Selemaia 32
1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
1KO E folofola naʻe haʻu kia Selemaia meia Sihova ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu taʻu ʻo Nepukanesa.
2At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard that was in the palace of the king of Judah.
2He naʻe kāpui ʻa Selūsalema ʻe he kau tau ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe tuku ʻa Selemaia ko e palōfita ki he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
3For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying, “Why do you prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the LORD: Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it;
3He kuo tuku ia ki ai ʻe Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke kikite ai, ʻo lea, ‘ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, Vakai, te u tukuange ʻae kolo ni ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne kapa ia;
4Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye.
4Pea ʻe ʻikai hao ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta mei he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia, ka ʻe tukuange moʻoni ia ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne alea mo ia, ko e ngutu ki he ngutu, pea ʻe mamata ia ki hono mata.
5And he shall take Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he shall remain until I visit him, declares the LORD. Though you fight against the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed’?”
5Pea te ne tataki ʻa Setikia ki Papilone, pea te ne nofo ai, ke ʻoua ke u ʻaʻahi kiate ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova: “pea kapau te mou tau mo e kau Kalitia, ʻe ʻikai te mou monūʻia.”|’|”
6Jeremiah said, “The word of the LORD came to me:
6Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Selemaia, “Naʻe haʻu kiate au, ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
7Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you and say, ‘Buy my field that is at Anathoth, for the right of redemption by purchase is yours.’
7‘Vakai, ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻa Hanamili ko e foha ʻo Salumi ko e tokoua ʻo hoʻo tamai, ʻo pehē, fakatau moʻou ʻae ngoue ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ʻAnatoti: he ʻoku totonu ke ke fakatau ia ʻo hangē ko e fono ʻoe huhuʻi.”|’|”
8Then Hanamel my cousin came to me in the court of the guard, in accordance with the word of the LORD, and said to me, ‘Buy my field that is at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession and redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.’Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
8“Ko ia naʻe haʻu kiate au ki he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula ʻa Hanamili ko e foha ʻoe tokoua ʻeku tamai, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, pea ne pehē kiate au, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakatau ʻeku ngoue ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ʻAnatoti, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ʻo Penisimani: he ʻoku ʻaʻau ia ʻo hangē ko e fono ʻoe hoko, pea ʻoku ʻiate koe hono huhuʻi; ke ke fakatau ia maʻau.’ “Pea naʻaku toki ʻilo tā ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova.
9“And I bought the field at Anathoth from Hanamel my cousin, and weighed out the money to him, seventeen shekels of silver.
9Pea naʻaku fakatau ʻae ngoue ʻa Hanamili ko e foha ʻoe tokoua ʻo ʻeku tamai, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ʻAnatoti, pea u fakatatau ʻae paʻanga kiate ia, ko e sikeli siliva ʻe hongofulu ma fitu.
10I signed the deed, sealed it, got witnesses, and weighed the money on scales.
10Pea naʻaku tohi ʻae tohi, pea fakamaʻu ia, pea naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻe he kau fakamoʻoni, pea u fakamamafa kiate ia ʻae paʻanga ʻi he meʻa fakatatau.
11Then I took the sealed deed of purchase, containing the terms and conditions and the open copy.
11Pea ne u toʻo fakatouʻosi ʻae fakamoʻoni ki he fakatau, ʻaia naʻe fakamaau, pea mo ia naʻe ʻikai fakamaau, ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻoe fono:
12And I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my cousin, in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, and in the presence of all the Judeans who were sitting in the court of the guard.
12Pea u foaki ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻae fakatau kia Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelia, ko e foha ʻo Māseia, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Hanamili ko e foha ʻoe tokoua ʻo ʻeku tamai, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamoʻoni naʻe tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fakatau, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau Siu naʻe nofo ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula.
13I charged Baruch in their presence, saying,
13“Pea naʻaku fekau kia Paluki ʻi honau ʻao, ʻo pehē,
14‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, both this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware vessel, that they may last for a long time.
14ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘Toʻo ʻae ngaahi fakamoʻoni ki he fakatau, ʻaia ʻoku fakamaʻu, mo ia ʻoku taʻefakamaʻu fakatouʻosi; pea ʻai ia ki he ipu kelekele, koeʻuhi ke tolonga ia ki he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.’
15For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.’
15He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘ʻE toe maʻu ʻae ngaahi fale, mo e ngaahi ngoue, pea mo e ngaahi ngoue vaine ʻi he fonua ni.’
