Ieremia 48
1 MA ke ku e ia Moaba, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, penei; Auwe oe, e Nebo! no ka mea, ua anaiia oia; ua hoohilahilaia o Kiriataima, a ua pio hoi; ua hoohilahilaia o Misegaba, a ua makau.
This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said: “Terrible things will happen to Nebo [town]; it will [soon] be ruined. Kiriathaim [city] will be captured and [all its people will be] humiliated; the high wall around their city will be ruined, and [its people] will become ashamed.
2 Aole e hookiekie hou ia o Moaba ma Hesebona; na noonoo hewa lakou ia ia; e hele mai. e hooki kakou i kona aupuni ana. E okiia no hoi oe, e Mademena, e hahai no ka pahikaua ia oe.
No one will boast about Moab again; the [enemies of Moab] will plan to destroy [the capital city, ] Heshbon. [They will say, ] ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’ You people in Madmen [town], you also will be silenced; enemy armies [MTY] will pursue you.
3 He leo no ka uwe ana, mai Horonaima mai, he anaiia, a me ka hiolo nui ana.
Listen to the people of Horonaim [town] screaming; [they will be wailing because their town will have been] devastated and destroyed [DOU].
4 Ua anaiia o Moaba; ua uwe na kamalii uuku a loheia.
[All of] Moab will be ruined; [even] the little children will cry [loudly].
5 I ka pii ana o Luhita, e pii mai no ka uwe nui ana, a i ka iho ana o Horonaima, ua lohe no na enemi i ka uwe ana o ka make.
They will cry bitterly as they climb up Luhith [Hill]. [Others will wail] on the road down to Horonaim, being very sad because of [their town being] destroyed.
6 E pee, e malama i ko oukou ola, i like auanei oe me ka mea noho wale o ka waonahele.
[Someone will say to them], ‘Flee! Hide in the desert!’
7 No ka mea, ua hilinai oe i kau mau hana, a i kou waiwai, e pio auanei oe; a e hele aku ko Kemosa iloko o ke pio ana, me ko lakou poe kahuna, a me ko lakou poe alii.
But you trusted that because you were rich and powerful, [you would be safe]; so you will be captured. [The statue of your god] Chemosh and all his priests and officials will be taken away to distant lands.
8 E hele mai no ka mea anai, maluna o na kulanakauhale a pau, aole pakele kekahi kulanakauhale; e make pu no ke awawa, e lukuia hoi ka papu, o like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai.
All the towns [in Moab] will be destroyed; none of them will escape. [Towns in] the valleys and on the plateau will [all] be destroyed, because [I, ] Yahweh, have said that is what will happen.
9 E haawi i eheu no Moaba, i pee aku oia a pakele; no ka mea, e oki loa auanei kona mau kulanakauhale, aohe mea nana e noho maloko.
Spread salt on the ground in order that it will become a wasteland with [nothing growing there any more], and no one will be living in it!”
10 E poino auanei ka mea hana molowa i ka hana o Iehova: e poino no hoi ka mea keakea i kona pahikaua i ke koko.
Yahweh will curse anyone who will not eagerly do what he desires, anyone who refrains from using his sword to kill [MTY] others [in Moab].
11 Ua moe malie o Moaba, mai kona wa opiopio mai, ua laua malie no maluna o kona maku, aole i ukuhiia, mai kekahi hue a i kekahi hue, aole hoi ia i hele iloko o ke pio ana, nolaila i koe mai ia ia kona ono, aole hoi i hoopauia kona ala.
[The people of] Moab have always felt secure; they have never been (exiled/forced [by their enemies] to go to other countries). They are like [MET] wine that has been left undisturbed [in a container for many days to give it good flavor], so now it smells good, and it tastes good.
12 Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la, wahi a Iehova, e hoouna aku ai au io na la i mau mea hoohio, e hoohio ia ia, a e ninini i ko kona mau hue, a o wawahi i ko lakou mau huewai.
