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;
Thus said YHWH: “Go, and you have acquired a potter’s earthen vessel, and from [the] elderly of the people, and from [the] elderly 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 you have gone forth to the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, that [is] at the opening of the gate of the pottery, and have proclaimed there the words that I speak to 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.
and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, you kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem!” Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am bringing in evil on this place, at which the ears of everyone who is hearing it tingles,
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 that they have forsaken Me, and make known this place, and make incense in it to other gods, that they did not know, they and their fathers, and the kings of Judah, and they have filled this place [with] innocent blood,
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 have built the high places of Ba‘al to burn their sons with fire, burnt-offerings to Ba‘al, that I did not command, nor spoke of, nor did it come up on My heart.
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.
Therefore, behold, days are coming,” a declaration of YHWH, “and this place is no longer called The Tophet and Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but Valley of the Slaughter.
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.
And I have made void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and have caused them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those seeking their life, and I have given their carcass for food to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast 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 have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, everyone passing by it is astonished, and hisses for all its plagues.
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.
And I have caused them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and they each eat the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the constriction with which their enemies constrict them, and those seeking their life.”
10 Alaila, e wawahi oe i ka hue imua o na maka o na kanaka i hele pu me oe;
“And you have broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going 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 have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Thus I break this people and this city, as one breaks the potter’s vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in Tophet they bury—without place to bury;
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.
so I do to this place—a declaration of YHWH—and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;
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, have been as the place of Tophet—defiled, even all the houses on whose roofs they have made incense to all the host of the heavens, so as to pour out oblations 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,
And Jeremiah comes in from Tophet, to where YHWH had sent him to prophesy, and he stands in the court of the house of YHWH, and he says 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.
“Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing to this city, and on all its cities, all the calamity that I have spoken against it, for they have hardened their neck to not hear My words!”
