Ezekiel 19
1 Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the rulers of Israel,
E LAWE hoi oe i ke kanikau no na'lii o ka Iseraela,
2 and say, What was thy mother? A lioness. She couched among lions. In the midst of the young lions she nourished her whelps.
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. He became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey. He 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 hooks to 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 he learned to catch the prey. He 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 palaces, and laid waste their cities. And the land was desolate, and the fullness of it, because of 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 they 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 a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into strongholds, 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 Thy mother was like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters. It was fruitful and full of branches because 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 it had strong twigs for the scepters of those who bore rule. And their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their 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 it was plucked up in fury. It was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong twigs were broken off 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 it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
Ua kanuia'e nei ia ma ka waonahele, ma ka aina maloo a me ka makewai.
14 And fire has gone out of the twigs of its branches. It has devoured its fruit, so that there is no strong twig in it to be a scepter 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.
