Ieremia 9
1 A UWE! ina i lilo kuu poo i wai, a me kuu mau maka hoi i kumu waimaka, i uwe aku ai au i ke ao a me ka po, no ka poe i pephiia o ko kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka!
Who doth make my head waters, And mine eye a fountain of tears? And I weep by day and by night, For the wounded of the daughter of my people.
2 Auwe hoi! ina ia'u ma ka waonahele ko ka poe hele wahi e moe ai; i haalele ai au i ko'u poe kanaka, a e hele, mai o lakou aku! no ka mea, he poe moe kolohe lakou a pau, he ahakanaka kipi.
Who doth give me in a wilderness A lodging-place of travellers? And I leave my people, and go from them, For all of them [are] adulterers, An assembly of treacherous ones.
3 Lena no lakou i ko lakou mau alelo, e like me ko lakou kakaka, no ka wahahee. Aole lakou hookoa ma ka oiaio maluna o ka honua; no ka mea, hele no lakou, mai kekahi hewa, a i kekahi hewa, aole hoi lakou i ike mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
And they bend their tongue, their bow [is] a lie, And not for stedfastness have they been mighty in the land, For from evil unto evil they have gone forth, And Me they have not known, An affirmation of Jehovah!
4 E makaala kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, mai hilinai hoi i kekahi hoahanau; no ka mea, e wahahee loa no kela hoahanau, keia hoahanau; a hele ahiahi no na hoalauna a pau.
Each of his friend — beware ye, And on any brother, do not trust, For every brother doth utterly supplant, For every friend slanderously doth walk,
5 E hoopunipuni no kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, aole olelo i ka mea oiaio; ua maa ko lakou alelo e olelo i na wahahee, hoomaloeloe lakou ia lakou iho e hana i ka hewa.
And each at his friend they mock, And truth they do not speak, They taught their tongue to speak falsehood, To commit iniquity they have laboured.
6 Aia no kou wahi noho ai iwaena konu o ka hoopunipuni; no ka hoopunipuni, hoole mai lakou, aole e ike mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
thy dwelling [is] in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
7 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua peneia. Aia hoi, e hoohehee no wau ia lakou, a e hoao hoi ia lakou; no ka mea, heaha la wau e hana'i no ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka?
Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am refining them, and have tried them, For how do I do because of the daughter of My people?
8 O ko lakou alelo, he pua ia i panaia'ku, olelo no ia i ka hoopunipuni. Olelo oluolu aku kekahi i kona hoalauna me ka waha, aka, ma ka naau, ua hoohalua ia ia.
A slaughtering arrow [is] their tongue, Deceit it hath spoken in its mouth, Peace with its neighbour it speaketh, And in its heart it layeth its ambush,
9 Aole anei au e hoopai ia lakou no keia mau mea, wahi a Iehova? Aole anei e ko ka ukiuki o kuu uhane i ka lahuikanaka e like me keia?
For these things do not I see after them? An affirmation of Jehovah, Against a nation such as this doth not My soul avenge itself?
10 E olo no wau i ka pihe no na mauna, me ka uwe aku, a e kumakena no hoi no na wahi mauu o ka waonahele, no ka mea, ua pau lakou i ke ahi; nolaila, aole hiki kekahi ke hele malaila, aole hoi e loheia ka leo o na holoholona. Ua holo aku no ka manu o ka lewa, a me ka holoholona, ua hala lakou.
For the mountains I lift up weeping and wailing, And for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, For they have been burnt up without any passing over, Nor have they heard the voice of cattle, From the fowl of the heavens unto the beast they have fled, they have gone.
11 A e hoolilo no wau ia Ierusalema i mau puu, he noho ana hoi no na ilio hihiu; a e hooneoneo no wau i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, aohe mea noho iloko.
And I make Jerusalem become heaps, A habitation of dragons, And the cities of Judah I make a desolation, Without inhabitant.
12 Owai ke kanaka akamai i hoomaopopo i keia? A ua olelo hoi ka waha o Iehova ia ia, a nana hoi e hai aku i ka mea i make ai ka aina, a neoneo e like me ka waonahele, i ole e hele ae kekahi maloko?
Who [is] the wise man? and he understandeth this, And he to whom the mouth of Jehovah spake? And he doth declare it, For what hath the land perished? It hath been burnt up as a wilderness, Without any passing through.
