Jeremiah 51
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in Leb-kamai, a destroying wind.
1KE i mai nei o Iehova, penei; Aia hoi, e hoala no wau i ka makani luku e ku e ia Babulona, E ku e hoi i ka poe e noho la iwaenakonu, Ka poe i ala ku e mai ia'u.
2And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall fan her, and they shall empty her land; for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
2E hoouna aku au i na malihini i Babulona, A e hoopuehu lakou i kona, a e ninini aku i ko kona aina; No ka mea, e ku e no lakou ia ia a puni i ka la poino.
3Let the archer bend his bow against her, and let him lift himself up against her in his coat of mail; and spare ye not her young men, destroy ye utterly all her host.
3E lena ke kakaka o ka mea pana, E ku e i ka mea i hoolena i kona; E ku e i ka mea hookiekie maloko o kona paleumaumaunahi; Mai hookoe i kona poe kanaka opiopio, E luku loa aku i kona mau kaua a pau.
4And they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
4E hina no ka poe make ma ka aina o ko Kaledea, A e houia ma kona mau alanui.
5For Israel is not widowed, nor Judah, of his God, of the LORD of hosts; for their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
5No ka mea, ua haalele ole ia ka Iseraela, A o ka Iuda hoi e kona Akua e Iehova o na kaua; Ua piha nae ko lakou aina i ka lawehala imua o ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
6Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life, be not cut off in her iniquity; for it is the time of the LORD'S vengeance; He will render unto her a recompense.
6E holo oukou mai waenakonu aku o Babulona, E hoopakele kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona ola iho: Mai noho oukou a lukuia iloko o kona hewa, No ka mea, o ka manawa keia o ko Iehova ukiuki; Nana no e hoouku aku ia ia
7Babylon hath been a golden cup in LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken; the nations have drunk of her wine, therefore the nations are mad.
7He wahi kiaha gula o Babulona ma ka lima o Iehova, O ka mea ia i ona'i ka honua a pau: Ua inu ko na aina i kona waina, Nolaila i pupule ai ko na aina.
8Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed, wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
8Ua haule hoohikilele o Babulona, a ua anaiia; E aoa nona, e kii hoi i wahi nini no kona eha, Ina paha e hoolaia oia.
9We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed; forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
9Hoola aku no makou ia Babulona, aole ia i ola: E haalele ia ia, e hele hoi kela mea keia mea o kakou i kona aina iho; No ka mea, ua pa aku kona hoopaiia i ka lani, Ua hapaiia hoi, a i na aouli.
10The LORD hath brought forth our victory; come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
10Ua hoopuka mai o Iehova i ko kakou pono; E hele mai hoi, e hai aku kakou ma Ziona i ka hana a Iehova ko kakou Akua.
11Make bright the arrows, fill the quivers, the LORD hath roused the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because His device is against Babylon, to destroy it; for it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of His temple.
11E anai i na pua, e lalau i na palekaua; Ua hooikaika o Iehova i ka manao o na'lii o Media: No ka mea, he manao ku e kona ia Babulona e luku ia wahi; No ka mea, o ka hoopai ana ia o Iehova, O kana hoopai ana hoi, no kona luakini.
12Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for the LORD hath both devised and done that which He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
12E kau i ka hae ma na pa o Babulona, E hoomahuahua i ka poe kaua, E hoonohonoho i na kiai, E hoomakaukau i ka poe hoohalua; No ka mea, ua noonoo o Iehova, a ua hana hoi i na mea ana i olelo ku e ai i ka poe e noho la ma Babulona.
13O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy covetousness.
13E ka mea e noho la ma na wai nui, Ka mea waiwai nui hoi, Ua hiki mai kou hope, a me ke ana o kou hao ana.
14The LORD of hosts hath sworn by Himself: Surely I will fill thee with men, as with the canker-worm, and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
14Ua hoohiki o Iehova o na kaua ia ia iho, Oiaio, e hoopiha no wau ia oe i na kanaka e like me na enuhe, A e hookiekie lakou i ka hooho ku e ia oe.
15He that hath made the earth by His power, that hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by His discernment;
15Ua hana oia i ka honua i kona mana, Ua hookumu oia i ke ao nei i kona akamai, A ua uhola'i i na lani i kona ike.
16At the sound of His giving a multitude of waters in the heavens, He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings at the time of the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of His treasuries;
16I ka poha ana o kona leo, Nui na wai ma na lani; Oia ka mea e pii aku ai ka ohu, mai na kihi ae o ka honua: Nana no i hana ka uwila, me ka ua, A hoopuka mai la oia i ka makaui, Mailoko mai o kona waihona waiwai.
