< 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 doth the Lord cloud in His anger the daughter of Zion, He hath cast from heaven [to] earth the beauty 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.
Swallowed up hath the Lord, He hath not pitied any of the pleasant places of Jacob, He hath broken down in His wrath The fortresses of the daughter of Judah, He hath caused to come to the earth, He polluted 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 the heat of anger every horn of Israel, He hath turned backward His right hand From the face of the enemy, And He burneth against Jacob as a flaming fire, It hath devoured 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 hath trodden His bow as an enemy, Stood hath His right hand as an adversary, And He slayeth all the desirable ones of the eye, In the tent of the daughter of Zion, He hath poured out as 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 hath been as an enemy, He hath swallowed up Israel, He hath swallowed up all her palaces, He hath destroyed His fortresses, And He multiplieth in the daughter of Judah Mourning and moaning.
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 shaketh as a garden His tabernacle, He hath destroyed His appointed place, Jehovah hath forgotten in Zion the appointed time and sabbath, And despiseth, in the indignation of His anger, 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 rejected His sanctuary, He hath shut up into the hand of the enemy The walls of her palaces, A noise they have made in the house of Jehovah Like a day of appointment.
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.
Devised hath Jehovah to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion, He hath stretched out a line, He hath not turned His hand from destroying, And He causeth bulwark and wall to mourn, Together — they have been weak.
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 earth have her gates, He hath destroyed and broken her bars, Her king and her princes [are] among the nations, There is no law, also her prophets Have not found 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.
Sit on the earth — keep silent do the elders of the daughter of Zion, They have caused dust to go up on their head, They have girded on sackcloth, Put down to the earth their head have the virgins of Jerusalem.
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.
Consumed by tears have been my eyes, Troubled have been my bowels, Poured out to the earth hath been my liver, For the breach of the daughter of my people; In infant and suckling being feeble, In the broad places 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.
To their mothers they say, 'Where [are] corn and wine?' In their becoming feeble as a pierced one In the broad places of the city, In their soul pouring itself out into the bosom of their mothers.
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 do I testify [to] thee, what do I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What do I equal to thee, and I comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For great as a sea [is] thy breach, Who doth give 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 have seen for thee a false and insipid thing, And have not revealed concerning thine iniquity, To turn back thy captivity, And they see for thee false burdens and causes of expulsion.
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?
Clapped hands at thee have all passing by the way, They have hissed — and they shake the head At the daughter of Jerusalem: 'Is this the city of which they said: The perfection of beauty, a joy to all the land?'
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.
Opened against thee their mouth have all thine enemies, They have hissed, yea, they gnash the teeth, They have said: 'We have swallowed [her] up, Surely this [is] the day that we looked for, We have found — we have seen.'
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 done that which He devised, He hath fulfilled His saying That He commanded from the days of old, He hath broken down and hath not pitied, And causeth an enemy to rejoice over thee, He lifted up 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.
Cried hath their heart unto the Lord; O wall of the daughter of Zion, Cause to go down as a stream tears daily and nightly, Give not rest to thyself, Let not the daughter of thine eye stand 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, cry aloud in the night, At the beginning of the watches. Pour out as water thy heart, Over against the face of the Lord, Lift up unto Him thy hands, for the soul of thine infants, Who are feeble with hunger at the head of all out-places.
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 Jehovah, and look attentively, To whom Thou hast acted thus, Do women eat their fruit, infants of a handbreadth? Slain in the sanctuary of the Lord are priest and 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.
Lain on the earth [in] out-places have young and old, My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword, Thou hast slain in a day of Thine 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 dost call as [at] a day of appointment, My fears from round about, And there hath not been in the day of the anger of Jehovah, An escaped and remaining one, They whom I stretched out and nourished, My enemy hath consumed!
