Ieremia 44

1 O KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la no na Iudaio a pau e noho ana ma ka aina o Aigupita, ka poe hoi e noho ana ma Migedola, a ma Tahepanesa, a ma Nopa, a ma ka aina i Paterosa, i mai la,

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,

2 Ke i mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Ua ike no oukou i ka hewa a pau a'u i lawe mai ai maluna o Ierusalema, a maluna o na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Iuda; a aia hoi lakou i keia la, ua anaiia, aohe kanaka e noho ana maloko,

“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah. Behold, today they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,

3 No ko lakou hewa a lakou i hana'i e hoonaukiuki mai ai ia'u, i ko lakou hele ana e puhi i ka mea ala, a e malama i na'kua e a lakou i ike ole ai, aole lakou, aole oukou, aole hoi ko oukou mau makua.

because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods that they didn’t know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.

4 A hoouna aku no hoi au i ka'u mau kauwa a pau, i na kaula e ala ana i ka wanaao e hoouna, me ka olelo aku, Ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, mai hana i kela mea ino loa, a'u e ukiuki nei.

However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, “Oh, don’t do this abominable thing that I hate.”

5 Aole lakou i hoolohe, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko lakou pepeiao, e huli, mai ko lakou hewa aku, e puhi ole i ka mea ala no na akua e.

But they didn’t listen and didn’t incline their ear. They didn’t turn from their wickedness, to stop burning incense to other gods.

6 Nolaila, i nininiia'i ko'u huhu, a me ko'u ukiuki, a ua hoaaia maloko o na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema, a ua anaiia, a ua olohelohe, me ia i keia la.

Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured out, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is today.’

7 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, No ke aha la oukou e hana nei i keia hewa nui i ko oukou uhane iho, e hooki ae mai o oukou aku, i ke kane a me ka wahine, a me ke kamalii, a me ke keiki ai waiu, mai ka Iuda aku i koe ole kekahi no oukou;

“Therefore now the LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the middle of Judah, to leave yourselves no one remaining,

8 I ko oukou hoonaukiuki ana ia'u, i na hana a ko oukou lima, e puhi ana i ka mea ala no na akua e, ma ka aina o Aigupita, kahi o oukou i hele aku ai e noho, i hooki ae oukou ia oukou iho, i lilo hoi oukou i mea poino, a i mea hoowahawaha, ma na aina a pau o ka honua?

in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to live, that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach amongst all the nations of the earth?

9 Ua poina anei ia oukou ka hewa o ko oukou poe makua, a me ka hewa o na'lii o ka Iuda, a me ka hewa o ka lakou poe wahine, a me ko oukou hewa iho, a me ka hewa o ka oukou poe wahine, a lakou i hana'i ma ka aina o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema?

Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

10 Aole nae lakou i mihi, a hiki i keia la, aole hoi i makau, aole hoi i hele ma ko'u kanawai, aole hoi ma ka'u mau kauoha, a'u i kau ai imua o oukou, a imua hoi o ko oukou mau makua.

They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.’

11 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aia hoi, e kau aku au i ko'u maka ku e ia oukou, no ka hewa, a e hooki ae au i ka Iuda a pau.

“Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.

12 A e lalau aku au i ke koena o ka Iuda, ka poe i huli ko lakou maka e hele i ka aina o Aigupita, e noho malaila, a e hoopauia lakou a pau, a e haule hoi ma ka aina o Aigupita. E hoopauia lakou i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a e make lakou, mai ka mea uuku a ka mea nui, i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi; a e lilo lakou i mea hailiiliia, a i mea e kahaha'i, a i mea poino, a i mea hoowahawaha.

I will take the remnant of Judah that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they will all be consumed. They will fall in the land of Egypt. They will be consumed by the sword and by the famine. They will die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine. They will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach.

13 No ka mea, e hoopai no wau i ka poe e noho la ma ka aina o Aigupita, me ha'u i hoopai ai i ko Ierusalema, i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau.

For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;

14 Aole hoi e pakele a koe kekahi koena o ka Iuda, i hele aku nei i Aigupita e noho malaila, aole hoi hou i ka aina o ka Iuda, kahi i makemake ai ko lakou naau e hoi a noho malaila; aohe mea e hoi, o na mea pakele wale no.

so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will escape or be left to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there; for no one will return except those who will escape.’”

15 Alaila, o na kanaka a pau i ike i ka puhi ana o ka lakou wahine i ka mea ala no na akua e, a me na wahine a pau e ku mai ana, he poe nui, o na kanaka a pau hoi i noho ma ka aina o Aigupita, a ma Paterosa, olelo mai la lakou ia Ieremia, i mai la,

Then all the men who knew that their wives burnt incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

16 O ka olelo au i olelo mai ai ia makou ma ka inoa o Iehova, aole makou e hoolohe aku ia oe.

“As for the word that you have spoken to us in the LORD’s name, we will not listen to you.

