Jeremiah 18
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
O KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la mai o Iehova mai, i ka i ana mai,
2 Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
E ku iluna, a e iho ilalo i ka hale o ka potera, a malaila e mea aku au, a e lohe oe i ka'u mau olelo.
3 And I went down to the potter's house; and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
Alaila, iho aku la au ilalo i ka hale o ka potera, a aia hoi, e hana ana oia i ka hana maluna o na kaa.
4 And the vessel that he made was marred, as clay, in the hand of the potter; and he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make.
A o ka ipu ana i hana'i no ka lepo, ino iho la no ia iloko o ka lima o ka potera. Alaila, hana hou iho la no oia i ipu e, e like me ka makemake o ka potera e hana.
5 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo o Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
6 House of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, house of Israel.
E ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, aole anei e hiki ia'u ke hana e like me keia potera, wahi a Iehova? Aia hoi, e like me ka lepo iloko o ka lima o ka potera, pela no oukou iloko o ko'u lima, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela.
7 At the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy,
I ka wa a'u e olelo ai no kekahi lahuikanaka, a no kekahi aupuni, e uhuki, e wawahi, a e luku iho;
8 if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, then I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
O kela lahuikanaka a'u i hoohewa aku ai, ina i huli lakou, mai ko lakou hewa mai, alaila, e mihi no wau i ka hewa a'u i manao ai e hana ia lakou.
9 And at the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant,
A i ka wa a'u e olelo ai no kekahi lahuikanaka, a no kekahi aupuni, e kukulu, a e hookupaa;
10 if it do evil in my sight, that it hearken not unto my voice, then I will repent of the good wherewith I said I would benefit them.
Ina e hana hewa ia imua o ko'u alo, a hoolohe ole i ko'u leo, alaila, e mihi no wau i ka maikai a'u i olelo ai e hoopomaikai aku ia lakou.
11 And now, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I prepare evil against you, and devise a device against you: turn ye then every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.
Ano la hoi, e olelo aku oe i kanaka o ka Iuda, a i ka poe e noho la ma Ierusalema, e i aku, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, ke hana nei au i ka hewa ia oukou; ke noonoo nei hoi i manao ku e ia oukou. E hoi mai oukou, ano la, o kela mea, o keia mea, mai kona aoao hewa mai, a e hoomaikai i ko oukou aoao a me ka oukou hana ana.
12 But they say, There is no hope; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will each one do [according to] the stubbornness of his evil heart.
I mai la lakou, Makekewa; e hele no makou mamuli o ko makou manao iho, a e hana no kela mea keia mea o makou ma ka paakiki o kona naau hewa.
13 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Ask ye now among the nations, Who hath heard such things? The virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.
Nolaila, ko olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E ninau oukou iwaena o ko na aina e, Owai ka mea i lohe i na mea e like me ia? Ua hana no ka wahine puupaa o ka Iseraela i ka mea hoopailua loa.
14 Shall the snow of Lebanon cease from the rock of the field? Shall the cool flowing waters coming from afar be dried up?
E haalele anei ka hau ia Lebanona no na pohaku o ke kula, e kiolaia anei na wai huihui e kahe ana mai kahi e mai?
15 For my people hath forgotten me: they burn incense to vanity; and they have caused them to stumble in their ways, the ancient paths, to walk in by-paths of a way not cast up;
No ka mea, ua hoopoina ko'u poe kanaka ia'u; ua kuni lakou i ka mea ala no ka lapuwale, a ua hoohina ia lakou ma ko lakou kuamoo, na kuamoo kahiko, e hele ma na kuamoo e, ma ke kuamoo i hoouka ole ia:
16 to make their land an astonishment, a perpetual hissing: every one that passeth by shall be astonished, and shake his head.
I lilo ko lakou aina i neoneo, i mea hoowahawaha mau loa ia. E kahaha auauei na mea a pau e hele ae malaila, a e kunokunou i kona poo.
17 As with an east wind will I scatter them before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
E hoopuehu aku au ia lakou imua o ka enemi, me ka makani mai ka hikina mai; e hoike aku au ia lakou i ke kua, aole i ka maka, i ka la o ko lakou popilikia.
18 And they said, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor word from the prophet. Come and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
Alaila, olelo mai la lakou, E hele mai, e imi hala kakou no Ieremia, no ka mea, aole e haule ke kanawai i ke kahuna, aole hoi ka manao akamai i ka poe akamai, a me ka olelo hoi i ke kaula. E hele mai, e hahau kakou ia ia i ke alelo; mai hoolohe kakou i kekahi o kana mau olelo.
19 Jehovah, give heed to me, and listen to the voice of those that contend with me.
E haliu mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, a e hoolohe i ka leo o ka poe hakaka me au.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them.
E hoihoi ia anei ka hewa no ka maikai? No ka mea, ua kohi lakou i lua no ko'u ola. E hoomanao oe i ko'u ku ana imua ou, e olelo i ka maikai no lakou, e hoohuli aku i kou inaina mai o lakou aku.
21 Therefore give up their children to the famine, and deliver them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of children and be widows; and let their men be swept off by death, their young men be smitten by the sword in battle.
Nolaila, e haawi aku oe i ka lakou keiki no ka wi, a e haawi ia lakou e make i ka ikaika o ka pahikaua. E hooneleia hoi ka lakou wahine i ka lakou keiki, a lilo lakou i wahinekanemake; e haawi hoi i ko lakou poe kanaka i ka make, a me ko lakou kanaka opiopio no ka lukuia i ka pahikaua, ma ka hoouka kaua ana.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them; for they have digged a pit to take me, and have hidden snares for my feet.
E loheia ka hea ana, mai ko lakou hale mai, i ka wa au e hoopuka mai ai i poe kaua maluna o lakou me ka hoohikilele; no ka mea, ua kohi lakou i lua, e hoopaa ia'u, a ua huna lakou i pahele no kuu mau wawae.
23 And thou, Jehovah, knowest all their counsel against me to slay me. Forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee: deal with them in the time of thine anger.
Aka, ua ike no oe, e Iehova, i ko lakou manao a pau ia'u, e pepehi mai ia'u. Mai kala oe i ko lakou hala, aole hoi e holoi i ko lakou hewa, mai kou alo aku; aka, e hoohiolo ia lakou imua ou. E hana oe pela ia lakou, i ka manawa o kou inaina.
