Jeremiah 3
1 “It is commonly said: ‘If a man has divorced his wife, and she departs from him, she will marry another man.’ So why would he return to her again? Is not that woman polluted and defiled? But you have fornicated yourself with many lovers. Even so, return to me, says the Lord, and I will accept you.
KE olelo nei lakou, Iua kipaku ke kane i kana wahine, a hele aku oia, mai ona aku la, a lilo na ke kanaka e, e hoi hou anei kela ia ia? Aole anei e hoohaumia loa ia kela aina? Ua moe kolohe no nae oe me na ipo he nui loa: aka, e hoi hou mai oe ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
2 Lift your eyes straight up, and see where you did not debase yourself. You were sitting in the roadways, waiting for them, like a robber in the wilderness. And you have polluted the land by your fornications and by your wickedness.
E alawa oe i kou mau maka iluna, a i na wahi kiekie. a e nana hoi i kahi i moe ole ia'i oe. Ma na alanui, ua noho kakali oe ia lakou, e like me ko Arabia ma ka waunahele; a ua hoohaumia oe i ka aina, i kou moe kolohe ana, a i kou haua hewa ana.
3 For this reason, the rain showers were withheld, and there were no late season rains. You made your face like that of a promiscuous woman; you were not willing to blush.
Noliala, ua kaohiia ka ua, aole hoi i hiki mai ka ua hope ana. Aia no ia oe ka maka o ka wahine hookamakama; hoole no oe, aole oe e hoopalaimaka.
4 Therefore, at least from this moment on, call out to me: ‘You are my father, the guide of my virginity.’
Mai keia manawa aku, aole anei oe e hea mai ia'u, E kuu makua, o oe no ke alakai o ko'u wa opiopio?
5 Why should you be angry unceasingly? And will you continue in this to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done evil, for you were able to do so.”
E hoomauhala mau loa anei oia? E hoomauhala anei oia, a hiki i ka hopena? Aia hoi, ua olelo oe a ua hana hoi oe i na mea hewa me kou ikaika a pau.
6 And, in the days of king Josiah, the Lord said to me: “Have you not seen what the apostate Israel has done? She has brought herself up to every lofty mountain, and she has lain down under every leafy tree, and she has committed fornication there.
Olelo mai no hoi o Iehova ia'u, i na la ia Iosia, i ke alii, Ua ike anei oe i ka mea a ka Iseraela hoihope i hana'i? Ua hele no oia maluna o na mauna kiekie a pau, a malalo o na laau uliuli a paa, a malaila i moe kolohe ai.
7 And when she had done all these things, I said: ‘Return to me.’ But she did not return. And her deceitful sister Judah saw this:
A i aku la au, mahope o kana hana ana i keia mau mea a pau, E hali mai oe. ia'u. Aole ia i huli mai, Ike ae la kona kaikuaana kipi, o ka Iuda.
8 that because the apostate Israel had committed adultery, I had dismissed her and had given her a bill of divorce. Yet her deceitful sister Judah was not afraid. But she, too, went and committed fornication herself.
A ike aku la au, a kipaku aku au i ka Iseraela no ka moe kolohe aua, a haawi ia ia i ka palapala hoohemo; alaila, aole i makau kona kaikuaana kipi, o ka Iuda, hele aku no hoi ia, a moe kolohe iho la.
9 And by the act of her fornication, she defiled the land. For she committed adultery with that which is stone and wood.
A no ka kaulana o kona moe kolohe ana, hoohaumia iho la oia i ka aina, a moe kolohe no me ka pohaku, a me ka laau.
10 And after all these things, her deceitful sister Judah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but with lies, says the Lord.”
Aka, no keia mau mea a pau, aole i huli mai kona kaikuaana kipi ia'u me kona naau a pau, aka, me ka wahahee, wahi a Iehova.
11 And the Lord said to me: “The apostate Israel has justified her own soul by comparing herself to the deceitful Judah.
A olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u. Ua hoapono ka Iseraela hoihope ia ia iho, mamua o ka Iuda kipi.
12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and you shall say: Return, O apostate Israel, says the Lord. For I will not avert my face from you. For I am holy, says the Lord, and I will not be angry forever.
O hele, e kala aku i keia mau olelo ma ke kukulu akau, a e i aku, E hoi mai, e ka Iseraela hoihope, wahi a Iehova; aole hoi au e hookau aku i ko'u ukiuki maluna o oukou; no ka mea, ua lokomaikai au, wahi a Iehova, aole hoi au e hoomauhala mau loa.
13 So then, truly acknowledge your iniquity, that you have betrayed the Lord your God, and that you have spread your ways to strangers, under every leafy tree, and that you have not listened to my voice, says the Lord.
E hai wale mai hoi oe i kou hewa, i kau hana hewa ana ia Iehova i kou Akua, a ua lulu aku oe i kou mau aoao i na malihini, malalo o na laau uliuli a pau, aole hoi oukou i hooloho i ko'u leo, wahi a Iehova.
