Jeremiah 5
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon her.
1E HOLOHOLO oukou ma na alanui o Ierusalema, a e nana, a e hoomaopopo, a e imi ma kolaila wahi akea, ina paha e loaa ia oukou ke kanaka, ina he mea hana i ka pono, a imi i ka oiaio; a na'u e kala aku i ka hala ona.
2And though they say: 'As the LORD liveth', surely they swear falsely.
2A ina paha lakou e olelo, Ke ola la no Iehova; malaila no lakou i hoohiki wahahee ai.
3O LORD, are not Thine eyes upon truth? Thou hast stricken them, but they were not affected; Thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction; they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
3E Iehova e, aole anei kou mau maka ma ka oiaio? Ua hahau no oe ia lakou, aole nae lakou i uwe. Ua hoopau no oe ia lakou, aka, ua hoole lakou, aole lakou e hoonaauao: a ua hana lakou i ko lakou maka a oi ka paakiki i ko ka pohaku; ua hoole lakou, aole e hoi mai.
4And I said: 'Surely these are poor, they are foolish, for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the ordinance of their God;
4A olelo no hoi au, He poe ilihune lakou, ua naaupo hoi; no ka mea, aole lakou i ike i ka aoao o Iehova, aole hoi i ka pono o ko lakou Akua.
5I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they know the way of the LORD, and the ordinance of their God.' But these had altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bands.
5E hele aku no au i na kanaka koikoi, a e olelo aku ia lakou; no ka mea, ua ike lakou i ka aoao o Iehova, i ka pono hoi o ko lakou Akua: aka, o keia poe, ua uhaki loa lakou i ka auamo, ua moku ia lakou na kaula e paa ai.
6Wherefore a lion out of the forest doth slay them, a wolf of the deserts doth spoil them, a leopard watcheth over their cities, every one that goeth out thence is torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, their backslidings are increased.
6Nolaila, na ka liona mai ka ululaau mai e luku ia lakou, a na ka iliohae o ke ahiahi e anai ia lakou; a na ka leopadi e kiai i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale: o kela mea keia mea o lakou e puka aku iwaho, e haehaeia no; no ka mea, ua nui loa ka lakou hana hewa ana, a ua hoomahuahuaia ko lakou hoihope ana.
7Wherefore should I pardon thee? The children have forsaken Me, and sworn by no-gods; and when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the harlots' houses.
7Pehea la wau e kala'i i keia hewa nou? Ua haalele kau mau keiki ia'u, a ua hoohiki lakou ma na mea akua ole. Hanai aku la au ia lakou a maona, alaila, moe kolohe iho la lakou, a hoakoakoa lakou me ka lehulehu ma na hale o na wahine hookamakama.
8They are become as well-fed horses, lusty stallions; every one neigheth after his neighbour's wife.
8Holoholo lakou e like me na lio i hanai maikai ia; uhuuhu kela mea keia mea o lakou i ka wahine a kona hoalauna.
9Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD; and shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
9Aole anei au e hoopai i keia mau mea? wahi a Iehova. Aole anei e ko ka inaina o kuu uhane i ka lahuikanaka e like me neia?
10Go ye up into her rows, and destroy, but make not a full end; take away her shoots; for they are not the LORD'S.
10E pii aku oukou maluna o kona mau pa, a e luku aku; mai hooki loa nae; e lawe aku i kona mau puupuu kaua, no ka mea, aole no Iehova ia mau mea.
11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against Me, saith the LORD.
11No ka mea, ua hana wahahee loa mai ia'u ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, a me ko ka hale o Iuda, wahi a Iehova.
12They have belied the LORD, and said: 'It is not He, neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine;
12Ua hoole lakou ia Iehova, a ua olelo iho, Aole ia, aole e hiki mai ka hewa maluna o makou, aole hoi e ike makou i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi.
13And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them; thus be it done unto them.'
13A e lilo auanei na kaula i makani, aole iloko o lakou ka olelo; pela e hanaia'i io lakou la.
14Wherefore thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts: Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make My words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
14Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, peneia, No ka oukou olelo ana i keia olelo, aia hoi, e hoolilo no wau i ka'u mau olelo iloko o kou waha, i ahi, a o keia poe kanaka i wahie, a e hoopau ia ia lakou.
15Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD; it is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
15Aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau maluna o oukou, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, i ka lahuikanaka, mai kahi mamao aku mai, wahi a Iehova; he lahuikanaka ikaika, he lahuikanaka kahiko, he lahuikanaka, aole oe i ike i ka lakou olelo, aole hoi i hoomaopopo i ka mea a lakou e olelo mai ai.
