Ieremia 9
1 A UWE! ina i lilo kuu poo i wai, a me kuu mau maka hoi i kumu waimaka, i uwe aku ai au i ke ao a me ka po, no ka poe i pephiia o ko kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka!
Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? then would I weep for this my people day and night, [even] for the slain of the daughter of my people.
2 Auwe hoi! ina ia'u ma ka waonahele ko ka poe hele wahi e moe ai; i haalele ai au i ko'u poe kanaka, a e hele, mai o lakou aku! no ka mea, he poe moe kolohe lakou a pau, he ahakanaka kipi.
Who would give me a most distant lodge in the wilderness, that I might leave my people, and depart from them? for they all commit adultery, an assembly of treacherous men.
3 Lena no lakou i ko lakou mau alelo, e like me ko lakou kakaka, no ka wahahee. Aole lakou hookoa ma ka oiaio maluna o ka honua; no ka mea, hele no lakou, mai kekahi hewa, a i kekahi hewa, aole hoi lakou i ike mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
And they have bent their tongue like a bow: falsehood and not faithfulness has prevailed upon the earth; for they have gone on from evil to evil, and have not known me, says the Lord.
4 E makaala kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, mai hilinai hoi i kekahi hoahanau; no ka mea, e wahahee loa no kela hoahanau, keia hoahanau; a hele ahiahi no na hoalauna a pau.
Beware you each of his neighbor, and trust you not in your brethren: for every one will surely supplant, and every friend will walk craftily.
5 E hoopunipuni no kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna, aole olelo i ka mea oiaio; ua maa ko lakou alelo e olelo i na wahahee, hoomaloeloe lakou ia lakou iho e hana i ka hewa.
Every one will mock his friend; they will not speak truth: their tongue has learned to speak falsehoods; they have committed iniquity, they ceased not, so as to return.
6 Aia no kou wahi noho ai iwaena konu o ka hoopunipuni; no ka hoopunipuni, hoole mai lakou, aole e ike mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
[There is] usury upon usury, and deceit upon deceit: they would not know me, says the Lord.
7 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua peneia. Aia hoi, e hoohehee no wau ia lakou, a e hoao hoi ia lakou; no ka mea, heaha la wau e hana'i no ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka?
Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I will try them with fire, and prove them; for I will do [thus] because of the wickedness of the daughter of my people.
8 O ko lakou alelo, he pua ia i panaia'ku, olelo no ia i ka hoopunipuni. Olelo oluolu aku kekahi i kona hoalauna me ka waha, aka, ma ka naau, ua hoohalua ia ia.
Their tongue is a wounding arrow; the words of their mouth are deceitful: [one] speaks peaceably to his neighbor, but in himself retains enmity.
9 Aole anei au e hoopai ia lakou no 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? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a people as this?
10 E olo no wau i ka pihe no na mauna, me ka uwe aku, a e kumakena no hoi no na wahi mauu o ka waonahele, no ka mea, ua pau lakou i ke ahi; nolaila, aole hiki kekahi ke hele malaila, aole hoi e loheia ka leo o na holoholona. Ua holo aku no ka manu o ka lewa, a me ka holoholona, ua hala lakou.
Take up a lamentation for the mountains, and a mournful dirge for the paths of the wilderness, for they are desolate for lack of men; they heard not the sound of life from the birds of the sky, nor the cattle: they were amazed, they are gone.
11 A e hoolilo no wau ia Ierusalema i mau puu, he noho ana hoi no na ilio hihiu; a e hooneoneo no wau i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, aohe mea noho iloko.
And I will remove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and make it a dwelling-place of dragons; and I will utterly waste the cities of Juda, so that they shall not be inhabited.
12 Owai ke kanaka akamai i hoomaopopo i keia? A ua olelo hoi ka waha o Iehova ia ia, a nana hoi e hai aku i ka mea i make ai ka aina, a neoneo e like me ka waonahele, i ole e hele ae kekahi maloko?
Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? and he that has the word of the mouth of the Lord [addressed] to him, let him tell you therefore the land has been destroyed, has been ravaged by fire like a desert, so that no one passes through it.
