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 all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,

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 to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please let our petition be presented before you, and pray for us to YHWH your God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as your 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 YHWH your God may show us the way in which 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 Jeremiah the prophet said to them, "I have heard you; look, I will pray to YHWH your God according to your words; and it shall happen that whatever thing YHWH shall answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back 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;

Then they said to Jeremiah, "YHWH be a true and faithful witness among us, if we do not do according to all the word with which YHWH your God shall send you 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 obey the voice of YHWH our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of YHWH our God."

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

It happened after ten days, that the word of YHWH came to 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 Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces 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 said to them, "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition 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 you will still live in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on 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.

Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him, says YHWH: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from 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.

I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to 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 you say, 'We will not dwell in this land'; so that you do not obey the voice of YHWH 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 we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of 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;

now therefore hear the word of YHWH, O remnant of Judah: Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, 'If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live 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 it shall happen, that the sword, which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, shall follow close behind you there in Egypt; and there you shall 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 it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there: they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on 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 says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: 'As my anger and my wrath has been poured forth on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath be poured forth on you, when you shall enter into Egypt; and you shall be an object of horror, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and you shall see this place no more.'

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.

YHWH has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, 'Do not go into Egypt': know certainly that I have testified to 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 you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to YHWH your God, saying, 'Pray for us to YHWH our God; and according to all that YHWH our God shall say, so declare to 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 this day declared it to you; but you have not obeyed the voice of YHWH your God in anything for which he has sent me to 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.

Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place where you desire to go to live there."
