< Ieremia 49 >

1 NO na keiki a Amona, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aole anei a Iseraela na keiki? Aohe anei ona hooilina? No ke aha la hoi i noho ai o Malekama ma ko Gada? A noho hoi kona poe kanaka ma kona mau kulanakauhale?
Concerning the Ammonites, this is what the LORD says: “Has Israel no sons? Is he without heir? Why then has Milcom taken possession of Gad? Why have his people settled in their cities?
2 Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la, wahi a Iehova, Na'u no e hana aku, a e loheia ka hooho kaua ma Raba o ka Amona; A e lilo ia i puu neoneo, A e puhiia kana mau kaikamahine i ke ahi. Alaila, e lilo o Iseraela i hooilina no ka poe i noho hooilina nona, wahi a Iehova.
Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites. It will become a heap of ruins, and its villages will be burned. Then Israel will drive out their dispossessors, says the LORD.
3 E aoa, e Hesebona, no ka mea, ua anaiia o Ai; E uwe aku, e na kaikamahine o Raba, E kaei oukou ia oukou iho i ke kapa inoino; E kumakena hoi, a e holoholo ma na pa; No ka mea, e hele o Malekama iloko o ke pio ana, O kona poe kahuna a me kana mau alii.
Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai has been destroyed; cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth and mourn; run back and forth within your walls, for Milcom will go into exile together with his priests and officials.
4 No ke aha la oe e hookiekie ai ma kou mau awawa? A ma kou awawa e kahe ana, e ke kaikamahine hoihope? Ka mea hilinai ma kou mau waiwai, i ka i ana iho, Owai ka mea hele mai io'u nei?
Why do you boast of your valleys— your valleys so fruitful, O faithless daughter? You trust in your riches and say, ‘Who can come against me?’
5 Aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau i ka makau maluna ou, Wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, Mai ka poe a pau e noho puni ana ia oe; A e kipakuia oukou, kela kanaka, keia kanaka mai kona maka aku. Aohe mea nana e hoihoi mai i ka mea hele hewa.
Behold, I am about to bring terror upon you, declares the Lord GOD of Hosts, from all those around you. You will each be driven headlong, with no one to regather the fugitives.
6 A mahope iho, e hoihoi no wau i ke pio ana o na keiki a Amona, wahi a Iehova.
Yet afterward I will restore the Ammonites from captivity,” declares the LORD.
7 No Edoma, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei; Aole anei he akamai i koe ma Temana? Ua oki anei ke ao ana o ka poe ike? Ua hanini anei ko lakou akamai?
Concerning Edom, this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?
8 E hee oukou, e huli, e hana i ko oukou noho ana a hohonu, e ka poe noho ma Dedana; No ka mea, e lawe mai no wau i ka poino o Esau maluna ona, I ka manawa a'u e hoopai ai ia ia.
Turn and run! Lie low, O dwellers of Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish him.
9 Ina hele mai iou la ka poe hoiliili huawaina, Aole anei lakou e hookoe i kekahi koena hua? Ina he poe aihue i ka po, Hao iho no lakou, a pau ko lakou makemake.
If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings? Were thieves to come in the night, would they not steal only what they wanted?
10 Ua hookohana no wau ia Esau, Ua wehe aku no wau i kona mau wahi huna, Aole hiki ia ia ke pee; Ua oki loa kona hua, a me kona poe hoahanau, O kona poe hoalauna hoi, a oia hoi, aole.
But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding places, and he will be unable to conceal himself. His descendants will be destroyed along with his relatives and neighbors, and he will be no more.
11 E waiho mai i ka oukou keiki makua ole ia'u, Na'u no lakou e hoola: E hilinai hoi ia'u kou poe wahinekanemake.
Abandon your orphans; I will preserve their lives. Let your widows trust in Me.”
12 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, o ka poe hoohewa ole ia e inu i ke kiaha, Ua inu loa no lakou: O oe anei ka mea e pakele loa ana? Aole oe e pakele, e inu loa no oe.
For this is what the LORD says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for you must drink it too.
13 No ka mea, ua hoohiki no wau ia'u iho, wahi a Iehova, E lilo auanei o Bozera i waonahele, i mea e hoowahawahaia'i, I waoakua hoi, i mea e hoinoia'i, A e lilo no kona mau kulanakauhale i mau waoakua mau loa.
