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 Judah, 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 before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon 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.
And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places where I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
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?
Moreover you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
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.
Why then is this people of Jerusalem slides back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse 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.
I hearkened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rushes into the battle.
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.
Yea, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment 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 do all of you say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
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, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is 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 unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one deals falsely.
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.
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
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.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
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.
I will surely consume them, says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
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 defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 Kakali kakou i ka malu; aohe pono: a i ka manawa o ke ola, aia hoi, he popilikia!
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
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.
The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
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 will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the LORD.
18 I maha no kuu kaumaha, ua maule no ko'u naau iloko o'u.
When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
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 the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger 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 harvest is past, the summer is ended, 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 hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment has taken hold on me.
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?
Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
