Ieremia 27
1 I KA makamua o ke au ia Zede kia, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, hiki mai la ka olelo io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, i mai la,
This message came to Jeremiah from the Lord at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, son of Josiah, king of Judah.
2 Ke i mai nei o Iehova ia'u penei; E hana oe nou i mau kupee, a i mau auamo, a e kau ia mau mea maluna o kou a-i.
This is what the Lord told me: Make for yourself a harness and a yoke and strap it on your neck
3 A e hoouka aku ia mau mea i ke alii o Edoma, a i ke alii o Moaba, a i ke alii o ka Amona, a i ke alii o Turo, a i ke alii o Zidona, ma ka lima o na elele i hele mai i Ierusalema io Zedekia la, ke alii o ka Iuda:
Send a message to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the ambassadors who have come to Jerusalem to see Zedekiah king of Judah.
4 A e kauoha aku ia lakou e olelo i ko lakou mau haku, Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela; E olelo oukou i ko oukou poe haku penei;
Give them this order from the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, to convey to their masters:
5 Na'u no i hana ka honua, ke kanaka, a me na holoholona maluna o ka aina, i ko'u mana nui, a i ko'u lima kakauka, a ua haawi hoi ia i ka mea a'u i manao makemake ai.
It was by my strength and creative power that I made the earth and the human beings and animals that live there, and I give it to those who are right in my sight.
6 Ano hoi, ua haawi aku au i keia mau aina a pau iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, i kuu kauwa; a ua haawi hoi au ia ia i na holoholona o ke kula e hookauwa nana.
Now I have placed my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in charge of all these countries. I have even given him control over the wild animals.
7 A e hookauwa ko na aina a pau nana, a na kana keiki, a na ke keiki a kana keiki, a hiki wale mai ka manawa o na aina: alaila, e hookauwa aku oia na ko na aina he nui, a na na'lii kaulana.
All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time that his own land comes under the control of other nations and powerful kings.
8 A o ka aina auanei, a me ke aupuni e hookauwa ole na ua Nebukaneza la, na ke alii o Babulona, a haawi ole hoi i ko lakou a-i malalo o ka auamo o ke alii o Babulona, e hoopai no wau i ko ia aina, wahi a Iehova, i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau, a hoopau wau ia lakou i kona lima.
Any nation or kingdom that doesn't serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and doesn't submit to him I will punish that nation by war and famine and plague, declares the Lord, until I let Nebuchadnezzar destroy it completely.
9 Nolaila, mai hoolohe oukou i na kaula o oukou a me ko oukou poe wanana wahahee, a me ko oukou poe moeuhane, a me ko oukou poe awihi hoowalewale, a me ko oukou poe kilokilo, ka poe olelo mai ia oukou, me ka i ana iho, Aole oukou e hookauwa aku na ke alii o Babulona;
Don't you listen to your prophets, your fortune-tellers, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your magicians when they tell you, “You won't serve the king of Babylon.”
10 No ka mea, wanana mai lakou i ka wahahee ia oukou, i mea e lawe aku ai ia oukou mai kahi loihi aku o ko oukou aina; a i kipaku aku ai au ia oukou, i make hoi oukou.
They're prophesying a lie to you that will lead to your removal from your country. I will expel you and you will die.
11 Aka, o na aina i haawi i ko lakou a-i malalo iho o ka auamo o ke alii o Babulona, a hookauwa aku nana, o lakou no ka'u e hookoe aku maloko o ko lakou aina iho, wahi a Iehova; a e mahiai no lakou, a e noho ma ka aina.
But a nation that submits to the king of Babylon and serves him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and live in it, declares the Lord.
12 Olelo no hoi au ia Zedekia, i ke alii o ka Iuda e like me keia mau olelo a pau, i aku la, E hookomo oukou i ko oukou mau a-i, malalo iho o ka auamo o ke alii o Babulona, a e hookauwa aku nana, a na kona poe kanaka, i ola.
I gave the same message to Zedekiah king of Judah: Submit to the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!
13 No ke aha la oe e make ai, o oe, a me kou poe kanaka, i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau, e like me ka Iehova i olelo ku e ai i ko ka aina hookauwa ole na ke alii o Babulona?
Why should you and your people die by war and famine and plague, as the Lord has said he would bring against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Nolaila, mai hoolohe i na olelo a na kaula, ka poe olelo ia oukou, i ka i ana iho, Aole oukou e hookauwa na ke alii o Babulona: no ka mea, wanana mai lakou i ka wahahee ia oukou.
Don't listen to messages from prophets who say, “You won't serve the king of Babylon,” for they are prophesying a lie to you.
15 No ka mea, aole na'u lakou i hoouna aku, wahi a Iehova, aka, ke wanana mai nei lakou i ka wahahee ma ko'u inoa; i mea e kipaku aku ai au ia oukou, i make hoi oukou, o oukou, a me na kaula i wanana mai ia oukou.
I didn't send them, declares the Lord, and yet they are giving false prophecies in my name. So I will expel you and you will die—you and the prophets who prophesy to you.
16 A olelo aku no hoi au i na kahuna, a i keia poe kanaka a pau, i aku la, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei; Mai hoolohe i na olelo a ko oukou poe kaula, ka poe wanana mai ia oukou, i ka i ana iho, Aia hoi, e lawe hou koke ia mai na kiaha o ka hale o Iehova mai Babulona mai; no ka mea, ko wanana mai nei lakou i ka wahahee ia oukou.
Then I told the priests and all the people, This is what the Lord says: Don't listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, “Look! The objects from the Lord's Temple will shortly be returned from Babylon.” They are prophesying a lie to you.
17 Mai hoolohe ia lakou: e hookauwa aku na ke alii o Babulona, a e ola. No keaha la e anaiia'i keia kulanakauhale?
Don't listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city be destroyed?
18 Aka, ina he poe kaula lakou, a ina ia lakou ka olelo a Iehova, e nonoi uwao aku lakou ia Iehova o na kaua, i hele ole aku ai i Babulona na kiaha i waihoia iloko o ka hale o Iehova, a iloko o ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda, a ma Ierusalema hoi.
If they are truly prophets and really have the word of the Lord with them, they should be pleading now with the Lord Almighty that what's left in the Lord's Temple, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, isn't taken to Babylon.
19 No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, no na kia, a no ke kai, a no na kumu kiaha, a no ke koena o na kiaha, i koe mai maloko o keia kulanakauhale,
This what the Lord Almighty says about the pillars, the bronze sea, the bases, and the rest of the objects that are left in Jerusalem:
20 Na mea a Nebukaneza i lawe ole ai i ka wa ana i lawepio ai ia Iekonia, i ke keiki a Iehoiakima, i ke alii o ka Iuda, mai Ierusalema aku a Babulona, e me na haku a pau o ka Iuda, a me Ierusalema;
everything Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn't take when he took Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, together with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
21 Oia, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua ke Akua o ka Iseraela, no na kiaha i koe ma ka hale o Iehova, a ma ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda, a ma Ierusalema;
Again, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about the objects left in the Lord's Temple, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
22 E laweia no lakou i Babulona, a malaila no lakou e waiho ai, a hiki i ka la e hele mai ai au e ike ia lakou, wahi a Iehova; alaila, e lawe mai no au ia lakou iluna, a e hoihoi mai ia lakou i keia wahi.
They will be taken away to Babylon and will stay there until the time I see to them again, declares the Lord. Only then will I bring them back so they will be in Jerusalem again.
