< Jeremiah 14 >

1 The Word of the Lord that came to Jeremias concerning the words of the drought.
KA olelo a Iehova i hiki mai io Ieremia la no ka wi.
2 Judea hath mourned, and the gates thereof are fallen, and are become obscure on the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Ke kanikau nei o ka Iuda, a kumakena hoi kona mau pukapa; ua eleele hoi a ilalo i ka lepo; ua pii aku la no ka uwe ana o ko Ierusalema.
3 The great ones sent their inferiors to the water: they came to draw, they found no water, they carried back their vessels empty: they were confounded and afflicted, and covered their heads.
O kolaila poe koikoi, ua hoouna lakou i ka lakou poe uuku e kii i ka wai; ua hele mai hoi lakou i na luawai, aole loaa ia lakou ka wai: hoi aku no lakou, aohe mea iloko o ko lakou hue. Hilahila iho la lakou, a hoopalaimaka, a pulou iho la i ko lakou mau poo.
4 For the destruction of the land, because there came no rain upon the earth, the husbandmen were confounded, they covered their heads.
No ka mea, ua nakaka ka lepo, no ka na ole maluna o ka honua. Ua hilahila ka poe mahiai, ua pulou lakou i ko lakou mau poo.
5 Yea, the hind also brought forth in the field, and left it, because there was no grass.
Oia, hanau ae la ka dia ma ke kula, a haalele iho la, no ka mea, aohe mauu.
6 And the wild asses stood upon the rocks, they snuffed up the wind like dragons, their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
Ku mai la hoi na hoki hihiu ma na wahi kiekie; hau ae la lakou i ka makani e like me na iliohae; pau iho la no hoi ko lakou mau maka no ka mea, aohe mauu.
7 If our iniquities have testified against us, O Lord, do thou it for thy name’s sake, for our rebellions are many, we have sinned against thee.
E Iehova, ke hoike ku e mai nei ko makou hewa ia makou, aka, e hana mai oe no kou inoa iho; no ka mea, ua nui loa ko makou hoi hope ana, ua hana hewa makou ia oe.
8 O expectation of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble: why wilt thou be a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man turning in to lodge?
E ka mea e manaolana'i o ka Iseraela, o kona Hoola i ka manawa o ka popilikia, no ke aha la oe e like ai me ka malihini maloko o ka aina, a e like hoi me ke kanaka hele, i kipa'e e moe i kekahi po?
9 Why wilt thou be as a wandering man, as a mighty man that cannot save? but thou, O Lord, art among us, and thy name is called upon by us, forsake us not.
No ke aha la oe e like ai me ke kanaka pilihua, e like hoi me ke kanaka koa hiki ole ke hoola? Aka, o oe, e Iehova, eia no oe iwaenakonu o makou, a ua kapaia makou ma kou inoa; mai haalele oe ia makou.
10 Thus saith the Lord to his people, that have loved to move their feet, and have not rested, and have not pleased the Lord: He will now remember their iniquities, and visit their sins.
Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova i keia poe kanaka, ua makemake no lakou e hele hewa pela, aole lakou i kaohi i ko lakou mau wawae; nolaila, aole i ae mai o Iehova ia lakou; e hoomanao no oia i ko lakou hewa, a e hoopai hoi i ko lakou hala.
11 And the Lord said to me: Pray not for this people for their good.
Alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Mai pule aku oe no keia poe kanaka, no ka maikai.
12 When they fast I will not hear their prayers: and if they offer holocausts and victims, I will not receive them: for I will consume them by the sword, and by famine, and by the pestilence.
Ia lakou e hookeai ai, aole au e hoolohe i ko lakou kahea ana; a ia lakou e kaumaha'i i ka mohai kuni, a me ka mohai makana, aole au e ae aku ia lakou; aka, e hoopau no wau ia lakou i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau.
13 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, the prophets say to them: You shall not see the sword, and there shall be no famine among you, but he will give you true peace in this place.