For by Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that Bozrah will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will be in ruins forever.”
14 Ua lohe no wau i ka lono, mai Iehova mai, Ua hoounaia'ku hoi ka elele i ko na aina e, E akoakoa mai oukou, E hele mai e ku e ia ia, e ku mai hoi e kaua.
I have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent to the nations: “Assemble yourselves to march against her! Rise up for battle!”
15 No ka mea, aia hoi, e hoolilo no wau ia oe i mea uuku iwaena o na aina, A e hoowahawahaia no oe e na kanaka.
“For behold, I will make you small among nations, despised among men.
16 O kou mea makau ia oe a me ka hookiekie o kou naau, Ka mea i hoopunipuniia'i oe, e ka mea e noho la ma na ana pohaku, Ka mea hoi nona na wahi kiekie o ka pali: Ina paha e hana oe i kou wahi punana Ma kahi i like ke kiekie me ko ka aeto, Malaila mai no wau e hoohiolo ai ia oe, wahi a Iehova.
The terror you cause and the pride of your heart have deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks, O occupiers of the mountain summit. Though you elevate your nest like the eagle, even from there I will bring you down,”
17 E lilo no hoi o Edoma i waonahele; A e kahaha auanei ka poe a pau e hele ae ma ia wahi, E hoowahawaha hoi no kona mau ino a pau.
“Edom will become an object of horror. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff at all her wounds.
18 E like me ka hiolo ana o Sodoma, a me Gomora, A me na wahi e pili ana ilaila, wahi a Iehova, Aohe kanaka e noho malaila, Aole hoi e hoomoana na keiki a kanaka ma ia wahi.
As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their neighbors,” says the LORD, “no one will dwell there; no man will abide there.
19 Aia hoi, e pii mai no oia, e like me ka liona mai ka nani o Ioredane mai, E ku e i ka noho ana o ka mea ikaika; Aka i ke amo ana o ka maka, e holo aku no oia, mailaila aku. Owai ka'u mea i waeia, e hoonoho no wau ia ia maluna ona? Owai ka mea like me au nei? Owai hoi ka mea e halawai me au? A owai ke kahuhipa e hiki ia ia ke ku imua o'u?
Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture. For in an instant I will chase Edom from her land. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me? What shepherd can stand against Me?”
20 No ia mea, e hoolohe oukou i ka manao o Iehova, Ana i manao ai ia Edoma: A me kona noonoo ana i noonoo ku e i na kanaka o Temana. Oiaio no, e uhuki oia ia lakou me na mea liilii o ka ohana; Oiaio no, hooneoneo oia i ko lakou wahi noho a puni lakou.
Therefore hear the plans that the LORD has drawn up against Edom and the strategies He has devised against the people of Teman: Surely the little ones of the flock will be dragged away; certainly their pasture will be made desolate because of them.
21 I ka halulu o kona haule ana, naueue no ka honua; Ma ke Kaiula, lohea no ka leo o kona uwe ana.
At the sound of their fall the earth will quake; their cry will resound to the Red Sea.
22 Aia hoi, e pii mai no oia, a e lele hoi e like me ka aeto, A e hohola aku i kona mau eheu maluna o Bozera; A i kela la, e like auanei ka naau o ka poe ikaika o Edoma Me ka naau o ka wahine i kona nahukuakoko ana.
Look! An eagle will soar and swoop down, spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom’s mighty men will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
23 No Damaseko. Ua hoohilahilaia o Hamata, a me Arepada hoi, No ka mea, ua lohe lakou i ka lono poino. Ua maule lakou, he weliweli ma ka moana; Aole hiki ia ia ke hoomalielie.
Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, for they have heard a bad report; they are agitated like the sea; their anxiety cannot be calmed.
24 Ua emi iho o Damaseko, ua huli oia e hee, Ua loohia oia i ka makau, Ua loaa oia i ke nahu kuawili, a me ka eha, me ko ka wahine hanau keiki.
Damascus has become feeble; she has turned to flee. Panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her like a woman in labor.
25 Nani ke kuu ole ia o ke kulanakauhale kaulana, Ke kulanakauhale hoi o ko'u olioli ana!
How is the city of praise not forsaken, the town that brings Me joy?
