Ieremia 17
1 U A palapalaia ka hewa o ka Iuda, me ka peni hao, me kahi oi hoi o ka daimana; ua kahakahaia hoi ma ka papa o ko lakou naau, a ma na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu;
The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond is it engraved Upon the tablet of their hearts, Upon the horns of their altars.
2 I ka hoomanao ana o ka lakou keiki i ko lakou kuahu, a me ko lakou ululaau ma na laau uliuli maluna o na puu kiekie.
While their children remember the altars, and the images of Astarte, Near the green trees, And upon the high hills.
3 E kuu mauna ma ke kula, e haawi no wau i kou waiwai, a me kou ukana a pau i pio, a me kou mau wahi kiekie i hewa, ma kou mau mokuna a pau.
My mountain in the field! thy substance and all thy treasures will I give up for spoil; Thy high places for sin in all thy borders.
4 A o oe, e hele aku no oe, mai kou hooilina aku, ka mea a'u i haawi aku ai ia oe; a e hoolilo aku au ia oe i kauwa na kou poe enemi ma ka aina au i ike ole ai: no ka mea, ua hoa oukou i ke ahi ma kuu ukiuki, a e a mau loa aku no ia.
Thou shalt of thyself cease to possess the inheritance which I gave thee, And I will cause thee to serve thy enemies in a land which thou knowest not; For ye have kindled a fire in my anger, Which shall burn forever.
5 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E poino ana ke kanaka i hilinai i ke kanaka, a manao iho la i ka io i ikaika nona, a haalele kona naau ia Iehova.
Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed be the man who trusteth in man, And maketh flesh his arm, And whose heart departeth from Jehovah!
6 E like auanei ia me kahi i haaleleia maloko o ka waonahele, aole ia e ike i ka wa e hiki mai ai ka maikai; aka, e noho no oia ma na wahi maloo ma ka waonahele, ma ka aina hua ole, a noho ole ia.
He shall be like a poor wanderer in the desert, Who seeth not when good cometh, But dwelleth in the parched places of the desert, In a salt land, and uninhabited.
7 Pomaikai ke kanaka i hilinai aku ia Iehova, a o Iehova hoi kona mea e manaolana'i.
Blessed is the man who trusteth in Jehovah; Who in Jehovah placeth his hope!
8 E like auanei ia me ka laau i kanuia ma na wai, a kupu ae la kona mau aa ma kahi mau; aole hoi ia e ike i ka hiki ana mai o ka wela; aka, e uliuli no kona lau; a i ka makahiki wi, aole ia e makau, aole hoi e hooki oia i ka hoohua ana mai i ka hua.
He shall be like a tree planted by the water-side, That spreadeth out her roots by the stream, That feeleth not when the heat cometh, But whose leaf is green; That careth not in the year of drought, Nor ceaseth from yielding fruit.
9 He hoopunipuni ka naau mamua o na mea a pau, a ua hewa loa hoi ia; owai ka mea hiki ke hoomaopopo?
The heart is deceitful above all things; Yea, it is corrupt; who can know it?
10 Owau, o Iehova, ke huli nei au i ka naau, ke hoao nei au i ka opu, e haawi i kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kona mau aoao, e like hoi me ka hua o kana mau hana.
I, Jehovah, search the heart, And try the reins, To give to every man according to his ways, And according to the fruit of his doings.
11 E like me ka manu aihue i hoopunana i na hua ana i hanau ole ai; pela no ka mea i loaa ka waiwai ma ka pono ole, iwaenakonu o kona mau la, e waiho oia ia mea, a i kona hope, e lapuwale oia.
As the partridge sitteth on eggs which she hath not laid, So is he that getteth riches, and not by right; In the midst of his days shall he leave them, And in his latter end find himself a fool.
12 He nohoalii nani kiekie loa, mai kinohi mai, oia kahi o ko makou keenakapu.
A glorious, lofty throne from the beginning Hath been the place of our sanctuary.
13 E Iehova, ka mea e manaolana'i o ka Iseraela, o ka poe a pau e haalele ia oe, e hilahila auanei lakou, a o ka poe e haalele ia'u, e kahakahaia lakou ma ka honua, no ka mea, ua haalele lakou ia Iehova, i ke kumu o na wai ola.
O thou hope of Israel, Jehovah! All that forsake thee shall be put to shame; Yea, all that depart from me shall be written in dust, Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, they have forsaken Jehovah.
14 E hoola mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, a e hoolaia mai no wau; e hoopakele mai oe ia'u a e hoopakeleia mai no wau; no ka mea, o oe no ka'u e kaena ai.
Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved; For thou art my praise!
15 Aia hoi, ke olelo mai nei lakou ia'u, Auhea ka olelo a Iehova? E hele mai ia, ano.
Behold, they say to me, “Where is the word of Jehovah? Let it come to pass!”
