Jeremiah 7
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
O KA olelo keia i hiki mai ai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, i mai la.
2 “Stand at the gate to the house of the Lord, and preach this word there, and say: Listen to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who enter through these gates to adore the Lord.
E ku oe ma ka puka o ka hale o Iehova, a malaila oe e kala aku ai i keia olelo, a e i aku. E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e ka Iuda a pau i komo nei iloko o na pukapa e hoomana ia Iehova.
3 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Make your ways and your intentions good, and I will live with you in this place.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei. E hoomaikai oukou i ko oukou mau aoao, a me ka oukou hana ana, a na'u no e hoonoho loa ia oukou ma keia wahi.
4 Do not choose to trust in lying words, saying: ‘This is the temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord!’
Mai hilinai oukou ma na olelo wahahee, me ka olelo iho, Ka luakini o Iehova, Ka luakini o Iehova, Ka luakini o Iehova, keia mau mea.
5 For if you direct your ways and your intentions well, if you exercise judgment between a man and his neighbor,
No ka mea, ina hoomaikai oiaio oukou i ko oukou mau aoao, a me ka oukou hana ana; ina e hana oiaio oukou i ka pono mawaena o ke kanaka, a me kona hoa;
6 if you do not act with deceit toward the new arrival, the orphan, and the widow, and if you do not pour out innocent blood in this place, and if you do not walk after strange gods, which is to your own harm,
Ina hookaumaha ole oukou i ka malihini. i na keiki makua ole, a me na wahine kanemake, a hookahe ole i ke koko hala ole ma keia wahi, aole hoi e hele mamuli o na'kua e, i mea e hewa'i oukou;
7 then I will live with you in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers from the beginning and even forever.
Alaila, e hoonoho loa au ia oukou i keia wahi i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai i ko oukou poe makua, a mau loa aku no.
8 Behold, you trust in false words, which will not benefit you,
Aia hoi, ke hilinai nei no oukou i na wahahee hope ole.
9 so as to steal, to murder, to commit adultery, to swear falsely, to offer libations to Baal, and to go after strange gods, which you do not know.
E aihue anei oukou, a pepehi kanaka, a moe kolohe, a e hoike wahahee, a e kuni i ka mea ala no Baala, a e hele mamuli o na'kua e a oukou i ike ole ai?
10 And you arrived and stood before me in this house, where my name is invoked, and you said: ‘We have been freed because we carried out all these abominations.’
A e hele mai anei, a ku imua o'u iloko o keia hale, ka mea i heaia ma ko'u inoa, a e olelo iho, Ua hoolaia makou, i hana makou i keia mau mea hoopailua a pau?
11 So then, has this house, where my name has been invoked, become a den of robbers in your eyes? It is I, I am, I have seen, says the Lord.
O keia hale i kapaia ma ko'u inoa, ua lilo anei ia i lua no ka poe powa i ko oukou mau maka? Aia hoi, ua ike no wau, wahi a Iehova.
12 Go to my place in Shiloh, where my name has lived from the beginning, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
Aka, e hele oukou, ano, i ko'u hale ma Silo, i kahi a'u i waiho ai i ko'u inoa i kinohi, a e ike hoi i ka mea a'u i hana'i ia wahi no ka hewa o ko'u poe kanaka no ka Iseraela.
13 And now, because you have done all these works, says the Lord, and because I have spoken to you from your morning rising, and because I was speaking, but you were not listening, and because I have called you, but you have not responded:
A no ka oukou hana ana i keia mau mea a pau, wahi a Iehova; a olelo aku hoi au ia oukou, me ke ala ae i ka wauaao e olelo, aole nae oukou i hoolohe: a hea aku no hoi au ia oukou, aole oukou i o mai;
14 I will do to this house, in which my name is invoked, and in which you have confidence, even to this place which I gave to you and to your fathers, just as I have done to Shiloh.
Nolaila, e hana aku no au i keia hale i kapaia ma ko'u inoa, ka mea a oukou e hilinai nei, a i kahi hoi a'u i haawi aku ai ia oukou a i ko oukou poe makua, e like me ka'u i hana'i ia Silo.
15 And I will cast you away from my face, just as I have cast away all your brothers, the entire offspring of Ephraim.
A e kipaku aku no au ia oukou, mai ko'u ale aku, e like me ka'u i kipaku aku ai i ko oukou poe hoahanau a pau, i ka hanauna a pau hoi o ka Eperaima.
16 Therefore, you should not pray for this people, nor take up praise and supplication on their behalf. And you should not stand in opposition to me. For then I will not heed you.
Nolaila, mai pule oe, no keia poe kanaka, aole hoi e hookiekie i ka leo, a me ka nouoi ana no lakou, aole hoi e uwao iho no lakou; no ka mea, aole loa au e hoolohe aku ia oe.
17 Have you not seen what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Aole anei oe i ike i na mea a lakou e hana nei ma na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema?
18 The sons gather the wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the wives spread the grease, so as to make cakes to the queen of heaven and to offer libations to strange gods, and so as to provoke me to anger.
Hoiliili no na keiki i ka wahie, a hoa na makuakane i ke ahi, a kaawili na wahine i ka palaoa, e hana i papapalaoa no ke alii wahine o ka lani, a uinini i ka mohai inu no na akua e, i mea e hoonaukiuki mai ai ia'u.
19 But are they provoking me to anger, says the Lord? Are they not provoking themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?”
