Lamentations 1
1 How is seated alone, the city that abounded with people, hath become as a widow, —She who abounded among the nations was a princess among provinces, hath come under tribute.
NANI ka noho mehameha ana o ke kulanakauhale i piha i kanaka! Ua like hoi me ka wahine kanemake! He nui oia iwaena o na lahuikauaka, He alii wahine iwaena o na aina; Ua auhauia nae i ka hana!
2 She, weepeth sore, in the night, and, her tear, is on her cheek, She hath none to comfort her, of all her lovers, —All her friends, have betrayed her, have become her foes.
Uwe nui oia i ka po, Aia no kona waimaka ma kona mau papalina: Aohe mea nana ia e hoomaha aku iwaena o ka poe a pau i aloha aku ia ia. Ua hana aku kona poe makamaka a pau ia ia ma ka wahahee, Ua lilo lakou i poe enemi nona.
3 Carried away captive is Judah—because of oppression, and because of great servitude, She, hath remained among the nations, hath found no place of rest, —All her pursuers, have overtaken her, between straits.
Ua lawepioia o ka Iuda, no ka popilikia, a no ka hookauwa nui ia: Ke noho nei ia iwaena o ko na aina e, Aole i loaa ia ia ka hoomaha; Loaa no ia iloko o ka pilikia i ka poe a pau i hahai ia ia.
4 The ways to Zion, are mourning, because none come to her appointed feasts, All her gates, are desolate, her priests, are sighing, —her virgins, are grieved, and, she, it is bitter for her.
Kumakena no na alanui o Ziona, No ka hele ole mai o lakou i ka ahaaina: Ua mehameha kona mau pukapa a pau; Ke kaniuhu nei kona mau kahuna pule, Ua hoopilikiaia kona mau wahine puupaa, A ua kaumaha loa no ia.
5 Her adversaries have become chief, her foes, are at ease, for, Yahweh, hath grieved her, because of the multitude of her transgressions, —Her children, have gone into captivity, before the adversary.
Ua lilo kona poe enemi i poo, Ua maluhia hoi ka poe i huhu ia ia; No ka mea, ua hookaumaha mai o Iehova ia ia no ka nui o kona hewa; Ua hele pio aku la kana poe keiki imua o ke alo o ka enemi.
6 Thus hath gone forth from the daughter of Zion, all that adorned her, —Her princes have become like harts that have found no pasture, and have gone strengthless before the pursuer.
Ua hele aku la ka nani a pau o ke kaikamahine o Ziona; Ua like hoi kona mau alii me na dia loaa ole ka ai, Ua hele hoi lakou me ka ikaika ole imua o ka mea nana e hahai.
7 Jerusalem hath remembered in the days of her humiliation and her fleeings—all her precious things, which have existed from the days of old, —Now that her people have been falling into the hand of the adversary, with none to help her, the adversaries have seen her, have mocked over her sabbath-keepings.
I na la o kona kaumaha, a me kona hoinoia, Hoomanao iho la o Ierusalema i kona mau mea a pau i makemakeia, Na mea i loaa ia ia i na la mamua, I ka wa i haule ai kona poe kanaka iloko o ka lima o ka enemi, Aohe hoi mea i kokua ia ia. Ike aku la na enemi ia ia, a hoowahawaha iho la i kona mau Sabati.
8 Jerusalem, hath grievously sinned, For this cause, unto exile, hath she been delivered, —All who used to honour her, have despised her, for they have descried her unseemliness, yea, she herself, hath sighed, and turned back.
Ua hana hewa nui loa aku o Ierusalema; Nolaila oia i kuewa wale aku ai; O ka poe a pau i hoomaikai ia ia, Ke hoowahawaha nei lakou ia ia, No ka mea, ua ike lakou i kona wahi hilahila; Oia, ke kaniuhu nei oia, a huli ihope.
9 Her impurity, is in her skirts, She hath not remembered her hereafter, Therefore hath she come down wonderfully, none to comfort her, —Behold, O Yahweh, my humiliation, that the foe, hath made himself great.
Aia no kona haumia ma kona hualole, Aole ia i hoomanao i kona hope loa; Nolaila haule kupanaha iho la oia; Aohe mea nana e hoomaha ia ia. E Iehova, e nana mai oe i ko'u pilikia; No ka mea, ua hookiekie ka enemi.
10 His hand, hath the adversary spread out, over all her precious things, —for she saw that, the nations, entered her sanctuary, as to whom thou didst command they should not enter—in the convocation—unto thee!
Ua hohola aku ka enemi i kona lima maluna o kona mau mea a pau i makemakeia; No ka mea, ua ike aku oia i ko na aina e, e komo ana iloko o kona wahi hoano, Ka poe au i kauoha'i, aole lakou e komo iloko o ke anaina kanaka iou la.
11 All her people, are sighing, seeking bread, They have given their precious things for food, to bring back life, —Behold, O Yahweh, and discern, that I have become worthless.
Ua kaniuhu no kona poe kanaka a pau, Ke imi nei lakou i ka ai; Ua haawi lakou i ko lakou mau mea, i mea ai, e hoihoi mai ai i ke ola; E nana mai oe, e Iehova, a e manao mai; No ka mea, ua lilo au i mea ino.
