Lamentations 3
1 I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
O WAU no ke kanaka i ike i ka popilikia, Malalo o ka laau o kona ukinki.
2 Me hath he led, and brought into darkness, and not into light.
Ua alakai oia ia'u, a ua lawe mai ia'u iloko o ka pouli, Aole iloko o ka malamalama.
3 Surely against me hath he turned again and again his hand all the day.
He oiaio, ua huli ku e mai oia ia'u, Ua huli oia i kona lima e ku e ia'u a pau ka la.
4 My flesh and my skin hath he wasted away, he hath broken my bones.
Ua hoopau oia i ko'u io, a me ko'u ili; Ua uhai oia i ko'u mau iwi.
5 He hath built against me, and encompassed [me] with gall and toil.
Ua kukulu ku e mai oia ia'u, Ua hoopuni mai ia'u i ka awaawa, a me ke kaumaha.
6 He hath made me to dwell in dark places as those that have been long dead.
Ua hoonoho mai oia ia'u ma na wahi pouli, E like me ka poe i make i ka, wa kahiko.
7 He hath hedged me about that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
Ua hoopuni mai oia ia'u i ka pa, i ole au e puka iwaho; Ua hana oia i ko'u kaula keleawe a kaumaha.
8 Even when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
I ka wa a'u e kahea aku ai, a nonoi aku, Pani mai la oia i ka'u pule ana.
9 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
Ua hoopuni mai oia ia'u me na pohaku i kalaiia; Ua hookeekee oia i ko'u mau alanui.
10 He is unto me [as] a bear lying in wait, a lion in secret places.
Ua like oia ia'u me ka bea e hoohalua ana, Me he liona la hoi ma na wahi malu.
11 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he hath made me desolate.
Ua kapae oia i ko'u mau aoao, ua haehae mai ia'u; Ua hoolilo mai oia ia'u i mehameha.
12 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
Ua hoolena oia i kona kakaka, Ua kau oia ia'u me he hoailona la no ka pua.
13 He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
Ua hookomo mai oia i kona mau pua iloko o ko'u opu.
14 I am become a derision to all my people; their song all the day.
He mea akaaka no wau i ko'u poe kanaka a pau; O ko lakou mele akaaka, a pau ka la.
15 He hath sated me with bitterness, he hath made me drunk with wormwood.
Ua hoomaona mai oia ia'u i na mea awaawa, Ua hooona mai oia ia'u i ka laau awahia.
16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
Ua uhai oia i ko'u mau niho i na iliili, Ua uhi mai oia ia'u i ka lehu.
17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I have forgotten prosperity.
Ua kipaku mai oe i ko'u uhane mai ka maiu aku; Poina hoi ia'u ka pomaikai.
18 And I said, My strength is perished, and my hope in Jehovah.
I iho la au, Ua hookiia kuu ikaika, A me ka laua ana o kuu manao, mai Iehova mai;
19 Remember thou mine affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall.
E manao ana hoi au i ko'u popilikia a me ko'u eha, I ka laau awaawa, a me ka laau make.
20 My soul hath [them] constantly in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
Ke manao nui nei ko'u uhane ia mea, Me ke kulou iho iloko o'u.
21 — This I recall to heart, therefore have I hope.
Ke hoihoi mai nei au i keia iloko o ko'u naau, A nolaila, ua laua kuu manao.
22 It is of Jehovah's loving-kindness we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not;
No ka lokomaikai o Iehova, aole kakou i anaiia; No ka pau ole hoi o kona aloha.
23 they are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
He hou mai no i na kakahiaka a pau; Ua nui loa no kou oiaio.
24 Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
O Iehova no ko'u kuleana, wahi a kuu uhane, Nolaila e lana'i kuu manao ia ia.
25 Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul [that] seeketh him.
Ua maikai o Iehova i ka poe kakali ia ia, I ka uhane hoi i imi aku ia ia.
26 It is good that one should both wait, and that in silence, for the salvation of Jehovah.
He mea maikai ke lana ka manao, no ka hoolaia mai e Iehova, me ka ekemu ole hoi.
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth:
He mea maikai i ke kanaka ke lawe i ka auamo i kona wa opiopio.
28 He sitteth solitary and keepeth silence, because he hath laid it upon him;
Ke noho mehameha ia me ka ekemu ole, No ka mea, [na ke Akua no] i kau ia mea maluna ona.
29 he putteth his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope;
Ke waiho hoi ia i kona waha ma ka lepo, Ina paha e loaa ia ia ka laua o ka manao.
30 he giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him; he is filled full with reproach.
Ke haawi no hoi oia i kona papalina i ka mea nana ia e hahau; Ke hoopihaia oia i ka hoowahawahaia.
31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever;
Aole nae e kipaku mau loa aku o ka Haku;
32 but if he have caused grief, he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses:
Ina e hookaumaha mai oia, e aloha mai no ia, E like me ka nui o kona lokomaikai.
33 for he doth not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men.
