Jeremiah 23
1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!” declares the LORD.
A UWE ka poe kahu i luku, a hoopuehu i ka poe hipa o ko'u kihapai! wahi a Iehova.
2 Therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the shepherds who tend My people: “You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your deeds, declares the LORD.
Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, no na kahu, ka poe hanai i ko'u poe kanaka; Ua hoopuehu oukou i ka'u poe hipa, a ua kipaku ia lakou, aole i hele mai e ike ia lakou; aia hoi, e hoopai no wau maluna o oukou, i ka hewa o ka oukou hana ana, wahi a Iehova.
3 Then I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock from all the lands to which I have banished them, and I will return them to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and multiply.
A e hoiliili no wau i ke koena o ka'u poe hipa, mai na aina a pau mai, kahi a'u i hookuke aku ai ia lakou, a e hoihoi hou mai au ia lakou iloko o ko lakou mau pa: a e kawowo lakou, a mahuahua aku.
4 I will raise up shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or dismayed, nor will any go missing, declares the LORD.
A e hoonoho wau i kahu maluna o'lakou, he poe hanai aku ia lakou; aole lakou e makau hou, aole e weliweli, aole hoi lakou e hoopai hou ia, wahi a Iehova.
5 Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and He will reign wisely as King and will administer justice and righteousness in the land.
Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, o hoala no wau no Davida, i Oha pono, i Alii e noho aupuni, a e pomaikai auanei, a e hana no oia i ka hooponopono, a i ka pololei ma ka honua.
6 In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is His name by which He will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.
I kona mau la e hoolaia o ka Iuda, a e noho maluhia o ka Iseraela, a eia hoi kona inoa e kapaia mai ai, O IEHOVA KO KAKOU PONO.
7 So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’
Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, aole lakou e olelo hou mai, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai ka poe mamo a Iseraela, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai;
8 Instead they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought and led the descendants of the house of Israel up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.’ Then they will dwell once more in their own land.”
Aka, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai, alakai hoi i na hua o ka hale o ka Iseraela, mai ka aina o ko kukulu akau mai, a mai na aina a pau mai, kahi a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou; a e noho no lakou ma ko lakou aina iho.
9 As for the prophets: My heart is broken within me, and all my bones tremble. I have become like a drunkard, like a man overcome by wine, because of the LORD, because of His holy words.
Ua nahae ko'u naau iloko o'u no na kaula, haalulu no hoi ko'u mau iwi a pau. Ua like no au me ke kanaka i ona, a like hoi me ke kanaka i lanakilaia e ka waina, no Iehova, a no na huaolelo o kona Hemolele.
10 For the land is full of adulterers— because of the curse, the land mourns and the pastures of the wilderness have dried up— their course is evil and their power is misused.
No ka mea, ua piha ka aina i ka poe moekolohe; no ka mea, ke kumakena nei ka aina, no ka hoohiki ino aua: ua maloo hoi na wahi maikai o ka waonahele; ua hewa ko lakou holo ana, aole hoi i pono ko lakou ikaika.
11 “For both prophet and priest are ungodly; even in My house I have found their wickedness,”
No ka mea, ua aia no ke kaula, a me ke kahuna, oia, ua loaa no ia'u ko lakou hewa maloko o ko'u hale, wahi a Iehova.
12 “Therefore their path will become slick; they will be driven away into the darkness and fall into it. For I will bring disaster upon them in the year of their punishment,”
Nolaila, e like auanei ko lakou aoao ia lakou, me kahi pahee maloko o ka pouli; e kipakuia'ku la no lakou, a e haule iloko olaila; no ka mea, e lawe no wau i ka hewa maluna o lakou, i ka makahiki hoi o ko lakou hoopaiia, wahi a Iehova.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria I saw an offensive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led My people Israel astray.
Ua ike no au i ka lapuwale maloko o na kaula o Samaria, a wanana ae lakou ma o Baala la, a alakai hewa iho la i ko'u poe kanaka, i ka Iseraela.
