< Ieremia 14 >

1 KA olelo a Iehova i hiki mai io Ieremia la no ka wi.
AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS CONCERNING THE DROUGHT.
2 Ke kanikau nei o ka Iuda, a kumakena hoi kona mau pukapa; ua eleele hoi a ilalo i ka lepo; ua pii aku la no ka uwe ana o ko Ierusalema.
Judea has mourned, and her gates are emptied, and are darkened upon the earth; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
3 O kolaila poe koikoi, ua hoouna lakou i ka lakou poe uuku e kii i ka wai; ua hele mai hoi lakou i na luawai, aole loaa ia lakou ka wai: hoi aku no lakou, aohe mea iloko o ko lakou hue. Hilahila iho la lakou, a hoopalaimaka, a pulou iho la i ko lakou mau poo.
And her nobles have sent their little ones to the water: they came to the wells, and found no water: and brought back their vessels empty.
4 No ka mea, ua nakaka ka lepo, no ka na ole maluna o ka honua. Ua hilahila ka poe mahiai, ua pulou lakou i ko lakou mau poo.
And the labours of the land failed, because there was no rain: the husbandmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
5 Oia, hanau ae la ka dia ma ke kula, a haalele iho la, no ka mea, aohe mauu.
And hinds calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass.
6 Ku mai la hoi na hoki hihiu ma na wahi kiekie; hau ae la lakou i ka makani e like me na iliohae; pau iho la no hoi ko lakou mau maka no ka mea, aohe mauu.
The wild asses stood by the forests, and snuffed up the wind; their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
7 E Iehova, ke hoike ku e mai nei ko makou hewa ia makou, aka, e hana mai oe no kou inoa iho; no ka mea, ua nui loa ko makou hoi hope ana, ua hana hewa makou ia oe.
Our sins have risen up against us: O Lord, do you for us for your own sake; for our sins are many before you; for we have sinned against you.
8 E ka mea e manaolana'i o ka Iseraela, o kona Hoola i ka manawa o ka popilikia, no ke aha la oe e like ai me ka malihini maloko o ka aina, a e like hoi me ke kanaka hele, i kipa'e e moe i kekahi po?
O Lord, [you are] the hope of Israel, and deliver [us] in time of troubles; why are you become as a sojourner upon the land, or as one born in the land, yet turning aside for a resting-place?
9 No ke aha la oe e like ai me ke kanaka pilihua, e like hoi me ke kanaka koa hiki ole ke hoola? Aka, o oe, e Iehova, eia no oe iwaenakonu o makou, a ua kapaia makou ma kou inoa; mai haalele oe ia makou.
Will you be as a man asleep, or as a [strong] man that can’t save? yet you are amongst us, O Lord, and your name is called upon us; forget us not.
10 Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova i keia poe kanaka, ua makemake no lakou e hele hewa pela, aole lakou i kaohi i ko lakou mau wawae; nolaila, aole i ae mai o Iehova ia lakou; e hoomanao no oia i ko lakou hewa, a e hoopai hoi i ko lakou hala.
Thus says the Lord to this people, They have loved to wander, and they have not spared, therefore God has not prospered them; now will he remember their iniquity.
11 Alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Mai pule aku oe no keia poe kanaka, no ka maikai.
And the Lord said to me, Pray not for this people for [their] good:
12 Ia lakou e hookeai ai, aole au e hoolohe i ko lakou kahea ana; a ia lakou e kaumaha'i i ka mohai kuni, a me ka mohai makana, aole au e ae aku ia lakou; aka, e hoopau no wau ia lakou i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau.
for though they fast, I will not hear their supplication; and though they offer whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, I will take no pleasure in them: for I will consume them with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence.
13 Alaila, i iho la au, Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova e! Aia hoi, ke olelo mai nei na kaula ia lakou, Aole oukou e ike i ka pahikaua, aole hoi e loaa ia oukou ka wi; aka, e haawi aku no au ia oukou i ka malu oiaio ma keia wahi.
