Ieremia 19

1 KE olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, O hele e kii aku i hue lepo o ka potera, a i poe kahiko o na kanaka, a i poe kahiko o na kahuna;

This is what the Lord has said: Go and get for money a potter's bottle made of earth, and take with you some of the responsible men of the people and of the priests;

2 A e hele aku i ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, aia no ia ma kahi e komo ai i ka puka hikina: a e kala aku oe malaila, i na olelo a'u e hai aku ai ia oe;

And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, by the way into the door of broken pots, and there say in a loud voice the words which I will give you;

3 E i aku, E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e na'lii o ka Iuda, a me ka poe e noho ana ma Ierusalema. Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela: Aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau i ka hewa maluna o keia wahi; e kani no na pepeiao o na mea a pau e lohe ia mea.

Say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem; the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send evil on this place which will be bitter to the ears of anyone hearing of it.

4 No ka mea, ua haalele lakou ia'u, a ua hoowahawaha i keia wahi, a ua kuni i ka mea aia malaila, no na akua e, i na mea ike ole ia e lakou, a me ko lakou mau makua, a me na'lii o ka Iuda, a ua hoopiha lakou i keia wahi, i ke koko o ka poe hewa ole.

Because they have given me up, and made this place a strange place, burning perfumes in it to other gods, of whom they and their fathers and the kings of Judah had no knowledge; and they have made this place full of the blood of those who have done no wrong;

5 Ua hana hoi lakou i na wahi kiekie o Baala, e puhi i ka lakou keikikane i ke ahi, i mohai kuni no Baala, ka mea a'u i kauoha ole ai, aole hoi i olelo, aole hoi i komo ia iloko o ko'u naau.

And they have put up the high places of the Baal, burning their sons in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me, and it was never in my mind:

6 Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, e kapa hou ole ia'i keia wahi o Topeta, aole hoi ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, aka, o ke awawa o ka pepehi.

For this cause, see, a time is coming, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death.

7 A e hooki aku au ma keia wahi i ka manao akamai o ka Iuda, a me Ierusalema; a na'u no lakou e hoohina i ka pahikaua, imua o ko lakou poe enemi, a i ka lima hoi oka poe i imi i ko lakou ola. A e haawi no wau i ko lakou kupapau i mea ai, na na manu o ka lani, a na na holoholona o ka honua.

I will make the purpose of Judah and Jerusalem come to nothing in this place; I will have them put to the sword by their haters, and by the hands of those who have designs on their life; and their dead bodies I will give to be food for the birds of heaven and the beasts of the earth.

8 A e hoolilo wau i keia kulanakauhale i neoneo, a i mea hoowahawaha; o na mea a pau e hele ae, e kahaha no lakou, a e hoowahawaha mai no kona wawahiia a pau.

And I will make this town a thing of wonder and a cause of surprise; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder and make sounds of surprise, because of all its troubles.

9 A na'u no e hanai aku ia lakou i ka io o ka lakou mau keikikane, a me ka io o ka lakou mau kaikamahine, a e ai no kela mea keia mea i ka io o kona hoalauna maloko o ka ikiiki, a me ka pilikia o ko lakou poe enemi, a me ka poe i imi i ko lakou ola, e hoopilikia mai ai ia lakou.

I will make them take the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters for food, they will be making a meal of one another, because of their bitter need and the cruel grip of their haters and those who have made designs against their life.

10 Alaila, e wawahi oe i ka hue imua o na maka o na kanaka i hele pu me oe;

Then let the potter's bottle be broken before the eyes of the men who have gone with you,

11 A e i aku oe ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, Pela no wau e wawahi ai i keia poe kanaka, a me keia kulanakauhale, e like me ka wawahiia o ka ipu a ka potera, ka mea hiki ole ke kapili hou ia; a e kanu no hoi lakou ma Topeta, a e kaanwale ole kahi e kanu ai.

And say to them, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Even so will this people and this town be broken by me, as a potter's bottle is broken and may not be put together again: and the bodies of the dead will be put in the earth in Topheth, till there is no more room.

12 Pela no wau e hana'i i keia wahi, wahi a Iehova, a i kona poe e noho ana, a e hoohalike i keia kulanakauhale me Topeta.

This is what I will do to this place, says the Lord, and to its people, making this town like Topheth:

13 A o na hale o Ierusalema, a me na hale o na'lii o ka Iuda, e haumia auanei lakou, e like me kahi o Topeta, no ka mea, maluna o na hale a pau, ua puhi lakou i ka mea ala, no na hoku a pau o ka lani, a ua ninini aku i na mohaiinu no na akua e.

And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which they have made unclean, will be like the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs perfumes have been burned to all the army of heaven, and drink offerings drained out to other gods.

14 Alaila, hele mai la o Ieremia, mai Topeta mai, kahi a Iehova i hoouna aku ai ia ia e wanana; a ku mai la oia ma ke kahua o ka hale o Iehova, a i mai la i na kanaka a pau,

Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to give the prophet's word; and he took his place in the open square of the Lord's house, and said to all the people,

15 Ke i mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, Aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau maluna o keia kulanakauhale, a maluna o kona mau kauhale a pau, i ka hewa a pau a'u i hai aku ai nona; no ka mea, ua hoopaakiki lakou i ko lakou a-i, i mea e hoolohe ole ai lakou i ka'u mau olelo.

The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send on this town and on all her towns all the evil which I have said; because they made their necks stiff, so that they might not give ear to my words.