17 Aka, oiaio no, o hana makou i na mea a pau i puka aku, mai ko makou waha aku, e puhi i ka mea ala no ke alii wahine o ka lani, a e ninini hoi i na mohai inu ia ia, me makou i hana'i, o makou a me ko makou poe makua, a me ko makou poe alii, a me ko makou poe luna, ma na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema: no ka mea, ia manawa he nui ka makou ai, aole hoi o makou mai, aole makou i ike i ka ino.

But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.

18 Aka, mahope mai o ko makou hooki ana e kuni i ka mea ala no ke alii wahine o ka lani, a e ninini hoi i mohai inu nona, ua nele makou i na mea a pau, a ua oki loa makou i ka pahikaua a me ka wi.

But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.”

19 I ka wa i kuni ai makou i ka mea ala no ke alii wahine o ka lani, a ninini i mohai inu nona, aole anei a makou kane, ia makou i hana'i i papa berena nana, i mea hoomana, a ia makou i ninini ai i mohai inu nona?

The women said, “When we burnt incense to the queen of the sky and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?”

20 Alaila olelo aku la o Ieremia i na kanaka a pau, i na kane a me na wahine, a me na kanaka a pau loa, ka poe i olelo mai ia ia, i aku la ia,

Then Jeremiah said to all the people—to the men and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,

21 O ka mea ala a oukou i kuni ai ma na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema, o oukou, a me ko oukou poe makua, a me ko oukou poe alii, a me ko oukou poe luna, a me na kanaka o ka aina, aole anei i hoomanao o Iehova ia mau mea, aole anei i komo ia iloko o kona manao?

“The incense that you burnt in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn’t the LORD remember them, and didn’t it come into his mind?

22 Aole i hiki ia Iehova ke hoomanawanui hou aku, no ka hewa o ka oukou hana ana, a no na mea hoopailua a oukou i hana'i; nolaila, ua lilo ko oukou aina i olohelohe, i mea e kahaha'i, i wahi poino, me ka mea ole nana e noho, me ia i keia la.

Thus the LORD could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you have committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation, an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is today.

23 No ka mea, ua kuni oukou i ka mea ala, a ua hana hewa oukou ia Iehova, aole hoi i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova, aole hoi i hele mamuli o kona kanawai, aole mamuli o kana mau kauoha, a me kana hoike ana; nolaila i hiki mai ai keia hewa maluna o oukou, me ia i keia la.

Because you have burnt incense and because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is today.”

24 Olelo aku no hoi o Ieremia i na kanaka a pau, a i na wahine a pau, E hoolohe mai oukou i ka leo o Iehova, e ka Iuda a pau ma ka aina o Aigupita.

Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear the LORD’s word, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt!

25 Olelo mai o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, penei; i mai la, Ua olelo no oukou, a me ka oukou wahine, ma ko oukou mau waha, a ua hana hoi ko oukou mau lima, ua i mai oukou, Oiaio no e hooko no makou i ko makou hoohiki ana a makou i hoohiki ai, e kuni i ka mea ala no ke alii wahine o ka lani, a e ninini i mohaiinu nona; e hooko io no oukou i ko oukou hoohiki ana, a e hana io no oukou i na mea a oukou i hoohiki ai.

The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, “We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her.” “‘Establish then your vows, and perform your vows.’

26 No ia mea la, ea, e hoolohe mai oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e ka Iuda, ka poe e noho la ma ka aina o Aigupita; Aia hoi, ua hoohiki no wau ma ko'u inoa nui, wahi a Iehova, aole e hea hou ia ko'u inoa, ma ka waha o kekahi kanaka o ka Iuda, ma ka aina o Aigupita, i ka i ana ae, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ke Akua.

“Therefore hear the LORD’s word, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: ‘Behold, I have sworn by my great name,’ says the LORD, ‘that my name will no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “As the Lord GOD lives.”

27 Aia hoi, e kiai no wau ia lakou, no ka hewa, aole no ka maikai; a e hoopauia na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda, ka poe noho ma ka aina o Aigupita, i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a pau wale lakou.

Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until they are all gone.

28 E hoi nae kekahi poe uuku, mai ka aina o Aigupita ae a i ka aina o ka Iuda, o ka poe hoi i pakele i ka pahikaua; aka, o ke koena o ka Iuda a pau i hele i ka aina o Aigupita e noho malaila, e ike auanei lakou i ka olelo kupaa, o ka'u paha, o ka lakou paha.

Those who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah few in number. All the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will know whose word will stand, mine or theirs.

29 A o keia hoi ka hoailona no oukou, wahi a Iehova, e hoopai aku au ia oukou ma keia wahi, i ike auanei i ka oiaio o ke kupaa ana o ka'u olelo ku e ia oukou;

“‘This will be the sign to you,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for evil.’

30 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei; Aia hoi, e haawi aku no wau ia Parao-hopera, ke alii o Aigupita, iloko o ka lima o kona poe enemi, a iloko o ka lima o ka poe imi i kona ola, me ka'u i haawi ai ia Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, i kona enemi, i ka mea hoi nana i imi i kona ola.

The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.’”
