Ieremia 31
1 I A manawa, wahi a Iehova, owau auanei ke Akua o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, a o lakou auanei ko'u poe kanaka.
“At that time,” declares the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be My people.”
2 Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, O na kanaka i koe o ka pahikaua, loaa no ia lakou ka lokomaikai ma ka waonahele, o ka Iseraela hoi, ia'u i hele ai e hoomaha ia lakou.
This is what the LORD says: “The people who survived the sword found favor in the wilderness when Israel went to find rest.”
3 I ka wa kahiko, ikea o Iehova ia'u, i mai la, Oiaio, ua mau loa ko'u aloha aku ia oe; nolaila, ua hooloihi aku au i ka lokomaikai nou.
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with loving devotion.
4 E kukulu hou ana no wau ia oe, a e kukuluia no oe, e ke kaikamahine puupaa o ka Iseraela. E kahiko hou ia no oe i kou mau pahu kani, e hele aku no i ka haa ana o ka poe olioli.
Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out in joyful dancing.
5 E kanu hou ana no oe i na kumuwaina ma na mauna o Samaria; e kanu no ka poe kanu, a e ai wale hoi.
Again you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria; the farmers will plant and enjoy the fruit.
6 No ka mea, e hiki mai auanei ka la e hea aku ai ka poe kiai maluna o ka mauna o Eperaima, E ala mai oukou, a e pii aku kakou i Ziona, io Iehova la, i ko kakou Akua.
For there will be a day when watchmen will call out on the hills of Ephraim, ‘Arise, let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God!’”
7 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; E mele olioli no Iehova, a e hauoli hoi ma ke poo o na aina; e kala aku, a e halelu, a e olelo iho, E Iehova, e hoola oe i kou poe kanaka i ke koena o ka Iseraela.
For this is what the LORD says: “Sing with joy for Jacob; shout for the foremost of the nations! Make your praises heard, and say, ‘O LORD, save Your people, the remnant of Israel!’
8 Aia hoi, e lawe no wau ia lakou, mai ka aina o ke kukulu akau mai, a e hoiliili hoi ia lakou, mai na mokuna mai o ka honua, me lakou pu no, ka poe makapo, a me ka poe oopa, a me ka wahine hapai, a me ka wahine hanau keiki ana; he poe nui ka i hoi pu mai.
Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, including the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor. They will return as a great assembly!
9 E hele mai no lakou me ka uwe, ia lakou e pule ai, e alakai no wau ia lakou; e hoohele no wau ia lakou ma na kahawai, ma ke ala pololei; aole lakou e kulanalana malaila, no ka mea, he Makua no wau no ka Iseraela, a o Eperaima ka'u hiapo.
They will come with weeping, and by their supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk beside streams of waters, on a level path where they will not stumble. For I am Israel’s Father, and Ephraim is My firstborn.”
10 E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e ko na aina, a e kala aku hoi ma na aina loihi e aku, a e olelo, O ka mea i hoopuehu i ka Iseraela, nana no lakou e hoiliili, a e malama ia lakou, e like me ke kahuhipa i kona poe hipa.
Hear, O nations, the word of the LORD, and proclaim it in distant coastlands: “The One who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them as a shepherd keeps his flock.
11 No ka mea, ua hoolapanai o Iehova ia Iakoba me ka uku hoopakele ia ia, mailoko mai o ka lima i oi aku ka ikaika i kona.
For the LORD has ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the hand that had overpowered him.
12 A e hele mai no lakou a e oli ma kahi kiekie o Ziona, a holo pu no lakou i ka maikai o Iehova, no ka huapalaoa, a no ka waina, a no ka aila, a no na keiki o na hipa, a me na bipi; a e like auanei ko lakou uhane me ka mahinaai i mau; aole loa lakou e kaumaha hou aku.
They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD— the grain, new wine, and oil, and the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden, and never again will they languish.
13 Alaila, e olioli no ka wahine puupaa ma ka haa ana, o na kanaka opiopio a me na elemakule pu; no ka mea, e hoololi au i ko lakou kaumaha ana i olioli, a e hoomaha au ia lakou, a e hoohauoli ia lakou mailoko mai o ko lakou kaumaha.