E hoonankiuki mai anei lakou ia'u, wahi a Iehova? Aole anei ia e lilo ia lakou i mea e hoopalai loa ai ko lakou mau maka?
20 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: “Behold, my fury and my indignation is kindled against this place, over men and over beasts, and over the trees of the countryside and over the fruits of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.”
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua penei, Aia hoi, e nininiia'ku no ko'u huhu, a me ko'u ukiuki maluna o keia wahi, maluna o ke kanaka, a maluna o ka holoholona, a maluna o na laau o ke kula, a maluna o ka hua o ka lepo; a e a no ia, aole ia e hoopioia.
21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Add your holocausts to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, E hui oukou i ko oukou mohaikuni me ko oukou alana, a e ai i ka io.
22 For concerning the matter of holocausts and sacrifices, I did not speak with your fathers, and I did not instruct them, in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt.
No ka mea, aole au i olelo aku i ko oukou poe makua, a i ka la a'u i lawe mai ai ia lakou mai Aigupita mai, aole au i kauoha ia lakou no na mohai kuni, a me na alana:
23 But on this matter I did instruct them, saying: Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. And walk in the entire way that I have commanded you, so that it may be well with you.
Aka, o keia ka'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou, i aku la, E malama i ko'u leo, a owau auanei ko oukou Akua, a o oukou auanei ko'u poe kanaka, a e hele hoi oukou ma na aoao a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oukou, i mea e pomaikai ai oukou.
24 But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear. Instead, they walked by their own will and in the depravity of their own wicked heart. And so, they went backward, and not forward,
Aka, aole lakou i hoolohe mai, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko lakou pepeiao, aka, hele no lakou ma ka noonoo ana a ma ka paakiki o ko lakou naau hewa, a hoihope lakou, aole i hele mua.
25 from the day when their fathers went forth from the land of Egypt, even to this day. And I have sent all my servants, the prophets, to you, throughout the day, rising at first light and sending them.
Mai ka la i hele mai ai ko oukou poe kupuna mai Aigupita mai, a hiki loa mai i keia la, ua hoouna aku au io oukou la, i ka'u poe kauwa a pau, i na kaula hoi, e ala ana i ka wanaao i kela la i keia la no ka hoouna aku.
26 But they have not listened to me, nor have they inclined their ear. Instead, they have stiffened their neck, and they have behaved worse than their fathers did.
Aole nae lakou i hoolohe mai ia'u, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko lakou pepeiao, aka, hooolea no i ko lakou a-i. Kela aku no ka lakou hana hewa ana, i ka na makua o lakou.
27 And so, you will speak to them all these words, but they will not listen to you. And you will call to them, but they will not respond to you.
Nolaila oe e olelo aku ai i keia mau olelo a pau ia lakou; aka, aole no lakou e hoolohe mai ia oe. E hea aku oe ia lakou; aka, aole no lakou e o mai i kau.
28 And you will say to them: This is the nation that has not listened to the voice of the Lord their God, nor accepted discipline. Faith has perished and been taken away from their mouth.
E olelo no nae oe ia lakou, He lahuikanaka keia i hoolohe ole i ka leo o Iehova o ko lakou Akua, aole hoi lakou i hoonaauao. Ua make ka oiaio, a ua hookiia mai ko lakou waha aku.
29 Cut off your hair, and cast it away. And take up a lamentation on high. For the Lord has cast aside and abandoned this generation of his fury.
E ako oe i kou lauoho, a e hoolei aku, a e olo ka pihe maluna o na wahi kiekie; no ka mea, ua hoole o Iehova, a ua haalele hoi i ka hanauna o kona ukiuki
30 For the sons of Judah have done evil in my eyes, says the Lord. They have stationed their abominations in the house where my name is invoked, so that they may defile it.
No ka mea, ua hana hewa na kieki a Iuda imua o ko'u alo, wahi a Iehova; ua waiho lakou i ko lakou mea e hoopailua'i maloko o ka hale i kapaia ma ko'u inoa, e hoohaumia ia wahi.
31 And they have built the exalted places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of the son of Hinnom, so that they may burn their sons and their daughters with fire, something I neither instructed, nor thought in my heart.
A ua hana lakou i na wahi kiekie o Topeta; aia no ia maloko o ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, e puhi i ka lakou keiki kane, a me ka lakou kaikamahine iloko o ke ahi, ka mea a'u i kauoha ole ai ia lakou, aole hoi i komo ia iloko o ko'u naau.
32 For this reason, behold, the days will arrive, says the Lord, when it will no longer be called Topheth, nor the Valley of the son of Hinnom, but instead the Valley of Slaughter. Yet they will bury in Topheth, because there will be no other place.
Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la, wahi a Iehova, e kapa ole ia'i ia o Topeta, aole hoi o ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, aka, o ke awawa o ka make; no ka mea, e kanu kupapau no lakou ma Topeta, a piha loa ia wahi.
33 And the corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the air and for the wild beasts of the land, and there will be no one to drive them away.
A e lilo na kupapau o keia poe kanaka i mea ai na na manu o ka lani, a na na holoholona o ka honua, aohe mea hooweliweli ia lakou.
34 And from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, I will cause the cessation of the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride. For the land will be in utter desolation.”
Alaila, maloko o na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema, e hooki no wau i ka leo o ke oli, a me ka leo o ka hauoli, a me ka leo o ke kane mare, a me ka leo o ka wahine mare; a e neoneo auanei ka aina.
