Kanikau 2
1 NANI ka uhi pouli ana o ka Haku i ke kaikamahine o Ziona i kona huhu! Ua kiola mai oia i ka nani o ka Iseraela, mai ka lani a i ka honua, Aole manao i kona keehana wawae i ka la o kona inaina!
Oh how hath the Lord covered in his anger the daughter of Zion with a cloud; he hath cast down from heaven unto the earth the ornament of Israel; and he hath not remembered his footstool on the day of his anger!
2 Ua moni aloha ole ka Haku i na wahi noho a pau o ka Iakoba, I ka hanini ana o kona huhu: Ua hoohiolo oia i na pakaua o ke kaikamahine o Iuda, Ua hoohaahaa oia ia ia ilalo i ka lepo; Ua hoohaumia oia i ke aupuni, a me kona mau alii.
The Lord hath destroyed and hath not pitied all the habitation of Jacob: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong-holds of the daughter of Judah: he hath thrown them down to the ground; he hath defiled the kingdom and its princes.
3 I ka wela ana o kona ukiuki, Ua okioki ae oia i na pepeiaohao a pau o ka Iseraela. Ua hoihoi hope oia i kona lima akau mai ke alo aku o ka enemi; Ua hoopau oia ia Iakoba, e like me ke ahi lapalapa i ai i na wahi a puni.
He hath hewn away in his fierce anger the whole horn of Israel; he hath drawn back his right hand before the enemy; and he burnt against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
4 Ua hoolena oia i kona kakaka e like me ka enemi; Ua kupaa oia me kona lima akau e like me ka mea ku e, A ua luku mai oia i na mea a pau i makemakeia e ka maka; Maluna o ka halelewa o ke kaikamahine o Ziona, Ua ninini aku la oia i kona inaina e like me ke ahi.
He bent his bow like an enemy; he held out his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye: in the tent of the daughter of Zion did he pour out like fire his fury.
5 Ua like ka Haku me ka enemi; Ua moni oia i ka Iseraela, Ua moni oia i kona mau halealii a pau, Ua hoopau hoi i kona mau pakaua, Ua hoonui oia i ke kumakena, a me ke kaniuhu ana maloko o ke kaikamahine o Iuda,
The Lord became like an enemy; he destroyed Israel, he destroyed all her palaces, he ruined her strong-holds, and he increased in the midst of the daughter of Judah groaning and wailing.
6 Ua wawahi ino oia i kona pa, e like me ko ke kihapai; Ua hoopau oia i kona mau la ahaaina. Ua hoolilo o Iehova i na ahabalawai, a me na Sabati, i mea hoopoina wale ia ma Ziona; I ka wewela ana o kona huhu, ua hoowahawaha oia i ke alii, a me ke kahuna.
And he violently wasted, as if it were a garden, his tabernacle; he destroyed his place of assembly: [yea, ] the Lord hath caused to be forgotten in Zion the solemn feast and the day of rest, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger both king and priest.
7 Ua hoopailua ka Haku i kona kuahu, Ua hoowahawaha oia i kona wahi laa, Ua haawi oia iloko o ka lima o ka enemi i na pa o kona mau halealii, Ua walaau lakou iloko o ka hale o Iehova, e like me ka la ahaaina.
The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath made void his sanctuary, he hath surrendered into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: they have made their voice to resound in the house of the Lord, as on a day of a solemn feast.
8 Ua manao o Iehova e wawahi i ka pa o ke kaikamahine o Ziona; Ua hoomoe oia i ke kaula-aua, Aole ia i hoihoi mai i kona lima, mai ka luku ana; Hookanikau oia i ka pakaua, a me ka pahale, Kanikau pu no lakou.
The Lord hath resolved to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; he stretched out the measuring-line, he withdrew not his hand from destroying: and he caused the rampart and the wall to mourn; together they languish.
9 Ua poho kona mau pukapa iloko o ka lepo, Ua wawahi oia, a ua uhai i kona mau kaola; Aia no kona mau alii, a me kona mau haku iwaena o ko na aina e; Aohe kanawai; Aole i loaa i kona mau kaula ka hoike ana mai o Iehova mai.
Sunk into the ground are her gates, he hath ruined and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the nations without any law; her prophets also obtain no more any vision from the Lord.
10 Ke noho nei no na lunakahiko o ke kaikamahine o Ziona ma ka honua, me ka ekemu ole; Ua hoolei i ka lepo maluna o ko lakou mau poo, Ua kaei lakou ia lakou iho me ke kapa ino; Kulou no na poo o na wahine puupaa o Ierusalema ilalo i ka honua.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, they keep silence: they have thrown dust upon their head; they have girt themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem have brought down low their head to the ground.
11 No ko'u uwe ana, ua pau ko'u mau maka, Ua hu ko'u naau iwaho, Ua hanini ko'u ake iwaho ma ka lepo, No ka make ana o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka; No ka mea, ua maule na keiki a me na mea ai waiu ma na alanui o ke kulanakauhale.
My eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are heated, my liver is poured upon the earth because of the breach of the daughter of my people; because babes and sucklings faint away in the streets of the town.
