Ieremia 5
1 E HOLOHOLO oukou ma na alanui o Ierusalema, a e nana, a e hoomaopopo, a e imi ma kolaila wahi akea, ina paha e loaa ia oukou ke kanaka, ina he mea hana i ka pono, a imi i ka oiaio; a na'u e kala aku i ka hala ona.
Run to and from by the streetes of Ierusalem, and beholde nowe, and knowe, and inquire in the open places thereof, if ye can finde a man, or if there be any that executeth iudgement, and seeketh the trueth, and I will spare it.
2 A ina paha lakou e olelo, Ke ola la no Iehova; malaila no lakou i hoohiki wahahee ai.
For though they say, The Lord liueth, yet doe they sweare falsely.
3 E Iehova e, aole anei kou mau maka ma ka oiaio? Ua hahau no oe ia lakou, aole nae lakou i uwe. Ua hoopau no oe ia lakou, aka, ua hoole lakou, aole lakou e hoonaauao: a ua hana lakou i ko lakou maka a oi ka paakiki i ko ka pohaku; ua hoole lakou, aole e hoi mai.
O Lord, are not thine eyes vpon the trueth? thou hast striken them, but they haue not sorowed: thou hast consumed them, but they haue refused to receiue correction: they haue made their faces harder then a stone, and haue refused to returne.
4 A olelo no hoi au, He poe ilihune lakou, ua naaupo hoi; no ka mea, aole lakou i ike i ka aoao o Iehova, aole hoi i ka pono o ko lakou Akua.
Therefore I saide, Surely they are poore, they are foolish, for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the iudgement of their God.
5 E hele aku no au i na kanaka koikoi, a e olelo aku ia lakou; no ka mea, ua ike lakou i ka aoao o Iehova, i ka pono hoi o ko lakou Akua: aka, o keia poe, ua uhaki loa lakou i ka auamo, ua moku ia lakou na kaula e paa ai.
I will get me vnto the great men, and will speake vnto them: for they haue knowen the way of the Lord, and the iudgement of their God: but these haue altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bondes.
6 Nolaila, na ka liona mai ka ululaau mai e luku ia lakou, a na ka iliohae o ke ahiahi e anai ia lakou; a na ka leopadi e kiai i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale: o kela mea keia mea o lakou e puka aku iwaho, e haehaeia no; no ka mea, ua nui loa ka lakou hana hewa ana, a ua hoomahuahuaia ko lakou hoihope ana.
Wherefore a lyon out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolfe of the wildernesse shall destroy them: a leopard shall watch ouer their cities: euery one that goeth out thence, shall be torne in pieces, because their trespasses are many, and their rebellions are increased.
7 Pehea la wau e kala'i i keia hewa nou? Ua haalele kau mau keiki ia'u, a ua hoohiki lakou ma na mea akua ole. Hanai aku la au ia lakou a maona, alaila, moe kolohe iho la lakou, a hoakoakoa lakou me ka lehulehu ma na hale o na wahine hookamakama.
Howe should I spare thee for this? thy children haue forsaken me, and sworne by them that are no gods: though I fed them to the full, yet they committed adulterie, and assembled them selues by companies in the harlots houses.
8 Holoholo lakou e like me na lio i hanai maikai ia; uhuuhu kela mea keia mea o lakou i ka wahine a kona hoalauna.
They rose vp in the morning like fed horses: for euery man neyed after his neighbours wife.
9 Aole anei au e hoopai i keia mau mea? wahi a Iehova. Aole anei e ko ka inaina o kuu uhane i ka lahuikanaka e like me neia?
Shall I not visite for these things, saith the Lord? Shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
10 E pii aku oukou maluna o kona mau pa, a e luku aku; mai hooki loa nae; e lawe aku i kona mau puupuu kaua, no ka mea, aole no Iehova ia mau mea.
Clime vp vpon their walles, and destroy them, but make not a full ende: take away their batilments, for they are not the Lords.
11 No ka mea, ua hana wahahee loa mai ia'u ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, a me ko ka hale o Iuda, wahi a Iehova.
For the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue grieuously trespassed against me, saith the Lord.
12 Ua hoole lakou ia Iehova, a ua olelo iho, Aole ia, aole e hiki mai ka hewa maluna o makou, aole hoi e ike makou i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi.
They haue denied the Lord, and saide, It is not he, neither shall the plague come vpon vs, neither shall we see sworde nor famine.
13 A e lilo auanei na kaula i makani, aole iloko o lakou ka olelo; pela e hanaia'i io lakou la.
And the Prophetes shall be as winde, and the worde is not in them: thus shall it come vnto them.
14 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, peneia, No ka oukou olelo ana i keia olelo, aia hoi, e hoolilo no wau i ka'u mau olelo iloko o kou waha, i ahi, a o keia poe kanaka i wahie, a e hoopau ia ia lakou.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hostes, Because ye speake such wordes, beholde, I will put my wordes into thy mouth, like a fire, and this people shall be as wood, and it shall deuoure them.
15 Aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau maluna o oukou, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, i ka lahuikanaka, mai kahi mamao aku mai, wahi a Iehova; he lahuikanaka ikaika, he lahuikanaka kahiko, he lahuikanaka, aole oe i ike i ka lakou olelo, aole hoi i hoomaopopo i ka mea a lakou e olelo mai ai.
Loe, I will bring a nation vpon you from farre, O house of Israel, saith the Lord, which is a mightie nation, and an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither vnderstandest what they say.
