< Ieremia 11 >
1 O KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la mai o Iehova mai, i ka i ana mai,
The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
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 declare them to each man in Judah and to the inhabitants 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,
Say to them, 'Yahweh, God of Israel says this: Cursed is anyone who does not listen to 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:
This is the covenant that I commanded your ancestors to keep the day I brought them out from the land of Egypt, from the furnace for smelting iron. I said, “Listen to my voice and do all of these things just as I have commanded you, for 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.
Obey me so that I may confirm the oath that I swore to your ancestors, the oath that I would give them the land flowing with milk and honey, where you live today.'” Then I, Jeremiah, answered and said, “Yes, Yahweh!”
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.
Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these things in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. Say, 'Listen to 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 I have been giving solemn commands to your ancestors from the day I brought them up from the land of Egypt until this present time, persistently warning them and saying, “Listen to 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.
But they did not listen or pay attention. Each person has been walking in the stubbornness of his wicked heart. So I brought all the curses in this covenant that I commanded to come against them. But the people still did not obey.”
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.
Next Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy has been discovered among the men of Judah and the inhabitants 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 turned to the iniquities of their earliest ancestors, who refused to listen to my word, who instead walked after other gods to worship them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah broke my covenant that I established with their ancestors.
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 Yahweh says this, 'See, I am about to bring disaster on them, disaster from which they will not be able to escape. Then they will call 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.
The cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and call out to the gods to which they had given offerings, but they will certainly not be saved by them at the time of their 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.
For you Judah, the number of your gods has increased to equal the number of your cities. You have made the number of shameful altars in Jerusalem, incense altars for Baal, equal to the number of her streets.
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.
So you yourself, Jeremiah, must not pray for this people. You must not wail or pray on their behalf. For I will not be listening when they call on me in their 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.
Why is my beloved one, the one who has had so many wicked intentions, in my house? The meat of your sacrifices cannot help you. You rejoice because of your evil actions.
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.
In the past Yahweh called you a leafy olive tree, beautiful with lovely fruit. But he will light a fire on it that will sound like the roar of a storm; its branches will be broken.
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.
For Yahweh of hosts, the one who planted you, has decreed disaster against you because of the wicked acts that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have committed—they have angered me by giving offerings 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.
Yahweh made me know these things, so I know them. You, Yahweh, made me see 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.
I was like a gentle lamb being led to a butcher. I did not know that they had formed plans against me, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit! Let us cut him off from the land of the living so his name will be no longer remembered.”
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.
Yet Yahweh of hosts is the righteous judge who examines the heart and the mind. I will witness your vengeance against them, for I have presented my case to you.
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 Yahweh says this concerning the people of Anathoth who are seeking your life, “They say, 'You must not prophesy in the name of Yahweh, 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.
Therefore Yahweh of hosts says this, 'See, I am about to punish them. Their vigorous young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die 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.
None of them will be left, because I am bringing disaster against the people of Anathoth, a year of their punishment.'”
