< Jeremiah 22 >

1 The LORD said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there:
KE olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E iho oe ilalo i ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda, a e olelo malaila i keia olelo;
2 ‘Hear the LORD’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
E i aku, E hoolohe oe i ka olelo a Iehova, e ke alii o ka Iuda, ka mea noho ma ka nohoalii o Davida, o oe, a me kau poe kauwa, a me kou poe kanaka, na mea komo iloko o keia mau pukapa.
3 The LORD says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; E hana oukou i ka hooponopono, a me ka maikai, a e hoopakele i ka mea i haoia, mai ka lima aku o ka mea hookaumaha: mai hana i ka mea i hewa, mai hana i ka mea kolohe i ka malihini, a i ke kieki makuaole, a i ka wahine kanemake: mai hookahe hoi i ke koko hala ole ma keia wahi.
4 For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people.
No ka mea, ina hana io oukou i keia, alaila, e komo mai no ma na pukapa o keia hale, he poe alii, e noho ana ma ka nohoalii o Davida, e holo ana hoi maloko o na kaakaua, a maluna o na lio, oia, a me kana poe kauwa, a me kona poe kanaka.
5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says the LORD, “that this house will become a desolation.”’”
Aka, ina aole oukou e hoolohe i keia mau olelo, ke hoohiki nei au ia'u iho, wahi a Iehova, e lilo no keia hale i neoneo.
6 For the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova i ko ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda; O oe no o Gileada ia'u, o ke poo hoi o Lebanona. He oiaio, e hoolilo no wau ia oe i waonahele, i kulanakauhale noho ole ia.
7 I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
A na'u hoi e hoomakaukau i poe luku aku ia oe, o kela mea keia mea, me kona mea eha: a na lakou e kua ilalo i kou mau kedera maikai, a e kiola ia lakou iloko o ke ahi.
8 “Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this great city?’
A e nui loa auanei na lahuikanaka e hele ae a hala keia kulanakauhale, a e olelo kela mea keia mea o lakou i kona hoa, No keaha la i haua mai ai o Iehova ia mea i keia kulanakauhale nui?
9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.’”
Alaila, e olelo no lakou, No ka mea, ua haalele lakou i ka berita o Iehova, ko lakou Akua, a ua hoomaua i na'kua e, a ua malama ia lakou.
10 Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country.
Mai uwe oukou no ka mea i make, mai kanikau ia ia; e uwe nui i ka mea i hele aku; no ka mea, aole ia e hoi hou mai, aole e ike hou i kona aina hanau.
11 For the LORD says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more.
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova no Saluma, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, ka mea i noho aupuni ma ka hakahaka o Iosia, o kona makua, ka mea i hele, mai keia wahi aku; aole ia e hoi hou ilaila:
12 But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.”
Aka, e make no oia ma kahi a lakou i lawepio ai ia ia, aole e ike hou mai i keia aina.
13 “Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;
Auwe ka mea kukulu i kona hale me ka pono ole, a me kona mau keena maluna, me ka mea aole i maikai, ka mea hoohana wale i kona hoalauna, aole hoi i uku mai no kana hana ana;
14 who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.
Ka mea i olelo, E hana no wau i hale akea no'u me na keena nui maluna; a kalai hoi i mau puka makani nona; a ua kapiliia i ka laau kedera, a ua penaia i ka ulaula.
15 “Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
E noho aupuni anei oe no kou hoopuni ana ia oe i ke kedera? Aole anei i ai, a inu kou makuakane, a hana i ka hooponopono, a me ka pololei, alaila, ua pomaikai oia?
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me?” says the LORD.
Nana no i hooponopono i ka hihia o ka poe hune, a me ka poe nele, alaila, pomaikai. Aole anei oia ka i ike mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova?
17 But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”
Aka, aohe mea ma kou mau maka, a ma kou naau, o kou makeewaiwai no, a me ka hookahe i ke koko hala ole, a me ka hookaumaha, a me ka lawe wale, e hana hoi.
18 Therefore the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They won’t lament for him, saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’ They won’t lament for him, saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’
Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova no Iehoiakima, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda; Aole lakou e kumakena ia ia, me ka i iho, Auwe kuu kaikuaana! auwe kuu kaikuwahine! aole lakou e kumakena ia ia, me ka i iho, Auwe ka haku! auwe kona nani!
19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
E kanuia no ia me ke kanu ana o ka hoki, i hukiia a kiolaia'ku mawaho aku o na pukapa o Ierusalema.
20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers have been destroyed.
E pii aku oe i Lebanona, a e kahea aku, e hookiekie hoi i kou leo ma Banana, a e kahea aku ma kela aoao; no ka mea, ua lukuia kou poe ipo a pau.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity, but you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey my voice.
I kou wa i pomaikai ai, olelo aku la no wau ia oe, aka, olelo mai oe, Aole au e hoolohe: oia hoi kou aoao, mai kou wa opiopio mai, no ka mea, aole oe i hoolohe i ko'u leo.
22 The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.
Na ka makani no e hoopau i kou mau kahu a pau; a e hele no kou poe ipo iloko o ke pio. Oiaio, i kela wa, e hilahila no oe, a e hoopalai no hoi, no kou hewa a pau.
23 Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!
E ka mea noho ma Lebanona, ka mea hana i kou punana maloko o na laau kedera; pehea la oe e alohaia mai ai i ka wa e hiki mai ai kou eha, o ke kuakoko hoi, e like me ko ka wahine hanau keiki?
24 “As I live,” says the LORD, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.
Me au e ola nei, wahi a Iehova, ina o Konia, ke keiki a Iehoiakima, ke alii o ka Iuda, ina paha oia ka hoailona ma ko'u lima akau; e uhuki aku no au ia oe malaila mai.
25 I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
A e haawi aku no au ia oe iloko o ka lima o ka poe e imi nei i kou ola, a iloko hoi o ka lima o ka poe nona ka maka au e makau nei, iloko o ka lima hoi o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, a iloko o ka lima o ko Kaledea.
26 I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
A e kipaku aku no wau ia oe, a me kou makuwahine nana oe i hanau, i ka aina e, i kahi o oukou i hanau ole ia'i; a malaila oukou e make ai.
27 But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”
Aka, o ka aina a lakou e makemake ai e hoi mai; aole lakou e hoi mai ilaila.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?
O keia kanaka, o Konia, he kii anei oia i hoowahawahaia, a naha no hoi? He ipu anei i makemake ole ia? No ke aha lakou i kipakuia'ku ai, oia, a me kana hua, a ua hooleiia iloko o ka aina a lakou i ike ole ai?
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the LORD’s word!
E ka honua, ka honua, ka honua, E hoolohe oe i ka olelo a Iehova:
30 The LORD says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E palapala oe i keia kanaka, ua keiki ole, he kanaka pomaikai ole i kona mau la: no ka mea, aohe kanaka o kana hua e pomaikai ana, e noho ana ma ka nohoalii o Davida, a e noho aupuni hou ana ma ka Iuda.
