Ieremia 13
1 KE olelo mai nei o Iehova ia'u penei, O hele, a e lawe nou i kaei olona, a e hume ma kou puhaka, a mai waiho hoi ia iloko o ka wai.
Thus says the Lord to me: “Go, and obtain for yourself a linen waistcloth. And you shall place it over your loins, and you shall not put it into water.”
2 A lawe iho la au i ke kaei, e like me ka olelo a Iehova, a hume iho la au ma kuu puhaka.
And so I obtained a waistcloth, according to the word of the Lord, and I placed it around my loins.
3 Hiki hou mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, o ka lua ia, i mai la,
And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying:
4 E lawe oe i ke kaei i loaa ia oe, ka mea ma kou puhaka, a e ku iluna, a e hele i Euperate, a e huna ia mea malaila, ma ke ana o ka pohaku.
“Take the waistcloth, which you obtained, which is around your loins, and, rising up, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in an opening of the rock.”
5 A hele aku la au, a huna iho la ia, ma Euperate, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia'u.
And so I went, and I hid it by the Euphrates, just as the Lord had instructed me.
6 A hala na la he nui, alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, E ku iluna, a e hele i Euperate, a e lawe mai i ke kaei a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe e huna malaila.
And it happened that, after many days, the Lord said to me: “Rise up, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the waistcloth, which I instructed you to hide there.”
7 Alaila, hele aku la au i Euperate, a kohi iho la, a lawe ae la i ke kaei, mai kahi aku a'u i huna ai la mea; a aia hoi, ua ino ke kaei, he mea waiwai ole loa hoi.
And so I went to the Euphrates, and I dug up and took the waistcloth from the place where I had hidden it. And behold, the waistcloth had rotted, so that it was not fit for any use.
8 Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E like me keia e hoino aku ai au i ka manao kiekie o ka Iuda, a me ka manao kiekie loa o ko Ierusalema.
“Thus says the Lord: In the same way, I will cause the arrogance of Judah and the arrogance of Jerusalem to rot.
10 O keia poe kanaka hewa, ka poe manao ole e hoolohe i ka'u mau olelo, ka poe i hele ma ka paakiki o ko lakou naau, a hahai hoi mamuli e na akua e, e malama ia lakou, a e hoomana ia lakou, e like auanei lakou me keia kaei, ka mea waiwai ole loa.
This most wicked people, they are not willing to listen to my words, for they walk in the depravity of their own heart, and they have gone after strange gods, so as to serve them and to adore them. And so, they will become like this waistcloth, which is not fit for any use.
11 No ka mea, e like me ke kaei i pili i ka puhaka o ke kanaka, pela i hoopili mai ai au i ko ka hale a pau o ka Iseraela, a me ko ka hale a pau o ka Iuda ia'u, wahi o Iehova; i lilo mai lakou i poe kanaka no'u, a i inoa hoi, a i mea e hoomaikaiia'i, a i nani hoi; aka, aole lakou i hoolohe.
For just as the waistcloth clings to the loins of a man, so have I brought close to me the entire house of Israel and the entire house of Judah, says the Lord, so that they would be to me: a people, and a name, and a praise, and a glory. But they did not listen.
12 Nolaila oe e olelo ai ia lakou i keia olelo; Ke i mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela peneia, E hoopihaia no na hue a pau i ka waina, a e olelo mai no lakou ia oe, Aole anei kakou e ike maopopo, e hoopihaia na hue a pau no i ka waiua?
Therefore, you shall speak to them this word: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Every bottle will be filled with wine.’ And they will say to you: ‘Are we ignorant that every bottle will be filled with wine?’
13 A e olelo aku no oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, o ka poe a pau e noho la ma keia aina, o na'lii e noho ana ma ka noho alii o Davida, o na kahuna, a me na kaula, a me ka poe a pau e noho la ma Ierusalema, e hoopiha no wau ia lakou i ka ona.
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings from the stock of David who sit upon his throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, unto inebriation.
14 A e ulupa no wau ia lakou, kekahi maluna o kekahi, o na makuakane, a me na keikikane pu, wahi a Iehova; aole hoi au e aloha aku, aole au e hookuu, aole au e lokomaikai aku, aka, e anai aku no wau ia lakou.
And I will scatter them, a man from his brother, and fathers and sons similarly, says the Lord. I will not spare them, and I will not pardon them, and I will not take pity, so as not to destroy them.”