14 Convert, O rebellious sons, says the Lord. For I am your leader. And so, I will take you, one from a city, and two from a family, and I will lead you into Zion.
E huli mai, e na keiki hoihope, wahi a Iehova, no ka mea, ua mareia au nau: a e lawe no au ia oukou, i hookahi o ke kulanakauhale hookahi, a i elua o ka hale hookahi, a e lawe no au ia oukou i Ziona.
15 And I will give you pastors according to my own heart. And they will feed you with knowledge and doctrine.
A e haawi no au ia oukou i poe kahu mamuli o'ko'u naau, nana e hanai ia oukou i ka ike, a me ka naauao.
16 And when you have been multiplied and increased in the land in those days, says the Lord, they will no longer say: ‘The Ark of the covenant of the Lord!’ And it will not enter into the heart, and they will not call it to mind. It will neither be visited, nor made use of, any longer.
A hiki aku i ka manawa e nui ai oukou, a mahuahua ma ka aina, ia mau la, wahi a Iehova, aole lakou e olelo hou, O ka pahu o ka berita o Iehova; aole hoi e komo ia iloko o ka naau, aole lakou e hoomanao ia mea, aole lakou e hele e ike, aole hoi e hana hou ia ia mea.
17 In that time, Jerusalem will be called: ‘The Throne of the Lord.’ And all the nations will be gathered to it, in the name of the Lord, in Jerusalem. And they will not walk after the depravity of their own most wicked heart.
Ia manawa, e kapa no lakou ia Ierusalema, o ka nohoalii o Iehova; a e hoakoakoaia mai ko na aina a pau imua ona, i ka inoa o Iehova i Ierusalema; aole hoi lakou e hele hou mamuli o ka paakiki o ka naau hewa.
18 In those days, the house of Judah will go to the house of Israel, and they will come from the land of the north, at the same time, to the land that I gave to your fathers.
Ia mau la, e hele pu no ko ka hale o ka Iuda, me ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, a e hele pu mai no lakou mai ka aina o ka akau mai, a i ka aina au i haawi aku ai i aina hooili no kou poe makua.
19 But I said: How shall I place you among the sons, and distribute to you a desirable land, the preeminent inheritance of the host of the Gentiles? And I said: You will call me Father, and you will not cease to walk after me.
Aka, i iho la au, Pehea la au e waiho ai ia oe iwaena o na keiki, a haawi hoi ia oe i ka aina maikai i aina hooili nani o na pae aina? A olelo aku la au, E kapa mai oukou ia'u, o Ko'u Makua, aole hoi e huli mai o'u aku nei.
20 But, in the same way that a woman spurns her lover, so also has the house of Israel spurned me, says the Lord.”
Oiaio, e like me ka wahine haalele ino i kana kane, pela oukou i haalele ino mai ai ia'u, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, wahi a Iehova.
21 A voice has been heard in the highways, the weeping and wailing of the sons of Israel. For they have made their own ways sinful; they have forgotten the Lord their God.
Ua loheia ka Ieo maluna o na wahi kiekie, o ka uwe ana, e me ka nonoi ana a na mamo a Iseraela; a ua hookekee lakou i ko lakou aoao, a ua hoopoina lakou ia Iehova i ko lakou Akua.
22 “Convert, O rebellious sons! And I will heal your rebelliousness.” “Behold, we are returning to you. For you are the Lord our God!
E hoi mai oukou, e na keiki hoihope, a e hoola no wau i ko oukou hoihope ana. Aia hoi, ke hele mai nei makou iou la, no ka mea, o oe no o Iehova, o ko makou Akua.
23 Truly, the hills were liars, with the multitude of the mountains. Truly, the salvation of Israel is in the Lord our God.
He oiaio, he mea wahahee na mea o na mauna mai, a no na kuahiwi lehulehu mai: He oiaio, maloko o Iehova, o ko makou Akua, ke ola o ka Iseraela.
24 Confusion has devoured the labor of our fathers, from our youth, with their flocks and their herds, with their sons and their daughters.
Na ka hilahila i hoopau i na hana a ko makou poe makua, mai ko makou wa uuku mai, i ko lakou hipa, a me ko lakou hipi, a me ka lakou keikikane, a me ka lakou kaikamahine.
25 We will sleep in our confusion, and our disgrace will cover us. For we have sinned against the Lord our God: we and our fathers, from our youth, even to this day. And we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God.”
Ke moe nei makou ilalo iloko o ko makou hilahila, a ua uhiia makou i ko makou palaimaka; no ka mea, ua hana hewa aku makou ia Iehova i ko makou Akua, o makou, a me ko makou poe makua, mai ko makou wa opiopio, a hiki loa mai nei i keia la, aole hoi i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova, ko makou Akua.
