< Jeremiah 17 >

1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond, Graven on the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars,
U A palapalaia ka hewa o ka Iuda, me ka peni hao, me kahi oi hoi o ka daimana; ua kahakahaia hoi ma ka papa o ko lakou naau, a ma na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu;
2 As their sons remember their altars and their shrines, By the green tree, by the high hills.
I ka hoomanao ana o ka lakou keiki i ko lakou kuahu, a me ko lakou ululaau ma na laau uliuli maluna o na puu kiekie.
3 O My mountain in the field — thy strength, All thy treasures — for a prey I give, Thy high places for sin in all thy borders.
E kuu mauna ma ke kula, e haawi no wau i kou waiwai, a me kou ukana a pau i pio, a me kou mau wahi kiekie i hewa, ma kou mau mokuna a pau.
4 And thou hast let go — even through thyself, Of thine inheritance that I gave to thee, And I have caused thee to serve thine enemies, In a land that thou hast not known, For a fire ye have kindled in Mine anger, Unto the age it doth burn.
A o oe, e hele aku no oe, mai kou hooilina aku, ka mea a'u i haawi aku ai ia oe; a e hoolilo aku au ia oe i kauwa na kou poe enemi ma ka aina au i ike ole ai: no ka mea, ua hoa oukou i ke ahi ma kuu ukiuki, a e a mau loa aku no ia.
5 Thus said Jehovah: Cursed [is] the man who doth trust in man, And hath made flesh his arm, And from Jehovah whose heart turneth.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E poino ana ke kanaka i hilinai i ke kanaka, a manao iho la i ka io i ikaika nona, a haalele kona naau ia Iehova.
6 And he hath been as a naked thing in a desert, And doth not see when good cometh, And hath inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.
E like auanei ia me kahi i haaleleia maloko o ka waonahele, aole ia e ike i ka wa e hiki mai ai ka maikai; aka, e noho no oia ma na wahi maloo ma ka waonahele, ma ka aina hua ole, a noho ole ia.
7 Blessed [is] the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.
Pomaikai ke kanaka i hilinai aku ia Iehova, a o Iehova hoi kona mea e manaolana'i.
8 And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.
E like auanei ia me ka laau i kanuia ma na wai, a kupu ae la kona mau aa ma kahi mau; aole hoi ia e ike i ka hiki ana mai o ka wela; aka, e uliuli no kona lau; a i ka makahiki wi, aole ia e makau, aole hoi e hooki oia i ka hoohua ana mai i ka hua.
9 Crooked [is] the heart above all things, And it [is] incurable — who doth know it?
He hoopunipuni ka naau mamua o na mea a pau, a ua hewa loa hoi ia; owai ka mea hiki ke hoomaopopo?
10 I Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.
Owau, o Iehova, ke huli nei au i ka naau, ke hoao nei au i ka opu, e haawi i kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kona mau aoao, e like hoi me ka hua o kana mau hana.
11 A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, [Is] one making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he doth forsake it, And in his latter end — he is a fool.
E like me ka manu aihue i hoopunana i na hua ana i hanau ole ai; pela no ka mea i loaa ka waiwai ma ka pono ole, iwaenakonu o kona mau la, e waiho oia ia mea, a i kona hope, e lapuwale oia.
12 A throne of honour on high from the beginning, The place of our sanctuary,
He nohoalii nani kiekie loa, mai kinohi mai, oia kahi o ko makou keenakapu.
13 The hope of Israel [is] Jehovah, All forsaking Thee are ashamed, And 'My apostates' in the earth are written, For they have forsaken Jehovah, A fountain of living waters.
E Iehova, ka mea e manaolana'i o ka Iseraela, o ka poe a pau e haalele ia oe, e hilahila auanei lakou, a o ka poe e haalele ia'u, e kahakahaia lakou ma ka honua, no ka mea, ua haalele lakou ia Iehova, i ke kumu o na wai ola.
14 Heal me, O Jehovah, and I am healed, Save me, and I am saved, for my praise [art] Thou.
E hoola mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, a e hoolaia mai no wau; e hoopakele mai oe ia'u a e hoopakeleia mai no wau; no ka mea, o oe no ka'u e kaena ai.
15 Lo, they are saying unto me: 'Where [is] the word of Jehovah? pray, let it come.'
Aia hoi, ke olelo mai nei lakou ia'u, Auhea ka olelo a Iehova? E hele mai ia, ano.
16 And I hastened not from feeding after Thee, And the desperate day I have not desired, Thou — Thou hast known, The produce of my lips, before Thy face it hath been,
Aole au i hoolalelale ia'u iho mai ka noho kahuhipa ana, e hahai mamuli ou, aole hoi au i makemake ia la kaumaha, ua ike no oe. O ka mea i puka aku iwaho o ko'u mau lehelehe, ua pololei no ia imua ou.
