Ieremia 23
1 A UWE ka poe kahu i luku, a hoopuehu i ka poe hipa o ko'u kihapai! wahi a Iehova.
Woe be to the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
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.
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
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.
And I will gather the remnant of my flock from all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again 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 set shepherds over them who shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
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 come, saith the LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice upon the earth.
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 in safety: and this [is] his name by which he shall be called, JEHOVAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
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 come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, who brought the children of Israel out of 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, the LORD liveth, who brought and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I have 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.
My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
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 adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force [is] not 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.
For both prophet and priest are profane; even in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
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.
Wherefore their way shall be to them as slippery [ways] in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, [even] the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
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.
And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused 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.
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evil-doers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them to me as Sodom, and the inhabitants of it 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 the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is 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 the LORD of hosts, Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, [and] not from the mouth of the LORD.
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.
They say still to them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say to every one that walketh after the imagination of his own 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 hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked 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 of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
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 anger of the LORD shall not return, until he shall have executed, and till he shall have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
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 have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken 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.
But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23 He Akua kokoke nei au, wahi a Iehova, aole hoi he Akua ma kahi loihi aku?
[Am] I a God at hand, saith the LORD, 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 hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
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 said, that prophesy lies 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 that prophesy lies? yes, [they are] 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 their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for 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 that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What [is] the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD?
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 a fire? saith the LORD? 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 the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbor.
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 the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
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 them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
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 the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What [is] the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say to them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
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 [as for] the prophet, and the priest, and the people that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even 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 say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD 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 the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD 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 the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD 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;
But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent to you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
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, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave to you and your fathers, [and cast you] 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 an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
