< Jeremiah 10 >

1 Listen to the word that the Lord has spoken concerning you, O house of Israel.
E HOOLOHE mai oukou i ka olelo a Iehova e olelo mai nei ia oukou, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela.
2 Thus says the Lord: “Do not choose to learn according to the ways of the Gentiles. And do not be willing to dread the signs of heaven, which the Gentiles fear.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei. Mai ao oukou i ka aoao o ko na aina e; a mai makau hoi oukou i na ouli o ka lani; no ka mea, ua makau ko na aina e ia lakou.
3 For the laws of the people are empty. For the work of the hand of the craftsman has cut a tree from the forest with an axe.
No ka mea, o na aoao o na kanaka, he lapuwale ia; no ka mea, kua no kekahi i ka laau ma ka ulu laau me ke koi lipi, o ka hana hoi a ka paahana.
4 He has adorned it with silver and gold. He has put it together with nail and hammer, so that it will not fall apart.
A kahiko no lakou ia mea i ke kala a me ke gula; hoopaa no lakou ia mea i ke kui hao, a me na hamare, i kulaualana ole ia.
5 They have been fabricated in the likeness of a palm tree, and they will not speak. They must be carried to be moved, because they do not have the ability to walk. Therefore, do not be willing to fear them, for they can do neither evil nor good.”
Ku pono no lakou, e like me ka laau pama, aole nae i olelo; he oiaio no, ua kaikaiia lakou, no ka mea, aole hiki ia lakou ke hele. Mai makau ia lakou, no ka mea, aole hiki ia lakou ke hana mai; i ka hewa, aole hoi iloko o lakou ke hana i ka maikai.
6 O Lord, there is nothing similar to you. You are great, and your name is great in strength.
Aohe mea like me oe, e Iehova: ua nui oe, ua kaulana hoi kou inoa no ka maua.
7 Who will not fear you, O King of the nations? For honor is yours. Among all the wise of the nations, and within all their kingdoms, there is nothing similar to you.
Owai ka mea makau ole ia oe e ke Alii o na ainai? No ka mea, ku pono ia ia oe; no ka mea, iwaena o ka poe akamai a pau o na aina, a iloko hoi o ko lakou aupuni a pau, aohe mea like me oe.
8 Together, they will all be proven to be unwise and foolish. The doctrine of their vanity is made of wood.
Ua like io no lakou me na holoholona, ua lapuwale hoi; o ka naauuo o ka poe lapuwale, he pauku laau ia.
9 Rolled silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz. It is the work of a craftsman, and of the hand of a coppersmith. Hyacinth and purple is their clothing. All these things are the work of artists.
Ua laweia mai na papa kala, mai Taresisa mai. a o ke gula hoi, mai Upaza mai, ka hana a ka paahana, a ka lima hoi o ka mea hoohehee kala. He poni uliuli, a he poni ulaula ko lakou lole; o ka hana hoi a ka poe akamai oia mau mea a pau.
10 But the Lord is the true God. He is the living God and the everlasting King. Before his indignation, the earth will shake. And the Gentiles will not be able to withstand his threats.
Aka o Iehova no ke Akua oiaio, oia ke Akua ola, o ko alii mau loa hoi. E haalulu auanei ka honua i kona ukiuki, aole hoi e hiki i na lahuikanaka ke hoomanawanui i kona inaina.
11 “And so, you shall speak to them in this way: The gods that have not made heaven and earth, let them perish from the earth and from among those places which are under heaven.
Penei oukou e olelo ai ia lakou, O na'kua i hana ole i na lani, a me ka honua, e make auanei lakou, mai ka honua aku, a mailalo aku hoi o keia mau lani.
12 He made the earth by his power, he prepared the world in his wisdom, and he stretched out the heavens with his understanding.
Ua hana no oia i ka honua i kona mana, a ua hookumu hoi i ke ao nei i kona akamai, a ua hoopalahalaha ae i na lani i kona naauao.
13 At his voice, he grants a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he lifts up the clouds from the ends of the earth. He causes the lightning with the rain, and he leads forth the wind from his storehouses.
