Jeremiah 9
1 “Who will provide water for my head, and a fount of tears for my eyes? And then I will weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.
A UWE! ina i lilo kuu poo i wai, a me kuu mau maka hoi i kumu waimaka, i uwe aku ai au i ke ao a me ka po, no ka poe i pephiia o ko kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka!
2 Who will provide me, in the wilderness, with a lodging place along the road? And then I will forsake my people, and withdraw from them. For they are all adulterers, a union of transgressors.
Auwe hoi! ina ia'u ma ka waonahele ko ka poe hele wahi e moe ai; i haalele ai au i ko'u poe kanaka, a e hele, mai o lakou aku! no ka mea, he poe moe kolohe lakou a pau, he ahakanaka kipi.
3 And they have bent their tongue, like a bow, to send forth lies and not the truth. They have been strengthened upon the earth. And they have gone from one evil to another. But they have not known me, says the Lord.
Lena no lakou i ko lakou mau alelo, e like me ko lakou kakaka, no ka wahahee. Aole lakou hookoa ma ka oiaio maluna o ka honua; no ka mea, hele no lakou, mai kekahi hewa, a i kekahi hewa, aole hoi lakou i ike mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
4 Let each one guard himself against his neighbor, and let him have no trust in any brother of his. For every brother will utterly overthrow, and every friend will advance deceitfully.
E makaala kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, mai hilinai hoi i kekahi hoahanau; no ka mea, e wahahee loa no kela hoahanau, keia hoahanau; a hele ahiahi no na hoalauna a pau.
5 And a man will deride his brother, and they will not speak the truth. For they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they have labored to commit iniquity.
E hoopunipuni no kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, aole olelo i ka mea oiaio; ua maa ko lakou alelo e olelo i na wahahee, hoomaloeloe lakou ia lakou iho e hana i ka hewa.
6 Your habitation is in the midst of deceit. In their deceitfulness, they have refused to know me, says the Lord.”
Aia no kou wahi noho ai iwaena konu o ka hoopunipuni; no ka hoopunipuni, hoole mai lakou, aole e ike mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
7 Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will refine them, and I will test them. For what else can I do before the face of the daughter of my people?
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua peneia. Aia hoi, e hoohehee no wau ia lakou, a e hoao hoi ia lakou; no ka mea, heaha la wau e hana'i no ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka?
8 Their tongue is a wounding arrow; it has spoken deceit. With his mouth, he speaks peace with his friend, and then he secretly lies in ambush for him.
O ko lakou alelo, he pua ia i panaia'ku, olelo no ia i ka hoopunipuni. Olelo oluolu aku kekahi i kona hoalauna me ka waha, aka, ma ka naau, ua hoohalua ia ia.
9 Shall I not visit upon them concerning these things, says the Lord? Or shall my soul not take vengeance on a nation of this kind?
Aole anei au e hoopai ia lakou no keia mau mea, wahi a Iehova? Aole anei e ko ka ukiuki o kuu uhane i ka lahuikanaka e like me keia?
10 I will take up weeping and lamentation over the mountains, and mourning over the beautiful places in the desert. For they have been scorched because no man is passing through them. And they have not heard the voice of any occupant. From the birds of the air, even to the cattle, they have migrated and withdrawn.
E olo no wau i ka pihe no na mauna, me ka uwe aku, a e kumakena no hoi no na wahi mauu o ka waonahele, no ka mea, ua pau lakou i ke ahi; nolaila, aole hiki kekahi ke hele malaila, aole hoi e loheia ka leo o na holoholona. Ua holo aku no ka manu o ka lewa, a me ka holoholona, ua hala lakou.
11 And I will make Jerusalem into piles of sand and into a lair for serpents. And I will make the cities of Judah desolate, so much so that there will be no inhabitant.
A e hoolilo no wau ia Ierusalema i mau puu, he noho ana hoi no na ilio hihiu; a e hooneoneo no wau i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, aohe mea noho iloko.
12 Who is the wise man who understands this, and to whom a word from the mouth of the Lord may be given, so that he may announce this: why the land has perished, and has been scorched like a desert, so much so that no one passes through it?”
Owai ke kanaka akamai i hoomaopopo i keia? A ua olelo hoi ka waha o Iehova ia ia, a nana hoi e hai aku i ka mea i make ai ka aina, a neoneo e like me ka waonahele, i ole e hele ae kekahi maloko?
13 And the Lord said: “It is because they have abandoned my law, which I gave to them, and they have not listened to my voice, and they have not walked by it.
