Jeremiah 51
1 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will raise up, over Babylon and over its inhabitants, who have lifted up their heart against me, something like a pestilent wind.
KE i mai nei o Iehova, penei; Aia hoi, e hoala no wau i ka makani luku e ku e ia Babulona, E ku e hoi i ka poe e noho la iwaenakonu, Ka poe i ala ku e mai ia'u.
2 And I will send winnowers into Babylon, and they will winnow her, and they will demolish her land. For they will overwhelm her from every side in the day of her affliction.
E hoouna aku au i na malihini i Babulona, A e hoopuehu lakou i kona, a e ninini aku i ko kona aina; No ka mea, e ku e no lakou ia ia a puni i ka la poino.
3 Let him who draws the bow, not draw his bow. And let him who wears armor, not rise up. Do not spare her young men. Destroy her entire military.
E lena ke kakaka o ka mea pana, E ku e i ka mea i hoolena i kona; E ku e i ka mea hookiekie maloko o kona paleumaumaunahi; Mai hookoe i kona poe kanaka opiopio, E luku loa aku i kona mau kaua a pau.
4 And the slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the wounded in its regions.
E hina no ka poe make ma ka aina o ko Kaledea, A e houia ma kona mau alanui.
5 Yet Israel and Judah have not been widowed by their God, the Lord of hosts, though their land has been filled with transgression against the Holy One of Israel.
No ka mea, ua haalele ole ia ka Iseraela, A o ka Iuda hoi e kona Akua e Iehova o na kaua; Ua piha nae ko lakou aina i ka lawehala imua o ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
6 Flee from the midst of Babylon! And let each one save his own life. Do not be silent about her iniquity. For it is the time of revenge from the Lord. He himself will repay her, in her turn.
E holo oukou mai waenakonu aku o Babulona, E hoopakele kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona ola iho: Mai noho oukou a lukuia iloko o kona hewa, No ka mea, o ka manawa keia o ko Iehova ukiuki; Nana no e hoouku aku ia ia
7 Babylon is a gold cup in the hand of the Lord, inebriating the entire earth. The nations have drunk from her wine, and therefore they have staggered.
He wahi kiaha gula o Babulona ma ka lima o Iehova, O ka mea ia i ona'i ka honua a pau: Ua inu ko na aina i kona waina, Nolaila i pupule ai ko na aina.
8 Suddenly, Babylon has fallen and been crushed. Wail over her! Take a balm to her pain, if perhaps she may be healed.”
Ua haule hoohikilele o Babulona, a ua anaiia; E aoa nona, e kii hoi i wahi nini no kona eha, Ina paha e hoolaia oia.
9 “We would have cured Babylon, but there is no cure. Let us abandon her, and let each one of us go to his own land. For her judgment has reached even to the heavens, and has been lifted up even to the clouds.
Hoola aku no makou ia Babulona, aole ia i ola: E haalele ia ia, e hele hoi kela mea keia mea o kakou i kona aina iho; No ka mea, ua pa aku kona hoopaiia i ka lani, Ua hapaiia hoi, a i na aouli.
10 The Lord has brought forth our justices. Come and let us describe in Zion the work of the Lord our God.”
Ua hoopuka mai o Iehova i ko kakou pono; E hele mai hoi, e hai aku kakou ma Ziona i ka hana a Iehova ko kakou Akua.
11 Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers. The Lord has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes. And his mind is against Babylon, so that he may destroy her. For this is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
E anai i na pua, e lalau i na palekaua; Ua hooikaika o Iehova i ka manao o na'lii o Media: No ka mea, he manao ku e kona ia Babulona e luku ia wahi; No ka mea, o ka hoopai ana ia o Iehova, O kana hoopai ana hoi, no kona luakini.
12 Upon the walls of Babylon, lift up a sign. Increase the watch! Rouse the watchmen! Prepare ambushes! For the Lord has planned and has accomplished all that he has spoken, against the inhabitants of Babylon.
E kau i ka hae ma na pa o Babulona, E hoomahuahua i ka poe kaua, E hoonohonoho i na kiai, E hoomakaukau i ka poe hoohalua; No ka mea, ua noonoo o Iehova, a ua hana hoi i na mea ana i olelo ku e ai i ka poe e noho la ma Babulona.
13 You who live above many waters, rich in treasures: your end has arrived, your measure has been cut short.
E ka mea e noho la ma na wai nui, Ka mea waiwai nui hoi, Ua hiki mai kou hope, a me ke ana o kou hao ana.
