< Ieremia 1 >

1 NA olelo a Ieremia, ke keiki a Hilikia, no na kahuna ma Anetota, ma ka aina o ka Beniamina:
The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
2 Hiki mai no ka olelo a Iehova io na la, i na la o Iosia i ke keiki a Amona, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka makahiki umikumamakolu o kona noho aupuni ana:
To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 A i na la o Iehoikima ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a hiki i ka pau ana o ka makahiki umikumakahi o Zedekia ke keiki o Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a hiki i ka lawe pio ia ana aku o ko Ierusalema, i ka lima o ka malama.
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
4 Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
5 Mamua aku o ka'u hana ana ia oe iloko o ka opu, ike aku no au ia oe; a mamua aku o kou puka ana mawaho mai o ka opu, hoolaa aku au ia oe, a hoolilo no au ia oe i kaula no na lahuikanaka.
Before I formed thee in the womb I knew thee; and before thou wast born I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet to the nations.
6 Alaila, i iho la au, Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova! aia hoi, aole au i ike i ka olelo, no ka mea, he keiki no wau.
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7 Aka, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Mai olelo oe, He keiki no wau; no ka mea, e hele aku no oe i ka poe a pau a'u e hoouna aku ai ia oe, a o ka mea a'u e kauoha aku ai ia oe, o kau ia e olelo aku ai.
But the LORD said to me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8 Mai makau i ko lakou maka; no ka mea, owau pu no me oe, e hoopakele ia oe, wahi a Iehova.
Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
9 Hohola mai o Iehova i kona lima, a hoopa iho la i ko'u waha; a olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Aia hoi, ua haawi aku au i ka'u mau olelo iloko o kou waha.
Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 E nana hoi, ua hoolilo wau ia oe i keia la, maluna o na lahuikanaka a me na aupuni, e uhuki, a e wawahi, a e luku, a e hoohiolo, e kukulu, a e kanu no hoi.
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
11 A hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la, E Ieremia, heaha kau e ike nei? I aku la au, ke ike nei au i kookoo o ka laau alamona.
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
12 Alaila, i mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ua pono kou ike ana; no ka mea, e kiai no wau i ka'u olelo, e hooko ia.
Then said the LORD to me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
13 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, o ka lua ia, i mai la, Heaha kau e ike nei? I aku la au, Ke ike nei au i ka ipuhao e lapalapa ana, a mai ke kukuluakau mai ka huli ana o ka waha.
And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a boiling pot; and its face is toward the north.
14 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Mai ke kukuluakau mai e puka mai ai ka hewa maluna o ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ka aina.
Then the LORD said to me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 No ka mea, aia hoi, e hea aku no wau i na ohana a pau o na aupuni ma ke kukuluakau, wahi a Iehova; a e hele mai no lakou, a e hoonoho kela mea keia mea o lakou i kona nohoalii ma kahi e komo aku ai i na pukapa o Ierusalema, a ma na pa a pau e puni ana ia wahi, a ma na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Iuda.
For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls on every side, and against all the cities of Judah.
16 A e hai aku no au i ko'u hoopai ana ia lakou, no ko lakou hewa a pau, i ka poe i haalele mai ia'u, a i kuni i ka mea ala no na'kua e, a hoomana i ka hana a ko lakou lima iho.
And I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
17 Nolaila, e kakoo oe i kou puhaka, a e ku mai, a e olelo ia lakou i na mea a pau a'u e kauoha aku ai ia oe. Mai makau oe i ko lakou maka, o hoohilahila aku au ia oe imua o lakou.
Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
18 No ka mea, aia hoi, ua hana aku au ia oe i keia la i kulanakauhale paa, a i kia hao, a i mau pa keleawe no ka aina a pau, a no na alii o ka Iuda, a no ko lakou mau luna, a no ko lakou mau kahuna, a no na kanaka o ka aina.
For, behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
19 A e kaua mai no lakou ia oe, aole nae lakou e lanakila maluna ou, no ka mea, owau pu no me oe, e hoopakele ia oe, wahi a Iehova.
And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
