Jeremiah 2
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
A HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 “Go, and you have called in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said YHWH: I have remembered for you The kindness of your youth, the love of your espousals, Your going after Me in a wilderness, in a land not sown.
O hele, e kala ma na pepeiao o ko Ierusalema, e i aku, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei, Ua hoomanao aku au ia oe, i ka lokomaikai o kou wa opiopio, i ke aloha o kou wa i mare hou ia'i, i kou hahai ana mamuli o'u maloko o ka waonahele, ma ka aina i lulu ole ia.
3 Israel [is] holy to YHWH, The first-fruit of His increase, All consuming him are guilty, Calamity comes to them,” A declaration of YHWH.
Ua laa no ka Iseraela no Iehova, a me na hua mua o kona mea ulu. O na mea a pau i hoopau ia ia, ua hewa no lakou; e hiki mai no ka hewa maluna o lakou, wahi a Iehova.
4 Hear a word of YHWH, O house of Jacob, And all you families of the house of Israel—
E hoolohe mai oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e ko ka hale o Iakoba, a me na ohana a pau o ka hale o ka Iseraela.
5 Thus said YHWH: “What perversity have your fathers found in Me, That they have gone far off from Me, And go after vanity, and become vain,
Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Heaha ka hewa i loaa i ko oukou mau makua iloko o'u, i hele loihi aku ai lakou mai o'u aku nei, a ua hele hoi mamuli o ka lapuwale, a ua lilo lakou i mea lapuwale?
6 And have not said, Where [is] YHWH, Who brings us up out of the land of Egypt, Who leads us in a wilderness, In a land of deserts and pits, In a dry land, and of death-shade, In a land that none has passed through, Nor has man dwelt there?
Aole hoi lakou i ninau iho, Auhea o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai ia kakou, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a alakai hoi ia kakou maoko o ka waonahele, maloko hoi o ka aina i paapu i na auakua, a me na lua, mawaena hoi o ka aina maloo, a me ke aka o ka make, mawaena o ka aina i hele ole ia e kanaka, a noho ole ia hoi e ke kanaka?
7 Indeed, I bring you into a land of fruitful fields, To eat its fruit and its goodness, And you come in and defile My land, And have made My inheritance an abomination.
A lawe mai au ia oukou maloko o ka aina ai nui i ai oukou i kolaila hua, a me kolaila maikai. Aka, i ko oukou komo ana, hoohaumia oukou i ko'u aina, a hoolilo hoi i ko'u hooilina i mea e hoopailua ai.
8 The priests have not said, Where [is] YHWH? And those handling the Law have not known Me. And the shepherds transgressed against Me, And the prophets have prophesied by Ba‘al, And have gone after those who do not profit.
Aole i olelo na kahuna, Auhea o Iehova? A o ka poe hoi i lawelawe ma ke kanawai, aole lakou i ike mai ia'u. A hana hewa mai no hoi ia'u ka poe kahu, a ao mai no hoi na kaula ma Baala, a hahai no hoi lakou mamuli o na mea kokua ole.
9 Therefore, I yet plead with you,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I plead with your sons’ sons.
Nolaila, e paio aku au ia oukou, wahi a Iehova, a e paio aku no hoi au i na keiki a ka oukou keiki.
10 For pass to the islands of Chittim and see, And send to Kedar and consider well, And see if there has been [anything] like this:
E hele ae hoi ma na aina o Kitima, a e nana; a e hoouna aku hoi i Kedara, a e noonoo pono, a ike, ina paha he mea like me ia.
11 Has a nation changed gods? (And they [are] no gods!) And My people has changed its glory For that which does not profit.
Ua hoololi ae nei anei he lahuikanaka i na'kua, i na mea akua ole? Aka, ua hoololi ae nei no ko'u poe kanaka i ko lakou nani i mea kokua ole.
12 Be astonished, you heavens, at this, Indeed, be frightened, be greatly desolated,” A declaration of YHWH.
E kahaha mai, e na lani i keia, a e weliweli loa hoi, e lilo oukou i neoneo loa hoi, wahi a Iehova.
13 “For My people have done two evils, They have forsaken Me, a fountain of living waters, To hew out for themselves wells—broken wells, That do not contain the waters.
