Ieremia 23
1 A UWE ka poe kahu i luku, a hoopuehu i ka poe hipa o ko'u kihapai! wahi a Iehova.
Woe to the shepherds, Who lose and scatter the sheep of my pasture, saith Jehovah.
2 Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, no na kahu, ka poe hanai i ko'u poe kanaka; Ua hoopuehu oukou i ka'u poe hipa, a ua kipaku ia lakou, aole i hele mai e ike ia lakou; aia hoi, e hoopai no wau maluna o oukou, i ka hewa o ka oukou hana ana, wahi a Iehova.
For concerning the shepherds, the feeders of my people, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, And have not taken care of them. Behold, I am about to requite you For the evil of your doings, saith Jehovah.
3 A e hoiliili no wau i ke koena o ka'u poe hipa, mai na aina a pau mai, kahi a'u i hookuke aku ai ia lakou, a e hoihoi hou mai au ia lakou iloko o ko lakou mau pa: a e kawowo lakou, a mahuahua aku.
But I will gather the remnant of my flock From all the countries whither I have driven them, And I will bring them back to their folds, And they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 A e hoonoho wau i kahu maluna o'lakou, he poe hanai aku ia lakou; aole lakou e makau hou, aole e weliweli, aole hoi lakou e hoopai hou ia, wahi a Iehova.
And I will raise up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; They shall fear no more, nor be dismayed; Nor shall they be lost, saith Jehovah.
5 Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, o hoala no wau no Davida, i Oha pono, i Alii e noho aupuni, a e pomaikai auanei, a e hana no oia i ka hooponopono, a i ka pololei ma ka honua.
Behold, the days are coming, saith Jehovah, When I will raise up from David a righteous Branch, And a king shall reign and prosper, And shall maintain justice and equity in the land.
6 I kona mau la e hoolaia o ka Iuda, a e noho maluhia o ka Iseraela, a eia hoi kona inoa e kapaia mai ai, O IEHOVA KO KAKOU PONO.
In his days Judah shall be saved, And Israel shall dwell securely; And this is the name which shall be given him, Jehovah-is-our-salvation.
7 Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, aole lakou e olelo hou mai, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai ka poe mamo a Iseraela, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai;
Therefore, behold, the days shall come, saith Jehovah, When they shall no more say, “As Jehovah liveth Who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt!”
8 Aka, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai, alakai hoi i na hua o ka hale o ka Iseraela, mai ka aina o ko kukulu akau mai, a mai na aina a pau mai, kahi a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou; a e noho no lakou ma ko lakou aina iho.
But, “As Jehovah liveth Who brought up and led the race of Israel from the north country, And from all the countries whither I had driven them!” And they shall dwell in their own land.
9 Ua nahae ko'u naau iloko o'u no na kaula, haalulu no hoi ko'u mau iwi a pau. Ua like no au me ke kanaka i ona, a like hoi me ke kanaka i lanakilaia e ka waina, no Iehova, a no na huaolelo o kona Hemolele.
Concerning the Prophets. My heart is broken within me; All my bones tremble. I am become like a drunken man, Like a man whom wine hath overcome, Because of Jehovah, And because of his holy words.
10 No ka mea, ua piha ka aina i ka poe moekolohe; no ka mea, ke kumakena nei ka aina, no ka hoohiki ino aua: ua maloo hoi na wahi maikai o ka waonahele; ua hewa ko lakou holo ana, aole hoi i pono ko lakou ikaika.
For the land is full of adulteries; Because of a curse doth the land mourn; The pastures of the waste are dried up; For they run to do evil, And their might is without right.
11 No ka mea, ua aia no ke kaula, a me ke kahuna, oia, ua loaa no ia'u ko lakou hewa maloko o ko'u hale, wahi a Iehova.
Yea, both prophet and priest are profane; Even in my house have I found their wickedness, saith Jehovah.
12 Nolaila, e like auanei ko lakou aoao ia lakou, me kahi pahee maloko o ka pouli; e kipakuia'ku la no lakou, a e haule iloko olaila; no ka mea, e lawe no wau i ka hewa maluna o lakou, i ka makahiki hoi o ko lakou hoopaiia, wahi a Iehova.
Therefore shall their way become as slippery places in the dark; They shall be driven on and fall therein; For I will bring evil upon them In the time of their visitation, saith Jehovah.
13 Ua ike no au i ka lapuwale maloko o na kaula o Samaria, a wanana ae lakou ma o Baala la, a alakai hewa iho la i ko'u poe kanaka, i ka Iseraela.
In the prophets of Samaria have I seen folly; They prophesy in the name of Baal, and cause my people Israel to err.
