Jeremiah 8
1 “At that time,” says Yahweh, “they will bring the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of his princes, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
I KELA manawa, wahi a Iehova, e lawe mai no lakou i na iwi o na'lii o ka Iuda, a me na iwi o na luna, a me na iwi o na kahuna, a me na iwi o na kaula, a me na iwi o ka poe i noho ma Ierusalema, mawaho o ko lakou mau halelua;
2 They will spread them before the sun, the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, which they have served, after which they have walked, which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They will not be gathered or be buried. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth.
A e kaulai no hoi lakou ia mau mea i ka la, a i ka mahina, a i na hoku a pau o ka lani, i na mea a lakou i makemake ai, a i hookauwa ai hoi na lakou, a i hahai mamuli o lakou, a i imi ia lakou, a i hoomana ia lakou; aole e hoiliiliia ia mau iwi, aole hoi e kanu hou ia; e lilo lakou i mea kipulu maluna o ka honua.
3 Death will be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says Yahweh of Armies.
A e kohoia ka make, aole o ke ola, e na kanaka i koe, o keia poe i hookoeia o keia hanauna hewa, o ka poe i koe ma na wahi a pau a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
4 “Moreover you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh says: “‘Do men fall, and not rise up again? Does one turn away, and not return?
A e olelo aku no hoi oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, E hina anei lakou a ala ole mai? E huli aku anei ia, a hoi ole mai?
5 Why then have the people of Jerusalem fallen back by a perpetual backsliding? They cling to deceit. They refuse to return.
Heaha ka mea e hoihope ai keia poe kanaka o Ierusalema me ka hoihope mau loa? Hoopaa loa lakou i ka wahahee; hoole lakou, aole e hoi mai.
6 I listened and heard, but they didn’t say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
Hoolohe aku la au, a lohe, aole lakou i olelo pololei: aohe kanaka i mihi i kona hewa, me ka olelo iho, Heaha ka'u i hana'i? Huli no kela mea keia mea i kona aoao, e like me ka lio i holo ino iloko o ke kaua.
7 Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times. The turtledove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don’t know Yahweh’s law.
Oia, ua ike no ke setoreka ma ka lani i ka manawa pono: a malama no hoi ke kuhukuku, a me ka manu u, a me ka manuioio i ko lakou wa e hele mai ai: aka, o ko'u poe kanaka, aole ike lakou i ka hoopono o Iehova.
8 “‘How do you say, “We are wise, and Yahweh’s law is with us”? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made that a lie.
Pehea la oukou e olelo ai, Ua akamai makou, a eia ia makou ke kanawai o Iehova? Aia hoi, ua hoololi ka peni hoopunipuni a ka poe kakauolelo ia mea i wahahee.
9 The wise men are disappointed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold, they have rejected Yahweh’s word. What kind of wisdom is in them?
E hilahila auanei ka poe akamai, e makau, a e pio. Aia hoi, ua hoole lakou i ka olelo a Iehova: heaha hoi ke akamai iloko o lakou?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to others and their fields to those who will possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
Nolaila, e haawi aku au i ka lakou poe wahine na hai, a me ko lakou mahinaai no ka poe hou e noho iho ai; no ka mea, ua makee waiwai kela mea, keia mea o lakou, mai ka mea uuku o lakou a i ka mea nui; a mai ke kaula a i ke kahuna, hana no kela mea keia mea ma ka wahahee.
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.
Ua hoola hapa lakou i ka eha o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, me ka olelo iho, He malu, he malu: aole hoi he malu.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed. They couldn’t blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says Yahweh.
Ua hilahila anei lakou i ka lakou hana ana i ka mea e hoopailua'i? Ole, aole lakou i hilahila iki, aole hoi i ike i ka hoopalaimaka; nolaila lakou e haule ai iwaena o ka poe haule; a ia lakou e hoopaiia'i, alaila lakou e kulaina'i, wahi a Iehova.
13 “‘I will utterly consume them, says Yahweh. No grapes will be on the vine, no figs on the fig tree, and the leaf will fade. The things that I have given them will pass away from them.’”
Oiaio, e hoopau no au ia lakou, wahi a Iehova; aole e loaa na hua ma ko lakou kumuwaina, aole hoi he fiku ma ka laau fiku, a e mae wale ka lau; a e lilo ia mau mea na ka poe hele mai maluna o lakou.
14 “Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves! Let’s enter into the fortified cities, and let’s be silent there; for Yahweh our God has put us to silence, and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against Yahweh.
No ke aha la kakou e noho malie ai? E hoakoakoa oukou, a e komo iloko o na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, a malaila kakou e noho ekemu ole ai; no ka mea, e luku mai o Iehova ia kakou, a e hoohainu mai ia kakou i ka wai o ke au, no ka mea, ua hana hewa kakou ia Iehova.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
Kakali kakou i ka malu; aohe pono: a i ka manawa o ke ola, aia hoi, he popilikia!
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan. The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.”
Ua loheia ka hau ana o na lio mai Dana mai; haalulu ka aina a pau no ka uhuuhu ana o ka poe ikaika: no ka mea, ua hiki mai lakou, a ua hoopau lakou i ka aina, a me na mea a pau maloko olaila, i ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe noho maloko olaila.
17 “For, behold, I will send serpents, adders among you, which will not be charmed; and they will bite you,” says Yahweh.
No ka mea, aia hoi, e hoouna aku no au i na nahesa, a me na moo pepeiaohao iwaena o oukou, aole hoi lakou e hoowalewaleia, a e nahu mai no lakou ia oukou, wahi a Iehova.
18 Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
I maha no kuu kaumaha, ua maule no ko'u naau iloko o'u.
19 Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: “Isn’t Yahweh in Zion? Isn’t her King in her?” “Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign idols?”
Aia hoi, ka leo o ka uwe ana o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, ma ka aina mamao mai; Aole anei o Iehova ma Ziona? Aole anei kona alii iloko ona? No ke aha la lakou i hoonaukiuki mai nei ia'u i ko lakou kii kalaiia, a me na mea lapuwale no kahi e mai?
20 “The harvest is past. The summer has ended, and we are not saved.”
Ua hala ka hoiliili ai ana, ua pau no ke kau, aole hoi kakou i hoolaia.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people, I am hurt. I mourn. Dismay has taken hold of me.
Ua eha au no ka eha ana o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka; ua eleele au, ua loohia au i ka pilihua.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn’t the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Aole anei he nini ma Gileada? aole anei he kahuna lapaau malaila? No ke aha la i loaa ole ai ke ola no ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka?
