Jeremiah 51
1 “Yahweh says this: See, I am about to stir up a wind of destruction against Babylon and against those who live in Leb Kamai.
KE i mai nei o Iehova, penei; Aia hoi, e hoala no wau i ka makani luku e ku e ia Babulona, E ku e hoi i ka poe e noho la iwaenakonu, Ka poe i ala ku e mai ia'u.
2 I will send foreigners to Babylon. They will scatter her and devastate her land, for they will come against her from all around on the day of disaster.
E hoouna aku au i na malihini i Babulona, A e hoopuehu lakou i kona, a e ninini aku i ko kona aina; No ka mea, e ku e no lakou ia ia a puni i ka la poino.
3 Do not let the archers bend their bows; do not let them put on armor. Do not spare her young men; set her whole army apart for destruction.
E lena ke kakaka o ka mea pana, E ku e i ka mea i hoolena i kona; E ku e i ka mea hookiekie maloko o kona paleumaumaunahi; Mai hookoe i kona poe kanaka opiopio, E luku loa aku i kona mau kaua a pau.
4 For the wounded people will fall in the land of the Chaldeans; those who are killed will fall in her streets.
E hina no ka poe make ma ka aina o ko Kaledea, A e houia ma kona mau alanui.
5 For Israel and Judah are not forsaken by their God, by Yahweh of hosts, although their land is filled with offenses committed against the Holy One of Israel.
No ka mea, ua haalele ole ia ka Iseraela, A o ka Iuda hoi e kona Akua e Iehova o na kaua; Ua piha nae ko lakou aina i ka lawehala imua o ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
6 Flee from the midst of Babylon; let each man save himself. Do not perish in her iniquity. For it is the time of Yahweh's vengeance. He will repay all of it to her.
E holo oukou mai waenakonu aku o Babulona, E hoopakele kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona ola iho: Mai noho oukou a lukuia iloko o kona hewa, No ka mea, o ka manawa keia o ko Iehova ukiuki; Nana no e hoouku aku ia ia
7 Babylon was a golden cup in the hand of Yahweh that made all the world drunk; nations drank her wine and became insane.
He wahi kiaha gula o Babulona ma ka lima o Iehova, O ka mea ia i ona'i ka honua a pau: Ua inu ko na aina i kona waina, Nolaila i pupule ai ko na aina.
8 Babylon will fall suddenly and be destroyed. Wail for her! Give her medicine for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.
Ua haule hoohikilele o Babulona, a ua anaiia; E aoa nona, e kii hoi i wahi nini no kona eha, Ina paha e hoolaia oia.
9 'We wished to heal Babylon, but she is not healed. Let us all leave her and go away, to our own land. For her guilt reaches up to the heavens; it is piled up to the clouds.
Hoola aku no makou ia Babulona, aole ia i ola: E haalele ia ia, e hele hoi kela mea keia mea o kakou i kona aina iho; No ka mea, ua pa aku kona hoopaiia i ka lani, Ua hapaiia hoi, a i na aouli.
10 Yahweh has declared our innocence. Come, let us tell in Zion the deeds of Yahweh our God.'
Ua hoopuka mai o Iehova i ko kakou pono; E hele mai hoi, e hai aku kakou ma Ziona i ka hana a Iehova ko kakou Akua.
11 Sharpen the arrows and take up the shields. Yahweh is stirring up the spirit of the king of the Medes in a plan to destroy Babylon. This is for Yahweh's vengeance, vengeance for the destruction of his temple.
E anai i na pua, e lalau i na palekaua; Ua hooikaika o Iehova i ka manao o na'lii o Media: No ka mea, he manao ku e kona ia Babulona e luku ia wahi; No ka mea, o ka hoopai ana ia o Iehova, O kana hoopai ana hoi, no kona luakini.
12 Lift up a banner over Babylon's walls; make the watch strong; set up watchmen; prepare the ambushes; for the LORD will do what he has said concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
E kau i ka hae ma na pa o Babulona, E hoomahuahua i ka poe kaua, E hoonohonoho i na kiai, E hoomakaukau i ka poe hoohalua; No ka mea, ua noonoo o Iehova, a ua hana hoi i na mea ana i olelo ku e ai i ka poe e noho la ma Babulona.