14 The Lord of hosts has sworn by himself, saying: “For I will fill you with men as with locusts, and they will sing a rhythmic chant against you.”
Ua hoohiki o Iehova o na kaua ia ia iho, Oiaio, e hoopiha no wau ia oe i na kanaka e like me na enuhe, A e hookiekie lakou i ka hooho ku e ia oe.
15 The One who made the earth by his strength, who prepared the world by his wisdom, and who stretched out the heavens by his prudence:
Ua hana oia i ka honua i kona mana, Ua hookumu oia i ke ao nei i kona akamai, A ua uhola'i i na lani i kona ike.
16 when he utters his voice, the waters will be multiplied in the heavens. The One who lifts up the clouds from the ends of the earth: he has turned lightning into rain, and he has brought forth wind from his storehouses.
I ka poha ana o kona leo, Nui na wai ma na lani; Oia ka mea e pii aku ai ka ohu, mai na kihi ae o ka honua: Nana no i hana ka uwila, me ka ua, A hoopuka mai la oia i ka makaui, Mailoko mai o kona waihona waiwai.
17 Each man has become foolish before his own knowledge. Each sculptor has been confounded by his own sculpture. For what he has formed of them is a lie, and there is no spirit in them.
Me he holoholona la na kanaka a pau ma ka ike, Ua hoohilahilaia na mea hoohehee kala a pau, ma na kii i hooheheeia; No ka mea, he wahahee kona kii hooheheeia, Aohe hanu iloko o lakou.
18 They are empty works, 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.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like their portion. For the One who made all things is his portion, and Israel is the scepter of his inheritance. The Lord of hosts is his name:
Aole i like ka Puu o Iakoba me lakou, No ka mea, nana no i hana na mea a pau; O ka Iseraela ke kookoo o kona hooilina; O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
20 “For me, you strike together the instruments of war; and with you, I will strike together nations; and with you, I will scatter the kingdoms.
He hamare no oe no'u, A me ko'u mau mea kaua e kaua'i: No ka mea, ia oe no wau e wawahi ai i na aina, A ia oe no hoi e luku aku ai au i na aupuni;
21 And with you, I will strike together the horse and his rider; and with you, I will strike together the chariot and its rider.
Ia oe no wau e uhai i ka lio, A me kona mea nana e holo; Ia oe no wau e uhai ai i ke kaakaua, A me kona mea nana e holo;
22 And with you, I will strike together man and woman; and with you, I will strike together the old man and the boy; and with you, I will strike together the young man and the virgin.
Ia oe no wau e uhai ai i ke kane a me ka wahine; Ia oe no hoi au e uhai ai i ka elemakule a me ka mea opiopio; A ia oe no e uhai ai au i ke kanaka opiopio, a me ke kaikamahine:
23 And with you, I will strike together the pastor and his flock; and with you, I will strike together the farmer and his yoke of oxen; and with you, I will strike together military leaders and civil leaders.
Ia oe no e uhai aku ai au i ke kahuhipa, a me kona ohana; Ia oe no wau e uhai aku ai i ke kauaka mahiai, A me kona mau bipi kauo; A ia oe no wau e uhai aku ai i na kiaaina, A me ko lakou poe alii.
24 And I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion, before your eyes, says the Lord.
A maluna o Babulona, a maluna o ka poe e noho la ma Kaledea, E hoihoi no wau i ka hewa a pau a lakou i hana'i, Ma Ziona, imua o kou mau maka, wahi a Iehova.
25 Behold, I am against you, you pestilent mountain, says the Lord, for you are corrupting the entire earth. And I will extend my hand over you, and I will roll you down from the rocks, and I will make you into a burning mountain.
Aia hoi, owau ka i ku e ia oe, e ka mauna hoomake, Wahi a Iehova; Ka mea i anai i ka honua a pau: A e kakauha aku au i ko'u lima maluna ou, A e olokaa aku au ia oe ilalo, mai na pohaku aku, A e hoolilo au ia oe i mauna a.
26 And they will not take from you a stone for the corner, nor a stone for the foundations. Instead, you will be destroyed unto eternity,” says the Lord.
Aole hoi lakou e lawe i kekahi pohaku ou i pohaku kihi, Aole hoi i pohaku hookumu: Aka, e neoneo mau loa aku no oe, wahi a Iehova.