Aole no kona makemake ia e hookaumaha mai ai, A hoeha i na keiki a kanaka.
34 To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
E hahi malalo iho o kona mau wawae, I na mea pio a pau o ka honua,
35 to turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
E hoohuli ae i ka pono o ke kanaka, Mai ka maka ae o ka Mea kiekie,
36 to wrong a man in his cause, — will not the Lord see it?
E hana kekee i ke kanaka i kona hookolokoloia, Aole i apono mai ka Haku ia mau mea.
37 Who is he that saith, and there cometh to pass, what the Lord hath not commanded?
Owai ka mea nana e olelo, a ko no, Ke kauoha ole mai ka Haku?
38 Out of the mouth of the Most High doth not there proceed evil and good?
Mai ka waha mai o ka Mea kiekie, Aole i puka mai ka hewa, a me ka maikai,
39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
No ke aha la e ohumu ai ke kanaka e ola ana, O ke kanaka hoi no kona hoopaiia?
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.
E huli kakou i ke ano o ko kakou mau aoao, E hoao hoi, a e hoi hou aku ia Iehova.
41 Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens.
E hapai kakou i ko kakou mau naau a me na lima, I ke Akua iloko o ka lani.
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
Ua hana hewa aku makou, a na kipi, Aole no hoi oe i kala mai.
43 Thou hast covered thyself with anger, and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not spared.
Ua uhi mai oia ia makou i ka huhu, a ua hoomaau mai; Ua pepehi mai oe, aole i aloha mai.
44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that prayer should not pass through.
Ua uhi no oe ia oe iho i ke ao, I komo ole aku ai ka pule.
45 Thou hast made us the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
Ua hoonoho oe ia makou i lepo i kahiliia. A i mea i hoowahawahaia iwaena o na kanaka.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.
Ua hamama ku e mai ia makou na waha a pau o ko makou poe enemi.
47 Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and ruin.
Eia no imua o makou, ka makau a me ka lua, O ka lukuia, a me ke anaiia.
48 Mine eye runneth down with streams of water for the ruin of the daughter of my people.
Ke kahe nei na muliwai ma ko'u mau maka, No ke anaiia o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka.
49 Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
Ko kulu nei no ko'u maka, aole hooki, Aole hoi i hoomaha,
50 till Jehovah look down and behold from the heavens.
A nana mai o Iehova, a ike, mai ka lani mai.
51 Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
Ke hoeha ko'u maka i ko'u naau, no na kaikamahine a pau o ko'u kulanakauhale.
52 They that are mine enemies without cause have chased me sore like a bird.
Me he manu la i hahai hala ole mai ai ko'u poe enemi ia'u me ka ikaika.
53 They have cut off my life in a pit, and cast a stone upon me.
Ua hooki lakou i ko'u ola ma ka lua, Ua hoolei mai i ka pohaku maluna o'u.
54 Waters streamed over my head; I said, I am cut off.
Kahe ae la na wai maluna o kuu poo, Alaila, olelo iho la au, Ua hookiia mai au.
55 I called upon thy name, Jehovah, out of the lowest pit.
Kahea aku la au i kou inoa, o Iehova, Mailoko ae o ka lua hohonu.
56 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my sighing, at my cry.
Ua lohe no oe i ko'u leo; Mai huna oe i kou pepeiao, i ko'u hanu ana, a me ko'u kahea ana.
57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou saidst, Fear not.
Hookokoke mai no oe i ka la a'u i kahea aku ai la oe; I mai la hoi oe, Mai makau.
58 Lord, thou hast pleaded the cause of my soul, thou hast redeemed my life.
E ka Haku, ua kokua mai oe ia'u i ka hoopiiia o kuu uhane; Nau no i hoolapanai i ko'u ola.
59 Jehovah, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
E Iehova, ua ike no oe i ko'u hookaumahaia, Nau no e hooponopono i ko'u hihia.
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance, all their imaginations against me.
Ua ike no oe i ko lakou hoomaau ana a pau, A me ko lakou mau manao ku e ia'u a pau.
61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, all their imaginations against me;
E Iehova, ua lohe no oe i ko lakou hoowahawaha ana, A me ko lakou mau manao ku e ia'u a pau:
62 the lips of those that rise up against me and their meditation against me all the day.
I na olelo a ka poe i ala ku e mai ia'u, A me ko lakou imi ku e ia'u a pau ka la.
63 Behold thou their sitting down and their rising up: I am their song.
E nana i ko lakou noho ana ilalo, a me ko lakou ku ana iluna, owau no ko lakou mele akaaka.
64 Render unto them a recompence, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands;
E hoihoi oe i ka hoopai ana maluna o lakou, e Iehova, E like hoi me ka hana ana a ko lakou mau lima.
65 give them obduracy of heart, thy curse unto them;
E haawi oe ia lakou i ke kaumaha o ka naau, I kou hoino hoi, ia lakou.
66 pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah.
Me ka huhu oe e hahai aku ai, A e luku aku ia lakou, mailalo aku o na lani o Iehova.