13 You people who live by many streams of water, you people who are rich with treasures, your end has come. The thread of your life is now cut short.
E ka mea e noho la ma na wai nui, Ka mea waiwai nui hoi, Ua hiki mai kou hope, a me ke ana o kou hao ana.
14 Yahweh of hosts has sworn by his own life, 'I will fill you with men, like a swarm of locusts, and they will raise a battle cry against you.'
Ua hoohiki o Iehova o na kaua ia ia iho, Oiaio, e hoopiha no wau ia oe i na kanaka e like me na enuhe, A e hookiekie lakou i ka hooho ku e ia oe.
15 He has made the earth by his power; he set in place the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he stretched out the heavens.
Ua hana oia i ka honua i kona mana, Ua hookumu oia i ke ao nei i kona akamai, A ua uhola'i i na lani i kona ike.
16 When he thunders, there is the roar of waters in the heavens, for he brings up the mist from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for rain and sends out wind from his storehouses.
I ka poha ana o kona leo, Nui na wai ma na lani; Oia ka mea e pii aku ai ka ohu, mai na kihi ae o ka honua: Nana no i hana ka uwila, me ka ua, A hoopuka mai la oia i ka makaui, Mailoko mai o kona waihona waiwai.
17 Every man has become ignorant, without knowledge. Every metalworker is put to shame by his idols. For his cast images are frauds, and there is no life in them.
Me he holoholona la na kanaka a pau ma ka ike, Ua hoohilahilaia na mea hoohehee kala a pau, ma na kii i hooheheeia; No ka mea, he wahahee kona kii hooheheeia, Aohe hanu iloko o lakou.
18 They are useless, the work of mockers; they will perish at the time of their punishment.
He lapuwale lakou, he hana na ka wahahee; I ko lakou wa e hoopaiia mai ai, e make no lakou.
19 But God, the portion of Jacob, is not like these, for he is the molder of all things. Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; Yahweh of hosts is his name.
Aole i like ka Puu o Iakoba me lakou, No ka mea, nana no i hana na mea a pau; O ka Iseraela ke kookoo o kona hooilina; O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
20 You are my war hammer, my weapon for battle. With you I will smash nations and destroy kingdoms.
He hamare no oe no'u, A me ko'u mau mea kaua e kaua'i: No ka mea, ia oe no wau e wawahi ai i na aina, A ia oe no hoi e luku aku ai au i na aupuni;
21 With you I will smash horses and their riders; with you I will smash chariots and their drivers.
Ia oe no wau e uhai i ka lio, A me kona mea nana e holo; Ia oe no wau e uhai ai i ke kaakaua, A me kona mea nana e holo;
22 With you I will smash each man and woman; with you I will smash the old and the young. With you I will smash the young men and the virgin girls.
Ia oe no wau e uhai ai i ke kane a me ka wahine; Ia oe no hoi au e uhai ai i ka elemakule a me ka mea opiopio; A ia oe no e uhai ai au i ke kanaka opiopio, a me ke kaikamahine:
23 With you I will smash the shepherds and their flocks; with you I will smash the plowmen and their teams. With you I will smash the governors and officials.
Ia oe no e uhai aku ai au i ke kahuhipa, a me kona ohana; Ia oe no wau e uhai aku ai i ke kauaka mahiai, A me kona mau bipi kauo; A ia oe no wau e uhai aku ai i na kiaaina, A me ko lakou poe alii.
24 For in your sight I will pay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all of the evil that they did in Zion—this is Yahweh's declaration.
A maluna o Babulona, a maluna o ka poe e noho la ma Kaledea, E hoihoi no wau i ka hewa a pau a lakou i hana'i, Ma Ziona, imua o kou mau maka, wahi a Iehova.
25 See, I am against you, mountain of destruction—this is Yahweh's declaration—which destroys the whole earth. I will stretch out my hand against you, and roll you down from the cliffs, and make you a burned-out mountain.
Aia hoi, owau ka i ku e ia oe, e ka mauna hoomake, Wahi a Iehova; Ka mea i anai i ka honua a pau: A e kakauha aku au i ko'u lima maluna ou, A e olokaa aku au ia oe ilalo, mai na pohaku aku, A e hoolilo au ia oe i mauna a.
