Jeremiah 15
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then said the LORD unto me: 'Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, yet My mind could not be toward this people; cast them out of My sight, and let them go forth.
1A LAILA, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ina i ku mai o Mose, a me Samuela imua o'u, aole no e kau ko'u manao ma keia poe kanaka. E kiola ia lakou mai ko'u alo aku, a e puka aku lakou iwaho.
2And it shall come to pass, when they say unto thee: Whither shall we go forth? then thou shall tell them: Thus saith the LORD: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.
2A ina e olelo mai lakou ia oe, Mahea makou e puka aku ai? Alaila, e olelo oe ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, O ka poe no ka make, i ka make no; a o ka poe no ka pahikaua, i ka pahikaua no; a o ka poe no ka wi, i ka wi no; a o ka poe no ka lawepioia, i ka lawepioia no.
3And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
3A e hookau aku au maluna o lakou i na mea eha, wahi a Iehova; o ka pahikaua e pepehi; o na ilio e haehae; o na manu o ka lani, a me na holoholona o ka honua, e ai, a e hoopau.
4And I will cause them to be a horror among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
4A e haawi no wau e laweia lakou i na aina a pau o ka honua nei, no Manase, ke keiki a Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, no ka mea ana i hana'i ma Ierusalema.
5For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? Or who shall bemoan thee? Or who shall turn aside to ask of thy welfare?
5No ka mea, owai ka mea aloha aku ia oe, e Ierusalema? Owai ka mea kumakena ia oe? Owai auanei ka mea e huli ae, e ninau i kou noho ana?
6Thou hast cast Me off, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward; Therefore do I stretch out My hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
6Ua haalele mai oe ia'u, wahi a Iehova, ua hoi hope oe. Nolaila, e kikoo ku e aku au i ko'u lima ia oe, a e luku ia oe; no ka mea, ua uluhua wau i ka mihi ana.
7And I fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I bereave them of children, I destroy My people, since they return not from their ways.
7E hoolulu aku au ia lakou i ka peahi lulu ma na pukapa o ka aina; e hoonele au ia lakou i na keiki, e luku aku no au i ko'u poe kanaka; aole lakou i huli, mai ko lakou aoao mai.
8Their widows are increased to Me above the sand of the seas; I bring upon them, against the mother, a chosen one, even a spoiler at noonday; I cause anguish and terrors to fall upon her suddenly.
8E oi aku ka nui o ko lakou wahinekanemake ia'u i ko ke one o ke kai. I ke awakea, e hoopuka no au maluna o lakou, maluna hoi o ka makuwahine o ka poe ui, i poe luku. E hoopuka no au maluna ona me ka hoohikilele ka makau a me ka weliweli.
9She that hath borne seven languisheth; her spirit droopeth; her sun is gone down while it was yet day, she is ashamed and confounded; and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.'
9Mae wale aku ka mea i hanau i na mea ehiku, e kaili ana ke ea. Ua napoo kona la i ke ao okoa; ua hilahila oia, ua hoopalaimaka hoi. A e haawi no wau i ke koena o lakou i ka pahikaua imua o ko lakou poe enemi, wahi a Iehova.
10Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them doth curse me.
10Auwe hoi au, e kuu makuwahine, no ka mea, ua hanau mai oe ia'u, he kanaka hakaka, he kanaka paio no ko ka honua a pau! Aole au i hoolimalima kala ma ke kuala, aole hoi i aie kala ma ke kuala; aka, ke hailiili mai nei kela mea keia mea o lakou ia'u.
11The LORD said: 'Verily I will release thee for good; verily I will cause the enemy to make supplication unto thee in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
11I mai la o Iehova, He oiaio, e pomaikai ana kou poe i koe; oiaio, na'u no e mea aku, a e hana maikai ae ka enemi ia oe i ka manawa poino, a i ka manawa popilikia.
12Can iron break iron from the north and brass?
12Na ka hao anei e uhaki i ka hao o ke kukulu akau, a me ke keleawe?
13Thy substance and thy treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
13A e haawi no wau i kou waiwai, a me kou ukana, no ka hoopio me ka uku ole ia mai, a oia hoi no kou hewa a pau, a aia no ia ma kou mau mokuna a pau.
14And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not; for a fire is kindled in My nostril, which shall burn upon you.'
14A na'u no e hoohele ia oe, me kou poe enemi a iloko o ka aina au i ike ole ai; no ka mea, ua hoaia ke ahi i kuu inaina, a e a no ia maluna o oukou.
15Thou, O LORD, knowest; Remember me, and think of me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away because of Thy long-suffering; know that for Thy sake I have suffered taunts.
15E Iehova, ua ike no oe: e hoomanao mai oe ia'u, a e ike mai hoi ia'u, a e hooponopono mai oe ia'u i ka poe hoomaau mai ia'u. Mai lawe aku oe ia'u, i kou ahonui ana. E ike oe, nou no wau i kaikai ai i ka hilahila.
16Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy words were unto me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart; because Thy name was called on me, O LORD God of hosts.
16Ua loaa no kau mau olelo, a ai no wau ia mau mea; a lilo kau olelo ia'u i mea olioli, a i mea hoi e hauoli ai ko'u naau: no ka mea, ua kapaia wau ma kou inoa, E Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua.
17I sat not in the assembly of them that make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of Thy hand; for Thou hast filled me with indignation.
17Aole au i noho ma ka aha o ka poe hoowahawaha, aole hoi au i olioli; noho kaawale au, no kou lima; no ka mea, ua hoopiha mai oe ia'u i ka ukiukiia.
18Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, so that it refuseth to be healed? Wilt Thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?
18No ke aha la i mau ai ko'u eha, a ola ole hoi ko'u hahauia, a hoole hoi i ka hoolaia? E lilo anei oe ia'u e like loa me na wai hoopunipuni, mau ole?
19Therefore thus saith the LORD: If thou return, and I bring thee back, thou shalt stand before Me; and if thou bring forth the precious out of the vile, thou shalt be as My mouth; let them return unto thee, but thou shalt not return unto them.
19Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Ina hoi mai oe, alaila, e hoihoi mai no wau ia oe, a e ku no oe imua o'u: a ina e lawe aku oe i ka mea pono, mai ka mea hewa aku, alaila, e like auanei no oe me ko'u waha. E hoi mai lakou ia oe, aka, mai hoi aku oe ia lakou.
20And I will make thee unto this people a fortified brazen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
20A e hoolilo wau ia oe i pa keleawe paa loa no keia poe kanaka; a e kaua mai no lakou ia oe, aka, aole lakou e lanakila mai maluna ou; no ka mea, owau pu no me oe, e hoola ia oe, a e hoopakele ia oe, wahi a Iehova.
21And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
21A e hoopakele aku au ia oe, mai ka lima aku o ka poe hewa, a e hoolapanai aku au ia oe, mai loko aku o ka lima o ka poe hooweliweli.
