Ieremia 2
1 A HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Moreover, the woorde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
2 O hele, e kala ma na pepeiao o ko Ierusalema, e i aku, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei, Ua hoomanao aku au ia oe, i ka lokomaikai o kou wa opiopio, i ke aloha o kou wa i mare hou ia'i, i kou hahai ana mamuli o'u maloko o ka waonahele, ma ka aina i lulu ole ia.
Goe, and crie in the eares of Ierusalem, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, I remember thee, with the kindenes of thy youth and the loue of thy marriage, when thou wentest after me in the wildernes in a lande that was not sowen.
3 Ua laa no ka Iseraela no Iehova, a me na hua mua o kona mea ulu. O na mea a pau i hoopau ia ia, ua hewa no lakou; e hiki mai no ka hewa maluna o lakou, wahi a Iehova.
Israel was as a thing halowed vnto the Lord, and his first fruits: all they that eat it, shall offend: euil shall come vpon them, saith the Lord.
4 E hoolohe mai oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e ko ka hale o Iakoba, a me na ohana a pau o ka hale o ka Iseraela.
Heare ye the word of the Lord, O house of Iaakob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
5 Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Heaha ka hewa i loaa i ko oukou mau makua iloko o'u, i hele loihi aku ai lakou mai o'u aku nei, a ua hele hoi mamuli o ka lapuwale, a ua lilo lakou i mea lapuwale?
Thus sayeth the Lord, What iniquitie haue your fathers founde in mee, that they are gone farre from mee, and haue walked after vanitie, and are become vaine?
6 Aole hoi lakou i ninau iho, Auhea o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai ia kakou, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a alakai hoi ia kakou maoko o ka waonahele, maloko hoi o ka aina i paapu i na auakua, a me na lua, mawaena hoi o ka aina maloo, a me ke aka o ka make, mawaena o ka aina i hele ole ia e kanaka, a noho ole ia hoi e ke kanaka?
For they saide not, Where is the Lord that brought vs vp out of the lande of Egypt? that led vs through the wildernesse, through a desert, and waste land, through a drie land, and by the shadow of death, by a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
7 A lawe mai au ia oukou maloko o ka aina ai nui i ai oukou i kolaila hua, a me kolaila maikai. Aka, i ko oukou komo ana, hoohaumia oukou i ko'u aina, a hoolilo hoi i ko'u hooilina i mea e hoopailua ai.
And I brought you into a plentifull countrey, to eat the fruit thereof, and the commodities of the same: but when yee entred, yee defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
8 Aole i olelo na kahuna, Auhea o Iehova? A o ka poe hoi i lawelawe ma ke kanawai, aole lakou i ike mai ia'u. A hana hewa mai no hoi ia'u ka poe kahu, a ao mai no hoi na kaula ma Baala, a hahai no hoi lakou mamuli o na mea kokua ole.
The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that should minister the Lawe, knewe me not: the pastours also offended against me, and the Prophets prophesied in Baal, and went after things that did not profite.
9 Nolaila, e paio aku au ia oukou, wahi a Iehova, a e paio aku no hoi au i na keiki a ka oukou keiki.
Wherefore I wil yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and I will pleade with your childrens children.
10 E hele ae hoi ma na aina o Kitima, a e nana; a e hoouna aku hoi i Kedara, a e noonoo pono, a ike, ina paha he mea like me ia.
For goe ye to the yles of Chittim, and beholde, and sende vnto Kedar. and take diligent heede, and see whether there be such things.
11 Ua hoololi ae nei anei he lahuikanaka i na'kua, i na mea akua ole? Aka, ua hoololi ae nei no ko'u poe kanaka i ko lakou nani i mea kokua ole.
Hath any nation changed their gods, which yet are no gods? but my people haue chaged their glorie, for that which doeth not profite.
12 E kahaha mai, e na lani i keia, a e weliweli loa hoi, e lilo oukou i neoneo loa hoi, wahi a Iehova.
O yee heauens, be astonied at this: bee afraid and vtterly confounded, sayeth the Lord.
13 No ka mea, ua hana ko'u poe kanaka i na hewa elua; ua haalele mai lakou ia'u, i ke kumu wai ola, a ua eli lakou i na luawai, i na luawai nahaha, aole e paa ka wai maloko.
For my people haue committed two euils: they haue forsaken mee the fountaine of liuing waters, to digge them pittes, euen broken pittes, that can holde no water.