13 I mai la o Iehova, No ko lakou haalele ana i ko'u kanawai, i ka mea a'u i kau ai imua o lakou, aole hoi i hoolohe i ko'u leo, aole hoi i hele mamuli o ia;
And the Lord said to me, Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, and have not listened to my voice;
14 Aka, ua hele lakou mamuli o ka paakiki o ko lakou naau iho, a mamuli o na Baala hoi, na mea a ko lakou poe makua i ao mai ai ia lakou;
but went after the lusts of their evil heart, and after the idols which their fathers taught them [to worship]:
15 Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aia hoi, e hanai aku no wau ia lakou, i keia poe kanaka hoi, i ka awaawa, a e hoohainu aku au ia lakou i ka wai o ke au.
therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them with trouble and will cause them to drink water of gall:
16 A e hoopuehu aku au ia lakou iwaena o ko na aina e, i ka poe i ike ole ia e lakou, aole hoi e ko lakou mau makuaa; e hoouna aku au i ka pahikaua mahope o lakou, a hoopau au ia lakou.
and I will scatter them among the nations, to them whom neither they nor their fathers knew; and I will send a sword upon them, until I have consumed them with it.
17 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, E hoonaauao oukou, a e hea aku i na wahine e olo pihe ana, i hele mai lakou, a e kii aku hoi i na wahine kumakena, i hele mai lakou;
Thus says the Lord, Call you the mourning women, and let them come; and send to the wise women, and let them utter their voice;
18 E hoowikiwiki hoi lakou, a e olo pihe no kakou i kahe ka wai o ko Kakou mau maka, i poha aku hoi ko kakou mau alumaka i na wai.
and let them take up a lamentation for you, and let your eyes pour down tears, and your eyelids drop water.
19 No ka mea, ua loheia ka leo o ka uwe ana, mai Ziona mai, Nani ko kakou lukuia! Ua hilahila loa kakou, no ka mea, ua haalele kakou i ka aina, no ka mea, ua kipaku aku ko kakou wahi noho ai ia kakou.
For a voice of lamentation has been heard in Sion, How are we become wretched! we are greatly ashamed, for we have forsaken the land, and have abandoned our tabernacles!
20 Aka, e hoolohe mai oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, o na wahine, a e lawe hoi ko oukou pepeiao i ka olelo a kona waha, a e ao aku i ka oukou mau kaikamahine i ka uwe ana, a o kela mea keia mea i kona hoalauna i ke kumakena ana.
Hear now, you women, the word of God, and let your ears receive the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters lamentation, and [every] woman her neighbor a dirge.
21 No ka mea, ua pii mai no ka make, a iloko o ko kakou puka ma kani, ua komo no iloko o ko kakou halealii, e hooki ae ia i na kamalii mawaho, a me ua kanaka opiopio ma ke alanui.
For death has come up through your windows, it has entered into our land, to destroy the infants without, and the young men from the streets.
22 E i aku Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E haule no na kupapau o kanaka e like me ka lepo ma ke kula, e like hoi me ka pua ai mahope o ka mea hoiliili ai; aohe mea nana lakou e hoiliili.
And the carcases of the men shall be for an example on the face of the field of your land, like grass after the mower, and there shall be none to gather [them].
23 Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Mai kaena wale ka mea akamai i kona akamai ana, mai kaena wale hoi ka mea ikaika i kona ikaika ana, a mai kaena ka mea waiwai i kona waiwai ana;
Thus says the Lord, Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth;
24 Aka o ka mea kaena, e kaena oia i keia, i kona hoomaopopo ana, a i kona ike aua ia'u, owau no o Iehova, ka mea hana aku i ka lokomaikai, a me ka hoopono, a me ka maikai ma ka honua; no ka mea, ke lealea nei au ia mau mea, wahi a Iehova.
but let him that boasts boast in this, the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and righteousness, upon the earth; for in these things is my pleasure, says the Lord.
25 Aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la. wahi a Iehova, e hoopai pu aku ai au i ka poe a pau i okipoepoeia me ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia:
Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will visit upon all the circumcised their uncircumcision;
26 I ko Aigupita, a me ka Iuda a me ka Edoma. a me na keiki a Amona, a me ka Moaba, a me na mea a pau i ako i ka uminmi, ka poe e noho la ma ka waonahelo; no ka mea, ua okipoepoe ole ia ko na aina e a pau, a ua okipoepoe ole ia ko ka hale a pau o ka Iseraela, ma ka maau.
on Egypt, and on Idumea, and on Edom, and on the children of Ammon, and on the children of Moab, and on every one that shaves his face round about, [even] them that dwell in the wilderness; for all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in flesh, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised [in] their hearts.