And I said, O [ever] living Lord! behold, their prophets prophesy, and say, You shall not see a sword, nor shall famine be amongst you; for I will give truth and peace on the land, and in this place.
14 Alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ke wanana nei na kaula i ka wahahee ma ko'u inoa. Aole au i hoouna aku ia lakou, aole hoi au i kauoha aku la ia lakou, aole hoi au i olelo ia lakou. Ke wanana nei lakou ia oukou i hihio wahahee, a me ka anaana, a me ka mea hope ole, a me ka wahahee o ko lakou naau.
Then the Lord said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spoke not to them: for they prophesy to you false visions, and divinations, and auguries, and devices of their own heart.
15 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, no na kaula, ka poe i wanana ma ko'u inoa, aole hoi au i hoouna aku ia lakou; aka, ke olelo nei lakou, Aole e hiki mai ka pahikaua, aole hoi ka wi iloko o keia aina: E hoopauia ua poe kaula la, i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi.
Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy lies in my name, and I sent them not, who say, Sword and famine shall not be upon this land; they shall die by a grievous death, and the prophets shall be consumed by famine.
16 A o na kanaka a lakou i ao aku ai i ka wanana ana, e kiolaia'ku no lakou iloko o na alanui o Ierusalema, no ka wi, a me ka pahikaua; aohe o lakou mea nana lakou e kanu, o lakou, a me ka lakou wahine, aole hoi ka lakou keikikane, aole ka lakou kaikamahine; no ka mea, e ninini aku au i ko lakou hewa maluna o lakou.
And the people to whom they prophesy, they also shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the sword and famine; and there shall be none to bury them: their wives also, and their sons, and their daughters [shall die thus]; and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.
17 Nolaila, e olelo aku oe i keia olelo ia lakou; E kahe no ko'u mau maka i ka wai, i ka po a me ke ao, aole hoi laua e hooki; no ka mea, ua lukuia i ka luku nui ke kaikamahine puupaa o ko'u poe kanaka, i ka hahau ino loa.
And you shall speak this word to them; Let your eyes shed tears day and night, and let them not cease: for the daughter of my people has been sorely bruised, and her plague is very grievous.
18 Ina e hele aku au i ke kula, alaila, e nana i ka poe i lukuia i ka pahikaua! a ina komo wau iloko o ke kulanakauhale, alaila, e nana aku i ka poe i mai no ka wi! Oia, kaahele aku no ke kaula, a me ke kahuna iloko o ka aina a lakou i ike ole ai.
If I go forth into the plain, then behold the slain by the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold the distress of famine! for priest and prophet have gone to a land which they knew not.
19 Ua hoole loa anei oe i ka Iuda? Ua hoopailua anei kou uhane ia Ziona? No ke aha la oe i pepehi mai ai ia makou, aole hoi he hoola no makou? Kakali makou i ka malu, aole hoi he pono: a i ka hoola hoi, aia hoi, he popilikia!
Hast you utterly rejected Juda? and has your soul departed from Sion? therefore has you struck us, and there is no healing for us? we waited for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, and behold trouble!
20 E Iehova, ua ike no makou i ko makou hewa, a me ka hala o ko makou poe makua; no ka mea, ua hana hewa aku makou ia oe.
We know, O Lord, our sins, [and] the iniquities of our fathers: for we have sinned before you.
21 Mai hoowahawaha mai oe, no kou inoa iho, mai hoino oe i ka nohoalii o kou nani. E hoomanao, mai uhai oe i kou berita me makou.
Refrain for your name's sake, destroy not the throne of your glory: remember, break not your covenant with us.
22 Aia anei iwaena o na mea lapuwale o na aina e kekahi mea hooua mai i ka ua? E hiki anei i na lani ke haawi mai i ka ua? Aole anei o oe ia, e Iehova, ko makou Akua? Nolaila makou e hilinai aku ai ia oe; no ka mea, ua hana oe i keia mau mea a pau.
Is there any one amongst the idols of the Gentiles that can give rain? and will the sky yield his fulness [at their bidding]? Are not you he? we will even wait on you, O Lord: for you have made all these things.
