Ieremia 32
1 KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la mai o Iehova mai la, i ka umi o ka makahiki o Zedekia ke alii o ka Iuda, oia ka makahiki umikumamawalu o Nebukaneza.
After Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost ten years, Yahweh gave me another message, during the time that Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling [Babylonia] for almost 18 years.
2 Ia manawa, hoopilikia mai la ka poe kaua o ke alii o Babulona ia Ierusalema: a ua hoopaaia o Ieremia ke kaula ma kahi paa o ka halepaahao iloko o ka hale o ke alii o Iuda.
His army was surrounding Jerusalem, and I was in a prison area in the courtyard where the guards of the king’s palace stayed.
3 No ka mea, hoopaa iho la o Zedekia ke alii o Iuda ia ia, e olelo mai ana, No ke aha la oe e wanana mai nei, i ka i ana mai, Penei ka olelo a Iehova, Aia hoi e haawi aku no au i keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a nana ia e hoopio:
King Zedekiah had put me there. I continued to prophesy there [about what would happen]. I continued to say, “Yahweh says that he is about to allow [the army of] the king of Babylon to capture this city [DOU].
4 Aole hoi e pakele o Zedekia ke alii o Iuda mai ka lima aku o ka poe Kaledea; he oiaio e haawiia oia iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a e kamailio oia me ia he waha he waha, a e ike auanei kona mau maka i ko ia la mau maka;
And the soldiers of Babylonia will capture King Zedekiah and (take him to/put him in the hands of) the king of Babylon.
5 A e kai aku oia ia Zedekia i Babulona, a ilaila oia e noho ai a ike hou au ia ia, wahi a Iehova: ina e kaua aku oukou me ka poe Kaledea, aole oukou e pomaikai.
Then his [soldiers] will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will remain there until I arrange for him to be punished. And if he tries to fight against the soldiers from Babylonia, he will not succeed.”
6 Olelo ae la o Ieremia, Hiki mai la ka olelo a ke Akua io'u nei, i mai,
[At that time], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
7 Aia hoi, e hele mai ana iou la o Hanameela ke keiki a Saluma kekahi makuakane ou, e i mai ana, E kuai oe nou i kuu aina ma Anatota; no ka mea, o ka pono no ka hoopanai, nou no ia e kuai.
“[Your cousin] Hanamel, the son of Shallum [your uncle], will come to you. He will say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth, [your hometown]. [Because you are my closest relative], [it is written in our laws that] you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it].’”
8 A hele mai la io'u nei o Hanameela ke keiki a kekahi makuakane o'u, iloko o ka pahale o ka halepaahao, e like me ka olelo a ke Akua; i mai la ia ia'u, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kuai oe i kuu aina ma Anatota ma ka moku o ka Beniamina; no ka mea, nou no ka hooili ana, a nou hoi ka hoopanai ana; e kuai oe nou. Alaila, ike iho la au o ka olelo ia a ke Akua.
And just as Yahweh had predicted, my cousin Hanamel came to see me in the courtyard of the palace. He said, “[Please] buy my field at Anathoth in the area [where the descendants of] Benjamin live. It is written in our laws that you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it.]” When he said that, I knew that the message that I had received was [truly] from Yahweh.
9 A kuai iho la au i ka aina me Hanameela ke keiki a kekahi makuakane o'u, ka mea i noho ma Anatota, a kaupaona iho nona i ke kala, i na sekela kala he umikumamahiku.
[So], I bought the field at Anathoth. I paid Hanamel 17 pieces of silver for it.
10 Kakau iho la au ma ka palapala, a hoopaa iho la i ka wepa, a lawe iho la na mea ike maka, a kau iho la i ke kala ma na mea kaupaona.
I signed the paper/papyrus on which it was written that I was buying it, while others were watching/witnessing it. Then I weighed the silver [and gave it to him].
