Jeremiah 15
1 And the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my soul would not be toward this people. Cast them away from my face, and let them depart!
A LAILA, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ina i ku mai o Mose, a me Samuela imua o'u, aole no e kau ko'u manao ma keia poe kanaka. E kiola ia lakou mai ko'u alo aku, a e puka aku lakou iwaho.
2 And if they say to you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord: Those who go to death, shall go to death. And those who go to the sword, shall go to the sword, and those go to famine, shall go to famine, and those who go to captivity, shall go to captivity.
A ina e olelo mai lakou ia oe, Mahea makou e puka aku ai? Alaila, e olelo oe ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, O ka poe no ka make, i ka make no; a o ka poe no ka pahikaua, i ka pahikaua no; a o ka poe no ka wi, i ka wi no; a o ka poe no ka lawepioia, i ka lawepioia no.
3 And I will visit against them in four ways, says the Lord: by the sword, to kill; and by dogs, to tear apart; and by the birds of the air and by the beasts of the earth, to devour and to scatter.
A e hookau aku au maluna o lakou i na mea eha, wahi a Iehova; o ka pahikaua e pepehi; o na ilio e haehae; o na manu o ka lani, a me na holoholona o ka honua, e ai, a e hoopau.
4 And I will give them over to the fervor of all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, because of all that he did in Jerusalem.
A e haawi no wau e laweia lakou i na aina a pau o ka honua nei, no Manase, ke keiki a Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, no ka mea ana i hana'i ma Ierusalema.
5 For who will take pity on you, O Jerusalem? Or who will feel sorrow for you? Or who will go to prayer for the sake of your peace?
No ka mea, owai ka mea aloha aku ia oe, e Ierusalema? Owai ka mea kumakena ia oe? Owai auanei ka mea e huli ae, e ninau i kou noho ana?
6 You have abandoned me, says the Lord. You have gone backwards. And so, I will extend my hand over you, and I will destroy you. I have labored to plead with you.
Ua haalele mai oe ia'u, wahi a Iehova, ua hoi hope oe. Nolaila, e kikoo ku e aku au i ko'u lima ia oe, a e luku ia oe; no ka mea, ua uluhua wau i ka mihi ana.
7 And I will scatter them with a winnowing fan at the gates of the land. I have killed and dispersed my people, and yet they have not turned back from their ways.
E hoolulu aku au ia lakou i ka peahi lulu ma na pukapa o ka aina; e hoonele au ia lakou i na keiki, e luku aku no au i ko'u poe kanaka; aole lakou i huli, mai ko lakou aoao mai.
8 Their widows have been multiplied by me, more so than the sand of the sea. I have led them against the mother of a youth like an attacker at midday. I have sent a terror suddenly against the cities.
E oi aku ka nui o ko lakou wahinekanemake ia'u i ko ke one o ke kai. I ke awakea, e hoopuka no au maluna o lakou, maluna hoi o ka makuwahine o ka poe ui, i poe luku. E hoopuka no au maluna ona me ka hoohikilele ka makau a me ka weliweli.
9 She who gave birth to seven has become weak. Her life has faded away. Her sun has set while it was still daytime. She has been confounded and shamed. And the remainder of them I will give over to the sword in the sight of their enemies, says the Lord.”
Mae wale aku ka mea i hanau i na mea ehiku, e kaili ana ke ea. Ua napoo kona la i ke ao okoa; ua hilahila oia, ua hoopalaimaka hoi. A e haawi no wau i ke koena o lakou i ka pahikaua imua o ko lakou poe enemi, wahi a Iehova.
10 “O my mother, woe to me! Why did you conceive me, a man of strife, a man of discord to all the earth? I have not lent money at interest, nor has anyone lent money at interest to me. Yet everyone is cursing me.”
Auwe hoi au, e kuu makuwahine, no ka mea, ua hanau mai oe ia'u, he kanaka hakaka, he kanaka paio no ko ka honua a pau! Aole au i hoolimalima kala ma ke kuala, aole hoi i aie kala ma ke kuala; aka, ke hailiili mai nei kela mea keia mea o lakou ia'u.
