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?
[This message is] about the Ammon people-group. This is what Yahweh says: “There are [RHQ] plenty of Israeli people left to occupy [the land of the tribe of] Gad. So, why are [RHQ] [the people who worship the god] Molech living in those towns?
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.
There will be a time when I will sound the battle-cry [for their enemies] to attack [their capital city], Rabbah. [Then] it will become a heap of ruins, and [all] the nearby towns will be burned. Then [the people of] Israel will again possess the land that the Ammon people-group took away from them.
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.
You people of Heshbon [city] [MTY], wail, because Ai [town nearby] will be destroyed. You people of Rabbah [city], weep; put on (rough clothing/sackcloth) [to show you are mourning]; run back and forth [in confusion] inside the city walls, because [your god] Milcom, along with its priests and officials, will be taken away (in exile/to other countries).
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?
You are [RHQ] very proud of your very fertile valleys, [but they will soon be ruined]. You rebellious people, you trusted in your wealth, and you said, ‘Certainly no [RHQ] army will be able to attack us!’
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.
But listen to this: 'I, the Commander of the armies of angels, will cause you to become terrified. You will all be forced to flee [to other countries], and no one will be able to bring you together [again].'
6 A mahope iho, e hoihoi no wau i ke pio ana o na keiki a Amona, wahi a Iehova.
But some day I will enable the Ammon people-group to return to their land. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
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?
[This message is] about the Edom people-group. This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “It seems that [RHQ] there are no wise people in Teman [district in Edom]! There are no people left who can give others [good] advice. The people who were wise [PRS] have disappeared.
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.
You people of Dedan [city in the south of Edom], turn and flee and hide in deep [caves], because when I cause the Edom people-group to experience disaster, I will punish you, too.
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.
Those who harvest grapes always [RHQ] leave some on the vines. When thieves come at night, they surely [RHQ] steal only as much as they want.
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 cause everything in Edom to be destroyed, and there will be nothing left, and there will be no place for people to hide. [Many of] [HYP] the children, their relatives and their neighbors, will die, and Edom will not exist any 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.
But I will protect the orphans, and the widows [also] will [be able to] depend on me [to help them].”
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.
And this is [also] what Yahweh says: “If those who do not deserve to suffer [MET] must suffer, you people of Edom must [RHQ] suffer much more [DOU]! You will not escape being punished.
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.
I, Yahweh, have solemnly promised, using my own name, that [your chief city] Bozrah will become a place that people will be horrified about. It will be a heap of ruins. People will make fun of it and use its name when they curse people. All the nearby towns and villages will be a 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 heard this message from Yahweh: “I have sent an ambassador to [many] nations, [to tell them to] gather together to attack Edom. They must prepare 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.
[And Yahweh says to the people of Edom, ] “I will cause your nation to become very unimportant among the [other] nations. They will all despise your country.
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.
You have caused [people of other nations] to be terrified, and you [MTY] have been very proud, but you have deceived yourselves. You live in caves in the rock cliffs; [you think that you are safe there because] you live high up there. But even if you make your homes as high up as the eagles’ nests, I will cause you to come [crashing] 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 a place about which people are horrified; people who pass by will be horrified and will (gasp/be shocked) when they see the destruction.
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.
Edom will be destroyed as [completely as] Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns were destroyed [long ago]. [As a result, ] no one will live there [any more] [DOU].
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?
I will come to Edom [suddenly] like [SIM] a lion comes out of the jungle and [leaps on the sheep that are] eating in the good pastureland. I will quickly chase the people of Edom from their land. And [then] I will appoint for them a leader whom I will choose; [I can do that] because there is no one [RHQ] like me who can object to what I do. No ruler can oppose 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.
Listen to what I have planned to do to the people of Teman [town] and [the rest of] Edom: Even the little children will be dragged away, and I will completely get rid of the people [MET] who live there.
21 I ka halulu o kona haule ana, naueue no ka honua; Ma ke Kaiula, lohea no ka leo o kona uwe ana.
When Edom is destroyed, the noise [will be extremely great], with the result that the earth will shake, and the wailing of the people will be heard [as far away as] 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! The enemy troops will swoop/rush down over Bozrah like an eagle spreads its wings when it swoops down [to seize an animal]. On that day, [even the strongest] warriors of Edom will [be afraid] like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.”
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.
[This message is] about Damascus. [This is what Yahweh says]: “[The people in the nearby cities of] Hamath and Arpad are confused, because they have heard bad news [about Damascus]. They are very anxious and restless, like [SIM] a sea in a big storm.
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.
The people of Damascus have become very weak, and [they all] have (panicked/fled [because] they are very afraid). The people are anguished and in pain like [SIM] a woman [experiences] who is about to give birth.
25 Nani ke kuu ole ia o ke kulanakauhale kaulana, Ke kulanakauhale hoi o ko'u olioli ana!
That famous city, that I was [previously] pleased with, will be abandoned.
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.
Its young men will fall in the streets. Its soldiers will all be killed in one day.
27 E hoaa na wau i ke ahi ma ka pa o Damaseko, A e hoopau no ia i na halealii o Benehadada.
And I, the Commander of the armies of angels, will start a fire to burn the walls that surround Damascus, and the palaces of [King] Ben-Hadad will be burned down.”
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.
[This is a message] about the Kedar [people-group] and the kingdom of Hazor which [the army of] Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon attacked. This is what Yahweh says: “[I will cause an army to] advance to attack Kedar and destroy those people who live east [of Judah].
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.
Their tents and their flocks [of sheep] will be captured. The curtains [in their tents] and their camels and their other possessions will be taken away. [Everywhere] men will shout, ‘We are terrified [because terrible things are happening] all around us!’
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.
So [I, ] Yahweh, say, ‘Run away [quickly]! You people who live in Hazor, go and hide in deep [caves], because King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon wants to attack you [with his army]; he is planning to destroy 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.
But I say [to Nebuchadnezzar], ‘Go up and attack that nation whose people feel secure; they do not have allies [who will help them] and do not have [walls with] gates that have bars in them.
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.
Your troops will seize their camels and [other] livestock. I will scatter in every direction [IDM] those people who live in remote places (OR, who cut their hair short). I will cause them to experience disasters from every direction.
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 place where jackals/wolves live, and it will be deserted forever. No one will live there again; no one will settle there [DOU].’”
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,
I received this message from Yahweh when King Zedekiah was starting to rule 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 Commander of the armies of angels says: “The men of Elam are famous (archers/men who shoot arrows well); that is how they have made their country very powerful. But I will get rid of them [MET].
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 their enemies from all directions [IDM, DOU], and they will scatter the people of Elam in all directions. The people of Elam will be exiled to every nation on the earth [LIT, HYP].
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.
Because I am very angry with the people of Elam, I will enable their enemies to smash Elam; I will cause the people of Elam to experience great disasters. I will enable their enemies, who want to kill them, to pursue them [and kill them] with swords until I completely get rid of all of them.
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, Yahweh, will judge them there [MTY], and [then] I will get rid of their king and [his] officials.
39 A hiki i na la mahope, e hoihoi no wau i ke pio ana o Elama, wahi a Iehova.
But some day, I will enable the people of Elam to return to their land. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
