Ieremia 2
1 A HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Moreover the word of the LORD came to 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.
Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the LORD; I remember you, the kindness of your youth, the love of your espousals, when you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
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 holiness to the LORD, and the first fruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come on them, says 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.
Hear you the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, 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 says the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
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?
Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelled?
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 plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my 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 handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
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.
Why I will yet plead with you, says the LORD, and with your children’s children will I plead.
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 pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
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.
Has a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.
12 E kahaha mai, e na lani i keia, a e weliweli loa hoi, e lilo oukou i neoneo loa hoi, wahi a Iehova.
Be astonished, O you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be you very desolate, says 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 have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold 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 servant? is he a home born slave? why 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 young lions roared on him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
16 Ua hoopau no hoi na keiki o Nopa, a me Tahapanesa i kou piko poo.
Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of your 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?
Have you not procured this to yourself, in that you have forsaken the LORD your God, when he led you 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 now what have you to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what have you to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
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.
Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backslidings shall reprove you: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that you have forsaken the LORD your God, and that my fear is not in you, says the Lord GOD of hosts.
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 old time I have broken your yoke, and burst your bands; and you said, I will not transgress; when on every high hill and under every green tree you wander, playing the harlot.
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 you a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then are you turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine to me?
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.
For though you wash you with nitre, and take you much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me, says 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:
How can you say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see your way in the valley, know what you have done: you are a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
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.
A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffs up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
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.
Withhold your foot from being unshod, and your throat from thirst: but you said, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
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 thief is ashamed when he is found, 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 stock, You are my father; and to a stone, You have brought me forth: for they have turned their back to me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
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 your gods that you have made you? let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble: for according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah.
29 No ke aha la oukou e paio mai ia'u? Ua hana hewa mai ia'u, oukou a pau, wahi a Iehova.
Why will you plead with me? you all have transgressed against me, says 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.
In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
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, see you the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? a land of darkness? why say my people, We are lords; we will come no more to you?
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 ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days 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 trim you your way to seek love? therefore have you also taught the wicked ones your ways.
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 your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but on all these.
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 you say, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with you, because you say, I have 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 gad you about so much to change your way? you also shall be ashamed of Egypt, as you were ashamed of Assyria.
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.
Yes, you shall go forth from him, and your hands on your head: for the LORD has rejected your confidences, and you shall not prosper in them.
