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 ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be [any] that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
2 A ina paha lakou e olelo, Ke ola la no Iehova; malaila no lakou i hoohiki wahahee ai.
And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear 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 upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, [but] they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
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 said, Surely these [are] poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, [nor] the judgment 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 unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, [and] the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, [and] burst the bonds.
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 lion out of the forest shall slay them, [and] a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, [and] their backslidings 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.
How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by [them that are] no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops 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 were [as] fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s 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 visit for these [things]? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged 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.
Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they [are] not the LORD’s.
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 Judah have dealt very treacherously 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 have belied the LORD, and said, [It is] not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword 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 prophets shall become wind, and the word [is] not in them: thus shall it be done unto 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 hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour 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.
Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it [is] a mighty nation, it [is] an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16 O ko lakou aapua, he lua kupapau hamama ia, he poe kanaka ikaika lakou a pau.
Their quiver [is] as an open sepulchre, they [are] all mighty men.
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 eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, [which] thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
18 Aka, i kela mau la, wahi a Iehova, aole au e hooki loa ia oukou.
Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with 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 it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve 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 Jacob, and publish it in Judah, 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;
Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear 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?
Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand [for] the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over 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 a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted 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.
Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
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.
Your iniquities have turned away these [things], and your sins have withholden 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 found wicked [men: ] they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they 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 birds, so [are] their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
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, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
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 visit for these [things]? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 Ua hanaia ka mea kupanaha ma ka aina, a he mea haumia loa hoi;
A wonderful and horrible 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 prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love [to have it] so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
