Ieremia 4
1 I NA e hoi mai oe ia'u, e ka Iseraela, wahi a Iehova, e hoi mai no; a ina e hoolei oe i kou mau mea e hoopailua ai, mai ko'u alo aku, alaila aole oe e aea.
If Israel will return to me, says the Lord, he shall return: and if he will remove his abominations out of his mouth, and fear before me, and swear,
2 A e hoohiki no oe, ke ola la no o Iehova ma ka oiaio, a ma ka pono, a ma ka maikai; a e hoopomaikai ko na aina ia lakou iho ma ona la, a ma ona la lakou e kaena'i.
The Lord lives, with truth, in judgment and righteousness, then shall nations bless by him, and by him they shall praise God in Jerusalem.
3 No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova i na kanaka o ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema, E waele oukou i ko oukou mahinaai, mai kanu oukou iwaena o na kakalaioa.
For thus says the Lord to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Break up fresh ground for yourselves, and sow not among thorns.
4 E okipoepoe ia oukou iho no Iehova, a e lawe aku oukou i ka omaka o ko oukou naau, e na kanaka o ka Iuda, a me ka poe noho ma Ierusalema, o puka mai ko'u ukiuki e like me ke ahi, a a hoi, aohe mea e hiki ke hoopio, no ka hewa o ka oukou hana ana.
Circumcise yourselves to your God, and circumcise your hardness of heart, you men of Juda, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my wrath go forth as fire, and burn, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your devices.
5 E hai aku oukou maloko o ka Iuda, a o kala aku hoi ma Ierusalema; a e i aku, E puhi oukou i ka pu ma ka aina; e kala aku, e hoonui i ka leo, a e i aku, E hoakoakoa oukou, a e komo aku kakou iloko o na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa.
Declare you in Juda, and let it be heard in Jerusalem: say you, Sound the trumpet in the land; cry you aloud: say you, Gather yourselves together, and let us enter into the fortified cities.
6 E kau i ka hae ma Ziona, e hoikaika aku hoi, mai ku malie; no ka mea, e lawe mai no wau i ka hewa, mai ke kukuluakau mai, a i ka make nui loa hoi.
Gather up [your wares] and flee to Sion: hasten, stay not: for I will bring evils from the north, and great destruction.
7 Ua pii mai ka liona, mai kona ululaau mai; ke hele mai la hoi ka mea luku i na aina; ua puka aku oia, mai kona wahi aku e hoolilo i kou aina i neoneo; a e anaiia kou mau kulanakauhale, aohe mea koe e noho ana.
The lion is gone up from his lair, he has roused [himself] to the destruction of the nations, and has gone forth out of his place, to make the land desolate; and the cities shall be destroyed, so as to be without inhabitant.
8 No keia mea, e komo oukou i ka lole ino e kumakena, a e aoa hoi; no ka mea, aole i huli aku ka ukiuki o ke Akua, mai o kakou aku.
For these things gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament, and howl: for the anger of the Lord is not turned away from you.
9 A hiki aku i kela la, wahi a Iehova, e maule auanei ka naau o ke alii, a me ka naau o na luna; e pilihua hoi na kahuna, a e weliweli na kaula.
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be amazed, and the prophets shall wonder.
10 A i aku la au, Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova! he oiaio, ua alakai hewa loa oe i keia poe kanaka, a me ko Ierusalema, i ka i ana mai, E loaa auanei ia oukou ka malu; aka, ua komo ka pahikaua iloko o ka uhane.
And I said, O sovereign Lord, verily you have deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, There shall be peace; whereas behold, the sword has reached even to their soul.
11 I kela manawa, e oleloia mai a keia poe kanaka, a i ko Ierusalema, He makani wela no na wahi kiekie mai o ka waonahale, ma ke ala o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, aole no ka hoomaikai, a me ka hoomaemae.
At that time they shall say to this people and to Jerusalem, [There is] a spirit of error in the wilderness: the way of the daughter of my people is not to purity, nor to holiness.
12 He makani ikaika ka i hele mai ia'u, mai ia mau wahi mai: ano hoi au e hooponopono ia lakou.
[But] a spirit of full vengeance shall come upon me; and now I declare my judgments against them.
13 Aia hoi, e pii mai no ia e like me na ao, a e like auanei kona mau kaakaua me ka puahiohio; ua oi aku ka mama o kona mau lio mamua o ko na aeto. Auwe kakou, no ka mea, ua anaiia kakou!
Behold, he shall come up as a cloud, and his chariots as a tempest: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are in misery.
14 E Ierusalema e, holoi oe i kou naau, i pau ka hewa, i hoolaia hoi oe. Pohea la ka loihi o ka noho ana o na manao lapuwale iloko ou?
Cleanse your heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem, that you may be saved: how long will your grievous thoughts be within you?
15 No ka mea, ke hai mai nei ka leo, mai Dana mai, a hoolaha mai hoi i ka lohe i ka popilikia, mai ka mauna o Epaeraima mai.
For a voice of one publishing from Dan shall come, and trouble out of mount Ephraim shall be heard of.
16 E hoikeike i ko na aina: aia hoi, e hai aku no Ierusalema, ua hiki mai ka poe kiai, mai ka aina mamao aku mai, a hoonui hoi lakou i ka leo ku e i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda.
