Ieremia 50
1 KA olelo a Iehova i olelo ai no Babulona, a no ka aina o ko Kaledea, ma o Ieremia la, ke kaula.
The word which Yahweh spake Against Babylon Against the land of the Chaldeans, through Jeremiah the prophet:
2 E hai aku oukou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, A kala aku hoi, e kau i ka hae; E kala aku, mai huna, e i aku hoi, Ua hoopioia o Babulona, ua hoohilahilaia o Bela, Ua uhaiia o Merodaka, ua hoohilahilaia kona mau akua wahahee, Ua ubaiia kona mau kii.
Tell ye among the nations And let it be heard And lift ye up a standard, Let it be heard do not conceal: Say ye—Captured is Babylon, Confounded is Bel, Broken in pieces is Merodach, Confounded are her images, Broken down her manufactured gods;
3 No ka mea, ke pii mai nei ka lahuikanaka, mai ka akau mai, e ku e ia ia, Nana no e hoolilo i ka aina i wahi alaneo, Aole noho kekahi mea malaila; Mai ke kanaka a i ka holoholona, e neenee, a e hele aku no.
For there hath come up against her—a nation out of the North The same, shall make her land an astonishment, And there shall be none to dwell therein, —Both man and beast, have removed—have gone.
4 Ia mau la, a i kela manawa, wahi a Iehova, E hele mai no na mamo a Iseraela, O lakou a me na mamo a Iuda pu, E hele no lakou, a e uwe iho i ko lakou hele ana; A e imi ia Iehova i ko lakou Akua.
In those days, and at that time, Declareth Yahweh, Shall the sons of Israel come in, They and the sons of Judah together: Weeping as they travel, so shall they journey on, And Yahweh their God, shall they seek;
5 E ninau no lakou i ke ala e hiki aku ai i Ziona, Me na maka o lakou e huli ana ilaila, i ka i ana iho, Ea, e hoopili kakou ia kakou iho ia Iehova Ma ka berita mau loa nalowale ole i ka poina.
To Zion, shall they ask the way, Hitherward, their faces, Come and let us join ourselves unto Yahweh, In a covenant age-abiding, which shall not be forgotten.
6 O ko'u poe kanaka, he poe hipa nalowale lakou; Na ko lakou mau kahu i alakai hewa ia lakou, Ua kuu wale aku na kahu ia lakou ma na mauna; Ua hele lakou, mai kekahi puu, a i kekahi puu, Ua poina ia lakou ko lakou wahi e hoomaha'i.
Wandering sheep, have my people, been, Their own shepherds led them astray, On the mountains, they seduced them, From mountain to hill, have they gone, They have forgotten their couching-place.
7 O na mea a pau i halawai me lakou, Ua ai no ia poe ia lakou; Olelo ae la ko lakou poe enemi, Aole makou e hewa, No ka mea, ua lawe hala lakou ia Iehova, I kahi i noho ai o ka hoopono, Ia Iehova hoi, i ka Mea i lana ai ka manao o ko lakou poe makua.
All who found them, devoured them, And, their adversaries, said—We shall not be, guilty, —Because they have sinned, Against, Yahweh the pasturage of righteousness, Yea the hope of their fathers—Yahweh.
8 E puka aku oukou mai waena aku o Babulona, A e hele aku hoi mawaho o ka aina o ko Kaledea, E like hoi oukou me na kao kane imua o ka poe kao.
Remove ye out of the midst of Babylon, And out of the land of the Chaldeans, come ye forth, —And become ye like he-goats before the flock;
9 No ka mea, aia hoi, e hoala no wau, a e alakai ku e ia Babulona I na lahuikanaka nui, mai ka aina ma ka akau mai; A e hoonohonoho lakou ia lakou iho e kaua ia ia, Alaila, e lawe pio ia oia; E like auanei ko lakou mau pua me ko ke kanaka ikaika, Aole e hoihoi nele a make hewa ia mai.
For lo! I am rousing and bringing up against Babylon a gathered host of great nations, out of the land of the North, And they shall array themselves against her, From thence, shall she be captured, —His arrows, are as of a hero making childless, None shall return empty.
10 A e lilo o Kaledea i waiwai pio: E ana auanei ka poe lawe pio i kana, wahi a Iehova.
So shall the Chaldeans become a spoil, —All her spoilers, shall be satisfied, Declareth Yahweh;
11 No ka mea, lealea no oukou, no ka mea hoi, hauoli oukou, E ka poe hao wale i ko'u hooilina; No ka mea, ua lelele olioli oukou, me he bipi wahine ai i ka mauu, A ua uhuuhu oukou e like me na lio kane.
