Ieremia 7
1 O KA olelo keia i hiki mai ai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, i mai la.
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 E ku oe ma ka puka o ka hale o Iehova, a malaila oe e kala aku ai i keia olelo, a e i aku. E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e ka Iuda a pau i komo nei iloko o na pukapa e hoomana ia Iehova.
“Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD.
3 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei. E hoomaikai oukou i ko oukou mau aoao, a me ka oukou hana ana, a na'u no e hoonoho loa ia oukou ma keia wahi.
Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Correct your ways and deeds, and I will let you live in this place.
4 Mai hilinai oukou ma na olelo wahahee, me ka olelo iho, Ka luakini o Iehova, Ka luakini o Iehova, Ka luakini o Iehova, keia mau mea.
Do not trust in deceptive words, chanting: ‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.’
5 No ka mea, ina hoomaikai oiaio oukou i ko oukou mau aoao, a me ka oukou hana ana; ina e hana oiaio oukou i ka pono mawaena o ke kanaka, a me kona hoa;
For if you really correct your ways and deeds, if you act justly toward one another,
6 Ina hookaumaha ole oukou i ka malihini. i na keiki makua ole, a me na wahine kanemake, a hookahe ole i ke koko hala ole ma keia wahi, aole hoi e hele mamuli o na'kua e, i mea e hewa'i oukou;
if you no longer oppress the foreigner and the fatherless and the widow, and if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow other gods to your own harm,
7 Alaila, e hoonoho loa au ia oukou i keia wahi i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai i ko oukou poe makua, a mau loa aku no.
then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
8 Aia hoi, ke hilinai nei no oukou i na wahahee hope ole.
But look, you keep trusting in deceptive words to no avail.
9 E aihue anei oukou, a pepehi kanaka, a moe kolohe, a e hoike wahahee, a e kuni i ka mea ala no Baala, a e hele mamuli o na'kua e a oukou i ike ole ai?
Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known,
10 A e hele mai anei, a ku imua o'u iloko o keia hale, ka mea i heaia ma ko'u inoa, a e olelo iho, Ua hoolaia makou, i hana makou i keia mau mea hoopailua a pau?
and then come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, ‘We are delivered, so we can continue with all these abominations’?
11 O keia hale i kapaia ma ko'u inoa, ua lilo anei ia i lua no ka poe powa i ko oukou mau maka? Aia hoi, ua ike no wau, wahi a Iehova.
Has this house, which bears My Name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Yes, I too have seen it, declares the LORD.
12 Aka, e hele oukou, ano, i ko'u hale ma Silo, i kahi a'u i waiho ai i ko'u inoa i kinohi, a e ike hoi i ka mea a'u i hana'i ia wahi no ka hewa o ko'u poe kanaka no ka Iseraela.
But go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for My Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.
13 A no ka oukou hana ana i keia mau mea a pau, wahi a Iehova; a olelo aku hoi au ia oukou, me ke ala ae i ka wauaao e olelo, aole nae oukou i hoolohe: a hea aku no hoi au ia oukou, aole oukou i o mai;
And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and because I have spoken to you again and again but you would not listen, and I have called to you but you would not answer,
14 Nolaila, e hana aku no au i keia hale i kapaia ma ko'u inoa, ka mea a oukou e hilinai nei, a i kahi hoi a'u i haawi aku ai ia oukou a i ko oukou poe makua, e like me ka'u i hana'i ia Silo.
therefore what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers.
15 A e kipaku aku no au ia oukou, mai ko'u ale aku, e like me ka'u i kipaku aku ai i ko oukou poe hoahanau a pau, i ka hanauna a pau hoi o ka Eperaima.
And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.
16 Nolaila, mai pule oe, no keia poe kanaka, aole hoi e hookiekie i ka leo, a me ka nouoi ana no lakou, aole hoi e uwao iho no lakou; no ka mea, aole loa au e hoolohe aku ia oe.
As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you.
17 Aole anei oe i ike i na mea a lakou e hana nei ma na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema?
Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Hoiliili no na keiki i ka wahie, a hoa na makuakane i ke ahi, a kaawili na wahine i ka palaoa, e hana i papapalaoa no ke alii wahine o ka lani, a uinini i ka mohai inu no na akua e, i mea e hoonaukiuki mai ai ia'u.
The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven; they pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.
19 E hoonankiuki mai anei lakou ia'u, wahi a Iehova? Aole anei ia e lilo ia lakou i mea e hoopalai loa ai ko lakou mau maka?
