< Jeremias 3 >

1 If a man put away his wife, and she depart from him, and become another man's, shall she return to him any more at all? shall not that woman be utterly defiled? you you have gone a-whoring with many shepherds, and have returned to me, says the Lord.
KE olelo nei lakou, Iua kipaku ke kane i kana wahine, a hele aku oia, mai ona aku la, a lilo na ke kanaka e, e hoi hou anei kela ia ia? Aole anei e hoohaumia loa ia kela aina? Ua moe kolohe no nae oe me na ipo he nui loa: aka, e hoi hou mai oe ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
2 Lift up your eyes [to look] straight forward, and see where you have not been utterly defiled. You have sat for them by the wayside as a deserted crow, and have defiled the land with your fornications and your wickedness.
E alawa oe i kou mau maka iluna, a i na wahi kiekie. a e nana hoi i kahi i moe ole ia'i oe. Ma na alanui, ua noho kakali oe ia lakou, e like me ko Arabia ma ka waunahele; a ua hoohaumia oe i ka aina, i kou moe kolohe ana, a i kou haua hewa ana.
3 And you did retain many shepherds for a stumbling block to yourself: you had a whore's face, you did become shameless toward all.
Noliala, ua kaohiia ka ua, aole hoi i hiki mai ka ua hope ana. Aia no ia oe ka maka o ka wahine hookamakama; hoole no oe, aole oe e hoopalaimaka.
4 Hast you not called me as it were a home, and the father and guide of your virgin-time?
Mai keia manawa aku, aole anei oe e hea mai ia'u, E kuu makua, o oe no ke alakai o ko'u wa opiopio?
5 Will [God's anger] continue for ever, or be preserved to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done these bad things, and had power [to do them].
E hoomauhala mau loa anei oia? E hoomauhala anei oia, a hiki i ka hopena? Aia hoi, ua olelo oe a ua hana hoi oe i na mea hewa me kou ikaika a pau.
6 And the Lord said to me in the days of Josias the king, Hast you seen what things the house of Israel has done to me? they have gone on every high mountain, and under every shady tree, and have committed fornication there.
Olelo mai no hoi o Iehova ia'u, i na la ia Iosia, i ke alii, Ua ike anei oe i ka mea a ka Iseraela hoihope i hana'i? Ua hele no oia maluna o na mauna kiekie a pau, a malalo o na laau uliuli a paa, a malaila i moe kolohe ai.
7 And I said after she had committed all these acts of fornication, Turn again to me. Yet she returned not. And faithless Juda saw her faithlessness.
A i aku la au, mahope o kana hana ana i keia mau mea a pau, E hali mai oe. ia'u. Aole ia i huli mai, Ike ae la kona kaikuaana kipi, o ka Iuda.
8 And I saw that (for all the sins of which she was convicted, wherein the house of Israel committed adultery, and I put her away, and gave into her hands a bill of divorcement, ) yet faithless Juda feared not, but went and herself also committed fornication.
A ike aku la au, a kipaku aku au i ka Iseraela no ka moe kolohe aua, a haawi ia ia i ka palapala hoohemo; alaila, aole i makau kona kaikuaana kipi, o ka Iuda, hele aku no hoi ia, a moe kolohe iho la.
9 And her fornication was nothing accounted of; and she committed adultery with wood and stone.
A no ka kaulana o kona moe kolohe ana, hoohaumia iho la oia i ka aina, a moe kolohe no me ka pohaku, a me ka laau.
10 And for all these things faithless Juda turned not to me with all her heart, but falsely.
Aka, no keia mau mea a pau, aole i huli mai kona kaikuaana kipi ia'u me kona naau a pau, aka, me ka wahahee, wahi a Iehova.
11 And the Lord said to me, Israel has justified himself more than faithless Juda.
A olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u. Ua hoapono ka Iseraela hoihope ia ia iho, mamua o ka Iuda kipi.
12 Go and read these words toward the north, and you shall say, Return to me, O house of Israel, says the Lord; and I will not set my face against you: for I am merciful, says the Lord, and I will not be angry with you for ever.
O hele, e kala aku i keia mau olelo ma ke kukulu akau, a e i aku, E hoi mai, e ka Iseraela hoihope, wahi a Iehova; aole hoi au e hookau aku i ko'u ukiuki maluna o oukou; no ka mea, ua lokomaikai au, wahi a Iehova, aole hoi au e hoomauhala mau loa.
13 Nevertheless, know your iniquity, that you have sinned against the Lord your God, and have scattered your ways to strangers under every shady tree, but you did not listen to my voice, says the Lord.
