< Ieremia 46 >

1 KA olelo a Iehova i hiki mai io Ieremia la i ke kaula, e ku e i ko na aina;
That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning 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.
For Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that hath been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
3 E hoomakaukau oukou i ka paku a me ka palekaua, a e hookokoke i ke kaua.
'Set ye in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to 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.
Gird the horses, and go up, ye horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, 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 — They are turned backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round about — an affirmation of Jehovah.
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 do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the river Phrat, They have stumbled and fallen.
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? as a flood he cometh up, As rivers do his waters shake themselves!
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, as a flood cometh up, And as rivers the waters shake themselves. And he saith, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
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.
Go up, ye horses; and boast yourselves, ye chariots, And go forth, ye mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling — treading 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 that day [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword hath devoured, and been satisfied, And it hath been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the river Phrat.
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 to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, In vain thou hast multiplied medicines, Healing there is none 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 hath filled the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, Together they have fallen — both of them!'
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 that Jehovah hath spoken unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadrezzar 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.
'Declare ye in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes say: Station thyself, yea, prepare for thee, For a sword hath devoured around thee,
15 No ke aha la i hoohinaia'i kou poe koa, aole lakou i kupaa, no ka mea, hooauhee o Iehova ia lakou.
Wherefore hath thy bull been swept away? He hath not stood, because Jehovah thrust him away.
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 hath multiplied the stumbling, Yea one hath fallen upon his neighbour, And they say: Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of the oppressing sword.
17 Uwe no lakou malaila, he walaau wale o Parao, ke alii o Aigupita, ua hala kona manawa pono.
They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, Passed by hath the appointed time.
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.
I live — an affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea — he cometh in,
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.
Goods for removal make for thee, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becometh a desolation, And hath been burnt up, without inhabitant.
20 He keiki bipi wahine maikai o Aigupita, ke hele mai nei kona make, mai ka akau mai ka hele ana.
A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north doth come into her.
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.
Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity hath come on them, The time of their inspection.
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.
Its voice as a serpent goeth on, For with a force they go, And with axes they have come in to her, As hewers of trees.
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 have cut down her forest, An affirmation of Jehovah — for it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
24 E hoohilahilaia ke kaikamahine o Aigupita; e haawiia oia iloko o ka lima o na kanaka o ke kukuluakau.
Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath been given 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.
Said hath Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting in 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 have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterwards it is inhabited, As [in] days of old — an affirmation of Jehovah.
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.
And thou, thou dost not fear, my servant Jacob, Nor [art] thou dismayed, O Israel, For lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back, And hath been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
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, thou dost not fear, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah — for with thee I [am], For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have driven thee, And of thee I do not make an end, And I have reproved thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee!'
