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!
How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she 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 weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her 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.
Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook 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 do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in 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 are the chief, her enemies prosper; for Yhwh hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
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 from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the 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 remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.
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.
Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth 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 filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O Yhwh, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified 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.
The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
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 sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O Yhwh, and consider; for I am become vile.
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 ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith Yhwh hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce 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 hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
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.
The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
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 hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
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 things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
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 spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: Yhwh hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman 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 rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are 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, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
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.
Behold, O Yhwh; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there 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 sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto 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.
Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