11 Lawe ae la au i ka palapala hoike i ke kuai ana, i ka mea i paa i ka wepa, a me ka mea i hoopaa ole ia, mamuli o ke kanawai a me ka oihana;
Then I took two copies of the paper/papyrus. One was sealed and the other was not sealed. On both of them was written the price and conditions of the purchase. I took both copies
12 A haawi aku la au i ka palapala hoike i ke kuai ana ia Baruka ke keiki a Neria, ke keiki a Maaseia, ma ke alo o Hanameela ke keiki a kekahi makuakane o'u, a ma ke alo hoi o na mea hoike, o ka poe i kakau inoa ma ka palapala o ke kuai ana, imua hoi o ka poe Iudaio a pau e noho ana ma ka pahale o ka halepaahao.
and I gave them to Baruch, who was the son of Neraiah and the grandson of Mahseiah. I did this while my cousin Hanamel, the [other] witnesses who had signed the paper/papyrus, and other men of Judah who were there in the courtyard, were watching.
13 Kauoha aku la au ia Baruka imua o lakou, i aku la,
[Then], while they were [all] listening, I said to Baruch,
14 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; E lawe i keia mau palapala hoike, o ka palapala no ke kuai ana i paa i ka wepa, a me keia palapala hoike aole i paa, a e hahao iloko o ka ipu lepo, i malamaia'i ia mau mea i na la he nui.
“This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘Take both copies of this paper/papyrus and put them in a clay jar, to preserve them for a long time.
15 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, penei; E komo hou ia na hale, na aina a me na pawaina ma keia aina.
[Do that] because this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [worship], say: “[Some day people will again own property] in this land, and they will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields.’”
16 A pau ae la i ka haawiia o ka palapala hoike ia Baruka ke keiki a Neria, pule aku la au ia Iehova, i ka i ana aku,
After I had given the papers/papyri to Baruch, I prayed to Yahweh, saying this:
17 Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova e! aia hoi, nau no i hana ka lani a me ka honua, ma kou mana nui, a me ka lima kakauha, aohe mea i hiki ole ia oe.
“Yahweh, [you are my] Lord! You made the sky and the earth by your very great power. [MTY, DOU] Nothing is too difficult for you [to do].
18 Ke hoike mai nei oe i ka lokomaikai i na tausani, a ke hoopai nei hoi i ka hala o na makua maloko o ka poli o ka lakou mau keiki mahope o lakou; ke Akua nui a me ka mana, o Iehova Sabaota kona inoa.
You show thousands of people that you faithfully love them, but you punish people for the sins that their parents have committed. [You are the] great and powerful God, the Commander of the armies of angels.
19 He nui ka naauao, he mana hoi i ka hana: no ka mea, e kaakaa ana kou mau maka maluna iho o na aoao a pau o na keiki a kanaka; e uku mai i kela mea i keia mea e like me kona mau aoao, a e like hoi me ka hua o kana hana ana;
You make wise plans and you do mighty deeds. You see how all people behave [DOU], and you do to them what they deserve.
20 Ka mea nana i hoonoho i na hoailona a me na mea kupaianaha ma ka aina o Aigupita, a hiki i neia la, iloko hoi o ka Iseraela, a iwaena o kanaka; a i hookaulana i kou inoa, me ia i keia la;
You performed many miracles [DOU] in Egypt, and you continue [to perform miracles here] in Israel and everywhere else in the world. [Because of that], you have (become very famous/caused many people to know that you are very great/powerful).
21 A i lawe mai i kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela mai ka aina o Aigupita mai me na hoailona, a me na mea kupaianaha, a me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kakauha, a me ka weliweli nui;
You brought our Israeli ancestors out of Egypt by performing many great miracles [DOU], using your very great power [DOU], causing [our enemies to be] terrified.
22 A haawi mai la no lakou i keia aina, au i hoohiki ai i ko lakou poe kupuna e haawi mai no lakou, he aina e kahe ana ka waiu a me ka meli;
You gave to us Israeli people this land that you solemnly promised to give to our ancestors, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
23 A komo mai la lakou a noho iho la; aka, aole lakou i hoolohe i kou leo, aole hoi i hele ma kou kanawai: aole lakou i hana iki i ka mea a pau au i kauoha mai ai ia lakou e hana; nolaila ua kau mai ai oe i keia popilikia a pau maluna iho o lakou.
Our ancestors came here and conquered this land and started to live in it, but they refused to obey you or to do what you commanded them to do. Because of that, you have caused us to experience all these disasters.
