Jeremiah 9
1 Who makes my head waters, And my eye a fountain of tears? And I weep by day and by night, For the wounded of the daughter of my people.
A UWE! ina i lilo kuu poo i wai, a me kuu mau maka hoi i kumu waimaka, i uwe aku ai au i ke ao a me ka po, no ka poe i pephiia o ko kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka!
2 Who gives me in a wilderness A lodging-place for travelers? And I leave my people, and go from them, For all of them [are] adulterers, An assembly of treacherous ones.
Auwe hoi! ina ia'u ma ka waonahele ko ka poe hele wahi e moe ai; i haalele ai au i ko'u poe kanaka, a e hele, mai o lakou aku! no ka mea, he poe moe kolohe lakou a pau, he ahakanaka kipi.
3 “And they bend their tongue, Their bow [is] a lie, And they have not been mighty for steadfastness in the land, For they have gone forth from evil to evil, And they have not known Me,” A declaration of YHWH!
Lena no lakou i ko lakou mau alelo, e like me ko lakou kakaka, no ka wahahee. Aole lakou hookoa ma ka oiaio maluna o ka honua; no ka mea, hele no lakou, mai kekahi hewa, a i kekahi hewa, aole hoi lakou i ike mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
4 “You each beware of his friend, And do not trust any brother, For every brother utterly supplants, For every friend slanderously walks,
E makaala kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, mai hilinai hoi i kekahi hoahanau; no ka mea, e wahahee loa no kela hoahanau, keia hoahanau; a hele ahiahi no na hoalauna a pau.
5 And they each mock at his friend, And they do not speak truth, They taught their tongue to speak falsehood, They have labored to commit iniquity.
E hoopunipuni no kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, aole olelo i ka mea oiaio; ua maa ko lakou alelo e olelo i na wahahee, hoomaloeloe lakou ia lakou iho e hana i ka hewa.
6 Your dwelling [is] in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
Aia no kou wahi noho ai iwaena konu o ka hoopunipuni; no ka hoopunipuni, hoole mai lakou, aole e ike mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
7 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am refining them, and have tried them, For how do I deal with the daughter of My people?
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua peneia. Aia hoi, e hoohehee no wau ia lakou, a e hoao hoi ia lakou; no ka mea, heaha la wau e hana'i no ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka?
8 Their tongue [is] a slaughtering arrow, It has spoken deceit in its mouth, It speaks peace with its neighbor, And in its heart it lays its ambush,
O ko lakou alelo, he pua ia i panaia'ku, olelo no ia i ka hoopunipuni. Olelo oluolu aku kekahi i kona hoalauna me ka waha, aka, ma ka naau, ua hoohalua ia ia.
9 Do I not see after them for these things?” A declaration of YHWH, “Does My soul not avenge itself against a nation such as this?”
Aole anei au e hoopai ia lakou no keia mau mea, wahi a Iehova? Aole anei e ko ka ukiuki o kuu uhane i ka lahuikanaka e like me keia?
10 I lift up weeping and wailing for the mountains, And a lamentation for the habitations of the wilderness, For they have been burned up without any passing over, Nor have they heard the voice of livestock, From the bird of the heavens and to the beast—they have fled, They have gone.
E olo no wau i ka pihe no na mauna, me ka uwe aku, a e kumakena no hoi no na wahi mauu o ka waonahele, no ka mea, ua pau lakou i ke ahi; nolaila, aole hiki kekahi ke hele malaila, aole hoi e loheia ka leo o na holoholona. Ua holo aku no ka manu o ka lewa, a me ka holoholona, ua hala lakou.
11 “And I make Jerusalem become heaps, A habitation of dragons, And I make the cities of Judah a desolation, Without inhabitant.”
A e hoolilo no wau ia Ierusalema i mau puu, he noho ana hoi no na ilio hihiu; a e hooneoneo no wau i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, aohe mea noho iloko.
12 Who [is] the wise man? And he understands this, And he to whom the mouth of YHWH spoke? And he declares it, For why has the land perished? It has been burned up as a wilderness, Without any passing through.
Owai ke kanaka akamai i hoomaopopo i keia? A ua olelo hoi ka waha o Iehova ia ia, a nana hoi e hai aku i ka mea i make ai ka aina, a neoneo e like me ka waonahele, i ole e hele ae kekahi maloko?