Alaila, i iho la au, Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova e! Aia hoi, ke olelo mai nei na kaula ia lakou, Aole oukou e ike i ka pahikaua, aole hoi e loaa ia oukou ka wi; aka, e haawi aku no au ia oukou i ka malu oiaio ma keia wahi.
14 And the Lord said to me: The prophets prophesy falsely in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, nor have I spoken to them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination and deceit, and the seduction of their own heart.
Alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ke wanana nei na kaula i ka wahahee ma ko'u inoa. Aole au i hoouna aku ia lakou, aole hoi au i kauoha aku la ia lakou, aole hoi au i olelo ia lakou. Ke wanana nei lakou ia oukou i hihio wahahee, a me ka anaana, a me ka mea hope ole, a me ka wahahee o ko lakou naau.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophecy in my name, whom I did not send, that say: Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, no na kaula, ka poe i wanana ma ko'u inoa, aole hoi au i hoouna aku ia lakou; aka, ke olelo nei lakou, Aole e hiki mai ka pahikaua, aole hoi ka wi iloko o keia aina: E hoopauia ua poe kaula la, i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi.
16 And the people to whom they prophecy, shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword, and there shall be none to bury them: they and their wives, their sons and their daughters, and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.
A o na kanaka a lakou i ao aku ai i ka wanana ana, e kiolaia'ku no lakou iloko o na alanui o Ierusalema, no ka wi, a me ka pahikaua; aohe o lakou mea nana lakou e kanu, o lakou, a me ka lakou wahine, aole hoi ka lakou keikikane, aole ka lakou kaikamahine; no ka mea, e ninini aku au i ko lakou hewa maluna o lakou.
17 And thou shalt speak this word to them: Let my eyes shed down tears night and day, and let them not cease, because the virgin daughter of my people is afflicted with a great affliction, with an exceeding grievous evil.
Nolaila, e olelo aku oe i keia olelo ia lakou; E kahe no ko'u mau maka i ka wai, i ka po a me ke ao, aole hoi laua e hooki; no ka mea, ua lukuia i ka luku nui ke kaikamahine puupaa o ko'u poe kanaka, i ka hahau ino loa.
18 If I go forth into the fields, behold the slain with the sword: and if I enter into the city, behold them that are consumed with famine. The prophet also and the priest are gone into a land which they knew not.
Ina e hele aku au i ke kula, alaila, e nana i ka poe i lukuia i ka pahikaua! a ina komo wau iloko o ke kulanakauhale, alaila, e nana aku i ka poe i mai no ka wi! Oia, kaahele aku no ke kaula, a me ke kahuna iloko o ka aina a lakou i ike ole ai.
19 Hast thou utterly cast away Juda, or hath thy soul abhorred Sion? why then hast thou struck us, so that there is no healing for us? we have looked for peace, and there is no good: and for the time of healing, and behold trouble.
Ua hoole loa anei oe i ka Iuda? Ua hoopailua anei kou uhane ia Ziona? No ke aha la oe i pepehi mai ai ia makou, aole hoi he hoola no makou? Kakali makou i ka malu, aole hoi he pono: a i ka hoola hoi, aia hoi, he popilikia!
20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, the iniquities of our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
E Iehova, ua ike no makou i ko makou hewa, a me ka hala o ko makou poe makua; no ka mea, ua hana hewa aku makou ia oe.
21 Give us not to be a reproach, for thy name’s sake, and do not disgrace in us the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
Mai hoowahawaha mai oe, no kou inoa iho, mai hoino oe i ka nohoalii o kou nani. E hoomanao, mai uhai oe i kou berita me makou.
22 Are there any among the graven things of the Gentiles that can send rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou the Lord our God, whom we have looked for? for thou hast made all these things.
Aia anei iwaena o na mea lapuwale o na aina e kekahi mea hooua mai i ka ua? E hiki anei i na lani ke haawi mai i ka ua? Aole anei o oe ia, e Iehova, ko makou Akua? Nolaila makou e hilinai aku ai ia oe; no ka mea, ua hana oe i keia mau mea a pau.