26 So they will not take from you any stone to construct a building's corner or foundation; for you will become an everlasting devastation—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Aole hoi lakou e lawe i kekahi pohaku ou i pohaku kihi, Aole hoi i pohaku hookumu: Aka, e neoneo mau loa aku no oe, wahi a Iehova.
27 Lift up a banner over the earth. Blow the trumpet over the nations. Call the nations to attack her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander to attack her; bring up horses like swarming locusts.
E kau oukou i ka hae ma ka aina, E puhi i ka pu iwaena o ko na aina, E hoomakaukau i ko na aina, e ku e ia ia; E kena i na aupuni o Arerata e ku e ia ia, Ia Mini, a me Asekenaza; E hoonoho i alihi kaua e ku e ia ia; E hoouna i na lio e like me na enuhe huluhulu.
28 Prepare the nations to attack her: The kings of the Medes and his governors, all of his officials and all the lands under his rule.
E hoomakaukau ku e ia ia i ko na aina a me ua'lii o ko Media, I kona poe kiaaina hoi a me kona mau luna, A me ka aina a pau o kona aupuni.
29 For the land will shake and be in anguish, since Yahweh's plans continue against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a wasteland where there is no inhabitant.
E haalulu no ka aina, a e mihi hoi; No ka mea, e hanaia maluna o Babulona na manao a pau o Iehova, E hoolilo i ka aina o Babulona i wahi neoneo, Me ka mea ole nana e noho.
30 The soldiers in Babylon have stopped fighting; they stay in their strongholds. Their strength has failed; they have become women—her homes are on fire, the bars of her gates are broken.
Ua haalele na kanaka ikaika o Babulona i ke kaua, Ua noho lakou ma na puu kaua; Ua pio hoi ko lakou ikaika, Ua like no hoi lakou me na wahine; Ua hoopau lakou i ko lakou wahi noho i ke ahi, Ua uhaiia kona mau kikaola.
31 A messenger runs to proclaim to another messenger, and a runner tells another runner to report to the king of Babylon that his city has been taken from end to end.
E holo auanei kekahi luna e halawai me ka kekahi luna, A me kekahi elele e halawai me kekahi elele, E hai aku i ke alii i ke pio ana o ke kulanakauhale ma kekahi pea:
32 So the fords over the river are seized; the enemy is burning the reed marshes, and Babylon's fighting men are confused.
I ka lilo ana o na alanui kiaiia, A ua hoopau no lakou i na ohe i ke ahi, Ua auhee hoi na kanaka kaua.
33 For Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor. It is time to trample her down. In a little while the time of harvest will come to her.
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; Ua like ke kaikamahine o Babulona me kahi hahi palaoa, Ua hiki mai ka manawa e hahi ai ia ia; He manawa iki e koe, a hiki mai kona hoiliili ai ana.
34 'Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me, he has driven me into confusion and has made me an empty pot. Like a monster he has swallowed me, he has filled his stomach with my delicious foods, and then he has spit me out.'
Ua ai mai o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona ia'u, A ua hooki loa mai ia'u, Ua hoolilo mai oia ia'u i ipu mea ole iloko, Ua moni mai oia ia'u, e like me ka moonui, Ua hoopiha oia i kona opu i ka'u mea maikai, Ua kipaku mai oia ia'u.
35 The one who lives in Zion will say, 'May the violence done to me and my flesh be on Babylon.' Jerusalem will say, 'May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea.'
Maluna hoi o Babulona, ka hookaumahaia o'u a me ko'u kino, Wahi a ka mea e noho la ma Ziona; A o ko'u koko hoi maluna o ka poe e noho la ma Kaledea, Wahi a Ierusalema.
36 Therefore Yahweh says this: See, I am about to plead your case and bring about vengeance for you. For I will dry up Babylon's waters and make her springs run dry.
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, na'u no e hooponopono i kou hoopiiia, Na'u hoi e hoopai aku nou; A e hoomaloo no wau i kona moana, A e hoopio no hoi au i kona waipuna.
37 Babylon will become heaps of rubble, a den of jackals, a horror, an object of hissing, where there are no inhabitants.
A e lilo o Babulona i mau puu, He wahi noho no na iliohihiu, He mea e kahaha ai, a e hoowahawaha ai hoi, Me ka mea ole nana e noho.
38 The Babylonians will roar together like young lions. They will growl like lion cubs.
E uwo pu no lakou e like me na liona, A e hoonui hoi i ko lakou leo e like me na keiki liona.
