Ieremia 5
1 E HOLOHOLO oukou ma na alanui o Ierusalema, a e nana, a e hoomaopopo, a e imi ma kolaila wahi akea, ina paha e loaa ia oukou ke kanaka, ina he mea hana i ka pono, a imi i ka oiaio; a na'u e kala aku i ka hala ona.
Run ye about in the streets of Jerusalem, and see, and know, and seek in her broad places, if ye can find [one], if there is any one that does judgment, and seeks faithfulness; and I will pardon them, saith the Lord.
2 A ina paha lakou e olelo, Ke ola la no Iehova; malaila no lakou i hoohiki wahahee ai.
The Lord lives, they say; do they not therefore swear falsely?
3 E Iehova e, aole anei kou mau maka ma ka oiaio? Ua hahau no oe ia lakou, aole nae lakou i uwe. Ua hoopau no oe ia lakou, aka, ua hoole lakou, aole lakou e hoonaauao: a ua hana lakou i ko lakou maka a oi ka paakiki i ko ka pohaku; ua hoole lakou, aole e hoi mai.
O Lord, thine eyes are upon faithfulness: thou hast scourged them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them; but they would not receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; and they would not return.
4 A olelo no hoi au, He poe ilihune lakou, ua naaupo hoi; no ka mea, aole lakou i ike i ka aoao o Iehova, aole hoi i ka pono o ko lakou Akua.
Then I said, It may be they are poor; for they are weak, for they know not the way of the Lord, or the judgment of God.
5 E hele aku no au i na kanaka koikoi, a e olelo aku ia lakou; no ka mea, ua ike lakou i ka aoao o Iehova, i ka pono hoi o ko lakou Akua: aka, o keia poe, ua uhaki loa lakou i ka auamo, ua moku ia lakou na kaula e paa ai.
I will go to the rich men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of God: but, behold, with one consent they have broken the yoke, they have burst the bonds.
6 Nolaila, na ka liona mai ka ululaau mai e luku ia lakou, a na ka iliohae o ke ahiahi e anai ia lakou; a na ka leopadi e kiai i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale: o kela mea keia mea o lakou e puka aku iwaho, e haehaeia no; no ka mea, ua nui loa ka lakou hana hewa ana, a ua hoomahuahuaia ko lakou hoihope ana.
Therefore has a lion out of the forest smitten them, and a wolf has destroyed them even to [their] houses, and a leopard has watched against their cities: all that go forth from them shall be hunted: for they have multiplied their ungodliness, they have strengthened themselves in their revoltings.
7 Pehea la wau e kala'i i keia hewa nou? Ua haalele kau mau keiki ia'u, a ua hoohiki lakou ma na mea akua ole. Hanai aku la au ia lakou a maona, alaila, moe kolohe iho la lakou, a hoakoakoa lakou me ka lehulehu ma na hale o na wahine hookamakama.
In what [way] shall I forgive thee for these things? Thy sons have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: and I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and lodged in harlots' houses.
8 Holoholo lakou e like me na lio i hanai maikai ia; uhuuhu kela mea keia mea o lakou i ka wahine a kona hoalauna.
They became as wanton horses: they neighed each one after his neighbour's wife.
9 Aole anei au e hoopai i keia mau mea? wahi a Iehova. Aole anei e ko ka inaina o kuu uhane i ka lahuikanaka e like me neia?
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this.
10 E pii aku oukou maluna o kona mau pa, a e luku aku; mai hooki loa nae; e lawe aku i kona mau puupuu kaua, no ka mea, aole no Iehova ia mau mea.
Go up upon her battlements, and break [them] down; but make not a full end: leave her buttresses: for they are the Lord's.
11 No ka mea, ua hana wahahee loa mai ia'u ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, a me ko ka hale o Iuda, wahi a Iehova.
For the house of Israel have indeed dealt treacherously against me, saith the Lord: the house of Juda also
12 Ua hoole lakou ia Iehova, a ua olelo iho, Aole ia, aole e hiki mai ka hewa maluna o makou, aole hoi e ike makou i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi.
have lied to their Lord, and they have said, These things are not so; no evils shall come upon us; and we shall not see sword or famine.
13 A e lilo auanei na kaula i makani, aole iloko o lakou ka olelo; pela e hanaia'i io lakou la.
Our prophets became wind, and the word of the Lord was not in them.
14 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, peneia, No ka oukou olelo ana i keia olelo, aia hoi, e hoolilo no wau i ka'u mau olelo iloko o kou waha, i ahi, a o keia poe kanaka i wahie, a e hoopau ia ia lakou.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Almighty, Because ye have spoken this word, behold, I have made my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15 Aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau maluna o oukou, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, i ka lahuikanaka, mai kahi mamao aku mai, wahi a Iehova; he lahuikanaka ikaika, he lahuikanaka kahiko, he lahuikanaka, aole oe i ike i ka lakou olelo, aole hoi i hoomaopopo i ka mea a lakou e olelo mai ai.
Behold, I [will] bring upon you a nation from far, O house of Israel, saith the Lord; a nation the sound of whose language one shall not understand.
