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 said the LORD unto me: 'Go, and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in 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.
So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it upon 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 unto 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 that thou hast gotten, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Perath, and hide it there in a cleft 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.
So I went, and hid it in Perath, as the LORD 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 unto me: 'Arise, go to Perath, and take the girdle from thence, 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.
Then I went to Perath, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
8 Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Then the word of the LORD came unto 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 mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem,
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.
even this evil people, that refuse to hear My words, that walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, that it be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing.
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 cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto Me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD, that they might be unto Me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory; but they would not hearken.
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?
Moreover thou shalt speak unto them this word: Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Every bottle is filled with wine'; and when they shall say unto thee: 'Do we not know that every bottle is 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.
Then shalt thou say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's 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 dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD; I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not 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 glory to the LORD your God, before it grow dark, and before your feet stumble upon the mountains of twilight, and, while ye look for light, He turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross 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 ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and mine eyes shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock 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 thou unto the king and to the queen-mother: 'Sit ye down low; for your headtires are come down, even your beautiful crown.'
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; Judah is carried away captive all of it; it is wholly carried away captive.
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 behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
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 set the friends over thee as head, whom thou thyself hast trained against thee? Shall not pangs take hold of thee, as of a woman in travail?
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 say in thy heart: 'Wherefore are these things befallen me?' — for the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels suffer violence.
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.
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24 Nolaila, e hoopuehu aku au ia lakou, e like me ka opala i lilo aku la i ka makani o ka waoakua.
Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
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, the portion measured unto thee from Me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten Me, and trusted in falsehood.
26 Nolaila au e wehe ae ai i ka hua lole ou iluna ma kou maka, i ikeia kou wahi hilahila.
Therefore will I also uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall appear.
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?
Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy harlotry, on the hills in the field have I seen thy detestable acts. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean! When shall it ever be?
