Ieremia 23
1 A UWE ka poe kahu i luku, a hoopuehu i ka poe hipa o ko'u kihapai! wahi a Iehova.
Woe to the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of their pasture!
2 Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, no na kahu, ka poe hanai i ko'u poe kanaka; Ua hoopuehu oukou i ka'u poe hipa, a ua kipaku ia lakou, aole i hele mai e ike ia lakou; aia hoi, e hoopai no wau maluna o oukou, i ka hewa o ka oukou hana ana, wahi a Iehova.
Therefore thus says the Lord against them that tend my people; You have scattered my sheep, and driven them out, and you have not visited them: behold, I [will] take vengeance upon you according to your evil practices.
3 A e hoiliili no wau i ke koena o ka'u poe hipa, mai na aina a pau mai, kahi a'u i hookuke aku ai ia lakou, a e hoihoi hou mai au ia lakou iloko o ko lakou mau pa: a e kawowo lakou, a mahuahua aku.
And I will gather in the remnant of my people in every land, whither I have driven them out, and will set them in their pasture; and they shall increase and be multiplied.
4 A e hoonoho wau i kahu maluna o'lakou, he poe hanai aku ia lakou; aole lakou e makau hou, aole e weliweli, aole hoi lakou e hoopai hou ia, wahi a Iehova.
And I will raise up shepherds to them, who shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be alarmed, says the Lord.
5 Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, o hoala no wau no Davida, i Oha pono, i Alii e noho aupuni, a e pomaikai auanei, a e hana no oia i ka hooponopono, a i ka pololei ma ka honua.
Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will raise up to David a righteous branch, and a king shall reign and understand, and shall execute judgment and righteousness on the earth.
6 I kona mau la e hoolaia o ka Iuda, a e noho maluhia o ka Iseraela, a eia hoi kona inoa e kapaia mai ai, O IEHOVA KO KAKOU PONO.
In his days both Juda shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell securely: and this is his name, which the Lord shall call him, Josedec among the prophets.
7 Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, aole lakou e olelo hou mai, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai ka poe mamo a Iseraela, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai;
Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The Lord lives, who brought up the house of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 Aka, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai, alakai hoi i na hua o ka hale o ka Iseraela, mai ka aina o ko kukulu akau mai, a mai na aina a pau mai, kahi a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou; a e noho no lakou ma ko lakou aina iho.
but The Lord lives, who has gathered the whole seed of Israel from the north land, and from all the countries whither he [had] driven them out, and has restored them into their own land.
9 Ua nahae ko'u naau iloko o'u no na kaula, haalulu no hoi ko'u mau iwi a pau. Ua like no au me ke kanaka i ona, a like hoi me ke kanaka i lanakilaia e ka waina, no Iehova, a no na huaolelo o kona Hemolele.
My heart is broken within me; all my bones are shaken: I am become as a broken-down man, and as a man overcome with wine, because of the Lord, and because of the excellence of his glory.
10 No ka mea, ua piha ka aina i ka poe moekolohe; no ka mea, ke kumakena nei ka aina, no ka hoohiki ino aua: ua maloo hoi na wahi maikai o ka waonahele; ua hewa ko lakou holo ana, aole hoi i pono ko lakou ikaika.
For because of these things the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course is become evil, and so [also] their strength.
11 No ka mea, ua aia no ke kaula, a me ke kahuna, oia, ua loaa no ia'u ko lakou hewa maloko o ko'u hale, wahi a Iehova.
For priest and prophet are defiled; and I have seen their iniquities in my house.
12 Nolaila, e like auanei ko lakou aoao ia lakou, me kahi pahee maloko o ka pouli; e kipakuia'ku la no lakou, a e haule iloko olaila; no ka mea, e lawe no wau i ka hewa maluna o lakou, i ka makahiki hoi o ko lakou hoopaiia, wahi a Iehova.
Therefore let their way be to them slippery and dark: and they shall be tripped up and fall in it: for I will bring evils upon them, in the year of their visitation.
13 Ua ike no au i ka lapuwale maloko o na kaula o Samaria, a wanana ae lakou ma o Baala la, a alakai hewa iho la i ko'u poe kanaka, i ka Iseraela.
And in the prophets of Samaria I have seen lawless deeds; they prophesied by Baal, and led my people Israel astray.
