Ieremia 51

1 KE i mai nei o Iehova, penei; Aia hoi, e hoala no wau i ka makani luku e ku e ia Babulona, E ku e hoi i ka poe e noho la iwaenakonu, Ka poe i ala ku e mai ia'u.

Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will awaken against Babylon, and against those that dwell in the midst of my opponents, a destroying wind;

2 E hoouna aku au i na malihini i Babulona, A e hoopuehu lakou i kona, a e ninini aku i ko kona aina; No ka mea, e ku e no lakou ia ia a puni i ka la poino.

And I will send out unto Babylon fanners, and they shall fan her, and shall empty out her land; for they shall be against her round about on the day of trouble.

3 E lena ke kakaka o ka mea pana, E ku e i ka mea i hoolena i kona; E ku e i ka mea hookiekie maloko o kona paleumaumaunahi; Mai hookoe i kona poe kanaka opiopio, E luku loa aku i kona mau kaua a pau.

Let the archer come against any one that bendeth his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his armor: and spare ye not her young men: destroy ye utterly all her host.

4 E hina no ka poe make ma ka aina o ko Kaledea, A e houia ma kona mau alanui.

And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are pierced through, in her streets.

5 No ka mea, ua haalele ole ia ka Iseraela, A o ka Iuda hoi e kona Akua e Iehova o na kaua; Ua piha nae ko lakou aina i ka lawehala imua o ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.

For not widowed are Israel and Judah of their God, of the Lord of hosts; for the land of those was filled with guiltiness against the Holy One of Israel.

6 E holo oukou mai waenakonu aku o Babulona, E hoopakele kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona ola iho: Mai noho oukou a lukuia iloko o kona hewa, No ka mea, o ka manawa keia o ko Iehova ukiuki; Nana no e hoouku aku ia ia

Flee ye out of the midst of Babylon, and save ye every man his life: perish not for her iniquity; for this is a time of vengeance unto the Lord; a recompense is he paying out unto her.

7 He wahi kiaha gula o Babulona ma ka lima o Iehova, O ka mea ia i ona'i ka honua a pau: Ua inu ko na aina i kona waina, Nolaila i pupule ai ko na aina.

A golden cup hath Babylon been in the hand of the Lord, that made drunken all the earth: of her wine have nations drunk; therefore are the nations rendered mad.

8 Ua haule hoohikilele o Babulona, a ua anaiia; E aoa nona, e kii hoi i wahi nini no kona eha, Ina paha e hoolaia oia.

Suddenly is Babylon fallen and broken: wail ye for her; fetch balm for her wound, perhaps she may be healed.

9 Hoola aku no makou ia Babulona, aole ia i ola: E haalele ia ia, e hele hoi kela mea keia mea o kakou i kona aina iho; No ka mea, ua pa aku kona hoopaiia i ka lani, Ua hapaiia hoi, a i na aouli.

“We would have healed Babylon, but she was not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one unto his own country; for her punishment reacheth unto the heavens, and it is lifted up even to the skies.”

10 Ua hoopuka mai o Iehova i ko kakou pono; E hele mai hoi, e hai aku kakou ma Ziona i ka hana a Iehova ko kakou Akua.

The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us relate in Zion the work of the Lord our God.

11 E anai i na pua, e lalau i na palekaua; Ua hooikaika o Iehova i ka manao o na'lii o Media: No ka mea, he manao ku e kona ia Babulona e luku ia wahi; No ka mea, o ka hoopai ana ia o Iehova, O kana hoopai ana hoi, no kona luakini.

Make bright the arrows; fill the quivers: the Lord hath awakened the spirit of the kings of Media; for against Babylon is his intention, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance for his temple.

12 E kau i ka hae ma na pa o Babulona, E hoomahuahua i ka poe kaua, E hoonohonoho i na kiai, E hoomakaukau i ka poe hoohalua; No ka mea, ua noonoo o Iehova, a ua hana hoi i na mea ana i olelo ku e ai i ka poe e noho la ma Babulona.

Against the walls of Babylon lift up the standard, strengthen the watch, set up the watchmen, make ready the ambushes; for the Lord hath both intended and done what he had spoken against the inhabitants of Babylon.