39 When they become hot with greed, I will make a feast for them; I will make them drunk so they become happy, and then sleep an unending sleep and not wake up—this is Yahweh's declaration—
Ia lakou e wela'i, e hana no wau i ko lakou ahainu, A e hooona aku wau ia lakou, i mea e lealea ai lakou, A e moe no lakou i ka hiamoe mau loa, Aole lakou e ala hou, wahi a Iehova.
40 I will send them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
E hooiho aku au ia lakou e like me na keikihipa i ka make, E like hoi me na hipa kane, a me na kaokane.
41 How Babylon has been captured! So the praise of all the earth is seized. How Babylon has become a ruined place among the nations.
Nani ka hopuia o Sesaka! A ua hoopioia hoi ka mea nani o ka honua a pau! Nani ka lilo ana o Babulona i mea kupaianaha iwaena o na aina!
42 The sea has come up over Babylon! She is covered with its roaring waves.
Ua pii mai ke kai maluna o Babulona; Ua uhiia oia i ka nui o kona mau ale.
43 Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land and a wilderness, a land that no one inhabits, and no human being passes through.
Ua lilo kona mau kulanakauhale i wahi neoneo, He aina maloo hoi, a he waonahele, He aina noho ole ia e kekahi kanaka, Aole hoi e hele ae ke keiki a ke kanaka ilaila.
44 So I will punish Bel in Babylon; I will bring out from his mouth what he swallowed, and the nations will no longer flow to him with their offerings. The walls of Babylon will fall.
Na'u no e hoopai aku ia Bela ma Babulona, A e hoopuka aku no hoi au iwaho o kona waha, I ka mea ana i moni ai; Aole e akoakoa hou mai na lahuikanaka io na la; Oia, e hiolo ana ka pa o Babulona.
45 Go out from her midst, my people. Let each of you save his own life from the fury of my wrath.
E ko'u poe kanaka, e hele oukou maiwaena aku ona, A e hoopakele kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona ola iho, Mai ka ukiuki nui o Iehova;
46 Do not let your hearts be timid or fear the news that is heard in the land, for the news will come one year. After it in the next year there will be news, and violence will be in the land. Ruler will be against ruler.
O maule auanei ko oukou naau, a makau hoi oukou, no ka lono e loheia ana ma ia aina; E hiki mai no ka lono i kekahi makahiki, A he lono hou i kekahi makahiki, He haunaele ma ka aina, O kekahi alii e ku e ana i kekahi alii.
47 Therefore, see, days are coming when I will punish the carved idols of Babylon. All of her land will be ashamed, and all of her slaughtered ones will fall in her midst.
Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, E hoopai aku ai au i na kii kalaiia o Babulona; A e hoohilahilaia kona aina a pau, A e haule hoi iwaenakonu ona, kona poe a pau i houia.
48 Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them will rejoice over Babylon. For destroyers will come for her from the north—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Alaila e hookani olioli ai ka lani, a me ka honua, a me na mea a pau oloko, no Babulona; No ka mea, mai ke kukulu akau mai e hele mai ai io na la ka poe hao wale, wahi a Iehova.
49 As Babylon has made the killed of Israel fall, so the killed of all her land will fall in Babylon.
Me Babulona i hoohina'i i ka poe i houia o ka Iseraela, Pela no ma Babulona e hina'i ka poe i houia o ka honua a pau.
50 Survivors of the sword, go away! Do not stay still. Call Yahweh to mind from far away; let Jerusalem come to mind.
E hele oukou, e ka poe i pakele i ka pahikaua, Mai ku malie; e hoomanao ia Iehova ma kahi loihi aku, E hoomanao hoi ia Ierusalema iloko o ko oukou naau.
51 We are ashamed, for we have heard insults; reproach has covered our faces, for foreigners have entered the holy places of Yahweh's house.
Ua hoohilahilaia makou, no ka mea, ua lohe makou i ka hoowahawaha: Ua uhiia ko makou maka i ka hilahila; No ka mea, ua hiki mai na malihini iloko o na keenakapu o ka hale o Iehova.
52 Therefore, see, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will punish her carved idols, and the wounded people will groan in all of her land.
