Ieremia 15

1 A LAILA, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ina i ku mai o Mose, a me Samuela imua o'u, aole no e kau ko'u manao ma keia poe kanaka. E kiola ia lakou mai ko'u alo aku, a e puka aku lakou iwaho.

Then said the LORD to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, [yet] my mind [could] not [be] towards this people: cast [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.

2 A ina e olelo mai lakou ia oe, Mahea makou e puka aku ai? Alaila, e olelo oe ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, O ka poe no ka make, i ka make no; a o ka poe no ka pahikaua, i ka pahikaua no; a o ka poe no ka wi, i ka wi no; a o ka poe no ka lawepioia, i ka lawepioia no.

And it shall come to pass, if they say to thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as [are] for death, to death; and such as [are] for the sword, to the sword; and such as [are] for the famine, to the famine; and such as [are] for the captivity, to the captivity.

3 A e hookau aku au maluna o lakou i na mea eha, wahi a Iehova; o ka pahikaua e pepehi; o na ilio e haehae; o na manu o ka lani, a me na holoholona o ka honua, e ai, a e hoopau.

And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.

4 A e haawi no wau e laweia lakou i na aina a pau o ka honua nei, no Manase, ke keiki a Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, no ka mea ana i hana'i ma Ierusalema.

And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for [that] which he did in Jerusalem.

5 No ka mea, owai ka mea aloha aku ia oe, e Ierusalema? Owai ka mea kumakena ia oe? Owai auanei ka mea e huli ae, e ninau i kou noho ana?

For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask concerning thy welfare?

6 Ua haalele mai oe ia'u, wahi a Iehova, ua hoi hope oe. Nolaila, e kikoo ku e aku au i ko'u lima ia oe, a e luku ia oe; no ka mea, ua uluhua wau i ka mihi ana.

Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.

7 E hoolulu aku au ia lakou i ka peahi lulu ma na pukapa o ka aina; e hoonele au ia lakou i na keiki, e luku aku no au i ko'u poe kanaka; aole lakou i huli, mai ko lakou aoao mai.

And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave [them] of children, I will destroy my people, [since] they return not from their ways.

8 E oi aku ka nui o ko lakou wahinekanemake ia'u i ko ke one o ke kai. I ke awakea, e hoopuka no au maluna o lakou, maluna hoi o ka makuwahine o ka poe ui, i poe luku. E hoopuka no au maluna ona me ka hoohikilele ka makau a me ka weliweli.

Their widows are multiplied to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noon-day: I have caused [him] to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.

9 Mae wale aku ka mea i hanau i na mea ehiku, e kaili ana ke ea. Ua napoo kona la i ke ao okoa; ua hilahila oia, ua hoopalaimaka hoi. A e haawi no wau i ke koena o lakou i ka pahikaua imua o ko lakou poe enemi, wahi a Iehova.

She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath resigned her breath; her sun is gone down while [it was] yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

10 Auwe hoi au, e kuu makuwahine, no ka mea, ua hanau mai oe ia'u, he kanaka hakaka, he kanaka paio no ko ka honua a pau! Aole au i hoolimalima kala ma ke kuala, aole hoi i aie kala ma ke kuala; aka, ke hailiili mai nei kela mea keia mea o lakou ia'u.

Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor have men lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me.

11 I mai la o Iehova, He oiaio, e pomaikai ana kou poe i koe; oiaio, na'u no e mea aku, a e hana maikai ae ka enemi ia oe i ka manawa poino, a i ka manawa popilikia.

The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to treat thee [well] in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

12 Na ka hao anei e uhaki i ka hao o ke kukulu akau, a me ke keleawe?

Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?

13 A e haawi no wau i kou waiwai, a me kou ukana, no ka hoopio me ka uku ole ia mai, a oia hoi no kou hewa a pau, a aia no ia ma kou mau mokuna a pau.

Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and [that] for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.

14 A na'u no e hoohele ia oe, me kou poe enemi a iloko o ka aina au i ike ole ai; no ka mea, ua hoaia ke ahi i kuu inaina, a e a no ia maluna o oukou.

And I will make [thee] to pass with thy enemies into a land [which] thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in my anger, [which] shall burn upon you.

15 E Iehova, ua ike no oe: e hoomanao mai oe ia'u, a e ike mai hoi ia'u, a e hooponopono mai oe ia'u i ka poe hoomaau mai ia'u. Mai lawe aku oe ia'u, i kou ahonui ana. E ike oe, nou no wau i kaikai ai i ka hilahila.

O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy long-suffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.

16 Ua loaa no kau mau olelo, a ai no wau ia mau mea; a lilo kau olelo ia'u i mea olioli, a i mea hoi e hauoli ai ko'u naau: no ka mea, ua kapaia wau ma kou inoa, E Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua.

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

17 Aole au i noho ma ka aha o ka poe hoowahawaha, aole hoi au i olioli; noho kaawale au, no kou lima; no ka mea, ua hoopiha mai oe ia'u i ka ukiukiia.

I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

18 No ke aha la i mau ai ko'u eha, a ola ole hoi ko'u hahauia, a hoole hoi i ka hoolaia? E lilo anei oe ia'u e like loa me na wai hoopunipuni, mau ole?

Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, [which] refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether to me as a liar, [and as] waters [that] fail?

19 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Ina hoi mai oe, alaila, e hoihoi mai no wau ia oe, a e ku no oe imua o'u: a ina e lawe aku oe i ka mea pono, mai ka mea hewa aku, alaila, e like auanei no oe me ko'u waha. E hoi mai lakou ia oe, aka, mai hoi aku oe ia lakou.

Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou shalt return, then will I bring thee again, [and] thou shalt stand before me: and if thou shalt separate the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return to thee; but return not thou to them.

20 A e hoolilo wau ia oe i pa keleawe paa loa no keia poe kanaka; a e kaua mai no lakou ia oe, aka, aole lakou e lanakila mai maluna ou; no ka mea, owau pu no me oe, e hoola ia oe, a e hoopakele ia oe, wahi a Iehova.

And I will make thee to this people a fortified brazen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I [am] with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

21 A e hoopakele aku au ia oe, mai ka lima aku o ka poe hewa, a e hoolapanai aku au ia oe, mai loko aku o ka lima o ka poe hooweliweli.

And I will deliver thee from the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee from the hand of the terrible.