14 Ua ike no hoi au i ka mea inoino loa iloko o na kaula o Ierusalema; moe kolohe no lakou, a hele ma ka wahahee. Hooikaika no hoi lakou i na lima o ka poe hana hewa, i hoi ole mai kekahi, mai kona hewa mai. Ua like no lakou a pau ia'u me ko Sodoma, a o ka poe hoi e noho ana malaila, ua like no me ko Gomora.
Also in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen horrible things: as they committed adultery, and walked in lies, and strengthened the hands of many, that they should not return each from his evil way: they are all become to me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrha.
15 Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, no na kaula; Aia hoi, e hanai aku au ia lakou i ka laau awaawa, a e hoohainu aku au ia lakou i ka wai o ke au; no ka mea, mai na kaula o Ierusalema aku i hele aku ai ka aia, a i ka aina a pau.
Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I will feed them with pain, and give them bitter water to drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem has defilement gone forth [into] all the land.
16 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, Mai hoolohe oukou i na olelo a na kaula, ka poe wanana mai ia oukou. Hoolilo no lakou ia oukou i mea lapuwale; hai mai no lakou i ka hihio o ko lakou naau iho, aole mai ka waha o Iehova mai.
Thus says the Lord Almighty, Listen not to the words of the prophets: for they frame a vain vision for themselves; they speak from their own heart, and not from the mouth of the Lord.
17 Ke olelo ikaika mai nei lakou i ka poe hoowahawaha mai ia'u, Ua olelo mai o Iehova, E loaa ia oukou ka maluhia: a olelo no hoi lakou i kela mea i keia mea i hele mamuli o ka paakiki o kona naau iho, Aohe hewa e hiki mai ana maluna o oukou.
They say to them that reject the word of the Lord, There shall be peace to you; and to all that walk after their own lusts, and to everyone that walks in the error of his heart, they have said, No evil shall come upon you.
18 No ka mea, owai ka mea i ku ma ka ahaolelo o Iehova, a ike aku la, a lohe i kana olelo? Owai ka mea i haliu aku i kana olelo a lohe?
For who has stood in the counsel of the Lord, and seen his word? who has listened, and heard?
19 Aia hoi, he puahiohio no Iehova ka i puka mai me ka huhu, he puahiohio nui loa; e haule ino no ia maluna o ke poo o ka poe hewa.
Behold, [there is] an earthquake from the Lord, and anger proceeds to a convulsion, it shall come violently upon the ungodly.
20 Aole e hoi hou aku ka huhu o Iehova, a hooko oia, a hana io i ka manao o kona naau. I na la mahope, e hoomaopopo loa oukou ia mea.
And the Lord's wrath shall return no more, until he have accomplished it, and until he have established it, according to the purpose of his heart: at the end of the days they shall understand it.
21 Aole au i hoouna aku i keia poe kaula, ua holo nae lakou; aole au i olelo ia lakou, aka, ua wanana ae lakou.
I sent not the prophets, yet they ran: neither spoke I to them, yet they prophesied.
22 Aka, ina i ku lakou maloko o ka'u ahaolelo; ina ua hana aku i ko'u poe kanaka e lohe i ka'u mau olelo, ina ua hoohuli hoi lakou i kela poo, mai ko lakou aoao hewa mai, a mai ka hewa mai hoi o ka lakou hana ana.
But if they had stood in my counsel, and if they had listened to my words, then would they have turned my people from their evil practices.
23 He Akua kokoke nei au, wahi a Iehova, aole hoi he Akua ma kahi loihi aku?
I am a God near at hand, says the Lord, and not a God afar off.
24 E huna anei kekahi ia ia iho ma na wahi malu, i ike ole aku ai au ia ia, wahi a Iehova? Aole anei au i hoopiha i ka lani, a me ka honua? wahi a Iehova.
Shall any one hide himself in secret places, and I not see him? Do I not fill heaven and earth? says the Lord.
25 Ua lohe no wau i na mea a na kaula i olelo ai, ka poe i wanana wahahee ma ko'u inoa, me ka olelo iho, Ua moeuhane au, ua moeuhane au.
I have heard what the prophets say, what they prophesy in my name, saying falsely, I have seen a night vision.
26 Pehea la ka loihi o ka noho ana o keia iloko o ka naau o na kaula, ka poe wanana wahahee? Oia, he poe kaula lakou no ka hoopunipuni o ko lakou naau iho;
How long shall [these things] be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, when they prophesy the purposes of their own heart?