17Every man is proved to be brutish, for the knowledge — every goldsmith is put to shame by the graven image — that his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
17Me he holoholona la na kanaka a pau ma ka ike, Ua hoohilahilaia na mea hoohehee kala a pau, ma na kii i hooheheeia; No ka mea, he wahahee kona kii hooheheeia, Aohe hanu iloko o lakou.
18They are vanity, a work of delusion; in the time of their visitation they shall perish,
18He lapuwale lakou, he hana na ka wahahee; I ko lakou wa e hoopaiia mai ai, e make no lakou.
19The portion of Jacob is not like these; for He is the former of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; the LORD of hosts is His name.
19Aole i like ka Puu o Iakoba me lakou, No ka mea, nana no i hana na mea a pau; O ka Iseraela ke kookoo o kona hooilina; O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
20Thou art My maul and weapons of war, and with thee will I shatter the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
20He hamare no oe no'u, A me ko'u mau mea kaua e kaua'i: No ka mea, ia oe no wau e wawahi ai i na aina, A ia oe no hoi e luku aku ai au i na aupuni;
21And with thee will I shatter the horse and his rider, and with thee will I shatter the chariot and him that rideth therein;
21Ia oe no wau e uhai i ka lio, A me kona mea nana e holo; Ia oe no wau e uhai ai i ke kaakaua, A me kona mea nana e holo;
22And with thee will I shatter man and woman, and with thee will I shatter the old man and the youth, and with thee will I shatter the young man and the maid;
22Ia oe no wau e uhai ai i ke kane a me ka wahine; Ia oe no hoi au e uhai ai i ka elemakule a me ka mea opiopio; A ia oe no e uhai ai au i ke kanaka opiopio, a me ke kaikamahine:
23And with thee will I shatter the shepherd and his flock, and with thee will I shatter the husbandman and his yoke of oxen, and with thee will I shatter governors and deputies.
23Ia oe no e uhai aku ai au i ke kahuhipa, a me kona ohana; Ia oe no wau e uhai aku ai i ke kauaka mahiai, A me kona mau bipi kauo; A ia oe no wau e uhai aku ai i na kiaaina, A me ko lakou poe alii.
24And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion, in your sight; saith the LORD.
24A maluna o Babulona, a maluna o ka poe e noho la ma Kaledea, E hoihoi no wau i ka hewa a pau a lakou i hana'i, Ma Ziona, imua o kou mau maka, wahi a Iehova.
25Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out My hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
25Aia hoi, owau ka i ku e ia oe, e ka mauna hoomake, Wahi a Iehova; Ka mea i anai i ka honua a pau: A e kakauha aku au i ko'u lima maluna ou, A e olokaa aku au ia oe ilalo, mai na pohaku aku, A e hoolilo au ia oe i mauna a.
26And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD.
26Aole hoi lakou e lawe i kekahi pohaku ou i pohaku kihi, Aole hoi i pohaku hookumu: Aka, e neoneo mau loa aku no oe, wahi a Iehova.
27Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the horn among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough canker-worm.
27E kau oukou i ka hae ma ka aina, E puhi i ka pu iwaena o ko na aina, E hoomakaukau i ko na aina, e ku e ia ia; E kena i na aupuni o Arerata e ku e ia ia, Ia Mini, a me Asekenaza; E hoonoho i alihi kaua e ku e ia ia; E hoouna i na lio e like me na enuhe huluhulu.
28Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, the governors thereof, and all the deputies thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
28E hoomakaukau ku e ia ia i ko na aina a me ua'lii o ko Media, I kona poe kiaaina hoi a me kona mau luna, A me ka aina a pau o kona aupuni.
29And the land quaketh and is in pain; for the purposes of the LORD are performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
29E haalulu no ka aina, a e mihi hoi; No ka mea, e hanaia maluna o Babulona na manao a pau o Iehova, E hoolilo i ka aina o Babulona i wahi neoneo, Me ka mea ole nana e noho.
30The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strongholds; their might hath failed, they are become as women; her dwelling-places are set on fire; her bars are broken.
30Ua haalele na kanaka ikaika o Babulona i ke kaua, Ua noho lakou ma na puu kaua; Ua pio hoi ko lakou ikaika, Ua like no hoi lakou me na wahine; Ua hoopau lakou i ko lakou wahi noho i ke ahi, Ua uhaiia kona mau kikaola.
