Ieremia 6
1 E NA mamo a Beniamina, e hoakoakoa oukou e holo aku mawaho o Ierusalema; a e puhi i ka pu ma Tekoa, a e kau hoi i ka hoailona o ke ahi ma Betehakerema. No ka mea, aneane mai ka hewa, a me ka make nui, mai ke kukulu akau mai.
O YE children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth-haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
2 Ua hoopau no au i ke kaikamahine o Ziona, i ka mea puloku, a palupalu.
I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
3 E hele mai no io na la na kahu hipa, me ko lakou poe hipa, e kukulu no lakou i na halelewa a puni ia wahi; e ai no kela mea keia mea i kona wahi iho.
The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
4 E hoomakaukau oukou e kaua ia ia; e ku mai, e pii ku e kakou ia ia i ke awakea. Auwe kakou! no ka mea, e pau ana ka la; ua hohola ae ka molehulehu o ke ahiahi.
Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 E ku mai, e hele hoi kakou i ka po, a e wawahi i kona mau hale alii.
Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
6 No ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova o na kaua penei, E kua oukou ilalo i mau laau, a e hana hoi i puu ku e ia Ierusalema; oia ke kulanakauhale e hoopaiia'i; o ka hooluhi wale no ko loko ona.
For thus hath the Lord of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
7 A like me ka punawai i puai mai i kona mau wai, pela no oia i puai mai i kona hewa. Ua loheia ka lawe wale a me ka hao ana maloko ona; imua o ko'u alo, ua mau loa no ke kaumaha a me ka palapu.
As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.
8 E aoia oe, e Ierusalema, o haalele kuu uhane ia oe, a hooneoneo aku hoi au ia oe, he aina noho ole ia.
Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
9 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, E hoiliili no lakou i ke koena a pau o ka Iseraela, e like me ke kumu waina; e hoihoi i kou lima, e like me ka mea hoiliili i ka huawaina iloko o na hinai.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
10 Ia wai la wau e olelo aim ai, a e ao aku hoi, i lohe lakou? Aia hoi, ua okipoepoe ole ia ko lakou pepeiao, aole hiki ia lakou ke hoolohe: aia hoi, he mea hoowahawaha ka olelo a ke Akua ia lakou, aohe o lakou lealea iloko o ia mea.
To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the Lord is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
11 Nolaila, ua piha au i ka inaina o Iehova; ua auka au i ka uumi ana. E ninini aku au ia maluna o na kamalii mawaho, maluna pu no me ka ahakanaka ui; no ka mea, e lawe pio pu ia no ke kane me ka wahine, o ka mea elemakule me ka mea i nui kona mau la.
Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
12 A e hooliloia ko lakou hale no na kanaka e, a me na mahinaai, a me na wahine pu; no ka mea, e kikoo aku no au i ko'u lima, maluna o ka poe e noho ana ma ka aina, wahi a Iehova.
And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.
13 No ka mea, mai ka mea uuku o lakou a ka mea nui o lakou, ua makee waiwai lakou a pau; a mai ke kaula mai a ke kahuna, hana ma ka wahahee kela mea keia mea.
For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
14 Ua hoola hapa lakou i ka eha o ko'u poe kanaka, me ka olelo iho, He malu, he malu; aole hoi he malu.
They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
15 Ua hilahila anei lakou ia lakou i hana'i i ka mea e hoopailua ai? Ole, aole lakou i hilahila iki, aole hoi i ike i ka hoopalaimaka; nolaila lakou e haule ai iwaena o ka poe haule; a hoopai aku au ia lakou, alaila lakou e kulaina'i, wahi a Iehova.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.
16 Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, E ku mai oukou ma na alanui, a nana, a e ninau hoi no na kuamoo kahiko. Auhea ka aoao maikai? E hele oukou maloko olaila, a e loaa no ia oukou ka hoomaha no ko oukou poe uhane. Aka, olelo mai la lakou, Aole makou e hele.
Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
17 A hoonoho iho la au i poe kiai maluna o oukou, nana i olelo, E hoolohe oukou i ke kani ana o ka pu. Aka, olelo mai la lakou, Aole makou e hoolohe.
Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
18 Nolaila, e hoolohe mai oukou, e na aina, a e ike hoi, e ka ahakanaka, i ka mea mawaenao lakou.
Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 E hoolohe mai, e ka honua! aia hoi, e lawe mai ana no wau i ka hewa maluna o keia poe kanaka, i ka hua hoi o ko lakou manao iho; no ka mea, aole lakou i hoolohe mai i ka'u mau olelo, aole hoi i ko'u kanawai, aka, hoole lakou ia.
Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
20 No ke aha la e hele mai ai ka mea ala mai Seba mai no'u? A me ka ohe ala mai ka aina mamao aku mai? Aole i makemakeia e a'u ko oukou mohaikuni, aole hoi i oluolu ko oukou alana.
To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
21 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, e waiho aku au i mau mea e hina'i imua o keia poe kanaka, a e haule pu maluna o ia mau mea na makuakane, a me na keikikane. E make pu no ka hoalauna, a me kona hoa.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
22 Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, he poe kanaka e hele mai la, mai ka aina akau mai; a e hoalaia mai ka lahuikanaka nui, mai na aoao mai o ka honua.
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
23 E lalau no lakou i ke kakaka, a me ka ihe: he poe lokoino lakou, aohe o lakou lokomaikai; halulu ko lakou leo, e like me ke kai; a holo no lakou maluna o na lio i hoomakaukauia e like me na kanaka kaua e ku e aku ia oe, e ke kaikamahine o Ziona.
They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
24 Ua lohe makou i kona kaulana, ua nawaliwali hoi ko makou mau lima; ua loohia makou i ka haalulu, a me ke kuakoko e like me ko ka wahine hanau keiki.
We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
25 Mai hele aku iloko o ke kula, mai hele hoi ma na alanui; no ka mea, aia no ka pahikaua o ka enemi, a me ka makau ma na aoao a pau.
Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
26 E ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, e hoaahu oe i kapa Kumakena, a e lulu i ka lehu maluna ou; a e kumakena hoi oe, e like me ia no ka hanaukahi, he kumakena ino loa; no ka mea, e hele hoohikilele mai ana ka mea anai ia kakou.
O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
27 Ua hoonoho wau ia oe, i hale kiai, a i pakaua mawaena o ko'u poe kanaka, i ike oe, a e hoao i ko lakou aoao.
I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
28 He poe hoihope ino lakou a pau, e hele ana me ka ahiahi; he keleawe lakou, a he hao hoi; he poe hoohaumia lakou a pau.
They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
29 Ua wela na upamakani, ua pau i ke ahi ke kepau; o ka mea hoohehee, hoohehee makehewa no oia: no ka mea, aole i laweia'ku ka poe hewa.
The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 E kapaia no lakou, he kala i haaleleia, no ka mea, ua haalele o Iehova ia lakou.
Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them.
