< Jeremiah 19 >

1 Yahweh said this, “Go and purchase a potter's clay flask while you are with the elders of the people and the priests.
KE olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, O hele e kii aku i hue lepo o ka potera, a i poe kahiko o na kanaka, a i poe kahiko o na kahuna;
2 Then go out to the Valley of Ben Hinnom at the entry of the Broken Pottery Gate, and there proclaim the words that I will tell you.
A e hele aku i ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, aia no ia ma kahi e komo ai i ka puka hikina: a e kala aku oe malaila, i na olelo a'u e hai aku ai ia oe;
3 Say, 'Hear the word of Yahweh, kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, “See, I am about to bring disaster on this place, and the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle.
E i aku, E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e na'lii o ka Iuda, a me ka poe e noho ana ma Ierusalema. Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela: Aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau i ka hewa maluna o keia wahi; e kani no na pepeiao o na mea a pau e lohe ia mea.
4 I will do this because they have abandoned me and profaned this place. In this place they offer sacrifices to other gods that they did not know. They, their ancestors, and the kings of Judah have also filled this place with innocent blood.
No ka mea, ua haalele lakou ia'u, a ua hoowahawaha i keia wahi, a ua kuni i ka mea aia malaila, no na akua e, i na mea ike ole ia e lakou, a me ko lakou mau makua, a me na'lii o ka Iuda, a ua hoopiha lakou i keia wahi, i ke koko o ka poe hewa ole.
5 They built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to him—something that I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind.
Ua hana hoi lakou i na wahi kiekie o Baala, e puhi i ka lakou keikikane i ke ahi, i mohai kuni no Baala, ka mea a'u i kauoha ole ai, aole hoi i olelo, aole hoi i komo ia iloko o ko'u naau.
6 Therefore, see, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when this place will no longer be called Topheth, the Valley of Ben Hinnom, for it will be the Valley of Slaughter.
Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, e kapa hou ole ia'i keia wahi o Topeta, aole hoi ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, aka, o ke awawa o ka pepehi.
7 In this place I will make the plans of Judah and Jerusalem useless. I will make them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of the ones seeking their lives. Then I will give their corpses as food to the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth.
A e hooki aku au ma keia wahi i ka manao akamai o ka Iuda, a me Ierusalema; a na'u no lakou e hoohina i ka pahikaua, imua o ko lakou poe enemi, a i ka lima hoi oka poe i imi i ko lakou ola. A e haawi no wau i ko lakou kupapau i mea ai, na na manu o ka lani, a na na holoholona o ka honua.
8 Then I will make this city a ruin and the object of hissing, for everyone passing by it will shudder and hiss regarding all of its plagues.
A e hoolilo wau i keia kulanakauhale i neoneo, a i mea hoowahawaha; o na mea a pau e hele ae, e kahaha no lakou, a e hoowahawaha mai no kona wawahiia a pau.
9 I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters; each man will consume the flesh of his neighbor in the siege and in the anguish brought on them by their enemies and the ones seeking their lives.”'
A na'u no e hanai aku ia lakou i ka io o ka lakou mau keikikane, a me ka io o ka lakou mau kaikamahine, a e ai no kela mea keia mea i ka io o kona hoalauna maloko o ka ikiiki, a me ka pilikia o ko lakou poe enemi, a me ka poe i imi i ko lakou ola, e hoopilikia mai ai ia lakou.
10 Then you will break the clay flask in the sight of the men who went with you.
Alaila, e wawahi oe i ka hue imua o na maka o na kanaka i hele pu me oe;
11 You will say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: I will do this same thing to this people and this city—this is Yahweh's declaration—just as Jeremiah shattered the clay flask so that it could not be repaired again. People will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no place left for any more dead.
A e i aku oe ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, Pela no wau e wawahi ai i keia poe kanaka, a me keia kulanakauhale, e like me ka wawahiia o ka ipu a ka potera, ka mea hiki ole ke kapili hou ia; a e kanu no hoi lakou ma Topeta, a e kaanwale ole kahi e kanu ai.
12 This is what I will do to this place and its inhabitants when I make this city like Topheth—this is Yahweh's declaration—
Pela no wau e hana'i i keia wahi, wahi a Iehova, a i kona poe e noho ana, a e hoohalike i keia kulanakauhale me Topeta.
13 so the houses of Jerusalem and of the kings of Judah will become like Topheth—all the houses on whose rooftops the unclean people worship all the stars of the heavens and pour out drink offerings to other gods.'”
A o na hale o Ierusalema, a me na hale o na'lii o ka Iuda, e haumia auanei lakou, e like me kahi o Topeta, no ka mea, maluna o na hale a pau, ua puhi lakou i ka mea ala, no na hoku a pau o ka lani, a ua ninini aku i na mohaiinu no na akua e.
14 Then Jeremiah went from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to prophesy. He stood in the courtyard of Yahweh's house and he said to all the people,
Alaila, hele mai la o Ieremia, mai Topeta mai, kahi a Iehova i hoouna aku ai ia ia e wanana; a ku mai la oia ma ke kahua o ka hale o Iehova, a i mai la i na kanaka a pau,
15 “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'See, I am about to bring to this city and to all of its towns all the disaster that I have proclaimed against it, since they stiffened their neck and refused to listen to my words.'”
Ke i mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, Aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau maluna o keia kulanakauhale, a maluna o kona mau kauhale a pau, i ka hewa a pau a'u i hai aku ai nona; no ka mea, ua hoopaakiki lakou i ko lakou a-i, i mea e hoolohe ole ai lakou i ka'u mau olelo.