16 O ko lakou aapua, he lua kupapau hamama ia, he poe kanaka ikaika lakou a pau.
[They are] all mighty men:
17 A e ai no lakou i kau ai, a me kau palaoa i hoiliiliia i mea na kau poe keiki kane, a na kau poo kaikamahine e ai ai: e ai no lakou i kau poe hipa, a me kau poe bipi; e ai no lakou i kou mau kumuwaina, a me kou laau fiku; e anai aku no lakou ma ka pahikaua, i kou mau kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, i na mea au i hilinai ai.
and they shall devour your harvest, and your bread; and shall devour your sons, and your daughters; and they shall devour your sheep, and your calves, and devour your vineyards, and your fig-plantations, and your olive yards: and they shall utterly destroy your strong cities, wherein ye trusted, with the sword.
18 Aka, i kela mau la, wahi a Iehova, aole au e hooki loa ia oukou.
And it shall come to pass in those days, saith the Lord thy God, that I will not utterly destroy you.
19 A i ka wa e olelo mai ai oukou, No ke aha la i hana mai ai o Iehova, ko makou Akua, i keia mau mea a pau ia makou? Alaila, e i aku oe ia lakou, E like me oukou i haalele mai ai ia'u, a hookauwa aku na na akua e, ma ko oukou aina, pela no oukou e hookanwa aku ai na na kanaka e, ma ka aina aole no oukou.
And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore has the Lord our God done all these things to us? that thou shalt say to them, Because ye served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
20 E hai aku i keia maloko o ka hale o ka Iakoba, a e hoolaha aku hoi ma ka Iuda, e i aku,
Proclaim these things to the house of Jacob, and let them be heard in the house of Juda.
21 E hoolohe mai oukou i keia, e ka lahuikanaka lapuwale, a naauao ole; ka poe mea maka, a ike ole, ka poe mea pepeiao, a lohe ole;
Hear ye now these things, O foolish and senseless people; who have eyes, and see not; and have ears, and hear not:
22 Aole anei oukou e makau mai ia'u? wahi a Iehova; aole anei oukou e haalulu imua o ko'u alo, ka mea i hoonoho i ke one i mokuna no ke kai, mamuli o ka manao paa mau loa, i pii ole ia a kela aoao: a ina hooleilei kona mau ale, aole hiki ia lakou ke pii, a ina halulu mai, aole no lakou e hele mai i keia aoao?
will ye not be afraid of me? saith the Lord; and will ye not fear before me, who have set the sand for a bound to the sea, [as] a perpetual ordinance, and it shall not pass it: yea, it shall rage, but not prevail; and its waves shall roar, but not pass over it.
23 Aka, o keia poe kanaka, he naau kipi ku e ko lakou; ua kipi no lakou, a ua lilo.
But this people has a disobedient and rebellious heart; and they have turned aside and gone back:
24 Aole nae lakou i olelo ma ko lakou naau, Ano, e makau aku kakou ia Iehova, i ko kakou Akua, i ka mea i haawi mai i ka ua, i ka ua mua, a me ka ua hope i kona manawa pono; a hookoe hoi no kakou i na hobedoma e hoiliili ai.
and they have not said in their heart, Let us fear now the Lord our God, who gives us the early and latter rain, according to the season of the fulfillment of the ordinance of harvest, and has preserved [it] for us.
25 Na ko oukou hewa i hoohuli aku i keia mau mea, a na ko oukou hala i hoopaa i na mea maikai, i loaa ole ia oukou.
Your transgressions have turned away these things, and your sins have removed good things from you.
26 Ua loaa no na mea hewa iwaena o ko'u poe kanaka; kiai malu lakou, e like me ke kulou ana o ka mea hoopahele manu; kau no lakou i ka upiki, a paa no na kanaka ia lakou.
For among my people were found ungodly men; and they have set snares to destroy men, and have caught [them].
27 E like me na hinai manu i piha i na manu, pela no ka piha ana o ko lakou hale i ka wahahee; nolaila lakou i nui ai, a ua waiwai hoi.
As a snare which has been set is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore have they grown great, and become rich:
28 Ua momona ae nei lakou, ua hinuhinu hoi; oia, ua hele lakou, a ua pakela mamua o ka hana ana a ka poe hewa; aole lakou i kokua i ka pono, i ka pono hoi o na keiki makua ole, ua pomaikai nae lakou; aole lakou i hoopono ma ka hoopii ana o ka poe kaumaha.
and they have transgressed [the rule of] judgment; they have not judged the cause of the orphan, nor have they judged the cause of the widow.
29 Aole anei au e hoopai i keia mau mea? wahi a Iehova; aole anei e ko ka ukiuki o kuu uhane i ka lahuikanaka e like me keia?
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 Ua hanaia ka mea kupanaha ma ka aina, a he mea haumia loa hoi;
Shocking and horrible deeds have been done on the land;
31 Wanana wahahee mai na kaula, a ma o lakou la i noho alii ai na kahuna; a ua makemake ko'u poe kanaka ia mea; a pehea hoi oukou e hana'i i ka hopena o ia mea?
the prophets utter unrighteous prophecies, and the priests have clapped their hands: and my people has loved [to have it] thus: and what will ye do for the future.