11 The Lord says: “Certainly, it will be well with your remnant. Certainly, I will run to meet you, in the time of affliction and in the time of tribulation, against the enemy.
I mai la o Iehova, He oiaio, e pomaikai ana kou poe i koe; oiaio, na'u no e mea aku, a e hana maikai ae ka enemi ia oe i ka manawa poino, a i ka manawa popilikia.
12 But how can iron be joined with the iron from the north or with brass?
Na ka hao anei e uhaki i ka hao o ke kukulu akau, a me ke keleawe?
13 Your riches and your treasures I will give over to be freely despoiled, because of all your sins, even throughout all your borders.
A e haawi no wau i kou waiwai, a me kou ukana, no ka hoopio me ka uku ole ia mai, a oia hoi no kou hewa a pau, a aia no ia ma kou mau mokuna a pau.
14 And I will lead in your enemies from a land that you do not know. For a fire has been kindled in my fury; it will burn upon you.”
A na'u no e hoohele ia oe, me kou poe enemi a iloko o ka aina au i ike ole ai; no ka mea, ua hoaia ke ahi i kuu inaina, a e a no ia maluna o oukou.
15 “You know me, O Lord. Remember me, and visit me, and watch over me, because of those who persecute me. In your patience, do not choose to let me endure. You know I have suffered reproach because of you.
E Iehova, ua ike no oe: e hoomanao mai oe ia'u, a e ike mai hoi ia'u, a e hooponopono mai oe ia'u i ka poe hoomaau mai ia'u. Mai lawe aku oe ia'u, i kou ahonui ana. E ike oe, nou no wau i kaikai ai i ka hilahila.
16 I discovered your words and I consumed them. And your word became to me as the gladness and joy of my heart. For your name has been invoked over me, O Lord, the God of hosts.
Ua loaa no kau mau olelo, a ai no wau ia mau mea; a lilo kau olelo ia'u i mea olioli, a i mea hoi e hauoli ai ko'u naau: no ka mea, ua kapaia wau ma kou inoa, E Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua.
17 I did not sit in the company of mockers, nor did I glorify myself before the presence of your hand. I sat alone, because you filled me with threats.
Aole au i noho ma ka aha o ka poe hoowahawaha, aole hoi au i olioli; noho kaawale au, no kou lima; no ka mea, ua hoopiha mai oe ia'u i ka ukiukiia.
18 Why has my sorrow become never-ending, and why has my wound become so dire that it refuses to be cured? It has become for me like the deception of untrustworthy waters.”
No ke aha la i mau ai ko'u eha, a ola ole hoi ko'u hahauia, a hoole hoi i ka hoolaia? E lilo anei oe ia'u e like loa me na wai hoopunipuni, mau ole?
19 Because of this, thus says the Lord: “If you will be converted, I will convert you. And you will stand before my face. And you will separate what is precious from what is vile. You will be my mouthpiece. They will be converted to you, but you will not be converted to them.
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Ina hoi mai oe, alaila, e hoihoi mai no wau ia oe, a e ku no oe imua o'u: a ina e lawe aku oe i ka mea pono, mai ka mea hewa aku, alaila, e like auanei no oe me ko'u waha. E hoi mai lakou ia oe, aka, mai hoi aku oe ia lakou.
20 And I will present you to this people as a strong wall of brass. And they will fight against you, and they will not prevail. For I am with you, so as to save you and to rescue you, says the Lord.
A e hoolilo wau ia oe i pa keleawe paa loa no keia poe kanaka; a e kaua mai no lakou ia oe, aka, aole lakou e lanakila mai maluna ou; no ka mea, owau pu no me oe, e hoola ia oe, a e hoopakele ia oe, wahi a Iehova.
21 And I will free you from hand of those who are most wicked, and I will redeem you from the hand of the powerful.”
A e hoopakele aku au ia oe, mai ka lima aku o ka poe hewa, a e hoolapanai aku au ia oe, mai loko aku o ka lima o ka poe hooweliweli.
