Ieremia 37
1 NOHO aupuni iho la o Zedekia ke alii, ke keiki a Iosia, ma ka hakahaka o Konia, ke keiki a Iehoiakima. na Nebukaneza i hoonoho ia ia i alii ma ka aina o ka Iuda.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made Zedekiah son of Josiah the king of Judah, and he reigned in place of Coniah son of Jehoiakim.
2 Aole oia, aole kana poe kauwa, aole hoi na kanaka o ka aina i hoolohe i na olelo a Iehova, ana i olelo mai ai ma ke kaula ma Ieremia.
But he and his officers and the people of the land refused to obey the words that the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.
3 A hoouna ae la o Zedekia, ke alii ia Iehukala, ke keiki a Selemia, a me Zepania, ke keiki a Maaseia ke kahuna, io Ieremia la, i ae la, E pule oe ia Iehova, i ko kakou Akua, no kakou.
Yet King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, to Jeremiah the prophet with the message, “Please pray to the LORD our God for us!”
4 Hele mai la o Ieremia iloko. a puka aku la iwaho iwaena o na kanaka; no ka mea, ia manawa aole lakou i hoolei ia ia iloko o ka hale paahao.
Now Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for they had not yet put him in prison.
5 Alaila, ua hele mai ka poe kaua o Parao, mai Aigupita mai; a lohe ko Kaledea, ka poe e hoopilikia ana ia Ierusalema i ka olelo no lakou, alaila haalele lakou ia Ierusalema.
Pharaoh’s army had left Egypt, and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
6 Alaila, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova i ke kaula, ia Ieremia, i mai la,
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet:
7 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela; Penei oe e olelo aku ai i ke alii o ka Iuda, ka mea i hoouna mai ia oe io'u nei e ninau mai ia'u; Aia hoi, o ka poe kaua o Parao i hele e kokua ia oukou, e hoi hou no lakou i ko lakou aina iho.
“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says that you are to tell the king of Judah, who sent you to Me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has marched out to help you, will go back to its own land of Egypt.
8 A e hele hou mai no ko Kaledea e kaua i keia kulanakauhale, a e hoopio no lakou i keia wahi, a e puhi hoi i ke ahi.
Then the Chaldeans will return and fight against this city. They will capture it and burn it down.
9 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Mai hoopunipuni oukou ia oukou iho, me ka olelo, E hele aku ko Kaledea, mai o kakou aku; no ka mea, aole lakou e hele aku.
This is what the LORD says: Do not deceive yourselves by saying, ‘The Chaldeans will go away for good,’ for they will not!
10 Ina paha, ua luku oukou i ka poe kaua a pau o ko Kaledea, na mea i kaua mai ia oukou, a koe kekahi mau kanaka wale no i hoehaia, e ku hou mai no kela mea keia mea iloko o kona halelewa, a e puhi i keia kulanakauhale i ke ahi.
Indeed, if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans that is fighting against you, and only wounded men remained in their tents, they would still get up and burn this city down.”
11 A i ka wa i pii aku ai ka poe kaua o Kaledea mai Ierusalema aku no ka makau i ka poe kaua o Parao,
When the Chaldean army withdrew from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
12 Alaila, hele aku la o Ieremia iwaho o Ierusalema e hele i ka aina o ka Beniamina, e hookaawale ia ia iho malaila iwaena o na kanaka.
Jeremiah started to leave Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin to claim his portion there among the people.
13 A hiki oia i ka pukapa o ka Beniamina, aia malaila kekahi luna, o Iriia kona inoa, he keiki na Selemia, ke keiki a Hanania. A lalau iho la oia ia Ieremia i ke kaula, i ae la, Ke iho aku nei oe i ko Kaledea.
But when he reached the Gate of Benjamin, the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, seized him and said, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!”
14 Alaila, olelo aku la o Ieremia, he wahahee, aole e iho aku i ko Kaledea. Aole nae ia i hoolohe mai i kana; aka, lalau mai la o Iriia ia Ieremia, a lawe aku la ia ia i na'lii.
“That is a lie,” Jeremiah replied. “I am not deserting to the Chaldeans!” But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested Jeremiah and took him to the officials.
15 A huhu mai la na'lii ia Ieremia, a hahau mai la ia ia, a hoolei ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao, ma ka hale o Ionatana, ke kakauolelo; no ka mea, ua hoolilo lakou ia hale, i wahi paahao.
The officials were angry with Jeremiah, and they beat him and placed him in jail in the house of Jonathan the scribe, for it had been made into a prison.
16 A ua komo o Ieremia iloko o ka luapaahao, a iloko o na keena, a he nui na la o kona noho ana malaila;
So Jeremiah went into a cell in the dungeon and remained there a long time.
17 Alaila, hoouna mai la o Zedekia, ke alii, a lawe mai la ia ia iwaho. A ninau malu mai la ke alii ia ia ma kona hale, i mai la, He olelo anei mai Iehova mai? I aku la o Ieremia, He olelo no; no ka mea, ua olelo mai oia, E haawiia no oe iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Babuloua.
Later, King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah and received him in his palace, where he asked him privately, “Is there a word from the LORD?” “There is,” Jeremiah replied. “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
18 Olelo aku la no hoi o Ieremia i ke alii ia Zedekia, Heaha ka hewa a'u i hana aku ai ia oe, a i kau poe kauwa, a i keia poe kanaka, i hahao ai oukou ia'u iloko o ka halepaahao?
Then Jeremiah asked King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you or your servants or these people, that you have put me in prison?
19 Auhea ko oukou poe kaula, ka poe i wanaua mai ia oukou me ka olelo iho, Aole hele ku e mai ke alii o Babulona ia oukou, aole hoi ku e i keia aina?
Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, claiming, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you or this land’?
20 Nolaila, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe e hoolohe mai, e kuu Haku ke alii. Ke nonoi aku nei au, i aeia mai ka'u nonoi ana imua ou, i ole oe e hoihoi ia'u i ka hale o Ionatana, ke kakauolelo, o make auanei au malaila.
But now please listen, O my lord the king. May my petition come before you. Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, or I will die there.”
21 Alaila, kauoha ae la o Zedekia, ke alii, e hoonoho lakou ia Ieremia ma ke kahua o ka halepaahao, i haawi hoi lakou nana, i kela la i keia la i hookahi apana berena, mai ke alanui mai o ka poe kahu palaoa, a hiki i ka manawa e hoopauia'i ka berena o ke kulanakauhale. A noho iho la o Ieremia ma ke kahua o ka halepaahao.
So King Zedekiah gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given a loaf of bread daily from the street of the bakers, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