12 Ke olelo nei lakou i ko lakou poe makuwahine, Auhea ka berena, a me ka waina? No ka mea, ua maule lakou e like me ka poe i houia ma na alanui o ke kulanakauhale, Ua kaili aku hoi ko lakou ea ma ka poli o ko lakou poe makuwahine.
To their mothers they say, Where is corn and wine? when they faint away like the deadly wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out on the bosom of their mother.
13 Heaha ka mea a'u e lawe ai i mea hoike na'u? Heaha ka mea a'u e hoohalike ai ia oe, e ke kaikamahine o Ierusalema? Heaha ka mea a'u e kau like ai me oe, I hoomaha aku ai au ia oe, e ke kaikamahine puupaa o Ziona? No ka mea, ua laula kou wawahiia, e like me ke kai; Owai ka mea hoola aku ia oe?
What shall I take to witness for thee? what shall I compare unto thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I find equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for great like the sea is thy breach; who can bring healing to thee?
14 Ua ike kou mau kaula i na mea hewa, a me na mea lapuwale nou; Aole nae lakou i wehe i ka pale o kou hewa, I mea e hoihoi ai i kou pio ana; Aka, ua ike lakou i na wanana wahahee nou, a me na hoowalewale.
Thy prophets foresaw for thee vain and deceptive things; and they did not lay open thy iniquity, to cause thy backsliders to return: but they foresaw for thee prophecies of falsehood and seduction.
15 O ka poe a pau e hele ae nei ma ke alo, paipai no lakou i ko lakou lima ia oe; E hoowahawaha no lakou, A e hookunokunou i ko lakou mau poo, i ke kaikamahine o Ierusalema, O keia anei ke kulanakauhale a lakou i kapa'i Ka mea nani loa, Ka mea e hauoli ai ko ka honua a pau?
All that pass by [this] way clap their hands on account of thee; they hiss and shake their head over the daughter of Jerusalem: [saying, ] Is this the city that men called The perfection of beauty. The joy for all the earth?
16 Ua oaka ae Ia kou poe enemi a pau i ko lakou waha ia oe, Hoowahawaha lakou, a kui na niho; I mai la lakou, Ua moni kakou ia ia; Oiaio, eia ka la a kakou i makemake ai, Ua loaa ia kakou, ua ike kakou.
All thy enemies open wide their mouth against thee; they hiss and gnash their teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up: ah, truly this is the day that we hoped for; we have found, we have seen it.
17 Ua hana o Iehova i ka mea ana i manao ai, Ua hooko oia i kana olelo ana i kauoha mai ai i na la mamua; Ua hoohiolo oia, aole i aloha mai; Ua hoohauoli oia i ka enemi maluna ou, Ua hookiekie oia i ka pepeiaohao o kou poe enemi.
The Lord hath done what he had resolved; he hath accomplished his word which he had ordained already in the days of old; he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied; and he hath caused to rejoice over thee thy enemy, he hath raised on high the horn of thy adversaries.
18 Kahea aku la ko lakou naau i ka Haku, E ka papohaku o ke kaikamahine o Ziona, E hookahe i na waimaka me he muliwai la i ke ao me ka po; Mai hoomaha ia oe iho, Mai hoomaha ka onohi o kou maka.
Their heart crieth unto the Lord, O thou wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a stream day and night; allow thyself no rest; let not the apple of thy eye be still.
19 E ku mai iluna, e uwe aku i ka po; I ka makamua o na wati i ka po, E ninini aku i kou naau me he wai la, imua o ka maka o ka Haku. E hapai i kou mau lima io na la, no ke oia o na keiki opiopio ou, Ka poe i maule no ka pololi ma ke poo o na alanui a pau.
Arise, complain aloud in the night, in the beginning of the watches; pour out like water thy heart before the face of the Lord: lift up toward him thy hands because of the life of thy babes, that faint away for hunger at the corner of all the streets.
20 E nana mai, e Ienhova, A e hoomanao i ka mea au i hana ino aku ai i keia. E ai anei na wahine i ka lakou hua iho? I na keiki hoi e hiipoiia'na? E pepehiia anei ke kahuna, a me ke kaula, ma kahi hoano o ka Haku?
See, O Lord, and behold! to whom hast thou ever done the like? Shall women, then, eat their own fruit, the babes they have tenderly nursed? or shall there be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord the priest and the prophet?
21 Ua moe no ka opiopio, a me ka elemakule ma ka lepo ma na alanui; Ua hina ko'u mau wahine puupaa, a me ko'u poe kanaka ui i ka pahikaua; Ua luku mai oe ia lakou i ka la o kou inaina, Ua pepehi mai no oe, aole i aloha.
There lie down on the ground in the streets the lad and the ancient: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain on the day of thy anger; thou hast slaughtered, thou hast not pitied.
22 Ua kahea aku oe i ko'u mau mea weliweli a puni, e like me ka la ahaaina, Aohe hoi mea pakele, a koe mai, i ka la o ko Iehova huhu; Ka poe a'u i hii ai, a malama, Ua hoopau ka enemi ia lakou.
Thou hast called, as it were on a festive day, my evil neighbors from round about; and there was not on the day of the Lord's anger one that escaped or remained: those that I had tenderly nursed and reared up my enemy brought to their end.
