< Lamentations 2 >

1 How has the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
NANI ka uhi pouli ana o ka Haku i ke kaikamahine o Ziona i kona huhu! Ua kiola mai oia i ka nani o ka Iseraela, mai ka lani a i ka honua, Aole manao i kona keehana wawae i ka la o kona inaina!
2 The LORD has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied: he has thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he has brought them down to the ground: he has polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
Ua moni aloha ole ka Haku i na wahi noho a pau o ka Iakoba, I ka hanini ana o kona huhu: Ua hoohiolo oia i na pakaua o ke kaikamahine o Iuda, Ua hoohaahaa oia ia ia ilalo i ka lepo; Ua hoohaumia oia i ke aupuni, a me kona mau alii.
3 He has cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours round about.
I ka wela ana o kona ukiuki, Ua okioki ae oia i na pepeiaohao a pau o ka Iseraela. Ua hoihoi hope oia i kona lima akau mai ke alo aku o ka enemi; Ua hoopau oia ia Iakoba, e like me ke ahi lapalapa i ai i na wahi a puni.
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
Ua hoolena oia i kona kakaka e like me ka enemi; Ua kupaa oia me kona lima akau e like me ka mea ku e, A ua luku mai oia i na mea a pau i makemakeia e ka maka; Maluna o ka halelewa o ke kaikamahine o Ziona, Ua ninini aku la oia i kona inaina e like me ke ahi.
5 The LORD was as an enemy: he has swallowed up Israel, he has swallowed up all her palaces: he has destroyed his strong holds, and has increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
Ua like ka Haku me ka enemi; Ua moni oia i ka Iseraela, Ua moni oia i kona mau halealii a pau, Ua hoopau hoi i kona mau pakaua, Ua hoonui oia i ke kumakena, a me ke kaniuhu ana maloko o ke kaikamahine o Iuda,
6 And he has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he has destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD has caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and has despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
Ua wawahi ino oia i kona pa, e like me ko ke kihapai; Ua hoopau oia i kona mau la ahaaina. Ua hoolilo o Iehova i na ahabalawai, a me na Sabati, i mea hoopoina wale ia ma Ziona; I ka wewela ana o kona huhu, ua hoowahawaha oia i ke alii, a me ke kahuna.
7 The LORD has cast off his altar, he has abhorred his sanctuary, he has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
Ua hoopailua ka Haku i kona kuahu, Ua hoowahawaha oia i kona wahi laa, Ua haawi oia iloko o ka lima o ka enemi i na pa o kona mau halealii, Ua walaau lakou iloko o ka hale o Iehova, e like me ka la ahaaina.
8 The LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he has stretched out a line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
Ua manao o Iehova e wawahi i ka pa o ke kaikamahine o Ziona; Ua hoomoe oia i ke kaula-aua, Aole ia i hoihoi mai i kona lima, mai ka luku ana; Hookanikau oia i ka pakaua, a me ka pahale, Kanikau pu no lakou.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.
Ua poho kona mau pukapa iloko o ka lepo, Ua wawahi oia, a ua uhai i kona mau kaola; Aia no kona mau alii, a me kona mau haku iwaena o ko na aina e; Aohe kanawai; Aole i loaa i kona mau kaula ka hoike ana mai o Iehova mai.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
Ke noho nei no na lunakahiko o ke kaikamahine o Ziona ma ka honua, me ka ekemu ole; Ua hoolei i ka lepo maluna o ko lakou mau poo, Ua kaei lakou ia lakou iho me ke kapa ino; Kulou no na poo o na wahine puupaa o Ierusalema ilalo i ka honua.
11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.
No ko'u uwe ana, ua pau ko'u mau maka, Ua hu ko'u naau iwaho, Ua hanini ko'u ake iwaho ma ka lepo, No ka make ana o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka; No ka mea, ua maule na keiki a me na mea ai waiu ma na alanui o ke kulanakauhale.
12 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.
Ke olelo nei lakou i ko lakou poe makuwahine, Auhea ka berena, a me ka waina? No ka mea, ua maule lakou e like me ka poe i houia ma na alanui o ke kulanakauhale, Ua kaili aku hoi ko lakou ea ma ka poli o ko lakou poe makuwahine.
