< Jeremiah 50 >
1 The word that Jehovah spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
KA olelo a Iehova i olelo ai no Babulona, a no ka aina o ko Kaledea, ma o Ieremia la, ke kaula.
2 Declare ye among the nations and publish, and set up a standard, publish, and conceal not. Say, Babylon is taken. Bel is put to shame. Merodach is dismayed. Her images are put to shame; her idols are dismayed.
E hai aku oukou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, A kala aku hoi, e kau i ka hae; E kala aku, mai huna, e i aku hoi, Ua hoopioia o Babulona, ua hoohilahilaia o Bela, Ua uhaiia o Merodaka, ua hoohilahilaia kona mau akua wahahee, Ua ubaiia kona mau kii.
3 For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein. They are fled. They are gone, both man and beast.
No ka mea, ke pii mai nei ka lahuikanaka, mai ka akau mai, e ku e ia ia, Nana no e hoolilo i ka aina i wahi alaneo, Aole noho kekahi mea malaila; Mai ke kanaka a i ka holoholona, e neenee, a e hele aku no.
4 In those days, and in that time, says Jehovah, the sons of Israel shall come, they and the sons of Judah together. They shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek Jehovah their God.
Ia mau la, a i kela manawa, wahi a Iehova, E hele mai no na mamo a Iseraela, O lakou a me na mamo a Iuda pu, E hele no lakou, a e uwe iho i ko lakou hele ana; A e imi ia Iehova i ko lakou Akua.
5 They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces toward it, saying, Come ye, and join yourselves to Jehovah in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.
E ninau no lakou i ke ala e hiki aku ai i Ziona, Me na maka o lakou e huli ana ilaila, i ka i ana iho, Ea, e hoopili kakou ia kakou iho ia Iehova Ma ka berita mau loa nalowale ole i ka poina.
6 My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have caused them to go astray. They have turned them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting-place.
O ko'u poe kanaka, he poe hipa nalowale lakou; Na ko lakou mau kahu i alakai hewa ia lakou, Ua kuu wale aku na kahu ia lakou ma na mauna; Ua hele lakou, mai kekahi puu, a i kekahi puu, Ua poina ia lakou ko lakou wahi e hoomaha'i.
7 All who found them have devoured them, and their adversaries said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousness, even Jehovah, the hope of their fathers.
O na mea a pau i halawai me lakou, Ua ai no ia poe ia lakou; Olelo ae la ko lakou poe enemi, Aole makou e hewa, No ka mea, ua lawe hala lakou ia Iehova, I kahi i noho ai o ka hoopono, Ia Iehova hoi, i ka Mea i lana ai ka manao o ko lakou poe makua.
8 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks.
E puka aku oukou mai waena aku o Babulona, A e hele aku hoi mawaho o ka aina o ko Kaledea, E like hoi oukou me na kao kane imua o ka poe kao.
9 For, lo, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country, and they shall set themselves in array against her. From there she shall be taken. Their arrows shall be as of an expert mighty man; none shall return in vain.
No ka mea, aia hoi, e hoala no wau, a e alakai ku e ia Babulona I na lahuikanaka nui, mai ka aina ma ka akau mai; A e hoonohonoho lakou ia lakou iho e kaua ia ia, Alaila, e lawe pio ia oia; E like auanei ko lakou mau pua me ko ke kanaka ikaika, Aole e hoihoi nele a make hewa ia mai.
10 And Chaldea shall be a prey. All who prey upon her shall be satisfied, says Jehovah.
A e lilo o Kaledea i waiwai pio: E ana auanei ka poe lawe pio i kana, wahi a Iehova.
11 Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye who plunder my heritage, because ye are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses,
No ka mea, lealea no oukou, no ka mea hoi, hauoli oukou, E ka poe hao wale i ko'u hooilina; No ka mea, ua lelele olioli oukou, me he bipi wahine ai i ka mauu, A ua uhuuhu oukou e like me na lio kane.
12 your mother shall be utterly put to shame. She who bore you shall be confounded. Behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
E hoohilahilaia auanei kou makuwahine; E hoopalaimaka ka mea nana oe i hanau: Aia hoi, e lilo no ka welelau o na aina i waonahele, I aina maloo hoi, a i auakua.
13 Because of the wrath of Jehovah she shall not be inhabited, but she shall be wholly desolate. Everyone who goes by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
No ka huhu o Iehova, aole ia e nohoia, Aka, e alaneo loa auanei oia; E kahaha ka naau o ka poe a pau e maalo ae i Babulona, E hoowahawaha lakou no kona mau ino a pau.
14 Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye who bend the bow. Shoot at her; spare no arrows. For she has sinned against Jehovah.
E hoonohonoho oukou ia oukou iho e kaua ia Babulona a puni: E ka poe a pau, e lena i ke kakaka, E pana aku ia ia, mai aua i na pua; No ka mea, ua lawehala oia ia Iehova.
15 Shout against her round about. She has submitted herself. Her bulwarks are fallen. Her walls are thrown down. For it is the vengeance of Jehovah. Take vengeance upon her. As she has done, do to her.
