Ieremia 29

1 EIA na olelo o ka palapala a Ieremia, a ke kaula i hoouna aku ai, mai Ierusalema aku i ke koena o ka poe lunakahiko i lawepioia'ku la, a i na kahuna, a i na kaula, a i na kanaka a pau a Nebukaneza i lawepio ai, mai Ierusalema aku a Babulona;

And these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders of the exiles, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon;

2 (Mahope iho o ka hele ana o Iekonia, ke alii, a me ke alii wahine, a me na luna a me na kaukaualii o ka Iuda a me Ierusalema, a me na kamana, a me na amara, a puka aku la mawaho o Ierusalema; )

(After king Jechonyah and the queen-mother, and the court-officers, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the locksmiths, were departed from Jerusalem; )

3 Ma ka lima o Elasa, ke keiki a Sapona, a me Gemaria, ke keiki a Hilekia, (na mea a Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda i hoouna aku ai i Babulona, io Nebukaneza la, i ke alii o Babulona, ) i iho la,

By the hand of El'assah the son of Shaphan, and Gemaryah the son of Chilkiyah, [whom Zedekiah the king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, ] saying,

4 Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, i ka poe a pau i lawepioia, na mea a'u i lawepio ai, mai Ierusalema aku a Babulona;

Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all the exiles, whom I have caused to be carried into exile from Jerusalem unto Babylon,

5 E kukulu hale oukou, a e noho iho; e kanu i na mahinaai, a e ai i kolaila ai:

Build ye houses, and dwell therein; and plant gardens, and eat their fruit;

6 E mare i na wahine, a e hoohanau i na keikikane, a i na kaikamahine; a e lawe i na wahine na ka oukou poe keikikane, a e haawi aku hoi i ka oukou mau kaikamahine e mare i na kane, i hanau mai lakou i na keikikane, a i na kaikamahine; i kawowo oukou malaila, aole hoi e emi iho.

Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may multiply there, and not be diminished.

7 A e imi oukou i ka mea e malu ai ke kulanakauhale, kahi a'u i lawepio ai ia oukou, a e pule aku oukou ia Iehova nona; no ka mea, ma kona malu oukou e malu ai.

And seek the welfare of the city whither I have banished you, and pray in its behalf unto the Lord; for in its welfare shall ye fare well.

8 No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela; Mai puni oukou i ko oukou mau kaula, a me ko oukou mau kilokilo, na mea iwaenakonu o oukou; mai hoolohe hoi oukou i ko oukou moeuhane a oukou e hoomoe ai.

For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Let not your prophets, that are in the midst of you, and your diviners, deceive you, and do not hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamt;

9 No ka mea, ke wanana wahahee nei lakou ia oukou ma ko'u inoa. Aole au i hoouna ia lakou, wahi a Iehova.

For with falsehood do they prophesy unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord.

10 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Mahope o ka pau ana o na makahiki he kanahiku ma Babulona, alaila, e ike aku no au ia oukou, a e hooko i ka'u olelo maikai ia oukou, i ka hoihoi ana mai ia oukou i keia wahi.

For thus hath said the Lord, Because only after the accomplishment of seventy years for Babylon, will I visit you, and fulfill respecting you my good word, in causing you to return to this place.

11 No ka mea, ua ike no wau i na manao a'u e manao nei ia oukou, wahi a Iehova, he mau manao no ka hoomalu, aole no ke ahewa, e haawi ia oukou i hope maikai, a me ka hoolana.

For I alone know the thoughts that I entertain respecting you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a [happy] future and hope.

12 Alaila oukou e hea mai ai ia'u, a e hele hoi oukou, a e pule mai ia'u, a e hoolohe no au ia oukou.

And you will call upon me, and ye will go and will pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

13 A e imi mai no oukou ia'u a loaa, i ka wa e imi mai ai oukou ia'u me ko oukou naau a pau.

And ye will seek me, and shall find me, for ye will search for me with all your heart.

14 A e loaa no wau ia oukou, wahi a Iehova, a e hoihoi aku au i ko oukou lawepioia; a e hoiliili hoi au ia oukou mai na aina a pau mai, a mai na wahi a pau mai, hahi a'u i kipaku aku ai ia oukou, wahi a Iehova; a e lawe hou no wau ia oukou i kahi malaila aku no wau i lawepio aku ai ia oukou.

And I will be found of you, saith the Lord; and I will bring back your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will cause you to return unto the place whence I have banished you.

15 No ka mea, ua olelo oukou, Na Iehova no i hoala mai i mau kaula no kakou ma Babulona.

Because ye have said, The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon.

16 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova no ke alii e noho ana ma ka noho alii o Davida, a no na kanaka a pau e noho la iloko o keia kulanakauhale, a no ko oukou poe hoahanau i hele pu ole me oukou iloko o ke pio;

But thus hath said the Lord concerning the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people that dwell in this city, your brethren that are not gone forth with you into exile;

17 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei; Aia hoi, e hoouna au i ka pahikaua maluna o lakou, a me ka wi, a me ka mai ahulau, a e hoolilo wau ia lakou e like me na fiku inoino, pono ole ke aiia, no ko lakou inoino loa.

Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will send out against them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence; and I will render them like the detestable figs, that cannot be eaten, from being so bad.