I mai la o Iehova, No ko lakou haalele ana i ko'u kanawai, i ka mea a'u i kau ai imua o lakou, aole hoi i hoolohe i ko'u leo, aole hoi i hele mamuli o ia;
14 And they have gone after the depravity of their own heart, and after Baal, which they learned from their fathers.”
Aka, ua hele lakou mamuli o ka paakiki o ko lakou naau iho, a mamuli o na Baala hoi, na mea a ko lakou poe makua i ao mai ai ia lakou;
15 For this reason, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will feed this people with absinthe, and I will give them the water of gall to drink.
Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aia hoi, e hanai aku no wau ia lakou, i keia poe kanaka hoi, i ka awaawa, a e hoohainu aku au ia lakou i ka wai o ke au.
16 And I will disperse them among nations, which they and their fathers have not known. And I will send the sword after them, until they are consumed.”
A e hoopuehu aku au ia lakou iwaena o ko na aina e, i ka poe i ike ole ia e lakou, aole hoi e ko lakou mau makuaa; e hoouna aku au i ka pahikaua mahope o lakou, a hoopau au ia lakou.
17 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Consider and call upon the women mourners, and let them approach. And send to those women who are wise, and let them hurry.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, E hoonaauao oukou, a e hea aku i na wahine e olo pihe ana, i hele mai lakou, a e kii aku hoi i na wahine kumakena, i hele mai lakou;
18 ‘Let them hasten to take up a lamentation over us. Let our eyes shed tears, and our eyelids run with water.’
E hoowikiwiki hoi lakou, a e olo pihe no kakou i kahe ka wai o ko Kakou mau maka, i poha aku hoi ko kakou mau alumaka i na wai.
19 For a voice of lamentation has been heard from Zion: ‘How is it that we have been devastated and greatly confounded? Our tabernacles have been thrown down because we have forsaken the land.’”
No ka mea, ua loheia ka leo o ka uwe ana, mai Ziona mai, Nani ko kakou lukuia! Ua hilahila loa kakou, no ka mea, ua haalele kakou i ka aina, no ka mea, ua kipaku aku ko kakou wahi noho ai ia kakou.
20 “Therefore, listen, O women, to the word of the Lord! And let your ears take up the word of his mouth. And teach your daughters to lament. And let each one teach her neighbor to mourn:
Aka, e hoolohe mai oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, o na wahine, a e lawe hoi ko oukou pepeiao i ka olelo a kona waha, a e ao aku i ka oukou mau kaikamahine i ka uwe ana, a o kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna i ke kumakena ana.
21 ‘For death has climbed through our windows. It has entered our houses to perish the little children from the outdoors, the youths from the streets.’”
No ka mea, ua pii mai no ka make, a iloko o ko kakou puka ma kani, ua komo no iloko o ko kakou halealii, e hooki ae ia i na kamalii mawaho, a me ua kanaka opiopio ma ke alanui.
22 “Speak: Thus says the Lord: And the corpses of men will fall like manure over the face of the countryside, and like hay behind the back of the reaper, and there will be no one to gather it.”
E i aku Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E haule no na kupapau o kanaka e like me ka lepo ma ke kula, e like hoi me ka pua ai mahope o ka mea hoiliili ai; aohe mea nana lakou e hoiliili.
23 Thus says the Lord: “The wise man should not glory in his wisdom, and the strong man should not glory in his strength, and the rich man should not glory in his riches.
Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Mai kaena wale ka mea akamai i kona akamai ana, mai kaena wale hoi ka mea ikaika i kona ikaika ana, a mai kaena ka mea waiwai i kona waiwai ana;
24 But he who glories should glory in this: to know me and to know me well. For I am the Lord, who accomplishes mercy and judgment and justice upon the earth. For these things are pleasing to me, says the Lord.
Aka o ka mea kaena, e kaena oia i keia, i kona hoomaopopo ana, a i kona ike aua ia'u, owau no o Iehova, ka mea hana aku i ka lokomaikai, a me ka hoopono, a me ka maikai ma ka honua; no ka mea, ke lealea nei au ia mau mea, wahi a Iehova.
25 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will visit upon all who are uncircumcised:
Aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la. wahi a Iehova, e hoopai pu aku ai au i ka poe a pau i okipoepoeia me ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia:
26 upon Egypt, and upon Judah, and upon Edom, and upon the sons of Ammon, and upon Moab, and upon all who have shaved off their hair, living in the desert. For all the nations are uncircumcised in body, but all the house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.”
I ko Aigupita, a me ka Iuda a me ka Edoma. a me na keiki a Amona, a me ka Moaba, a me na mea a pau i ako i ka uminmi, ka poe e noho la ma ka waonahelo; no ka mea, ua okipoepoe ole ia ko na aina e a pau, a ua okipoepoe ole ia ko ka hale a pau o ka Iseraela, ma ka maau.
