Ieremia 8
1 I KELA manawa, wahi a Iehova, e lawe mai no lakou i na iwi o na'lii o ka Iuda, a me na iwi o na luna, a me na iwi o na kahuna, a me na iwi o na kaula, a me na iwi o ka poe i noho ma Ierusalema, mawaho o ko lakou mau halelua;
“At that time—this is Yahweh's declaration—they will bring out from the graves the bones of the kings of Judah and its officials, the bones of the priests and the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
2 A e kaulai no hoi lakou ia mau mea i ka la, a i ka mahina, a i na hoku a pau o ka lani, i na mea a lakou i makemake ai, a i hookauwa ai hoi na lakou, a i hahai mamuli o lakou, a i imi ia lakou, a i hoomana ia lakou; aole e hoiliiliia ia mau iwi, aole hoi e kanu hou ia; e lilo lakou i mea kipulu maluna o ka honua.
Then they will spread them out in the light of the sun and moon and all the stars of the skies; these things in the sky that they have followed and served, that they have walked after and sought, and that they have worshiped. The bones will not be gathered or buried again. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth.
3 A e kohoia ka make, aole o ke ola, e na kanaka i koe, o keia poe i hookoeia o keia hanauna hewa, o ka poe i koe ma na wahi a pau a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
In every remaining place where I have driven them, they will choose death instead of life for themselves, all who are still left over from this evil nation—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.
4 A e olelo aku no hoi oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, E hina anei lakou a ala ole mai? E huli aku anei ia, a hoi ole mai?
So say to them, 'Yahweh says this: Does anyone fall and not get up? Does anyone get lost and not try to return?
5 Heaha ka mea e hoihope ai keia poe kanaka o Ierusalema me ka hoihope mau loa? Hoopaa loa lakou i ka wahahee; hoole lakou, aole e hoi mai.
Why has this people, Jerusalem, turned away in permanent faithlessness? They hold on to treachery and refuse to repent.
6 Hoolohe aku la au, a lohe, aole lakou i olelo pololei: aohe kanaka i mihi i kona hewa, me ka olelo iho, Heaha ka'u i hana'i? Huli no kela mea keia mea i kona aoao, e like me ka lio i holo ino iloko o ke kaua.
I paid attention and listened, but they did not speak right; no one was sorry for his wickedness, no one who says, “What have I done?” All of them go where they wish, like a stallion rushing toward battle.
7 Oia, ua ike no ke setoreka ma ka lani i ka manawa pono: a malama no hoi ke kuhukuku, a me ka manu u, a me ka manuioio i ko lakou wa e hele mai ai: aka, o ko'u poe kanaka, aole ike lakou i ka hoopono o Iehova.
Even the stork in heaven knows the right times; and the doves, swifts, and cranes. They go on their migrations at the right time, but my people do not know Yahweh's decrees.
8 Pehea la oukou e olelo ai, Ua akamai makou, a eia ia makou ke kanawai o Iehova? Aia hoi, ua hoololi ka peni hoopunipuni a ka poe kakauolelo ia mea i wahahee.
How can you say, “We are wise, for the law of Yahweh is with us”? Indeed, see! The deceitful pen of the scribes has created deceit.
9 E hilahila auanei ka poe akamai, e makau, a e pio. Aia hoi, ua hoole lakou i ka olelo a Iehova: heaha hoi ke akamai iloko o lakou?
The wise men will be ashamed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold! They reject Yahweh's word, so what use is their wisdom?
10 Nolaila, e haawi aku au i ka lakou poe wahine na hai, a me ko lakou mahinaai no ka poe hou e noho iho ai; no ka mea, ua makee waiwai kela mea, keia mea o lakou, mai ka mea uuku o lakou a i ka mea nui; a mai ke kaula a i ke kahuna, hana no kela mea keia mea ma ka wahahee.
So I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who will possess them, because from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain! From the prophet to the priest, all of them practice deceit.
