Jeremiah 4
1 O Israel, if thou returne, returne vnto me, saith the Lord: and if thou put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remoue.
I NA e hoi mai oe ia'u, e ka Iseraela, wahi a Iehova, e hoi mai no; a ina e hoolei oe i kou mau mea e hoopailua ai, mai ko'u alo aku, alaila aole oe e aea.
2 And thou shalt sweare, The Lord liueth in trueth, in iudgement, and in righteousnesse, and the nations shall be blessed in him, and shall glorie in him.
A e hoohiki no oe, ke ola la no o Iehova ma ka oiaio, a ma ka pono, a ma ka maikai; a e hoopomaikai ko na aina ia lakou iho ma ona la, a ma ona la lakou e kaena'i.
3 For thus saith the Lord to the men of Iudah, and to Ierusalem,
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova i na kanaka o ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema, E waele oukou i ko oukou mahinaai, mai kanu oukou iwaena o na kakalaioa.
4 Breake vp your fallowe ground, and sowe not among the thornes: be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskinnes of your hearts, ye men of Iudah, and inhabitants of Ierusalem, lest my wrath come foorth like fire, and burne, that none can quenche it, because of the wickednesse of your inuentions.
E okipoepoe ia oukou iho no Iehova, a e lawe aku oukou i ka omaka o ko oukou naau, e na kanaka o ka Iuda, a me ka poe noho ma Ierusalema, o puka mai ko'u ukiuki e like me ke ahi, a a hoi, aohe mea e hiki ke hoopio, no ka hewa o ka oukou hana ana.
5 Declare in Iudah, and shewe forth in Ierusalem, and say, Blowe the trumpet in the lande: cry, and gather together, and say, Assemble your selues, and let vs goe into strong cities.
E hai aku oukou maloko o ka Iuda, a o kala aku hoi ma Ierusalema; a e i aku, E puhi oukou i ka pu ma ka aina; e kala aku, e hoonui i ka leo, a e i aku, E hoakoakoa oukou, a e komo aku kakou iloko o na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa.
6 Set vp the standart in Zion: prepare to flee, and stay not: for I will bring a plague from the North, and a great destruction.
E kau i ka hae ma Ziona, e hoikaika aku hoi, mai ku malie; no ka mea, e lawe mai no wau i ka hewa, mai ke kukuluakau mai, a i ka make nui loa hoi.
7 The lyon is come vp from his denne, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is departed, and gone forth of his place to lay thy land waste, and thy cities shalbe destroyed without an inhabitant.
Ua pii mai ka liona, mai kona ululaau mai; ke hele mai la hoi ka mea luku i na aina; ua puka aku oia, mai kona wahi aku e hoolilo i kou aina i neoneo; a e anaiia kou mau kulanakauhale, aohe mea koe e noho ana.
8 Wherefore girde you with sackecloth: lament, and howle, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is not turned backe from vs.
No keia mea, e komo oukou i ka lole ino e kumakena, a e aoa hoi; no ka mea, aole i huli aku ka ukiuki o ke Akua, mai o kakou aku.
9 And in that day, saith the Lord, the heart of the King shall perish, and the heart of the princes and the Priestes shall be astonished, and the Prophets shall wonder.
A hiki aku i kela la, wahi a Iehova, e maule auanei ka naau o ke alii, a me ka naau o na luna; e pilihua hoi na kahuna, a e weliweli na kaula.
10 Then saide I, Ah, Lord God, surely thou hast deceiued this people and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall haue peace, and the sworde perceth vnto the heart.
A i aku la au, Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova! he oiaio, ua alakai hewa loa oe i keia poe kanaka, a me ko Ierusalema, i ka i ana mai, E loaa auanei ia oukou ka malu; aka, ua komo ka pahikaua iloko o ka uhane.
11 At that time shall it bee saide to this people and to Ierusalem, A dry winde in the hie places of the wildernes commeth towarde ye daughter of my people, but neither to fanne nor to clense.
I kela manawa, e oleloia mai a keia poe kanaka, a i ko Ierusalema, He makani wela no na wahi kiekie mai o ka waonahale, ma ke ala o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, aole no ka hoomaikai, a me ka hoomaemae.
12 A mightie winde shall come vnto me from those places, and nowe will I also giue sentence vpon them.
He makani ikaika ka i hele mai ia'u, mai ia mau wahi mai: ano hoi au e hooponopono ia lakou.
13 Beholde, he shall come vp as the cloudes, and his charets shalbe as a tempest: his horses are lighter then eagles. Woe vnto vs, for wee are destroyed.
Aia hoi, e pii mai no ia e like me na ao, a e like auanei kona mau kaakaua me ka puahiohio; ua oi aku ka mama o kona mau lio mamua o ko na aeto. Auwe kakou, no ka mea, ua anaiia kakou!
14 O Ierusalem, wash thine heart from wickednes, that thou maiest be saued: how long shall thy wicked thoughtes remaine within thee?
E Ierusalema e, holoi oe i kou naau, i pau ka hewa, i hoolaia hoi oe. Pohea la ka loihi o ka noho ana o na manao lapuwale iloko ou?
15 For a voyce declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
No ka mea, ke hai mai nei ka leo, mai Dana mai, a hoolaha mai hoi i ka lohe i ka popilikia, mai ka mauna o Epaeraima mai.
16 Make ye mention of the heathen, and publish in Ierusalem, Beholde, the skoutes come from a farre countrey, and crie out against the cities of Iudah.
