< Ieremia 7 >

1 O KA olelo keia i hiki mai ai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, i mai la.
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, and proclaim these words, and say: —Hear the word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, Who enter in at these gates to worship Jehovah!
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 saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, And I will suffer you to dwell 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.
Trust ye not in lying words, when they say, “The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah are these.”
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;
Yet if ye will thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, And dispense justice between man and man,
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 ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, And shed not innocent blood in this place, And go not after other gods to your own hurt,
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 will I cause you to dwell in this place, In the land which I gave to your fathers, For ever and ever.
8 Aia hoi, ke hilinai nei no oukou i na wahahee hope ole.
Behold, ye trust in lying words without profit.
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?
Ye steal, and murder, and commit adultery, And swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, And go after strange gods, which ye know not,
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 is called by my name, And say, “We are delivered!” Whilst ye practise 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.
Is this house, which is called by my name, Become a den for robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, saith Jehovah.
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 my place, which was in Shiloh, Where I caused my name to dwell at the first, And see what I have done to it On account 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 ye have done all these works, saith Jehovah, And I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, But ye hearkened not, And I have called to you, But ye answered not,
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 will I do to the house which is called by my name, In which ye place your confidence, And to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, As I have done to Shiloh.
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.
I will cast you out from my presence, As I have cast out all your brethren, The whole race 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.
And as for thee, pray not for this people, Nor lift up a cry or a prayer for them, Nor make intercession to me for them; For I will not hear thee.
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?
Seest thou not what they do In the cities of Judah, and 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 the wood, And the fathers kindle the fire, And the women knead dough, To make cakes for the queen of heaven, And to pour out libations to strange gods, That they may vex me.
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 do they vex me, saith Jehovah? Do they not rather vex themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?
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 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold my anger and my fury shall be poured out on this place, Upon man and upon beast; Upon the trees of the field, And upon the fruit of the ground; It shall burn and not be quenched.
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.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices, And eat ye the flesh.
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 I spake not to your fathers, nor commanded them Concerning burnt-offerings and sacrifices, At the time when I brought them out of the land of Egypt;
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 command gave I to them: “Hearken,” said I, “to my voice, And I will be your God, And ye shall be my people. And walk ye in all the ways which I command you, 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.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, But walked in the devices and obstinacy of their evil heart, Turning their backs and not their faces toward me.
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 when your fathers came forth from the land of Egypt, Even to this day, I have also sent to you all my servants, the prophets, Daily rising early and sending.
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.
But they have not hearkened to me, Nor have they inclined their ear; But they have hardened their neck, And acted more wickedly 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.
And when thou shalt speak all these things to them, They will not hearken to thee; And when thou shalt call to them, They will make thee no 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 shalt thou say to them, This is the nation that hearkeneth not to the voice of Jehovah their God, And taketh no correction; Truth hath failed, and is cut off from their mouth.
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 thy locks, O Jerusalem, and cast them away! Set up a lamentation upon the high place! For Jehovah hath rejected and forsaken the children Against which his wrath hath been kindled.
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 children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith Jehovah, They have set their abominations in the house Which is called by my name, to pollute 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 Tophet, Which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, Which I commanded not, Which even came not into 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.
Therefore behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That it shall no more be called Tophet, Or the valley of the son of Hinnom, But the Valley of Slaughter; For they shall bury in Tophet till there be no room left.
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.
And the dead bodies of this people shall be for meat To the birds of the air and to the beasts of the earth; And none shall 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.
And I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah, And from the streets of Jerusalem, The voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; For the land shall be desolate.