27 He poe manao e haawi i ko'u poe kanaka i ka hoopoina i ko'u inoa, no ko lakou mau moeuhane, na mea a kela mea keia mea o lakou i hai ae i kona hoalauna, e like me ko lakou poe makua i hoopoina i ko'u inoa ma o Baala la.
who devise that [men] may forget my law by their dreams, which they have told every one to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name in [the worship of] Baal.
28 O ke kaula moeuhane, e hai ae oia i ka moeuhane; a o ka mea ia ia ka'u olelo, e hai pololei oia i ka'u olelo. Heaha ke aa i ka palaoa, wahi a Iehova?
The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream; and [he] in whom is my word [spoken] to him, let him tell my word truly: what is the chaff to the corn? so are my words, says the Lord.
29 Aole anei i like ka'u olelo me ke ahi? wahi a Iehova; a like hoi me ka hamare, ka mea e nahaha ai ka pohaku?
Behold, are not my words as fire? says the Lord; and as an axe cutting the rock?
30 Nolaila au e ku e nei i na kaula, wahi a Iehova, na mea aihue i ka'u mau olelo, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka kona hoalauna.
Behold, I am therefore against the prophets, says the Lord God, that steal my words every one from his neighbor.
31 Aia hoi, ke ku e nei au i na kaula, wahi a Iehova, ka poe hana me ko lakou alelo, a olelo mai, Ke i mai nei oia.
Behold, I am against the prophets that put forth prophecies of mere words, and slumber their sleep.
32 Aia hoi, ke ku e nei au i ka poe wanana iho i na moeuhane wahahee, wahi a Iehova, a hai ae ia mau mea, a alakai hewa i ko'u poe kanaka, i ka lakou mau mea wahahee, a i ka lakou kaena ana: aole nae au i hoouna ia lakou, aole i kauoha aku ia lakou: nolaila, aole lakou e hoopomaikai iki i keia poe kanaka, wahi a Iehova.
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets that prophesy false dreams, and have not told them [truly], and have caused my people to err by their lies, and by their errors; yet I sent them not, and commanded them not; therefore, they shall not profit this people at all.
33 A hiki i ka manawa e ninau mai ai ia oe, o keia poe kanaka, a o ke kaula paha, a o ke kahuna paha, a olelo mai, Heaha ka wanana a Iehova? Alaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou, O ka wanana hea? E haalele no wau ia oukou, wahi a Iehova.
And if this people, or the priest, or the prophet, should ask, What is the burden of the Lord? then you shall say to them, You are the burden, and I will dash you down, says the Lord.
34 A o ke kaula, a o ke kahuna, a o ka lahuikanaka e olelo, Ka wanana a Iehova, na'u no e hoopai aku i kela kanaka, a me ko kona hale.
[As for] the prophet, and the priests, and the people, who shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even take vengeance on that man, and on his house.
35 Penei oukou e olelo ai, o kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, o kela mea keia mea i kona hoahanau; Heaha ka Iehova i pane mai ai? a heaha hoi ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
Thus shall you say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What has the Lord answered? and, what has the Lord said?
36 A mai hai hou oukou i ka wanana a Iehova; no ka mea, o ka olelo a kela kanaka keia kanaka, oia kana wanana: no ka mea, ua hoololi oukou i na olelo a ke Akua ola, o Iehova o na kaua, o ko kakou Akua.
And do you name no more the burden of the Lord; for his own word shall be a man's burden.
37 Penei oe o olelo aku ai i ke kaula, Heaha ka Iehova i pane mai ai ia oe? a heaha hoi ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
But therefore, [say you], has the Lord our God spoken?
38 Aka, no ka oukou olelo ana, Ka wanana a Iehova; nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova; No ka oukou olelo ana mai i keia olelo, Ka wanana a Iehova, a ua hoouna aku au ia oukou, me ka i iho, Mai olelo oukou, Ka wanana a Iehova;
Therefore thus says the Lord our God; Because you have spoken this word, The burden of the Lord, and I sent to you, saying, you shall not say, The burden of the Lord;
39 Nolaila, wau no, e hoopoina loa no wau ia oukou, a e haalele no wau ia oukou, a me ke kulanakauhale a'u i haawi aku ai ia oukou, a me ko oukou poe kupuna, a e lilo auanei oukou mai ko'u alo aku.
therefore, behold, I [will] seize, and dash down you and the city which I gave to you and your fathers.
40 A e haawi no wau ia oukou, i mea hoowahawaha mau loa, a i hilahila pau ole, aole hoi e poinaia.
And I will bring upon you an everlasting reproach, and everlasting disgrace, which shall not be forgotten.
