia kulanakauhale i ke ahi.
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you won’t die.
Olelo mai la o Zedekia ia Ieremia, Mai hoike aku i keia mau olelo i kekahi kanaka, alaila, aole oe e make.
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and tell you, ‘Declare to us now what you have said to the king; don’t hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also tell us what the king said to you;’
Aka, ina lohe na'lii ua kamailio pu kaua me oe, a hele mai lakou iou nei, a olelo mai ia oe, Ea, e hai mai oe ia makou i ka mea au i hai aku ai i ke alii, mai huna ia mea ia makou, alaila, aole makou e pepehi aku ia oe; a i ka mea hoi a ke alii i olelo mai ai ia oe.
26 then you shall tell them, ‘I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.’”
Alaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou, Nonoi aku au i ke alii i ole au e hoihoiia'ku i ka hale o Ionatana e make malaila.
27 Then all the princes came to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him, for the matter was not perceived.
A hele mai na'lii a pau io Ieremia la, a ninau mai la ia ia, a hai aku no oia ia lakou, e like me na olelo a pau a ke alii nui i kauoha mai ai: nolaila, haalele lakou ia ia, no ka mea, aole i ikeia ia mea.
28 So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.
A noho o Ieremia ma ke kahua o ka halepaahao a hiki i ka la i pio ai o Ierusalema; a malaila no oia i ka wa i pio ai o Ierusalema.