I ka pane ana o kona leo, ua nui loa na wai ma na lani, oia hoi ka inea i pii aku ai ka mahu, mai na kukulu aku o ka honua; naua no i hana na uwila, a me ka ua, a hoopuka mai oia i ka makani, mai kona waihona mai.
14 Every man has become a fool concerning knowledge; every artist has been confounded by his graven image. For what he has formed is false, and there is no spirit in these things.
Me he holoholona la kela kanaka, keia kanaka ma ka ike; hilahila hoi na mea hoohehee kala a pau no ke akuakii, no ka mea, he mea wahahee kona kii i hooheheeia, aohe hanu iloko o lakou.
15 These things are empty, and they are a work deserving of ridicule. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
He lapuwale lakou, he hana na ka wahahee; i ko lakou wa e hoopaiia mai ai, e make no lakou.
16 Jacob’s portion is not like their portion. For his portion is from the One who formed all things. And Israel is the staff of his inheritance. The Lord of hosts is his name.
Aole i like ka hooilina o Iakoba me lakou; no ka mea, nana no i hana na mea a pau; a o ka Iseraela hoi ke kookoo o koua hooilina; o Iehova o ua kaua kona inoa.
17 Gather your shame from the earth, you who are living under siege.”
E lawe nui i kou waiwai, mai ka aina aku, e ka mea noho ma ka pakaua.
18 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, in this turn, I will cast the inhabitants of the land far away. And I will afflict them no matter where they may be found.”
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Aia hoi, e maa aku no wau i ka poe noho ma ka aina, i ka maa hookahi ana, a e hoopilikia ia lakou, a pela o loaa ia lakou.
19 Woe to me, concerning my destruction! My wound is very grievous. And yet I said: Clearly, this infirmity is mine, and I will carry it.
Auwe au i kuu eha! ua nui loa ko'u hahauia, aka, i iho la au, He oiaio, he kaumaha keia, e hoomanawanui nae au ia.
20 My tent has been destroyed. All my cords have been broken. My sons have gone away from me; they did not remain. There is no one to stretch out my tent any more, nor to set up my curtains.
Ua wawahiia ko'u halelewa, a ua moku hoi ko'u mau kaula a pau. Ua hele aku ka'u mau keiki, mai o'u aku nei, a ua ole lakou: aohe mea i koe nana e hohola hou i ko'u halelewa, a e kukulu i ko'u mau paku.
21 For the pastors have acted foolishly, and they have not sought the Lord. Because of this, they have not understood, and all their flock has been dispersed.
Ua lilo na kahu i mea e like me na holoholona, aole hoi i imi ia Iehova; nolaila, aole lakou e pomaikai; a e hoopuehu liilii ia ka lakou poe hipa a pau.
22 Behold, the sound of a voice approaches, a great commotion from the land of the north: so that he may make the cities of Judah into a wilderness and into a dwelling place for serpents.
Aia hoi, ua hiki mai ka leo o ka lono, he haunaele nui, mai ka aina akau mai, i mea e lilo ai na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda i neoneo, i noho ana hoi no na ilio hihiu.
23 I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not his own. Neither is it given to man to walk and to direct his own steps.
E Iehova, ua ike no au, aole iloko o ke kanaka kona aoao iho; aole no ke kanaka hele ke alakai i kona mau kapuwai iho.
24 Correct me, O Lord, yet truly, do so with judgment, and not in your fury. Otherwise, you will reduce me to nothing.
E Iehova, e paipai mai oe ia u, ma ka pono nae, aole ma kou ukiuki, o hooki loa mai oe ia'u.
25 Pour out your indignation upon the nations that have not known you, and upon the provinces that have not invoked your name. For they have fed upon Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and they have utterly destroyed his honor.
E ninini oe i kou ukiuki maluna o ko na aina e, ka poe ike ole ia oe, a maiuna o na ohana i hea ole i kou inoa; no ka mea, ua ai lakou ia Iakoba, a ua hoopau ia ia, a oki loa, a ua hooneoneo i kona wahi i noho ai.
