Jeremiah 3
1 They say, If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and become another man's, will he return to her again? Will not that land be greatly polluted? But thou have played the harlot with many lovers. Yet return again to me, says Jehovah.
KE olelo nei lakou, Iua kipaku ke kane i kana wahine, a hele aku oia, mai ona aku la, a lilo na ke kanaka e, e hoi hou anei kela ia ia? Aole anei e hoohaumia loa ia kela aina? Ua moe kolohe no nae oe me na ipo he nui loa: aka, e hoi hou mai oe ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
2 Lift up thine eyes to the bare heights, and see. Where have thou not been lain with? By the ways thou have sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness, and thou have polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
E alawa oe i kou mau maka iluna, a i na wahi kiekie. a e nana hoi i kahi i moe ole ia'i oe. Ma na alanui, ua noho kakali oe ia lakou, e like me ko Arabia ma ka waunahele; a ua hoohaumia oe i ka aina, i kou moe kolohe ana, a i kou haua hewa ana.
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain. Yet thou have a harlot's forehead; thou refused to be ashamed.
Noliala, ua kaohiia ka ua, aole hoi i hiki mai ka ua hope ana. Aia no ia oe ka maka o ka wahine hookamakama; hoole no oe, aole oe e hoopalaimaka.
4 Will thou not from this time cry to me, My Father, thou are the guide of my youth?
Mai keia manawa aku, aole anei oe e hea mai ia'u, E kuu makua, o oe no ke alakai o ko'u wa opiopio?
5 Will he retain his anger forever? Will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou have spoken, and have done evil things, and have had thy way.
E hoomauhala mau loa anei oia? E hoomauhala anei oia, a hiki i ka hopena? Aia hoi, ua olelo oe a ua hana hoi oe i na mea hewa me kou ikaika a pau.
6 Moreover Jehovah said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have thou seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the harlot.
Olelo mai no hoi o Iehova ia'u, i na la ia Iosia, i ke alii, Ua ike anei oe i ka mea a ka Iseraela hoihope i hana'i? Ua hele no oia maluna o na mauna kiekie a pau, a malalo o na laau uliuli a paa, a malaila i moe kolohe ai.
7 And I said after she had done all these things, She will return to me, but she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
A i aku la au, mahope o kana hana ana i keia mau mea a pau, E hali mai oe. ia'u. Aole ia i huli mai, Ike ae la kona kaikuaana kipi, o ka Iuda.
8 And I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not, but she also went and played the harlot.
A ike aku la au, a kipaku aku au i ka Iseraela no ka moe kolohe aua, a haawi ia ia i ka palapala hoohemo; alaila, aole i makau kona kaikuaana kipi, o ka Iuda, hele aku no hoi ia, a moe kolohe iho la.
9 And it came to pass through the frivolity of her whoredom, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
A no ka kaulana o kona moe kolohe ana, hoohaumia iho la oia i ka aina, a moe kolohe no me ka pohaku, a me ka laau.
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but in pretense, says Jehovah.
Aka, no keia mau mea a pau, aole i huli mai kona kaikuaana kipi ia'u me kona naau a pau, aka, me ka wahahee, wahi a Iehova.
11 And Jehovah said to me, Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
A olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u. Ua hoapono ka Iseraela hoihope ia ia iho, mamua o ka Iuda kipi.
12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, says Jehovah, I will not look in anger upon you, for I am merciful, says Jehovah. I will not keep anger forever.
O hele, e kala aku i keia mau olelo ma ke kukulu akau, a e i aku, E hoi mai, e ka Iseraela hoihope, wahi a Iehova; aole hoi au e hookau aku i ko'u ukiuki maluna o oukou; no ka mea, ua lokomaikai au, wahi a Iehova, aole hoi au e hoomauhala mau loa.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou have transgressed against Jehovah thy God, and have scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, says Jehovah.
E hai wale mai hoi oe i kou hewa, i kau hana hewa ana ia Iehova i kou Akua, a ua lulu aku oe i kou mau aoao i na malihini, malalo o na laau uliuli a pau, aole hoi oukou i hooloho i ko'u leo, wahi a Iehova.