Because they used to be glad Because they used to be uproarious When plundering mine inheritance, —Because they used to caper about as a heifer at grass, And bellow like bulls.
12 E hoohilahilaia auanei kou makuwahine; E hoopalaimaka ka mea nana oe i hanau: Aia hoi, e lilo no ka welelau o na aina i waonahele, I aina maloo hoi, a i auakua.
Your mother, hath turned very pale, She that bare you, hath turned red, —Lo! the last of nations, is—A desert, A parched land, and A waste plain,
13 No ka huhu o Iehova, aole ia e nohoia, Aka, e alaneo loa auanei oia; E kahaha ka naau o ka poe a pau e maalo ae i Babulona, E hoowahawaha lakou no kona mau ino a pau.
Because of the vexation of Yahweh, she shall not be inhabited, But Shall become a complete desolation, —Every one passing by Babylon, shall be astonished and hiss, over all her plagues.
14 E hoonohonoho oukou ia oukou iho e kaua ia Babulona a puni: E ka poe a pau, e lena i ke kakaka, E pana aku ia ia, mai aua i na pua; No ka mea, ua lawehala oia ia Iehova.
Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about All ye who tread the bow, Shoot at her, do not spare so much as an arrow, —For against Yahweh, hath she sinned.
15 E hooho ku e ia ia a puni, ua haawi oia i ka lima; Ua hiolo kona mau kia, ua wawahiia kona mau pa; No ka mea, o ka ukiuki no ia o Iehova: E hoopai oukou ia ia, Me kana i hana'i, pela oukou e hana aku ai ia ia.
Raise a shout against her round about She hath stretched forth her hand, Fallen are her buttresses, Torn down are her walls, —Because, the avenging of Yahweh it is, Take ye vengeance upon her, As she hath done, do ye, unto her.
16 E hooki aku i ka mea luluhua, mai Babulona aku, A me ka mea lawelawe i ka pahi oki palaoa i ka manawa hoiliili ai. E huli no ke kanaka i kona poe iho, mai ka maka aku o ka pahikaua luku, A e holo no ke kanaka i kona aina iho.
Cut ye off the sower from Babylon, And him that graspeth the sickle in the time of harvest, From the face of the sword of the oppressor, Each, to his own people will they turn, and Each, to his own land will they flee.
17 He poe hipa puehu o ka Iseraela, Ua kipaku na liona ia ia; O ke alii o Asuria ka i ai mua ia ia; A mahope na keia Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona i uhai i kona mau iwi.
A sheep all alone, is Israel Lions, have driven him away, —At the first, the king of Assyria devoured him, And here, at the last, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones!
18 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; Aia hoi, e hoopai no wau i ke alii o Babulona, a me kona aina, Me ka'u i hoopai ai i ke alii o Asuria.
Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing punishment against the king of Babylon, and against his land, —Just as I brought punishment against the king of Assyria.
19 A e lawe hou mai no wau i ka Iseraela i kona wahi e noho ai, A e ai no ia maluna o Karemela, a me Basana, A e aua no kona naau maluna o ka mauna o Eperaima, a me Gileada.
So will I bring back Israel unto his own pasture, And he shall feed upon Carmel and Bashan; And in the hill country of Ephraim and Gilead, shall, his soul, be satisfied.
20 A ia mau la, a i kela manawa, wahi a Iehova, E imi wale ia ka hewa o ka Iseraela, aohe hewa, A me na hala o ka Iuda, aole ia e loaa; No ka mea, e kala aku au i ko ka poe a'u e hookoe ai.
In those days and in that time, Declareth Yahweh, The iniquity of Israel, shall be sought, and there shall be none, And the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; For I will grant pardon to them whom I suffer to remain.
21 E pii aku oe e ku e i ka aina o Merataima; E ku e ia wahi, a e ku e i ka poe e noho la ma Pekoda; E luku aku, a e hooki loa iho mahope o lakou, wahi a Iehova, E hana hoi e like me na mea a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe.
Against the land of Merathaim, go thou up against her, And against the inhabitants of Pekod, —Lay waste and devote to destruction after them Declareth Yahweh, And do according to all which I have commanded thee.
22 He walaau no ke kaua ma ka aina, a he luku nui hoi.
The sound of battle is in the earth, —And a great destruction.
23 Nani ka wawahiia a nahaha o ka hamare o ka honua a pau! Nani hoi ka lilo ana o Babulona i wahi alaneo iwaena o na aina!
