< Jeremiah 19 >
1 This is what the Lord says: Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests with you,
KE olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, O hele e kii aku i hue lepo o ka potera, a i poe kahiko o na kanaka, a i poe kahiko o na kahuna;
2 and go through the Broken Pottery Gate to the valley of Ben-hinnom. Announce this message I'm giving you.
A e hele aku i ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, aia no ia ma kahi e komo ai i ka puka hikina: a e kala aku oe malaila, i na olelo a'u e hai aku ai ia oe;
3 Tell them, Listen to what the Lord says, kings of Judah and people living in Jerusalem. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring down on this place such a disaster that it will make the ears of anyone who hears about it ring.
E i aku, E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e na'lii o ka Iuda, a me ka poe e noho ana ma Ierusalema. Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela: Aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau i ka hewa maluna o keia wahi; e kani no na pepeiao o na mea a pau e lohe ia mea.
4 My people have deserted me and have made this a place where foreign gods are worshiped. They have burned incense in it to other gods that they and their forefathers and the kings of Judah never knew anything about. They have filled this place with the blood of innocent people.
No ka mea, ua haalele lakou ia'u, a ua hoowahawaha i keia wahi, a ua kuni i ka mea aia malaila, no na akua e, i na mea ike ole ia e lakou, a me ko lakou mau makua, a me na'lii o ka Iuda, a ua hoopiha lakou i keia wahi, i ke koko o ka poe hewa ole.
5 They have built pagan shrines to Baal where they burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal. This is something I never commanded or even mentioned. I never even thought of such a thing!
Ua hana hoi lakou i na wahi kiekie o Baala, e puhi i ka lakou keikikane i ke ahi, i mohai kuni no Baala, ka mea a'u i kauoha ole ai, aole hoi i olelo, aole hoi i komo ia iloko o ko'u naau.
6 So watch out! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when instead of Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom this place will be called the Valley of Killing.
Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, e kapa hou ole ia'i keia wahi o Topeta, aole hoi ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, aka, o ke awawa o ka pepehi.
7 Right here in this place I'm going to spoil the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will let their enemies who want to kill them come and do exactly that. Their dead bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals.
A e hooki aku au ma keia wahi i ka manao akamai o ka Iuda, a me Ierusalema; a na'u no lakou e hoohina i ka pahikaua, imua o ko lakou poe enemi, a i ka lima hoi oka poe i imi i ko lakou ola. A e haawi no wau i ko lakou kupapau i mea ai, na na manu o ka lani, a na na holoholona o ka honua.
8 I'm going to make this city desolate, a place that is mocked. Everyone who passes by will be horrified, shocked by all its damage.
A e hoolilo wau i keia kulanakauhale i neoneo, a i mea hoowahawaha; o na mea a pau e hele ae, e kahaha no lakou, a e hoowahawaha mai no kona wawahiia a pau.
9 The siege brought by their enemies who want to kill them will be so terrible that I will make them eat each other, even their own sons and daughters.
A na'u no e hanai aku ia lakou i ka io o ka lakou mau keikikane, a me ka io o ka lakou mau kaikamahine, a e ai no kela mea keia mea i ka io o kona hoalauna maloko o ka ikiiki, a me ka pilikia o ko lakou poe enemi, a me ka poe i imi i ko lakou ola, e hoopilikia mai ai ia lakou.
10 Then smash the jar in front of the people with you.
Alaila, e wawahi oe i ka hue imua o na maka o na kanaka i hele pu me oe;
11 Tell them: this is what the Lord Almighty says: I'm going to smash this nation and this city, just like a clay jar is smashed so it can't ever be repaired. People will bury their dead in Topheth until it's full.
A e i aku oe ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, Pela no wau e wawahi ai i keia poe kanaka, a me keia kulanakauhale, e like me ka wawahiia o ka ipu a ka potera, ka mea hiki ole ke kapili hou ia; a e kanu no hoi lakou ma Topeta, a e kaanwale ole kahi e kanu ai.
12 This is what I'm going to do to this place and to the people who live here, declares the Lord. I will turn this city into Topheth.
Pela no wau e hana'i i keia wahi, wahi a Iehova, a i kona poe e noho ana, a e hoohalike i keia kulanakauhale me Topeta.
13 All the houses of Jerusalem and the palaces of the kings of Judah will become unclean just like Topheth, because they are all the houses whose rooftops they used to burn incense to the sun, moon, and stars, and poured out drink offerings to other gods.
A o na hale o Ierusalema, a me na hale o na'lii o ka Iuda, e haumia auanei lakou, e like me kahi o Topeta, no ka mea, maluna o na hale a pau, ua puhi lakou i ka mea ala, no na hoku a pau o ka lani, a ua ninini aku i na mohaiinu no na akua e.
14 Jeremiah returned from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to deliver this message. He went and stood in the court of the Lord's Temple and announced to everyone,
Alaila, hele mai la o Ieremia, mai Topeta mai, kahi a Iehova i hoouna aku ai ia ia e wanana; a ku mai la oia ma ke kahua o ka hale o Iehova, a i mai la i na kanaka a pau,
15 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Watch out! I am about to bring down on this city and on all its surrounding villages every disaster I warned them about, because they have stubbornly refused to listen to what I say.
Ke i mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, Aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau maluna o keia kulanakauhale, a maluna o kona mau kauhale a pau, i ka hewa a pau a'u i hai aku ai nona; no ka mea, ua hoopaakiki lakou i ko lakou a-i, i mea e hoolohe ole ai lakou i ka'u mau olelo.
