Jeremiah 14
1 This is a message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah regarding the drought:
KA olelo a Iehova i hiki mai io Ieremia la no ka wi.
2 Judah is in mourning; her towns are wasting away. Her people are weeping for the land, and a cry for help comes from Jerusalem.
Ke kanikau nei o ka Iuda, a kumakena hoi kona mau pukapa; ua eleele hoi a ilalo i ka lepo; ua pii aku la no ka uwe ana o ko Ierusalema.
3 Rich people send their servants to get water. They go to the cisterns, but don't find any water. They return with empty jars, disappointed and ashamed, covering their heads.
O kolaila poe koikoi, ua hoouna lakou i ka lakou poe uuku e kii i ka wai; ua hele mai hoi lakou i na luawai, aole loaa ia lakou ka wai: hoi aku no lakou, aohe mea iloko o ko lakou hue. Hilahila iho la lakou, a hoopalaimaka, a pulou iho la i ko lakou mau poo.
4 The ground has dried up because there hasn't been any rain in the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.
No ka mea, ua nakaka ka lepo, no ka na ole maluna o ka honua. Ua hilahila ka poe mahiai, ua pulou lakou i ko lakou mau poo.
5 Even the deer abandons her newborn fawn because there's no grass.
Oia, hanau ae la ka dia ma ke kula, a haalele iho la, no ka mea, aohe mauu.
6 Wild donkeys stand on the bare hills, panting like jackals. Their eyesight fails because they have nothing to eat.
Ku mai la hoi na hoki hihiu ma na wahi kiekie; hau ae la lakou i ka makani e like me na iliohae; pau iho la no hoi ko lakou mau maka no ka mea, aohe mauu.
7 Even though our sins give evidence against us, Lord, please do something for us because of your good nature. Yes, we have rebelled against you so often; we have sinned against you.
E Iehova, ke hoike ku e mai nei ko makou hewa ia makou, aka, e hana mai oe no kou inoa iho; no ka mea, ua nui loa ko makou hoi hope ana, ua hana hewa makou ia oe.
8 You are the hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble. Why do you act like a foreigner in our country, like a traveler who only stays a night?
E ka mea e manaolana'i o ka Iseraela, o kona Hoola i ka manawa o ka popilikia, no ke aha la oe e like ai me ka malihini maloko o ka aina, a e like hoi me ke kanaka hele, i kipa'e e moe i kekahi po?
9 Why do you act like someone caught unawares, like a powerful warrior who can't help? You are here among us, Lord, and we are known as your people. Please don't give up on us!
No ke aha la oe e like ai me ke kanaka pilihua, e like hoi me ke kanaka koa hiki ole ke hoola? Aka, o oe, e Iehova, eia no oe iwaenakonu o makou, a ua kapaia makou ma kou inoa; mai haalele oe ia makou.
10 This is what the Lord says about his people: They really love to wander away from me—they don't even try to stop themselves. So the Lord refuses to accept them. Now he'll remember their guilty actions and punish them for their sins.
Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova i keia poe kanaka, ua makemake no lakou e hele hewa pela, aole lakou i kaohi i ko lakou mau wawae; nolaila, aole i ae mai o Iehova ia lakou; e hoomanao no oia i ko lakou hewa, a e hoopai hoi i ko lakou hala.
11 The Lord told me, Don't pray for the welfare of this people.
Alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Mai pule aku oe no keia poe kanaka, no ka maikai.
12 Even if they fast, I won't listen to their cry. Even though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I won't accept them. On the contrary I will wipe them out by sword and famine and plague.
Ia lakou e hookeai ai, aole au e hoolohe i ko lakou kahea ana; a ia lakou e kaumaha'i i ka mohai kuni, a me ka mohai makana, aole au e ae aku ia lakou; aka, e hoopau no wau ia lakou i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau.
13 “Oh Lord God!” I answered, “Look what prophets are telling them, claiming to be speaking for you: ‘You won't see war or suffer from famine, but I will give you peace that lasts here in this place.’”
Alaila, i iho la au, Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova e! Aia hoi, ke olelo mai nei na kaula ia lakou, Aole oukou e ike i ka pahikaua, aole hoi e loaa ia oukou ka wi; aka, e haawi aku no au ia oukou i ka malu oiaio ma keia wahi.