E hooho ku e ia ia a puni, ua haawi oia i ka lima; Ua hiolo kona mau kia, ua wawahiia kona mau pa; No ka mea, o ka ukiuki no ia o Iehova: E hoopai oukou ia ia, Me kana i hana'i, pela oukou e hana aku ai ia ia.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest. For fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn each one to his people, and they shall flee each one to his own land.
E hooki aku i ka mea luluhua, mai Babulona aku, A me ka mea lawelawe i ka pahi oki palaoa i ka manawa hoiliili ai. E huli no ke kanaka i kona poe iho, mai ka maka aku o ka pahikaua luku, A e holo no ke kanaka i kona aina iho.
17 Israel is a hunted sheep, the lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him, and now at last Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.
He poe hipa puehu o ka Iseraela, Ua kipaku na liona ia ia; O ke alii o Asuria ka i ai mua ia ia; A mahope na keia Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona i uhai i kona mau iwi.
18 Therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; Aia hoi, e hoopai no wau i ke alii o Babulona, a me kona aina, Me ka'u i hoopai ai i ke alii o Asuria.
19 And I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
A e lawe hou mai no wau i ka Iseraela i kona wahi e noho ai, A e ai no ia maluna o Karemela, a me Basana, A e aua no kona naau maluna o ka mauna o Eperaima, a me Gileada.
20 In those days, and in that time, says Jehovah, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none, and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found. For I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant.
A ia mau la, a i kela manawa, wahi a Iehova, E imi wale ia ka hewa o ka Iseraela, aohe hewa, A me na hala o ka Iuda, aole ia e loaa; No ka mea, e kala aku au i ko ka poe a'u e hookoe ai.
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod. Kill and utterly destroy after them, says Jehovah, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
E pii aku oe e ku e i ka aina o Merataima; E ku e ia wahi, a e ku e i ka poe e noho la ma Pekoda; E luku aku, a e hooki loa iho mahope o lakou, wahi a Iehova, E hana hoi e like me na mea a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe.
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
He walaau no ke kaua ma ka aina, a he luku nui hoi.
23 How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
Nani ka wawahiia a nahaha o ka hamare o ka honua a pau! Nani hoi ka lilo ana o Babulona i wahi alaneo iwaena o na aina!
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou are also taken, O Babylon, and thou were not aware. Thou are found, and also caught, because thou have striven against Jehovah.
Ua hoopahele au ia oe, a ua paa hoi oe, E Babulona, a ike ole nae oe: Ua loaa no oe, a ua paa hoi, No ka mea, ua hooikaika oe ma ke ku e ia Iehova.
25 Jehovah has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation, for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, has a work in the land of the Chaldeans.
Ua wehe o Iehova i kona waihona mea kaua, A ua lawe mai iwaho i na mea kaua o kona ukiuki; No ka mea, o ka hana no keia a ka Haku, a Iehova o na kaua, ma ka aina o ko Kaledea.
26 Come against her from the utmost border. Open her store-houses. Cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left.
E hele ku e mai oukou ia ia, mai kela kihi mai, E wehe i kona mau halepapa; E hoouka ae ia ia e like me na puu, E anai loa aku ia ia, mai hookoe i kekahi mea.
27 Kill all her bullocks. Let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their visitation.
E luku aku i kona mau bipi a pau, E kuu ia lakou e iho ilalo i ka lukuia: Auwe hoi lakou! no ka mea, ua hiki mai ko lakou la, Ka manawa hoi o ko lakou hoopaiia.
28 The voice of those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, the vengeance of his temple.
Ka leo o ka poe holo a pakeie mawaho o ka aina o Babulona, E hai aku ma Ziona i ka hoopai ana o Iehova, o ko kakou Akua, I ka hoopai ana no kona luakini.
29 Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp against her round about; let none thereof escape. Recompense her according to her work. According to all that she has done, do to her. For she has been proud against Jehovah, against the Holy One of Israel.
E kena i ka poe pana e ku e ia Babulona; E ka poe a pau e lena ai ke kakaka, E hoomoana ku e ia ia a puni, Mai hoopakele i kekahi mea olaila; E uku aku ia ia e like me kana hana ana; E like me na mea a pau ana i hana'i, Pela e hana aku ai ia ia: No ka mea, ua hookiekie oia e ku e ia Iehova, E ku e hoi i ka Mea hemolele o ka Iseraela.
30 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all her men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, says Jehovah.
Nolaila, e haule ai kona poe kanaka opiopio ma na alanui, A i kela la, e anaiia kona poe kanaka kaua a pau, Wahi a Iehova.
31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou proud one, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, for thy day has come, the time that I will visit thee.
Aia hoi, Owau no ka i ku e ia oe, e ka mea hookiekie loa, Wahi a ka Haku, Iehova o na kaua: No ka mea, ua hiki mai kou la, O ka manawa hoi a'u e hoopai aku ai ia oe.
