Ieremia 20
1 A O Pasehura, ke keiki a Imera, ke kahuna, ka mea maluna o na luna maloko o ka hale o Iehova, lohe no oia, ua wanana o Ieremia i keia mau mea.
Pashhur, son of Immer, was a priest and the official in charge of the Lord's Temple. When he heard Jeremiah prophesying these things,
2 Alaila, hahau o Pasehura ia Ieremia, ke kaula, a hahao iho la ia ia iloko o kahi paa o na laau kupee, ma ka pukapa kiekie o Beniamina, o ka mea kokoke i ka hale o Iehova.
he beat Jeremiah the prophet and had him put in the stocks at the Upper Benjamin Gate, near to the Lord's Temple.
3 A ia la iho, lawe mai o Pasehura ia Ieremia mawaho o kahi paa o na laau kupee. Alaila, olelo ae la o Ieremia ia ia, Aole i kapa mai o Iehova i kou inoa, o Pasehura, aka, o Magoramisabiba.
The following day, when Pashhur had Jeremiah released from the stocks, Jeremiah told him, “The Lord doesn't call you Pashhur (tear in pieces), but Magor-missabib (terror is everywhere).
4 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Aia hoi, e hoolilo no wau ia oe i mea makau wale nou iho, a no kou poe hoahanau a pau; a e haule no lakou i ka pahikaua o ko lakou poe enemi, a e ike no kou mau maka; a e haawi no wau i ka Iuda a pau iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a e lawepio no oia ia lakou i Babulona, a luku no oia ia lakou i ka pahikaua.
For this is what the Lord says: I'm going to make you terrified—you and all those you love. Enemies will kill them as you watch. I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon. He will kill some, and the rest he will take away into exile in Babylon.
5 A e haawi no wau i ka ikaika a pau o keia kulanakauhale, a me kana hana a pau, a me kona mau mea maikai a pau, a o ka waiwai a pau o na'lii o ka Iuda ka'u e haawi aku ai iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, na mea e hao i ka lakou, a lawepio ia lakou, a e lawe aku keia poe ia lakou i Babulona.
I'm going to give it all away. All the wealth of this city, all the results of hard work, all the valuables, all the crown jewels of Judah's kings—I'm going to hand it over to their enemies, who will take it as plunder and carry it off to Babylon.
6 A o oe, e Pasehura, a me ka poe a pau e noho la ma kou hale, e hele no iloko o ke pio; a e hiki no oe i Babulona, a malaila oe e make ai, a malaila oe e kanuia'i, o oe, a me kou mau makamaka a pau, ka poe au i wanana aku ai ma ka wahahee.
You, Pashhur, and everyone who lives with you, will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon. You will die there and be buried—you and all those you love, those to whom you prophesied lies.”
7 E Iehova, ua hoowalewale mai oe ia'u, a ua walewale au; ua oi aku kou ikaika i ko'u, a ua lanakila oe; he mea akaaka wau i na la a pau, henehene mai no na mea a pau ia'u.
You fooled me, Lord, and I let myself be fooled! You're stronger than me—you've won! I've become a joke people laugh at all day long. Everyone is mocking me.
8 No ka mea, i ka wa a'u i olelo ai, uwe aku la au, a kahea aku la no hoi, he kaili wale, a me ka hao ana; no ka mea, lilo no ka olelo a Iehova, i mea e heneheneia mai ai, a i mea hoi e hoowahawahaia mai ai au i na la a pau.
This is because every time I open my mouth I have to shout out warnings of violence and destruction. The Lord's message has become the reason people criticize and ridicule me the whole time.
9 Alaila, olelo iho la au, Aole au e hoomanao hou ia ia, aole hoi e olelo hou ma kona inoa; aka, ua like ia iloko o ko'u naau, me ke ahi e a ana, a paniia hoi iloko o ko'u mau iwi; a ikiiki au i ka hoomanawanui ana, aole hoi i hiki ia'u.
If I tell myself, “I won't talk about him anymore, I won't even mention his name,” then his message is like a fire trapped within me, burning me from the inside out. I'm getting tired of holding it in. I just can't win.
10 Lohe no wau i ka hoowahawaha ana o na mea he nui, he makau no ma na aoao a pau. E hai aku oe, a e hai aku no makou ia, wahi a lakou. Ua hoomakakiu mai ko'u poe makamaka a pau i ko'u haule ana, me ka manao iho, E hoowalewaleia paha oia, a lanakila kakou maluna ona, a e hoopai aku kakou ia ia no kakou.
I've heard many people gossiping: “He's the one who says, ‘terror is everywhere!’ He has to be reported! Report what he's doing!” All my good friends are waiting for me to slip up. “Maybe he'll make a mistake so we can defeat him and get our revenge on him,” they say.
11 Aka, o Iehova pu no me au, e like me ka mea mana a weliweli; nolaila e hina'i ka poe hoomaau mai ia'u, aole lakou e lanakila: e hilahila loa auanei lakou, no ka mea, aole lakou e pomaikai. Aole e poinaia ko lakou hilahila mau loa.
But the Lord stands beside me like a powerful warrior. So those who are attacking me will fall. They won't win! Because they're not successful they will be totally disgraced. Their shame won't ever be forgotten.
12 Aka, o oe, e Iehova o na kaua, ka mea hoao mai i ka poe i pono, ka mea ike i ka opu, a me ka naau, e hoike mai oe ia'u i kou ukiuki ia lakou; no ka mea, ia oe no ko'u hoopii ana i ko'u pono.
Lord Almighty, you know without question who is living right. You examine people's thoughts and feelings. So let me see your punishment fall on them, because I've trusted you to judge my case.
13 E oli aku ia Iehova, e hoomaikai ia Iehova, no ka mea, ua hoopakele oia i ka uhane o ka poe hune, mai ka lima aku o ka poe hana hewa.
Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he saves the poor from the power of the wicked.
14 E hoinoia ka la a'u i hanauia'i: Mai hoomaikaiia ka la a kuu makuwahine i hanau mai ai ia'u.
May the day I was born be cursed! May the day my mother gave birth to me never be blessed!
15 E hoinoia ke kanaka i hai aku i ko'u makuakane, me ka olelo aku, Ua hanauia mai he keikikane nau, a hoohauoli nui aku la ia ia.
May the man be cursed who brought my father the news that made him really happy, saying, “You have a son.”
16 E hoohalikeia keia kanaka me na kulanakauhale a Iehova i hoohiolo ai, a mihi ole hoi. I lohe oia i ka uwe ana i kakahiaka, a me ka hooho ana i ke awakea;
May that man be like the towns that the Lord destroyed without mercy. May he hear shouts of alarm in the morning and war-cries at noon,
17 No kona pepehi ole mai ia'u, mai ka opu mai, a lilo ole ko'u makuwahine i lua no'u, a mau loa aku ka nui ana o kona opu.
because he should have killed me in the womb so that my mother would have been my grave, remaining pregnant forever.
18 No keaha la wau i puka mai ai mawaho mai o ka opu, e ike i ka luhi, a me ke kaumaha, i hoopauia ko'u mau la i ka hilahila?
Why was I born only to see trouble and sadness, and to end my life in shame?