Remind you the nations; behold, they are come: proclaim [it] in Jerusalem, that bands are approaching from a land afar off, and have uttered their voice against the cities of Juda.
17 E like me ka poe kiai i ka mahinaai, pela no lakou e ku e nei ia wahi a puni: no ka mea, ua kipi mai oia ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
As keepers of a field, they have surrounded her; because you, says the Lord, has neglected me.
18 Na kou aoao, a me kau hana ana i hookau mai i keia mau mea maluna ou; nou no keia hewa, he walania hoi ia, no ka mea, ua komo loa no iloko o kou naau.
Your ways and your devices have brought these things upon you; this is your wickedness, for [it is] bitter, for it has reached to your heart.
19 O kuu opu, o kuu opu! Ua hookaawiliia au ma kuu naau; ke kani nei ko'u naau iloko o'u. Aole au e noho ekemu ole, no ka mea, ua lohe oe, e kuu uhane, i ke kani ana o ka pu, a me ka hooho o ke kaua.
I am pained in my bowels, my bowels, and the sensitive powers of my heart; my soul is in great commotion, my heart is torn: I will not be silent, for my soul has heard the sound of a trumpet, the cry of war, and of distress: it calls on destruction;
20 Ua heaia ka make maluna o ka make, no ka mea, ua anaiia ka aina a pau. Ua luku hoohikilele ia ko'u mau halelewa, a me ko'u mau paku hoi, ma ka minute.
for all the land is distressed: suddenly [my] tabernacle is distressed, my curtains have been tore asunder.
21 Pehea la ka loihi o ko'u ike ana i ka hae, a lohe hoi i ke kani ana o ka pu?
How long shall I see fugitives, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 No ka mea, ua lapuwale ko'u poe kanaka, aole lakou i ike mai ia'u; he poe kamalii lapuwale, aohe o lakou naauao. He akamai lakou i ka hana hewa; aka, aole o lakou ike i ka hana maikai.
For the princes of my people have not known me, they are foolish and unwise children: they are wise to do evil, but [how] to do good they have not known.
23 Nana ae la au i ka honua, aia hoi, ua neoneo, a olohelohe hoi; i ka lani kekahi, aohe ona malamalama.
I looked upon the earth, and, behold, [it was] not; and to the sky, an there was no light in it.
24 Nana ae la au i na kuahiwi, aia hoi, haalulu lakou, a naka iho la na mauna a pau.
I saw the mountains, and they trembled, and [I saw] all the hills in commotion.
25 Nana aku la au, aia hoi, aohe kanaka, a ua hee aku la na manu a pau o ka laui.
I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were scared.
26 Nana aku la au, aia hoi, o kahi i nui ka ai, ua waonahele; a ua hoohioloia kolaila kulanakauhale a pau imua o ke alo o Iehova, imua hoi o koua ukiuki nui.
I saw, and, behold, Carmel was desert, and all the cities were burnt with fire at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of his fierce anger they were utterly destroyed.
27 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E neoneo auanei ka aina a pau; aole nae au e hooki loa i na wahi.
Thus says the Lord, The whole land shall be desolate; but I will not make a full end.
28 No keia mea, e kumakena'i ka honua, a e pouli hoi na lani maluna, no ka mea, ua olelo no wau, ua paa kuu manao, aole hoi au e mihi ana, aole au e huli, mai ia manao aku.
For these things let the earth mourn, and let the sky be dark above: for I have spoken, and I will not repent; I have purposed, and I will not turn back from it.
29 E auhee no ke kulanakauhale a pau, no ka walaau o na hololio, a me na kanaka kakaka. E holo no lakou iloko o ka ululaau, a e pii hoi maluna o na pohaku; e haaleleia no kela kulanakauhale, keia kulanakauhale, aole kanaka e noho ana iloko.
The whole land has recoiled from the noise of the horseman and the bent bow; they have gone into the caves, and have hidden themselves in the groves, and have gone up upon the rocks: every city was abandoned, no man lived in them.
30 A anaiia oe, pehea la oe e hana'i? Ina paha e hoaahu oe ia oe i ka mea ula, a kahiko hoi oe ia oe i na kahiko gula, a ina paha e nahae kou mau maka i ka pena, make hewa no kou hoomaikai ana ia oe; e hoowahawaha mai no kou mau ipo ia oe, e imi no lakou e hoopau i kou ola.
And what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, and adorn yourself with golden ornaments; though you adorn your eyes with stibium, your beauty [will be] in vain: your lovers have rejected you, they seek your life.
31 No ka mea, ua lohe no au i ka leo, e like me ko ka wahine e hanau keiki ana, a i ke kuakoko, e like me ko ka wahine i hanau i kana hiapo, i ka leo hoi o ke kaikamahine o Ziona e kumakena ana ia ia iho, e hohola ana hoi i kona mau lima, me ka olelo iho, Auwe au ano! no ka mea, ua paupauaho kuu uhane no ka poe pepehi kanaka.
For I have heard your groaning as the voice of a woman in travail, as of her that brings forth her first child; the voice of the daughter of Zion shall fail through weakness, and she shall lose the strength of her hands, [saying], Woe is me! for my soul faints because of the slain.