32 And the proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all who are round about him.
E okupe no ka poe hookiekie loa, a e hina hoi, Aohe mea nana e hoala ia ia: E hoaa no wau i ke ahi ma kona mau kulanakauhale, A e hoopau no ia i na mea a pau a puni ona.
33 Thus says Jehovah of hosts: The sons of Israel and the sons of Judah are oppressed together, and all who took them captive hold them firm; they refuse to let them go.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei; Ua hookaumaha pu ia na mamo a Iseraela, a me na mamo a Iuda; O ka poe a pau i lawe pio ia lakou, Hoopaa loa no ia poe ia lakou; Hoole hoi lakou, aole e hookuu i ko'u poe kanaka,
34 Their Redeemer is strong. Jehovah of hosts is his name. He will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
Ua ikaika no ko lakou Kalahaia, o Iehova o na kaua kona inoa; Ia lakou e hoopiiia nana lakou e hooponopono io, I mea e hoomaha'i oia i ka aina, A e hoopihoihoi ai i ka poe e noho la ma Babulona.
35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, says Jehovah, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her rulers, and upon her wise men.
He pahikaua no, aia maluna o ko Kaledea, wahi a Iehova, A maluna hoi o ka poe e noho la ma Babulona, A maluna o kona poe alii, a maluna o kona poe akamai.
36 A sword is upon the boasters, and they shall become fools. A sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.
He pahikaua, aia maluna o ka poe wahahee, A e lapuwale auanei lakou: He pahikaua, aia maluna o kona poe kanaka ikaika, A e makau auanei lakou.
37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mixed people who are in the midst of her, and they shall become as women. A sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed.
He pahikaua, aia maluna o na lio o lakou, A maluna hoi o ko lakou mau kaakaua, A maluna o na malihini mawaenakonu ona; A e like auanei lakou me na wahine. He pahikaua, aia maluna o ko lakou waihona waiwai, A e haoia lakou.
38 A drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up. For it is a land of graven images, and they are mad over idols.
Ua pio no kona wai, a e maloo loa auanei ia: No ka mea, he aina kii kalaiia no ia, A ua pupule lakou mamuli o ko lakou akua wahahee.
39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell therein. And it shall no more be inhabited forever, nor shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
No ia mea, e noho no na holoholona hihiu o ka waonahele malaila, A me na holoholona hihiu o na mokupuni, A e noho hoi na pueo maloko olaila; E kanaka ole auanei ia aina, a i ka manawa pau ole; E noho ole ia hoi ia, a ia hanauna aku, ia hanauna aku.
40 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says Jehovah, so shall no man dwell there, nor shall any son of man sojourn in it.
Me ka ke Akua i hoohiolo ai ia Sodoma a me Gomora, A me kona mau wahi e kokoke mai ana, wahi a Iehova; Pela no, aole e noho kekahi kanaka malaila, Aole e hoomoana ke keiki a ke kanaka maloko o ia wahi.
41 Behold, a people comes from the north, and a great nation and many kings shall be stirred up from the outermost parts of the earth.
Aia hoi, o hele mai no kekahi lahuikanaka mai ke kukulu akau mai, A o hoalaia ka lahuikanaka nui, a me na'lii he lehulehu, Mai na mokuna mai o ka honua.
42 They lay hold on bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses, each one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
E paa no ia lakou ke kakaka a me ka ihe; Ua lokoino lakou, aole lakou e lokomaikai mai; E halulu no ko lakou leo, e like me ke kai, E holo no lakou maluna o na lio i hoonohonohoia, E like me kanaka no ke kaua, E ku e ia oe, e ke kaikamahine o Babulona.
43 The king of Babylon has heard the news of them, and his hands grow feeble. Anguish has taken hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
Ua lohe ke alii o Babulona i ka lono no lakou, A ua nawaliwali kona mau lima: Loohia no oia i ka pilikia, a me ka nahu kuakoko, Me ko ka wahine hanau keiki la.
44 Behold, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation. For I will suddenly make them run away from it, and he who is chosen, him I will appoint over it. For who is like me, and who will appoint a time for me, and who is the shepherd who can stand before me?
Aia hoi, e pii mai no ia e like me ka liona mai ka nani o Ioredane mai, A iloko o kahi noho o ka mea ikaika: Aka, i ka amo ana o ka maka, e holo aku no lakou mai laila aku, Owai ka mea i waeia, e hoonoho wau ia ia maluna ona? Owai ka mea like me au nei? Owai hoi ka mea e halawai me au? A owai ke kahuhipa e hiki ia ia ke ku imua o'u?
45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he has taken against Babylon, and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock. Surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.
No ia mea, e hoolohe oukou i ka manao o Iehova, Ana i manao ai ia Babulona; A me kona noonoo ana i noonoo ai i ka aina o ko Kaledea: Oiaio no, e uhuki oia ia lakou me na mea liilii o ka ohana, Oiaio no, e hooneoneo no oia i ko lakou wahi noho a puni lakou.
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembles, and the cry is heard among the nations.
Naueue no ka honua i ka halulu no ke pio ana o Babulona, Ua lohea kona uwe ana ma na aina e.
