< Ieremia 16 >

1 HIKI mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
THE word of the Lord came also unto me, saying,
2 Mai lawe oe i wahine nau, aole hoi e loaa ia oe na keikikane, a me na kaikamahine ma keia wahi.
Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou 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 thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat 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 shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the 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.
For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, even lovingkindness and mercies.
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 the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald 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.
Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
8 Mai komo aku hoi oe iloko o ka hale ahaaina, e noho pu me lakou, e ai, a e inu.
Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to 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 thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
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?
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our 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 shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the Lord, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
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 ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto 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.
Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.
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:
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel 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.
But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
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.
Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes 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 mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine 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 first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
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, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
20 E hana anei ke kanaka i na akua nona, aole hoi lakou na akua?
Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no 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 this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The Lord.