Then the maidens will rejoice with dancing, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy, and give them comfort and joy for their sorrow.
14 A hoomaona aku au i ka uhane o na kahuna i ka momona, a e maona auanei ko'u poe kanaka i ko'u maikai, wahi a Iehova.
I will fill the souls of the priests abundantly, and will fill My people with My goodness,”
15 Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei; Ua loheia ka leo ma Rama, he pihe, a me ka uwe nui ana; e uwe ana o Rahela no kana mau keiki, a hoole oia, aole e na no kana mau keiki, no ka mea, aole ae nei lakou.
This is what the LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
16 Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei; E uumi oe i kou leo i ka uwe ana, a me kou mau maka i ua waimaka; no ka mea, e ukuia no kau hana. wahi a Iehova; a e hele hou mai no lakou, mai ka aina mai o ka enemi.
This is what the LORD says: “Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for the reward for your work will come, declares the LORD. Then your children will return from the land of the enemy.
17 He lana no ka manao i kou hope, wahi a Iehova, i hele hou mai no na keiki i ko lakou mokuna iho.
So there is hope for your future, declares the LORD, and your children will return to their own land.
18 Oiaio no ua lohe au ia Eperaima e olo pihe ana, Ua paipai mai oe ia'u, a ua paipaiia mai au, e like me ka bipi maa ole. E hoohuli oe ia'u, a e hoohuliia no wau, no ka mea, o oe no o Iehova, ko'u Akua.
I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning: ‘You disciplined me severely, like an untrained calf. Restore me, that I may return, for You are the LORD my God.
19 No ka mea, mahope o ko'u hoohuliia, mihi no wau; a mahope o ko'u aoia mai, hahau no wau i ko'u uha. Hilahila no wau, oia, hoopalaimaka no hoi, no ka mea, kaikai no wau i ka hoowahawaha o ko'u wa opiopio.
After I returned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief. I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 O Eperaima anei ka'u keiki aloha? He keiki anei ia e olioli ai? No ka mea, mai ka wa mai o kau olelo ku e ana ia ia, he oiaio, ke hoomanao mau nei au ia ia: nolaila, e haehae nei ko'u opu nona; he oiaio no e lokomaikai aku no wau ia ia, wahi a Iehova.
Is not Ephraim a precious son to Me, a delightful child? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore My heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him,”
21 E kukulu oe i ahu, a hana hoi i puu kiekie nou; e kau oe i kou naau ma ke kuamoo, ma ke ala au i hele ai. E huli hou oe, e ke kaikamahine puupaa o ka Iseraela, e huli hou oe i keia mau kulanakauhale ou.
“Set up the roadmarks, establish the signposts. Keep the highway in mind, the road you have traveled. Return, O Virgin Israel, return to these cities of yours.
22 Pehea la ka loihi o kou aea ana aku, e ke kaikamahine hoi hope? No ka mea, ua hana o Iehova i ka mea hou ma ka honua, na ka wahine no e hoomalu i ke kane.
How long will you wander, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the land— a woman will shelter a man.”
23 Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela; E olelo hou no lakou i keia mau olelo ma ka aina o ka Iuda, a ma kolaila mau kulanakauhale, i ka wa a'u e hoihoi ai i ko lakou pio ana; Na Iehova e hoopomaikai ia oe, i kahi e noho ai o ka hoopono, ka mauna hoi o ka hemolele.
This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore them from captivity, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the LORD bless you, O righteous dwelling place, O holy mountain.’
24 A e noho pu no maloko olaila, ma ka Iuda hoi, a maloko o kolaila mau kulanakauhale a pau ka poe mahiai, a me ka poe malama hipa.
And Judah and all its cities will dwell together in the land, the farmers and those who move with the flocks,
25 No ka mea, ua hooana aku au i ka uhane i makewai, a ua hoomaona wau i na uhane a pau i niuniu.
for I will refresh the weary soul and replenish all who are weak.”