14 He mea hooluhiia anei o Iseraela? he kauwa i hanau ohua ia? No ke aha la ia i lilo ai i ka haoia?
Is Israel a seruaunt, or is hee borne in the house? why then is he spoiled?
15 Uwo mai la na liona hou ia ia, a hoonui aku hoi i ko lakou leo, a hooneoneo iho la i kona aina. Ua pau i ka wela kona mau kulanakauhale, aohe mea e noho ana.
The lions roared vpon him and yelled, and they haue made his land waste: his cities are burnt without an inhabitant.
16 Ua hoopau no hoi na keiki o Nopa, a me Tahapanesa i kou piko poo.
Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes haue broken thine head.
17 Aole anei nau iho i hana i keia maluna ou, i kou haalele ana ia Iehova, i kou Akua, ia ia i alakai aku ai ia oe ma ke ala?
Hast not thou procured this vnto thy selfe, because thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way?
18 Heaha hoi kau ma ka aoao o Aigupita, e inu ai i na wai o Sihora? Heaha hoi kau ma ka aoao o Asuria, e inu ai i na wai o ka muliwai?
And what hast thou now to do in the way of Egypt? to drinke the water of Nilus? or what makest thou in the way of Asshur? to drinke the water of the Riuer?
19 Na kou hewa iho no e paipai ia oe, a na kou mau lawehala e ao mai ia oe. E ike hoi oe, a e hoomaopopo, he mea ino, a he mea walania hoi kou haalele ana ia Iehova, i kou Akua, a me ka noho ole ana o ka makau ia'u iloko ou, wahi a Iehova, ka Haku o na kaua.
Thine owne wickednes shall correct thee, and thy turnings backe shall reprooue thee: know therefore and beholde, that it is an euil thing, and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my feare is not in thee, sayeth the Lord God of hostes.
20 No ka mea, mai kahiko loa mai, ua uhaki au i kou auamo, a ua moku hoi ia'u kou mau kaula i paa ai; a olelo iho la oe, Aole au e noho i kauwa, oiai, ua kulou oe maluna o na puu kiekie a pau, a malalo hoi o na laau uliuli a pau, a ua moe kolohe hoi oe.
For of olde time I haue broken thy yoke, and burst thy bondes, and thou saidest, I will no more transgresse, but like an harlot thou runnest about vpon al hie hilles, and vnder all greene trees.
21 Aka, ua kanu no wau ia oe i kumu waina maikai, he hua pono wale no. Pehea la hoi oe i hoololiia'i i lala o ke kumu waina e ia'u?
Yet I had planted thee, a noble vine, whose plants were all natural: howe then art thou turned vnto me into the plants of a strange vine?
22 Ina e holoi oe ia oe i ka paakai holoi, a hoonui hoi i ka sopa, ua palahea no kou hewa imua o'u, wahi a Iehova, ka Haku.
Though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much sope, yet thine iniquitie is marked before me, sayeth the Lord God.
23 Pehea la e hiki ai ia oe ke olelo, Aole au i haumia, aole au i hahai mamuli o na Baala? E nana i kou ala ma ke awawa, e hoomaopopo hoi i ka mea au i hana'i. He kamelo mama no oe e holoholo ana i kona mau ala iho:
Howe canst thou say, I am not polluted, neither haue I followed Baalim? beholde thy waies in the valley, and know, what thou hast done: thou art like a swift dromedarie, that runneth by his waies.
24 He hoki hihiu hoi, ua maa ma ka waonahele, e hau ana i ka makani no kona makemake iho. Ia ia e lapa kane ai, owai ka mea hiki ke hoohuli aku ia ia? o ka poe a pau e imi ana ia ia, aole lakou e hoomaloeloe ia lakou iho, no ka mea, a hiki i kona mahina, loaa no ia ia lakou.
And as a wilde asse, vsed to the wildernesse, that snuffeth vp the winde by occasion at her pleasure: who can turne her backe? all they that seeke her, will not wearie themselues, but wil finde her in her moneth.
25 E malama oe i kou wawae, o kamaa ole, a me kou puu, o maloo. Aka, olelo mai la oe, Make hewa. Oia, ua makemake au i na malihini, a e hahai no au ia lakou.
Keepe thou thy feete from barenes, and thy throte from thirst: but thou saidest desperately, No, for I haue loued strangers, and them will I follow.
