Ieremia 18
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1O KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la mai o Iehova mai, i ka i ana mai,
1This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2E 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.
2“Go down at once to the potter’s house, and there I will reveal My message to you.”
3Alaila, 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.
3So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him working at the wheel.
4A 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.
4But the vessel that he was shaping from the clay became flawed in his hand; so he formed it into another vessel, as it seemed best for him to do.
5Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo o Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
5Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
6E 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.
6“O house of Israel, declares the LORD, can I not treat you as this potter treats his clay? Just like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.
7I ka wa a'u e olelo ai no kekahi lahuikanaka, a no kekahi aupuni, e uhuki, e wawahi, a e luku iho;
7At any time I might announce that a nation or kingdom will be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed.
8O 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.
8But if that nation I warned turns from its evil, then I will relent of the disaster I had planned to bring.
9A i ka wa a'u e olelo ai no kekahi lahuikanaka, a no kekahi aupuni, e kukulu, a e hookupaa;
9And if at another time I announce that I will build up and establish a nation or kingdom,
10Ina 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.
10and if it does evil in My sight and does not listen to My voice, then I will relent of the good I had intended for it.
11Ano 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.
11Now therefore, tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I am planning a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways, and correct your ways and deeds.’
12I 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.
12But they will reply, ‘It is hopeless. We will follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’”
13Nolaila, 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.
13Therefore this is what the LORD says: “Inquire among the nations: Who has ever heard things like these? Virgin Israel has done a most terrible thing.
14E 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?
14Does the snow of Lebanon ever leave its rocky slopes? Or do its cool waters flowing from a distance ever run dry?
15No 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:
15Yet My people have forgotten Me. They burn incense to worthless idols that make them stumble in their ways, leaving the ancient roads to walk on rutted bypaths instead of on the highway.
16I 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.
16They have made their land a desolation, a perpetual object of scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and shake their heads.
17E 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.
17I will scatter them before the enemy like the east wind. I will show them My back and not My face in the day of their calamity.”
18Alaila, 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.
18Then some said, “Come, let us make plans against Jeremiah, for the law will never be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the wise, nor an oracle to the prophet. Come, let us denounce him and pay no heed to any of his words.”
19E haliu mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, a e hoolohe i ka leo o ka poe hakaka me au.
19Attend to me, O LORD. Hear what my accusers are saying!
20E 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.
20Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember how I stood before You to speak good on their behalf, to turn Your wrath from them.
21Nolaila, 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.
21Therefore, hand their children over to famine; pour out the power of the sword upon them. Let their wives become childless and widowed; let their husbands be slain by disease, their young men struck down by the sword in battle.
22E 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.
22Let a cry be heard from their houses when You suddenly bring raiders against them, for they have dug a pit to capture me and have hidden snares for my feet.
23Aka, 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.
23But You, O LORD, know all their deadly plots against me. Do not wipe out their guilt or blot out their sin from Your sight. Let them be overthrown before You; deal with them in the time of Your anger.