No ka mea, ua hana ko'u poe kanaka i na hewa elua; ua haalele mai lakou ia'u, i ke kumu wai ola, a ua eli lakou i na luawai, i na luawai nahaha, aole e paa ka wai maloko.
14 [Is] Israel a servant? Is he a child of the house? Why has he been for a prey?
He mea hooluhiia anei o Iseraela? he kauwa i hanau ohua ia? No ke aha la ia i lilo ai i ka haoia?
15 Young lions roar against him, They have given forth their voice, And make his land become a desolation, His cities have been burned without inhabitant.
Uwo mai la na liona hou ia ia, a hoonui aku hoi i ko lakou leo, a hooneoneo iho la i kona aina. Ua pau i ka wela kona mau kulanakauhale, aohe mea e noho ana.
16 Also sons of Noph and Tahapanes Consume you—the crown of the head!
Ua hoopau no hoi na keiki o Nopa, a me Tahapanesa i kou piko poo.
17 Do you not do this to yourself? [By] your forsaking your God YHWH, At the time He is leading you in the way?
Aole anei nau iho i hana i keia maluna ou, i kou haalele ana ia Iehova, i kou Akua, ia ia i alakai aku ai ia oe ma ke ala?
18 And now, why do you [go] in the way of Egypt, To drink the waters of Sihor? And why do you [go] in the way of Asshur, To drink the waters of the River?
Heaha hoi kau ma ka aoao o Aigupita, e inu ai i na wai o Sihora? Heaha hoi kau ma ka aoao o Asuria, e inu ai i na wai o ka muliwai?
19 Your wickedness instructs you, And your backslidings reprove you, Know and see that an evil and a bitter thing [is] your forsaking your God YHWH, And My fear not being on you,” A declaration of Lord YHWH of Hosts.
Na kou hewa iho no e paipai ia oe, a na kou mau lawehala e ao mai ia oe. E ike hoi oe, a e hoomaopopo, he mea ino, a he mea walania hoi kou haalele ana ia Iehova, i kou Akua, a me ka noho ole ana o ka makau ia'u iloko ou, wahi a Iehova, ka Haku o na kaua.
20 “For from of old you have broken your yoke, Drawn away your bands, and say, I do not serve, For on every high height, and under every green tree, You are wandering—a harlot.
No ka mea, mai kahiko loa mai, ua uhaki au i kou auamo, a ua moku hoi ia'u kou mau kaula i paa ai; a olelo iho la oe, Aole au e noho i kauwa, oiai, ua kulou oe maluna o na puu kiekie a pau, a malalo hoi o na laau uliuli a pau, a ua moe kolohe hoi oe.
21 And I planted you [as] a choice vine, wholly of true seed, And how have you been turned Into the degenerate shoots of a strange vine to Me?
Aka, ua kanu no wau ia oe i kumu waina maikai, he hua pono wale no. Pehea la hoi oe i hoololiia'i i lala o ke kumu waina e ia'u?
22 But though you wash with natron, And multiply soap to yourself, Your iniquity is marked before Me,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Ina e holoi oe ia oe i ka paakai holoi, a hoonui hoi i ka sopa, ua palahea no kou hewa imua o'u, wahi a Iehova, ka Haku.
23 “How can you say, I have not been defiled, I have not gone after the Ba‘alim? See your way in a valley, know what you have done, A swift dromedary winding her ways,
Pehea la e hiki ai ia oe ke olelo, Aole au i haumia, aole au i hahai mamuli o na Baala? E nana i kou ala ma ke awawa, e hoomaopopo hoi i ka mea au i hana'i. He kamelo mama no oe e holoholo ana i kona mau ala iho:
24 A wild donkey accustomed to a wilderness, She has swallowed up wind in the desire of her soul, Her meeting—who turns her back? None seeking her weary themselves, In her month they find her.
He hoki hihiu hoi, ua maa ma ka waonahele, e hau ana i ka makani no kona makemake iho. Ia ia e lapa kane ai, owai ka mea hiki ke hoohuli aku ia ia? o ka poe a pau e imi ana ia ia, aole lakou e hoomaloeloe ia lakou iho, no ka mea, a hiki i kona mahina, loaa no ia ia lakou.
25 Withhold your foot from being unshod, And your throat from thirst, And you say, It is incurable, No, for I have loved strangers, and I go after them.