13 E ka mea e noho la ma na wai nui, Ka mea waiwai nui hoi, Ua hiki mai kou hope, a me ke ana o kou hao ana.

O thou that dwellest upon many waters, great in treasures, thy end is come, the full measure of thy selfish robbery.

14 Ua hoohiki o Iehova o na kaua ia ia iho, Oiaio, e hoopiha no wau ia oe i na kanaka e like me na enuhe, A e hookiekie lakou i ka hooho ku e ia oe.

Sworn hath the Lord of hosts by himself, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with locusts: and they shall lift up the battle-cry against thee.

15 Ua hana oia i ka honua i kona mana, Ua hookumu oia i ke ao nei i kona akamai, A ua uhola'i i na lani i kona ike.

He made the earth by his power, he established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.

16 I ka poha ana o kona leo, Nui na wai ma na lani; Oia ka mea e pii aku ai ka ohu, mai na kihi ae o ka honua: Nana no i hana ka uwila, me ka ua, A hoopuka mai la oia i ka makaui, Mailoko mai o kona waihona waiwai.

At the sound when he giveth a multitude of waters in the heavens, and causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; when he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures:

17 Me he holoholona la na kanaka a pau ma ka ike, Ua hoohilahilaia na mea hoohehee kala a pau, ma na kii i hooheheeia; No ka mea, he wahahee kona kii hooheheeia, Aohe hanu iloko o lakou.

Then standeth every man as brutish without knowledge; ashamed is every goldsmith because of the graven image; for falsehood is his molten work, and there is no breath therein.

18 He lapuwale lakou, he hana na ka wahahee; I ko lakou wa e hoopaiia mai ai, e make no lakou.

They are vanity, the work of deception: in the time of their punishment shall they vanish.

19 Aole i like ka Puu o Iakoba me lakou, No ka mea, nana no i hana na mea a pau; O ka Iseraela ke kookoo o kona hooilina; O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.

Not like these is the portion of Jacob; for He is the former of all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.

20 He hamare no oe no'u, A me ko'u mau mea kaua e kaua'i: No ka mea, ia oe no wau e wawahi ai i na aina, A ia oe no hoi e luku aku ai au i na aupuni;

Thou art a hammer unto me, weapons of war; and I strike down with thee nations, and I destroy with thee kingdoms;

21 Ia oe no wau e uhai i ka lio, A me kona mea nana e holo; Ia oe no wau e uhai ai i ke kaakaua, A me kona mea nana e holo;

And I strike down with thee the horse and his rider; and I strike down with thee the chariot and its rider;

22 Ia oe no wau e uhai ai i ke kane a me ka wahine; Ia oe no hoi au e uhai ai i ka elemakule a me ka mea opiopio; A ia oe no e uhai ai au i ke kanaka opiopio, a me ke kaikamahine:

And I strike down with thee man and woman; and I strike down with thee the aged and the lad; and I strike down with thee the young man and the virgin:

23 Ia oe no e uhai aku ai au i ke kahuhipa, a me kona ohana; Ia oe no wau e uhai aku ai i ke kauaka mahiai, A me kona mau bipi kauo; A ia oe no wau e uhai aku ai i na kiaaina, A me ko lakou poe alii.

And I strike down with thee the shepherd and his flock; and I strike down with thee the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and I strike down with thee governors and rulers.

24 A maluna o Babulona, a maluna o ka poe e noho la ma Kaledea, E hoihoi no wau i ka hewa a pau a lakou i hana'i, Ma Ziona, imua o kou mau maka, wahi a Iehova.

But [now] will I repay unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes, saith the Lord.

25 Aia hoi, owau ka i ku e ia oe, e ka mauna hoomake, Wahi a Iehova; Ka mea i anai i ka honua a pau: A e kakauha aku au i ko'u lima maluna ou, A e olokaa aku au ia oe ilalo, mai na pohaku aku, A e hoolilo au ia oe i mauna a.

Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand over thee, and I will roll thee down from the rocks, and will render thee a burnt mountain.

26 Aole hoi lakou e lawe i kekahi pohaku ou i pohaku kihi, Aole hoi i pohaku hookumu: Aka, e neoneo mau loa aku no oe, wahi a Iehova.

