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!
How hath the Lord in his anger covered with a cloud the daughter of Zion! He hath cast down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel, And hath not remembered his footstool in 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.
Lord hath swallowed up without pity all the habitations of Jacob; He hath thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He hath brought down to the ground, he hath profaned 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 cut off, in his fierce anger, every horn of Israel; He hath drawn back his right hand from the face of the enemy, And hath burned 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 stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that was pleasant to the eye; Upon the tent of the daughter of Zion he poured out his fury like fire.
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 is become as an enemy; he hath swallowed up Israel; He hath swallowed up all his palaces; he hath destroyed his strongholds; And hath multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
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.
He hath violently torn away his hedge, like the hedge of a garden; he hath destroyed his place of congregation; Jehovah hath caused the solemn feast and the sabbath to be forgotten in Zion; He hath despised, in his fierce anger, the king and the 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 abhorred his holy place; He hath given up into the hands of the enemy the walls of Zion's palaces; They have lifted up the voice in the house of Jehovah, as in the 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.
Jehovah hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He hath stretched out the line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying; He hath made the rampart and the wall to lament; They languish together.
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.
Her gates are sunk into the earth; he hath destroyed and broken her bars; Her king and her princes are among the nations; The law is no more; Her prophets also find no vision from Jehovah.
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 in silence; They have cast dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth; The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads 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.
Mine eyes do fail with tears; my bowels boil; My liver is poured out upon the ground on account of the destruction of the daughter of my people; For the children and sucklings faint in the streets of the city.
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.
They say to their mothers, “Where is corn and wine?” While they faint, as one wounded, in the streets of the city; While their life is poured out into their mother's bosom.
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?
How shall I address thee? what shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? With what shall I compare thee, so as to comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? Surely thy breach is wide, like the sea; who can heal 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 declare to thee that which is vain and false; They lay not open to thee thine iniquity, to bring back thy captivity; They pronounce to 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 that pass by clap their hands at thee; They hiss, and shake their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem. “Is this the city that men called the perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole 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 thine enemies open their mouths against thee; They hiss and gnash the teeth; They say: “We have swallowed her up; Yea, this is the day that we looked 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.
Jehovah hath accomplished that which he had devised; He hath fulfilled his word, which he had commanded in the days of old; He hath thrown down and hath not pitied; He hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee; he hath exalted the horn of thine 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 out to the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let thy tears run down like a river day and night! Give thyself no rest! let not the apple of thine eye cease!
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, cry aloud in the night at the beginning of the watches! Pour out thy heart like water before the face of Jehovah! Lift up thy hands to him for the life of thy young children, That faint for hunger at the head 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?
“Behold, O Jehovah, and consider! With whom hast thou dealt thus? Shall women eat the fruit of the womb, children borne in the arms? Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the holy place of the Lord?
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.
“The boy and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; My virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; Thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; Thou hast killed, and hast shown no mercy.
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 on a festal day, my terrors around me; There was not one, in the day of Jehovah's anger, that escaped or was left; Those whom I have borne in my arms and brought up hath my enemy consumed.”