E hoikeike i ko na aina: aia hoi, e hai aku no Ierusalema, ua hiki mai ka poe kiai, mai ka aina mamao aku mai, a hoonui hoi lakou i ka leo ku e i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda.
17 They haue compassed her about as the watchmen of the fielde, because it hath prouoked me to wrath, saith the Lord.
E like me ka poe kiai i ka mahinaai, pela no lakou e ku e nei ia wahi a puni: no ka mea, ua kipi mai oia ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
18 Thy wayes and thine inuentions haue procured thee these things, such is thy wickednesse: therefore it shall be bitter, therefore it shall perce vnto thine heart.
Na kou aoao, a me kau hana ana i hookau mai i keia mau mea maluna ou; nou no keia hewa, he walania hoi ia, no ka mea, ua komo loa no iloko o kou naau.
19 My bely, my bely, I am pained, euen at the very heart: mine heart is troubled within me: I cannot be still: for my soule hath heard the sounde of the trumpet, and the alarme of the battell.
O kuu opu, o kuu opu! Ua hookaawiliia au ma kuu naau; ke kani nei ko'u naau iloko o'u. Aole au e noho ekemu ole, no ka mea, ua lohe oe, e kuu uhane, i ke kani ana o ka pu, a me ka hooho o ke kaua.
20 Destruction vpon destruction is cryed, for the whole lande is wasted: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtaines in a moment.
Ua heaia ka make maluna o ka make, no ka mea, ua anaiia ka aina a pau. Ua luku hoohikilele ia ko'u mau halelewa, a me ko'u mau paku hoi, ma ka minute.
21 Howe long shall I see the standert, and heare the sounde of the trumpet?
Pehea la ka loihi o ko'u ike ana i ka hae, a lohe hoi i ke kani ana o ka pu?
22 For my people is foolish, they haue not knowen me: they are foolish children, and haue none vnderstanding: they are wise to doe euill, but to doe well they haue no knowledge.
No ka mea, ua lapuwale ko'u poe kanaka, aole lakou i ike mai ia'u; he poe kamalii lapuwale, aohe o lakou naauao. He akamai lakou i ka hana hewa; aka, aole o lakou ike i ka hana maikai.
23 I haue looked vpon the earth, and loe, it was without forme and voide: and to the heauens, and they had no light.
Nana ae la au i ka honua, aia hoi, ua neoneo, a olohelohe hoi; i ka lani kekahi, aohe ona malamalama.
24 I behelde the mountaines: and loe, they trembled and all the hilles shooke.
Nana ae la au i na kuahiwi, aia hoi, haalulu lakou, a naka iho la na mauna a pau.
25 I behelde, and loe, there was no man, and all the birdes of the heauen were departed.
Nana aku la au, aia hoi, aohe kanaka, a ua hee aku la na manu a pau o ka laui.
26 I behelde, and loe, the fruitfull place was a wildernesse, and all the cities thereof were broken downe at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce wrath.
Nana aku la au, aia hoi, o kahi i nui ka ai, ua waonahele; a ua hoohioloia kolaila kulanakauhale a pau imua o ke alo o Iehova, imua hoi o koua ukiuki nui.
27 For thus hath the Lord saide, The whole lande shall be desolate: yet will I not make a full ende.
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E neoneo auanei ka aina a pau; aole nae au e hooki loa i na wahi.
28 Therefore shall the earth mourne, and the heauens aboue shall be darkened, because I haue pronounced it: I haue thought it, and will not repent, neither will I turne backe from it.
No keia mea, e kumakena'i ka honua, a e pouli hoi na lani maluna, no ka mea, ua olelo no wau, ua paa kuu manao, aole hoi au e mihi ana, aole au e huli, mai ia manao aku.
29 The whole citie shall flee, for the noyse of the horsemen and bowemen: they shall goe into thickets, and clime vp vpon the rockes: euery citie shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
E auhee no ke kulanakauhale a pau, no ka walaau o na hololio, a me na kanaka kakaka. E holo no lakou iloko o ka ululaau, a e pii hoi maluna o na pohaku; e haaleleia no kela kulanakauhale, keia kulanakauhale, aole kanaka e noho ana iloko.
30 And when thou shalt be destroyed, what wilt thou doe? Though thou clothest thy selfe with skarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of golde, though thou paintest thy face with colours, yet shalt thou trimme thy selfe in vaine: for thy louers will abhorre thee and seeke thy life.
A anaiia oe, pehea la oe e hana'i? Ina paha e hoaahu oe ia oe i ka mea ula, a kahiko hoi oe ia oe i na kahiko gula, a ina paha e nahae kou mau maka i ka pena, make hewa no kou hoomaikai ana ia oe; e hoowahawaha mai no kou mau ipo ia oe, e imi no lakou e hoopau i kou ola.
31 For I haue heard a noyse as of a woman trauailing, or as one labouring of her first child, euen the voyce of the daughter Zion that sigheth and stretcheth out her handes: woe is me nowe: for my soule fainteth because of the murtherers.
No ka mea, ua lohe no au i ka leo, e like me ko ka wahine e hanau keiki ana, a i ke kuakoko, e like me ko ka wahine i hanau i kana hiapo, i ka leo hoi o ke kaikamahine o Ziona e kumakena ana ia ia iho, e hohola ana hoi i kona mau lima, me ka olelo iho, Auwe au ano! no ka mea, ua paupauaho kuu uhane no ka poe pepehi kanaka.
