Lamentations 1
1 The city that once was full of people is now sitting all alone. She has become like a widow, though she was a mighty nation. She was a princess among the nations, but is now forced into slavery.
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 weeps and wails in the night, and her tears cover her cheeks. None of her lovers comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her. They have become her enemies.
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 After poverty and affliction, Judah has gone into exile. She lives among the nations and finds no rest. All her pursuers overtook her in her desperation.
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 roads of Zion mourn because none come to the appointed feasts. All her gates are desolate. Her priests groan. Her virgins are sorrowful and she herself is in complete distress.
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 her master; her enemies prosper. Yahweh has afflicted her for her many sins. Her little children go into captivity to her 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 Beauty has left the daughter of Zion. Her princes have become like deer that cannot find pasture, and they go without strength before their 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 In the days of her affliction and her homelessness, Jerusalem will call to mind all her precious treasures that she had in former days. When her people fell into the hand of the adversary, no one helped her. The adversaries saw her and laughed at her destruction.
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 sinned greatly, therefore, she has become scorned as something that is filthy. All who honored her now despise her since they have seen her nakedness. She groans and tries to turn away.
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 She has become unclean beneath her skirts. She did not think about her future. Her fall was terrible. There was no one to comfort her. She cried out, “Look at my affliction, Yahweh, for the enemy has become too 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 The adversary has put his hand on all our precious treasures. She has seen the nations enter her sanctuary, even though you had commanded that they must not enter into your assembly place.
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 groan as they search for bread. They have given their precious treasures for food to restore their lives. Look, Yahweh, and consider me, for 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 you who pass by? Look and see if there is anyone else's sorrow like the sorrow that is being inflicted on me, since Yahweh has tormented me on the day of his fierce 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 It is from on high that he has sent fire into my bones, and it has conquered them. He has spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He has made me constantly desolate and weak.
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 is bound together by his hand. They are knit together and placed upon my neck. He has made my strength fail. The Lord has given me over into their hands, and I am not able to stand.
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 The Lord has tossed aside all my mighty men who defended me. He has called an assembly against me to crush my vigorous men. The Lord has trampled the virgin daughter of Judah in the winepress.
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 I weep, my eyes overflow with tears; for a comforter is far from me, one who restores my life. My children are desolate because the enemy has conquered me.
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 has spread her hands wide; there is none to comfort her. Yahweh has commanded that those around Jacob should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is something unclean to them.
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 Yahweh is righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment. Hear, all you peoples, and see my sorrow. My virgins and my vigorous men have gone into captivity.
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 for my friends, but they were treacherous toward me. My priests and my elders perished in the city, while they sought food to restore their lives.
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 Look, Yahweh, for I am in distress; my stomach churns, my heart is disturbed within me, for I have been very rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves a mother, inside the house there is only 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 my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble and they are glad that you have done it. You have brought the day you promised; now 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 before you. deal with them as you have dealt with me because of all my transgressions. My groans are many and my heart is faint.
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.