14 Ua ike no hoi au i ka mea inoino loa iloko o na kaula o Ierusalema; moe kolohe no lakou, a hele ma ka wahahee. Hooikaika no hoi lakou i na lima o ka poe hana hewa, i hoi ole mai kekahi, mai kona hewa mai. Ua like no lakou a pau ia'u me ko Sodoma, a o ka poe hoi e noho ana malaila, ua like no me ko Gomora.
In the prophets of Jerusalem also have I seen a horrible thing; They commit adultery, and walk in falsehood; They strengthen the hands of evil-doers, So that none doth turn from his iniquity. They have all become to me as Sodom, And her inhabitants as Gomorrah.
15 Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, no na kaula; Aia hoi, e hanai aku au ia lakou i ka laau awaawa, a e hoohainu aku au ia lakou i ka wai o ke au; no ka mea, mai na kaula o Ierusalema aku i hele aku ai ka aia, a i ka aina a pau.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, And give them the water of hemlock to drink; For from the prophets of Jerusalem Hath profaneness gone forth into all the land.
16 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, Mai hoolohe oukou i na olelo a na kaula, ka poe wanana mai ia oukou. Hoolilo no lakou ia oukou i mea lapuwale; hai mai no lakou i ka hihio o ko lakou naau iho, aole mai ka waha o Iehova mai.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Hearken not to the words of the prophets; They lead you to vanity; They utter the vision of their own heart, And not from the mouth of Jehovah.
17 Ke olelo ikaika mai nei lakou i ka poe hoowahawaha mai ia'u, Ua olelo mai o Iehova, E loaa ia oukou ka maluhia: a olelo no hoi lakou i kela mea i keia mea i hele mamuli o ka paakiki o kona naau iho, Aohe hewa e hiki mai ana maluna o oukou.
To them that despise me they say continually, “Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace”; And to every one that walketh after the perverseness of his heart, “No evil shall come upon you.”
18 No ka mea, owai ka mea i ku ma ka ahaolelo o Iehova, a ike aku la, a lohe i kana olelo? Owai ka mea i haliu aku i kana olelo a lohe?
For who of them hath stood in the council of Jehovah, And hath seen and heard his word? Who hath listened to his word and heard it?
19 Aia hoi, he puahiohio no Iehova ka i puka mai me ka huhu, he puahiohio nui loa; e haule ino no ia maluna o ke poo o ka poe hewa.
Behold a whirlwind from Jehovah goeth forth in fury, Even a rushing whirlwind; Upon the head of the wicked shall it rush.
20 Aole e hoi hou aku ka huhu o Iehova, a hooko oia, a hana io i ka manao o kona naau. I na la mahope, e hoomaopopo loa oukou ia mea.
The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not turn back, Until he shall have executed, until he shall have accomplished the purpose of his heart. In the latter days ye shall understand it fully.
21 Aole au i hoouna aku i keia poe kaula, ua holo nae lakou; aole au i olelo ia lakou, aka, ua wanana ae lakou.
I sent not these prophets, yet they ran; I spake not to them, yet they prophesied.
22 Aka, ina i ku lakou maloko o ka'u ahaolelo; ina ua hana aku i ko'u poe kanaka e lohe i ka'u mau olelo, ina ua hoohuli hoi lakou i kela poo, mai ko lakou aoao hewa mai, a mai ka hewa mai hoi o ka lakou hana ana.
For if they had stood in my council, Then would they have caused my people to hear my words, And would have turned them from their evil way. And from the wickedness of their doings.
23 He Akua kokoke nei au, wahi a Iehova, aole hoi he Akua ma kahi loihi aku?
Am I a God near at hand, saith Jehovah, And not a God afar off?
24 E huna anei kekahi ia ia iho ma na wahi malu, i ike ole aku ai au ia ia, wahi a Iehova? Aole anei au i hoopiha i ka lani, a me ka honua? wahi a Iehova.
Can any one hide himself in secret places, So that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah; Do I nor fill heaven and earth? saith Jehovah.
25 Ua lohe no wau i na mea a na kaula i olelo ai, ka poe i wanana wahahee ma ko'u inoa, me ka olelo iho, Ua moeuhane au, ua moeuhane au.
I have heard what the prophets say, Who prophesy falsehood in my name, Saying, “I have dreamed, I have dreamed.”
26 Pehea la ka loihi o ka noho ana o keia iloko o ka naau o na kaula, ka poe wanana wahahee? Oia, he poe kaula lakou no ka hoopunipuni o ko lakou naau iho;
How long shall this be In the heart of the prophets, who prophesy falsehood, The prophets of the deceit of their own heart,
27 He poe manao e haawi i ko'u poe kanaka i ka hoopoina i ko'u inoa, no ko lakou mau moeuhane, na mea a kela mea keia mea o lakou i hai ae i kona hoalauna, e like me ko lakou poe makua i hoopoina i ko'u inoa ma o Baala la.