And they shall not take from thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but everlasting ruins shalt thou be, saith the Lord.

27 E kau oukou i ka hae ma ka aina, E puhi i ka pu iwaena o ko na aina, E hoomakaukau i ko na aina, e ku e ia ia; E kena i na aupuni o Arerata e ku e ia ia, Ia Mini, a me Asekenaza; E hoonoho i alihi kaua e ku e ia ia; E hoouna i na lio e like me na enuhe huluhulu.

Lift ye up a standard in the land, blow ye the cornet among the nations, make ready against her nations, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint against her a commander; cause the horses to come up like the hairy locusts.

28 E hoomakaukau ku e ia ia i ko na aina a me ua'lii o ko Media, I kona poe kiaaina hoi a me kona mau luna, A me ka aina a pau o kona aupuni.

Make ready against her the nations with the kings of Media, its governors, and all its rulers, and all the land of their dominion.

29 E haalulu no ka aina, a e mihi hoi; No ka mea, e hanaia maluna o Babulona na manao a pau o Iehova, E hoolilo i ka aina o Babulona i wahi neoneo, Me ka mea ole nana e noho.

And the earth quaketh and trembleth; for every one of the purposes of the Lord is fulfilled against Babylon, to change the land of Babylon into a desolate country without an inhabitant.

30 Ua haalele na kanaka ikaika o Babulona i ke kaua, Ua noho lakou ma na puu kaua; Ua pio hoi ko lakou ikaika, Ua like no hoi lakou me na wahine; Ua hoopau lakou i ko lakou wahi noho i ke ahi, Ua uhaiia kona mau kikaola.

The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight, they sit still in [their] strongholds; their might is vanished; they are become as women: they have burnt her dwelling-places; her bars are broken.

31 E holo auanei kekahi luna e halawai me ka kekahi luna, A me kekahi elele e halawai me kekahi elele, E hai aku i ke alii i ke pio ana o ke kulanakauhale ma kekahi pea:

One runner shall run to meet another runner, and one messenger to meet another messenger, to tell unto the king of Babylon that his city is captured at all ends,

32 I ka lilo ana o na alanui kiaiia, A ua hoopau no lakou i na ohe i ke ahi, Ua auhee hoi na kanaka kaua.

And that the passages have been seized, and that they have burnt the reeds with fire, and that the men of war are affrighted.

33 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; Ua like ke kaikamahine o Babulona me kahi hahi palaoa, Ua hiki mai ka manawa e hahi ai ia ia; He manawa iki e koe, a hiki mai kona hoiliili ai ana.

For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, the daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time they thresh therein; but yet a little while more, when the time of harvest shall come for her.

34 Ua ai mai o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona ia'u, A ua hooki loa mai ia'u, Ua hoolilo mai oia ia'u i ipu mea ole iloko, Ua moni mai oia ia'u, e like me ka moonui, Ua hoopiha oia i kona opu i ka'u mea maikai, Ua kipaku mai oia ia'u.

“Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon devoured me, he crushed me, he set me down as an empty vessel, he swallowed me up like a huge serpent, he filled his belly with my delicacies: he drove me out.

35 Maluna hoi o Babulona, ka hookaumahaia o'u a me ko'u kino, Wahi a ka mea e noho la ma Ziona; A o ko'u koko hoi maluna o ka poe e noho la ma Kaledea, Wahi a Ierusalema.

the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” will the inhabitress of Zion say; and “My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” will Jerusalem say.

36 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, na'u no e hooponopono i kou hoopiiia, Na'u hoi e hoopai aku nou; A e hoomaloo no wau i kona moana, A e hoopio no hoi au i kona waipuna.

Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will contend in thy cause, and execute vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and cause her springs to fail.

37 A e lilo o Babulona i mau puu, He wahi noho no na iliohihiu, He mea e kahaha ai, a e hoowahawaha ai hoi, Me ka mea ole nana e noho.

And Babylon shall become ruinous heaps, a dwelling-place for monsters, an astonishment, and a derision, without an inhabitant.

38 E uwo pu no lakou e like me na liona, A e hoonui hoi i ko lakou leo e like me na keiki liona.

Together like lions shall they roar: they shall yell like the lions' whelps.

