Ieremia 10
1 E HOOLOHE mai oukou i ka olelo a Iehova e olelo mai nei ia oukou, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela.
Give ear to the word which the Lord says to you, O people of Israel:
2 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei. Mai ao oukou i ka aoao o ko na aina e; a mai makau hoi oukou i na ouli o ka lani; no ka mea, ua makau ko na aina e ia lakou.
This is what the Lord has said: Do not go in the way of the nations; have no fear of the signs of heaven, for the nations go in fear of them.
3 No ka mea, o na aoao o na kanaka, he lapuwale ia; no ka mea, kua no kekahi i ka laau ma ka ulu laau me ke koi lipi, o ka hana hoi a ka paahana.
For that which is feared by the people is foolish: it is the work of the hands of the workman; for a tree is cut down by him out of the woods with his axe.
4 A kahiko no lakou ia mea i ke kala a me ke gula; hoopaa no lakou ia mea i ke kui hao, a me na hamare, i kulaualana ole ia.
They make it beautiful with silver and gold; they make it strong with nails and hammers, so that it may not be moved.
5 Ku pono no lakou, e like me ka laau pama, aole nae i olelo; he oiaio no, ua kaikaiia lakou, no ka mea, aole hiki ia lakou ke hele. Mai makau ia lakou, no ka mea, aole hiki ia lakou ke hana mai; i ka hewa, aole hoi iloko o lakou ke hana i ka maikai.
It is like a pillar in a garden of plants, and has no voice: it has to be lifted, for it has no power of walking. Have no fear of it; for it has no power of doing evil and it is not able to do any good.
6 Aohe mea like me oe, e Iehova: ua nui oe, ua kaulana hoi kou inoa no ka maua.
There is no one like you, O Lord; you are great and your name is great in power.
7 Owai ka mea makau ole ia oe e ke Alii o na ainai? No ka mea, ku pono ia ia oe; no ka mea, iwaena o ka poe akamai a pau o na aina, a iloko hoi o ko lakou aupuni a pau, aohe mea like me oe.
Who would not have fear of you, O King of the nations? for it is your right: for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.
8 Ua like io no lakou me na holoholona, ua lapuwale hoi; o ka naauuo o ka poe lapuwale, he pauku laau ia.
But they are together like beasts and foolish: the teaching of false gods is wood.
9 Ua laweia mai na papa kala, mai Taresisa mai. a o ke gula hoi, mai Upaza mai, ka hana a ka paahana, a ka lima hoi o ka mea hoohehee kala. He poni uliuli, a he poni ulaula ko lakou lole; o ka hana hoi a ka poe akamai oia mau mea a pau.
Silver hammered into plates is sent from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the expert workman and of the hands of the gold-worker; blue and purple is their clothing, all the work of expert men.
10 Aka o Iehova no ke Akua oiaio, oia ke Akua ola, o ko alii mau loa hoi. E haalulu auanei ka honua i kona ukiuki, aole hoi e hiki i na lahuikanaka ke hoomanawanui i kona inaina.
But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and an eternal king: when he is angry, the earth is shaking with fear, and the nations give way before his wrath.
11 Penei oukou e olelo ai ia lakou, O na'kua i hana ole i na lani, a me ka honua, e make auanei lakou, mai ka honua aku, a mailalo aku hoi o keia mau lani.
This is what you are to say to them: The gods who have not made the heavens and the earth will be cut off from the earth and from under the heavens.
12 Ua hana no oia i ka honua i kona mana, a ua hookumu hoi i ke ao nei i kona akamai, a ua hoopalahalaha ae i na lani i kona naauao.
He has made the earth by his power, he has made the world strong in its place by his wisdom, and by his wise design the heavens have been stretched out.
13 I ka pane ana o kona leo, ua nui loa na wai ma na lani, oia hoi ka inea i pii aku ai ka mahu, mai na kukulu aku o ka honua; naua no i hana na uwila, a me ka ua, a hoopuka mai oia i ka makani, mai kona waihona mai.
At the sound of his voice there is a massing of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain, and sends out the wind from his store-houses.
14 Me he holoholona la kela kanaka, keia kanaka ma ka ike; hilahila hoi na mea hoohehee kala a pau no ke akuakii, no ka mea, he mea wahahee kona kii i hooheheeia, aohe hanu iloko o lakou.
Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.
15 He lapuwale lakou, he hana na ka wahahee; i ko lakou wa e hoopaiia mai ai, e make no lakou.
They are nothing, a work of error: in the time of their punishment, destruction will overtake them.
16 Aole i like ka hooilina o Iakoba me lakou; no ka mea, nana no i hana na mea a pau; a o ka Iseraela hoi ke kookoo o koua hooilina; o Iehova o ua kaua kona inoa.
The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.
17 E lawe nui i kou waiwai, mai ka aina aku, e ka mea noho ma ka pakaua.
Get your goods together and go out of the land, O you who are shut up in the walled town.
18 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Aia hoi, e maa aku no wau i ka poe noho ma ka aina, i ka maa hookahi ana, a e hoopilikia ia lakou, a pela o loaa ia lakou.
For the Lord has said, I will send the people in flight like a stone from the land at this time, troubling them so that they will be conscious of it.
19 Auwe au i kuu eha! ua nui loa ko'u hahauia, aka, i iho la au, He oiaio, he kaumaha keia, e hoomanawanui nae au ia.
Sorrow is mine for I am wounded! my wound may not be made well; and I said, Cruel is my disease, I may not be free from it.
20 Ua wawahiia ko'u halelewa, a ua moku hoi ko'u mau kaula a pau. Ua hele aku ka'u mau keiki, mai o'u aku nei, a ua ole lakou: aohe mea i koe nana e hohola hou i ko'u halelewa, a e kukulu i ko'u mau paku.
My tent is pulled down and all my cords are broken: my children have gone from me, and they are not: no longer is there anyone to give help in stretching out my tent and hanging up my curtains.
21 Ua lilo na kahu i mea e like me na holoholona, aole hoi i imi ia Iehova; nolaila, aole lakou e pomaikai; a e hoopuehu liilii ia ka lakou poe hipa a pau.
For the keepers of the sheep have become like beasts, not looking to the Lord for directions: so they have not done wisely and all their flocks have been put to flight.
22 Aia hoi, ua hiki mai ka leo o ka lono, he haunaele nui, mai ka aina akau mai, i mea e lilo ai na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda i neoneo, i noho ana hoi no na ilio hihiu.
News is going about, see, it is coming, a great shaking is coming from the north country, so that the towns of Judah may be made waste and become the living-place of jackals.
23 E Iehova, ua ike no au, aole iloko o ke kanaka kona aoao iho; aole no ke kanaka hele ke alakai i kona mau kapuwai iho.
O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps.
24 E Iehova, e paipai mai oe ia u, ma ka pono nae, aole ma kou ukiuki, o hooki loa mai oe ia'u.
O Lord, put me right, but with wise purpose; not in your wrath, or you will make me small.
25 E ninini oe i kou ukiuki maluna o ko na aina e, ka poe ike ole ia oe, a maiuna o na ohana i hea ole i kou inoa; no ka mea, ua ai lakou ia Iakoba, a ua hoopau ia ia, a oki loa, a ua hooneoneo i kona wahi i noho ai.
Let your wrath be let loose on the nations which have no knowledge of you, and on the families who give no worship to your name: for they have made a meal of Jacob, truly they have made a meal of him and put an end to him and made his fields a waste.
