Ieremia 15
1 A LAILA, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ina i ku mai o Mose, a me Samuela imua o'u, aole no e kau ko'u manao ma keia poe kanaka. E kiola ia lakou mai ko'u alo aku, a e puka aku lakou iwaho.
And the Lord said to me: If Moses and Samuel shall stand before me, my soul is not towards this people: cast them out from my sight, and let them go forth.
2 A ina e olelo mai lakou ia oe, Mahea makou e puka aku ai? Alaila, e olelo oe ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, O ka poe no ka make, i ka make no; a o ka poe no ka pahikaua, i ka pahikaua no; a o ka poe no ka wi, i ka wi no; a o ka poe no ka lawepioia, i ka lawepioia no.
And if they shall say unto thee: Whither shall we go forth? thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Such as are for death, to death: and such as are to the sword, to the sword: and such as are for famine, to famine: and such as are to captivity, to captivity.
3 A e hookau aku au maluna o lakou i na mea eha, wahi a Iehova; o ka pahikaua e pepehi; o na ilio e haehae; o na manu o ka lani, a me na holoholona o ka honua, e ai, a e hoopau.
And I will visit them with four kinds, saith the Lord: The sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4 A e haawi no wau e laweia lakou i na aina a pau o ka honua nei, no Manase, ke keiki a Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, no ka mea ana i hana'i ma Ierusalema.
And I will give them up to the rage of all the kingdoms of the earth: because of Manasses the son of Ezechias the king of Juda, for all that he did in Jerusalem.
5 No ka mea, owai ka mea aloha aku ia oe, e Ierusalema? Owai ka mea kumakena ia oe? Owai auanei ka mea e huli ae, e ninau i kou noho ana?
For who shall have pity on thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go to pray for thy peace?
6 Ua haalele mai oe ia'u, wahi a Iehova, ua hoi hope oe. Nolaila, e kikoo ku e aku au i ko'u lima ia oe, a e luku ia oe; no ka mea, ua uluhua wau i ka mihi ana.
Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward: and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will destroy thee: I am weary of entreating thee.
7 E hoolulu aku au ia lakou i ka peahi lulu ma na pukapa o ka aina; e hoonele au ia lakou i na keiki, e luku aku no au i ko'u poe kanaka; aole lakou i huli, mai ko lakou aoao mai.
And I will scatter them with a fan in the gates of the land: I have killed and destroyed my people, and yet they are not returned form their ways.
8 E oi aku ka nui o ko lakou wahinekanemake ia'u i ko ke one o ke kai. I ke awakea, e hoopuka no au maluna o lakou, maluna hoi o ka makuwahine o ka poe ui, i poe luku. E hoopuka no au maluna ona me ka hoohikilele ka makau a me ka weliweli.
Their widows are multiplied unto me above the sand of the sea: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young man a spoiler at noonday: I have cast a terror on a sudden upon the cities.
9 Mae wale aku ka mea i hanau i na mea ehiku, e kaili ana ke ea. Ua napoo kona la i ke ao okoa; ua hilahila oia, ua hoopalaimaka hoi. A e haawi no wau i ke koena o lakou i ka pahikaua imua o ko lakou poe enemi, wahi a Iehova.
She that hath borne seven is become weak, her soul hath fainted away: her sun is gone down, while it was yet day: she is confounded, and ashamed: and the residue of them I will give up to the sword in the sight of their enemies, saith the Lord.
10 Auwe hoi au, e kuu makuwahine, no ka mea, ua hanau mai oe ia'u, he kanaka hakaka, he kanaka paio no ko ka honua a pau! Aole au i hoolimalima kala ma ke kuala, aole hoi i aie kala ma ke kuala; aka, ke hailiili mai nei kela mea keia mea o lakou ia'u.
Woe is me, my mother: why hast thou borne me a man of strife, a man of contention to all the earth? I have not lent on usury, neither hath any man lent to me on usury: yet all curse me.
11 I mai la o Iehova, He oiaio, e pomaikai ana kou poe i koe; oiaio, na'u no e mea aku, a e hana maikai ae ka enemi ia oe i ka manawa poino, a i ka manawa popilikia.
The Lord saith to me: Assuredly it shall be well with thy remnant, assuredly I shall help thee in the time of affliction, and in the time of tribulation against the enemy.
12 Na ka hao anei e uhaki i ka hao o ke kukulu akau, a me ke keleawe?
Shall iron be allied with the iron from the north, and the brass?
13 A e haawi no wau i kou waiwai, a me kou ukana, no ka hoopio me ka uku ole ia mai, a oia hoi no kou hewa a pau, a aia no ia ma kou mau mokuna a pau.
Thy riches and thy treasures I will give unto spoil for nothing, because of all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
14 A na'u no e hoohele ia oe, me kou poe enemi a iloko o ka aina au i ike ole ai; no ka mea, ua hoaia ke ahi i kuu inaina, a e a no ia maluna o oukou.
And I will bring thy enemies out of a land, which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in my rage, it shall burn upon you.
15 E Iehova, ua ike no oe: e hoomanao mai oe ia'u, a e ike mai hoi ia'u, a e hooponopono mai oe ia'u i ka poe hoomaau mai ia'u. Mai lawe aku oe ia'u, i kou ahonui ana. E ike oe, nou no wau i kaikai ai i ka hilahila.
O Lord, thou knowest, remember me, and visit me, and defend me from them that persecute me, do not defend me in thy patience: know that for thy sake I have sufferred reproach.
16 Ua loaa no kau mau olelo, a ai no wau ia mau mea; a lilo kau olelo ia'u i mea olioli, a i mea hoi e hauoli ai ko'u naau: no ka mea, ua kapaia wau ma kou inoa, E Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua.
Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and thy word was to me a joy and gladness of my heart: for thy name is called upon me, O Lord God of hosts.
17 Aole au i noho ma ka aha o ka poe hoowahawaha, aole hoi au i olioli; noho kaawale au, no kou lima; no ka mea, ua hoopiha mai oe ia'u i ka ukiukiia.
I sat not in the assembly of jesters, nor did I make a boast of the presence of thy hand: I sat alone, because thou hast filled me with threats.
18 No ke aha la i mau ai ko'u eha, a ola ole hoi ko'u hahauia, a hoole hoi i ka hoolaia? E lilo anei oe ia'u e like loa me na wai hoopunipuni, mau ole?
Why is my sorrow become perpetual, and my wound desperate so as to refuse to be healed? it is become to me as the falsehood of deceitful waters that cannot be trusted.
19 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Ina hoi mai oe, alaila, e hoihoi mai no wau ia oe, a e ku no oe imua o'u: a ina e lawe aku oe i ka mea pono, mai ka mea hewa aku, alaila, e like auanei no oe me ko'u waha. E hoi mai lakou ia oe, aka, mai hoi aku oe ia lakou.
Therefore thus saith the Lord: If thou wilt be converted, I will convert thee, and thou shalt stand before my face; and if thou wilt separate the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: they shall be turned to thee, and thou shalt not be turned to them.
20 A e hoolilo wau ia oe i pa keleawe paa loa no keia poe kanaka; a e kaua mai no lakou ia oe, aka, aole lakou e lanakila mai maluna ou; no ka mea, owau pu no me oe, e hoola ia oe, a e hoopakele ia oe, wahi a Iehova.
And I will make thee to this people as a strong wall of brass: and they shall fight against thee, and shall not prevail: for I am with thee to save thee, and to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
21 A e hoopakele aku au ia oe, mai ka lima aku o ka poe hewa, a e hoolapanai aku au ia oe, mai loko aku o ka lima o ka poe hooweliweli.
And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the mighty.
