Ezekiel 19
1 Moreover take you up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
E LAWE hoi oe i ke kanikau no na'lii o ka Iseraela,
2 And say, What is your mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
A e olelo aku, Heaha kou makuwahine? He liona wahine. Ua moe ia ilalo me na liona, ua hanai oia i kana mau keiki liona iwaena o na liona opiopio.
3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
Ua alakai oia i kekahi o kana mau keiki liona: lilo ia i liona opiopio, ao iho la ia e hopu i ka ai kaili, ai iho la ia i kanaka.
4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
Lohe hoi na lahuikanaka nona, a ua hopuia oia iloko o ko lakou lua; lawe ae la lakou ia ia me na kaulahao i ka aina o Aigupita.
5 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
A ike iho la ia makuwahine ua kali ia, a lilo kona mea i manaolana ai, alaila lawe oia i kekahi o kana mau keiki liona, a hoolilo ia ia i liona opiopio.
6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
Holoholo ae la ia io ia nei iwaena o na liona, lilo oia i liona opiopio; ao iho la ia e hopu i ka ai kaili, a ai iho la i kanaka.
7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fullness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.
Ike iho la ia i ko lakou mau hale alii neoneo, hooneoneo ae la ia i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale; a neoneo ka aina a me kona mea i piha ai, no ka halulu o kona uwo ana.
8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
Alaila hooku e na lahuikanaka ia ia a puni mailoko mai o na aina, a hohola i ko lakou upena maluna ona, a ua hopuia oia iloko o ka lakou lua.
9 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
Hoopaahao ae la lakou ia ia me na kaulahao, a lawe hoi ia ia i ke alii o Babulona: alakai ae la ia ia iloko o na wahi e paa ai, i ole e lohe hou ia kona leo maluna o na mauna o ka Iseraela.
10 Your mother is like a vine in your blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
O kou makuwahine, ua like ia me ke kumu waina iloko o kou koko, i kanuia ma na wai; paapu ia i ka hua a me na lala he nui, no ka nui o na wai.
11 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
He mau kookoo paa kona i mau hoailonamoi no ka poe e alii ana, a ua hookiekieia kona kino mawaena o na lala paapu: ua ikeia hoi ia i kona kiekie ana ma ka lehulehu o kona poe lala.
12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.
Aka, uhukiia'e la ia me ka ukiuki; kiolaia iho la ia ilalo i ka lepo: hoomaloo ae la ka makani hikina i kona mau hua; uhaiia iho la kona mau kookoo paa; a hoopau iho la ke ahi ia lakou.
13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
Ua kanuia'e nei ia ma ka waonahele, ma ka aina maloo a me ka makewai.
14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which has devoured her fruit, so that she has no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
Ua puka ae la ke ahi mailoko ae o kekahi kookoo o kona mau lala; ua hoopau ae la ia i kona hua, i ole hoi ona kookoo paa i hoailonamoi e alii ai. He kanikau keia, a he mea ia e kanikau ai.
