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 Zedekiah son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had made Zedekiah king over the land of Judah.
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 Zedekiah, his servants, and the people of the land did not listen to the words of Yahweh that he proclaimed by the hand of 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.
So King Zedekiah, Jehukal son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest sent a message to Jeremiah the prophet. They said, “Pray on our behalf to Yahweh our God.”
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 coming and going among the people, for he had not yet been put 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 came out from Egypt, and the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard the news about them and left Jerusalem.
6 Alaila, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova i ke kaula, ia Ieremia, i mai la,
Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah 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.
“Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: This is what you will say to the king of Judah, because he has sent you to seek advice from me, 'See, Pharaoh's army, which came to help you, is about to go back to Egypt, its own land.
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.
The Chaldeans will return. They will fight against this city, capture it, and burn it.'
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.
Yahweh says this: Do not deceive yourselves by saying, 'Surely the Chaldeans are leaving us,' for they will not leave.
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.
Even if you had defeated the entire Chaldean army that is fighting you so that only wounded men were left in their tents, they would get up and burn this city.”
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,
So it was when the Chaldean army had left Jerusalem as Pharaoh's army was coming,
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.
then Jeremiah went out from Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin. He wanted to take possession of a tract of land there among his 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.
As he was in the Benjamin Gate, a chief guard was there. His name was Irijah son of Shelemiah son of Hananiah. He grabbed hold of Jeremiah the prophet 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.
But Jeremiah said, “That is not true. I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” But Irijah did not listen to him. He took Jeremiah and brought 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. They beat him and put him in prison, which had been the house of Jonathan the scribe, for they had turned it 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 was put into an underground cell, where he stayed for 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 King Zedekiah sent someone who brought him to the palace. In his house, the king asked him privately, “Is there any word from Yahweh?” Jeremiah answered, “There is a word: You will be given 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 said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, your servants, or this people so that you have placed 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, the ones who prophesied for you and said the king of Babylon will not come against you or 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.
But now listen, my master the king! Let my pleas come before you. Do not return me 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 an order. His servants confined Jeremiah in the courtyard of the guard. A loaf of bread was given him every day from the street of the bakers, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah stayed in the courtyard of the guard.
