Jeremiah 6
1 "Flee for safety, you people of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem; for evil looks forth from the north, and a great destruction.
E NA mamo a Beniamina, e hoakoakoa oukou e holo aku mawaho o Ierusalema; a e puhi i ka pu ma Tekoa, a e kau hoi i ka hoailona o ke ahi ma Betehakerema. No ka mea, aneane mai ka hewa, a me ka make nui, mai ke kukulu akau mai.
2 The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
Ua hoopau no au i ke kaikamahine o Ziona, i ka mea puloku, a palupalu.
3 Shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her all around; they shall feed everyone in his place."
E hele mai no io na la na kahu hipa, me ko lakou poe hipa, e kukulu no lakou i na halelewa a puni ia wahi; e ai no kela mea keia mea i kona wahi iho.
4 "Prepare war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us. For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
E hoomakaukau oukou e kaua ia ia; e ku mai, e pii ku e kakou ia ia i ke awakea. Auwe kakou! no ka mea, e pau ana ka la; ua hohola ae ka molehulehu o ke ahiahi.
5 Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces."
E ku mai, e hele hoi kakou i ka po, a e wawahi i kona mau hale alii.
6 For YHWH of hosts said, "Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem. She is the city to be punished; she is full of oppression in the midst of her.
No ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova o na kaua penei, E kua oukou ilalo i mau laau, a e hana hoi i puu ku e ia Ierusalema; oia ke kulanakauhale e hoopaiia'i; o ka hooluhi wale no ko loko ona.
7 As a well casts forth its waters, so she casts forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.
A like me ka punawai i puai mai i kona mau wai, pela no oia i puai mai i kona hewa. Ua loheia ka lawe wale a me ka hao ana maloko ona; imua o ko'u alo, ua mau loa no ke kaumaha a me ka palapu.
8 Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you; lest I make you a desolation, a land not inhabited."
E aoia oe, e Ierusalema, o haalele kuu uhane ia oe, a hooneoneo aku hoi au ia oe, he aina noho ole ia.
9 Thus says YHWH of hosts, "They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Pass your hand again as a grape gatherer into the baskets."
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, E hoiliili no lakou i ke koena a pau o ka Iseraela, e like me ke kumu waina; e hoihoi i kou lima, e like me ka mea hoiliili i ka huawaina iloko o na hinai.
10 To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? Look, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can't listen. Look, the word of YHWH has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
Ia wai la wau e olelo aim ai, a e ao aku hoi, i lohe lakou? Aia hoi, ua okipoepoe ole ia ko lakou pepeiao, aole hiki ia lakou ke hoolohe: aia hoi, he mea hoowahawaha ka olelo a ke Akua ia lakou, aohe o lakou lealea iloko o ia mea.
11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of YHWH. I am weary with holding in. "Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.
Nolaila, ua piha au i ka inaina o Iehova; ua auka au i ka uumi ana. E ninini aku au ia maluna o na kamalii mawaho, maluna pu no me ka ahakanaka ui; no ka mea, e lawe pio pu ia no ke kane me ka wahine, o ka mea elemakule me ka mea i nui kona mau la.
12 Their houses shall be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land," says YHWH.
A e hooliloia ko lakou hale no na kanaka e, a me na mahinaai, a me na wahine pu; no ka mea, e kikoo aku no au i ko'u lima, maluna o ka poe e noho ana ma ka aina, wahi a Iehova.
13 "For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
No ka mea, mai ka mea uuku o lakou a ka mea nui o lakou, ua makee waiwai lakou a pau; a mai ke kaula mai a ke kahuna, hana ma ka wahahee kela mea keia mea.
14 They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially, saying, 'Peace, peace.' when there is no peace.
Ua hoola hapa lakou i ka eha o ko'u poe kanaka, me ka olelo iho, He malu, he malu; aole hoi he malu.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I visit them, they shall be cast down," says YHWH.
Ua hilahila anei lakou ia lakou i hana'i i ka mea e hoopailua ai? Ole, aole lakou i hilahila iki, aole hoi i ike i ka hoopalaimaka; nolaila lakou e haule ai iwaena o ka poe haule; a hoopai aku au ia lakou, alaila lakou e kulaina'i, wahi a Iehova.