31One post runneth to meet another, and one messenger to meet an other, to tell the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter;
31E holo auanei kekahi luna e halawai me ka kekahi luna, A me kekahi elele e halawai me kekahi elele, E hai aku i ke alii i ke pio ana o ke kulanakauhale ma kekahi pea:
32And the fords are seized, and the castles they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
32I ka lilo ana o na alanui kiaiia, A ua hoopau no lakou i na ohe i ke ahi, Ua auhee hoi na kanaka kaua.
33For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
33No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; Ua like ke kaikamahine o Babulona me kahi hahi palaoa, Ua hiki mai ka manawa e hahi ai ia ia; He manawa iki e koe, a hiki mai kona hoiliili ai ana.
34Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath set me down as an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his maw with my delicacies; he hath washed me clean.
34Ua ai mai o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona ia'u, A ua hooki loa mai ia'u, Ua hoolilo mai oia ia'u i ipu mea ole iloko, Ua moni mai oia ia'u, e like me ka moonui, Ua hoopiha oia i kona opu i ka'u mea maikai, Ua kipaku mai oia ia'u.
35'The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon', shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and: 'My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea', shall Jerusalem say.
35Maluna hoi o Babulona, ka hookaumahaia o'u a me ko'u kino, Wahi a ka mea e noho la ma Ziona; A o ko'u koko hoi maluna o ka poe e noho la ma Kaledea, Wahi a Ierusalema.
36Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
36Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, na'u no e hooponopono i kou hoopiiia, Na'u hoi e hoopai aku nou; A e hoomaloo no wau i kona moana, A e hoopio no hoi au i kona waipuna.
37And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
37A e lilo o Babulona i mau puu, He wahi noho no na iliohihiu, He mea e kahaha ai, a e hoowahawaha ai hoi, Me ka mea ole nana e noho.
38They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions' whelps.
38E uwo pu no lakou e like me na liona, A e hoonui hoi i ko lakou leo e like me na keiki liona.
39With their poison I will prepare their feast, and I will make them drunken, that they may be convulsed, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD.
39Ia lakou e wela'i, e hana no wau i ko lakou ahainu, A e hooona aku wau ia lakou, i mea e lealea ai lakou, A e moe no lakou i ka hiamoe mau loa, Aole lakou e ala hou, wahi a Iehova.
40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
40E hooiho aku au ia lakou e like me na keikihipa i ka make, E like hoi me na hipa kane, a me na kaokane.
41How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
41Nani ka hopuia o Sesaka! A ua hoopioia hoi ka mea nani o ka honua a pau! Nani ka lilo ana o Babulona i mea kupaianaha iwaena o na aina!
42The sea is come up upon Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
42Ua pii mai ke kai maluna o Babulona; Ua uhiia oia i ka nui o kona mau ale.
43Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.
43Ua lilo kona mau kulanakauhale i wahi neoneo, He aina maloo hoi, a he waonahele, He aina noho ole ia e kekahi kanaka, Aole hoi e hele ae ke keiki a ke kanaka ilaila.
44And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up, and the nations shall not flow any more unto him; yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
44Na'u no e hoopai aku ia Bela ma Babulona, A e hoopuka aku no hoi au iwaho o kona waha, I ka mea ana i moni ai; Aole e akoakoa hou mai na lahuikanaka io na la; Oia, e hiolo ana ka pa o Babulona.
45My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of the LORD.
45E ko'u poe kanaka, e hele oukou maiwaena aku ona, A e hoopakele kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona ola iho, Mai ka ukiuki nui o Iehova;
46And let not your heart faint, neither fear ye, for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; for a rumour shall come one year, and after that in another year a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
46O maule auanei ko oukou naau, a makau hoi oukou, no ka lono e loheia ana ma ia aina; E hiki mai no ka lono i kekahi makahiki, A he lono hou i kekahi makahiki, He haunaele ma ka aina, O kekahi alii e ku e ana i kekahi alii.
47Therefore behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon, and her whole land shall be ashamed; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
47Nolaila, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, E hoopai aku ai au i na kii kalaiia o Babulona; A e hoohilahilaia kona aina a pau, A e haule hoi iwaenakonu ona, kona poe a pau i houia.
48Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD.
48Alaila e hookani olioli ai ka lani, a me ka honua, a me na mea a pau oloko, no Babulona; No ka mea, mai ke kukulu akau mai e hele mai ai io na la ka poe hao wale, wahi a Iehova.