26 Alaila, ala iho la au, a nana ae la, a ua oluolu ko'u hiamoe ana ia'u.
At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.
27 Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, e lulu iho ai au i ka ohana a Iuda, i ka hua a ke kanaka a me ka hua a ka holoholona.
“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and of beast.
28 A e like no me ka'u i kiai iho ai maluna o lakou, e uhuki ae, a e uhai iho, a e hoohiolo, a e luku, a e hoopilikia; pela no hoi au e kiai ai maluna iho, e kukulu, a e kanu, wahi a Iehova.
Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, destroy, and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the LORD.
29 Ia mau la la, aole lakou e olelo hou ae, Ua ai na makuakane i ka huawaina awahia, a ua oi na niho o na keiki.
“In those days, it will no longer be said: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’
30 Aka, e make auanei kela mea keia mea no kona hewa iho: o kela kanaka keia kanaka e ai ana i ka huawaina awahia, o kona mau niho no ke oi.
Instead, each will die for his own iniquity. If anyone eats the sour grapes, his own teeth will be set on edge.
31 Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, e hana aku ai au i berita hou me ka ohana a Iseraela, a me ka ohana a Iuda:
Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
32 Aole e like ana me ka berita a'u i hana aku ai me ko lakou poe makaukane, i ka la a'u i lalau aku ai ia lakou ma ka lima, e lawe ia lakou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai; o ua berita la a'u ka lakou i uhai ai, ia'u i noho ai he Kane na lakou, wahi a Iehova:
It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt— a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them,”
33 Aka, o keia ka berita a'u e hana'i me ka ohana a Iseraela; Mahope iho o ia mau la, wahi a Iehova, e kau no wau i ko'u kanawai maloko o lakou, a e kakau iho ma ko lakou naau; a owau auanei ko lakou Akua, a o lakou hoi ko'u poe kanaka.
“But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
34 Aole lakou e ao hou aku o kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, a o kela mea keia mea i kona hoahanau, e olelo ana, E ike ia Iehova; no ka mea, e ike auanei lakou a pau ia'u, mai ka mea liilii loa o lakou a hiki i ko lakou mea nui loa, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, e kala aku auanei au i ko lakou hala, aole hoi au e hoomanao hou aku i ko lakou hewa.
No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
35 Penei ka olelo a Iehova, a ka mea haawi mai i ka la i lama no ke ao, a me na kanawai no ka mahina a me na hoku ma ka po, o ka mea hoaleale hoi i ke kai a halulu kona mau ale; o Iehova Sabaota kona inoa.
Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name:
36 Ina e neenee aku keia mau kanawai mai ko'u alo aku, wahi a Iehova, alaila e pau auanei na mamo a Iseraela, aole ia he lahuikanaka imua o'u, a mau loa aku.
“Only if this fixed order departed from My presence, declares the LORD, would Israel’s descendants ever cease to be a nation before Me.”
37 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Ina e hiki ke anaia ka lani iluna, a e huliia hoi na kumu o ka honua ilalo, alaila, e haalele no au i na mamo a pau o ka Iseraela, no na mea a pau a lakou i hana'i, wahi a Iehova.
This is what the LORD says: “Only if the heavens above could be measured and the foundations of the earth below searched out would I reject all of Israel’s descendants because of all they have done,”
38 Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, e kukuluia'i ke kulanakauhale no Iehova, mai ka halekiai o Hananeela a hiki i ka pukapa o ke kihi.
“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when this city will be rebuilt for Me, from the tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
39 A e hele aku ke kaula-ana ma o aku maluna o ka puu Gareba, a e poai mai i Goata.
The measuring line will once again stretch out straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn toward Goah.
40 A o ke awawa a pau o na kupapau, a o ka lehuahi, a o na kula a pau a hiki i kahawai o Kiderona, a hiki i ka puka lio ma ka hikina, e laa ia no Iehova; aole ia e uhuki hou ia, aole hoi e hoohiolo hou ia a mau loa aku.
The whole valley of the dead bodies and ashes, and all the fields as far as the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate to the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will never again be uprooted or demolished.”