13 I mai la o Iehova, No ko lakou haalele ana i ko'u kanawai, i ka mea a'u i kau ai imua o lakou, aole hoi i hoolohe i ko'u leo, aole hoi i hele mamuli o ia;
And Jehovah saith: Because of their forsaking My law that I set before them, And they have not hearkened to My voice nor walked in it,
14 Aka, ua hele lakou mamuli o ka paakiki o ko lakou naau iho, a mamuli o na Baala hoi, na mea a ko lakou poe makua i ao mai ai ia lakou;
And they walk after the stubbornness of their heart, And after the Baalim, that their fathers taught them,
15 Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aia hoi, e hanai aku no wau ia lakou, i keia poe kanaka hoi, i ka awaawa, a e hoohainu aku au ia lakou i ka wai o ke au.
Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am causing them — this people — to eat wormwood, And I have caused them to drink water of gall,
16 A e hoopuehu aku au ia lakou iwaena o ko na aina e, i ka poe i ike ole ia e lakou, aole hoi e ko lakou mau makuaa; e hoouna aku au i ka pahikaua mahope o lakou, a hoopau au ia lakou.
And I have scattered them among nations Which they knew not, they and their fathers, And have sent after them the sword, Till I have consumed them.
17 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, E hoonaauao oukou, a e hea aku i na wahine e olo pihe ana, i hele mai lakou, a e kii aku hoi i na wahine kumakena, i hele mai lakou;
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Consider ye, and call for mourning women, And they come, And to the wise women send, and they come,
18 E hoowikiwiki hoi lakou, a e olo pihe no kakou i kahe ka wai o ko Kakou mau maka, i poha aku hoi ko kakou mau alumaka i na wai.
And they hasten, and lift up for us a wailing. And run down our eyes do tears, And from our eyelids do waters flow.
19 No ka mea, ua loheia ka leo o ka uwe ana, mai Ziona mai, Nani ko kakou lukuia! Ua hilahila loa kakou, no ka mea, ua haalele kakou i ka aina, no ka mea, ua kipaku aku ko kakou wahi noho ai ia kakou.
For — a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: How have we been spoiled! We have been greatly ashamed, Because we have forsaken the land, Because they have cast down our tabernacles.
20 Aka, e hoolohe mai oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, o na wahine, a e lawe hoi ko oukou pepeiao i ka olelo a kona waha, a e ao aku i ka oukou mau kaikamahine i ka uwe ana, a o kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna i ke kumakena ana.
But hear, ye women, a word of Jehovah, And your ear receiveth a word of His mouth, And teach ye your daughters wailing, and each her neighbour lamentation.
21 No ka mea, ua pii mai no ka make, a iloko o ko kakou puka ma kani, ua komo no iloko o ko kakou halealii, e hooki ae ia i na kamalii mawaho, a me ua kanaka opiopio ma ke alanui.
For death hath come up into our windows, It hath come into our palaces, To cut off the suckling from without, Young men from the broad places.
22 E i aku Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E haule no na kupapau o kanaka e like me ka lepo ma ke kula, e like hoi me ka pua ai mahope o ka mea hoiliili ai; aohe mea nana lakou e hoiliili.
Speak thus — an affirmation of Jehovah, And fallen hath the carcase of man, As dung on the face of the field, And as a handful after the reaper, And there is none gathering.
23 Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Mai kaena wale ka mea akamai i kona akamai ana, mai kaena wale hoi ka mea ikaika i kona ikaika ana, a mai kaena ka mea waiwai i kona waiwai ana;
Thus said Jehovah: Let not the wise boast himself in his wisdom, Nor let the mighty boast himself in his might, Let not the rich boast himself in his riches,
24 Aka o ka mea kaena, e kaena oia i keia, i kona hoomaopopo ana, a i kona ike aua ia'u, owau no o Iehova, ka mea hana aku i ka lokomaikai, a me ka hoopono, a me ka maikai ma ka honua; no ka mea, ke lealea nei au ia mau mea, wahi a Iehova.
But — in this let the boaster boast himself, In understanding and knowing Me, For I [am] Jehovah, doing kindness, Judgment, and righteousness, in the earth, For in these I have delighted, An affirmation of Jehovah.
25 Aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la. wahi a Iehova, e hoopai pu aku ai au i ka poe a pau i okipoepoeia me ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia:
Lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have laid a charge on all circumcised in the foreskin,
26 I ko Aigupita, a me ka Iuda a me ka Edoma. a me na keiki a Amona, a me ka Moaba, a me na mea a pau i ako i ka uminmi, ka poe e noho la ma ka waonahelo; no ka mea, ua okipoepoe ole ia ko na aina e a pau, a ua okipoepoe ole ia ko ka hale a pau o ka Iseraela, ma ka maau.
On Egypt, and on Judah, and on Edom, And on the sons of Ammon, and on Moab, And on all cutting the corner [of the beard], Who are dwelling in the wilderness, For all the nations [are] uncircumcised, And all the house of Israel [are] uncircumcised in heart!
