< Jeremiah 1 >
1 Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
NA olelo a Ieremia, ke keiki a Hilikia, no na kahuna ma Anetota, ma ka aina o ka Beniamina:
2 to whom the word of YHWH has been in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
Hiki mai no ka olelo a Iehova io na la, i na la o Iosia i ke keiki a Amona, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka makahiki umikumamakolu o kona noho aupuni ana:
3 and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the expulsion of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
A i na la o Iehoikima ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a hiki i ka pau ana o ka makahiki umikumakahi o Zedekia ke keiki o Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a hiki i ka lawe pio ia ana aku o ko Ierusalema, i ka lima o ka malama.
4 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
5 “Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come forth from the womb I have separated you; I have made you a prophet to the nations.”
Mamua aku o ka'u hana ana ia oe iloko o ka opu, ike aku no au ia oe; a mamua aku o kou puka ana mawaho mai o ka opu, hoolaa aku au ia oe, a hoolilo no au ia oe i kaula no na lahuikanaka.
6 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth.”
Alaila, i iho la au, Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova! aia hoi, aole au i ike i ka olelo, no ka mea, he keiki no wau.
7 And YHWH says to me, “Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send you—go, and all that I command you—speak.
Aka, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Mai olelo oe, He keiki no wau; no ka mea, e hele aku no oe i ka poe a pau a'u e hoouna aku ai ia oe, a o ka mea a'u e kauoha aku ai ia oe, o kau ia e olelo aku ai.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you,” a declaration of YHWH.
Mai makau i ko lakou maka; no ka mea, owau pu no me oe, e hoopakele ia oe, wahi a Iehova.
9 And YHWH puts forth His hand, and strikes against my mouth, and YHWH says to me, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
Hohola mai o Iehova i kona lima, a hoopa iho la i ko'u waha; a olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Aia hoi, ua haawi aku au i ka'u mau olelo iloko o kou waha.
10 See, I have charged you this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.”
E nana hoi, ua hoolilo wau ia oe i keia la, maluna o na lahuikanaka a me na aupuni, e uhuki, a e wawahi, a e luku, a e hoohiolo, e kukulu, a e kanu no hoi.
11 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “I am seeing a rod of an almond tree.”
A hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la, E Ieremia, heaha kau e ike nei? I aku la au, ke ike nei au i kookoo o ka laau alamona.
12 And YHWH says to me, “You have seen well: for I am watching over My word to do it.”
Alaila, i mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ua pono kou ike ana; no ka mea, e kiai no wau i ka'u olelo, e hooko ia.
13 And there is a word of YHWH to me a second time, saying, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I am seeing a blown pot, and its face [is] from the north.”
Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, o ka lua ia, i mai la, Heaha kau e ike nei? I aku la au, Ke ike nei au i ka ipuhao e lapalapa ana, a mai ke kukuluakau mai ka huli ana o ka waha.
14 And YHWH says to me, “From the north the evil is loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Mai ke kukuluakau mai e puka mai ai ka hewa maluna o ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ka aina.
15 For behold, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north,” a declaration of YHWH, “And they have come, and each put his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls all around, and by all cities of Judah.
No ka mea, aia hoi, e hea aku no wau i na ohana a pau o na aupuni ma ke kukuluakau, wahi a Iehova; a e hele mai no lakou, a e hoonoho kela mea keia mea o lakou i kona nohoalii ma kahi e komo aku ai i na pukapa o Ierusalema, a ma na pa a pau e puni ana ia wahi, a ma na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Iuda.
16 And I have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, and bow themselves to the works of their own hands.
A e hai aku no au i ko'u hoopai ana ia lakou, no ko lakou hewa a pau, i ka poe i haalele mai ia'u, a i kuni i ka mea ala no na'kua e, a hoomana i ka hana a ko lakou lima iho.
17 And you, you gird up your loins, and have arisen, and spoken to them all that I command you: do not be frightened because of them, lest I frighten you before them.
Nolaila, e kakoo oe i kou puhaka, a e ku mai, a e olelo ia lakou i na mea a pau a'u e kauoha aku ai ia oe. Mai makau oe i ko lakou maka, o hoohilahila aku au ia oe imua o lakou.
18 And I, behold, have given you this day for a fortified city, and for an iron pillar, and for bronze walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;
No ka mea, aia hoi, ua hana aku au ia oe i keia la i kulanakauhale paa, a i kia hao, a i mau pa keleawe no ka aina a pau, a no na alii o ka Iuda, a no ko lakou mau luna, a no ko lakou mau kahuna, a no na kanaka o ka aina.
19 and they have fought against you, and they do not prevail against you; for I [am] with you,” a declaration of YHWH, “to deliver you.”
A e kaua mai no lakou ia oe, aole nae lakou e lanakila maluna ou, no ka mea, owau pu no me oe, e hoopakele ia oe, wahi a Iehova.