13 What thing shall I take to witness for you? what thing shall I liken to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to you, that I may comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your breach is great like the sea: who can heal you?
Heaha ka mea a'u e lawe ai i mea hoike na'u? Heaha ka mea a'u e hoohalike ai ia oe, e ke kaikamahine o Ierusalema? Heaha ka mea a'u e kau like ai me oe, I hoomaha aku ai au ia oe, e ke kaikamahine puupaa o Ziona? No ka mea, ua laula kou wawahiia, e like me ke kai; Owai ka mea hoola aku ia oe?
14 Your prophets have seen vain and foolish things for you: and they have not discovered your iniquity, to turn away your captivity; but have seen for you false burdens and causes of banishment.
Ua ike kou mau kaula i na mea hewa, a me na mea lapuwale nou; Aole nae lakou i wehe i ka pale o kou hewa, I mea e hoihoi ai i kou pio ana; Aka, ua ike lakou i na wanana wahahee nou, a me na hoowalewale.
15 All that pass by clap their hands at you; they hiss and shake their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
O ka poe a pau e hele ae nei ma ke alo, paipai no lakou i ko lakou lima ia oe; E hoowahawaha no lakou, A e hookunokunou i ko lakou mau poo, i ke kaikamahine o Ierusalema, O keia anei ke kulanakauhale a lakou i kapa'i Ka mea nani loa, Ka mea e hauoli ai ko ka honua a pau?
16 all of your enemies have opened their mouth against you: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
Ua oaka ae Ia kou poe enemi a pau i ko lakou waha ia oe, Hoowahawaha lakou, a kui na niho; I mai la lakou, Ua moni kakou ia ia; Oiaio, eia ka la a kakou i makemake ai, Ua loaa ia kakou, ua ike kakou.
17 The LORD has done that which he had devised; he has fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he has thrown down, and has not pitied: and he has caused your enemy to rejoice over you, he has set up the horn of your adversaries.
Ua hana o Iehova i ka mea ana i manao ai, Ua hooko oia i kana olelo ana i kauoha mai ai i na la mamua; Ua hoohiolo oia, aole i aloha mai; Ua hoohauoli oia i ka enemi maluna ou, Ua hookiekie oia i ka pepeiaohao o kou poe enemi.
18 Their heart cried unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give yourself no rest; let not the apple of your eye cease.
Kahea aku la ko lakou naau i ka Haku, E ka papohaku o ke kaikamahine o Ziona, E hookahe i na waimaka me he muliwai la i ke ao me ka po; Mai hoomaha ia oe iho, Mai hoomaha ka onohi o kou maka.
19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out your heart like water before the face of the LORD: lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
E ku mai iluna, e uwe aku i ka po; I ka makamua o na wati i ka po, E ninini aku i kou naau me he wai la, imua o ka maka o ka Haku. E hapai i kou mau lima io na la, no ke oia o na keiki opiopio ou, Ka poe i maule no ka pololi ma ke poo o na alanui a pau.
20 Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom you have done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
E nana mai, e Ienhova, A e hoomanao i ka mea au i hana ino aku ai i keia. E ai anei na wahine i ka lakou hua iho? I na keiki hoi e hiipoiia'na? E pepehiia anei ke kahuna, a me ke kaula, ma kahi hoano o ka Haku?
21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; you have slain them in the day of your anger; you have killed, and not pitied.
Ua moe no ka opiopio, a me ka elemakule ma ka lepo ma na alanui; Ua hina ko'u mau wahine puupaa, a me ko'u poe kanaka ui i ka pahikaua; Ua luku mai oe ia lakou i ka la o kou inaina, Ua pepehi mai no oe, aole i aloha.
22 You have called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up has mine enemy consumed.
Ua kahea aku oe i ko'u mau mea weliweli a puni, e like me ka la ahaaina, Aohe hoi mea pakele, a koe mai, i ka la o ko Iehova huhu; Ka poe a'u i hii ai, a malama, Ua hoopau ka enemi ia lakou.