But Yahweh says that there will be a time when he will send [enemies to attack them]; they will get rid of the people of Moab like people pour out wine [on the ground] and then smash the wine jar.
13 A e hilahila auanei o Moaba ia Kemosa, e like me ka Iseraela i hilahila ia Betela, i ko lakou mea i hilinai ai.
Then [the people of] Moab will be ashamed of [their god/idol] Chemosh [because it did not help them], like the Israeli people were ashamed because their gold statue of a calf [was smashed] at Bethel.
14 Pehea ka oukou olelo ana, He poe kanaka ikaika makou, a koa i ke kaua?
[The soldiers of Moab previously] said, “We are warriors; we have fought bravely in battles!”
15 Ua anaiia o Moaba, a ua pii aku, mai kona kulanakauhale aku, a o kona poe opiopio i waeia, ua iho aku lakou ilalo i ka make, wahi a ke Alii, o Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
But now our King, who is Yahweh, who is called ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, says that [the country of] Moab and all the towns in it will be destroyed. Their fine young men will [all] be slaughtered.
16 Ua kokoke no ka poino o Moaba e hiki mai, Ke wikiwiki mai nei kona pilikia.
Moab will very soon be destroyed. It will soon experience disaster.
17 E uwe oukou ia ia, e ka poe a pau e hoopuni ana ia ia; E olelo oukou, e ka poe a pau i ike i kona inoa, Nani ka uhai ana o ke kookoo ikaika, a me ka laau maikai!
You [people who live in nations] near Moab, who know that it is very famous, should mourn for Moab, and say, “Its glorious power [MTY, DOU] is [completely] ended/broken.”
18 E ke kaikamahine e noho la ma Dibona, E iho mai oe, mai kou nani mai, E noho hoi maloko o ka makewai; No ka mea, e pii mai no ka mea anai ia Moaba maluna ou, E hoohiolo hoi i kou mau pakaua.
You people of Dibon [city], stop being proud because of being honored, and sit in the dust/dirt, because those who will destroy other places in Moab will attack your [city] and destroy your high walls.
19 E ka wahine e noho la ma Aroera, E ku ma ke alanui, a e nana; E ninau aku i ka mea e hee ana, A i ka wahine hoi i pakele, E i aku, Heaha ka mea i hanaia?
You people of Aroer [town], stand along the road and watch. Shout to the men and women who will be fleeing [from Moab], “What has happened [there]?”
20 Ua hoohilahilaia o Moaba, No ka mea, ua hooauhee loa ia: E aoa, a e uwe aku no hoi, E hai aku ma Arenona, ua anaiia o Moaba,
[They will reply], “Moab is ruined and [we are] disgraced!” [So] weep and wail [DOU]. Proclaim at the Aroer [River] that Moab has been destroyed.
21 Ua hiki mai ka hoopai ana maluna o ka aina papu, Maluna o Holona, a maluna o Iaheza, a maluna hoi o Mepaata,
[Yahweh] will have punished [the towns in Moab that are on] the (plateau/high level): Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
22 A maluna o Dibona, a maluna o Nebo, a maluna hoi o Beta-Dibelataima,
Dibon and Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim,
23 A maluna o Kiriataima, a maluna o Beta-Gamula, a maluna o Beta-Meona,
Kiriathaim and Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon,
24 A maluna o Keriota, a maluna o Bozera, A maluna hoi o na kulanakauhale a pau o ka aina o Moaba, Ma kahi loihi aku, a kokoke mai hoi.
Kerioth and Bozrah, cities that are near [each other] and towns that are far away [from each other].
25 Ua hookiia ka pepeiaohao o Moaba, Ua hai hoi kona lima, wahi a Iehova.
Yahweh says, “The power [MTY] of Moab will be ended; [it is as though] [MET] Moab will have a broken arm.
