Ieremia 20
1 A O Pasehura, ke keiki a Imera, ke kahuna, ka mea maluna o na luna maloko o ka hale o Iehova, lohe no oia, ua wanana o Ieremia i keia mau mea.
Pashhur, the son of Immer, was a priest who supervised the temple guards. He heard those things that I had prophesied.
2 Alaila, hahau o Pasehura ia Ieremia, ke kaula, a hahao iho la ia ia iloko o kahi paa o na laau kupee, ma ka pukapa kiekie o Beniamina, o ka mea kokoke i ka hale o Iehova.
[So he arrested me]. Then he [commanded guards to] whip me and fasten my feet in (stocks/a wooden frame) at the Benjamin Gate of Yahweh’s temple.
3 A ia la iho, lawe mai o Pasehura ia Ieremia mawaho o kahi paa o na laau kupee. Alaila, olelo ae la o Ieremia ia ia, Aole i kapa mai o Iehova i kou inoa, o Pasehura, aka, o Magoramisabiba.
The next day, when Pashhur released me, I said to him, “Pashhur, Yahweh is giving you a new name. From now on, your name will be ‘Surrounded by Terror’,
4 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Aia hoi, e hoolilo no wau ia oe i mea makau wale nou iho, a no kou poe hoahanau a pau; a e haule no lakou i ka pahikaua o ko lakou poe enemi, a e ike no kou mau maka; a e haawi no wau i ka Iuda a pau iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a e lawepio no oia ia lakou i Babulona, a luku no oia ia lakou i ka pahikaua.
because Yahweh says this [to you]: ‘I will cause you and your friends to be terrified. You will watch them being killed by your enemies’ swords. I will enable the [army of the] king of Babylon to capture the people of Judah. Those soldiers will take some of the people to Babylon, and they will kill others with their swords.
5 A e haawi no wau i ka ikaika a pau o keia kulanakauhale, a me kana hana a pau, a me kona mau mea maikai a pau, a o ka waiwai a pau o na'lii o ka Iuda ka'u e haawi aku ai iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, na mea e hao i ka lakou, a lawepio ia lakou, a e lawe aku keia poe ia lakou i Babulona.
And I will enable their soldiers to take away [other things in] Jerusalem. They will take to Babylon all the very valuable things that belonged to your kings.
6 A o oe, e Pasehura, a me ka poe a pau e noho la ma kou hale, e hele no iloko o ke pio; a e hiki no oe i Babulona, a malaila oe e make ai, a malaila oe e kanuia'i, o oe, a me kou mau makamaka a pau, ka poe au i wanana aku ai ma ka wahahee.
And [as for] you, Pashhur, they will take you and all your family to Babylon. You and your family and all your friends who have prophesied things that are lies will die there and be buried there.’”
7 E Iehova, ua hoowalewale mai oe ia'u, a ua walewale au; ua oi aku kou ikaika i ko'u, a ua lanakila oe; he mea akaaka wau i na la a pau, henehene mai no na mea a pau ia'u.
[One day I said this to Yahweh]: “Yahweh, [when you chose me to be a prophet, ] deceived me, and I allowed you to deceive me. You insisted that I [become a prophet] and you are stronger than I am. And now everyone [HYP] ridicules me. They make fun of me all the day.
8 No ka mea, i ka wa a'u i olelo ai, uwe aku la au, a kahea aku la no hoi, he kaili wale, a me ka hao ana; no ka mea, lilo no ka olelo a Iehova, i mea e heneheneia mai ai, a i mea hoi e hoowahawahaia mai ai au i na la a pau.
When I tell [people your messages], I shout saying, ‘[Yahweh is going to cause you to experience] violence and destruction!’ So because I tell them those messages from you, they insult me and scoff at me all day long.
9 Alaila, olelo iho la au, Aole au e hoomanao hou ia ia, aole hoi e olelo hou ma kona inoa; aka, ua like ia iloko o ko'u naau, me ke ahi e a ana, a paniia hoi iloko o ko'u mau iwi; a ikiiki au i ka hoomanawanui ana, aole hoi i hiki ia'u.
