< Jeremiah 7 >

1 This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
O KA olelo keia i hiki mai ai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, i mai la.
2 Go and stand in the entrance to the Lord's Temple, and deliver this message: Listen to what Lord has to say, all of you from Judah who are coming in through these gates to worship 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 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel says: Change your ways and do what's right, and I'll let you go on living here.
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 Don't believe in those who try and deceive you by repeating, “The Temple of the Lord is here, the Temple of the Lord is here, the Temple of the Lord is here.”
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 If you sincerely change your ways and do what's right, if you treat each other fairly,
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 stop mistreating foreigners and orphans and widows, and if you stop murdering innocent people and stop hurting yourselves by worshiping,
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'll let you go on living here in the country that I gave to your forefathers forever and ever.
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 But look at you! You go on believing in these deceptions, these worthless words.
Aia hoi, ke hilinai nei no oukou i na wahahee hope ole.
9 Are you really going to continue stealing, murdering, committing adultery, and lying, burning incense to Baal, and worshiping other gods that you know nothing about,
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 then come and stand before me in my own Temple and say, “We're safe, so we can continue doing all these offensive things”?
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 Do you see this house, my own Temple, as a den of thieves? Well, that's what it looks like to me too, declares 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 So why don't you go to Shiloh where I first made myself a place for me to live with you, and see what I did to it because of the evil my people Israel did?
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 I've warned you time and again about all these things you've done but you've refused to listen, declares the Lord. I've called out to you but you didn't want to answer me.
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 So now I'm going to do to my Temple, what I did to Shiloh. This is the Temple your put your faith in, the place I gave to you and your forefathers.
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 I will throw you out of my presence, just as I expelled all your Israelite relatives, all the descendants 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 You, Jeremiah, are not to pray for these people. Don't cry out to me in prayer for them, don't plead with me on their behalf, because I won't listen to 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 Can't you see how they're behaving in the towns 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 children collect the firewood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven, and they pour out drink offerings to other gods to make me angry and hurt.
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 is it really me they're hurting? declares the Lord. Aren't they really hurting themselves and bringing shame on themselves?
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 So this is what the Lord God says: Watch! My furious anger and will be poured out on this country, on people and animals, on the orchards and the crops in the field. It will burn and nobody will be able to put it out.
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 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You can add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat all the meat yourselves!
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 When I led your forefathers out of Egypt I didn't just give them instructions about burnt offerings and sacrifices,
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 This is the commandment I gave them: Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Follow everything I have commanded you to do, so that all will go well for 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 refused to listen or pay attention. Instead they followed the desires of their own stubborn and evil thinking, so they ended up going 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 time your forefathers left Egypt until now, I have sent you time after time my servants the prophets.
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 you refused to listen or pay them attention. Instead, you became more stubborn and rebellious than your forefathers!
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 When you tell them all this, they won't listen to you. When you call out to them, they won't answer.
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 So you have to tell them, “This is the nation that refused to listen to what the Lord their God said, and would not accept the Lord's discipline. Truth has died out; people don't even talk about it.
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 throw it away. Sing a song of mourning on the bare hills, for the Lord has rejected and abandoned the generation who made him angry.”
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 people of Judah have done what is evil in my sight, declares the Lord. They have placed their offensive idols in my own Temple, making it unclean.
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 They have built pagan shrines at Topheth in the Valley of Hinnom so they could sacrifice their sons and daughters by burning them in the fire. This is something I never commanded. I never even thought of such a thing!
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 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. People will bury their dead in Topheth until it's full.
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 The dead bodies of these people will be food for birds of prey and wild animals, and there won't be anyone to scare 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 I will put a stop to the cheerful sounds of celebration and the happy voices of the bride and bridegroom from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, for the country will be turned into a wasteland.
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.