16“After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying:
16Pea hili ʻeku tukuange ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻoe fakatau kia Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelia, naʻaku toki lotu kia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
17‘Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.
17“ʻEiki ko Sihova! Vakai, kuo ke ngaohi ʻae langi pea mo māmani ʻi ho mālohi lahi pea mo e nima mafao, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku faingataʻa kiate koe:
18You show steadfast love to thousands, but you repay the guilt of fathers to their children after them, O great and mighty God, whose name is the LORD of hosts,
18Kuo ke fakahā ʻa hoʻo ʻulungāanga ʻofa ki he ngaahi toko afe, pea ʻoku ke totongi ʻae hia ʻae ngaahi tamai ki he fatafata ʻo ʻenau fānau ʻoku muimui ʻiate kinautolu: ko e ʻOtua Lahi, pea Māfimafi, Ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau hono huafa,
19great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
19Ko e lahi ia ʻi he fakakaukau, pea mālohi ʻi he ngāue: he ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi faianga ʻoe ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata ʻa ho fofonga: ke ʻatu taki taha kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko hono ngaahi hala, pea hangē ko e fua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faianga:
20You have shown signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all mankind, and have made a name for yourself, as at this day.
20ʻA koe naʻa ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea mo ʻIsileli, pea ki he ngaahi kakai kehe, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni; pea kuo ke fakaongoongoa ho huafa, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he ʻaho ni;
21You brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and outstretched arm, and with great terror.
21Pea kuo ke ʻomi ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo, ʻaki ʻae nima mālohi, pea mo e nima mafao atu, pea mo e meʻa fakailifia lahi;
22And you gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
22Pea kuo ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae fonua ni, ʻaia naʻa ke fuakava ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai te ke foaki kiate kinautolu, ko e fonua ʻoku fetāfeaki ai ʻae huʻahuhu pea mo e meʻa huʻamelie
23And they entered and took possession of it. But they did not obey your voice or walk in your law. They did nothing of all you commanded them to do. Therefore you have made all this disaster come upon them.
23Pea naʻa nau hū ki ai, ʻo maʻu ia ka naʻe ʻikai te nau talangofua ki ho leʻo, pe ʻaʻeva ʻi hoʻo fono; naʻe ʻikai te nau fai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ke fekau kiate kinautolu ke nau fai: ko ia kuo ke fakahoko kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi kovi ni kotoa pē:
24Behold, the siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and because of sword and famine and pestilence the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What you spoke has come to pass, and behold, you see it.
24“Vakai ki he te u tau, kuo nau haʻu ki he kolo ke kapa ia; pea kuo tukuange ʻae kolo ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia, ʻoku tauʻi ʻaki ia ʻae heletā, mo e honge, mo e mahaki fakaʻauha, pea ko ia naʻa ke folofola ki ai kuo hoko; pea vakai, ʻoku ke ʻafio ki ai.
25Yet you, O Lord GOD, have said to me, “Buy the field for money and get witnesses”—though the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.’”
25Pea naʻa ke pehē kiate au, ‘ʻE ʻEiki ko Sihova, Ke ke fakatauʻaki ʻae ngoue ʻae paʻanga, pea fili ha kau fakamoʻoni;’ he kuo tukuange ʻae kolo ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia.”
26The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
26Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
27“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?
27“Vakai, Ko au ko Sihova, Ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai kotoa pē: ʻoku ai ha meʻa ʻe faingataʻa kiate au?
28Therefore, thus says the LORD: Behold, I am giving this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.
28Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; Vakai, te u tukuange ʻae kolo ni ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia, pea ki he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne maʻu ia:
29The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city shall come and set this city on fire and burn it, with the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
29Pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kau Kalitia, ʻo tauʻi ʻae kolo ni, pea te nau tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻae kolo ni, pea tungia mo e ngaahi fale, ʻaia naʻa nau tutu ai ʻi he tuʻa fale ʻae meʻa namu kakala kia Peali, pea lilingi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau inu ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ke fakahouhauʻi au.
30For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth. The children of Israel have done nothing but provoke me to anger by the work of their hands, declares the LORD.