27 Lift up a sign in the land! Sound the trumpet among the nations! Sanctify the nations against her. Announce against her the kings of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Number against her Taphsar. Lead in the horse, like the stinging locust.
E kau oukou i ka hae ma ka aina, E puhi i ka pu iwaena o ko na aina, E hoomakaukau i ko na aina, e ku e ia ia; E kena i na aupuni o Arerata e ku e ia ia, Ia Mini, a me Asekenaza; E hoonoho i alihi kaua e ku e ia ia; E hoouna i na lio e like me na enuhe huluhulu.
28 Sanctify the nations against her: the kings of Media, their military leaders, and all their civil leaders, and the entire land under their authority.
E hoomakaukau ku e ia ia i ko na aina a me ua'lii o ko Media, I kona poe kiaaina hoi a me kona mau luna, A me ka aina a pau o kona aupuni.
29 And the earth will be shaken and will be disturbed. For the plan of the Lord against Babylon will awaken, so that he may make the land of Babylon desolate and uninhabitable.
E haalulu no ka aina, a e mihi hoi; No ka mea, e hanaia maluna o Babulona na manao a pau o Iehova, E hoolilo i ka aina o Babulona i wahi neoneo, Me ka mea ole nana e noho.
30 The strong ones of Babylon have ceased to do battle. They have lived in fortresses. Their health has been devoured, and they have become like women. Her tabernacles have been set ablaze; her bars have been broken.
Ua haalele na kanaka ikaika o Babulona i ke kaua, Ua noho lakou ma na puu kaua; Ua pio hoi ko lakou ikaika, Ua like no hoi lakou me na wahine; Ua hoopau lakou i ko lakou wahi noho i ke ahi, Ua uhaiia kona mau kikaola.
31 Runner will go forth to meet runner, and messenger will meet messenger, so as to tell the king of Babylon that his city has been captured, from one end to the other,
E holo auanei kekahi luna e halawai me ka kekahi luna, A me kekahi elele e halawai me kekahi elele, E hai aku i ke alii i ke pio ana o ke kulanakauhale ma kekahi pea:
32 and that the fords were seized in advance, and that the marshes have been burned with fire, and that the men of war have been set in disarray.
I ka lilo ana o na alanui kiaiia, A ua hoopau no lakou i na ohe i ke ahi, Ua auhee hoi na kanaka kaua.
33 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor. This is the time of her threshing. A little while longer, and the time of her harvest will arrive.”
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; Ua like ke kaikamahine o Babulona me kahi hahi palaoa, Ua hiki mai ka manawa e hahi ai ia ia; He manawa iki e koe, a hiki mai kona hoiliili ai ana.
34 “Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has consumed me, has devoured me. He has made me like an empty vessel. He has swallowed me like a dragon. He has filled his belly with my tender ones, and he has cast me out.
Ua ai mai o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona ia'u, A ua hooki loa mai ia'u, Ua hoolilo mai oia ia'u i ipu mea ole iloko, Ua moni mai oia ia'u, e like me ka moonui, Ua hoopiha oia i kona opu i ka'u mea maikai, Ua kipaku mai oia ia'u.
35 This iniquity is against me, and so my flesh is upon Babylon,” says the habitation of Zion. “And my blood is upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” says Jerusalem.
Maluna hoi o Babulona, ka hookaumahaia o'u a me ko'u kino, Wahi a ka mea e noho la ma Ziona; A o ko'u koko hoi maluna o ka poe e noho la ma Kaledea, Wahi a Ierusalema.
36 Because of this, thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will judge your case, and I will avenge your vengeance, and I will make her sea into a desert, and I will dry up her spring.
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, na'u no e hooponopono i kou hoopiiia, Na'u hoi e hoopai aku nou; A e hoomaloo no wau i kona moana, A e hoopio no hoi au i kona waipuna.
37 And Babylon will become a tumult, the habitation of dragons, an astonishment, and a hissing, because there is no inhabitant.
A e lilo o Babulona i mau puu, He wahi noho no na iliohihiu, He mea e kahaha ai, a e hoowahawaha ai hoi, Me ka mea ole nana e noho.
38 They will roar together, like lions, they will shake their manes, like young lions.
E uwo pu no lakou e like me na liona, A e hoonui hoi i ko lakou leo e like me na keiki liona.
