< Jeremiah 22 >

1 Thus said Jehovah, 'Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and thou hast spoken there this word, and hast said,
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 a word of Jehovah, O king of Judah, who art sitting on the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people, who are coming in at 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 Thus said Jehovah: Do ye judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, ye do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood ye do not shed 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 ye certainly do this thing, Then come in by the gates of this house Have kings sitting for David on his throne, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his 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 And if ye do not hear these words, By myself I have sworn — an affirmation of Jehovah, That this house is for 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 thus said Jehovah, Concerning the house of the king of Judah: Gilead [art] thou to Me — head of Lebanon, If not — I make thee a wilderness, Cities 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 And I have separated for thee destroyers, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of thy cedars, And have cast them on 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 And many nations have passed by this city, And they have said, each to his neighbour, For what hath Jehovah done thus 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 And they have said, 'Because that they have forsaken The covenant of Jehovah their God, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve 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 Ye do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep ye sore for the traveller, For he doth not return again, Nor hath he seen the land of his birth.
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 thus said Jehovah concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of Josiah his father, who hath gone forth from this place: He doth not turn back hither again;
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 For in the place whither they have removed him he dieth, And this land he doth not see again.
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 is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, On his neighbour he layeth service for nought, And his wage he doth not give to him.
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 is saying, 'I build for myself a large house, And airy upper chambers,' And he hath cut out for himself its windows, Ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
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 Dost thou reign, because thou art fretting thyself in cedar? Thy father — did he not eat and drink? Yea, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] 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 decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well — is it not to know Me? An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 thine eyes and thy heart are not, Except on thy dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of 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, thus said Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: They do not lament for him, Ah, my brother, and Ah, sister, They do not lament for him, Ah, lord, and Ah, his honour.
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 The burial of an ass — he is buried, Dragged and cast out thence to 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, And in Bashan give forth thy voice, And cry from Abarim, For destroyed have been all loving thee.
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 have spoken unto thee in thine ease, Thou hast said, 'I do not hearken,' This [is] thy way from thy youth, For thou hast not hearkened to 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 All thy friends consume doth wind, And thy lovers into captivity do go, Surely then thou art ashamed, And hast blushed for all thy 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 O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious hast thou been when pangs come to thee, Pain — as of a travailing woman.
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 I live — an affirmation of Jehovah, Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah Were a seal on My right hand, Surely thence I draw thee away,
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 And I have given thee into the hand of those seeking thy life, And into hands of which thou art afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 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 And I have cast thee, And thy mother who bore thee, unto another country, Where ye were not born, and there do ye 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 And to the land whither they are lifting up their soul to return, Thither they do not return.
Aka, o ka aina a lakou e makemake ai e hoi mai; aole lakou e hoi mai ilaila.
28 A grief — a despised broken thing — is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Wherefore have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Yea, they were cast on to a land that they knew not?
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 Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of Jehovah,
E ka honua, ka honua, ka honua, E hoolohe oe i ka olelo a Iehova:
30 Thus said Jehovah: Write ye this man childless, A man — he doth not prosper in his days, For none of his seed doth prosper, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling again 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.