How is cut and broken the hammer of all the earth! How hath Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
24 Ua hoopahele au ia oe, a ua paa hoi oe, E Babulona, a ike ole nae oe: Ua loaa no oe, a ua paa hoi, No ka mea, ua hooikaika oe ma ke ku e ia Iehova.
I laid a snare for thee yea and thou wast captured O Babylon, when, thou wast not aware, —Thou wast found out yea and taken, For with Yahweh, hadst thou contended.
25 Ua wehe o Iehova i kona waihona mea kaua, A ua lawe mai iwaho i na mea kaua o kona ukiuki; No ka mea, o ka hana no keia a ka Haku, a Iehova o na kaua, ma ka aina o ko Kaledea.
Yahweh opened his armoury, and brought out his weapons of indignation, —For, a work, it is pertaining to My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, in the land of the Chaldeans,
26 E hele ku e mai oukou ia ia, mai kela kihi mai, E wehe i kona mau halepapa; E hoouka ae ia ia e like me na puu, E anai loa aku ia ia, mai hookoe i kekahi mea.
Come ye against her from farthest parts, Throw open her granaries, Cast her up as heaps, and devote her to destruction, —Do not let her have a remnant.
27 E luku aku i kona mau bipi a pau, E kuu ia lakou e iho ilalo i ka lukuia: Auwe hoi lakou! no ka mea, ua hiki mai ko lakou la, Ka manawa hoi o ko lakou hoopaiia.
Cut up all her bullocks, Let them go down to the slaughter, —Alas for them! For their day, hath come, Their time for punishment.
28 Ka leo o ka poe holo a pakeie mawaho o ka aina o Babulona, E hai aku ma Ziona i ka hoopai ana o Iehova, o ko kakou Akua, I ka hoopai ana no kona luakini.
The voice Of them who are in flight and Of such as are escaping, out of the land of Babylon, —To tell in Zion The avenging of Yahweh our God, The avenging of his temple.
29 E kena i ka poe pana e ku e ia Babulona; E ka poe a pau e lena ai ke kakaka, E hoomoana ku e ia ia a puni, Mai hoopakele i kekahi mea olaila; E uku aku ia ia e like me kana hana ana; E like me na mea a pau ana i hana'i, Pela e hana aku ai ia ia: No ka mea, ua hookiekie oia e ku e ia Iehova, E ku e hoi i ka Mea hemolele o ka Iseraela.
Publish against Babylon ye chiefs of all who tread the bow—Encamp against her round about Let there be none to escape, Recompense to her according to her work, According to all which she did, do ye to her, —For Against Yahweh, hath she acted presumptuously, Against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Nolaila, e haule ai kona poe kanaka opiopio ma na alanui, A i kela la, e anaiia kona poe kanaka kaua a pau, Wahi a Iehova.
Therefore, shall her young men fall in her broadways, —And, all her men of war, be silenced in that day, Declareth Yahweh.
31 Aia hoi, Owau no ka i ku e ia oe, e ka mea hookiekie loa, Wahi a ka Haku, Iehova o na kaua: No ka mea, ua hiki mai kou la, O ka manawa hoi a'u e hoopai aku ai ia oe.
Behold me! against thee most insolent one, Declareth My Lord Yahweh of hosts; For thy day, hath come, Thy time for punishment;
32 E okupe no ka poe hookiekie loa, a e hina hoi, Aohe mea nana e hoala ia ia: E hoaa no wau i ke ahi ma kona mau kulanakauhale, A e hoopau no ia i na mea a pau a puni ona.
So shall the most insolent one stumble and fall, And he shall have none to lift him up, —And I will kindle a fire in his cities which shall devour all who are round about him.
33 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei; Ua hookaumaha pu ia na mamo a Iseraela, a me na mamo a Iuda; O ka poe a pau i lawe pio ia lakou, Hoopaa loa no ia poe ia lakou; Hoole hoi lakou, aole e hookuu i ko'u poe kanaka,
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—Oppressed were the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, together, —And, all who took them captive, Held them fast Refused to let them go: —
34 Ua ikaika no ko lakou Kalahaia, o Iehova o na kaua kona inoa; Ia lakou e hoopiiia nana lakou e hooponopono io, I mea e hoomaha'i oia i ka aina, A e hoopihoihoi ai i ka poe e noho la ma Babulona.
Their Redeemer, can hold fast, Yahweh of hosts, is his name, He will, thoroughly plead, their plea, —That he may quiet the earth, And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 He pahikaua no, aia maluna o ko Kaledea, wahi a Iehova, A maluna hoi o ka poe e noho la ma Babulona, A maluna o kona poe alii, a maluna o kona poe akamai.