30“He kuo fai kovi pe ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo e fānau ʻa Siuta talu ʻenau kei siʻi: he kuo fakahouhau ʻaki pe au ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae ngāue ʻa honau nima, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
31This city has aroused my anger and wrath, from the day it was built to this day, so that I will remove it from my sight
31He kuo hoko kiate au ʻae kolo ni ko e tupuʻanga ʻo ʻeku tuputāmaki mo hoku houhau talu mei he ʻaho naʻa nau langa ai ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni; koeʻuhi ke u hiki ia mei hoku ʻao,
32because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger—their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
32Koeʻuhi ko e kovi kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli pea mo e fānau ʻa Siuta, ʻaia kuo nau fakahouhauʻi au, ko kinautolu, mo honau ngaahi tuʻi, mo honau houʻeiki, mo honau kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo honau kau palōfita, pea mo e kau tangata ʻo Siuta, pea mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema.
33They have turned to me their back and not their face. And though I have taught them persistently, they have not listened to receive instruction.
33Pea kuo nau fulituʻa kiate au, pea fakahanga atu honau mata: ka naʻaku ako kiate kinautolu, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake ke akoʻi ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga ke maʻu ʻae akonaki.
34They set up their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it.
34Ka naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻi he fale, ʻaia ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa hoku huafa, ke fakaʻuliʻi ia.
35They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
35Pea kuo nau langa ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo Peali, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ke pule ki honau ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ke ʻalu ʻi he afi kia Moleki; ʻaia naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai ia, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi teu loto ki ai, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai ʻae meʻa fakalielia ni, ke fakaangahalaʻi ʻaki ʻa Siuta.”
36“Now therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, ‘It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, by famine, and by pestilence’:
36Pea ko eni, ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he kolo ni, ʻaia ʻoku mou pehē ki ai, “ʻE tukuange ia ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi he heletā, mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha:”
37Behold, I will gather them from all the countries to which I drove them in my anger and my wrath and in great indignation. I will bring them back to this place, and I will make them dwell in safety.
37“Vakai, te u tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻaku kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai ʻi heʻeku tuputāmaki, mo hoku houhau, pea mo hoku houhau lahi; pea te u toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he potu ni pea te u pule ke nau nofo ʻi he fiemālie:
38And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
38Pea te nau hoko ko hoku kakai, pea teu hoko ko honau ʻOtua:
39I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their own good and the good of their children after them.
39Pea te u foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae loto pe taha, mo e hala pe taha, koeʻuhi ke nau manavahē kiate au ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi ke nau lelei ai, pea lelei mo ʻenau fānau ki mui ʻiate kinautolu:
40I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to them. And I will put the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me.
40Pea te u fai mo kinautolu ʻae fuakava taʻengata, ʻe ʻikai teu tafoki meiate kinautolu, ʻi he fai lelei kiate kinautolu; ka te u ʻai ki honau loto ʻae manavahē kiate au, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau liʻaki au.
41I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul.
41ʻIo, te u fiefia ʻiate kinautolu, ke fai lelei kiate kinautolu, pea ko e moʻoni te u tō ʻakinautolu ʻi he fonua ni ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pea mo hoku laumālie kotoa.”
42“For thus says the LORD: Just as I have brought all this great disaster upon this people, so I will bring upon them all the good that I promise them.
42“He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; ʻO hangē kuo u ʻomi ʻae kovi lahi ni kotoa pē ki he kakai ni, ʻe pehē foki ʻeku ʻomi ʻae lelei kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u talaʻofa ki ai kiate kinautolu.
43Fields shall be bought in this land of which you are saying, ‘It is a desolation, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’
43Pea ʻe fakatau ʻae ngaahi ngoue ʻi he fonua ni, ʻaia ʻoku mou pehē ki ai, ʻOku lala ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata pe ha manu ʻi ai; kuo tukuange ia ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia.
44Fields shall be bought for money, and deeds shall be signed and sealed and witnessed, in the land of Benjamin, in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negeb; for I will restore their fortunes, declares the LORD.”
44ʻE fakatau ʻe he kakai ʻae ngaahi ngoue ʻaki ʻae paʻanga, pea ʻe tohi ʻae ngaahi tohi fakamoʻoni, pea fakamaʻu ia, pea ʻe maʻu ʻae kau fakamoʻoni ʻi he fonua ʻo Penisimani, pea mo e ngaahi potu ofi ki Selūsalema, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻi he potu moʻunga, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻi he potu tokalelei, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻoe feituʻu tonga: he teu liliu ʻenau pōpula,” ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova.
