Ieremia 39
1 I KA iwa o ka makahiki o Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka umi o ka malama, hele mai la o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona, a me kona poe kaua a pau, e ku e ia Ierusalema, a hoopilikia iho la oia ia wahi.
In the tenth month of the ninth year of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his whole army arrived at Jerusalem and besieged it.
2 A i ka umikumamakahi o ka makahiki o Zedekia i ka ha o ka malama, i ka iwa o ka la o ka malama, pio ke kulanakauhale.
On the ninth day of the fourth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah's reign, the city wall was broken through.
3 A komo mai la na luna a pau a ke alii o Babulona, a noho iho la ma ka pukapa waena, o Neregalesareza, a me Samegarenebo, a me Saresekima, ka luna o ka poe i poaia, a me Neregalesareza, ka luna o na Magoi, a me na luna i koe a pau o ke alii o Babulona.
All the officials of the king of Babylon came in and took over the city, making their headquarters at the Middle Gate. They were Nergal-sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-sarsekim the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the other officials of the king of Babylon.
4 A ike aku la o Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda ia lakou, a me na kanaka kaua a pau, alaila pee aku la lakou, a hele aku la iwaho o ke kulanakauhale i ka po ma ke ala o ka mahinaai o ke alii, ma ka pukapa iwaena o na pa elua; a hele aku la oia ma ke ala o ka papu.
When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the defenders saw them there, they ran away. They escaped from the city during the night through the king's garden, passing through the gate between the two walls, and took the road to the Arabah.
5 A hahai aku la ko Kaledea poe kaua ia lakou, a loaa o Zedekia ma na papu o Ieriko. A hoopaa lakou ia ia a lawe aku la ia ia io Nebukaneza la ke alii o Babulona, ma Ribela, ma ka aina ma Hamata, a malaila oia i hoohewa ai ia ia.
But the Babylonian army chased after them and caught up with Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They captured him and brought him before Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he put him on trial and punished him.
6 A pepehi ae la ke alii o Babulona i na keiki a Zedekia, ma Ribela imua hoi o kona mau maka. A pepehi no hoi ke alii o Babulona i na kanaka alii a pau o ka Iuda.
The king of Babylon had Zedekiah's sons killed as Zedekiah watched, and he also executed all of Judah's leaders there in Riblah.
7 A poalo no hoi oia i na maka o Zedekia, a hoopaa iho la ia ia i na kaula keleawe elua, e lawe aku ia ia i Babulona.
Then he had Zedekiah's eyes gouged out, and had him bound with bronze chains and taken away to Babylon.
8 A puhi aku la ko Kaledea i ka hale o ke alii a me na hale o na kanaka i ke ahi, a hoohiolo hoi i na pa o Ierusalema.
The Babylonians burned down the king's palace and the people's houses, and they demolished Jerusalem's city walls.
9 Lawepio aku la no hoi o Nebuzaradana, ka luna kaua, i ke koena o na kanaka e noho ana ma ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe hele, na mea i hele io na la, a me ka poe i koe a pau e koe ana, a i Babulona.
Then Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard carried off to Babylon the rest of the people who had stayed in the city, together with those who had deserted and gone over to him.
10 Waiho mai nae o Nebuzaradana, ka luna kaua i ka poe ilihune o na kanaka, na mea waiwai ole, ma ka aina o ka Iuda, a haawi mai la ia lakou i na pawaina a me na mahinaai ia manawa.
But he left behind in the land of Judah some of the poorest people who didn't have any property. He gave them vineyards and fields at that time.
11 Ua kauoha ae la o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona ia Nebuzaradana, i ka luna kaua no Ieremia, i ae la,
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given orders to Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard regarding Jeremiah, saying,
12 E lawe oe ia ia, a e nana lokomaikai aku oe ia ia, mai hana hewa aku ia ia; e hana no ia ia e like me kana e olelo mai ai ia oe.
“Go and get Jeremiah and watch out that nothing bad happens to him. Do whatever he wants.”
13 Alaila, hoouna mai la o Nebuzaradana, ka luna kaua, a me Nebusasebana, ka luna keenamoe, a me Neregalesareza, ka luna Magoi, a me na luna a pau o ke alii o Babulona;
So Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the army captains of the king of Babylon
14 Hoouna ae la lakou, a lawe mai la ia Ieremia mai ke kahua mai o ka halepaahao, a haawi ia ia, ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama, i ke keiki a Sapana, i lawe oia ia ia i ka hale; a noho iho la oia iwaena o na kanaka.
took Jeremiah from the guard's courtyard, and they handed him over to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him home. Jeremiah stayed there with his own people.
15 Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova io Ieremia la ia ia i paa ai ma ke kahua o ka halepaahao, i mai la,
During the time that Jeremiah had been kept prisoner in the guard's courtyard, a message from the Lord had come to him:
16 O hele a e olelo aku ia Ebedemeleka i ka Aitiopa, i ka i ana aku, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela; Aia hoi, e hookau mai no wau i ka'u mau olelo maluna o keia kulanakauhale no ka hewa, aole no ka maikai; a e hiki mai no ia imua ou i kela la.
“Go and tell Ebed-melech the Cushite that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to keep my promise I made against this city—to harm it and not to help it—you'll see it for yourself when it happens.
17 E hoopakele nae au ia oe i kela la, wahi a Iehova; aole e haawiia'ku oe iloko o na lima o ka poe kanaka au e makau nei.
But when that day comes I'm going to save you, declares the Lord. You won't be handed over to the people you're afraid of.
18 No ka mea, e koopakele io no wau ia oe, aole oe e make i ka pahikaua, o kou ola no kou waiwaipio; no ka mea, ua hilinai mai oe ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
I promise to rescue you so that you're won't be killed. Your reward will be your life, because you trusted in me, declares the Lord.”
