Ieremia 3
1 KE olelo nei lakou, Iua kipaku ke kane i kana wahine, a hele aku oia, mai ona aku la, a lilo na ke kanaka e, e hoi hou anei kela ia ia? Aole anei e hoohaumia loa ia kela aina? Ua moe kolohe no nae oe me na ipo he nui loa: aka, e hoi hou mai oe ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
2 E alawa oe i kou mau maka iluna, a i na wahi kiekie. a e nana hoi i kahi i moe ole ia'i oe. Ma na alanui, ua noho kakali oe ia lakou, e like me ko Arabia ma ka waunahele; a ua hoohaumia oe i ka aina, i kou moe kolohe ana, a i kou haua hewa ana.
Lift up thine eyes unto the bare heights, and see; where hast thou not been lain with? By the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3 Noliala, ua kaohiia ka ua, aole hoi i hiki mai ka ua hope ana. Aia no ia oe ka maka o ka wahine hookamakama; hoole no oe, aole oe e hoopalaimaka.
Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; yet thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
4 Mai keia manawa aku, aole anei oe e hea mai ia'u, E kuu makua, o oe no ke alakai o ko'u wa opiopio?
Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
5 E hoomauhala mau loa anei oia? E hoomauhala anei oia, a hiki i ka hopena? Aia hoi, ua olelo oe a ua hana hoi oe i na mea hewa me kou ikaika a pau.
Will he retain [his anger] for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and hast done evil things, and hast had thy way.
6 Olelo mai no hoi o Iehova ia'u, i na la ia Iosia, i ke alii, Ua ike anei oe i ka mea a ka Iseraela hoihope i hana'i? Ua hele no oia maluna o na mauna kiekie a pau, a malalo o na laau uliuli a paa, a malaila i moe kolohe ai.
Moreover the LORD said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
7 A i aku la au, mahope o kana hana ana i keia mau mea a pau, E hali mai oe. ia'u. Aole ia i huli mai, Ike ae la kona kaikuaana kipi, o ka Iuda.
And I said after she had done all these things, She will return unto me; but she returned not: and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 A ike aku la au, a kipaku aku au i ka Iseraela no ka moe kolohe aua, a haawi ia ia i ka palapala hoohemo; alaila, aole i makau kona kaikuaana kipi, o ka Iuda, hele aku no hoi ia, a moe kolohe iho la.
And I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not; but she also went and played the harlot.
9 A no ka kaulana o kona moe kolohe ana, hoohaumia iho la oia i ka aina, a moe kolohe no me ka pohaku, a me ka laau.
And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 Aka, no keia mau mea a pau, aole i huli mai kona kaikuaana kipi ia'u me kona naau a pau, aka, me ka wahahee, wahi a Iehova.
And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.
11 A olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u. Ua hoapono ka Iseraela hoihope ia ia iho, mamua o ka Iuda kipi.
And the LORD said unto me, Backsliding Israel hath shewn herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
12 O hele, e kala aku i keia mau olelo ma ke kukulu akau, a e i aku, E hoi mai, e ka Iseraela hoihope, wahi a Iehova; aole hoi au e hookau aku i ko'u ukiuki maluna o oukou; no ka mea, ua lokomaikai au, wahi a Iehova, aole hoi au e hoomauhala mau loa.
Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; I will not look in anger upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, I will not keep [anger] for ever.
13 E hai wale mai hoi oe i kou hewa, i kau hana hewa ana ia Iehova i kou Akua, a ua lulu aku oe i kou mau aoao i na malihini, malalo o na laau uliuli a pau, aole hoi oukou i hooloho i ko'u leo, wahi a Iehova.
Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
14 E huli mai, e na keiki hoihope, wahi a Iehova, no ka mea, ua mareia au nau: a e lawe no au ia oukou, i hookahi o ke kulanakauhale hookahi, a i elua o ka hale hookahi, a e lawe no au ia oukou i Ziona.
Return, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am a husband unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 A e haawi no au ia oukou i poe kahu mamuli o'ko'u naau, nana e hanai ia oukou i ka ike, a me ka naauao.
and I will give you shepherds according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 A hiki aku i ka manawa e nui ai oukou, a mahuahua ma ka aina, ia mau la, wahi a Iehova, aole lakou e olelo hou, O ka pahu o ka berita o Iehova; aole hoi e komo ia iloko o ka naau, aole lakou e hoomanao ia mea, aole lakou e hele e ike, aole hoi e hana hou ia ia mea.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD; neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall [that] be done any more.
17 Ia manawa, e kapa no lakou ia Ierusalema, o ka nohoalii o Iehova; a e hoakoakoaia mai ko na aina a pau imua ona, i ka inoa o Iehova i Ierusalema; aole hoi lakou e hele hou mamuli o ka paakiki o ka naau hewa.
At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
18 Ia mau la, e hele pu no ko ka hale o ka Iuda, me ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, a e hele pu mai no lakou mai ka aina o ka akau mai, a i ka aina au i haawi aku ai i aina hooili no kou poe makua.
In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 Aka, i iho la au, Pehea la au e waiho ai ia oe iwaena o na keiki, a haawi hoi ia oe i ka aina maikai i aina hooili nani o na pae aina? A olelo aku la au, E kapa mai oukou ia'u, o Ko'u Makua, aole hoi e huli mai o'u aku nei.
But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of the nations? and I said, Ye shall call me My father; and shall not turn away from following me.
20 Oiaio, e like me ka wahine haalele ino i kana kane, pela oukou i haalele ino mai ai ia'u, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, wahi a Iehova.
Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.
21 Ua loheia ka Ieo maluna o na wahi kiekie, o ka uwe ana, e me ka nonoi ana a na mamo a Iseraela; a ua hookekee lakou i ko lakou aoao, a ua hoopoina lakou ia Iehova i ko lakou Akua.
A voice is heard upon the bare heights, the weeping [and] the supplications of the children of Israel; for that they have perverted their way, they have forgotten the LORD their God.
22 E hoi mai oukou, e na keiki hoihope, a e hoola no wau i ko oukou hoihope ana. Aia hoi, ke hele mai nei makou iou la, no ka mea, o oe no o Iehova, o ko makou Akua.
Return, ye backsliding children, I will heal your backslidings, Behold, we are come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
23 He oiaio, he mea wahahee na mea o na mauna mai, a no na kuahiwi lehulehu mai: He oiaio, maloko o Iehova, o ko makou Akua, ke ola o ka Iseraela.
Truly in vain is [the help that is looked for] from the hills, the tumult on the mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
24 Na ka hilahila i hoopau i na hana a ko makou poe makua, mai ko makou wa uuku mai, i ko lakou hipa, a me ko lakou hipi, a me ka lakou keikikane, a me ka lakou kaikamahine.
But the shameful thing hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 Ke moe nei makou ilalo iloko o ko makou hilahila, a ua uhiia makou i ko makou palaimaka; no ka mea, ua hana hewa aku makou ia Iehova i ko makou Akua, o makou, a me ko makou poe makua, mai ko makou wa opiopio, a hiki loa mai nei i keia la, aole hoi i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova, ko makou Akua.
Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day: and we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