24 Aia hoi na puu kaua, ua hiki mai i ke kulanakauhale e lawepio ia ia, a ua haawiia ke kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ka poe Kaledea e kaua ku e mai ana, no ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a me ka ahulau: a ua ko io no ka mea au i olelo mai ai; aia hoi, ke ike mai nei oe.
And now, [the army] of Babylonia has built ramps up against our city [walls] in order to attack our city. Because of [our enemies’] swords and because of famines and diseases, they will be able to conquer it [easily]. The things that you said would happen have [now] happened.
25 E ka Haku, Iehova e, ua olelo mai oe ia'u, E kuai i ka aina me ke kala, a e lalau i na mea ike maka; aka, ua lilo ke kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ka poe Kaledea.
[And it is evident that] the Babylonian army will soon conquer this city. So now, Yahweh my Lord, [I do not understand] why you told me to buy this field with my silver, while others were watching. [It seems that I have just been wasting my money by doing that]!”
26 Alaila hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova io Ieremia la, i mai la,
[Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
27 Aia hoi, owau no o Iehova, ke Akua o na mea io a pau: e hiki ole anei kekahi mea ia u?
“I am Yahweh, the God [who rules] all the people [in the world]. There is absolutely nothing [RHQ] that is too difficult for me [to do].
28 Nolaila, ke olelo nei o Iehova; Aia hoi, e haawi no wau i keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ka poe Kaledea, a iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona, a e hoopio auanei oia ia.
So, this is what I say: [It is true that] I will enable the Babylonian army and King Nebuchadnezzar to capture this city.
29 A o ka poe Kaledea e kaua mai ana i keia kulanakauhale, e hele mai lakou, a e puhi i keia kulanakauhale, a e hoopau lakou ia i ke ahi, me na hale hoi, maluna olaila kahi i puhi ai lakou nei i ka mea ala na Baala, a ninini iho ai i na mohaiinu no na akua e, i mea e hoonaukiuki mai ai ia'u.
The soldiers of Babylonia who are [now outside the walls] around the city will enter and burn this city. They will burn down [all] the houses where people caused me to become angry by burning incense on [the tops of] their roofs to [honor] Baal and by pouring out offerings of wine to other gods.
30 No ka mea, ua hana hewa wale no na mamo a Iseraela a me na mamo a Iuda imua o'u mai ko lakou wa kamalii mai: no ka mea, ua hoonaukiuki wale mai no na mamo a Iseraela ia'u, i ka hana a ko lakou mau lima, wahi a Iehova.
The people of Israel and Judah have continually done only evil things from the time that they became a nation. They have caused me to become very angry by all their evil deeds.
31 No ka mea, he mea hoonaukiuki. a me ka hooinaina ia'u keia kulanakauhale, mai ka la mai i kukulu ai lakou ia a hiki i keia la, i mea e hoonee aku ai au ia mai ko'u alo aku;
From the time that this city was built until now, the people of this city have done [only] things that caused me to be very angry [DOU]. So [now] I will destroy it.
32 No ka hewa a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, a o na mamo a Iuda, ka mea a lakou i hana'i e hoonaukiuki mai ia'u, o lakou, o ko lakou poe alii, a me na luna o lakou, a me ko lakou poe kahuna, a me ko lakou poe kaula, a me na kanaka o ka Iuda, a me ka poe e noho ana ma Ierusalema.
The people of Israel and Judah, [including] their kings, their officials, the priests, the [false] prophets, and all the other people in Jerusalem have committed many sins that have caused me to become angry.
33 A ua huli lakou i ke kua ia'u, aole i ka maka: owau nae ka mea nana lakou i ao aku e ala ana i ka wanaao e ao aku; aole nae lakou i hoolohe mai, i loaa ia lakou ke akamai.
My people have turned away from me and have refused to return to me. Even though I taught them things many times, they would not pay attention to what I taught them, and they would not obey me.
34 A kau no lakou i ko lakou mea haumia iloko o ka hale i kapaia ma ko'u inoa, e hoohaumia ia.
They have set up their detestable idols [even] in my own [MTY] temple and (defiled it/caused it to become a place that is unacceptable for people to worship me).