No ia mea, aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la, wahi a Iehova, E hoopai aku ai au i kona mau kii kalaiia; A ma kona aina a puni e kaniuhu ai no ka poe i oia.
53 For even if Babylon went up to the heavens or fortified her highest fortresses, destroyers would come from me to her—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Ina paha i pii aku o Babulona a i ka lani, A ina i hoopaa loa oia i na puu kaua o kona ikaika, E hele aku nae ka poe hao wale, mai o'u aku nei a io na la, wahi a Iehova.
54 A shout of distress came from Babylon, a great collapse from the land of the Chaldeans.
Mai Babulona mai, kui mai ka lono no ka uwe ana, A me ka luku nui ia, mai ka aina o ko Kaledea mai.
55 For Yahweh is destroying Babylon. He is causing her loud voice to perish. Their enemies roar like the waves of many waters; their noise becomes very strong.
No ka mea, ua hao wale o Iehova ia Babulona, A ua hooki hoi i ka walaau nui mai ona aku; A halulu kona mau ale e like me na wai nui, Kani no ka leo o kona walaau.
56 For the destroyers have come against her—against Babylon!—and her warriors have been captured. Their bows are broken, for Yahweh is the God of vengeance; he will surely carry out this repayment.
No ka mea, ua hele mai ka mea hao wale maluna ona, Maluna hoi o Babulona; Ua lawepioia kona poe kanaka ikaika, Ua hai hoi na kakaka a pau o lakou; No ka mea, o Iehova ke Akua hoopai, Oiaio no, e hoopai oia.
57 For I will make her princes, her sages, her officials, and her soldiers drunk, and they will sleep in an unending sleep and never wake up —this is the King's declaration: Yahweh of hosts is his name.
A e hooona aku au i kona poe alii, a me kona poe akamai, I kona poe kiaaina, a me kona mau luna, a me kona poe kanaka ikaika: A e moe no lakou i ka hiamoe mau loa, Aole lakou e ala hou, wahi a ke alii, Nona ka inoa, o Iehova o na kaua.
58 Yahweh of hosts says this: The thick walls of Babylon will be completely demolished, and her high gates will be burned. Then the peoples coming to her aid will labor uselessly; everything that the nations try to do for her will be burned up.”
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua; E oiaio no e hoohiolo loa ia na pa nui o Babulona, A e puhiia i ke ahi kona mau pukapa kiekie; E hooikaika na kanaka a make hewa ka luhi, A o na lahuikanaka hoi, no ke ahi, A e maloeloe lakou.
59 This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah son of Neriah son of Mahseiah when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was a chief officer.
O ka olelo a Ieremia a ke kaula i kauoha'i ia Seraia, i keiki a Neria, i ke keiki a Maaseia, i ka manawa ana i hele pu aku ai i Babulona me Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka makahiki aha o kona noho alii ana. He luna noho malie o ua Seraia nei.
60 For Jeremiah had written in a scroll about all the disaster that was going to come on Babylon—all these words that were written about Babylon.
A kakau no Ieremia iloko o ka buke i ka hewa a pau e hiki mai ana maluna o Babulona, i keia mau olelo a pau hoi i palapalaia no Babulona.
61 Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you go to Babylon, then you will see and you will read these words aloud.
Olelo mai la o Ieremia ia Seraia, A hiki aku oe i Babulona, a ike, a heluhelu hoi i keia mau olelo a pau;
62 Then you will say, 'Yahweh, you yourself have declared that you would destroy this place, and that no man or animal will live in it, and it will be desolate forever.'
Alaila, e i aku oe, E Iehova, ua olelo ku e mai oe i keia wahi, e hooki iho, i mea e koe ole ai kekahi mea iloko ona, aohe kanaka, aohe holoholona, aka, e neoneo mau loa aku no.
63 Then when you have finished reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates.
A hiki i ka manawa e hoopau ai oe i ka heluhelu ana i keia buke, alaila e nakinaki i ka pohaku me ka buke, a e hoolei aku iwaenakonu o Euperate.
64 Say, 'Babylon will sink like this. It will not arise because of the disaster that I am sending against it, and they will fall.'” Jeremiah's words end here.
A e i aku oe, Pela e poho ai o Babulona, aole o ala hou, mai ka hewa a'u e lawe ai maluna ona. A e maloeloe lakou. A ia nei na olelo a Ieremia.
