< Ieremia 25 >
1 KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la no na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda, i ka makahiki aha o lehoiakima, ke keiki a losia, ke alii o ka Iuda, oia hoi ka makahiki akahi o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona:
This is the message that came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It concerned all the people of Judah.
2 Ka mea a Ieremia, ke kaula i olelo ai i na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda, a i ka poe a pau e noho ana ma Ierusalema, i mai la,
So the prophet Jeremiah went and spoke to all the people of Judah and all of the people living in Jerusalem, telling them:
3 Mai ka makahiki umikumamakolu o Iosia, ke keiki a Amona, ke alii o ka Iuda a hiki loa mai i keia la, eia hoi ka makahiki iwakaluakumamakolu, ua hiki mai no ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, a ua olelo aku no wau ia oukou, e ala ana i ka wanaao e olelo aku; aka, aole oukou i hoolohe mai.
From the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah until now, twenty-three years in total, messages from the Lord have come to me, and I have told you what he said time and again, but you have not listened.
4 A ua hoouna mai o Iehova io oukou nei i kana mau kauwa a pau, i na kaula hoi, e ala ana i ka wanaao e hoouna; aka, aole oukou i hoolohe, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko oukou pepeiao e lohe ai.
Even though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you time and again, you don't bother to listen or pay any attention.
5 I mai la lakou, E huli hou kela mea keia mea, mai kona aoao hewa mai, a mai ka hewa mai o ka oukou hana ana, a e noho hoi i ka aina a Iehova i haawi mai ai ia oukou, a i ko oukou poe makua, a hiki a kau, a hiki loa aku.
The consistent message has been: Give up your evil ways and the evil things you're doing so you can live in the country that the Lord has given to you and your forefathers forever.
6 A mai hele hoi mamuli o na akua e, e malama ia lakou, a e hoomana ia lakou; a mai hoonaukiuki mai oukou ia'u i na hana a ko oukou mau lima; alaila, aole au e hana ino ia oukou.
Don't follow other gods and worship them, and don't anger me by making idols. Then I won't do anything to hurt you.
7 Aka, aole oukou i hoolohe mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova, i hoonaukiuki mai oukou ia'u i na hana a ko oukou mau lima, i mea e hewa'i oukou.
But you've hurt yourselves by not listening to me, declares the Lord, because you angered me by making idols.
8 Nolaila, ke olelo mai o Iehova o na kaua; No ko oukou hoolohe ole i ka'u mau olelo,
So this is what the Lord Almighty says: Because you have not obeyed what I told you,
9 Aia hoi, e hoouna au, a lawe mai i na ohana kanaka a pau o ke kukulu akau, wahi a Iehova, a me Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, ka'u kauwa, a e lawe mai au ia lakou e ku e i keia aina, a e ku e i kolaila poe kanaka, a e ku e hoi i keia mau lahuikanaka a pau e puni ana, a e luku loa ia lakou, a hoolilo ia lakou i mea e pilihua ai, a i mea e hoowahawaha ai, a i neoneo mau loa.
watch as I summon all the people of the north, declares the Lord. I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to attack this country and the people who live here, and all the surrounding nations. I will set them apart for destruction. I'm going to totally destroy you, and people will be horrified at what's happened to you and will mock you.
10 A e lawe no wau, mai o lakou aku, i ka leo o ka olioli, a me ka leo o ka hauoli, i ka leo o ke kane mare, a me ka leo o ka wahine mare, i ke kani ana o na pohaku kaapalaoa, a me ka malamalama o ke kukui.
I will also put a stop to the cheerful sounds of celebration and the happy voices of the bride and bridegroom. No noise will come from millstones being used; no lamps will be lit.
11 A e lilo no keia aina a pau i neoneo, a i mea e pilihua'i. A e hookauwa aku ko keia mau aina na ke alii o Babulona, i kanahiku makahiki.
This whole country will become an empty wasteland, and Judah and these other nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
12 A hiki i ka manawa i hala'e na makahiki he kanahiku, alaila, e hoopai aku au i ke alii o Babulona, a me ia lahuikanaka, wahi a Iehova, no ko lakou hewa, a i ka aina hoi o ko Kaledea, a e hoolilo no wau ia wahi, i neoneo mau loa.