But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?
20 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua penei, Aia hoi, e nininiia'ku no ko'u huhu, a me ko'u ukiuki maluna o keia wahi, maluna o ke kanaka, a maluna o ka holoholona, a maluna o na laau o ke kula, a maluna o ka hua o ka lepo; a e a no ia, aole ia e hoopioia.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.
21 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, E hui oukou i ko oukou mohaikuni me ko oukou alana, a e ai i ka io.
This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves!
22 No ka mea, aole au i olelo aku i ko oukou poe makua, a i ka la a'u i lawe mai ai ia lakou mai Aigupita mai, aole au i kauoha ia lakou no na mohai kuni, a me na alana:
For when I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt, I did not merely command them about burnt offerings and sacrifices,
23 Aka, o keia ka'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou, i aku la, E malama i ko'u leo, a owau auanei ko oukou Akua, a o oukou auanei ko'u poe kanaka, a e hele hoi oukou ma na aoao a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oukou, i mea e pomaikai ai oukou.
but this is what I commanded them: Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must walk in all the ways I have commanded you, so that it may go well with you.
24 Aka, aole lakou i hoolohe mai, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko lakou pepeiao, aka, hele no lakou ma ka noonoo ana a ma ka paakiki o ko lakou naau hewa, a hoihope lakou, aole i hele mua.
Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but they followed the stubborn inclinations of their own evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
25 Mai ka la i hele mai ai ko oukou poe kupuna mai Aigupita mai, a hiki loa mai i keia la, ua hoouna aku au io oukou la, i ka'u poe kauwa a pau, i na kaula hoi, e ala ana i ka wanaao i kela la i keia la no ka hoouna aku.
From the day your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets again and again.
26 Aole nae lakou i hoolohe mai ia'u, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko lakou pepeiao, aka, hooolea no i ko lakou a-i. Kela aku no ka lakou hana hewa ana, i ka na makua o lakou.
Yet they would not listen to Me or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and did more evil than their fathers.
27 Nolaila oe e olelo aku ai i keia mau olelo a pau ia lakou; aka, aole no lakou e hoolohe mai ia oe. E hea aku oe ia lakou; aka, aole no lakou e o mai i kau.
When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.
28 E olelo no nae oe ia lakou, He lahuikanaka keia i hoolohe ole i ka leo o Iehova o ko lakou Akua, aole hoi lakou i hoonaauao. Ua make ka oiaio, a ua hookiia mai ko lakou waha aku.
Therefore you must say to them, ‘This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the LORD their God and would not receive correction. Truth has perished; it has disappeared from their lips.
29 E ako oe i kou lauoho, a e hoolei aku, a e olo ka pihe maluna o na wahi kiekie; no ka mea, ua hoole o Iehova, a ua haalele hoi i ka hanauna o kona ukiuki
Cut off your hair and throw it away. Raise up a lamentation on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.’
30 No ka mea, ua hana hewa na kieki a Iuda imua o ko'u alo, wahi a Iehova; ua waiho lakou i ko lakou mea e hoopailua'i maloko o ka hale i kapaia ma ko'u inoa, e hoohaumia ia wahi.
For the people of Judah have done evil in My sight, declares the LORD. They have set up their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.
31 A ua hana lakou i na wahi kiekie o Topeta; aia no ia maloko o ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, e puhi i ka lakou keiki kane, a me ka lakou kaikamahine iloko o ke ahi, ka mea a'u i kauoha ole ai ia lakou, aole hoi i komo ia iloko o ko'u naau.
They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Hinnom so they could burn their sons and daughters in the fire—something I never commanded, nor did it even enter My mind.
32 Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la, wahi a Iehova, e kapa ole ia'i ia o Topeta, aole hoi o ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, aka, o ke awawa o ka make; no ka mea, e kanu kupapau no lakou ma Topeta, a piha loa ia wahi.
So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.
33 A e lilo na kupapau o keia poe kanaka i mea ai na na manu o ka lani, a na na holoholona o ka honua, aohe mea hooweliweli ia lakou.
The corpses of this people will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to scare them away.
34 Alaila, maloko o na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema, e hooki no wau i ka leo o ke oli, a me ka leo o ka hauoli, a me ka leo o ke kane mare, a me ka leo o ka wahine mare; a e neoneo auanei ka aina.
I will remove from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sounds of joy and gladness and the voices of the bride and bridegroom, for the land will become a wasteland.”
