Ezekiel 19
1 Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
E LAWE hoi oe i ke kanikau no na'lii o ka Iseraela,
2 and say: How was thy mother a lioness; among lions she couched, in the midst of the young lions she reared 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 Then the nations assembled against him, he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks unto 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 was disappointed, 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 castles, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, 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 cried out 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; that they might bring him into strongholds, so 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 likeness, planted by the waters; she was fruitful and full of branches by reason 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 she had strong rods to be sceptres for them that bore rule; and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she was seen in her height with the multitude of her tendrils.
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 plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit; her strong rods were broken off and withered, the fire consumed her.
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 wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
Ua kanuia'e nei ia ma ka waonahele, ma ka aina maloo a me ka makewai.
14 And fire is gone out of the rod of her branches, it hath devoured her fruit, so that there is in her no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule.' This is a lamentation, and it was 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.
