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.

Now king Sedecias the son of Josias reigned instead of Jechonias the son of Joakim: whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon made king in the land of Juda.

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 neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land did obey the words of the Lord, that he spoke in the hand of Jeremias 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.

And king Sedecias sent Juchal the son of Selemias, and Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest to Jeremias the prophet, saying: 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 Jeremias walked freely in the midst of the people: for they had not as yet cast him into 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.

And the army of Pharao was come out of Egypt: and the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem, hearing these tidings, departed from Jerusalem.

6 Alaila, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova i ke kaula, ia Ieremia, i mai la,

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, saying:

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.

Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to the king of Juda, who sent you to inquire of me: Behold the army of Pharao, which is come forth to help you, shall return into their own land, into 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.

And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.

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.

Thus saith the Lord: Deceive not your souls, saying: The Chaldeans shall surely depart and go away from us: for they shall not go away;

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.

But if you should even beat all the army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there should be left of them some wounded men: they shall rise up, every man from his tent, and burn this city with Are.

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,

Now when the army of the Chaldeans was gone away from Jerusalem, because of Pharao’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.

Jeremias went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin: and to divide a possession there in the presence of the citizens.

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.

And when he was come to the gate of Benjamin, the captain of the gate, who I was there in his turn, was one named Jerias, the son of Selemias, the son of Hananias: and he took hold of Jeremias the prophet, saying: Thou art fleeing 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.

And Jeremias answered: It is not so, I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Jerias took Jeremias and brought him to the princes.

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.

Wherefore the princes were angry with Jeremias, and they beat him, and cast him into the prison that was in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for he was chief over the 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 Jeremias went into the house of the prison, and into the dungeon: and Jeremias remained there many days.

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.

Then Sedecias the king, sending, took him: and asked him secretly in his house, and said: Is there, thinkest thou, any word from the Lord? And Jeremias said: There is. And he said: Thou shalt be delivered into the hands 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?

And Jeremias said to king Sedecias: In what have I offended against thee, or thy servants, or thy people, that thou hast cast me into 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 that prophesied to you, and said: The king of Babylon shall not come against you, and against 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.

Now therefore hear, I beseech thee, my lord the king: let my petition be accepted in thy sight: and send me not back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I 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.

Then king Sedecias commanded that Jeremias should be committed into the entry of the prison: and that they should give him daily a piece of bread, beside broth, till all the bread in the city were spent: and Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison.
