< Ieremia 46 >

1 KA olelo a Iehova i hiki mai io Ieremia la i ke kaula, e ku e i ko na aina;
The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the nations:
2 E ku e ia Aigupita, i ka poe kaua hoi o Parao-neko, ke alii o Aigupita, aia ma ka muliwai o Euperate, ma Karekemisa, ka poe a Nebukaneza i luku ai i ka makahiki aha o Iehoiakima, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda.
Concerning Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh-necho the king of Egypt, which was [posted] by the river Euphrates in Karkemish, which Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah.
3 E hoomakaukau oukou i ka paku a me ka palekaua, a e hookokoke i ke kaua.
Make ye ready shield and buckler, and draw near to the battle.
4 E kahiko i na lio, a e ee ae, e na hololio, a e ku mai me na mahiole; e hookala i na ihe, e komo na paleumaumaunahi.
Harness the horses, and mount, ye horsemen, and stand forth with helmets: sharpen the spears, and put on the coats of mail.
5 No ko aha la wau i ike aku ai ia lakou ua makau a hoi hope? ua hahauia na mea ikaika o lakou, a ua hee loa, aole i nana ihope; puni lakou i ka makau, wahi a Iehova.
Wherefore have I seen them dismayed, moving backward? while their mighty ones are beaten down, and seek safety in flight, and look not back? There is terror round about, saith the Lord.
6 Aole e hiki i ka mea mama e holo, aole hoi e pakele ka poe ikaika; e okupe no lakou a hina ma ke kukulu akau, ma ka muliwai o Euperate.
The swift cannot flee away, nor can the mighty man escape: toward the north by the shore of the river Euphrates do they stumble and fall.
7 Owai keia mea e hele mai nei, me he wai pii la, a kupikipikio na wai, e like me ka wai kahe la?
Who is this that cometh up like a stream, whose waters are upheaved like the rivers?
8 Ke pii nei o Aigupita, me he wai pii la, a ua kupikipikio kona mau wai me he wai kahe la; a olelo no hoi oia, E pii aku no wau, e uhi no wau i ka honua; e luku no wau i ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe e noho ana ilaila.
Egypt cometh up like a stream, and like the rivers are the waters upheaved; and he saith, I will go up, I will cover the land; I will destroy the city and those that dwell therein.
9 E pii mai, e na lio, e holo ikaika hoi, e na kaakaua; e hele mai na kanaka ikaika, o ko Aitiopa, a me ko Libua, ka poe lawelawe i ka palekaua, a me ka Ludia, o ka poe i lawelawe, a lena ke kakaka.
Come up, ye horses; and rush along wildly, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth: Cush and Put, that grasp the shield, and the Ludim, that grasp and bend the bow.
10 Oia no ka la o ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua, ka la o ka hoopai ana, e hoopai ai i kona poe enemi nona; e ai no ka pahikaua, a e maona no, a e ona no hoi i ko lakou koko; no ka mea, he mohai ko ka Haku, ko Iehova o na kaua ma ka aina o ke kukuluakau, ma ka muliwai o Euperate.
And this same day is for the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, a day of vengeance, to be avenged on his adversaries; that the sword may devour, and may be satiated and made drunken with their blood; for there is a sacrifice for the Lord the Eternal of hosts in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 E pii aku oe i Gileada, a e lawe mai oe i nini, e ka wahine puupaa, ke kaikamahine o Aigupita; he make hewa nae kou lawe ana i ka laaulapaau a nui, no ka mea, aole loaa ia oe ke ola.
Go up into Gil'ad, and fetch balm, O virgin, daughter of Egypt: in vain usest thou many remedies; there is no recovery for thee.
12 Ua lohe ko na aina i kou hilahila, a ua hoopiha kou uwe ana i ka aina; no ka mea, ua okupe kekahi kanaka ikaika i kekahi kanaka ikaika, a ua hina pu laua.
Nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry of anguish hath filled the earth; for the mighty man over the mighty have they stumbled, together are both of them fallen.
13 Ka olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, no ka hele ana mai o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, e anai i ka aina o Aigupita.
The word which the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, concerning the coming of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, to smite the land of Egypt.
14 E hai aku oukou ma Aigupita, e kala aku hoi ma Migedola, e kala aku ma Nopa, a ma Tapehanesa; e i aku, E kupaa, a e hoomakaukau ia oe; no ka mea, e ai no ka pahikaua a puni oe.
Announce ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Thachpanches: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thyself; for the sword devoureth round about thee.