17 Be not Thou to me for a terror, My hope [art] Thou in a day of evil.
Mai lilo oe i mea makau no'u; o oe no ko'u mea e manaolana'i, i ka la o ka hewa.
18 Let my pursuers be ashamed, and let not me be ashamed — me! Let them be affrighted, and let not me be affrighted — me! Bring in on them a day of evil, And a second time [with] destruction destroy them.
E hoohilahilaia ka poe hoomaau mai ia'u, mai hookuu ia'u i ka hoohilahilaia. E hoopilihua ia lakou, mai hookuu ia'u i ka hoopilihuaia. E lawe mai oe maluna o lakou i ka la o ka hewa, a e luku hoi oe ia lakou i ka luku papalua.
19 Thus said Jehovah unto me: 'Go, and thou hast stood in the gate of the sons of the people, by which kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all gates of Jerusalem,
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ia'u penei, O hele, e ku ma ka pukapa o na keiki a ko'u poe kanaka, kahi e komo mai ai na'lii o ka Iuda, ma kahi hoi e puka aku ai lakou iwaho, a ma na pukapa a pau hoi o Ierusalema;
20 and thou hast said unto them: Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are coming in by these gates,
A e i aku ia lakou, E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e na'lii o ka Iuda, a me ka Iuda a pau, a me ka poe a pau e noho ana ma Ierusalema, ka poe komo iloko, ma keia mau pukapa.
21 Thus said Jehovah, Take ye heed to yourselves, And ye bear not a burden on the day of rest, Nor have ye brought [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E malama oukou i ko oukou kino iho; mai halihali oukou i ka mea halihali i ka la Sabati, aole hoi e lawe mai iloko, ma na pukapa o Ierusalema.
22 Nor do ye take out a burden from your houses on the day of rest, Yea, any work ye do not do, And ye have sanctified the day of rest, As I have commanded your fathers.
Mai lawe aku hoi i ka haawe mawaho aku o ko oukou mau hale i ka la Sabati; mai hana hoi i kekahi hana; aka, e hoano oukou i ka la Sabati, me au i kauoha aku ai i ko oukou poe kupuna.
23 And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive instruction.
Aole lakou i hoolohe, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko lakou mau pepeiao, aka, hooolea lakou i ko lakou a-i i mea e lohe ole ai lakou, i mea hoi, e loaa ole ai ia lakou ka naauao.
24 And it hath been, if ye certainly hearken unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, So as not to bring in a burden By the gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day of rest, So as not to do in it any work —
A ina e hoolohe pono mai oukou ia'u, wahi a Iehova, a lawe ole i ka mea lawe maloko o na pukapa o ke kulanakauhale i ka la Sabati: aka, hoano oukou i ka la Sabati, a hana ole i kekahi hana ia la;
25 Then entered by the gates of this city have kings and princes, Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in a chariot, and on horses, They, and their princes, the man of Judah, And inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city hath remained to the age.
Alaila, e komo mai no iloko o na pukapa o keia kulanakauhale, na'lii, a me na luna, e noho ana ma ka nohoalii o Davida, e holo ana hoi maloko o na halekaa, a maluna o na lio, o lakou, a me ko lakou luna, o na kanaka o ka Iuda, a me ka poe noho ma Ierusalema; a e hoomau loa ia aku no keia kulanakauhale.
26 And they have come in from cities of Judah, And from suburbs of Jerusalem, And from the land of Benjamin, And from the low country, And from the hill-country, and from the south, Bringing in burnt-offering, and sacrifice, And present, and frankincense, And bringing praise [to] the house of Jehovah.
A e hele mai no lakou, mai na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda mai, a no na wahi mawaho o Ierusalema a puni, a mai ka aina o Beniamina mai, a mai na papu mai, a mai na mauna mai, a mai ke kukuluhema mai, e lawe ana i na mohnikuni, a me na alana, a me na mohai makana, a me ka mea ala, e lawe ana hoi i na mea aloha, a i ka hale o Iehova.
27 And if ye do not hearken unto me to sanctify the day of rest, And so as not to bear a burden, And to come in at the gates of Jerusalem on the day of rest, Then I have kindled a fire in its gates, And it hath consumed the high places of Jerusalem, And it is not quenched!'
Aka, ina aole oukou e hoolohe mai ia'u, e hoano i ka la Sabati, a e lawe ole hoi i ka mea lawe, e komo ana hoi iloko ma na pukapa o Ierusalema i ka la Sabati; alaila, e hoa no wau i ke ahi ma kona mau pukapa, a e hoopau no ia i na hale alii o Ierusalema, aole hoi ia e kinaiia.