A sword, is over the Chaldeans, Declareth Yahweh, —And against the inhabitants of Babylon, And against her princes, And against her wise men:
36 He pahikaua, aia maluna o ka poe wahahee, A e lapuwale auanei lakou: He pahikaua, aia maluna o kona poe kanaka ikaika, A e makau auanei lakou.
A sword, is against the praters, And they shall be shewn to be foolish, A sword, is against her heroes And they shall be dismayed:
37 He pahikaua, aia maluna o na lio o lakou, A maluna hoi o ko lakou mau kaakaua, A maluna o na malihini mawaenakonu ona; A e like auanei lakou me na wahine. He pahikaua, aia maluna o ko lakou waihona waiwai, A e haoia lakou.
A sword, is against his horses and against his chariots and, against all the rabble that are in her midst And they shall become women, —A sword, is against her treasures And they shall be made a prey:
38 Ua pio no kona wai, a e maloo loa auanei ia: No ka mea, he aina kii kalaiia no ia, A ua pupule lakou mamuli o ko lakou akua wahahee.
A drought, is against her waters, And they shall be dried up, —For a land of images, it is, And with their shocking things, they act as men who are mad:
39 No ia mea, e noho no na holoholona hihiu o ka waonahele malaila, A me na holoholona hihiu o na mokupuni, A e noho hoi na pueo maloko olaila; E kanaka ole auanei ia aina, a i ka manawa pau ole; E noho ole ia hoi ia, a ia hanauna aku, ia hanauna aku.
Therefore shall the criers dwell with, the howlers, Yea ostriches, shall dwell therein, —So shall it be dwelt in no more for ever, Neither shall it be inhabited unto generation after generation.
40 Me ka ke Akua i hoohiolo ai ia Sodoma a me Gomora, A me kona mau wahi e kokoke mai ana, wahi a Iehova; Pela no, aole e noho kekahi kanaka malaila, Aole e hoomoana ke keiki a ke kanaka maloko o ia wahi.
Like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Declareth Yahweh, —There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—a son of the earth-born.
41 Aia hoi, o hele mai no kekahi lahuikanaka mai ke kukulu akau mai, A o hoalaia ka lahuikanaka nui, a me na'lii he lehulehu, Mai na mokuna mai o ka honua.
Lo! a people coming in from the North, —Yea, a great nation and many kings, shall be roused up out of the remote parts of the earth:
42 E paa no ia lakou ke kakaka a me ka ihe; Ua lokoino lakou, aole lakou e lokomaikai mai; E halulu no ko lakou leo, e like me ke kai, E holo no lakou maluna o na lio i hoonohonohoia, E like me kanaka no ke kaua, E ku e ia oe, e ke kaikamahine o Babulona.
Bow and javelin, shall they grasp, Cruel, are they and will not have compassion, Their voice, like the sea, will roar, And, on horses, will they ride, —Set in array, as one man for battle, Against thee, O daughter of Babylon!
43 Ua lohe ke alii o Babulona i ka lono no lakou, A ua nawaliwali kona mau lima: Loohia no oia i ka pilikia, a me ka nahu kuakoko, Me ko ka wahine hanau keiki la.
The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, And unnerved are his hands, —Anguish, hath seized him, Writhing pain, as a woman in child-birth.
44 Aia hoi, e pii mai no ia e like me ka liona mai ka nani o Ioredane mai, A iloko o kahi noho o ka mea ikaika: Aka, i ka amo ana o ka maka, e holo aku no lakou mai laila aku, Owai ka mea i waeia, e hoonoho 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?
Lo! as a lion, shall he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, Unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink—I will make them run away therefrom, Who then shall be the Chosen One whom against it, I may set in charge? For who shall be like unto, me? And who shall appoint me, a time? And who is the Shepherd that shall stand before me?
45 No ia mea, e hoolohe oukou i ka manao o Iehova, Ana i manao ai ia Babulona; A me kona noonoo ana i noonoo ai i ka aina o ko Kaledea: Oiaio no, e uhuki oia ia lakou me na mea liilii o ka ohana, Oiaio no, e hooneoneo no oia i ko lakou wahi noho a puni lakou.
Therefore hear ye, The counsel of Yahweh, which he hath counselled against Babylon, And his devices which he hath devised against the land of the Chaldeans, —Surely the little ones of the flock, shall drag them away, Surely he will cause the pasture to be astounded over them.
46 Naueue no ka honua i ka halulu no ke pio ana o Babulona, Ua lohea kona uwe ana ma na aina e.
At the noise of the taking of Babylon, the earth trembled, —And, the outcry, among the nations, was heard.
