Jeremiah 6
1 Take your goods into safety, ye sons of Benjamin out of the midst of Jerusalem, And in Tekoa, blow ye a horn, And on Beth-haccherem, raise a fire-signal, —For calamity, hath looked out from the North, Even 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 To a comely and delicate woman, have I likened the daughter of Zion:
Ua hoopau no au i ke kaikamahine o Ziona, i ka mea puloku, a palupalu.
3 Against her, shall come shepherds with their flocks; They have pitched against her their tents, round about, They tend their flocks every one near at hand.
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 Hallow ye against her a war, Arise! and let us go up in broad noon. Woe to us, for the day, hath turned, for the shadows of evening, stretch along.
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 in the 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, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Cut ye down timber, And cast up, against Jerusalem a mound, —That, is the city to be punished! There is, nothing, but oppression in her midst;
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 Like the casting forth by a well of its waters, So, hath she cast forth her wickedness, —Violence and destruction, are heard in her, Before my face, continually, are suffering and smiting.
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 Receive thou correction O Jerusalem, Lest my soul be torn from thee, —Lest I make thee A desolation, A land not habitable.
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, saith Yahweh of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean as a vine the remnant of Israel—Turn back thy hand, as a grape gatherer over the tendrils.
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 Unto whom, can I speak—and bear witness, that they may hear? Lo! uncircumcised, is their ear, that they cannot attend, —Lo! the word of Yahweh, hath become to them a reproach, they take no delight therein.
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 So then, with the indignation of Yahweh, am I full, I am too weary to hold it in, [I am constrained] to pour it out, upon the boy in the street, and upon the circle of young men, together, —For, even husband with wife, will be captured, The elder 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 And their houses shall be turned over to others, Fields and wives together, —For I will stretch out my hand against the inhabitants of the land, Declareth Yahweh.
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 the least of them, even unto the greatest of them, Every one, graspeth with greed, —And from the prophet even unto the priest, Every one, dealeth, 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 And so they have healed the grievous wound of my people, slightly, Saying, Peace, peace, when there was 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 led to turn pale because an abominable thing, they had done! Nay! they did not, at all turn pale, Nay! they did not so much as know how, to exhibit shame, Therefore, shall they fall among them who are falling, In the time when I punish them, shall they be overthrown, Saith Yahweh.
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 saith Yahweh—Stand ye at the ways—and see, And ask for the paths of age-past times, Where is the good way? And walk therein, And ye shall find rest to your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein]!
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 Therefore will I raise up over you, watchmen, Give ye heed to the sound of a horn, —But they said, We will not give heed!
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 O ye nations, —And take knowledge O assembly, Of that which befalleth them:
Nolaila, e hoolohe mai oukou, e na aina, a e ike hoi, e ka ahakanaka, i ka mea mawaenao lakou.
19 Hear thou—O earth, Lo! I, am bringing in Calamity against this people the fruit of their own devices, —For unto my words, have they not given heed, 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 What then is it to me that—Frankincense from Shebah come in, or Sweet cane from a land afar off? Your own ascending-offerings, are not acceptable, Nor are, 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 Wherefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! laying before this people, stumblingblocks, —And fathers and sons together, shall stumble against them, The neighbour 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, saith Yahweh, Lo! a people coming in from the land of the North, —Yea a great nation, shall be stirred up out of the remote 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 Bow and javelin, shall they grasp, Cruel, is he! So they will not have compassion, Their voice, like the sea, will roar, And on horses, will they ride, —Arrayed each one, like a man for battle, Against thee, O 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 the report thereof, Relaxed are our hands, —Anguish, hath taken hold on us, Pangs, as on her that is giving birth.
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 out into the field, And in the road, do not walk, -Because a sword, hath the foe, —Terror round about!
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 O daughter of my people Gird thee with sackcloth and roll thyself in ashes, —The mourning for an only son, make thou for thyself, Most bitter lamentation! For suddenly, shall the destroyer come upon 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 An assayer, have I set thee amongst my people, of gold-ore, —That thou mayest note 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 all, are rebels of rebels, Slander-walkers [They are] bronze and iron! As for them all, corrupters, they are!
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 Scorched are the bellows, By fire, is lead wont to be, consumed, —In vain, hath he gone on refining, For the wicked, have not been drawn out:
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 Rejected silver, are they called, For, Yahweh, hath rejected them.
E kapaia no lakou, he kala i haaleleia, no ka mea, ua haalele o Iehova ia lakou.