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: They commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns his back on wickedness. They are all like Sodom to Me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”
Ua ike no hoi au i ka mea inoino loa iloko o na kaula o Ierusalema; moe kolohe no lakou, a hele ma ka wahahee. Hooikaika no hoi lakou i na lima o ka poe hana hewa, i hoi ole mai kekahi, mai kona hewa mai. Ua like no lakou a pau ia'u me ko Sodoma, a o ka poe hoi e noho ana malaila, ua like no me ko Gomora.
15 Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says concerning the prophets: “I will feed them wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has spread throughout the land.”
Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, no na kaula; Aia hoi, e hanai aku au ia lakou i ka laau awaawa, a e hoohainu aku au ia lakou i ka wai o ke au; no ka mea, mai na kaula o Ierusalema aku i hele aku ai ka aia, a i ka aina a pau.
16 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are filling you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, Mai hoolohe oukou i na olelo a na kaula, ka poe wanana mai ia oukou. Hoolilo no lakou ia oukou i mea lapuwale; hai mai no lakou i ka hihio o ko lakou naau iho, aole mai ka waha o Iehova mai.
17 They keep saying to those who despise Me, ‘The LORD says that you will have peace,’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, ‘No harm will come to you.’
Ke olelo ikaika mai nei lakou i ka poe hoowahawaha mai ia'u, Ua olelo mai o Iehova, E loaa ia oukou ka maluhia: a olelo no hoi lakou i kela mea i keia mea i hele mamuli o ka paakiki o kona naau iho, Aohe hewa e hiki mai ana maluna o oukou.
18 But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and obeyed it?
No ka mea, owai ka mea i ku ma ka ahaolelo o Iehova, a ike aku la, a lohe i kana olelo? Owai ka mea i haliu aku i kana olelo a lohe?
19 Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.
Aia hoi, he puahiohio no Iehova ka i puka mai me ka huhu, he puahiohio nui loa; e haule ino no ia maluna o ke poo o ka poe hewa.
20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this clearly.
Aole e hoi hou aku ka huhu o Iehova, a hooko oia, a hana io i ka manao o kona naau. I na la mahope, e hoomaopopo loa oukou ia mea.
21 I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied.
Aole au i hoouna aku i keia poe kaula, ua holo nae lakou; aole au i olelo ia lakou, aka, ua wanana ae lakou.
22 But if they had stood in My council, they would have proclaimed My words to My people and turned them back from their evil ways and deeds.”
Aka, ina i ku lakou maloko o ka'u ahaolelo; ina ua hana aku i ko'u poe kanaka e lohe i ka'u mau olelo, ina ua hoohuli hoi lakou i kela poo, mai ko lakou aoao hewa mai, a mai ka hewa mai hoi o ka lakou hana ana.
23 “Am I only a God nearby,” declares the LORD, “and not a God far away?”
He Akua kokoke nei au, wahi a Iehova, aole hoi he Akua ma kahi loihi aku?
24 “Can a man hide in secret places where I cannot see him?” declares the LORD. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the LORD.
E huna anei kekahi ia ia iho ma na wahi malu, i ike ole aku ai au ia ia, wahi a Iehova? Aole anei au i hoopiha i ka lani, a me ka honua? wahi a Iehova.
25 “I have heard the sayings of the prophets who prophesy lies in My name: ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
Ua lohe no wau i na mea a na kaula i olelo ai, ka poe i wanana wahahee ma ko'u inoa, me ka olelo iho, Ua moeuhane au, ua moeuhane au.
26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these prophets who prophesy falsehood, these prophets of the delusion of their own minds?
Pehea la ka loihi o ka noho ana o keia iloko o ka naau o na kaula, ka poe wanana wahahee? Oia, he poe kaula lakou no ka hoopunipuni o ko lakou naau iho;
27 They suppose the dreams that they tell one another will make My people forget My name, just as their fathers forgot My name through the worship of Baal.
He poe manao e haawi i ko'u poe kanaka i ka hoopoina i ko'u inoa, no ko lakou mau moeuhane, na mea a kela mea keia mea o lakou i hai ae i kona hoalauna, e like me ko lakou poe makua i hoopoina i ko'u inoa ma o Baala la.