11 Ua hoola hapa lakou i ka eha o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, me ka olelo iho, He malu, he malu: aole hoi he malu.
They healed the wounds of my people lightly, saying, “Peace, Peace,” when there was no peace.
12 Ua hilahila anei lakou i ka lakou hana ana i ka mea e hoopailua'i? Ole, aole lakou i hilahila iki, aole hoi i ike i ka hoopalaimaka; nolaila lakou e haule ai iwaena o ka poe haule; a ia lakou e hoopaiia'i, alaila lakou e kulaina'i, wahi a Iehova.
Were they ashamed when they practiced abominations? They were not ashamed; they did not know how to blush! So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says Yahweh.
13 Oiaio, e hoopau no au ia lakou, wahi a Iehova; aole e loaa na hua ma ko lakou kumuwaina, aole hoi he fiku ma ka laau fiku, a e mae wale ka lau; a e lilo ia mau mea na ka poe hele mai maluna o lakou.
I will remove them completely—this is Yahweh's declaration—there will be no grapes on the vine, nor will there be figs on the fig trees. For the leaf will wither, and what I have given to them will pass away.
14 No ke aha la kakou e noho malie ai? E hoakoakoa oukou, a e komo iloko o na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, a malaila kakou e noho ekemu ole ai; no ka mea, e luku mai o Iehova ia kakou, a e hoohainu mai ia kakou i ka wai o ke au, no ka mea, ua hana hewa kakou ia Iehova.
Why are we sitting here? Come together; let us go to the fortified cities, and we will become silent there in death. For Yahweh our God will silence us. He will make us drink poison, since we have sinned against him.
15 Kakali kakou i ka malu; aohe pono: a i ka manawa o ke ola, aia hoi, he popilikia!
We are hoping for peace, but there will be nothing good. We are hoping for a time of healing, but see, there will be terror.
16 Ua loheia ka hau ana o na lio mai Dana mai; haalulu ka aina a pau no ka uhuuhu ana o ka poe ikaika: no ka mea, ua hiki mai lakou, a ua hoopau lakou i ka aina, a me na mea a pau maloko olaila, i ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe noho maloko olaila.
The snorting of his stallions is heard from Dan. The whole earth shakes at the sound of the neighing of his strong horses. For they will come and consume the land and its wealth, the city and the ones living in it.
17 No ka mea, aia hoi, e hoouna aku no au i na nahesa, a me na moo pepeiaohao iwaena o oukou, aole hoi lakou e hoowalewaleia, a e nahu mai no lakou ia oukou, wahi a Iehova.
For see, I am sending out snakes among you, vipers that you cannot charm. They will bite you—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
18 I maha no kuu kaumaha, ua maule no ko'u naau iloko o'u.
My sorrow has no end, and my heart is sick.
19 Aia hoi, ka leo o ka uwe ana o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, ma ka aina mamao mai; Aole anei o Iehova ma Ziona? Aole anei kona alii iloko ona? No ke aha la lakou i hoonaukiuki mai nei ia'u i ko lakou kii kalaiia, a me na mea lapuwale no kahi e mai?
Behold! The screaming voice of the daughter of my people from a land far away! Is Yahweh not in Zion? Is her king no longer there? Why then do they provoke me to anger with their carved figures and their worthless foreign idols?
20 Ua hala ka hoiliili ai ana, ua pau no ke kau, aole hoi kakou i hoolaia.
The harvest has passed on, summer is over. But we have not been saved.
21 Ua eha au no ka eha ana o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka; ua eleele au, ua loohia au i ka pilihua.
I am hurt because of the hurt of the daughter of my people. I mourn at the horrible things that have happened to her; I am dismayed.
22 Aole anei he nini ma Gileada? aole anei he kahuna lapaau malaila? No ke aha la i loaa ole ai ke ola no ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka?
Is there no medicine in Gilead? Is there no healer there? Why will the healing of the daughter of my people not happen?