39 In their heat, I will give them a drink, and I will inebriate them, so that they become drowsy, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and do not rise up, says the Lord.
Ia lakou e wela'i, e hana no wau i ko lakou ahainu, A e hooona aku wau ia lakou, i mea e lealea ai lakou, A e moe no lakou i ka hiamoe mau loa, Aole lakou e ala hou, wahi a Iehova.
40 I will lead them away, like lambs to the slaughter, and like rams with young goats.
E hooiho aku au ia lakou e like me na keikihipa i ka make, E like hoi me na hipa kane, a me na kaokane.
41 How was Sesac captured, and how was the renowned one of all the earth seized? How has Babylon become an astonishment among the nations?
Nani ka hopuia o Sesaka! A ua hoopioia hoi ka mea nani o ka honua a pau! Nani ka lilo ana o Babulona i mea kupaianaha iwaena o na aina!
42 The sea has ascended over Babylon; she has been covered by the multitude of its waves.
Ua pii mai ke kai maluna o Babulona; Ua uhiia oia i ka nui o kona mau ale.
43 Her cities have become an astonishment, an uninhabited and desolate land, a land in which no one may live, nor may a son of man pass through it.
Ua lilo kona mau kulanakauhale i wahi neoneo, He aina maloo hoi, a he waonahele, He aina noho ole ia e kekahi kanaka, Aole hoi e hele ae ke keiki a ke kanaka ilaila.
44 And I will visit against Bel in Babylon, and I will cast from his mouth what he has swallowed. And the nations will no longer flow together before him. For even the wall of Babylon will also fall.
Na'u no e hoopai aku ia Bela ma Babulona, A e hoopuka aku no hoi au iwaho o kona waha, I ka mea ana i moni ai; Aole e akoakoa hou mai na lahuikanaka io na la; Oia, e hiolo ana ka pa o Babulona.
45 Go forth from her midst, my people, so that each one may save his life from the wrath of the fury of the Lord.
E ko'u poe kanaka, e hele oukou maiwaena aku ona, A e hoopakele kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona ola iho, Mai ka ukiuki nui o Iehova;
46 For otherwise, your heart may faint, and you may be afraid at the news that is heard in the land. And the news will arrive within a year, and after that year more news will arrive. And iniquity will be in the land, and one ruler will be over another ruler.
O maule auanei ko oukou naau, a makau hoi oukou, no ka lono e loheia ana ma ia aina; E hiki mai no ka lono i kekahi makahiki, A he lono hou i kekahi makahiki, He haunaele ma ka aina, O kekahi alii e ku e ana i kekahi alii.
47 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, when I will visit against the graven images of Babylon. And her entire land will be confounded, and all her slain will fall in her midst.
Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, E hoopai aku ai au i na kii kalaiia o Babulona; A e hoohilahilaia kona aina a pau, A e haule hoi iwaenakonu ona, kona poe a pau i houia.
48 And the heavens and the earth, and all the things that are in them, will give praise over Babylon. For despoilers will approach her from the north, says the Lord.
Alaila e hookani olioli ai ka lani, a me ka honua, a me na mea a pau oloko, no Babulona; No ka mea, mai ke kukulu akau mai e hele mai ai io na la ka poe hao wale, wahi a Iehova.
49 And in the manner that Babylon has caused the slain to fall in Israel, so the slain of Babylon will fall over the entire earth.
Me Babulona i hoohina'i i ka poe i houia o ka Iseraela, Pela no ma Babulona e hina'i ka poe i houia o ka honua a pau.
50 You who have fled from the sword, approach, do not stand still. Remember from afar the Lord, and let Jerusalem rise up in your heart.
E hele oukou, e ka poe i pakele i ka pahikaua, Mai ku malie; e hoomanao ia Iehova ma kahi loihi aku, E hoomanao hoi ia Ierusalema iloko o ko oukou naau.
51 We have been confounded, for we heard reproach. Shame has covered our faces, for strangers have overwhelmed the holiness of the house of the Lord.
Ua hoohilahilaia makou, no ka mea, ua lohe makou i ka hoowahawaha: Ua uhiia ko makou maka i ka hilahila; No ka mea, ua hiki mai na malihini iloko o na keenakapu o ka hale o Iehova.
52 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will visit against her graven images, and within all her land the wounded will groan.
No ia mea, aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la, wahi a Iehova, E hoopai aku ai au i kona mau kii kalaiia; A ma kona aina a puni e kaniuhu ai no ka poe i oia.