Who think to cause my people to forget my name By the dreams which they relate one to another, As their fathers forgot my name through Baal?
28 O ke kaula moeuhane, e hai ae oia i ka moeuhane; a o ka mea ia ia ka'u olelo, e hai pololei oia i ka'u olelo. Heaha ke aa i ka palaoa, wahi a Iehova?
The prophet who hath a dream, let him tell a dream; And he that hath my word, let him speak my word truly! What is the chaff to the wheat? saith Jehovah.
29 Aole anei i like ka'u olelo me ke ahi? wahi a Iehova; a like hoi me ka hamare, ka mea e nahaha ai ka pohaku?
Is not my word like fire, saith Jehovah, And like a hammer, that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30 Nolaila au e ku e nei i na kaula, wahi a Iehova, na mea aihue i ka'u mau olelo, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka kona hoalauna.
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, That steal my words one from another.
31 Aia hoi, ke ku e nei au i na kaula, wahi a Iehova, ka poe hana me ko lakou alelo, a olelo mai, Ke i mai nei oia.
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, That take their tongues and utter oracles.
32 Aia hoi, ke ku e nei au i ka poe wanana iho i na moeuhane wahahee, wahi a Iehova, a hai ae ia mau mea, a alakai hewa i ko'u poe kanaka, i ka lakou mau mea wahahee, a i ka lakou kaena ana: aole nae au i hoouna ia lakou, aole i kauoha aku ia lakou: nolaila, aole lakou e hoopomaikai iki i keia poe kanaka, wahi a Iehova.
Behold, I am against the prophets of false dreams, saith Jehovah, Who tell them, and cause my people to err By their lies and their arrogance. I have not sent them, nor commanded them, And they shall not profit this people at all, saith Jehovah.
33 A hiki i ka manawa e ninau mai ai ia oe, o keia poe kanaka, a o ke kaula paha, a o ke kahuna paha, a olelo mai, Heaha ka wanana a Iehova? Alaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou, O ka wanana hea? E haalele no wau ia oukou, wahi a Iehova.
And when this people, or a prophet, or a priest Shall ask thee, saying, “What is the burden from Jehovah?” Then say thou to them, “What is the burden?” That I will cast you away, saith Jehovah.
34 A o ke kaula, a o ke kahuna, a o ka lahuikanaka e olelo, Ka wanana a Iehova, na'u no e hoopai aku i kela kanaka, a me ko kona hale.
And the prophet, the priest, and the people, Who shall say, “The burden of Jehovah,” I will punish that man and his house.
35 Penei oukou e olelo ai, o kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, o kela mea keia mea i kona hoahanau; Heaha ka Iehova i pane mai ai? a heaha hoi ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
Thus shall ye speak, one to another: “What hath Jehovah answered?” And, “What hath Jehovah spoken?”
36 A mai hai hou oukou i ka wanana a Iehova; no ka mea, o ka olelo a kela kanaka keia kanaka, oia kana wanana: no ka mea, ua hoololi oukou i na olelo a ke Akua ola, o Iehova o na kaua, o ko kakou Akua.
And of a burden of Jehovah shall ye speak no more; Else shall every man's word be his burden, Because ye pervert the words of the living God, Of Jehovah of hosts, our God.
37 Penei oe o olelo aku ai i ke kaula, Heaha ka Iehova i pane mai ai ia oe? a heaha hoi ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
Thus shalt thou say to the prophet: “What hath Jehovah answered thee?” And, “What hath Jehovah spoken?”
38 Aka, no ka oukou olelo ana, Ka wanana a Iehova; nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova; No ka oukou olelo ana mai i keia olelo, Ka wanana a Iehova, a ua hoouna aku au ia oukou, me ka i iho, Mai olelo oukou, Ka wanana a Iehova;
If ye shall say, “The burden of Jehovah,” Then thus saith Jehovah: Because ye say, “The burden of Jehovah,” Although I sent to you and said, Ye shall not say, “The burden of Jehovah,”
39 Nolaila, wau no, e hoopoina loa no wau ia oukou, a e haalele no wau ia oukou, a me ke kulanakauhale a'u i haawi aku ai ia oukou, a me ko oukou poe kupuna, a e lilo auanei oukou mai ko'u alo aku.
Therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, And I will cast you, and the city which I gave to your fathers, out of my presence;
40 A e haawi no wau ia oukou, i mea hoowahawaha mau loa, a i hilahila pau ole, aole hoi e poinaia.
And I will bring upon you an everlasting reproach, And a perpetual shame which shall not be forgotten.
