< Lamentations 2 >

1 How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast down the beauty of Israel from heaven to the earth, and has not remembered 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. In his wrath he has thrown down the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and the rulers 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 In fierce anger he has cut off all the horn of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. And he has burned up 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 has stood with his right hand as an adversary, and has slain all who were pleasant to the eye. He has poured out his wrath like fire in the tent of the daughter of Zion.
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 has become as an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed his strongholds. And he has multiplied mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.
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 taken away his tabernacle violently, as a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. Jehovah has caused solemn assembly and sabbath to be forgotten in Zion. And in the indignation of his anger has despised 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 the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
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 Jehovah has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. And he has made the rampart and wall to lament, they languish 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 rulers are among the nations where the law is not. Yea, her prophets find no vision from Jehovah.
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. They 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 My eyes fail with tears, my heart is troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young sons and the sucklings faint 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 grain and wine? when they faint as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is 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 shall I testify to thee? What shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For thy breach is great like the sea; who can heal thee?
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 Thy prophets have seen false and foolish visions for thee. And they have not uncovered thine iniquity, to bring back thy captivity, but have seen for thee false oracles 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 who pass by clap their hands at thee. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men called 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 thine enemies have opened their mouth wide against thee. 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 Jehovah has done that which he purposed. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. And he has caused the enemy to rejoice over thee. He has exalted the horn of thine 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 to the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give thyself no respite. Let not the apple of thine 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, at the beginning of the watches. Pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young sons, who faint for hunger at the head 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 See, O Jehovah, and behold to whom thou have done thus! Shall the women eat their fruit, the sons who are dandled in the hands? 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 youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. Thou have slain them in the day of thine anger. Thou have slaughtered, 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 Thou have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. And there was none who escaped or remained in the day of Jehovah's anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have dandled and brought up.
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.