18 A e hahai no wau ia lakou i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a me ka mai ahulau, a e haawi no wau ia lakou a pau e laweia a iloko o na aupuni a pau o ka honua, i mea e poino ai, a i mea pilihua, a i mea hoowahawaha, a i mea henehene, iwaeua o na aina a pau, kahi a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou:

And I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will make them a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse, and an astonishment, and a derision, and a disgrace, among all the nations whither I have driven them;

19 No ka mea, aole lakou i hoolohe mai i ka'u mau olelo, wahi a Iehova, na olelo a'u i hoouna aku ai ia lakou ma ka'u mau kauwa, ma na kaula hoi, e ala ana i ka wanaao e hoouna, aka, aole oukou i hoolohe mai, wahi a Iehova.

For the reason that they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord, since I sent unto them my servants the prophets, causing them to rise up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the Lord.

20 E hoolohe hoi oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e oukou a pau o na mea pio, na mea a'u i hoouna aku ai, mai Ierusalema a Babulona:

But ye—hear ye the word of the Lord, all ye exiles whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.

21 Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, no Ahaba, ke koiki a Kolaia, a no Zedekia, ke keiki a Maaseia, na mea i wanana mai i ka wahahee ia oukou ma ko'u inoa; Aia hoi, e haawi no wau ia laua iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona; a e pepehi no oia ia laua imua o ko oukou mau maka:

Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Achab the son of Kolayah, and of Zedekiah the son of Ma'asseyah, who prophesy unto you in my name falsehood, Behold, I will give them up into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon: and he shall smite them before your eyes.

22 A ma o laua la e laweia'i ka olelo hoino e ka poe pio a pau o ka Iuda, na mea ma Babulona, me ka olelo iho, Na Iehova e hoohalike ia oe me Zedekia, a me Ahaba, na mea a ke alii o Babulona i ohinu ai ma ke ahi;

And a curse shall be derived from them for all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, “May the Lord make thee like Zedekiah and like Achab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;”

23 No ka mea, ua hana laua i ka mea lapuwale maloko o ka Iseraela, a ua moe kolohe me na wahine a ko lakou hoalauna, a ua olelo i na olelo wahahee ma ko'u inoa, na mea a'u i kauoha ole ai ia lakou; ua ike no wau, a he hoike no hoi, wahi a Iehova.

Because they have done scandalous deeds in Israel, and have committed adultery with the wives of their neighbors, and have spoken in my name falsehood, which I had not commanded them; whereas I am the one that know, and am the witness, saith the Lord.

24 E olelo aku no hoi oe ia Semaia, i ka mea moeuhane, e i aku,

And to Shema'yahu the Nechelamite shalt thou say, as followeth,

25 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o ua kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, me ka i ana mai, No ko hoouka ana i na palapala ma kou inoa i na kanaka a pau ma Ierusalema, a ia Zepania, ke keiki a Maaseia, ke kahuna, a i na kahuna a pau, i ka i ana ae,

Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent in thy name letters unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephanyah the son of Ma'asseyah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

26 Ua hoolilo o Iehova ia oe i kahuna, ma ka hakahaka o Iehoiada, ke kahuna, i mea e noho luna'i oukou maloko o ka hale o Iehova, no kela kanaka keia kanaka hewa-hewa, a hoolilo ia ia iho i kaula, i mea e hahao aku ai oe ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao, a iloko o na laau kupee:

The Lord hath appointed thee priest in the place of Jehoyada' the priest, that ye should be superintendents in the house of the Lord, for every man that is mad, and that prophesieth, that thou shouldst put him in the stocks, and in prison:

27 A ano la, no keaha la oe i papa ole aku ai ia Ieremia no Anetota, ka mea hoolilo ia ia iho i kaula no oukou?

And now, why hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of 'Anathoth, who prophesieth to you?

28 No ka mea, nolaila ia i hoouna mai ai io makou ma Babulona nei, i ka i ana mai, Ua loihi keia noho ana; e kukulu hale oukou, a e noho iho; e kanu i ua mahinaai, a e ai i kolaila ai.

For the reason that he hath sent unto us to Babylon saying, It will last a long time: build ye houses, and dwell therein; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit thereof.

29 A heluhelu aku la o Zepania, ke kahuna i keia palapala ma na pepeiao o Ieremia, ke kaula.

And Zephanyah the priest read the letter before the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

30 Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova io Ieremia la, i mai la,

Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,

31 E hoouna aku, a i ka poe a pau e noho pio ana, e i aku, Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova no Semaia, ka mea moeuhane; No ko Semaia wanana ana ia oukou, a hoouna ole aku au ia ia, a hoohilinai oia ia oukou i ka wahahee;

Send to all the exiles, saying, Thus hath said the Lord concerning Shema'yah the Nechlamite, Whereas Shema'yah hath prophesied unto you, while I have not sent him, and he hath caused you to rely on a falsehood:

32 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, e hoopai no wau ia Semaia, ka mea moeuhane, a me kana hua; aole e loaa ia ia ke kanaka e noho mawaena o keia poe kanaka; aole hoi oia e ike i ka maikai a'u e hana'i no ko'u poe kanaka, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, ua ao aku oia i ke kipi ana ia Iehova.

Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will inflict punishment on Shema'yah the Nechlamite, and on his seed; he shall not have a man to dwell in the midst of this people; and he shall not behold the good that I am doing for my people, saith the Lord; because he hath spoken revolt against the Lord.
