Ieremia 16
1 HIKI mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Mai lawe oe i wahine nau, aole hoi e loaa ia oe na keikikane, a me na kaikamahine ma keia wahi.
“You must not marry or have sons or daughters in this place.”
3 No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, no na keikikane, a no na kaikamahine i hanauia ma keia wahi, a no na makuwahine nana lakou i hanau, a no na makuakane nana lakou i ko ai ma keia aina.
For this is what the LORD says concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and the mothers who bore them, and the fathers who fathered them in this land:
4 E make mainoino lakou, aole lakou e kauikauia, aole hoi lakou e kanuia; aka, e lilo lakou i lepo maluna o ka aina; a e hoopauia no lakou i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi; a e lilo ko lakou kupapau i mea ai na na manu o ka lani, a na na holoholona o ka honua.
“They will die from deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried, but will lie like dung on the ground. They will be finished off by sword and famine, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and beasts of the earth.”
5 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Mai komo maloko o ka hale kumakena, mai hele hoi e kanikau, a e uwe ia lakou; no ka mea, ua lawe aku au i ko'u malu, mai keia poe kanaka aku, wahi a Iehova, i ko'u aloha hoi, a me ko'u lokomaikai.
Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal. Do not go to mourn or show sympathy, for I have removed from this people My peace, My loving devotion, and My compassion,” declares the LORD.
6 E make no ka poe nui, a me ka poe uuku ma keia aina; aole lakou e kanuia, aole e kumakena na kanaka no lakou, aole e okioki ia lakou iho, aole hoi e koli i ke oho no lakou.
“Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, nor will anyone cut himself or shave his head for them.
7 Aole e puunaue na kanaka i ka ai na lakou no ke kumakena, i mea e hoomaha ai ia lakou no ka make; aole hoi e hoohainu aku na kanaka ia lakou i ke kiaha o ka hooluolu no kona makuakane, a no kona makuwahine.
No food will be offered to comfort those who mourn the dead; not even a cup of consolation will be given for the loss of a father or mother.
8 Mai komo aku hoi oe iloko o ka hale ahaaina, e noho pu me lakou, e ai, a e inu.
You must not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down with them to eat and drink.
9 No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua, o ka Iseraela; Aia hoi, imua o ko oukou mau maka, a i ko oukou mau la hoi, e hooki aku au mai keia wahi aku, i ka leo o ka olioli, a i ka leo o ka hauoli, i ka leo o ke kaue mare, a i ka leo o ka wahine mare.
For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to remove from this place, before your very eyes and in your days, the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom.
10 A hiki i ka manawa e hoike aku ai oe i keia poe kanaka i keia mau olelo a pau, a olelo mai lakou ia oe, No keaha la i kau oh a mai ai o Iehova i keia hewa nui maluna o makou? Heaha hoi ko makou hala; a heaha ka hewa a makou i hana aku ai ia Iehova, i ko makou Akua?
When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? What is our guilt? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
11 Alaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou, No ka mea, ua haalele ko oukou poe makua ia'u, wahi a Iehova, a ua hele lakou mnmuli o na akua e, a ua malama ia lakou, a ua hoomana ia lakou, a ua haalele mai ia'u, aole hoi i malama i ko'u kanawai:
Then you are to answer them: ‘It is because your fathers have forsaken Me, declares the LORD, and followed other gods, and served and worshiped them. They abandoned Me and did not keep My instruction.
12 A ua oi aku ka oukou hana ino ana mamua o ka ko oukou poe makua; no ka mea, aia hoi, ke hele nei kela mea keia mea o oukou mamuli o ka paakiki o kona naau hewa, i hoolohe ole mai ai lakou ia'u.
And you have done more evil than your fathers. See how each of you follows the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying Me.
13 Nolaila, e kipaku aku au ia oukou mai keia aina aku, a i ka aina a oukou i ike ole ai, aole oukou, aole hoi ko oukou poe makua; a malaila oukou e malama'i i na akua e, i ke ao a me ka po, ma kahi e haawi ole aku ai au ia oukou i ke alohaia.
So I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
14 Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, aole e olelo hou ia mai, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai i na mamo a Iseraela, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai:
Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’
15 Aka, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai i na mamo a Iseraela, mai ka aina o ke kukulu akau mai, a mai na aina a pau mai, kahi ana i kipaku aku ai ia lakou. A e lawe hou no wau ia lakou iloko o ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai i ko lakou poe kupuna.
Instead they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.’ For I will return them to their land that I gave to their forefathers.
16 Aia hoi, e kii aku no wau i na lawaia he nui, wahi a Iehova, a e loaa ia lakou na Iudaio ma ka lawaia ana; a mahope iho, e kii aku no wau i na mea imi a nui, a na lakou no e imi i na Iudaio, mai na mauna mai a pau, a mai na puu mai a pau, a mai na lua o na pohaku mai.
But for now I will send for many fishermen, declares the LORD, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from the clefts of the rocks.
17 No ka mea, e kau no ko'u mau maka ma ko lakou aoao a pau; aole lakou e hoonaloia i ko'u maka, aole hoi e hoonaloia ko lakou hewa, mai ko'u mau maka aku.
For My eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from My face, and their guilt is not concealed from My eyes.
18 A mamua, e hoopai papalua wau i ko lakou hewa, a me ko lakou hala; no ka mea, ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u aina, a ua hoopiha i ko'u hooilina i na kii o ko lakou mea haumia, e hoopailua ai.
And I will first repay them double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and they have filled My inheritance with their abominations.”
19 E Iehova, ko'u ikaika, ko'u pakaua hoi, a me ko'u puuhonua i ka la o ka popilikia, e hele mai no ko na aina e i ou la, mai na kukulu o ka honua mai, a e olelo mai, He oiaio, ua ili mai no ka hoopunipuni i ko makou poe makua, a me ka lapuwale, a me na mea waiwai ole.
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress, the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Our fathers inherited nothing but lies, worthless idols of no benefit at all.
20 E hana anei ke kanaka i na akua nona, aole hoi lakou na akua?
Can man make gods for himself? Such are not gods!”
21 Nolaila, aia hoi, i keia manawa, e hoike maopopo loa aku au i ko'u lima ia lakou, a me ko'u mana; a e ike auanei lakou, o Iehova no ko'u inoa.
“Therefore behold, I will inform them, and this time I will make them know My power and My might; then they will know that My name is the LORD.