16 Thus says YHWH, "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, 'Where is the good way?' and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." But they said, "We will not walk in it."
Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, E ku mai oukou ma na alanui, a nana, a e ninau hoi no na kuamoo kahiko. Auhea ka aoao maikai? E hele oukou maloko olaila, a e loaa no ia oukou ka hoomaha no ko oukou poe uhane. Aka, olelo mai la lakou, Aole makou e hele.
17 "I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet.'" But they said, "We will not listen."
A hoonoho iho la au i poe kiai maluna o oukou, nana i olelo, E hoolohe oukou i ke kani ana o ka pu. Aka, olelo mai la lakou, Aole makou e hoolohe.
18 "Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what will happen to them.
Nolaila, e hoolohe mai oukou, e na aina, a e ike hoi, e ka ahakanaka, i ka mea mawaenao lakou.
19 Hear, earth. 'Look, I will bring disaster on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
E hoolohe mai, e ka honua! aia hoi, e lawe mai ana no wau i ka hewa maluna o keia poe kanaka, i ka hua hoi o ko lakou manao iho; no ka mea, aole lakou i hoolohe mai i ka'u mau olelo, aole hoi i ko'u kanawai, aka, hoole lakou ia.
20 To what purpose comes there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.'
No ke aha la e hele mai ai ka mea ala mai Seba mai no'u? A me ka ohe ala mai ka aina mamao aku mai? Aole i makemakeia e a'u ko oukou mohaikuni, aole hoi i oluolu ko oukou alana.
21 Therefore thus says YHWH, 'Look, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend shall perish.'
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, e waiho aku au i mau mea e hina'i imua o keia poe kanaka, a e haule pu maluna o ia mau mea na makuakane, a me na keikikane. E make pu no ka hoalauna, a me kona hoa.
22 "Thus says YHWH, 'Look, a people comes from the north country. A great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, he poe kanaka e hele mai la, mai ka aina akau mai; a e hoalaia mai ka lahuikanaka nui, mai na aoao mai o ka honua.
23 They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion.'"
E lalau no lakou i ke kakaka, a me ka ihe: he poe lokoino lakou, aohe o lakou lokomaikai; halulu ko lakou leo, e like me ke kai; a holo no lakou maluna o na lio i hoomakaukauia e like me na kanaka kaua e ku e aku ia oe, e ke kaikamahine o Ziona.
24 "We have heard its report; our hands become feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.
Ua lohe makou i kona kaulana, ua nawaliwali hoi ko makou mau lima; ua loohia makou i ka haalulu, a me ke kuakoko e like me ko ka wahine hanau keiki.
25 Do not go forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and terror, are on every side."
Mai hele aku iloko o ke kula, mai hele hoi ma na alanui; no ka mea, aia no ka pahikaua o ka enemi, a me ka makau ma na aoao a pau.
26 "Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes. Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come on us."
E ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, e hoaahu oe i kapa Kumakena, a e lulu i ka lehu maluna ou; a e kumakena hoi oe, e like me ia no ka hanaukahi, he kumakena ino loa; no ka mea, e hele hoohikilele mai ana ka mea anai ia kakou.
27 "I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people; that you may know and try their way."
Ua hoonoho wau ia oe, i hale kiai, a i pakaua mawaena o ko'u poe kanaka, i ike oe, a e hoao i ko lakou aoao.
28 "They are all grievous rebels, going about with slanders; they are bronze and iron: they all of them deal corruptly.
He poe hoihope ino lakou a pau, e hele ana me ka ahiahi; he keleawe lakou, a he hao hoi; he poe hoohaumia lakou a pau.
29 The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away.
Ua wela na upamakani, ua pau i ke ahi ke kepau; o ka mea hoohehee, hoohehee makehewa no oia: no ka mea, aole i laweia'ku ka poe hewa.
30 Men will call them 'rejected silver,' because YHWH has rejected them."
E kapaia no lakou, he kala i haaleleia, no ka mea, ua haalele o Iehova ia lakou.
