Ieremia 41
1 I KA hiku o ka malama, hiki mai la keia mau mea; o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, ke keiki a Elisama, no ka hanauna alii, a me na luna o ke alii, he umi kanaka pu me ia, hele mai la lakou ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama, ma Mizepa; a malaila lakou i ai pu ai i ka berena ma Mizepa.
The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord (now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the country of his dominion, were warring against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda, ) saying,
2 Alaila, ku mai la o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, a me na kanaka he umi e noho pu ana me ia, a pepehi iho la ia Gedalia i ke keiki a Ahikama, i ke keiki a Sapana i ka pahikaua, a make oia, o ka mea hoi a ke alii o Babulona i hoolilo ai i kiaaina o ia aina.
Thus has the Lord said; Go to Sedekias king of Juda, and you shall say to him, Thus has the Lord said, This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it, and shall burn it with fire:
3 A pepehi no hoi o Isemaela i na Iudaio a pau e noho pu ana me ia, me Gedalia hoi ma Mizepa, a me ko Kaledea i loaa ia ia malaila, o na kanaka kaua hoi.
and you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall certainly be taken, and shall be given into his hands; and your eyes shall see his eyes, and you shall enter into Babylon.
4 A i ka lua o ka la mahope iho o kona pepehi ana ia Gedalia, aole kanaka i ike,
But hear the word of the Lord, O Sedekias king of Juda; Thus says the Lord,
5 Alaila, hele mai la kekahi mau kanaka, mai Sekema, a mai Silo, a mai Samaria mai, he kanawalu lakou, ua kahi ko lakou nmiumi, ua haehaeia ko lakou aahu, ua okioki ia lakou iho: he mau mohai, a he mea ala ma ko lakou lima e lawe i ka hale o Iehova.
You shall die in peace: and as they wept for your fathers that reigned before you, they shall weep also for you, [saying], Ah lord! and they shall lament for you down to the grave: for I have spoken the word, said the Lord.
6 A hele aku la o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, mai Mizepa aku, e halawai me lakou, a uwe no hoi i kona hele ana; a i kona halawai ana me lakou, i ae la ia ia lakou, E hele mai ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama.
And Jeremias spoke to king Sedekias all these words in Jerusalem.
7 A ia lakou i hele ai iloko o ke kulauakauhale, Pepehi aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania ia lakou, a hoolei aku la iloko o ka lua, oia, a me na kanaka pu me ia.
And the host of the king of Babylon warred against Jerusalem, and against the cities of Juda, and against Lachis, and against Azeca: for these strong cities were left amongst the cities of Juda.
8 A loaa iwaena o lakou, he umi kanaka, i mai la lakou ia Isemaela, Mai pepehi ia makou; no ka mea, he waiwai ko makou ma ka papu, he huapalaoa, he huabale, a he aila, a he meli. Nolaila, oki iho la oia, aole i pepehi pu ia lakou me ko lakou poe hoahanau.
The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, after king Sedekias had concluded a covenant with the people, to proclaim a release;
9 O ka lua, kahi o Isemaela i hoolei ai i na kupapau a pau o na kanaka ana i pepehi aku ai me Gedalia, oia ka mea a Asa ke alii i hana'i no ka makau ia Baasa, ke alii o ka Iseraela; a hoopiha iho la o Isemaela ke keiki o Netania ia wahi i ka poe i make.
That every one should set at liberty his servant, and every one has handmaid, the Hebrew man and Hebrew woman, that no man of Juda should be a bondman.
10 Alaila, lawepio aku la o Isemaela i ke koena a pau o na kanaka ma Mizepa, i na kaikamahine a ke alii, a me na kanaka a pau i koe ma Mizepa, ka poe a Nebuzaredana, ka lunakaua i haawi ai ia Gedalia, ke keiki a Ahikama; lawepio aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania ia lakou, a hele aku la, i hiki i ka Amona.
Then all the nobles, and all the people who had entered into the covenant, [engaging] to set free every one his man-servant, and every one his maid, turned,
11 A lohe o Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, i ka hewa a pau a Isemaela ke keiki a Netania i hana'i,
and gave them over to be menservants and maidservants.
12 Alaila, lawe ae la ia i na kanaka a pau, a hele aku la, e kaua me Isemaela, i ke keiki a Netania, a loaa oia ma na wai nui ma Gibeona.
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,
13 A hiki i ka manawa a na kanaka a pau me Isemaela i ike mai ai ia Iohanana, i ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, alaila, olioli iho la lakou.
Thus says the Lord; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day wherein I took them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
14 O na kanaka a pau a Isemaela i lawepio ai, huli lakou, a hoi, a hele ia Iohanana i ke keiki a Karea.
When six years are accomplished, you shall set free your brother the Hebrew, who shall be sold to you: for he shall serve you six years, and [then] you shall let him go free: but they listened not to me, and inclined not their ear.
15 Pakele aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania mai Iohanana aku, oia a me na kanaka ewalu i hele pu me ia i ka Amona.
And this day they turned to do that which was right in my sight, to proclaim every one the release of his neighbour; and they had concluded a covenant before me, in the house whereon my name is called.
16 Alaila, lawe o Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, i ke koena a pau o na kanaka i loaa ia ia ma Mizepa mai Isemaela mai, ke keiki a Netania mai, mahope iho o kona pepehi ana ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahika ma, o na kanaka kaua a me na wahine, a me na Keiki, a me ua mea i poaia, ka poe ana i lawe ae ai, mai Gibeona mai;
But you turned and profaned my name, to bring back every one his servant, and every one his handmaid, whom you had sent forth free [and] at their own disposal, to be to you menservants and maidservants.
17 A hele aku la lakou, a noho ma kahi noho o Kimehama, aia kokoke i Betelehema, ma ke ala e komo aku ai i Aigupita,
Therefore thus said the Lord; You have not listened to me, to proclaim a release every one to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a release to you, to the sword, and to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you up to dispersion [amongst] all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 No ko Kaledea; no ka mea, ua makau ia lakou, no ko Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania pepehi ana ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama, ka mea a ke alii o Babulona i hoonoho ai i kiaaina no ia aina.
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not kept my covenant, which they made before me, the calf which they prepared to sacrifice with it,
the princes of Juda, and the men in power, and the priests, and the people;
I will even give them to their enemies, and their carcases shall be food for the birds of the sky and for the wild beasts of the earth.
And I will give Sedekias king of Judea, and their princes, into the hands of their enemies, and the host of the king of Babylon [shall come upon] them that run away from them.
Behold, I [will] give command, says the Lord, and will bring them back to this land; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire, and the cities of Juda; and I will make them desolate without inhabitants.
