Jeremiah 4
1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
I NA e hoi mai oe ia'u, e ka Iseraela, wahi a Iehova, e hoi mai no; a ina e hoolei oe i kou mau mea e hoopailua ai, mai ko'u alo aku, alaila aole oe e aea.
2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
A e hoohiki no oe, ke ola la no o Iehova ma ka oiaio, a ma ka pono, a ma ka maikai; a e hoopomaikai ko na aina ia lakou iho ma ona la, a ma ona la lakou e kaena'i.
3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova i na kanaka o ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema, E waele oukou i ko oukou mahinaai, mai kanu oukou iwaena o na kakalaioa.
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench [it], because of the evil of your doings.
E okipoepoe ia oukou iho no Iehova, a e lawe aku oukou i ka omaka o ko oukou naau, e na kanaka o ka Iuda, a me ka poe noho ma Ierusalema, o puka mai ko'u ukiuki e like me ke ahi, a a hoi, aohe mea e hiki ke hoopio, no ka hewa o ka oukou hana ana.
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
E hai aku oukou maloko o ka Iuda, a o kala aku hoi ma Ierusalema; a e i aku, E puhi oukou i ka pu ma ka aina; e kala aku, e hoonui i ka leo, a e i aku, E hoakoakoa oukou, a e komo aku kakou iloko o na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa.
6 Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
E kau i ka hae ma Ziona, e hoikaika aku hoi, mai ku malie; no ka mea, e lawe mai no wau i ka hewa, mai ke kukuluakau mai, a i ka make nui loa hoi.
7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; [and] thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
Ua pii mai ka liona, mai kona ululaau mai; ke hele mai la hoi ka mea luku i na aina; ua puka aku oia, mai kona wahi aku e hoolilo i kou aina i neoneo; a e anaiia kou mau kulanakauhale, aohe mea koe e noho ana.
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
No keia mea, e komo oukou i ka lole ino e kumakena, a e aoa hoi; no ka mea, aole i huli aku ka ukiuki o ke Akua, mai o kakou aku.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, [that] the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
A hiki aku i kela la, wahi a Iehova, e maule auanei ka naau o ke alii, a me ka naau o na luna; e pilihua hoi na kahuna, a e weliweli na kaula.
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
A i aku la au, Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova! he oiaio, ua alakai hewa loa oe i keia poe kanaka, a me ko Ierusalema, i ka i ana mai, E loaa auanei ia oukou ka malu; aka, ua komo ka pahikaua iloko o ka uhane.
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
I kela manawa, e oleloia mai a keia poe kanaka, a i ko Ierusalema, He makani wela no na wahi kiekie mai o ka waonahale, ma ke ala o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka, aole no ka hoomaikai, a me ka hoomaemae.
12 [Even] a full wind from those [places] shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
He makani ikaika ka i hele mai ia'u, mai ia mau wahi mai: ano hoi au e hooponopono ia lakou.
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
Aia hoi, e pii mai no ia e like me na ao, a e like auanei kona mau kaakaua me ka puahiohio; ua oi aku ka mama o kona mau lio mamua o ko na aeto. Auwe kakou, no ka mea, ua anaiia kakou!
14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
E Ierusalema e, holoi oe i kou naau, i pau ka hewa, i hoolaia hoi oe. Pohea la ka loihi o ka noho ana o na manao lapuwale iloko ou?
15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
No ka mea, ke hai mai nei ka leo, mai Dana mai, a hoolaha mai hoi i ka lohe i ka popilikia, mai ka mauna o Epaeraima mai.
16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, [that] watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
E hoikeike i ko na aina: aia hoi, e hai aku no Ierusalema, ua hiki mai ka poe kiai, mai ka aina mamao aku mai, a hoonui hoi lakou i ka leo ku e i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda.
17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
E like me ka poe kiai i ka mahinaai, pela no lakou e ku e nei ia wahi a puni: no ka mea, ua kipi mai oia ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these [things] unto thee; this [is] thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
Na kou aoao, a me kau hana ana i hookau mai i keia mau mea maluna ou; nou no keia hewa, he walania hoi ia, no ka mea, ua komo loa no iloko o kou naau.
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
O kuu opu, o kuu opu! Ua hookaawiliia au ma kuu naau; ke kani nei ko'u naau iloko o'u. Aole au e noho ekemu ole, no ka mea, ua lohe oe, e kuu uhane, i ke kani ana o ka pu, a me ka hooho o ke kaua.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, [and] my curtains in a moment.
Ua heaia ka make maluna o ka make, no ka mea, ua anaiia ka aina a pau. Ua luku hoohikilele ia ko'u mau halelewa, a me ko'u mau paku hoi, ma ka minute.
21 How long shall I see the standard, [and] hear the sound of the trumpet?
Pehea la ka loihi o ko'u ike ana i ka hae, a lohe hoi i ke kani ana o ka pu?
22 For my people [is] foolish, they have not known me; they [are] sottish children, and they have none understanding: they [are] wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
No ka mea, ua lapuwale ko'u poe kanaka, aole lakou i ike mai ia'u; he poe kamalii lapuwale, aohe o lakou naauao. He akamai lakou i ka hana hewa; aka, aole o lakou ike i ka hana maikai.
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, [it was] without form, and void; and the heavens, and they [had] no light.
Nana ae la au i ka honua, aia hoi, ua neoneo, a olohelohe hoi; i ka lani kekahi, aohe ona malamalama.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
Nana ae la au i na kuahiwi, aia hoi, haalulu lakou, a naka iho la na mauna a pau.
25 I beheld, and, lo, [there was] no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
Nana aku la au, aia hoi, aohe kanaka, a ua hee aku la na manu a pau o ka laui.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place [was] a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] by his fierce anger.
Nana aku la au, aia hoi, o kahi i nui ka ai, ua waonahele; a ua hoohioloia kolaila kulanakauhale a pau imua o ke alo o Iehova, imua hoi o koua ukiuki nui.
27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E neoneo auanei ka aina a pau; aole nae au e hooki loa i na wahi.
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken [it], I have purposed [it], and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
No keia mea, e kumakena'i ka honua, a e pouli hoi na lani maluna, no ka mea, ua olelo no wau, ua paa kuu manao, aole hoi au e mihi ana, aole au e huli, mai ia manao aku.
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city [shall be] forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
E auhee no ke kulanakauhale a pau, no ka walaau o na hololio, a me na kanaka kakaka. E holo no lakou iloko o ka ululaau, a e pii hoi maluna o na pohaku; e haaleleia no kela kulanakauhale, keia kulanakauhale, aole kanaka e noho ana iloko.
30 And [when] thou [art] spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; [thy] lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
A anaiia oe, pehea la oe e hana'i? Ina paha e hoaahu oe ia oe i ka mea ula, a kahiko hoi oe ia oe i na kahiko gula, a ina paha e nahae kou mau maka i ka pena, make hewa no kou hoomaikai ana ia oe; e hoowahawaha mai no kou mau ipo ia oe, e imi no lakou e hoopau i kou ola.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, [and] the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, [that] bewaileth herself, [that] spreadeth her hands, [saying], Woe [is] me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
No ka mea, ua lohe no au i ka leo, e like me ko ka wahine e hanau keiki ana, a i ke kuakoko, e like me ko ka wahine i hanau i kana hiapo, i ka leo hoi o ke kaikamahine o Ziona e kumakena ana ia ia iho, e hohola ana hoi i kona mau lima, me ka olelo iho, Auwe au ano! no ka mea, ua paupauaho kuu uhane no ka poe pepehi kanaka.