26 E like me ka aihue i hilahila i kona wa e loaa'i, pela no e hilahila ai ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, o lakou, a me ko lakou alii, a me ko lakou poe luna, a me ko lakou poe kahuna, a me ko lakou poe kaula,
As the theefe is ashamed, when he is foud, so is the house of Israel ashamed, they, their kings, their princes and their Priests, and their Prophets,
27 E olelo ana hoi i ka laau, O oe ko'u makuakane; a i ka pohaku hoi, Nau no wau i hanau: a ua huli lakou i ke kua ia'u, aole i ka maka. Aka, i ka manawa o ko lakou poino, e olelo mai no lakou, E ala, e hoola mai oe ia makou.
Saying to a tree, Thou art my father, and to a stone, Thou hast begotten me: for they haue turned their back vnto me, and not their face: but in ye time of their troble they wil say, Arise, and help vs.
28 Auhea kou poe akua au i hana'i nou? E ala mai lakou, ina paha e hiki ia lakou ke hoola ia oe i kou popilikia. No ka mea, o ka heluna o kou mau kulanakauhale, oia no ka heluna o kou poe akua, e Iuda.
But where are thy gods, that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can helpe thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the nomber of thy cities, are thy gods, O Iudah.
29 No ke aha la oukou e paio mai ia'u? Ua hana hewa mai ia'u, oukou a pau, wahi a Iehova.
Wherefore wil ye pleade with me? ye all haue rebelled against me, sayeth the Lord.
30 Ua make hewa ko'u paipai ana i ka oukou poe keiki: aole i loaa ia lakou ka naauao. Na ka oukou pahikaua no i hoopau i ko oukou poe kaula, e like me ka liona luku.
I haue smitten your children in vaine, they receiued no correction: your owne sworde hath deuoured your Prophets like a destroying lyon.
31 E ka hanauna kanaka, e nana oukou i ka olelo a Iehova. He waouahele anei au ne ka Iseraela? He aina pouli hai? No ke aha la i olelo ai ko'u poe kanaka, E aea lealea aku makou, aole makou hei hou aku iou la?
O generation, take heede to the worde of the Lord: haue I bene as a wildernesse vnto Israel? or a lande of darkenesse? Wherefore sayeth my people then, We are lordes, we will come no more vnto thee?
32 E hiki anei ke kaikamahine ke hoopoina i kona kahike ana, a me ka wahine mare hoi i kona kaei? Aka, ua hoopoina ko'u poe kanaka ia'u i na la pau ole i ka helu.
Can a maid forget her ornament, or a bride her attire? yet my people haue forgotten me, daies without number.
33 No ke aha la oe e hoomaikai nei i kou aoao, e imi i ke aloha? Nolaila, ua ao aku oe i ka poe hewa i kou mau aoao.
Why doest thou prepare thy way, to seeke amitie? euen therefore will I teach thee, that thy waies are wickednesse.
34 Ma na kihi o kou aahu, ua loaa ke koko o na uhane o ka poe ilihune hewa ole; aole i loaa ma ka huli ana, aka, maluna no ia o keia mau mea a pau.
Also in thy wings is founde the bloud of the soules of ye poore innocents: I haue not found it in holes, but vpon all these places.
35 Aka, ke olelo nei oe. Aole o'u hewa, holaila, e huli aku ai kona huhu, mai o'u aku nei. Aia hoi, e paio aku no au ia oe, no ka mea, na olelo oe. Aole au i hewa.
Yet thou saiest, Because I am giltles, surely his wrath shall turne from mee: beholde, I will enter with thee into iudgement, because thou saiest, I haue not sinned.
36 Heaha kou mea e hele nui aku ai, e hoololi hou i kou aoao? E hilahila no hoi oe ia Aigupita. e like me oe i hilahila ai ia Asuria.
Why runnest thou about so much to change thy waies? for thou shalt be confounded of Egypt, as thou art confounded of Asshur.
37 Oia, e hele aku no oe, mai ona aku la, a aia hoi kou mau lima maluna e kou poo: no ka mea. ua hoowahawaha o Iehova i kou mea i hiliuai ai, aole hoi oe e pomaikai ia lakou.
For thou shalt goe foorth from thence, and thine hands vpon thine head, because the Lord hath reiected thy confidence, and thou shalt not prosper thereby.
