Ezekiel 19
1 Take up now a song of grief for the ruler of Israel, and say,
E LAWE hoi oe i ke kanikau no na'lii o ka Iseraela,
2 What was your mother? Like a she-lion among lions, stretched out among the young lions she gave food to her little ones.
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 one of her little ones came to growth under her care, and became a young lion, learning to go after beasts for his food; and he took men for his meat.
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 And the nations had news of him; he was taken in the hole they had made: and, pulling him with hooks, they took him into 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 her hope was made foolish and gone, she took another of her little ones and made him into 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 and became a young lion, learning to go after beasts for his food; and he took men for his meat.
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 sent destruction on their widows and made waste their towns; and the land and everything in it became waste because of the loud sound of his voice.
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 came against him from the kingdoms round about: their net was stretched over him and he was taken in the hole they had made.
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 They made him a prisoner with hooks, and took him to the king of Babylon; they put him in the strong place so that his voice might be sounding no longer on 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 was in comparison like a vine, planted by the waters: she was fertile and full of branches because of the great 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 a strong rod for a rod of authority for the rulers, and it became tall among the clouds and it was seen lifted up among the number of its 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 uprooted in burning wrath, and made low on the earth; the east wind came, drying her up, and her branches were broken off; her strong rod became dry, the fire made a meal of it.
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 waste land, in a dry and unwatered country.
Ua kanuia'e nei ia ma ka waonahele, ma ka aina maloo a me ka makewai.
14 And fire has gone out from her rod, causing the destruction of her branches, so that there is no strong rod in her to be the ruler's rod of authority. This is a song of grief, and it was for a song of grief.
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.