16 Aole au i hoolalelale ia'u iho mai ka noho kahuhipa ana, e hahai mamuli ou, aole hoi au i makemake ia la kaumaha, ua ike no oe. O ka mea i puka aku iwaho o ko'u mau lehelehe, ua pololei no ia imua ou.
I have not refused to follow thee, as thy shepherd, Neither have I desired the day of woe, as thou knowest! That which came from my lips hath been before thine eyes.
17 Mai lilo oe i mea makau no'u; o oe no ko'u mea e manaolana'i, i ka la o ka hewa.
Be not thou a terror to me, Thou, my refuge in the day of distress! Let my persecutors be confounded, but let not me be confounded!
18 E hoohilahilaia ka poe hoomaau mai ia'u, mai hookuu ia'u i ka hoohilahilaia. E hoopilihua ia lakou, mai hookuu ia'u i ka hoopilihuaia. E lawe mai oe maluna o lakou i ka la o ka hewa, a e luku hoi oe ia lakou i ka luku papalua.
Let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed! Bring upon them the day of calamity, And destroy them with double destruction!
19 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ia'u penei, O hele, e ku ma ka pukapa o na keiki a ko'u poe kanaka, kahi e komo mai ai na'lii o ka Iuda, ma kahi hoi e puka aku ai lakou iwaho, a ma na pukapa a pau hoi o Ierusalema;
Thus said Jehovah to me: Go and stand in the people's gate, Through which the kings of Judah come in and go out, And in all the gates of Jerusalem,
20 A e i aku ia lakou, E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e na'lii o ka Iuda, a me ka Iuda a pau, a me ka poe a pau e noho ana ma Ierusalema, ka poe komo iloko, ma keia mau pukapa.
And say to them, Hear the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, All Judah, and all ye who dwell at Jerusalem, Who enter in through these gates!
21 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E malama oukou i ko oukou kino iho; mai halihali oukou i ka mea halihali i ka la Sabati, aole hoi e lawe mai iloko, ma na pukapa o Ierusalema.
Thus saith Jehovah: Take heed to yourselves, And carry no burden on the sabbath-day, And bring none through the gates of Jerusalem.
22 Mai lawe aku hoi i ka haawe mawaho aku o ko oukou mau hale i ka la Sabati; mai hana hoi i kekahi hana; aka, e hoano oukou i ka la Sabati, me au i kauoha aku ai i ko oukou poe kupuna.
Bear no burden from your houses on the sabbath-day, And do no kind of work; But keep ye holy the sabbath-day, As I commanded your fathers.
23 Aole lakou i hoolohe, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko lakou mau pepeiao, aka, hooolea lakou i ko lakou a-i i mea e lohe ole ai lakou, i mea hoi, e loaa ole ai ia lakou ka naauao.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, But made their necks stiff, and refused to hear, And refused to receive instruction.
24 A ina e hoolohe pono mai oukou ia'u, wahi a Iehova, a lawe ole i ka mea lawe maloko o na pukapa o ke kulanakauhale i ka la Sabati: aka, hoano oukou i ka la Sabati, a hana ole i kekahi hana ia la;
If ye will now diligently hearken to me, saith Jehovah, And bring no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath-day, But keep holy the sabbath-day, Doing no work therein,
25 Alaila, e komo mai no iloko o na pukapa o keia kulanakauhale, na'lii, a me na luna, e noho ana ma ka nohoalii o Davida, e holo ana hoi maloko o na halekaa, a maluna o na lio, o lakou, a me ko lakou luna, o na kanaka o ka Iuda, a me ka poe noho ma Ierusalema; a e hoomau loa ia aku no keia kulanakauhale.
Then shall enter the gates of this city kings and princes, Who sit upon the throne of David, Riding in chariots and on horses, They and their chieftains, The men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; And this city shall be inhabited forever.
26 A e hele mai no lakou, mai na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda mai, a no na wahi mawaho o Ierusalema a puni, a mai ka aina o Beniamina mai, a mai na papu mai, a mai na mauna mai, a mai ke kukuluhema mai, e lawe ana i na mohnikuni, a me na alana, a me na mohai makana, a me ka mea ala, e lawe ana hoi i na mea aloha, a i ka hale o Iehova.
Then from the cities of Judah, and the places around Jerusalem, From the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, From the mountains, and from the South, Shall they come bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, And flour-offerings, and incense, And bringing thank-offerings to the house of Jehovah.
27 Aka, ina aole oukou e hoolohe mai ia'u, e hoano i ka la Sabati, a e lawe ole hoi i ka mea lawe, e komo ana hoi iloko ma na pukapa o Ierusalema i ka la Sabati; alaila, e hoa no wau i ke ahi ma kona mau pukapa, a e hoopau no ia i na hale alii o Ierusalema, aole hoi ia e kinaiia.
But if ye will not hearken to me, To keep holy the sabbath-day, And to carry no burden through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath-day, Then will I kindle in her gates an unquenchable fire, Which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