However, when these seventy years are over, I'm going to punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the country of Babylonia, for their sin, declares the Lord. I will completely destroy them.
13 A e lawe aku au maluna o ia aina i ka'u mau olelo a pau a'u i hai ku e ia ia, i na mea a pau hoi i kakauia maloko o ka buke a Ieremia i wanana ai e ku e i na aina a pau.
I will bring down on that country everything I threatened to do, everything that's written in this book which Jeremiah prophesied against all the different nations.
14 No ka mea, e hookauwa aku lakou na na lahuikanaka he nui, a na na'lii kaulana no hoi. A e hoouku no wau ia lakou, e like me ka lakou hana ana, a e like hoi me na hana a ko lakou lima iho.
Many nations and powerful kings will make slaves of them, the Babylonians, and I will pay them back for the evil they've done.
15 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia'u penei; E lawe oe i ke kiaha waina o keia ukiuki ma kuu lima, a e hoohainu aku ia i na lahuikanaka a pau a'u e hoouna aku ai ia oe io lakou la.
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, told me: Take this cup I'm handing to you. It contains the wine of my anger. You are to make all the nations I send you to drink from it.
16 A e inu no lakou, a e haalulu no, a e hehena iho, imua o ka pahikaua a'u e hoouna aku ai iwaena o lakou.
They will drink and stumble around and go mad because of the war brought by the armies I'm sending to attack them.
17 A lawe iho la au i ke kiaha ma ka lima o Iehova, hoohainu aku la i na lahuikanaka a pau a Iehova i hoouna mai ai ia'u ia lakou:
I took the cup the Lord handed to me and made all the nations he sent me to drink from it:
18 Ia Ierusalema hoi, a i na kulanakauhale o Iuda, a i kona poe alii, a i kona poe kaukaualii, e haawi hoi ia lakou no ka hooneoneoia, i mea e pilihua ai, a i mea hoowahawaha, a i mea e poino ai, e like me ia i keia la;
To Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, destroying them so that people were horrified at what happened to them and mocked them and cursed them (and they are still like this today);
19 Ia Parao i ke alii o Aigupita, a i kana poe kauwa, a i kana poe alii, a i kona poe kanaka a pau;
to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his officials, leaders, all his people
20 A i na malihini a pau, a i na a'lii o ka aina o Uza, a i na'lii a pau o na aina o ko Pilisetia, a me Asekelona, a me Aza, a me Ekerona, a me ke koena o Asedoda;
and all the foreigners living there; to all the kings of the country of Uz; to all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what's left of Ashdod;
21 Ia Edoma, a me Moaba, a me na mamo a Amona;
to Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
22 I na'lii a pau o Turo, ai na'lii a pau o na aina o Zidona, a i na'lii o na aina ma kela aoao o ke kai;
to all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; to the kings of the Mediterranean sea coast;
23 Ia Dedana, a me Tema, a me Buza, a me na mea a pau ma na mokuna loihi loa aku;
to Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who trim their hair on the sides of their heads;
24 A i na'lii a pau o Arabia, a i na'lii a pau o na malihini e noho ana ma ka waonahele;
to all the kings of Arabia; and to all the kings of the different tribes living in the desert;
25 A i na'lii a pau o Zimeri, a i na'lii a pau o Elama, a i na'lii a pau o Media;
to all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
26 A i na'lii a pau o ke kukuluakau, ma kahi loihi aku, a ma kahi kokoke mai, kekahi i kekahi, a i na aupuni a pau o keia ao, maluna o ka honua nei; a e inu ke alii, o Sesaka mahope o lakou.
to all the kings of the north; in fact to all the kingdoms on earth whether close or far away, one after another. After all of them, the king of Babylon will drink it too.
27 A e olelo no oe ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela peneia; E inu oukou a ona, a e luai aku, a e hina, aole hoi e ala hou, no ka pahikaua a'u e hoouna aku ai iwaena o oukou.
