< Ieremia 11 >
1 O KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la mai o Iehova mai, i ka i ana mai,
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 E hoolohe oukou i na olelo o keia berita, a e olelo aku i na kanaka o ka Iuda, a i ka poe e noho ana ma Ierusalema;
“Listen to the words of this covenant and tell them to the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.
3 E i aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, E poino auanei ke kanaka i malama ole i na olelo o keia berita,
You must tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,
4 A'u i kauoha aku ai i ko oukou poe kupuna, i ka la a'u i lawe mai ai ia lakou mai ka aina o Aigupita, a mai ke kapuahi hao mai, i ka i ana aku, E hoolohe mai i kuu leo, a e hana i na mea e like me na mea a pau a'u i kauoha aku nei ia oukou; pela oukou e lilo ai i poe kanaka no'u, a owau auanei ko oukou Akua:
which I commanded your forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey Me, and do everything I command you, and you will be My people, and I will be your God.’
5 I hooko wau i ka hoohiki a'u i hoohiki ai i ko oukou poe makua, e haawi ia lakou i ka aina e kahe ana o ka waiu, a me ka mele, e like me ia i keia la. Alaila olelo aku la au, i aku la, Pela io no, e Iehova.
This was in order to establish the oath I swore to your forefathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is to this day.” “Amen, LORD,” I answered.
6 Alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, E kala aku oe i keia mau olelo a pau maloko o na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema, e i aku, E hoolehe oukou i na olelo o keia berita, a e hana hoi ia mau mea.
Then the LORD said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear the words of this covenant and carry them out.
7 No ka mea, olelo ikaika loa aku la au i ko oukou poe makua, i ka la a'u i lawe mai ai ia lakou, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a hiki mai hoi i keia la, e ala ana no i ka wanaao, me ka olelo ikaika aku, i ka i ana, E malama i ko'u leo.
For from the time I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt until today, I strongly warned them again and again, saying, ‘Obey My voice.’
8 Aka, aole lakou i malama, aole i haliu mai i ko lakou pepeiao; hele no kela mea keia mea mamuli o ka paakiki o kona naau hewa: nolaila, e lawe no wau maluna o lakou i na olelo a pau o keia berita, a'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou e hana; a hana ole lakou.
Yet they would not obey or incline their ears, but each one followed the stubbornness of his evil heart. So I brought on them all the curses of this covenant I had commanded them to follow but they did not keep.”
9 A olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ua loaa ke kipi ana iwaena o na kanaka o ka Iuda, a iwaena hoi o ka poe noho ma Ierusalema.
And the LORD told me, “There is a conspiracy among the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.
10 Ua huli hope lakou mamuli o na hewa o ko lakou poe kupuna, ka poe i hoole, aole lakou e hoolohe i ka'u mau olelo: a hahai lakou mamuli o na'kua e, e malama ia lakou. A ua uhaki ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, a me ko ka hale o ka Iuda i ka'u berita, i ka mea a'u i hana'i me ko lakou poe kupuna.
They have returned to the sins of their forefathers who refused to obey My words. They have followed other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant I made with their fathers.
11 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau i ka hewa maluna o lakou, i ka mea hoi e hiki ole ai ia lakou ke pakele aku; a ina kahea mai lakou ia'u, aole au e hoolohe aku ia lakou.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to bring upon them a disaster that they cannot escape. They will cry out to Me, but I will not listen to them.
12 Alaila, e hele no ko na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a me ka poe e noho ana ma Ierusalema, a e kahea aku i na akua, i na mea i kaumaha ai lakou i ka mea aia. Aka, aole e hoola iki mai kela poe akua ia lakou, i ka wa o ko lakou popilikia.
Then the cities of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to which they have been burning incense, but these gods certainly will not save them in their time of disaster.
13 No ka mea, e like me ka heluna o kou mau kulanakauhale, pela no kou poe akua, e ka Iuda; a e like me ka heluna o na alanui o Ierusalema, pela no oukou i hana'i i na kuahu, no ka mea hilahila, i na kuahu hoi e kuni ai i ka mea ala no Baala.
Your gods are indeed as numerous as your cities, O Judah; the altars of shame you have set up—the altars to burn incense to Baal—are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.’
14 Nolaila, mai pule oe no keia poe kanaka, aole hoi e hookiekie i ke kahea ana, a me ka pule ana no lakou; no ka mea, aole au e hoolohe i ka wa e kahea mai ai lakou ia'u no ko lakou popilikia.
As for you, do not pray for these people. Do not raise up a cry or a prayer on their behalf, for I will not be listening when they call out to Me in their time of disaster.
15 Heaha ka kuu mea aloha maloko o ko'u hale? Ua hana oia i ka hewa me na mea he nui, a ua lilo aku la ka io laa, mai ou aku la. Ia oe e hana hewa'i, olioli no oe.
What right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so many evil schemes? Can consecrated meat avert your doom, so that you can rejoice?
16 Kapa aku la o Iehova i kou inoa, He laau oliva uliuli, maikai, a maikai ka hua; me ka leo o ka walaau nui, ua hoa oia i ke ahi maluna ona, a ua uhaiia na lala ona.
The LORD once called you a flourishing olive tree, beautiful with well-formed fruit. But with a mighty roar He will set it on fire, and its branches will be consumed.
17 No ka mea, o Iehova o na kaua, ka mea nana oe i kanu, ua olelo mai no oia i ka hewa nou, no ka hewa o ko ka hale o Iseraela, a me ko ka hale o Iuda, ka mea a lakou i hana'i e ku e ia lakou iho, e hoonaukiuki mai ia'u, i ke kaumaha ana i ka mea ala no Baala.
The LORD of Hosts, who planted you, has decreed disaster against you on account of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have brought upon themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.”
18 A ua hoike mai o Iehova ia'u, a ua ike no wau. Alaila, hoike mai oe ia'u i ka lakou hana ana.
And the LORD informed me, so I knew. Then You showed me their deeds.
19 Aka, ua like no wau me ke keiki hipa, me ka bipi hoi i laweia mai no ke kaluaia. Aole au i ike, ua imi manao hewa mai lakou ia'u, e i ana, E hooki kakou ia laau, a me kona hua, a e uhuki ia ia, mai ka aina aku o ka poe e ola ana, i ole e manao hou ia'i kona inoa.
For I was like a gentle lamb led to slaughter; I did not know that they had plotted against me: “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit; let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be remembered no more.”
20 Aka, o oe o Iehova o na kaua, ka mea hooponopono ma ka pololei, ka mea i hoao i ka opu, a me ka naau, e hoike mai oe ia'u i kou ukiuki ia lakou; no ka mea, ua hoike aku au ia oe i ko'u hihia.
O LORD of Hosts, who judges righteously, who examines the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.
21 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova no na kanaka o Anetota, ka poe i imi i kou ola, me ka olelo mai, Mai wanana mai oe ma ka inoa o Iehova, o make auanei oe i ko makou lima.
Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning the people of Anathoth who are seeking your life and saying, “You must not prophesy in the name of the LORD, or you will die by our hand.”
22 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, Aia hoi, e hoopai no wau ia lakou. E make no na kanaka ui i ka pahikaua; e make no hoi ka lakou poe keikikane, a me ka lakou poe kaikamahine i ka wi.
So this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.
23 Aole hoi e koe mai kekahi o lakou; no ka mea, e lawe mai no wau i ka hewa maluna o na kanaka o Anetota, i ka makahiki hoi o ko lakou hoopaiia.
There will be no remnant, for I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.”