12 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Look around and see, whether there is pain like my pain, which is severely dealt out to me, —in that Yahweh, hath caused grief, in the day of the glow of his anger?
He mea ole ia ia oukou a pau, e hele ae nei ma ke ala? E nana mai nae, a e ike, Ina e like kekahi ehaeha me ko'u ehaeha, Ka mea i kauia maluna o'u, Ka mea a Iehova i hookaumaha mai ai ia'u, I ka la o kona inaina nui.
13 From on high, sent he fire, among my bones, and laid them prostrate, —He spread out a net for my feet, he made me turn back, he made me desolate, all the day, faint.
Mailuna mai oia i hoouna mai ai i ke ahi iloko o ko'u mau iwi, A iho mai la ia iloko olaila. Ua uhola mai oia i upena no ko'u mau wawae, Ua hoihoi hope mai oia ia'u. Ua haawi mai oia i ka mehameha a me ka maule ia'u a pau ka la.
14 The yoke of my transgressions, hath been bound, by his hand—They have intertwined themselves, have come up on my neck, it hath paralysed my strength, —My Lord, hath delivered me, into the hands of those against whom I cannot rise up.
Ua hoopaaia e kona lima ka auamo o ko'u mau hewa; Ua ulanaia, a ua kauia maluna o ko'u a i; Ua hoonawaliwali mai oia i ko'u ikaika, Ua haawi mai ka Haku ia'u iloko o na lima, Hiki ole ia'u ke ku iluna.
15 My Lord, hath flouted at all my magnates, in my midst, He hath called against me a host, to crush my young men, —A winepress, hath My Lord trodden, to the virgin, the daughter of Judah.
Ua hoowahawaha mai ka Haku i ko'u poe koikoi a pau iloko o'u, Ua kahea mai oia i ka ahakanaka e ku e mai ia'u, E luku i ko'u poe kanaka ui: Ua hahi ka Haku i ka luawaina o ke kaikamahine puupaa o ka Iuda.
16 For these things, am, I, weeping, Mine eye, mine eye, is running down with waters, for, far from me, is any who could comfort, could bring back my life, —My sons are amazed, for strong is the foe.
O keia mau mea ka'u e uwe nei, O kuu maka, ke kahe nei kuu maka i ka wai, No ka mea, ua loihi mai o'u aku nei ka mea hoomaha, nana e hoomaha mai i ko'u uhane: Ua mehameha ka'u poe keiki, no ka mea, ua lanakila ka enemi.
17 Zion, hath spread forth, her hands, there is none to comfort her, Yahweh, hath given command, respecting Jacob, unto them who surround him—his adversaries, —Jerusalem, hath become as a removed woman, in their midst.
Hohola ae la o Ziona i kona mau lima, Aohe mea nana ia e hoomaha mai. Ua kauoha mai o Iehova no Iakoba, E kaapuni kona poe enemi ia ia: Ua lilo o Ierusalema i mea haumia iwaena o lakou.
18 Righteous is Yahweh, for, against his bidding, had I rebelled, —Hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and see my pain, My virgins and my young men, have gone into exile.
O Iehova, ua hemolele oia; No ka mea, ua ku e aku au i kona waha; Ke noi aku nei au, e hoolohe mai, e na kanaka a pau, E nana mai hoi i ko'u eha; Ua hele aku la ko'u poe wahine puupaa, a me ko'u poe kanaka ui iloko o ke pio.
19 I called to my lovers, they, deceived me, My priests and mine elders, in the city, have breathed their last, —for they sought them food, that they might bring back their life.
Kahea aku la au i ka poe i aloha mai ia'u, Wahahee mai lakou ia'u. Kaili aku la ke ea o ka'u mau kahuna, a me ka'u poe lunakahiko, ma ke kulanakauhale, I ka wa e imi ana lakou i ka ai na lakou, I mea e hoihoi mai ai i ko lakou ola.
20 See, O Yahweh, that I am in distress, Mine inward parts, are in ferment, My heart is turned within me, for I have obstinately rebelled, —Without, bereaveth the sword, Within, is like death,
E nana mai oe, e Iehova, no ka mea, ua pilikia au; Ua hu aku ko'u opu, ua kahuli hoi ko'u naau iloko o'u, No ka mea, ua kipi nui loa aku au. Ma kahi e aku, na ka pahikaua i hoopau i na keiki, A ma ko makou wahi, he make.
21 They have heard—that, sighing am, I, [and am saying] —There is none to comfort me, All my foes, —having heard of my calamity—have rejoiced, because, thou, hast done it, —thou hast brought in the day thou didst proclaim, So let them become like me.
Ua lohe lakou i ko'u kaniuhu ana. Aohe mea nana e hoomaha mai ia'u; Ua lohe no ko'u poe enemi a pau i ko'u popilikia, Ua olioli lakou no kau hana ana pela: E hoopuka mai no oe i ka la au i hai mai ai, E like auanei lakou me au.
22 Let all their wickedness, come in, before thee, and deal thou severely with them, according as thou hast dealt severely with me, for all my transgressions; for many are my sighs, and, my heart, is sick.
E hoopukaia ko lakou hewa a pau imua ou; A e hana aku oe ia lakou, Me kau i hana mai ai ia'u, no ko'u mau hewa a pau; No ka mea, ua nui ko'u kaniuhu ana, ua maule hoi ko'u naau.
