Ieremia 42

1 A LAILA, hookokoke mai la na luna o ka poe koa, a me Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea, a me Iezania, ke keiki a Hosaia, a me na kanaka a pau, mai ka mea uuku a ka mea nui,

Then came near all the captains of the armies, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and Yezanyah the son of Hosha'yah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest,

2 A olelo mai la lakou ia Ieremia i ke kaula, Ke noi aku nei makou ia oe e ae mai i ka haule ana o ko makou nonoi imua ou, a e pule aku hoi ia Iehova, i kou Akua no makou, no keia koena a pau; (no ka mea, ua koe mai makou, he poe uuku noloko mai o na mea nui, e like me ka ike ana o kou mau maka ia makou; )

And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our humble supplication be accepted before thee, and pray in our behalf unto the Lord thy God, in behalf of all this remnant; [for we are left but a few of many, as thy own eyes do see us: ]

3 I hoike mai ai o Iehova, kou Akua ia makou i ke ala e pono ai makou ke hele, a i ka mea hoi e pono ai makou ke hana.

That the Lord thy God may tell us the way whereon we should walk, and the thing that we should do.

4 Alaila, olelo aku la o Ieremia, ke kaula ia lakou, Ua lohe an, aia hoi, e pule no wau ia Iehova, i ko oukou Akua, e like me na olelo a oukou; a o ka mea a Iehova e olelo mai ia oukou, oia ka'u e hai aku ai ia oukou; aole au e huna i kekahi mea ia oukou.

Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto them, I have heard you: behold, I will pray unto the Lord your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the Lord will answer you, I will tell unto you; I will withhold not a word from you.

5 Alaila, olelo mai la lakou ia Ieremia, O Iehova no ka mea hoike oiaio, a pono iwaena o kakou, ke hana ole makou e like me na mea a pau a Iehova e hoouna mai ai ia oe io makou nei;

But they said to Jeremiah, May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us, if we do not act entirely according to all the word with which the Lord thy God may send thee to us:

6 Ina he maikai, a ina he hewa, e hoolohe no makou i ka leo o Iehova ko makou Akua, ka mea ia ia makou e hoouna aku ai ia oe, i pomaikai ai makou i ka wa e hoolohe ai makou i ka leo o Iehova ko makou Akua.

Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will hearken to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; in order that it may be well with us, when we hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.

7 A mahope iho o na la he umi, alaila hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Ieremia.

And it came to pass at the end of ten days, that the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah.

8 Alaila, hea aku oia ia Iohanana, i ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna a pau o na koa, e noho pu ana me ia, a me na kanaka a pau, mai ka mea uuku, a ka mea nui;

Then called he Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

9 I mai la oia ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea ia ia oukou i h ouna aku ai ia'u, e hookau i ko oukou nonoi ana imua ona;

And he said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your humble supplication before him:

10 Ina e noho oukou ma keia aina, alaila, e kukulu no wau ia oukou, aole e hoohiolo, e hoonipaa loa wau ia oukou, aole au e uhuki; no ka mea, na mihi au i ka ino a'u i hana aku ai ia oukou.

If ye will indeed remain in this land, then will I build you up, and I will not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I have bethought me of the evil that I have done unto you.

11 Mai makau i ke alii o Babulona, i ka mea a oukou e makau nei; mai makau ia ia, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, owau pu me oukou e hoola ia oukou, a e hoopakele hoi ia oukou mai kona lima aku.

Be ye not afraid because of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid: have no fear of him, saith the Lord; for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you out of his hand.

12 A e hoike aku au i ka lokomaikai ia oukou, i lokomaikai ai oia ia oukou, a hoihoi mai ia oukou i ko oukou aina iho.

And I will give unto you mercy, that he may have mercy upon you, and let you return to your own land.

13 Aka, ina olelo oukou, Aole makou e noho ma keia aina, aole hoi e hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova, ko oukou Akua;

But if ye say, We will not remain in this land, so as not to hearken to the voice of the Lord your God,

14 A olelo hoi, Aole; e hele no makou i ka aina o Aigupita, ma kahi e ike ole ai makou i ke kaua, aole hoi e lohe i ke kani ana o ka pu, aole hoi e pololi i ka berena; a malaila no makou e noho ai;

Saying, No; but into the land of Egypt will we go, that we may not see war, nor hear the sound of the cornet, and that we may not have hunger for bread; and there will we dwell;

15 No ia mea la, ea, e hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e ke koena o ka Iuda; Ke i mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Ina ikaika ke kau ana o ko oukou maka e hele i Aigupita, e hele hoi a noho malaila;

And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, If ye will indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go thither to sojourn there:

16 Alaila, e hiki mai no keia, o ka pahikaua a oukou i makau ai, e loaa no ia oukou ia malaila, ma ka aina o Aigupita; a o ka wi, ka mea a oukou i makau ai, e pipili no ia ia oukou malaila, ma Aigupita, a malaila oukou e make ai.

Then shall the sword, of which ye are afraid, there overtake you in the land of Egypt; and the famine, whereof ye are in dread, shall there cleave close unto you in Egypt; and there shall ye die.

17 E hiki no ia i na kanaka a pau e kau ana i ko lakou maka e hele i Aigupita e noho malaila: e make no lakou i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau; aohe mea e koe, aole hoi e pakele i ka hewa a'u e lawe ai maluna o lakou.

So shall be all the men that have set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there, —they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and they shall have none that remaineth or escapeth from the evil that I am bringing over them.

18 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, E like me ka ninini ana o ko'u huhu, a me ko'u ukiuki maluna o ka poe e noho la ma Ierusalema: pela no e nininiia'i ko'u ukiuki maluna o oukou. i ka wa e hiki aku ai oukou iloko o Aigupita; a e lilo oukou i mea hailiiliia, a i mea e kahaha'i, a i mea poino, a i mea hoowahawahaia; aole hoi oukou e ike hou mai i keia wahi.

For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, As my anger and my fury were poured forth over the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my fury be poured forth over you, when ye enter into Egypt; and ye shall become an oath, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace; and ye shall never see this place again.

19 Ua olelo no o Iehova no oukou, E, oukou ke koena o ka Iuda, Mai hele oukou i Aigupita; e ike pono oukou, ua hoike aku au ia oukou i keia la.

The Lord hath spoken concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah, “Ye shall not go into Egypt:” ye must know for certain that I have warned you this day.

20 Ua hele hewa oukou e pilikia ai ko oukou ola, i ka wa i hoouna aku ai oukou ia'u io Iehova la, i ko oukou Akua, i ka i ana mai la, E pule aku oe ia Iehova i ko makou Akua no makou; a e like me na mea a pau a Iehova, ko makou Akua e olelo mai ai, pela no oe e hai mai ia makou, a e hana no makou.

For ye have dissembled in regard to what your intentions are; for ye sent me unto the Lord your God, saying, Pray in our behalf unto the Lord our God: and in accordance with all that the Lord our God may say, so tell unto us, and we will do it.

21 A ua hai aku au ia oukou i keia la; aole oukou i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova o ko oukou Akua, aole ma kekahi mea ana i hoouna mai ai ia'u, io oukou la.

And I have told it to you this day; but ye have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord your God, and this in all with which he hath sent me unto you.

22 No ia mea la, ea, e ike pono oukou, e make oukou i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau, ma kahi a oukou e makemake ai e hele, a e noho.

But now know for certain that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go to sojourn there.
