< Jeremiah 8 >

1 At that time, says Jehovah, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his rulers, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
I KELA manawa, wahi a Iehova, e lawe mai no lakou i na iwi o na'lii o ka Iuda, a me na iwi o na luna, a me na iwi o na kahuna, a me na iwi o na kaula, a me na iwi o ka poe i noho ma Ierusalema, mawaho o ko lakou mau halelua;
2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They shall not be gathered, nor be buried. They shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
A e kaulai no hoi lakou ia mau mea i ka la, a i ka mahina, a i na hoku a pau o ka lani, i na mea a lakou i makemake ai, a i hookauwa ai hoi na lakou, a i hahai mamuli o lakou, a i imi ia lakou, a i hoomana ia lakou; aole e hoiliiliia ia mau iwi, aole hoi e kanu hou ia; e lilo lakou i mea kipulu maluna o ka honua.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Jehovah of hosts.
A e kohoia ka make, aole o ke ola, e na kanaka i koe, o keia poe i hookoeia o keia hanauna hewa, o ka poe i koe ma na wahi a pau a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
4 Moreover thou shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall he turn away, and not return?
A e olelo aku no hoi oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, E hina anei lakou a ala ole mai? E huli aku anei ia, a hoi ole mai?
5 Why then has this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold firm deceit. They refuse to return.
Heaha ka mea e hoihope ai keia poe kanaka o Ierusalema me ka hoihope mau loa? Hoopaa loa lakou i ka wahahee; hoole lakou, aole e hoi mai.
6 I hearkened and heard, but they did not speak aright. No man repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Everyone turns to his course as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
Hoolohe aku la au, a lohe, aole lakou i olelo pololei: aohe kanaka i mihi i kona hewa, me ka olelo iho, Heaha ka'u i hana'i? Huli no kela mea keia mea i kona aoao, e like me ka lio i holo ino iloko o ke kaua.
7 Yea, the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times, and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming, but my people know not the law of Jehovah.
Oia, ua ike no ke setoreka ma ka lani i ka manawa pono: a malama no hoi ke kuhukuku, a me ka manu u, a me ka manuioio i ko lakou wa e hele mai ai: aka, o ko'u poe kanaka, aole ike lakou i ka hoopono o Iehova.
8 How can ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? But behold, the false pen of the scribes has wrought falsely.
Pehea la oukou e olelo ai, Ua akamai makou, a eia ia makou ke kanawai o Iehova? Aia hoi, ua hoololi ka peni hoopunipuni a ka poe kakauolelo ia mea i wahahee.
9 The wise men are put to shame. They are dismayed and taken. Lo, they have rejected the word of Jehovah, and what manner of wisdom is in them?
E hilahila auanei ka poe akamai, e makau, a e pio. Aia hoi, ua hoole lakou i ka olelo a Iehova: heaha hoi ke akamai iloko o lakou?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness. From the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
Nolaila, e haawi aku au i ka lakou poe wahine na hai, a me ko lakou mahinaai no ka poe hou e noho iho ai; no ka mea, ua makee waiwai kela mea, keia mea o lakou, mai ka mea uuku o lakou a i ka mea nui; a mai ke kaula a i ke kahuna, hana no kela mea keia mea ma ka wahahee.
11 And they have lightly healed the hurt of the daughter of my people, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
Ua hoola hapa lakou i ka eha o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, me ka olelo iho, He malu, he malu: aole hoi he malu.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, nor could they blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall. In the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says Jehovah.
Ua hilahila anei lakou i ka lakou hana ana i ka mea e hoopailua'i? Ole, aole lakou i hilahila iki, aole hoi i ike i ka hoopalaimaka; nolaila lakou e haule ai iwaena o ka poe haule; a ia lakou e hoopaiia'i, alaila lakou e kulaina'i, wahi a Iehova.
13 I will utterly consume them, says Jehovah. There shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade, and things I have given them shall pass away from them.
Oiaio, e hoopau no au ia lakou, wahi a Iehova; aole e loaa na hua ma ko lakou kumuwaina, aole hoi he fiku ma ka laau fiku, a e mae wale ka lau; a e lilo ia mau mea na ka poe hele mai maluna o lakou.
14 Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there. For Jehovah our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah.
No ke aha la kakou e noho malie ai? E hoakoakoa oukou, a e komo iloko o na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, a malaila kakou e noho ekemu ole ai; no ka mea, e luku mai o Iehova ia kakou, a e hoohainu mai ia kakou i ka wai o ke au, no ka mea, ua hana hewa kakou ia Iehova.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came, for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!
Kakali kakou i ka malu; aohe pono: a i ka manawa o ke ola, aia hoi, he popilikia!
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan. At the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles. For they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.
Ua loheia ka hau ana o na lio mai Dana mai; haalulu ka aina a pau no ka uhuuhu ana o ka poe ikaika: no ka mea, ua hiki mai lakou, a ua hoopau lakou i ka aina, a me na mea a pau maloko olaila, i ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe noho maloko olaila.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says Jehovah.
No ka mea, aia hoi, e hoouna aku no au i na nahesa, a me na moo pepeiaohao iwaena o oukou, aole hoi lakou e hoowalewaleia, a e nahu mai no lakou ia oukou, wahi a Iehova.
18 Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
I maha no kuu kaumaha, ua maule no ko'u naau iloko o'u.
19 Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: Is not Jehovah in Zion? Is not her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?
Aia hoi, ka leo o ka uwe ana o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, ma ka aina mamao mai; Aole anei o Iehova ma Ziona? Aole anei kona alii iloko ona? No ke aha la lakou i hoonaukiuki mai nei ia'u i ko lakou kii kalaiia, a me na mea lapuwale no kahi e mai?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
Ua hala ka hoiliili ai ana, ua pau no ke kau, aole hoi kakou i hoolaia.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt. I mourn. Dismay has taken hold on me.
Ua eha au no ka eha ana o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka; ua eleele au, ua loohia au i ka pilihua.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Aole anei he nini ma Gileada? aole anei he kahuna lapaau malaila? No ke aha la i loaa ole ai ke ola no ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka?