Tell them this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, make yourselves drunk, and vomit. Because of the war you'll be killed, falling down never to get up again.
28 A ina hoole lakou aole lawe i ke kiaha ma kou lima e inu ai, alaila, e olelo oe ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei; E inu io auanei oukou.
If they should refuse to take the cup and drink from it, tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty says: You can't avoid drinking it—you have to!
29 No ka mea, aia hoi, ke hoomaka nei au e lawe mai i ka hewa maluna o ke kulanakauhale i kapaia ma ko'u inoa, a e hoopai ole loa ia anei oukou? Aole ole ko oukou hoopaiia; no ka mea, e hea aku no wau i ka pahikaua, e hele ae maluna o ka poe a pau e noho la ma ka honua, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
Can't you see that I'm about to bring disaster down on my own city, so do you really think you wouldn't be punished as well? You won't go unpunished, for I am bringing war to everyone on earth, declares the Lord Almighty.
30 A e wanana ku e oe ia lakou i keia mau olelo a pau, a e olelo ia lakou, E uwo mai no o Iehova, mailuna mai, a e haawi mai oia i kona leo, mai kahi e noho ai kona hemolelo mai; e uwo nui loa oia maluna o kona wahi noho ai; e like me ka poe hahi, pela no oia e hooho ai e ku e i ka poe e noho la ma ka honua.
Give this whole message as a prophecy against them. Tell them: The Lord will thunder from high above. He will thunder loudly from the holy place where he lives. He will give a great roar against the sheepfolds. He will give a loud shout like people treading the grapes, frightening everyone who lives on earth.
31 E hiki mai no ka uwalaau, mai na kukulu mai o ka honua; no ka mea, he paio no ka Iehova me ko na aina, e hooponopono no oia maluna o na mea io a pau; e haawi no hoi oia i ka poe hewa i ka pahikaua, wahi a Iehova.
The sound will reach everywhere on the earth because the Lord is accusing the nations. He is judging everyone, executing the wicked, declares the Lord.
32 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, Aia hoi, e puka no ka hewa, mai kekahi aina, a i kekahi aina; a e hoalaia ka puahiohio, mai na kukulu o ka honua mai.
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Watch out! Disaster is falling on one nation after another; an immense storm is building up in the far distance.
33 A i kela la, e palahalaha auanei ka poe i pepehiia e Iehova, mai kekahi kukulu o ka honua, a i kekahi kukulu: aole lakou e kumakenaia, aole hoi e hoiliiliia, aole e kanuia; e lilo lakou i lepo maluna o ka aina.
Those killed by the Lord at that time will cover the earth from one end to the other. No one will mourn them, or collect them, or bury them. They will be like piles of manure lying on the ground.
34 E aoa oukou, e na kahuhipa, a e uwe aku; a e kapi ia oukou iho i ka lehu, e ka poe malama hipa; no ka mea, ua lawa ko oukou mau la o ka pepehi, a me ka hoopuehu, a e haule no oukou, e like me ke kiaha maikai.
Cry out and weep, you shepherds! Roll around on the ground mourning, you leaders of the flock. The time for you to be killed has come; you will fall, smashed like the finest pottery.
35 Aohe wahi no na kahuhipa e pee aku ai; aohe wahi hoi e pakele ai ka malama hipa.
The shepherds won't be able to run away; the leaders of the flock won't escape.
36 He leo hoi no ka uwe ana o na kahuhipa, a me ka aoa ana o ka poe malama hipa, no ka mea, ua anai o Iehova i ko lakou wahi e ai ai.
Listen to the cries of the shepherds, the weeping of the leaders of the flock, for the Lord is destroying their pasturelands.
37 Ua hoopauia ko lakou wahi e noho ai me ka malu, no ka ukiuki nui o Iehova.
The peaceful sheepfolds have been ruined because of the Lord's fierce anger.
38 Ua haalele oia i kona wahi huna me he liona la; no ka mea, ua neoneo ko lakou aina, no ka huhu nui o ka mea hookaumaha, a no kona ukiuki loa.
The Lord has left his den like a lion, because their country has been devastated by the invading armies, and because of the Lord's fierce anger.
