Ieremia 21
1 KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai i ka wa i hoouna aku ai o Zedekia, ke alii, io na la, ia Pasehura, ke keiki a Malekia, a me Zepania, ke keiki a Maaseia, ke kahuna, i aku la,
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the king Zedekiah's sending unto him Pashhur son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
2 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e noi aku ia Iehova no kakou; no ka mea, ke kaua mai nei o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona ia kakou; ina paha e hana mai o Iehova ia kakou, e like me kana hana kupanaha a pau, i pii aku ke alii o Babulona, mai o kakou aku.
'Inquire, we pray thee, for us at Jehovah, for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath fought against us; perhaps Jehovah doth deal with us according to all His wonders, and doth cause him to go up from off us.'
3 Alaila, olelo mai la o Ieremia ia lakou, Penei oukou e olelo aku ai ia Zedekia;
And Jeremiah saith unto them, 'Thus do ye say unto Zedekiah,
4 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela peneia, Aia hoi, e hoihoi hope aku no au i na mea kaua, na mea maloko o ko oukou lima, na mea a oukou i kaua ai i ke alii o Babulona, a i ko Kaledea, ka poe hoopilikia mai ia oukou mawaho o na pa, a e hoiliili au ia mau mea maloko o keia kulanakauhale.
Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel: Lo, I am turning round the weapons of battle That [are] in your hand, With which ye do fight the king of Babylon, And the Chaldeans, who are laying siege against you, At the outside of the wall, And I have gathered them into the midst of this city,
5 A owau no kekahi e kaua aku ia oe, me ka lima kakauha, a me ka lima ikaika, me ka huhu no, a me ka inaina, a me ka ukiuki loa.
And I — I have fought against you, With a stretched-out hand, and with a strong arm, And in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath,
6 A e hahau no wau i ka poe noho ma keia kulauakauhale, i kanaka, a me na holoholona; a e make no lakou i ka mai ahulau nui.
And I have smitten the inhabitants of this city, Both man and beast, By a great pestilence do they die.
7 A mahope iho, wahi a Iehova, e haawi no wau ia Zedekia, i ke alii o ka Iuda, a me kana poe kauwa, a me kona poe kanaka, na mea o keia kulanakauhale i koe i ke ahulau, a me ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza, o ke alii o Babulona, a iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, a iloko o ka lima o ka poe imi i ko lakou ola; a e hahau mai no oia ia lakou i ka maka o ka pahikaua. Aole ia e hookoe ia lakou, aole e aloha mai, aole hoi e lokomaikai mai.
And after this — an affirmation of Jehovah, I give Zedekiah king of Judah, And his servants, and the people, And those left in this city, From the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, Into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of their enemies, And into the hand of those seeking their life, And he hath smitten them by the mouth of the sword, He hath no pity on them, Nor doth he spare, nor hath he mercy.
8 Ae olelo aku oe i keia poe kanaka, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, ke kau nei au imua o oukou i ka aoao o ke ola, a me ka aoao o ka make.
And unto this people thou dost say, Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am setting before you the way of life, And the way of death!
9 O ka mea e noho ma keia kulanakauhale, e make no ia i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a me ka mai ahulau; aka, o ka mea puka aku iwaho, a haule aku i ko Kaledea, ka poe e hoopilikia ana ia oukou, e ola no ia, a e koe no kona ola i waiwaipio nona iho.
Whoso is abiding in this city — dieth, By sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, And whoso is going forth, And hath fallen unto the Chaldeans, Who are laying siege against you — liveth, And his life hath been to him for a spoil.
10 No ka mea, ua hooku e au i ko'u maka i keia kulanakauhale, ma ka hewa, aole ma ka maikai, wahi a Iehova; a e haawiia ia iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a e puhi oia i keia wahi i ke ahi.
For I have set My face against this city for evil, And not for good — an affirmation of Jehovah. Into the hand of the king of Babylon it is given, And he hath burned it with fire.
11 E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, no ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda.
And as to the house of the king of Judah, Hear ye a word of Jehovah;
12 E ko ka hale o Davida, ke i mai nei o Iehova peneia, E hana oukou i ka hooponopono i kakahiaka, a e hoopakele i ka mea i haoia, mai ka lima aku o ka mea hookaumaha, o puka aku ko'u ukiuki, e like me ke ahi, a e a hoi, aole mea e hiki ia ia ke kinai, no ka hewa o ka oukou hana ana.
O house of David, thus said Jehovah: Decide ye judgment at morning, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, Lest My fury go forth as fire, And hath burned, and none is quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.
13 Aia hoi, ua ku e no wau ia oe, e ka mea noho ma ke awawa, a ma ka pohaku o ka papu hoi, wahi a Iehova, ka poe olelo, Owai la ka mea iho ilalo e ku e ia makou? Owai la ka mea e komo iloko o ko makou wahi noho ai?
Lo, I [am] against thee — an affirmation of Jehovah, O inhabitant of the valley, rock of the plain, Who are saying, Who cometh down against us? And who cometh into our habitations?
14 Aka, e hoopai aku au ia oukou, e like me ka hua o ka oukou hana ana, wahi a Iehova; a e puhi no wau i ke ahi iloko o kolaila ululaau, a e hoopau no ia i na mea a pau, a puni ia wahi.
And I have laid a charge against you, According to the fruit of your doings, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have kindled a fire in its forest, And it hath consumed — all its suburbs!