53 If Babylon were to ascend to heaven, and establish her strength on high, her despoilers would go forth from me, says the Lord.”
Ina paha i pii aku o Babulona a i ka lani, A ina i hoopaa loa oia i na puu kaua o kona ikaika, E hele aku nae ka poe hao wale, mai o'u aku nei a io na la, wahi a Iehova.
54 A voice of outcry from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
Mai Babulona mai, kui mai ka lono no ka uwe ana, A me ka luku nui ia, mai ka aina o ko Kaledea mai.
55 For the Lord has despoiled Babylon, and he has perished the great voice from her. And their wave will make a sound like many waters. Their voice has uttered a noise.
No ka mea, ua hao wale o Iehova ia Babulona, A ua hooki hoi i ka walaau nui mai ona aku; A halulu kona mau ale e like me na wai nui, Kani no ka leo o kona walaau.
56 For the despoiler has overwhelmed her, that is, Babylon, and her strong ones have been apprehended, and their bow has been weakened. For the Lord, the powerful revenger, will certainly repay.
No ka mea, ua hele mai ka mea hao wale maluna ona, Maluna hoi o Babulona; Ua lawepioia kona poe kanaka ikaika, Ua hai hoi na kakaka a pau o lakou; No ka mea, o Iehova ke Akua hoopai, Oiaio no, e hoopai oia.
57 “And I will inebriate her leaders, and her wise ones, and her military rulers, and her civil rulers, and her strong ones. And they will sleep an everlasting sleep, and they will not awaken,” says the King: the Lord of hosts is his name.
A e hooona aku au i kona poe alii, a me kona poe akamai, I kona poe kiaaina, a me kona mau luna, a me kona poe kanaka ikaika: A e moe no lakou i ka hiamoe mau loa, Aole lakou e ala hou, wahi a ke alii, Nona ka inoa, o Iehova o na kaua.
58 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “That very wide wall of Babylon will be utterly overturned, and her exalted gates will be burned with fire, and the labors of the people will be as nothing, and the labors of the nations will be sent into the fire and will perish.”
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua; E oiaio no e hoohiolo loa ia na pa nui o Babulona, A e puhiia i ke ahi kona mau pukapa kiekie; E hooikaika na kanaka a make hewa ka luhi, A o na lahuikanaka hoi, no ke ahi, A e maloeloe lakou.
59 The word that Jeremiah, the prophet, instructed to Seraiah, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he traveled with king Zedekiah into Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was the leader of the prophets.
O ka olelo a Ieremia a ke kaula i kauoha'i ia Seraia, i keiki a Neria, i ke keiki a Maaseia, i ka manawa ana i hele pu aku ai i Babulona me Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka makahiki aha o kona noho alii ana. He luna noho malie o ua Seraia nei.
60 And Jeremiah wrote in one book all the evil that was to overwhelm Babylon; all these words were written against Babylon.
A kakau no Ieremia iloko o ka buke i ka hewa a pau e hiki mai ana maluna o Babulona, i keia mau olelo a pau hoi i palapalaia no Babulona.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: “When you will enter into Babylon, and you will see and read all these words,
Olelo mai la o Ieremia ia Seraia, A hiki aku oe i Babulona, a ike, a heluhelu hoi i keia mau olelo a pau;
62 you will say: ‘O Lord, you have spoken against this place so that you may destroy it, so that there would not be anyone, from man even to beast, who may live in it, and so that it may be desolate forever.’
Alaila, e i aku oe, E Iehova, ua olelo ku e mai oe i keia wahi, e hooki iho, i mea e koe ole ai kekahi mea iloko ona, aohe kanaka, aohe holoholona, aka, e neoneo mau loa aku no.
63 And when you will have completed reading this book, you will tie a stone to it, and you will cast it into the midst of the Euphrates.
A hiki i ka manawa e hoopau ai oe i ka heluhelu ana i keia buke, alaila e nakinaki i ka pohaku me ka buke, a e hoolei aku iwaenakonu o Euperate.
64 And you will say: ‘So shall Babylon be submerged! And she will not rise up before the face of the affliction that I will lead over her. And she will be broken.’” The words of Jeremiah thus far.
A e i aku oe, Pela e poho ai o Babulona, aole o ala hou, mai ka hewa a'u e lawe ai maluna ona. A e maloeloe lakou. A ia nei na olelo a Ieremia.