13 And YHWH says: “Because of their forsaking My law that I set before them, And they have not listened to My voice nor walked in it,
I mai la o Iehova, No ko lakou haalele ana i ko'u kanawai, i ka mea a'u i kau ai imua o lakou, aole hoi i hoolohe i ko'u leo, aole hoi i hele mamuli o ia;
14 And they walk after the stubbornness of their heart, And after the Ba‘alim, That their fathers taught them,”
Aka, ua hele lakou mamuli o ka paakiki o ko lakou naau iho, a mamuli o na Baala hoi, na mea a ko lakou poe makua i ao mai ai ia lakou;
15 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am causing them—this people—to eat wormwood, And I have caused them to drink water of gall,
Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aia hoi, e hanai aku no wau ia lakou, i keia poe kanaka hoi, i ka awaawa, a e hoohainu aku au ia lakou i ka wai o ke au.
16 And I have scattered them among nations Which they did not know, they and their fathers, And have sent the sword after them, Until I have consumed them.”
A e hoopuehu aku au ia lakou iwaena o ko na aina e, i ka poe i ike ole ia e lakou, aole hoi e ko lakou mau makuaa; e hoouna aku au i ka pahikaua mahope o lakou, a hoopau au ia lakou.
17 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Consider, and call for mourning women, And they come, And send to the wise women, And they come,
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, E hoonaauao oukou, a e hea aku i na wahine e olo pihe ana, i hele mai lakou, a e kii aku hoi i na wahine kumakena, i hele mai lakou;
18 And they hurry, and lift up a wailing for us. And tears run down our eyes, And waters flow from our eyelids.
E hoowikiwiki hoi lakou, a e olo pihe no kakou i kahe ka wai o ko Kakou mau maka, i poha aku hoi ko kakou mau alumaka i na wai.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: How we have been spoiled! We have been greatly ashamed, Because we have forsaken the land, Because they have cast down our dwelling places.”
No ka mea, ua loheia ka leo o ka uwe ana, mai Ziona mai, Nani ko kakou lukuia! Ua hilahila loa kakou, no ka mea, ua haalele kakou i ka aina, no ka mea, ua kipaku aku ko kakou wahi noho ai ia kakou.
20 But hear, you women, a word of YHWH, And your ear receives a word of His mouth, And teach your daughters wailing, And each her neighbor lamentation.
Aka, e hoolohe mai oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, o na wahine, a e lawe hoi ko oukou pepeiao i ka olelo a kona waha, a e ao aku i ka oukou mau kaikamahine i ka uwe ana, a o kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna i ke kumakena ana.
21 For death has come up into our windows, It has come into our palaces, To cut off the suckling from outside, Young men from the broad places.
No ka mea, ua pii mai no ka make, a iloko o ko kakou puka ma kani, ua komo no iloko o ko kakou halealii, e hooki ae ia i na kamalii mawaho, a me ua kanaka opiopio ma ke alanui.
22 Speak thus, “A declaration of YHWH, And the carcass of man has fallen, As dung on the face of the field, And as a handful after the reaper, And there is none gathering.”
E i aku Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E haule no na kupapau o kanaka e like me ka lepo ma ke kula, e like hoi me ka pua ai mahope o ka mea hoiliili ai; aohe mea nana lakou e hoiliili.
23 Thus said YHWH: “Do not let the wise boast himself in his wisdom, Nor let the mighty boast himself in his might, Do not let the rich boast himself in his riches,
Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Mai kaena wale ka mea akamai i kona akamai ana, mai kaena wale hoi ka mea ikaika i kona ikaika ana, a mai kaena ka mea waiwai i kona waiwai ana;
24 But let the boaster boast himself in this, In understanding and knowing Me, For I [am] YHWH, doing kindness, Judgment, and righteousness, in the earth, For I have delighted in these,” A declaration of YHWH.
Aka o ka mea kaena, e kaena oia i keia, i kona hoomaopopo ana, a i kona ike aua ia'u, owau no o Iehova, ka mea hana aku i ka lokomaikai, a me ka hoopono, a me ka maikai ma ka honua; no ka mea, ke lealea nei au ia mau mea, wahi a Iehova.
25 “Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have laid a charge on all circumcised in the foreskin,
Aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la. wahi a Iehova, e hoopai pu aku ai au i ka poe a pau i okipoepoeia me ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia:
26 On Egypt, and on Judah, and on Edom, And on the sons of Ammon, and on Moab, And on all cutting the corner [of the beard], Who are dwelling in the wilderness, For all the nations [are] uncircumcised, And all the house of Israel [are] uncircumcised in heart!”
I ko Aigupita, a me ka Iuda a me ka Edoma. a me na keiki a Amona, a me ka Moaba, a me na mea a pau i ako i ka uminmi, ka poe e noho la ma ka waonahelo; no ka mea, ua okipoepoe ole ia ko na aina e a pau, a ua okipoepoe ole ia ko ka hale a pau o ka Iseraela, ma ka maau.