15 No ke aha la i hoohinaia'i kou poe koa, aole lakou i kupaa, no ka mea, hooauhee o Iehova ia lakou.
Why are thy valiant men swept away? not one hath stood, because the Lord did drive him off.
16 Nana no i hoohina i na mea he nui loa; oia, hina no kekahi maluna o kekahi; olelo no nae lakou, E ku kakou iluna, e hoi hou kakou i ko kakou kanaka iho, a i ko kakou aina i hanau ai, mai ke alo aku o ka pahikaua luku.
He caused many to stumble; yea, one also fell over the other; and they said, Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from before the wasting sword.
17 Uwe no lakou malaila, he walaau wale o Parao, ke alii o Aigupita, ua hala kona manawa pono.
They called out there, Pharaoh is king of Egypt, it was but vaunting, he hath let the time appointed pass by.
18 Me au e ola nei, wahi a ke Alii, nona ka inoa, o Iehova o na kaua, Oiaio, me Tabora iwaena o na mauna, a me Karemela ma kahakai, e hele mai no ia.
As I live, saith the King, the Lord of hosts is his name, Surely as Thabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel is by the sea, so shall he come.
19 E ke kaikamahine e noho la ma Aigupita, e hoomakaukau oe i kahiko no kou hele pio ana; no ka mea, e olohelohe auanei, a e mehameha hoi o Nopa, aohe mea noho malaila.
Appurtenances of exile make for thyself, O thou inhabitress, daughter of Egypt; for Noph shall be made a waste and be left desolate without an inhabitant.
20 He keiki bipi wahine maikai o Aigupita, ke hele mai nei kona make, mai ka akau mai ka hele ana.
O fairest heifer, Egypt! the butcher from the north cometh, he cometh.
21 O kona poe paaua iwaenakonu ona, ua like me na keikibipi kupaluia; no ka mea, ua hee lakou, ua auhee pu aku no; aole lakou i ku paa, no ka mea, ua hiki mai ka la o ko lakou poino maluna o lakou, o ka manawa hoi o ko lakou hoopaiia.
Also her hired troops in the midst of her are like fatted calves; for they also are turned round, are fled away together, they do not stand; because the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their punishment.
22 E loheia ka leo ona me ko ka nahesa la; no ka mea, e hele mai no lakou me ka poe kaua, a e hele ku e ia ia me na lipi, e like me ka poe kualaau.
Her cry shall come like [the hissing of] a serpent; for with an army shall they march, and with axes do they come against her, like hewers of wood.
23 E kua lakou i kona ululaau ilalo, wahi a Iehova, ina no e hiki ole ke nana ia ia a pau; no ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou lehulehu i ko na uhini, hiki ole ke heluia aku.
They cut down her forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched out; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and there is no number to them.
24 E hoohilahilaia ke kaikamahine o Aigupita; e haawiia oia iloko o ka lima o na kanaka o ke kukuluakau.
Ashamed hath been made the daughter of Egypt: she hath been given up into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Ke i mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, penei; Aia hoi, e hoopai no wau ia Amona o No, a me Parao, a me Aigupita, a me ko lakou poe Akua, a me ko lakou poe alii, ia Parao no, a me ka poe a pau e hilinai ia ia.
The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, hath said, Behold, I will send visitation on Ahmon of No, and on Pharaoh, and on Egypt, and on her gods, and on her kings; even on Pharaoh, and on those that trust on him;
26 A e haawi no wau ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ka poe imi i ko lakou ola, a iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, a iloko o ka lima o kana poe kauwa. A mahope iho e nohoia no ia e like me ka wa kahiko, wahi a Iehova.
And I will give them up into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward shall she be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the Lord.
27 Mai makau oe. e ka'u kauwa, e Iakoba, mai weliweli hoi, e ka Iseraela; no ka mea, aia hoi, e hoola no wau ia oe, mai kahi loihi mai, a me kau poe mamo hoi, mai ka aina mai o ko lakou noho pio ana; a e hoi no ka Iakoba, a e noho hoomaha, a e oluolu no, aohe mea nana e hoomakau ia ia.
But thou, —fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel; for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and Jacob shall return, and he shall be at rest and at ease, with none to make him afraid.
28 Mai makau oe, e Iakoba, e ka'u kauwa, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, owau pu me oe; no ka mea, e hoopau ana au i ko na aina a pau, kahi a'u i kipaku ai ia oe: aka, aole au e hoopau ia oe, e hoouku pono aku no nae wau ia oe, aole au e hooki loa aku ia oe.
Thou, —fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord; for I am with thee: and although I make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, yet of thee will I not make a full end; and I will correct thee in measure; yet wholly will I not leave thee unpunished.
