Ieremia 8
1 I KELA manawa, wahi a Iehova, e lawe mai no lakou i na iwi o na'lii o ka Iuda, a me na iwi o na luna, a me na iwi o na kahuna, a me na iwi o na kaula, a me na iwi o ka poe i noho ma Ierusalema, mawaho o ko lakou mau halelua;
At that time, says the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Juda, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
2 A e kaulai no hoi lakou ia mau mea i ka la, a i ka mahina, a i na hoku a pau o ka lani, i na mea a lakou i makemake ai, a i hookauwa ai hoi na lakou, a i hahai mamuli o lakou, a i imi ia lakou, a i hoomana ia lakou; aole e hoiliiliia ia mau iwi, aole hoi e kanu hou ia; e lilo lakou i mea kipulu maluna o ka honua.
and they shall spread them out to the sun, and the moon, and to all the stars, and to all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and to which they have held, and which they have worshipped; they shall not be mourned for, neither shall they be buried; but they shall be for an example on the face of the earth,
3 A e kohoia ka make, aole o ke ola, e na kanaka i koe, o keia poe i hookoeia o keia hanauna hewa, o ka poe i koe ma na wahi a pau a'u i kipaku aku ai ia lakou, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
because they chose death rather than life, even to all the remnant that are left of that family, in every place whither I shall drive them out.
4 A e olelo aku no hoi oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, E hina anei lakou a ala ole mai? E huli aku anei ia, a hoi ole mai?
For thus says the Lord, Shall not he that falls arise? or he that turns away, shall he not turn back again?
5 Heaha ka mea e hoihope ai keia poe kanaka o Ierusalema me ka hoihope mau loa? Hoopaa loa lakou i ka wahahee; hoole lakou, aole e hoi mai.
Therefore has this my people turned away with a shameless revolting, and strengthened themselves in their willfulness, and refused to return?
6 Hoolohe aku la au, a lohe, aole lakou i olelo pololei: aohe kanaka i mihi i kona hewa, me ka olelo iho, Heaha ka'u i hana'i? Huli no kela mea keia mea i kona aoao, e like me ka lio i holo ino iloko o ke kaua.
Listen, I pray you, and hear: will they not speak thus, There is no man that repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? the runner has failed from his course, as a tired horse in his neighing.
7 Oia, ua ike no ke setoreka ma ka lani i ka manawa pono: a malama no hoi ke kuhukuku, a me ka manu u, a me ka manuioio i ko lakou wa e hele mai ai: aka, o ko'u poe kanaka, aole ike lakou i ka hoopono o Iehova.
Yes, the stork in the heaven knows her time, [also] the turtle-dove and wild swallow; the sparrows observe the times of their coming in; but this my people knows not the judgments of the Lord.
8 Pehea la oukou e olelo ai, Ua akamai makou, a eia ia makou ke kanawai o Iehova? Aia hoi, ua hoololi ka peni hoopunipuni a ka poe kakauolelo ia mea i wahahee.
How will you say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? In vain have the scribes used a false pen.
9 E hilahila auanei ka poe akamai, e makau, a e pio. Aia hoi, ua hoole lakou i ka olelo a Iehova: heaha hoi ke akamai iloko o lakou?
The wise men are ashamed, and alarmed, and taken; because they have rejected the word of the Lord; what wisdom is there in them?
10 Nolaila, e haawi aku au i ka lakou poe wahine na hai, a me ko lakou mahinaai no ka poe hou e noho iho ai; no ka mea, ua makee waiwai kela mea, keia mea o lakou, mai ka mea uuku o lakou a i ka mea nui; a mai ke kaula a i ke kahuna, hana no kela mea keia mea ma ka wahahee.
Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to [new] inheritors; and they shall gather their fruits, says the Lord.
11 Ua hoola hapa lakou i ka eha o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, me ka olelo iho, He malu, he malu: aole hoi he malu.
12 Ua hilahila anei lakou i ka lakou hana ana i ka mea e hoopailua'i? Ole, aole lakou i hilahila iki, aole hoi i ike i ka hoopalaimaka; nolaila lakou e haule ai iwaena o ka poe haule; a ia lakou e hoopaiia'i, alaila lakou e kulaina'i, wahi a Iehova.
13 Oiaio, e hoopau no au ia lakou, wahi a Iehova; aole e loaa na hua ma ko lakou kumuwaina, aole hoi he fiku ma ka laau fiku, a e mae wale ka lau; a e lilo ia mau mea na ka poe hele mai maluna o lakou.
There are no grapes on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig-trees, and the leaves have fallen off.
14 No ke aha la kakou e noho malie ai? E hoakoakoa oukou, a e komo iloko o na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, a malaila kakou e noho ekemu ole ai; no ka mea, e luku mai o Iehova ia kakou, a e hoohainu mai ia kakou i ka wai o ke au, no ka mea, ua hana hewa kakou ia Iehova.
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the strong cities, and let us be cast out there: for God has cast us out, and made us drink water of gall, because we have sinned before him.
15 Kakali kakou i ka malu; aohe pono: a i ka manawa o ke ola, aia hoi, he popilikia!
We assembled for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, but behold anxiety.
16 Ua loheia ka hau ana o na lio mai Dana mai; haalulu ka aina a pau no ka uhuuhu ana o ka poe ikaika: no ka mea, ua hiki mai lakou, a ua hoopau lakou i ka aina, a me na mea a pau maloko olaila, i ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe noho maloko olaila.
We shall hear the neighing of his swift horses out of Dan: the whole land quaked at the sound of the neighing of his horses; and he shall come, and devour the land and the fullness of it; the city, and them that dwell in it.
17 No ka mea, aia hoi, e hoouna aku no au i na nahesa, a me na moo pepeiaohao iwaena o oukou, aole hoi lakou e hoowalewaleia, a e nahu mai no lakou ia oukou, wahi a Iehova.
For, behold, I send forth against you deadly serpents, which can’t be charmed, and they shall bite you
18 I maha no kuu kaumaha, ua maule no ko'u naau iloko o'u.
mortally with the pain of your distressed heart.
19 Aia hoi, ka leo o ka uwe ana o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, ma ka aina mamao mai; Aole anei o Iehova ma Ziona? Aole anei kona alii iloko ona? No ke aha la lakou i hoonaukiuki mai nei ia'u i ko lakou kii kalaiia, a me na mea lapuwale no kahi e mai?
Behold, [there is] a sound of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land afar off: Is not the Lord in Sion? is there not a king there? because they have provoked me with their graven [images], and with strange vanities.
20 Ua hala ka hoiliili ai ana, ua pau no ke kau, aole hoi kakou i hoolaia.
The summer is gone, the harvest is past, and we are not saved.
21 Ua eha au no ka eha ana o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka; ua eleele au, ua loohia au i ka pilihua.
For the breach of the daughter of my people I have been saddened: in my perplexity pangs have seized upon me as of a woman in travail.
22 Aole anei he nini ma Gileada? aole anei he kahuna lapaau malaila? No ke aha la i loaa ole ai ke ola no ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka?
And is there no balm in Galaad, or is there no physician there? why has not the healing of the daughter of my people taken place?