16 O ko lakou aapua, he lua kupapau hamama ia, he poe kanaka ikaika lakou a pau.
Whose quiuer is as an open sepulchre: they are all very strong.
17 A e ai no lakou i kau ai, a me kau palaoa i hoiliiliia i mea na kau poe keiki kane, a na kau poo kaikamahine e ai ai: e ai no lakou i kau poe hipa, a me kau poe bipi; e ai no lakou i kou mau kumuwaina, a me kou laau fiku; e anai aku no lakou ma ka pahikaua, i kou mau kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, i na mea au i hilinai ai.
And they shall eate thine haruest and thy bread: they shall deuoure thy sonnes and thy daughters: they shall eate vp thy sheepe and thy bullocks: they shall eate thy vines and thy figge trees: they shall destroy with the sworde thy fenced cities, wherein thou didest trust.
18 Aka, i kela mau la, wahi a Iehova, aole au e hooki loa ia oukou.
Neuerthelesse at those dayes, sayth the Lord, I will not make a full ende of you.
19 A i ka wa e olelo mai ai oukou, No ke aha la i hana mai ai o Iehova, ko makou Akua, i keia mau mea a pau ia makou? Alaila, e i aku oe ia lakou, E like me oukou i haalele mai ai ia'u, a hookauwa aku na na akua e, ma ko oukou aina, pela no oukou e hookanwa aku ai na na kanaka e, ma ka aina aole no oukou.
And when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God doe these things vnto vs? then shalt thou answere them, Like as ye haue forsaken me and serued strange gods in your land, so shall ye serue strangers in a land that is not yours.
20 E hai aku i keia maloko o ka hale o ka Iakoba, a e hoolaha aku hoi ma ka Iuda, e i aku,
Declare this in the house of Iaakob, and publish it in Iudah, saying,
21 E hoolohe mai oukou i keia, e ka lahuikanaka lapuwale, a naauao ole; ka poe mea maka, a ike ole, ka poe mea pepeiao, a lohe ole;
Heare nowe this, O foolish people, and without vnderstanding, which haue eyes and see not, which haue eares and heare not.
22 Aole anei oukou e makau mai ia'u? wahi a Iehova; aole anei oukou e haalulu imua o ko'u alo, ka mea i hoonoho i ke one i mokuna no ke kai, mamuli o ka manao paa mau loa, i pii ole ia a kela aoao: a ina hooleilei kona mau ale, aole hiki ia lakou ke pii, a ina halulu mai, aole no lakou e hele mai i keia aoao?
Feare ye not me, saith the Lord? or will ye not be afraide at my presence, which haue placed the sand for the bounds of the sea by the perpetuall decree that it cannot passe it, and though the waues thereof rage, yet can they not preuaile, though they roare, yet can they not passe ouer it?
23 Aka, o keia poe kanaka, he naau kipi ku e ko lakou; ua kipi no lakou, a ua lilo.
But this people hath an vnfaithfull and rebellious heart: they are departed and gone.
24 Aole nae lakou i olelo ma ko lakou naau, Ano, e makau aku kakou ia Iehova, i ko kakou Akua, i ka mea i haawi mai i ka ua, i ka ua mua, a me ka ua hope i kona manawa pono; a hookoe hoi no kakou i na hobedoma e hoiliili ai.
For they say not in their heart, Let vs nowe feare the Lord our God, that giueth raine both early and late in due season: hee reserueth vnto vs the appointed weekes of the haruest.
25 Na ko oukou hewa i hoohuli aku i keia mau mea, a na ko oukou hala i hoopaa i na mea maikai, i loaa ole ia oukou.
Yet your iniquities haue turned away these things, and your sinnes haue hindred good things from you.
26 Ua loaa no na mea hewa iwaena o ko'u poe kanaka; kiai malu lakou, e like me ke kulou ana o ka mea hoopahele manu; kau no lakou i ka upiki, a paa no na kanaka ia lakou.
For among my people are founde wicked persons, that lay waite as hee that setteth snares: they haue made a pit, to catch men.
27 E like me na hinai manu i piha i na manu, pela no ka piha ana o ko lakou hale i ka wahahee; nolaila lakou i nui ai, a ua waiwai hoi.
As a cage is full of birdes, so are their houses full of deceite: thereby they are become great and waxen riche.
28 Ua momona ae nei lakou, ua hinuhinu hoi; oia, ua hele lakou, a ua pakela mamua o ka hana ana a ka poe hewa; aole lakou i kokua i ka pono, i ka pono hoi o na keiki makua ole, ua pomaikai nae lakou; aole lakou i hoopono ma ka hoopii ana o ka poe kaumaha.
They are waxen fat and shining: they doe ouerpasse the deedes of the wicked: they execute no iudgement, no not the iudgement of the fatherlesse: yet they prosper, though they execute no iudgement for the poore.
29 Aole anei au e hoopai i keia mau mea? wahi a Iehova; aole anei e ko ka ukiuki o kuu uhane i ka lahuikanaka e like me keia?
Shall I not visite for these things, sayth the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
30 Ua hanaia ka mea kupanaha ma ka aina, a he mea haumia loa hoi;
An horrible and filthie thing is committed in the land.
31 Wanana wahahee mai na kaula, a ma o lakou la i noho alii ai na kahuna; a ua makemake ko'u poe kanaka ia mea; a pehea hoi oukou e hana'i i ka hopena o ia mea?
The Prophets prophesie lies, and ye Priests receiue giftes in their handes, and my people delite therein. What will ye then doe in the ende thereof?