16Their quiver is an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
16O ko lakou aapua, he lua kupapau hamama ia, he poe kanaka ikaika lakou a pau.
17And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, they shall eat up thy sons and thy daughters, they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds, they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall batter thy fortified cities, wherein thou trusteth, with the sword.
17A e ai no lakou i kau ai, a me kau palaoa i hoiliiliia i mea na kau poe keiki kane, a na kau poo kaikamahine e ai ai: e ai no lakou i kau poe hipa, a me kau poe bipi; e ai no lakou i kou mau kumuwaina, a me kou laau fiku; e anai aku no lakou ma ka pahikaua, i kou mau kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, i na mea au i hilinai ai.
18But even in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
18Aka, i kela mau la, wahi a Iehova, aole au e hooki loa ia oukou.
19And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say: 'Wherefore hath the LORD our God done all these things unto us?' then shalt Thou say unto them: 'Like as ye have forsaken Me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.'
19A i ka wa e olelo mai ai oukou, No ke aha la i hana mai ai o Iehova, ko makou Akua, i keia mau mea a pau ia makou? Alaila, e i aku oe ia lakou, E like me oukou i haalele mai ai ia'u, a hookauwa aku na na akua e, ma ko oukou aina, pela no oukou e hookanwa aku ai na na kanaka e, ma ka aina aole no oukou.
20Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, and announce it in Judah, saying:
20E hai aku i keia maloko o ka hale o ka Iakoba, a e hoolaha aku hoi ma ka Iuda, e i aku,
21Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding, that have eyes, and see not, that have ears, and hear not:
21E hoolohe mai oukou i keia, e ka lahuikanaka lapuwale, a naauao ole; ka poe mea maka, a ike ole, ka poe mea pepeiao, a lohe ole;
22Fear ye not Me? saith the LORD; Will ye not tremble at My presence? Who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, an everlasting ordinance, which it cannot pass; and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.
22Aole anei oukou e makau mai ia'u? wahi a Iehova; aole anei oukou e haalulu imua o ko'u alo, ka mea i hoonoho i ke one i mokuna no ke kai, mamuli o ka manao paa mau loa, i pii ole ia a kela aoao: a ina hooleilei kona mau ale, aole hiki ia lakou ke pii, a ina halulu mai, aole no lakou e hele mai i keia aoao?
23But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted, and gone.
23Aka, o keia poe kanaka, he naau kipi ku e ko lakou; ua kipi no lakou, a ua lilo.
24Neither say they in their heart: 'Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth the former rain, and the latter in due season; that keepeth for us the appointed weeks of the harvest.'
24Aole nae lakou i olelo ma ko lakou naau, Ano, e makau aku kakou ia Iehova, i ko kakou Akua, i ka mea i haawi mai i ka ua, i ka ua mua, a me ka ua hope i kona manawa pono; a hookoe hoi no kakou i na hobedoma e hoiliili ai.
25Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good from you.
25Na ko oukou hewa i hoohuli aku i keia mau mea, a na ko oukou hala i hoopaa i na mea maikai, i loaa ole ia oukou.
26For among My people are found wicked men; they pry, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.
26Ua loaa no na mea hewa iwaena o ko'u poe kanaka; kiai malu lakou, e like me ke kulou ana o ka mea hoopahele manu;. kau no lakou i ka upiki, a paa no na kanaka ia lakou.
27As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit; therefore they are become great, and waxen rich;
27E like me na hinai manu i piha i na manu, pela no ka piha ana o ko lakou hale i ka wahahee; nolaila lakou i nui ai, a ua waiwai hoi.
28They are waxen fat, they are become sleek; yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they might make it to prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
28Ua momona ae nei lakou, ua hinuhinu hoi; oia, ua hele lakou, a ua pakela mamua o ka hana ana a ka poe hewa; aole lakou i kokua i ka pono, i ka pono hoi o na keiki makua ole, ua pomaikai nae lakou; aole lakou i hoopono ma ka hoopii ana o ka poe kaumaha.
29Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD; Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
29Aole anei au e hoopai i keia mau mea? wahi a Iehova; aole anei e ko ka ukiuki o kuu uhane i ka lahuikanaka e like me keia?
30An appalling and horrible thing is come to pass in the land:
30Ua hanaia ka mea kupanaha ma ka aina, a he mea haumia loa hoi;
31The prophets prophesy in the service of falsehood, and the priests bear rule at their beck; and My people love to have it so; What then will ye do in the end thereof?
31Wanana wahahee mai na kaula, a ma o lakou la i noho alii ai na kahuna; a ua makemake ko'u poe kanaka ia mea; a pehea hoi oukou e hana'i i ka hopena o ia mea?