E hai wale mai hoi oe i kou hewa, i kau hana hewa ana ia Iehova i kou Akua, a ua lulu aku oe i kou mau aoao i na malihini, malalo o na laau uliuli a pau, aole hoi oukou i hooloho i ko'u leo, wahi a Iehova.
14 Turn, you children that have revolted, says the Lord; for I will rule over you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you in to Sion:
E huli mai, e na keiki hoihope, wahi a Iehova, no ka mea, ua mareia au nau: a e lawe no au ia oukou, i hookahi o ke kulanakauhale hookahi, a i elua o ka hale hookahi, a e lawe no au ia oukou i Ziona.
15 and I will give you shepherds after my heart, and they shall certainly tend you with knowledge.
A e haawi no au ia oukou i poe kahu mamuli o'ko'u naau, nana e hanai ia oukou i ka ike, a me ka naauao.
16 And it shall come to pass that when you are multiplied and increased upon the land, says the Lord, in those days they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Holy One of Israel: it shall not come to mind; it shall not be named; neither shall it be visited; nor shall [this] be done any more.
A hiki aku i ka manawa e nui ai oukou, a mahuahua ma ka aina, ia mau la, wahi a Iehova, aole lakou e olelo hou, O ka pahu o ka berita o Iehova; aole hoi e komo ia iloko o ka naau, aole lakou e hoomanao ia mea, aole lakou e hele e ike, aole hoi e hana hou ia ia mea.
17 In those days and at that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered to it: and they shall not walk any more after the imaginations of their evil heart.
Ia manawa, e kapa no lakou ia Ierusalema, o ka nohoalii o Iehova; a e hoakoakoaia mai ko na aina a pau imua ona, i ka inoa o Iehova i Ierusalema; aole hoi lakou e hele hou mamuli o ka paakiki o ka naau hewa.
18 In those days the house of Juda, shall come together to the house of Israel, and they shall come, together, from the land of the north, and from all the countries, to the land, which I caused their fathers to inherit.
Ia mau la, e hele pu no ko ka hale o ka Iuda, me ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, a e hele pu mai no lakou mai ka aina o ka akau mai, a i ka aina au i haawi aku ai i aina hooili no kou poe makua.
19 And I said, So be it, Lord, for [you said] I will set you among children, and will give you a choice land, the inheritance of the Almighty God of the Gentiles: and I said, You shall call me Father; and you shall not turn away from me.
Aka, i iho la au, Pehea la au e waiho ai ia oe iwaena o na keiki, a haawi hoi ia oe i ka aina maikai i aina hooili nani o na pae aina? A olelo aku la au, E kapa mai oukou ia'u, o Ko'u Makua, aole hoi e huli mai o'u aku nei.
20 But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against me, says the Lord.
Oiaio, e like me ka wahine haalele ino i kana kane, pela oukou i haalele ino mai ai ia'u, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, wahi a Iehova.
21 A voice from the lips was heard, [even] of weeping and supplication of the children of Israel: for they have dealt unrighteously in their ways, they have forgotten God their Holy One.
Ua loheia ka Ieo maluna o na wahi kiekie, o ka uwe ana, e me ka nonoi ana a na mamo a Iseraela; a ua hookekee lakou i ko lakou aoao, a ua hoopoina lakou ia Iehova i ko lakou Akua.
22 Turn, you children that are given to turning, and I will heal your bruises. Behold, we will be your servants; for you are the Lord our God.
E hoi mai oukou, e na keiki hoihope, a e hoola no wau i ko oukou hoihope ana. Aia hoi, ke hele mai nei makou iou la, no ka mea, o oe no o Iehova, o ko makou Akua.
23 Truly the hills and the strength of the mountains were a lying refuge: but by the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
He oiaio, he mea wahahee na mea o na mauna mai, a no na kuahiwi lehulehu mai: He oiaio, maloko o Iehova, o ko makou Akua, ke ola o ka Iseraela.
24 But shame has consumed the labors of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their calves, and their sons and their daughters.
Na ka hilahila i hoopau i na hana a ko makou poe makua, mai ko makou wa uuku mai, i ko lakou hipa, a me ko lakou hipi, a me ka lakou keikikane, a me ka lakou kaikamahine.
25 We have lain down in our shame, and our disgrace has covered us: because we and our fathers have sinned before our God, from our youth until this day; and we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God.
Ke moe nei makou ilalo iloko o ko makou hilahila, a ua uhiia makou i ko makou palaimaka; no ka mea, ua hana hewa aku makou ia Iehova i ko makou Akua, o makou, a me ko makou poe makua, mai ko makou wa opiopio, a hiki loa mai nei i keia la, aole hoi i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova, ko makou Akua.
