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,

And 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: “Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us to Jehovah, thy God, for all this remnant; (for we are left a few out of many, as thine eyes do behold 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 Jehovah, thy God, may show us the way wherein we shall walk, and the thing which we shall 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.

And Jeremiah the prophet said to them: “I have heard; behold, I will pray to Jehovah your God, according to your words, and all which Jehovah shall answer you I will declare to you; I will keep back nothing 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: “May Jehovah be our witness, a faithful and true witness! According to all for which Jehovah our God shall send thee to us, so will we do.

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 Jehovah our God, to whom we send thee, that it may be well with us when we shall have obeyed the voice of Jehovah 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 after ten days, that the word of Jehovah 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;

And he called Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which 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 saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, to whom ye sent me to present your 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 still abide 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 repent me of the evil which I have done to 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 not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith Jehovah; for I will be 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.

And I will show mercies to you, that he may have compassion upon 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 ye say, 'We will not dwell in this land,' so as not to hearken to the voice of Jehovah 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 be hungry 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;

now, therefore, hear the word of Jehovah, ye remnant of Judah! Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: If ye set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go 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 it shall come to pass that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, of which ye were afraid, shall follow close after you into 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 it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there. They shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, and not one of them shall remain, or escape from the evil which I bring upon 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 saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my wrath have been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt; and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye 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.

This is the word of Jehovah to you, ye remnant of Judah! Go ye not into Egypt; ye shall surely know 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.

Ye err to your own ruin; for ye sent me to Jehovah your God, saying, 'Pray for us to Jehovah our God, and according to all that Jehovah 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 now I have this day declared it to you, but ye have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah your God, nor to anything for which he 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, ye shall know assuredly, that by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence ye shall die, in the place whither ye have chosen to go and to sojourn.”