26 E hoohainu oukou ia ia a ona, No ka mea, ua hookiekie oia imua o Iehova; E haluku hoi o Moaba maloko o kona luai, A e lilo oia i mea e heneheneia'i.
[You people of] Moab have rebelled against [me, ] Yahweh; so [now] I will cause you all to [stagger like] [SIM] drunken people. [You people of] will wallow in your own vomit and be ridiculed.
27 Aole anei o ka Iseraela he mea henehene nou? Ua loaa anei oia iwaena o ka poe aihue? No ka mea, mai ka wa mai o kau olelo ana nona, Ua luliluli oe i ke poo.
You [people of Moab] ridiculed [the people of] Israel [RHQ]. You treated them as though they were thieves [RHQ]. You shook your head at them scornfully and despised them [RHQ].
28 E ka poe e noho la ma Moaba, E haalele oukou i na kulanakauhale, E noho hoi oukou ma kahi pohaku, E like hoi oukou me ka manu nunu I hana i kana punana ma na aoao o ka waha o ka lua.
You people who live in Moab, you should abandon your towns and go and live in caves. Be like [SIM] doves that make their nests in the entrances of caves.”
29 Ua lohe no makou i ka hookiekie loa ana o Moaba, (Ua hookano loa oia, ) I kona maoi, a me ka haanui ana, I kona hoohaha, a me ke kiekie o kona naau.
We have [all] heard that [the people of] are very proud; they are extremely proud and conceited/arrogant. [IDM, DOU]
30 Ua ike no wau i kona huhu, wahi a Iehova, A me kona kaena wale ana; Aole e hiki ke hooko ia mea.
But Yahweh says, “I know about that, but it is useless for them to boast [because] it will accomplish nothing.
31 Nolaila, e aoa no wau no Moaba, A e hooho no wau no Moaba a pau; E kanikau no hoi i na kanaka o Kireheresa.
So [now] I will wail for Moab; I will cry about all its people. I will moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth [city], [the old capital of Moab].
32 Me ke uwe ana o Iazera, e uwe aku au ia oe, e ke kumu waina o Sibema. Ua hala'e la kou mau lala, a kela aoao o ka moana, Ua hiki aku i ka moana o Iazera. O ka mea nana e hao, ua haule mai ia maluna o kau hua o ke kau, A maluna hoi o kou pawaina.
You people of Sibmah [city], you have many vineyards. [It is as though] the branches of your vines extend across the [Dead] Sea to Jazer [city].
33 Ua laweia ka olioli, a me ka hauoli, mai ka mahinaai aku, A mai ka aina o Moaba aku hoi. Ua hooki au i ka waina o na luakaomi waina; Aohe mea nana e hahi me ka hooho, E lilo ko lakou hooho i hooho ole.
But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the (summer/hot season) will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, [so] there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.
34 Ua hookiekie lakou i ko lakou leo iluna, Mai ka uwe ana o Hesebona, a hiki i Eleale, a i Iahaza hoi, A mai Zoara aku a hiki i Horonaima, Me he keiki bipi wahine la, ekolu ona makahiki; No ka mea, e pau auanei na wai o Nimerima.
Instead, the sound of their wailing will rise from Heshbon [city] to Elealeh [town] and Jahaz [village], from Zoar [city] as far as Horonaim [town] and Eglath-Shelishiyah [village]. Even the water in Nimrim [Stream] will be dried up.
35 Maloko o Moaba, wahi a Iehova, E hooki aku au i ka mea e mohai ana ma na wahi kiekie, A me ka mea kuni i ka mea ala no kona poe akua.
[I, ] Yahweh, say that I will get rid of the people who offer sacrifices on the hilltops, and burn incense to their gods.
36 Nolaila, e kani no ko'u naau me he ohe kani la no Moaba, A me he ohe kani la e kani ai ko'u naau no na kanaka o Kireheresa; No ka mea, ua lilo ka waiwai ana i loaa'i.