39 Ia lakou e wela'i, e hana no wau i ko lakou ahainu, A e hooona aku wau ia lakou, i mea e lealea ai lakou, A e moe no lakou i ka hiamoe mau loa, Aole lakou e ala hou, wahi a Iehova.

When they are heated will I prepare their drinking-feasts, and I will make them drunken, in order that they may be joyful, and [then] sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake again, saith the Lord.

40 E hooiho aku au ia lakou e like me na keikihipa i ka make, E like hoi me na hipa kane, a me na kaokane.

I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like wethers with he-goats.

41 Nani ka hopuia o Sesaka! A ua hoopioia hoi ka mea nani o ka honua a pau! Nani ka lilo ana o Babulona i mea kupaianaha iwaena o na aina!

How is Sheshach captured! and how is conquered the praise of the whole earth! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!

42 Ua pii mai ke kai maluna o Babulona; Ua uhiia oia i ka nui o kona mau ale.

The sea is come up over Babylon: with the multitude of its waves is she covered.

43 Ua lilo kona mau kulanakauhale i wahi neoneo, He aina maloo hoi, a he waonahele, He aina noho ole ia e kekahi kanaka, Aole hoi e hele ae ke keiki a ke kanaka ilaila.

Her cities are become desolate places, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein not any man shall dwell, and through which no son of man shall pass along.

44 Na'u no e hoopai aku ia Bela ma Babulona, A e hoopuka aku no hoi au iwaho o kona waha, I ka mea ana i moni ai; Aole e akoakoa hou mai na lahuikanaka io na la; Oia, e hiolo ana ka pa o Babulona.

And I will inflict punishment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth what he hath swallowed up out of his mouth; and nations shall not assemble together like a stream unto him any more; yea, the wall of Babylon also is fallen.

45 E ko'u poe kanaka, e hele oukou maiwaena aku ona, A e hoopakele kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona ola iho, Mai ka ukiuki nui o Iehova;

Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and save ye every man his life from the fierceness of the anger of the Lord.

46 O maule auanei ko oukou naau, a makau hoi oukou, no ka lono e loheia ana ma ia aina; E hiki mai no ka lono i kekahi makahiki, A he lono hou i kekahi makahiki, He haunaele ma ka aina, O kekahi alii e ku e ana i kekahi alii.

And so that your heart may not faint, and ye fear at the report that is heard in the land: when the report cometh in one year, and after that in another year cometh another report, and when violence [be done] in the land, [by] ruler against ruler.

47 Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, E hoopai aku ai au i na kii kalaiia o Babulona; A e hoohilahilaia kona aina a pau, A e haule hoi iwaenakonu ona, kona poe a pau i houia.

Therefore, behold, days are coming, when I will inflict punishment on the graven images of Babylon, and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fail in the midst of her.

48 Alaila e hookani olioli ai ka lani, a me ka honua, a me na mea a pau oloko, no Babulona; No ka mea, mai ke kukulu akau mai e hele mai ai io na la ka poe hao wale, wahi a Iehova.

And then shall the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, sing because of Babylon; for from the north shall come unto her the destroyers, saith the Lord.

49 Me Babulona i hoohina'i i ka poe i houia o ka Iseraela, Pela no ma Babulona e hina'i ka poe i houia o ka honua a pau.

Also Babylon is destined to fall, O ye slain ones of Israel, also at Babylon fall the slain of all the land.

50 E hele oukou, e ka poe i pakele i ka pahikaua, Mai ku malie; e hoomanao ia Iehova ma kahi loihi aku, E hoomanao hoi ia Ierusalema iloko o ko oukou naau.

[But] ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember afar off the Lord, and let Jerusalem rise up in your heart.

51 Ua hoohilahilaia makou, no ka mea, ua lohe makou i ka hoowahawaha: Ua uhiia ko makou maka i ka hilahila; No ka mea, ua hiki mai na malihini iloko o na keenakapu o ka hale o Iehova.

“We had been made ashamed, because we had heard reproach: confusion had covered our faces; because strangers were come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house.”

52 No ia mea, aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la, wahi a Iehova, E hoopai aku ai au i kona mau kii kalaiia; A ma kona aina a puni e kaniuhu ai no ka poe i oia.

Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will inflict punishment on her graven images: and through all her land shall groan the deadly wounded.

53 Ina paha i pii aku o Babulona a i ka lani, A ina i hoopaa loa oia i na puu kaua o kona ikaika, E hele aku nae ka poe hao wale, mai o'u aku nei a io na la, wahi a Iehova.

Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength; yet from me should destroyers come unto her, saith the Lord.

54 Mai Babulona mai, kui mai ka lono no ka uwe ana, A me ka luku nui ia, mai ka aina o ko Kaledea mai.

A sound of a painful cry cometh from Babylon, and of a great breach from the land of the Chaldeans;

55 No ka mea, ua hao wale o Iehova ia Babulona, A ua hooki hoi i ka walaau nui mai ona aku; A halulu kona mau ale e like me na wai nui, Kani no ka leo o kona walaau.

Because the Lord wasteth Babylon, and destroyeth out of her the loud noise; but their waves roar like great waters, the noise of their voice is sent forth;

56 No ka mea, ua hele mai ka mea hao wale maluna ona, Maluna hoi o Babulona; Ua lawepioia kona poe kanaka ikaika, Ua hai hoi na kakaka a pau o lakou; No ka mea, o Iehova ke Akua hoopai, Oiaio no, e hoopai oia.

Because the destroyer is come over her, over Babylon, and her mighty men are caught, every one of their bows is broken; for the God of recompenses, the Lord, will surely requite.

57 A e hooona aku au i kona poe alii, a me kona poe akamai, I kona poe kiaaina, a me kona mau luna, a me kona poe kanaka ikaika: A e moe no lakou i ka hiamoe mau loa, Aole lakou e ala hou, wahi a ke alii, Nona ka inoa, o Iehova o na kaua.

And I will make drunken her princes, and her wise men, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake again, saith the King, The Lord of hosts is his name.

58 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua; E oiaio no e hoohiolo loa ia na pa nui o Babulona, A e puhiia i ke ahi kona mau pukapa kiekie; E hooikaika na kanaka a make hewa ka luhi, A o na lahuikanaka hoi, no ke ahi, A e maloeloe lakou.

Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Every one of the broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire; so that nations shall have labored in vain, and the people for the fire, and so shall they have wearied themselves.

59 O ka olelo a Ieremia a ke kaula i kauoha'i ia Seraia, i keiki a Neria, i ke keiki a Maaseia, i ka manawa ana i hele pu aku ai i Babulona me Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka makahiki aha o kona noho alii ana. He luna noho malie o ua Seraia nei.

The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Serayah the son of Neriyah, the son of Machseyah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah unto Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Serayah was chief chamberlain.

60 A kakau no Ieremia iloko o ka buke i ka hewa a pau e hiki mai ana maluna o Babulona, i keia mau olelo a pau hoi i palapalaia no Babulona.

And Jeremiah wrote down all the evil that should come upon Babylon in one book, namely, all these words that are written concerning Babylon.

61 Olelo mai la o Ieremia ia Seraia, A hiki aku oe i Babulona, a ike, a heluhelu hoi i keia mau olelo a pau;

And Jeremiah said to Serayah, As thou comest to Babylon, see to it, that thou read all these words;

62 Alaila, e i aku oe, E Iehova, ua olelo ku e mai oe i keia wahi, e hooki iho, i mea e koe ole ai kekahi mea iloko ona, aohe kanaka, aohe holoholona, aka, e neoneo mau loa aku no.

And thou shalt say, O Lord, thou thyself hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, so that there shall not be in it an inhabitant, either man or beast; but that it shall become a desolate place for ever.

63 A hiki i ka manawa e hoopau ai oe i ka heluhelu ana i keia buke, alaila e nakinaki i ka pohaku me ka buke, a e hoolei aku iwaenakonu o Euperate.

And it shall be, when thou hast finished reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and throw it into the midst of the Euphrates;

64 A e i aku oe, Pela e poho ai o Babulona, aole o ala hou, mai ka hewa a'u e lawe ai maluna ona. A e maloeloe lakou. A ia nei na olelo a Ieremia.

And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again from the evil that I will bring upon her: and her people shall be wearied. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