15 E hoolohe mai oukou, a e haliu mai hoi ka pepeiao: mai hookano, no ka mea, ua olelo no o Iehova.
Hear and pay close attention. Do not choose to lift yourself up, for the Lord has spoken.
16 E hoonani aku ia Iehova, i ko oukou Akua, mamua o kona hoopoeleele ana mai, a mamua hoi o ke kulanalana ana o ko oukou mau wawae ma na mauna pouli, a oiai oukou e kakali i ka malamalama, hoolilo oia ia i aka no ka make, a hana hoi i pouli loa.
Give glory to the Lord your God, before darkness falls, and before your feet stumble on the darkened mountains. You will expect light, but he will turn it into the shadow of death and into utter darkness.
17 Aka, ina aole oukou e hoolohe ia, alaila, e uwe no kuu uhane no oukou ma na wahi malu, no ka hookano; a e uwe nui loa no ko'u mau maka, a kahe ka waimaka, no ka mea, ua lawepioia ka poe hipa a Iehova.
But if you will not listen to this, then my soul will weep in secret before the face of your pride. It will weep bitterly, and my eyes will flow with tears, because the flock of the Lord has been taken captive.
18 E i aku i ke alii kane a i ke alii wahine, E hoohaahaa ia olua iho, e noho ilalo; no ka mea, e hoohaahaaia no ko olua mau pookela, a me ka leialii o ko olua nani.
“Say to the king and to the female ruler: Humble yourselves, sit down. For the crown of your glory has gone down from your head.
19 E paniia no na kulanakauhale o ke kukulu hema, aohe mea nana e wehe: e lawepioia o ka Iuda a pau, e lawepioia a lilo loa no.
The cities of the south have been closed, and there is no one who may open them. All of Judah has been taken away into complete captivity.
20 E alawa'e i ko oukou mau maka iluna, a e nana i ka poe e hele ana, mai ke kukulu akau mai. Auhea ka poe hipa i haawiia nau, o ka poe hipa hoi o kou nani?
Lift up your eyes and see, you who are arriving from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your famous cattle?
21 Pehea la oe e olelo ai i ka wa e hoopai mai oia ia oe? Aole anei e loohia oe i ka eha e like me ka wahine hanau keiki, no ka mea, ua ao aku no oe ia lakou e noho kapena, a e noho alii maluna ou.
What will you say when he visits upon you? For you have taught them against you, and you have instructed them with your own head. Will not pains take hold of you, as with a woman in labor?
22 A ina olelo oe ma kou naau, No ke aha la i hiki mai ai keia mau mea maluna o'u? No ka nui loa o kou hewa i laweia'ku la na hua lole ou, ua waiho wale ia kou mau kuekue wawae.
But if you say in your heart, ‘Why have these things happened to me?’ it is because of the greatness of your iniquity that your shame has been uncovered and the soles of your feet have been defiled.
23 E hiki anei i ko Aitiopa ke hoano e i kona ili, a me ka leopadi i kona mau kiko? alaila oukou, ka poe maa i ka hana hewa, e hiki ai ke hana maikai.
If the Ethiopian is able to change his skin, or the leopard is able to change his spots, then you also may be able to do well, though you have learned evil.
24 Nolaila, e hoopuehu aku au ia lakou, e like me ka opala i lilo aku la i ka makani o ka waoakua.
And I will scatter them like chaff, which is carried away by the wind in the desert.
25 Oia no kou mea loaa, o ka haawina nou i anaia e au, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, ua hoopoina mai oe ia'u, a ua hilinai hoi i ka mea wahahee.
This is your lot, and this is the portion of your measure from me, says the Lord, because you have forgotten me, and you have had confidence in what is false.
26 Nolaila au e wehe ae ai i ka hua lole ou iluna ma kou maka, i ikeia kou wahi hilahila.
Therefore, I have even bared your thighs before your face, and your shame has been seen.
27 Ua ike no wau i kou moekolohe ana, a me kou hau ana, a me ka hewa o kou hookamakama, a me kau hana hoopailua maluna o na puu ma ke kula. Auwe oe, e Ierusalema! Aole anei oe e hoomaemaeia? Pehea la ka loihi?
For I have seen your adulteries, and your neighing for the wickedness of your fornication, and your abominations upon the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! How much longer before you will be made clean after me?”