49As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the land.
49Me Babulona i hoohina'i i ka poe i houia o ka Iseraela, Pela no ma Babulona e hina'i ka poe i houia o ka honua a pau.
50Ye that have escaped the sword, go ye, stand not still; remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
50E hele oukou, e ka poe i pakele i ka pahikaua, Mai ku malie; e hoomanao ia Iehova ma kahi loihi aku, E hoomanao hoi ia Ierusalema iloko o ko oukou naau.
51'We are ashamed, because we have heard reproach, confusion hath covered our faces; for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD'S house.'
51Ua hoohilahilaia makou, no ka mea, ua lohe makou i ka hoowahawaha: Ua uhiia ko makou maka i ka hilahila; No ka mea, ua hiki mai na malihini iloko o na keenakapu o ka hale o Iehova.
52Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images; and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
52No ia mea, aia hoi, e hiki mai auanei na la, wahi a Iehova, E hoopai aku ai au i kona mau kii kalaiia; A ma kona aina a puni e kaniuhu ai no ka poe i oia.
53Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from Me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.
53Ina paha i pii aku o Babulona a i ka lani, A ina i hoopaa loa oia i na puu kaua o kona ikaika, E hele aku nae ka poe hao wale, mai o'u aku nei a io na la, wahi a Iehova.
54Hark! a cry from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
54Mai Babulona mai, kui mai ka lono no ka uwe ana, A me ka luku nui ia, mai ka aina o ko Kaledea mai.
55For the LORD spoileth Babylon, and destroyeth out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters, the noise of their voice is uttered;
55No ka mea, ua hao wale o Iehova ia Babulona, A ua hooki hoi i ka walaau nui mai ona aku; A halulu kona mau ale e like me na wai nui, Kani no ka leo o kona walaau.
56For the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are shattered; for the LORD is a God of recompenses, He will surely requite.
56No ka mea, ua hele mai ka mea hao wale maluna ona, Maluna hoi o Babulona; Ua lawepioia kona poe kanaka ikaika, Ua hai hoi na kakaka a pau o lakou; No ka mea, o Iehova ke Akua hoopai, Oiaio no, e hoopai oia.
57And I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
57A e hooona aku au i kona poe alii, a me kona poe akamai, I kona poe kiaaina, a me kona mau luna, a me kona poe kanaka ikaika: A e moe no lakou i ka hiamoe mau loa, Aole lakou e ala hou, wahi a ke alii, Nona ka inoa, o Iehova o na kaua.
58Thus saith the LORD of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labour for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary.
58Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua; E oiaio no e hoohiolo loa ia na pa nui o Babulona, A e puhiia i ke ahi kona mau pukapa kiekie; E hooikaika na kanaka a make hewa ka luhi, A o na lahuikanaka hoi, no ke ahi, A e maloeloe lakou.
59The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was quartermaster.
59O ka olelo a Ieremia a ke kaula i kauoha'i ia Seraia, i keiki a Neria, i ke keiki a Maaseia, i ka manawa ana i hele pu aku ai i Babulona me Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka makahiki aha o kona noho alii ana. He luna noho malie o ua Seraia nei.
60And Jeremiah wrote in one book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
60A kakau no Ieremia iloko o ka buke i ka hewa a pau e hiki mai ana maluna o Babulona, i keia mau olelo a pau hoi i palapalaia no Babulona.
61And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: 'When thou comest to Babylon, then see that thou read all these words,
61Olelo mai la o Ieremia ia Seraia, A hiki aku oe i Babulona, a ike, a heluhelu hoi i keia mau olelo a pau;
62and say: O LORD, Thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
62Alaila, e i aku oe, E Iehova, ua olelo ku e mai oe i keia wahi, e hooki iho, i mea e koe ole ai kekahi mea iloko ona, aohe kanaka, aohe holoholona, aka, e neoneo mau loa aku no.
63And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates;
63A hiki i ka manawa e hoopau ai oe i ka heluhelu ana i keia buke, alaila e nakinaki i ka pohaku me ka buke, a e hoolei aku iwaenakonu o Euperate.
64and thou shalt say: Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring upon her; and they shall be weary.' Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
64A e i aku oe, Pela e poho ai o Babulona, aole o ala hou, mai ka hewa a'u e lawe ai maluna ona. A e maloeloe lakou. A ia nei na olelo a Ieremia.