14 The prophets are prophesying lies in my name, replied the Lord. I didn't send them or choose them or speak to them. It's a lying vision, an empty prediction, a deluded, deceitful product of their own minds that they are prophesying to you.
Alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ke wanana nei na kaula i ka wahahee ma ko'u inoa. Aole au i hoouna aku ia lakou, aole hoi au i kauoha aku la ia lakou, aole hoi au i olelo ia lakou. Ke wanana nei lakou ia oukou i hihio wahahee, a me ka anaana, a me ka mea hope ole, a me ka wahahee o ko lakou naau.
15 So this is what the Lord says about such prophets who prophesy in my name: I didn't send them, but even so they say, “This country won't suffer war or famine.” These same prophets will die from war or famine!
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, no na kaula, ka poe i wanana ma ko'u inoa, aole hoi au i hoouna aku ia lakou; aka, ke olelo nei lakou, Aole e hiki mai ka pahikaua, aole hoi ka wi iloko o keia aina: E hoopauia ua poe kaula la, i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi.
16 The bodies of the people they prophesied to will be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem because of famine and war. There won't be anyone to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out their own evil on them.
A o na kanaka a lakou i ao aku ai i ka wanana ana, e kiolaia'ku no lakou iloko o na alanui o Ierusalema, no ka wi, a me ka pahikaua; aohe o lakou mea nana lakou e kanu, o lakou, a me ka lakou wahine, aole hoi ka lakou keikikane, aole ka lakou kaikamahine; no ka mea, e ninini aku au i ko lakou hewa maluna o lakou.
17 This is what you are to tell them: Tears flow from my eyes without stopping day or night, because my people have been crushed by a heavy blow, a really serious wound.
Nolaila, e olelo aku oe i keia olelo ia lakou; E kahe no ko'u mau maka i ka wai, i ka po a me ke ao, aole hoi laua e hooki; no ka mea, ua lukuia i ka luku nui ke kaikamahine puupaa o ko'u poe kanaka, i ka hahau ino loa.
18 If I go out to the countryside, I see those killed by the sword; if I go into the city, I see those dying by famine. Both prophets and priests wander around the country—they don't know what they're doing.
Ina e hele aku au i ke kula, alaila, e nana i ka poe i lukuia i ka pahikaua! a ina komo wau iloko o ke kulanakauhale, alaila, e nana aku i ka poe i mai no ka wi! Oia, kaahele aku no ke kaula, a me ke kahuna iloko o ka aina a lakou i ike ole ai.
19 Have you really rejected Judah? Do you hate Zion so much? Why have you wounded us so badly that we can't be healed? We hoped for peace, but instead nothing good has come; we hoped for a time of healing, but instead there was only sudden terror.
Ua hoole loa anei oe i ka Iuda? Ua hoopailua anei kou uhane ia Ziona? No ke aha la oe i pepehi mai ai ia makou, aole hoi he hoola no makou? Kakali makou i ka malu, aole hoi he pono: a i ka hoola hoi, aia hoi, he popilikia!
20 Lord, we admit our wickedness, the guilt of our forefathers as well as our own sins against you.
E Iehova, ua ike no makou i ko makou hewa, a me ka hala o ko makou poe makua; no ka mea, ua hana hewa aku makou ia oe.
21 Because of your own reputation please don't hate us; don't bring dishonor on your glorious throne. Please remember your agreement with us; don't break it.
Mai hoowahawaha mai oe, no kou inoa iho, mai hoino oe i ka nohoalii o kou nani. E hoomanao, mai uhai oe i kou berita me makou.
22 Can the false gods of the other nations bring rain? Can the skies themselves send showers? No, it's you, Lord our God. So we put our hope in you, because only you can do all this.
Aia anei iwaena o na mea lapuwale o na aina e kekahi mea hooua mai i ka ua? E hiki anei i na lani ke haawi mai i ka ua? Aole anei o oe ia, e Iehova, ko makou Akua? Nolaila makou e hilinai aku ai ia oe; no ka mea, ua hana oe i keia mau mea a pau.
