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 that Yahweh spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by 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.
“Declare among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and don’t conceal; say, ‘Babylon has been taken, Bel is disappointed, Merodach is dismayed! Her images are disappointed. Her idols are dismayed.’
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 a nation comes up out of the north against her, which will make her land desolate, and no one will dwell in it. They have fled. They are gone, both man and animal.
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 in that time,” says Yahweh, “the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping, and will seek Yahweh their God.
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.
They will inquire concerning Zion with their faces turned toward it, saying, ‘Come, and join yourselves to Yahweh in an everlasting covenant that will 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.
My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have caused them to go astray. They have turned them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting 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 have devoured them. Their adversaries said, ‘We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Yahweh, the habitation of righteousness, even Yahweh, the hope of their fathers.’
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.
“Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Go out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the male goats before the flocks.
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, behold, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they will set themselves in array against her. She will be taken from there. Their arrows will be as of an expert mighty man. None of them will return in vain.
10 A e lilo o Kaledea i waiwai pio: E ana auanei ka poe lawe pio i kana, wahi a Iehova.
Chaldea will be a prey. All who prey on her will be satisfied,” says 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 you are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses,
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 will be utterly disappointed. She who bore you will be confounded. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
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 Yahweh’s wrath she won’t be inhabited, but she will be wholly desolate. Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished, and hiss at 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 all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her. Spare no arrows, for she has sinned against Yahweh.
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.
Shout against her all around. She has submitted herself. Her bulwarks have fallen. Her walls have been thrown down, for it is the vengeance of Yahweh. Take vengeance on her. As she has done, do to 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 off the sower from Babylon, and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest. For fear of the oppressing sword, they will each return to their own people, and they will each flee to their own land.
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.
“Israel is a hunted sheep. The lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him, and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has 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 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished 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.
I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he will feed on Carmel and Bashan. His soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
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,” says Yahweh, “the iniquity of Israel will be sought for, and there will be none, also the sins of Judah, and they won’t be found; for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.
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.
“Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod. Kill and utterly destroy after them,” says Yahweh, “and do according to all that I have commanded you.
22 He walaau no ke kaua ma ka aina, a he luku nui hoi.
A sound of battle is in the land, and of 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 the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation 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 have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren’t aware. You are found, and also caught, because you have fought against Yahweh.
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 has opened his armory, and has brought out the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a work to do 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 against her from the farthest border. Open her storehouses. Cast her up as heaps. Destroy her utterly. Let nothing of her be left.
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.
Kill all her bulls. Let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their visitation.
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.
Listen to those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Yahweh our God, the vengeance 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.
“Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp against her all around. Let none of it escape. Pay her back according to her work. According to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against Yahweh, 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 her young men will fall in her streets. All her men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says 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, I am against you, you proud one,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies; “for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.
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.
The proud one will stumble and fall, and no one will raise him up. I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour all who are around 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,
Yahweh of Armies says: “The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together. All who took them captive hold them fast. They refuse 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 is strong. Yahweh of Armies is his name. He will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to 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 on the Chaldeans,” says Yahweh, “and on the inhabitants of Babylon, on her princes, and on 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 on the boasters, and they will become fools. A sword is on her mighty men, and they will 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 on their horses, on their chariots, and on all the mixed people who are in the middle of her; and they will become as women. A sword is on her treasures, and they will be robbed.
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 on her waters, and they will be dried up; for it is a land of engraved images, and they are mad over idols.
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 the wild animals of the desert with the wolves will dwell there. The ostriches will dwell therein. It will be inhabited no more forever, neither will it be lived in from generation to 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.
As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says Yahweh, “so no man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.
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.
“Behold, a people comes from the north. A great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the uttermost 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.
They take up bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea. They ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, 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 has heard the news of them, and his hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of him, pains as of a woman in labor.
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?
Behold, the enemy will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it. Whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it, for who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who can 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 the counsel of Yahweh that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they will drag them away, even the little ones of the flock. Surely he will make their habitation desolate 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.
The earth trembles at the noise of the taking of Babylon. The cry is heard among the nations.
