Ieremia 34
1 KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, i ka wa i kaua'i o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, a me kona poe kaua a pau, a me na aupuni a pau o ka honua, na aupuni malalo iho o kona lima, a kaua na kanaka a pau ia Ierusalema, a i kona mau kulanakauhale a pau, i mai la,
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, all his army, all the earthly kingdoms under his control, and all the other nations were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding cities.
2 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, penei: O hele, a e olelo aku ia Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a e hai aku ia ia, Ke i mai o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, e haawi no wau i keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a e puhi no oia ia wahi i ke ahi.
The LORD, the God of Israel, told Jeremiah to go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him that this is what the LORD says: “Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down.
3 Aole hoi oe e pakale mai kona lima aku, aka, e pio io no oe, a e haawiia iloko o kona lima; a e ike aku no kou mau maka i na maka o ke alii o Babulona, a e kamailio no kona waha me kou waha, a e hele no oe i Babulona.
And you yourself will not escape his grasp, but will surely be captured and delivered into his hand. You will see the king of Babylon eye to eye and speak with him face to face; and you will go to Babylon.
4 E Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, e hoolohe mai oe i ka olelo a Iehova; Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova nou, Aole oe e make i ka pahikaua;
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the LORD says concerning you: You will not die by the sword;
5 E make no oe maloko o ka malubia. Me ke kuni ana no na makua ou, na'lii kahiko mamua ou, pela no lakou e kuni ai i na mea ala nou. A e kanikau lakou ia oe, Auwe ka haku! Ua hai aku no wau i ka olelo, wahi a Iehova.
you will die in peace. As spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who preceded you, so people will burn spices for you and lament, ‘Alas, O master!’ For I Myself have spoken this word, declares the LORD.”
6 Alaila, olelo aku no o Ieremia ke kaula i keia mau olelo a pau ia Zedekia, ko alii o ka Iuda ma Ierusalema;
In Jerusalem, then, Jeremiah the prophet relayed all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah
7 A kaua ko alii o ko Babulona poe kaua ia Ierusalema, a i ua kulanakauhale a pau i koe o ka Iuda, ia Lakisa, a ia Azeka; no ka mea, o keia mau kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa i koe o na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda.
as the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the remaining cities of Judah—against Lachish and Azekah. For these were the only fortified cities remaining in Judah.
8 O ka olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, mahope iho o ka Zedekia hana ana i berita me ka poe kanaka a pau ma Ierusalema, e kala aku i ko lakou noho kauwa ole ana;
After King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim liberty, the word came to Jeremiah from the LORD
9 I kuu wale aku kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana kauwakane, a o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana kauwawahine, ina he Heberakane, a ina he Heberawahine, i hoopaa ole ai kekahi i kona hoahanau Hebera i kauwa luhi wale nana.
that each man should free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female, and no one should hold his fellow Jew in bondage.
10 A lohe na'lii a pau, a me na kanaka a pau i komo i ka berita, e hookuu ana kela mea keia mea i kana kauwakane, a o kela mea keia mea i kana kauwawahine, i ole lakou e hoopaa ia lakou i kauwa, alaila hoolohe ae la lakou, a kuu ae la.
So all the officials and all the people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their menservants and maidservants and no longer hold them in bondage. They obeyed and released them,
11 A mahope iho, huli lakou, a hoihoi ae la lakou i na kauwakane, a me na kauwawahine a lakou i kuu iho ai, a hookauwa ae la ia lakou i kauwakane, a i kauwawahine.
but later they changed their minds and took back the menservants and maidservants they had freed, and they forced them to become slaves again.
12 Alaila, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, i mai la,
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
13 Ke i mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; Hana aku la au i berita me ko oukou poe kupuna, i ka la a'u i lawe mai ai ia lakou, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a mai ka hale mai o ka poe kauwa, i mai la,
“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, saying:
14 I ka pau ana o na makahiki ehiku e kuu aku oukou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hoahanau i ka Hebera i kuaiia nou; a hookauwa mai oia nau no na makahiki eono, alaila e kuu wale aku oe ia ia, mai ou aku la; aole nae i hoolohe mai ko oukou mau kupuna i ka'u, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko lakou pepeiao.
Every seventh year, each of you must free his Hebrew brother who has sold himself to you. He may serve you six years, but then you must let him go free. But your fathers did not listen or incline their ear.
15 Ano iho nei, ua hoohuliia oukou, a ua hana pono kela kanaka keia kanaka imua ou i ke kukala ana aku i ka hookuu wale ia o kona hoalauna: a ua hana hoi oukou i berita imua o'u ma ka hale i heaia ko'u inoa maluna ona:
Recently you repented and did what pleased Me; each of you proclaimed freedom for his neighbor. You made a covenant before Me in the house that bears My Name.
16 Aka, ua huli oukou, a ua hoohaumia i ko'u inoa, a ua hoihoi mai kela kanaka keia kanaka i kaua kauwakane, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana kauwawahine a lakou i kuu wale ai ma ko lakou makemake, a ua hookauwa hou ia lakou, i lilo lakou i kauwakane a i kauwawahine na oukou.
But now you have changed your minds and profaned My name. Each of you has taken back the menservants and maidservants whom you had set at liberty to go wherever they wanted, and you have again forced them to be your slaves.
17 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aole oukou i hoolohe mai ia'u ma ke kukala ana i ke kuu wale ia o kela kanaka no kona hoahanau, o kela kanaka no kona hoalauna. Aia hoi, ke kukala aku nei au i ke kuu wale ia oukou i ka pahikaua, a i ka mai ahulau, a i ka wi, a e hooauhee aku au ia oukou iloko o na aupuni a pau o ka honua.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed Me; you have not proclaimed freedom, each man for his brother and for his neighbor. So now I proclaim freedom for you, declares the LORD—freedom to fall by sword, by plague, and by famine! I will make you a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 A e haawi no wau i na kanaka i lawehala i ka'u berita, o ka poe i hana ole ma na olelo o ka berita a lakou i hana'i imua o'u, ia lakou i oki ae i ke keikihipa mawaena, a hele ae mawaena o kona mau apana.
And those who have transgressed My covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before Me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two in order to pass between its pieces.
19 O na'lii o ka Iuda a me na'lii o Ierusalema, na luna a me na kahuna, a me na kanaka a pau o ka aina, ka poe i hele mawaena o na apana o ke keikibipi;
The officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the pieces of the calf,
20 E haawi no wau ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, a iloko o ka lima o ka poe e imi ana i ko lakou ola. A e lilo no ko lakou kupapau i mea ai na na manu o ka lani, a na na holoholona o ka honua.
I will deliver into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives. Their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.
21 A e haawi no hoi au ia Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a me kana poe alii i ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, iloko o ka lima o ka poe e imi ana i ko lakou ola, a iloko o ka lima o ka poe kaua o ke alii o Babulona, ka poe i pii aku, mai o oukou aku nei.
And I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives, to the army of the king of Babylon that had withdrawn from you.
22 Na'u no e kauoha aku, wahi a Iehova, a e hoihoi mai ia lakou i keia kulanakauhale; a e kaua mai lakou ia wahi, a e hoopio, a e puhi ia wahi i ke ahi. A e hoolilo wau i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda i mehameha, aohe mea e noho ana.
Behold, I am going to give the command, declares the LORD, and I will bring them back to this city. They will fight against it, capture it, and burn it down. And I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