But if I would say, ‘I will never mention Yahweh or say anything about him, [MTY]’ [it would be as though] your message would burn in my inner being like [SIM] a fire; it would be like a fire in my bones. Sometimes I try to remain silent and not proclaim your messages, but I am not able to do that.
10 Lohe no wau i ka hoowahawaha ana o na mea he nui, he makau no ma na aoao a pau. E hai aku oe, a e hai aku no makou ia, wahi a lakou. Ua hoomakakiu mai ko'u poe makamaka a pau i ko'u haule ana, me ka manao iho, E hoowalewaleia paha oia, a lanakila kakou maluna ona, a e hoopai aku kakou ia ia no kakou.
I hear many people whispering [about me], saying ‘[He is the man who proclaims that there will be things that cause us to] be terrified everywhere. We must tell [the authorities what he is saying]! We must denounce him!’ [Even] my best friends are waiting for me to say something that is wrong. [They are saying], ‘Perhaps we can cause him to say something wrong, and if he does, we will be able to discredit him.’
11 Aka, o Iehova pu no me au, e like me ka mea mana a weliweli; nolaila e hina'i ka poe hoomaau mai ia'u, aole lakou e lanakila: e hilahila loa auanei lakou, no ka mea, aole lakou e pomaikai. Aole e poinaia ko lakou hilahila mau loa.
But [you], Yahweh, are helping me like [SIM] a strong warrior, so [it is as though] you will cause those who persecute me to stumble, and they will not defeat me. They will be completely disgraced because of being unable to defeat me; and other people will never forget that they were disgraced.
12 Aka, o oe, e Iehova o na kaua, ka mea hoao mai i ka poe i pono, ka mea ike i ka opu, a me ka naau, e hoike mai oe ia'u i kou ukiuki ia lakou; no ka mea, ia oe no ko'u hoopii ana i ko'u pono.
Commander of the armies of angels, you examine [all] those who are righteous; you know [all that is in] their inner beings and what they think. Allow me to see you getting revenge on those [who want to harm me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
13 E oli aku ia Iehova, e hoomaikai ia Iehova, no ka mea, ua hoopakele oia i ka uhane o ka poe hune, mai ka lima aku o ka poe hana hewa.
Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! He rescues [poor and] needy people, from those [SYN] who are wicked.
14 E hoinoia ka la a'u i hanauia'i: Mai hoomaikaiia ka la a kuu makuwahine i hanau mai ai ia'u.
But I hope/desire that the day that I was born will be cursed. I do not want [anyone to] celebrate that day.
15 E hoinoia ke kanaka i hai aku i ko'u makuakane, me ka olelo aku, Ua hanauia mai he keikikane nau, a hoohauoli nui aku la ia ia.
And [as for] that man who brought to my father the news, and caused him to be very happy, by saying “[You wife] has given birth to a son for you”, I hope/desire that he [also] will be cursed.
16 E hoohalikeia keia kanaka me na kulanakauhale a Iehova i hoohiolo ai, a mihi ole hoi. I lohe oia i ka uwe ana i kakahiaka, a me ka hooho ana i ke awakea;
Allow him to be destroyed like the cities that Yahweh destroyed [long ago], without acting mercifully [toward them]. Cause that man to hear the people wailing in the morning, and [to hear the enemy soldiers shout their] battle cries at noon.
17 No kona pepehi ole mai ia'u, mai ka opu mai, a lilo ole ko'u makuwahine i lua no'u, a mau loa aku ka nui ana o kona opu.
[I want that to happen to him] because he did not kill me before I was born. I wish that I had died in my mother’s womb, and that my mother’s body would have been [like] [MET] my grave.
18 No keaha la wau i puka mai ai mawaho mai o ka opu, e ike i ka luhi, a me ke kaumaha, i hoopauia ko'u mau la i ka hilahila?
I have continually experienced much trouble and sorrow, and I am disgraced now when I am about to die; why was it necessary [RHQ] for me to me born?
