< Kanikau 1 >

1 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!
[ALEPH-BET] How she has sat alone, The city abounding with people! She has been as a widow, The mighty among nations! Princes among provinces, She has become tributary!
2 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.
She weeps severely in the night, And her tear [is] on her cheeks, There is no comforter for her out of all her lovers, All her friends dealt treacherously by her, They have been to her for enemies.
3 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.
Removed has Judah because of affliction, And because of the abundance of her service; She has dwelt among nations, She has not found rest, All her pursuers have overtaken her between the straits.
4 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.
The ways of Zion are mourning, Without any coming at the appointed time, All her gates are desolate, her priests sigh, Her virgins are afflicted—and she has bitterness.
5 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.
Her adversaries have become chief, Her enemies have been at ease, For YHWH has afflicted her, For the abundance of her transgressions, Her infants have gone captive before the adversary.
6 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.
And all her honor goes out from the daughter of Zion, Her princes have been as harts—They have not found pasture, And they go powerless before a pursuer.
7 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.
Jerusalem has remembered [In] the days of her affliction and her mournings, all her desirable things that were from the days of old, In the falling of her people into the hand of an adversary, And she has no helper; Adversaries have seen her, They have laughed at her cessation.
8 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.
A sin has Jerusalem sinned, Therefore she has become impure, All who honored her have esteemed her lightly, For they have seen her nakedness, Indeed, she herself has sighed and turns backward.
9 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.
Her uncleanness [is] in her skirts, She has not remembered her latter end, And she comes down wonderfully, There is no comforter for her. See, O YHWH, my affliction, For an enemy has exerted himself.
10 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.
His hand has spread out an adversary On all her desirable things, For she has seen—Nations have entered her sanctuary, Concerning which You commanded, “They do not come into the assembly to you.”
11 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.
All her people are sighing—seeking bread, They have given their desirable things For food to refresh the body; See, O YHWH, and behold attentively, For I have been lightly esteemed.
12 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.
[Is it] nothing to you, all you passing by the way? Look attentively, and see, If there is any pain like my pain, That He is rolling to me? Whom YHWH has afflicted In the day of the fierceness of His anger.
13 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.
From above He has sent fire into my bone, And it subdues it, He has spread a net for my feet, He has turned me backward, He has made me desolate—all the day sick.
14 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.
Bound has been the yoke of my transgressions by His hand, They are wrapped together, They have gone up on my neck, He has caused my power to stumble, The Lord has given me into hands, I am not able to rise.
15 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.
The Lord has trodden down all my mighty ones in my midst, He proclaimed an appointed time against me, To destroy my young men, The Lord has trodden a winepress, To the virgin daughter of Judah.
16 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.
For these I am weeping, My eye, my eye, is running down with waters, For a comforter has been far from me, Refreshing my soul, My sons have been desolate, For mighty has been an enemy.
17 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.
Zion has spread forth her hands, There is no comforter for her, YHWH has charged concerning Jacob, His neighbors [are] his adversaries, Jerusalem has become impure among them.
18 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.
YHWH is righteous, For I have provoked His mouth. Now hear, all you peoples, and see my pain, My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
19 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.
I called for my lovers, they have deceived me, My priests and my elderly have expired in the city; When they have sought food for themselves, Then they give back their soul.
20 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.
See, O YHWH, for distress [is] to me, My bowels have been troubled, My heart has been turned in my midst, For I have greatly provoked, From outside the sword has bereaved, In the house [it is] as death.
21 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.
They have heard that I have sighed, There is no comforter for me, All my enemies have heard of my calamity, They have rejoiced that You have done [it], You have brought in the day You have called, And they are like to me.
22 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.
All their evil comes in before You, And one is doing to them as You have done to me, For all my transgressions, For many [are] my sighs, and my heart [is] sick!
