Jeremiah 18
1 The worde which came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
O KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la mai o Iehova mai, i ka i ana mai,
2 Arise, and go downe into the potters house, and there shall I shewe thee my words.
E ku iluna, a e iho ilalo i ka hale o ka potera, a malaila e mea aku au, a e lohe oe i ka'u mau olelo.
3 Then I went downe to the potters house, and behold, he wrought a worke on the wheeles.
Alaila, iho aku la au ilalo i ka hale o ka potera, a aia hoi, e hana ana oia i ka hana maluna o na kaa.
4 And the vessell that he made of clay, was broken in the hand of the potter. so he returned, and made it another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
A o ka ipu ana i hana'i no ka lepo, ino iho la no ia iloko o ka lima o ka potera. Alaila, hana hou iho la no oia i ipu e, e like me ka makemake o ka potera e hana.
5 Then the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo o Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
6 O house of Israel, cannot I doe with you as this potter, sayth the Lord? beholde, as the clay is in the potters hande, so are you in mine hande, O house of Israel.
E ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, aole anei e hiki ia'u ke hana e like me keia potera, wahi a Iehova? Aia hoi, e like me ka lepo iloko o ka lima o ka potera, pela no oukou iloko o ko'u lima, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela.
7 I will speake suddenly against a nation or against a kingdome to plucke it vp, and to roote it out and to destroy it.
I ka wa a'u e olelo ai no kekahi lahuikanaka, a no kekahi aupuni, e uhuki, e wawahi, a e luku iho;
8 But if this nation, against whom I haue pronounced, turne from their wickednesse, I will repent of the plague that I thought to bring vpon them.
O kela lahuikanaka a'u i hoohewa aku ai, ina i huli lakou, mai ko lakou hewa mai, alaila, e mihi no wau i ka hewa a'u i manao ai e hana ia lakou.
9 And I wil speake suddenly concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdome to builde it and to plant it.
A i ka wa a'u e olelo ai no kekahi lahuikanaka, a no kekahi aupuni, e kukulu, a e hookupaa;
10 But if it do euill in my sight and heare not my voyce, I will repent of ye good that I thought to do for them.
Ina e hana hewa ia imua o ko'u alo, a hoolohe ole i ko'u leo, alaila, e mihi no wau i ka maikai a'u i olelo ai e hoopomaikai aku ia lakou.
11 Speake thou nowe therefore vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying, Thus saith ye Lord, Behold, I prepare a plague for you, and purpose a thing against you: returne you therefore euery one from his euill way, and make your wayes and your workes good.
Ano la hoi, e olelo aku oe i kanaka o ka Iuda, a i ka poe e noho la ma Ierusalema, e i aku, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, ke hana nei au i ka hewa ia oukou; ke noonoo nei hoi i manao ku e ia oukou. E hoi mai oukou, ano la, o kela mea, o keia mea, mai kona aoao hewa mai, a e hoomaikai i ko oukou aoao a me ka oukou hana ana.
12 But they sayde desperately, Surely wee will walke after our owne imaginations, and doe euery man after the stubburnnesse of his wicked heart.
I mai la lakou, Makekewa; e hele no makou mamuli o ko makou manao iho, a e hana no kela mea keia mea o makou ma ka paakiki o kona naau hewa.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Aske now among the heathen, who hath heard such thinges? the virgin of Israel hath done very filthily.
Nolaila, ko olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E ninau oukou iwaena o ko na aina e, Owai ka mea i lohe i na mea e like me ia? Ua hana no ka wahine puupaa o ka Iseraela i ka mea hoopailua loa.
14 Will a man forsake the snowe of Lebanon, which commeth from the rocke of the fielde? or shall the colde flowing waters, that come from another place, be forsaken?
E haalele anei ka hau ia Lebanona no na pohaku o ke kula, e kiolaia anei na wai huihui e kahe ana mai kahi e mai?
15 Because my people hath forgotten me, and haue burnt incense to vanitie, and their prophets haue caused them to stumble in their wayes from the auncient wayes, to walke in the pathes and way that is not troden,
No ka mea, ua hoopoina ko'u poe kanaka ia'u; ua kuni lakou i ka mea ala no ka lapuwale, a ua hoohina ia lakou ma ko lakou kuamoo, na kuamoo kahiko, e hele ma na kuamoo e, ma ke kuamoo i hoouka ole ia:
16 To make their land desolate and a perpetual derision, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and wagge his head,
I lilo ko lakou aina i neoneo, i mea hoowahawaha mau loa ia. E kahaha auauei na mea a pau e hele ae malaila, a e kunokunou i kona poo.
17 I will scatter them with an East winde before the enemie: I will shewe them the backe, and not the face in the day of their destruction.
E hoopuehu aku au ia lakou imua o ka enemi, me ka makani mai ka hikina mai; e hoike aku au ia lakou i ke kua, aole i ka maka, i ka la o ko lakou popilikia.
18 Then sayde they, Come, and let vs imagine some deuice against Ieremiah: for the Lawe shall not perish from the Priest, nor counsell from the wise, nor the worde from the Prophet: come, and let vs smite him with the tongue, and let vs not giue heede to any of his words.
Alaila, olelo mai la lakou, E hele mai, e imi hala kakou no Ieremia, no ka mea, aole e haule ke kanawai i ke kahuna, aole hoi ka manao akamai i ka poe akamai, a me ka olelo hoi i ke kaula. E hele mai, e hahau kakou ia ia i ke alelo; mai hoolohe kakou i kekahi o kana mau olelo.
19 Hearken vnto mee, O Lord, and heare the voyce of them that contend with me.
E haliu mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, a e hoolohe i ka leo o ka poe hakaka me au.
20 Shall euill be recompensed for good? for they haue digged a pit for my soule: remember that I stood before thee, to speake good for the, and to turne away thy wrath from them.
E hoihoi ia anei ka hewa no ka maikai? No ka mea, ua kohi lakou i lua no ko'u ola. E hoomanao oe i ko'u ku ana imua ou, e olelo i ka maikai no lakou, e hoohuli aku i kou inaina mai o lakou aku.
21 Therefore, deliuer vp their children to famine, and let them drop away by the force of the sworde, and let their wiues be robbed of their children, and be widowes: and let their husbands be put to death, and let their yong men be slayne by the sword in the battell.
Nolaila, e haawi aku oe i ka lakou keiki no ka wi, a e haawi ia lakou e make i ka ikaika o ka pahikaua. E hooneleia hoi ka lakou wahine i ka lakou keiki, a lilo lakou i wahinekanemake; e haawi hoi i ko lakou poe kanaka i ka make, a me ko lakou kanaka opiopio no ka lukuia i ka pahikaua, ma ka hoouka kaua ana.
22 Let the crye bee heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring an hoste suddenly vpon them: for they haue digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feete.
E loheia ka hea ana, mai ko lakou hale mai, i ka wa au e hoopuka mai ai i poe kaua maluna o lakou me ka hoohikilele; no ka mea, ua kohi lakou i lua, e hoopaa ia'u, a ua huna lakou i pahele no kuu mau wawae.
23 Yet Lord thou knowest al their counsel against me tendeth to death: forgiue not their iniquitie, neither put out their sinne from thy sight, but let them be ouerthrowen before thee: deale thus with them in the time of thine anger.
Aka, ua ike no oe, e Iehova, i ko lakou manao a pau ia'u, e pepehi mai ia'u. Mai kala oe i ko lakou hala, aole hoi e holoi i ko lakou hewa, mai kou alo aku; aka, e hoohiolo ia lakou imua ou. E hana oe pela ia lakou, i ka manawa o kou inaina.
