Jeremiah 6
1 Find safety, people of Benjamin, by leaving Jerusalem. Blow a trumpet in Tekoa. Raise up over Beth Hakkerem a signal, since wickedness is appearing from the north; a great crushing is coming.
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 daughter of Zion, the beautiful and delicate woman, will be destroyed.
Ua hoopau no au i ke kaikamahine o Ziona, i ka mea puloku, a palupalu.
3 The shepherds and their flocks will go to them; they will set up tents against her all around; each man will shepherd with his own 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 “Dedicate yourselves to the gods for the battle. Arise, let us attack at noon. It is too bad that the daylight is fading away, that the evening shadows are falling.
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 But let us attack at night and destroy her fortresses.”
E ku mai, e hele hoi kakou i ka po, a e wawahi i kona mau hale alii.
6 For Yahweh of hosts says this: Cut her trees, and heap up siegeworks against Jerusalem. This is the right city to attack, because it is filled with oppression.
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 pours out fresh water, so this city keeps producing wickedness. Violence and disorder are heard within her; sickness and wounds are continually before my face.
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 Accept discipline, Jerusalem, or I will turn away from you and make you into a ruin, an uninhabited land.'”
E aoia oe, e Ierusalema, o haalele kuu uhane ia oe, a hooneoneo aku hoi au ia oe, he aina noho ole ia.
9 Yahweh of hosts says this, “They will certainly glean those who are left in Israel like a vineyard. Reach out again with your hand to pick grapes from the vines.
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 should I declare and warn so they will listen? Look! Their ears are uncircumcised; they are not able to pay attention! Look! The word of Yahweh has come to them to correct them, but they do not want 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 But I am filled with Yahweh's fury. I am tired of holding it in. He said, to me, “Pour it out on the children in the streets and on the groups of young men. For every man will be taken away with his wife; and every old person heavy with years.
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 will be turned over to others, both their fields and their wives together. For I will attack the inhabitants of the land with my hand—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 Yahweh declares that from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain. From the prophet to the priest, all of them practice deceit.
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 the wounds of my people lightly, 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 practiced abominations? They were not ashamed; they did not know how to blush! So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says 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 Yahweh says this, “Stand at the road crossing and look; ask for the ancient pathways. 'Where is this good way?' Then go on it and find a resting place for yourselves. But the people say, 'We will not go.'
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 appointed for you watchmen to listen for 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, nations, listen! See, you witnesses, 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! See, I am about to bring disaster to this people—the fruit of their thoughts. They paid no attention to my word or law, but they instead 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 does this frankincense going up from Sheba mean to me? Or these sweet smells from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable to me, nor are your sacrifices.
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 So Yahweh says this, 'See, I am about to place a stumbling block against this people. They will stumble over it—fathers and sons together. Inhabitants and their neighbors will also 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 Yahweh says this, 'See, a people is coming from the land of the north, a great nation is being stirred up from the farthest 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 will pick up bows and spears. They are cruel and have no compassion. Their sound is like the sea roar, and they are riding on horses, set out in order as men for 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 the reports about them and our hands fall limp in distress. Anguish seizes us as a woman 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 to the fields, and do not walk on the roads, for the swords of the enemy and terror are all around.
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, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes; mourn with painful sobs as for an only son, for the destroyer will suddenly 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 “I have made you, Jeremiah, one who tests my people like one would test metal, so you will inspect and test their ways.
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 the most stubborn of people, who go about slandering others. All of them are bronze and iron, acting 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 are scorched by the fire that is burning them; the lead is consumed in the flames. The refining continues among them, but it is useless, because the evil is not removed.
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 They will be called rejected silver, for Yahweh has rejected them.”
E kapaia no lakou, he kala i haaleleia, no ka mea, ua haalele o Iehova ia lakou.