I [SYN] moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth like [SIM] [someone playing a funeral song on] a flute, because [all] their wealth will disappear.
37 E ohule auanei kela poo, keia poo, E kahiia na umiumi a pau, E okiokiia auanei na lima a pau, A e humeia na puhaka i ka lole inoino.
The men will shave their heads and their beards [to show that they are mourning]. They all will slash their hands and wear (rough cloth/sackcloth) around their waists.
38 He uwe nui ana maluna o na hale a pau o Moaba, A ma kona mau alanui no hoi; No ka mea, ua wawahi au ia Moaba, wahi a Iehova, Me he ipu la i makemake ole ia.
In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be [people who are] mourning, because I will have destroyed Moab like [SIM] someone smashes an [old] jar that no one wants [any more].
39 E uwe aku lakou penei, Nani kona oki loa i ka makau! Nani ko Moaba huli hope ana i ka hilahila! E lilo no o Moaba i mea e akaakaia'i, I mea hoi e makau ai ka poe a pau a puni ona.
Moab will be completely shattered! And you will hear the people wailing loudly! They will be disgraced. Moab will become a nation that people ridicule. The people in nearby [countries] will be horrified [about what has happened there].
40 No ka mea, ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, e lele no oia, me he aito la, A e hohola aku i kona mau eheu maluna o Moaba.
This is what [I, ] Yahweh, say: ‘Look! Their enemies will be swooping/rushing down over Moab like an eagle [SIM] swoops down [to seize an animal].
41 Ua hoopioia o Keriota, ua hoopioia no na pakaua, A i kela la, e like auanei na naau o na kanaka ikaika o Moaba, Me ka naau o ka wahine nahukuakoko.
Its cities will be captured, its fortresses will be seized. [Even] their warriors will be [afraid], like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.
42 E anaiia auanei o Moaba a lilo i aupuni ole, No ka mea, ua hookiekie oia imua o Iehova.
[The leaders of] Moab boasted against [me, ] Yahweh, so Moab will be destroyed.
43 E loohia auanei oe i ka makau, a me ka lua, a me ka pahele, E ka mea noho ma Moaba, wahi a Iehova.
[I, ] Yahweh, say that you people of Moab will be terrified, and fall into pits and traps.
44 O ka mea holo, mai ka makau aku, E haule no ia ilko o ka lua; A o ka mea pii, mai ka lua mai, E pau auanei ia i ka pahele: No ka mea, e lawe mai no wau maluna ona, maluna hoi o Moaba, I ka makahiki o ka hoopai ana, wahi a Iehova.
Those who are terrified and try to run away will fall into deep pits. Whoever climbs out of a pit will be caught in a trap, because I will punish them at the time that I have chosen.’
45 Ku no ka poe i hee ma ka malu o Hesebona no ka ikaika ole; E puka mai no nae ke ahi mai Hesebona mai, O ka lapalapa ahi hoi maloko mai i Sihona, E hoopau no ia i ka mokuna o Moaba, A me ka piko poo o na kanaka hoohaunaele.
The people will flee as far as Heshbon [city], but they will not be able to go any further, because a fire will burn in Heshbon, [which is the city] where [King] Sihon lived [long ago], and it will burn up all the people [SYN] in Moab who noisily/loudly boasted very much.
46 Auwe oe, e Moaba! ua make na kanaka o Kemosa: No ka mea, ua laweia kau mau keikikane, i pio kane, A me kau mau kaikamahine hoi, i pio wahine.
[You people of] Moab, terrible things will happen to you! You people who worship [your god] Chemosh, you will be destroyed. Your sons and your daughters will be captured and taken away [to other countries].
47 Aka, e hoihoi no wau i ke pio ana o Moaba, Ke hiki i na la mahope, wahi a Iehova. Oia no ka hoopaiia'na o Moaba.
But some day, I will enable the people of Moab to return to their land again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.” That is the end of what I prophesied about Moab.
