< 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 saith the Lord to me: Go, and get thee a linen girdle, and thou shalt put it about thy loins, and shalt 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 I got a girdle accoding to the word of the Lord, and put it about 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 the 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 girdle which thou hast got, which is about thy loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole 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 I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord had commanded 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 came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me: Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from thence the girdle, which I commanded thee 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 I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle out of the place where I had hid it: and behold the girdle was rotten, so that it was fit for no 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 saith the Lord: after this manner will I make the pride of Juda, and the great pride 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 wicked people, that will not hear my words, and that walk in the perverseness of their heart, and have gone after strange gods to serve them, and to adore them: and they shall be as this girdle which is fit for no 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 as the girdle sticketh close to the loins of a man, so have I brought close to me all of the house of Israel, and all the house of Juda, saith the Lord: that they might be my people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
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?
Thou shalt speak therefore to them this word: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Every bottle shall be filled with wine, and they shall say to thee: Do we not know that every bottle shall 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 thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings of the race of David that sit upon his throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. with drunkenness.
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 every man from his brother, and fathers and sons in like manner, saith the Lord: I will not spare, and I will not pardon: nor will I have mercy, but 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 ye, and give ear: Be not proud, for the Lord hath 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 ye glory to the Lord your God, before it be dark, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains: you shall look for light, and he will turn it into the shadow of death, and into 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 hear this, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride: weeping it shall weep, and my eyes shall run down the tears, because the flock of the Lord is carried away 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 queen: Humble yourselves, sit down: for the crown of your glory is come 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 are shut up, and there is none to open them: all Juda is carried away captive with an entire 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 that come from the north: where is the flock that is given thee, thy beautiful 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 wilt thou say when he shall visit thee? for thou hast taught them against thee, and instructed them against thy own head: shall not sorrows lay hold on thee, as a woman in labour?
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.
And if thou shalt say in thy heart: Why are these things come upon me? For the greatness of thy iniquity, thy nakedness is discovered, the soles of thy feet are 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 can change his skin, or the leopard his spots: you may also do well, when 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 as stubble, 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 thy lot, and the portion of thy measure from me, saith the Lord, because thou hast forgotten me, and hast trusted in falsehood.
26 Nolaila au e wehe ae ai i ka hua lole ou iluna ma kou maka, i ikeia kou wahi hilahila.
Wherefore I have also bared my thighs against thy face, and thy shame hath appeared.
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?
I have seen thy adulteries, and thy neighing, the wickedness of thy fornication: and thy abominations, upon the hills in the field. Woe to thee, Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean after me: how long yet?