28 Let the prophet who has a dream retell it, but let him who has My word speak it truthfully. For what is straw compared to grain?” declares the LORD.
O ke kaula moeuhane, e hai ae oia i ka moeuhane; a o ka mea ia ia ka'u olelo, e hai pololei oia i ka'u olelo. Heaha ke aa i ka palaoa, wahi a Iehova?
29 “Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?”
Aole anei i like ka'u olelo me ke ahi? wahi a Iehova; a like hoi me ka hamare, ka mea e nahaha ai ka pohaku?
30 “Therefore behold,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words they attribute to Me.”
Nolaila au e ku e nei i na kaula, wahi a Iehova, na mea aihue i ka'u mau olelo, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka kona hoalauna.
31 “Yes,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and proclaim, ‘The LORD declares it.’”
Aia hoi, ke ku e nei au i na kaula, wahi a Iehova, ka poe hana me ko lakou alelo, a olelo mai, Ke i mai nei oia.
32 “Indeed,” declares the LORD, “I am against those who prophesy false dreams and retell them to lead My people astray with their reckless lies. It was not I who sent them or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people,” declares the LORD.
Aia hoi, ke ku e nei au i ka poe wanana iho i na moeuhane wahahee, wahi a Iehova, a hai ae ia mau mea, a alakai hewa i ko'u poe kanaka, i ka lakou mau mea wahahee, a i ka lakou kaena ana: aole nae au i hoouna ia lakou, aole i kauoha aku ia lakou: nolaila, aole lakou e hoopomaikai iki i keia poe kanaka, wahi a Iehova.
33 “Now when this people or a prophet or priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the LORD?’ you are to say to them, ‘What burden? I will forsake you, declares the LORD.’
A hiki i ka manawa e ninau mai ai ia oe, o keia poe kanaka, a o ke kaula paha, a o ke kahuna paha, a olelo mai, Heaha ka wanana a Iehova? Alaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou, O ka wanana hea? E haalele no wau ia oukou, wahi a Iehova.
34 As for the prophet or priest or anyone who claims, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ I will punish that man and his household.
A o ke kaula, a o ke kahuna, a o ka lahuikanaka e olelo, Ka wanana a Iehova, na'u no e hoopai aku i kela kanaka, a me ko kona hale.
35 This is what each man is to say to his friend and to his brother: ‘What has the LORD answered?’ or ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
Penei oukou e olelo ai, o kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, o kela mea keia mea i kona hoahanau; Heaha ka Iehova i pane mai ai? a heaha hoi ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
36 But refer no more to the burden of the LORD, for each man’s word becomes the burden, so that you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of Hosts, our God.
A mai hai hou oukou i ka wanana a Iehova; no ka mea, o ka olelo a kela kanaka keia kanaka, oia kana wanana: no ka mea, ua hoololi oukou i na olelo a ke Akua ola, o Iehova o na kaua, o ko kakou Akua.
37 Thus you are to say to the prophet: ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
Penei oe o olelo aku ai i ke kaula, Heaha ka Iehova i pane mai ai ia oe? a heaha hoi ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
38 But if you claim, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ then this is what the LORD says: Because you have said, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ and I specifically told you not to make this claim,
Aka, no ka oukou olelo ana, Ka wanana a Iehova; nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova; No ka oukou olelo ana mai i keia olelo, Ka wanana a Iehova, a ua hoouna aku au ia oukou, me ka i iho, Mai olelo oukou, Ka wanana a Iehova;
39 therefore I will surely forget you and will cast you out of My presence, both you and the city that I gave to you and your fathers.
Nolaila, wau no, e hoopoina loa no wau ia oukou, a e haalele no wau ia oukou, a me ke kulanakauhale a'u i haawi aku ai ia oukou, a me ko oukou poe kupuna, a e lilo auanei oukou mai ko'u alo aku.
40 And I will bring upon you everlasting shame and perpetual humiliation that will never be forgotten.”
A e haawi no wau ia oukou, i mea hoowahawaha mau loa, a i hilahila pau ole, aole hoi e poinaia.
