Jeremiah 29
1 Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon,
EIA na olelo o ka palapala a Ieremia, a ke kaula i hoouna aku ai, mai Ierusalema aku i ke koena o ka poe lunakahiko i lawepioia'ku la, a i na kahuna, a i na kaula, a i na kanaka a pau a Nebukaneza i lawepio ai, mai Ierusalema aku a Babulona;
2 after that Jeconiah the king, and the queen-mother, and the officers, and the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;
(Mahope iho o ka hele ana o Iekonia, ke alii, a me ke alii wahine, a me na luna a me na kaukaualii o ka Iuda a me Ierusalema, a me na kamana, a me na amara, a puka aku la mawaho o Ierusalema; )
3 by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying:
Ma ka lima o Elasa, ke keiki a Sapona, a me Gemaria, ke keiki a Hilekia, (na mea a Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda i hoouna aku ai i Babulona, io Nebukaneza la, i ke alii o Babulona, ) i iho la,
4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all the captivity, whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem unto Babylon:
Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, i ka poe a pau i lawepioia, na mea a'u i lawepio ai, mai Ierusalema aku a Babulona;
5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them, and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
E kukulu hale oukou, a e noho iho; e kanu i na mahinaai, a e ai i kolaila ai:
6 take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply ye there, and be not diminished.
E mare i na wahine, a e hoohanau i na keikikane, a i na kaikamahine; a e lawe i na wahine na ka oukou poe keikikane, a e haawi aku hoi i ka oukou mau kaikamahine e mare i na kane, i hanau mai lakou i na keikikane, a i na kaikamahine; i kawowo oukou malaila, aole hoi e emi iho.
7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray unto the LORD for it; for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
A e imi oukou i ka mea e malu ai ke kulanakauhale, kahi a'u i lawepio ai ia oukou, a e pule aku oukou ia Iehova nona; no ka mea, ma kona malu oukou e malu ai.
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in the midst of you, and your diviners, beguile you, neither hearken ye to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela; Mai puni oukou i ko oukou mau kaula, a me ko oukou mau kilokilo, na mea iwaenakonu o oukou; mai hoolohe hoi oukou i ko oukou moeuhane a oukou e hoomoe ai.
9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in My name; I have not sent them, saith the LORD.
No ka mea, ke wanana wahahee nei lakou ia oukou ma ko'u inoa. Aole au i hoouna ia lakou, wahi a Iehova.
10 For thus saith the LORD: After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will remember you, and perform My good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Mahope o ka pau ana o na makahiki he kanahiku ma Babulona, alaila, e ike aku no au ia oukou, a e hooko i ka'u olelo maikai ia oukou, i ka hoihoi ana mai ia oukou i keia wahi.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
No ka mea, ua ike no wau i na manao a'u e manao nei ia oukou, wahi a Iehova, he mau manao no ka hoomalu, aole no ke ahewa, e haawi ia oukou i hope maikai, a me ka hoolana.
12 And ye shall call upon Me, and go, and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you.
Alaila oukou e hea mai ai ia'u, a e hele hoi oukou, a e pule mai ia'u, a e hoolohe no au ia oukou.
13 And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.
A e imi mai no oukou ia'u a loaa, i ka wa e imi mai ai oukou ia'u me ko oukou naau a pau.
14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD, and I will turn your captivity, and gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you back unto the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
A e loaa no wau ia oukou, wahi a Iehova, a e hoihoi aku au i ko oukou lawepioia; a e hoiliili hoi au ia oukou mai na aina a pau mai, a mai na wahi a pau mai, hahi a'u i kipaku aku ai ia oukou, wahi a Iehova; a e lawe hou no wau ia oukou i kahi malaila aku no wau i lawepio aku ai ia oukou.
15 For ye have said: 'The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon.'
No ka mea, ua olelo oukou, Na Iehova no i hoala mai i mau kaula no kakou ma Babulona.
16 For thus saith the LORD concerning the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people that dwell in this city, your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova no ke alii e noho ana ma ka noho alii o Davida, a no na kanaka a pau e noho la iloko o keia kulanakauhale, a no ko oukou poe hoahanau i hele pu ole me oukou iloko o ke pio;
17 thus saith the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei; Aia hoi, e hoouna au i ka pahikaua maluna o lakou, a me ka wi, a me ka mai ahulau, a e hoolilo wau ia lakou e like me na fiku inoino, pono ole ke aiia, no ko lakou inoino loa.