E malama oe i kou wawae, o kamaa ole, a me kou puu, o maloo. Aka, olelo mai la oe, Make hewa. Oia, ua makemake au i na malihini, a e hahai no au ia lakou.
26 As the shame of a thief when he is found, So has the house of Israel been put to shame, They, their kings, their heads, And their priests, and their prophets,
E like me ka aihue i hilahila i kona wa e loaa'i, pela no e hilahila ai ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, o lakou, a me ko lakou alii, a me ko lakou poe luna, a me ko lakou poe kahuna, a me ko lakou poe kaula,
27 Saying to wood, You [are] my father! And to a stone, You have brought me forth, For they turned to me the back and not the face, And in the time of their distress, They say, Arise, and save us.
E olelo ana hoi i ka laau, O oe ko'u makuakane; a i ka pohaku hoi, Nau no wau i hanau: a ua huli lakou i ke kua ia'u, aole i ka maka. Aka, i ka manawa o ko lakou poino, e olelo mai no lakou, E ala, e hoola mai oe ia makou.
28 And where [are] your gods, that you have made to yourself? Let them arise, if they may save you, In the time of your distress, For—the number of your cities have been your gods, O Judah,
Auhea kou poe akua au i hana'i nou? E ala mai lakou, ina paha e hiki ia lakou ke hoola ia oe i kou popilikia. No ka mea, o ka heluna o kou mau kulanakauhale, oia no ka heluna o kou poe akua, e Iuda.
29 Why do you strive with Me? All of you have transgressed against Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
No ke aha la oukou e paio mai ia'u? Ua hana hewa mai ia'u, oukou a pau, wahi a Iehova.
30 “I have struck your sons in vain, They have not accepted instruction, Your sword has devoured your prophets, As a destroying lion.
Ua make hewa ko'u paipai ana i ka oukou poe keiki: aole i loaa ia lakou ka naauao. Na ka oukou pahikaua no i hoopau i ko oukou poe kaula, e like me ka liona luku.
31 O generation, see the word of YHWH: Have I been a wilderness to Israel? A land of thick darkness? Why have My people said, We wandered freely, We do not come to You again.
E ka hanauna kanaka, e nana oukou i ka olelo a Iehova. He waouahele anei au ne ka Iseraela? He aina pouli hai? No ke aha la i olelo ai ko'u poe kanaka, E aea lealea aku makou, aole makou hei hou aku iou la?
32 Does a virgin forget her ornaments? A bride her bands? And My people have forgotten Me [for] days without number.
E hiki anei ke kaikamahine ke hoopoina i kona kahike ana, a me ka wahine mare hoi i kona kaei? Aka, ua hoopoina ko'u poe kanaka ia'u i na la pau ole i ka helu.
33 Why do you make your ways pleasing to seek love? Therefore you have even taught the wicked your ways.
No ke aha la oe e hoomaikai nei i kou aoao, e imi i ke aloha? Nolaila, ua ao aku oe i ka poe hewa i kou mau aoao.
34 Also the blood of innocent needy souls Has been found on your skirts, I have not found them by digging, But on all these.
Ma na kihi o kou aahu, ua loaa ke koko o na uhane o ka poe ilihune hewa ole; aole i loaa ma ka huli ana, aka, maluna no ia o keia mau mea a pau.
35 And you say, Because I have been innocent, Surely His anger has turned back from me? Behold, I have been judged with you, Because of your saying, I have not sinned.
Aka, ke olelo nei oe. Aole o'u hewa, holaila, e huli aku ai kona huhu, mai o'u aku nei. Aia hoi, e paio aku no au ia oe, no ka mea, na olelo oe. Aole au i hewa.
36 What? You are very vile to repeat your way, You are even ashamed of Egypt, As you have been ashamed of Asshur,
Heaha kou mea e hele nui aku ai, e hoololi hou i kou aoao? E hilahila no hoi oe ia Aigupita. e like me oe i hilahila ai ia Asuria.
37 Also you go out from this, And your hands on your head, For YHWH has kicked at your confidences, And you do not give prosperity to them!”
Oia, e hele aku no oe, mai ona aku la, a aia hoi kou mau lima maluna e kou poo: no ka mea. ua hoowahawaha o Iehova i kou mea i hiliuai ai, aole hoi oe e pomaikai ia lakou.