26 Nolaila, e haule ai kona poe kanaka opiopio ma kona mau alanui, A e hooki loa ia na kanaka kaua a pau i kela la, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
For her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,”
27 E hoaa na wau i ke ahi ma ka pa o Damaseko, A e hoopau no ia i na halealii o Benehadada.
“I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-hadad.”
28 No Kedara, a no na aupuni o Hazora, na mea a Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona e luku ai, Ke i mai o Iehova penei; E ku oukou iluna, E pii aku i Kedara, a e luku aku i na kanaka o ka hikina.
Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated, this is what the LORD says: “Rise up, advance against Kedar, and destroy the people of the east!
29 E lawe aku no lakou i ko lakou halelewa, a me ka lakou poe hipa: E lawe hoi lakou no lakou iho i ko lakou mau paku, I ko lakou mau kiaha hoi, a me ka lakou poe kamelo; E kahea aku no keia poe ia lakou, He makau no ma na aoao a puni.
They will take their tents and flocks, their tent curtains and all their goods. They will take their camels for themselves. They will shout to them: ‘Terror is on every side!’
30 E holo, a hiki oukou i kahi loihi, E hana oukou i ko oukou noho ana ma kahi hohonu, E ka poe noho ma Hazora, wahi a Iehova: No ka mea, ua noonoo hewa ia oukou o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, A ua imi oia i ka manao ku e ia oukou.
Run! Escape quickly! Lie low, O residents of Hazor,” declares the LORD, “for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has drawn up a plan against you; he has devised a strategy against you.
31 E ku iluna, e hele i ka lahuikanaka waiwai, I ka poe noho malama ole, wahi a Iehova; I ka poe aole o lakou pani pukapa, aole kikaola, Ua noho mehameha hoi.
Rise up, advance against a nation at ease, one that dwells securely,” declares the LORD. “They have no gates or bars; they live alone.
32 E lilo ka lakou poe kamelo i waiwaipio, A me ka nui o ka lakou holoholona i waiwai lawe wale. E hoopuehu no wau ma na kukulu makani a pau, I ka poe e kahi ana i na kihi o ka umiumi; A e lawe mai no wau i ko lakou poino, mai kela aoao keia aoao a pau, wahi a Iehova.
Their camels will become plunder, and their large herds will be spoil. I will scatter to the wind in every direction those who shave their temples; I will bring calamity on them from all sides,”
33 E lilo no hoi o Hazora i wahi noho no na ilio hihiu, I wahi neoneo mau loa hoi; Aohe kanaka e noho malaila, Aole hoi e hoomoana ke keiki a ke kanaka ma ia wahi.
“Hazor will become a haunt for jackals, a desolation forever. No one will dwell there; no man will abide there.”
34 O ka olelo a Iehova i hiki mai io Ieremia la ke kaula, no Elama, i ka makamua o ke au ia Zedekia ke alii o ka Iuda, i mai la,
This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah.
35 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei; E uhai no wau i ke kakaka o Elama, I ke poo hoi o ko lakou ikaika.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will shatter Elam’s bow, the mainstay of their might.
36 E lawe mai no hoi au maluna o Elama i na makani eha, Mai na kihi eha o ka lani mai, A e hoopuehu hoi ia lakou ma ia mau makani a pau; Aohe aina e koe, kahi e hiki ole aku ai ka poe kuewa o Elama.
I will bring the four winds against Elam from the four corners of the heavens, and I will scatter them to all these winds. There will not be a nation to which Elam’s exiles will not go.
37 No ka mea, e hooweliweli aku au ia Elama imua o ko lakou poe enemi, Imua hoi o ka poe imi i ko lakou ola: A lawe aku no hoi au i ka hewa maluna o lakou, I ka wela no o ko'u ukiuki, wahi a Iehova: Ae hoouna aku au i ka pahikaua mahope o lakou, A hoopau wau ia lakou.
So I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives. I will bring disaster upon them, even My fierce anger,” declares the LORD. “I will send out the sword after them until I finish them off.
38 E hoonoho wau i ko'u nohoalii ma Elama, A e anai aku hoi, mai ia wahi aku, i ke alii a me na luna, Wahi a Iehova.
I will set My throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials,”
39 A hiki i na la mahope, e hoihoi no wau i ke pio ana o Elama, wahi a Iehova.
“Yet in the last days, I will restore Elam from captivity,”