18 And I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will make them a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them;
A e hahai no wau ia lakou i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a me ka mai ahulau, a e haawi no wau ia lakou a pau e laweia a iloko o na aupuni a pau o ka honua, i mea e poino ai, a i mea pilihua, a i mea hoowahawaha, a i mea henehene, iwaeua o na aina a pau, kahi a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou:
19 because they have not hearkened to My words, saith the LORD, wherewith I sent unto them My servants the prophets, sending them betimes and often; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
No ka mea, aole lakou i hoolohe mai i ka'u mau olelo, wahi a Iehova, na olelo a'u i hoouna aku ai ia lakou ma ka'u mau kauwa, ma na kaula hoi, e ala ana i ka wanaao e hoouna, aka, aole oukou i hoolohe mai, wahi a Iehova.
20 Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
E hoolohe hoi oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e oukou a pau o na mea pio, na mea a'u i hoouna aku ai, mai Ierusalema a Babulona:
21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie unto you in My name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;
Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, no Ahaba, ke koiki a Kolaia, a no Zedekia, ke keiki a Maaseia, na mea i wanana mai i ka wahahee ia oukou ma ko'u inoa; Aia hoi, e haawi no wau ia laua iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona; a e pepehi no oia ia laua imua o ko oukou mau maka:
22 and of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah that are in Babylon, saying: 'The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire';
A ma o laua la e laweia'i ka olelo hoino e ka poe pio a pau o ka Iuda, na mea ma Babulona, me ka olelo iho, Na Iehova e hoohalike ia oe me Zedekia, a me Ahaba, na mea a ke alii o Babulona i ohinu ai ma ke ahi;
23 because they have wrought vile deeds in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken words in My name falsely, which I commanded them not; but I am He that knoweth, and am witness, saith the LORD.
No ka mea, ua hana laua i ka mea lapuwale maloko o ka Iseraela, a ua moe kolohe me na wahine a ko lakou hoalauna, a ua olelo i na olelo wahahee ma ko'u inoa, na mea a'u i kauoha ole ai ia lakou; ua ike no wau, a he hoike no hoi, wahi a Iehova.
24 And concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite thou shalt speak, saying:
E olelo aku no hoi oe ia Semaia, i ka mea moeuhane, e i aku,
25 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: Because thou hast sent letters in thine own name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying:
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o ua kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, me ka i ana mai, No ko hoouka ana i na palapala ma kou inoa i na kanaka a pau ma Ierusalema, a ia Zepania, ke keiki a Maaseia, ke kahuna, a i na kahuna a pau, i ka i ana ae,
26 'The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that there should be officers in the house of the LORD for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in the stocks and in the collar.
Ua hoolilo o Iehova ia oe i kahuna, ma ka hakahaka o Iehoiada, ke kahuna, i mea e noho luna'i oukou maloko o ka hale o Iehova, no kela kanaka keia kanaka hewa-hewa, a hoolilo ia ia iho i kaula, i mea e hahao aku ai oe ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao, a iloko o na laau kupee:
27 Now therefore, why hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who maketh himself a prophet to you,
A ano la, no keaha la oe i papa ole aku ai ia Ieremia no Anetota, ka mea hoolilo ia ia iho i kaula no oukou?
28 forasmuch as he hath sent unto us in Babylon, saying: The captivity is long; build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them?'
No ka mea, nolaila ia i hoouna mai ai io makou ma Babulona nei, i ka i ana mai, Ua loihi keia noho ana; e kukulu hale oukou, a e noho iho; e kanu i ua mahinaai, a e ai i kolaila ai.
29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
A heluhelu aku la o Zepania, ke kahuna i keia palapala ma na pepeiao o Ieremia, ke kaula.
30 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying:
Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova io Ieremia la, i mai la,
31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying: Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he hath caused you to trust in a lie;
E hoouna aku, a i ka poe a pau e noho pio ana, e i aku, Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova no Semaia, ka mea moeuhane; No ko Semaia wanana ana ia oukou, a hoouna ole aku au ia ia, a hoohilinai oia ia oukou i ka wahahee;
32 therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed; he shall not have a man to dwell among this people, neither shall he behold the good that I will do unto My people, saith the LORD; because he hath spoken perversion against the LORD.
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, e hoopai no wau ia Semaia, ka mea moeuhane, a me kana hua; aole e loaa ia ia ke kanaka e noho mawaena o keia poe kanaka; aole hoi oia e ike i ka maikai a'u e hana'i no ko'u poe kanaka, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, ua ao aku oia i ke kipi ana ia Iehova.