14 Return, O backsliding sons, says Jehovah, for I am a husband to you. And I will take you, one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.
E huli mai, e na keiki hoihope, wahi a Iehova, no ka mea, ua mareia au nau: a e lawe no au ia oukou, i hookahi o ke kulanakauhale hookahi, a i elua o ka hale hookahi, a e lawe no au ia oukou i Ziona.
15 And I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
A e haawi no au ia oukou i poe kahu mamuli o'ko'u naau, nana e hanai ia oukou i ka ike, a me ka naauao.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, says Jehovah, they shall no more say, The ark of the covenant of Jehovah, nor shall it come to mind. Neither shall they remember it, nor shall they miss it. Neither shall it be made any more.
A hiki aku i ka manawa e nui ai oukou, a mahuahua ma ka aina, ia mau la, wahi a Iehova, aole lakou e olelo hou, O ka pahu o ka berita o Iehova; aole hoi e komo ia iloko o ka naau, aole lakou e hoomanao ia mea, aole lakou e hele e ike, aole hoi e hana hou ia ia mea.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem. Neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
Ia manawa, e kapa no lakou ia Ierusalema, o ka nohoalii o Iehova; a e hoakoakoaia mai ko na aina a pau imua ona, i ka inoa o Iehova i Ierusalema; aole hoi lakou e hele hou mamuli o ka paakiki o ka naau hewa.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance to your fathers.
Ia mau la, e hele pu no ko ka hale o ka Iuda, me ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, a e hele pu mai no lakou mai ka aina o ka akau mai, a i ka aina au i haawi aku ai i aina hooili no kou poe makua.
19 But I said, How I will put thee among the sons, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of the nations! And I said, Ye shall call me My Father, and shall not turn away from following me.
Aka, i iho la au, Pehea la au e waiho ai ia oe iwaena o na keiki, a haawi hoi ia oe i ka aina maikai i aina hooili nani o na pae aina? A olelo aku la au, E kapa mai oukou ia'u, o Ko'u Makua, aole hoi e huli mai o'u aku nei.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so ye have dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, says Jehovah.
Oiaio, e like me ka wahine haalele ino i kana kane, pela oukou i haalele ino mai ai ia'u, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, wahi a Iehova.
21 A voice is heard upon the bare heights, the weeping and the supplications of the sons of Israel, because they have perverted their way; they have forgotten Jehovah their God.
Ua loheia ka Ieo maluna o na wahi kiekie, o ka uwe ana, e me ka nonoi ana a na mamo a Iseraela; a ua hookekee lakou i ko lakou aoao, a ua hoopoina lakou ia Iehova i ko lakou Akua.
22 Return, ye backsliding sons, I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we have come to thee, for thou are Jehovah our God.
E hoi mai oukou, e na keiki hoihope, a e hoola no wau i ko oukou hoihope ana. Aia hoi, ke hele mai nei makou iou la, no ka mea, o oe no o Iehova, o ko makou Akua.
23 Truly it is in vain from the heights, the multitude on the mountains. Truly in Jehovah our God is the salvation of Israel.
He oiaio, he mea wahahee na mea o na mauna mai, a no na kuahiwi lehulehu mai: He oiaio, maloko o Iehova, o ko makou Akua, ke ola o ka Iseraela.
24 But the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
Na ka hilahila i hoopau i na hana a ko makou poe makua, mai ko makou wa uuku mai, i ko lakou hipa, a me ko lakou hipi, a me ka lakou keikikane, a me ka lakou kaikamahine.
25 Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us, for we have sinned against Jehovah our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and we have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God.
Ke moe nei makou ilalo iloko o ko makou hilahila, a ua uhiia makou i ko makou palaimaka; no ka mea, ua hana hewa aku makou ia Iehova i ko makou Akua, o makou, a me ko makou poe makua, mai ko makou wa opiopio, a hiki loa mai nei i keia la, aole hoi i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova, ko makou Akua.