35 A hana no hoi lakou i na wahi kiekie o Baala, na mea ma ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, i mea e hele ai ka lakou keikikane a me ka lakou kaikamahine i Moleka, ka mea a'u i kauoha ole aku ai ia lakou, aole hoi ia i komo iloko o ko'u manao e hana lakou i keia mea haumia e hewa'i o ka Iuda.
They have built shrines to [honor] Baal in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and there they sacrifice their sons and daughters to [their god] Molech. I never commanded them to do such horrible things. I never even thought that anyone might do such a terrible thing. And by doing it they have caused [all the people of] Judah to [be guilty of having] sinned.”
36 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela no keia kulanakauhale, ka mea a oukou i olelo ai, E haawiia oia iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, no ka pahikaua, a no ka wi, a no ka mai ahulau; peneia,
“But now [I will say something more] about this city. You [people of Jerusalem] have been saying, ‘[The army of] the King of Babylon will conquer it, either by their swords or because of famines or diseases.’ But this is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say:
37 Aia hoi, e hoiliili mai nei au ia lakou mai loko mai o na aina a pau, kahi a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou i ko'u huhu, a i ko'u ukiuki, a me ka inaina nui; a e hoihoi hou mai au ia lakou i keia wahi, a e hoonoho au ia lakou i ka maluhia.
‘I will certainly bring my people back here again, from all the countries to which I will force them to go because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I will bring them back to this city and allow them to live here safely.
38 A e lilo mai lakou i poe kanaka no'u, a owau auanei ko lakou Akua.
They will be my people, and I will be their God.
39 A e haawi aku no wau ia lakou i hookahi naau, a i hookahi aoao, i makau mau lakou ia'u, i mea e pono ai lakou, a me ka lakou poe keiki mahope iho o lakou.
I will cause them to have one way of thinking [IDM] and behaving, in order that they may revere me, for their good and for the good of their descendants.
40 A e hana wau i berita mau loa me lakou, aole hoi au o huli ae mai o lakou aku, me ka hana ia lakou i ka maikai, a e kau no au i ka makau ia'u iloko o ko lakou naau, aole hoi lakou e haalele mai ia'u.
I will make an agreement with them that will last forever: I will never stop doing good things for them, and I will encourage them to revere me and never turn away from me.
41 E olioli no wau ia lakou, e hana maikai ia lakou, a e hoonoho paa ia lakou ma keia aina, mo ko'u naau a pau, a me ko'u uhane a pau.
I will be happy to do good things for them, and I will surely enable them to return to this land and remain here [MET]; I will do that with all my inner being and all my strength.’
42 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; E like me ko'u lawe ana i keia hewa nui a pau maluna o keia poe kanaka, pela no wau e lawe maluna o lakou i ka maikai a pau a'u i olelo aku ai ia lakau.
And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘I have caused them to experience all these disasters. Similarly, [some day] I will do for them all the good things that I have promised.
43 E kuaiia auanei na mahinaai ma keia aina, kahi a oukou i olelo ai, Ua mehameha, aohe kanaka, aohe holoholona; ua haawiia iloko o ka lima o ko Kaledea.
[By buying land you, Jeremiah, have predicted that some day] people will buy and sell fields in this land about which you [people of Jerusalem] now say, “The Babylonian soldiers have destroyed it. It is [now] desolate. [It is a land where] there are no longer any people or animals.”
44 E kuai no na kanaka i na mahinaai i ke kala, a kakau i palapala e akaka'i, a hoopaa i ka wepa, a e lawe i poe ike, ma ka aina o ka Beniamina a ma na wahi e puni ana ia Ierusalema, a ma na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na kulanakauhale o na mauna, a ma na kulanakauhale o ke awawa, a ma na kulanakauhale o ke kukuluhema; no ka mea, e hoihoi mai au i ko lakou pio ana, wahi a Iehova.
[But some day] people will [again] buy [and sell] fields here. People will sign documents [about buying those fields], and [other people] will witness them doing that. [That will happen] in the land where [the descendants of] Benjamin live and [here] in the villages near Jerusalem, in [other] towns in Judah, in the hilly areas and in the foothills [to the west], and in the southern desert area, [too. Some day] I will cause them to prosper again. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
