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 unto me, If Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my favor would [still] not be toward this people: send them away out of my sight, that they may 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 it shall come to pass, if they should say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth, that thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, Such as are destined to death, to death; and such as are destined to the sword, to the sword; and such as are destined to famine, to famine; and such as are destined 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 appoint over them four species, saith the Lord: The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag away, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to 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 cause them to become a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth, on account of Menasseh the son of Hezekiah the king of Judah, because of what 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 will have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who will condole with thee? or who will go aside to ask after thy welfare?
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 indeed forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward; therefore do I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee: I am weary with repenting.
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 winnow them with a fan in the gates of the land: I make childless, I annihilate my people, [since] from their ways they have not turned away.
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 more numerous before me than the sand of the seas: I bring unto them, over the mothers of the young men, a waster at noonday; I cause to fall upon her suddenly the enemy with [his] terrors.
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 had born seven children fadeth away; she breatheth out her soul, her sun is set while it is yet day; she is made ashamed and put to the blush: —and their residue will I give up to the sword before 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, that thou hast born me, a man of contention and a man of strife to the whole land! I have not lent, nor have men lent to me: [yet] every one of them curseth 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 said, Truly I will release thee for [thy] good; truly I will cause the enemy to meet thee in the time of distress and in the time of affliction.
12 Na ka hao anei e uhaki i ka hao o ke kukulu akau, a me ke keleawe?
Can iron break in pieces the northern iron and copper?
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 wealth and thy treasures will I give up as spoil without price, and this for 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 cause them to pass over with thy enemies into a land which thou knowest not; for a fire is kindled in my anger, over you shall it burn.
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.
Thou well knowest it, O Lord! remember me and think of me, and avenge me on my persecutors; not according to thy long-suffering act thou for me: know, that for thy sake I have borne shame.
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.
When thy words were made manifest to me, then I greedily received them; and thy word became unto me the gladness and joy of my heart; for thy name is called upon me, O Lord 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 the mirthful, and was rejoiced; because of thy inspiration I sat solitary; for thou hadst filled me with indignation.
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 pain perpetual, and my wound incurable? it refuseth to be healed; it is truly become unto me as a deceptive spring, as waters that are not reliable.
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 hath said the Lord, If thou return, and I bring thee back again, then shalt thou stand before me; and if thou bring forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: these shall return unto thee; but thou shalt not return unto 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 unto this people as a fortified brazen wall; and they will fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; 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 grasp of the tyrants.
