Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.
NA olelo a Ieremia, ke keiki a Hilikia, no na kahuna ma Anetota, ma ka aina o ka Beniamina:
2 The LORD’s word came to him in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Hiki mai no ka olelo a Iehova io na la, i na la o Iosia i ke keiki a Amona, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka makahiki umikumamakolu o kona noho aupuni ana:
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
A i na la o Iehoikima ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a hiki i ka pau ana o ka makahiki umikumakahi o Zedekia ke keiki o Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a hiki i ka lawe pio ia ana aku o ko Ierusalema, i ka lima o ka malama.
4 Now the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Mamua aku o ka'u hana ana ia oe iloko o ka opu, ike aku no au ia oe; a mamua aku o kou puka ana mawaho mai o ka opu, hoolaa aku au ia oe, a hoolilo no au ia oe i kaula no na lahuikanaka.
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”
Alaila, i iho la au, Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova! aia hoi, aole au i ike i ka olelo, no ka mea, he keiki no wau.
7 But the LORD said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for you must go to whomever I send you, and you must say whatever I command you.
Aka, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Mai olelo oe, He keiki no wau; no ka mea, e hele aku no oe i ka poe a pau a'u e hoouna aku ai ia oe, a o ka mea a'u e kauoha aku ai ia oe, o kau ia e olelo aku ai.
8 Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says the LORD.
Mai makau i ko lakou maka; no ka mea, owau pu no me oe, e hoopakele ia oe, wahi a Iehova.
9 Then the LORD stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. Then the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
Hohola mai o Iehova i kona lima, a hoopa iho la i ko'u waha; a olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Aia hoi, ua haawi aku au i ka'u mau olelo iloko o kou waha.
10 Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
E nana hoi, ua hoolilo wau ia oe i keia la, maluna o na lahuikanaka a me na aupuni, e uhuki, a e wawahi, a e luku, a e hoohiolo, e kukulu, a e kanu no hoi.
11 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
A hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la, E Ieremia, heaha kau e ike nei? I aku la au, ke ike nei au i kookoo o ka laau alamona.
12 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it.”
Alaila, i mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ua pono kou ike ana; no ka mea, e kiai no wau i ka'u olelo, e hooko ia.
13 The LORD’s word came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a boiling cauldron; and it is tipping away from the north.”
Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, o ka lua ia, i mai la, Heaha kau e ike nei? I aku la au, Ke ike nei au i ka ipuhao e lapalapa ana, a mai ke kukuluakau mai ka huli ana o ka waha.
14 Then the LORD said to me, “Out of the north, evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Mai ke kukuluakau mai e puka mai ai ka hewa maluna o ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ka aina.
15 For behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says the LORD. “They will come, and they will each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
No ka mea, aia hoi, e hea aku no wau i na ohana a pau o na aupuni ma ke kukuluakau, wahi a Iehova; a e hele mai no lakou, a e hoonoho kela mea keia mea o lakou i kona nohoalii ma kahi e komo aku ai i na pukapa o Ierusalema, a ma na pa a pau e puni ana ia wahi, a ma na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Iuda.
16 I will utter my judgements against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense to other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
A e hai aku no au i ko'u hoopai ana ia lakou, no ko lakou hewa a pau, i ka poe i haalele mai ia'u, a i kuni i ka mea ala no na'kua e, a hoomana i ka hana a ko lakou lima iho.
17 “You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and say to them all that I command you. Don’t be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
Nolaila, e kakoo oe i kou puhaka, a e ku mai, a e olelo ia lakou i na mea a pau a'u e kauoha aku ai ia oe. Mai makau oe i ko lakou maka, o hoohilahila aku au ia oe imua o lakou.
18 For behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
No ka mea, aia hoi, ua hana aku au ia oe i keia la i kulanakauhale paa, a i kia hao, a i mau pa keleawe no ka aina a pau, a no na alii o ka Iuda, a no ko lakou mau luna, a no ko lakou mau kahuna, a no na kanaka o ka aina.
19 They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you”, says the LORD, “to rescue you.”
A e kaua mai no lakou ia oe, aole nae lakou e lanakila maluna ou, no ka mea, owau pu no me oe, e hoopakele ia oe, wahi a Iehova.
