World English Bible
1E LAWE hoi oe i ke kanikau no na'lii o ka Iseraela,
1“Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2A e olelo aku, Heaha kou makuwahine? He liona wahine. Ua moe ia ilalo me na liona, ua hanai oia i kana mau keiki liona iwaena o na liona opiopio.
2and say, ‘What was your mother? A lioness. She couched among lions, in the middle of the young lions she nourished her cubs.
3Ua alakai oia i kekahi o kana mau keiki liona: lilo ia i liona opiopio, ao iho la ia e hopu i ka ai kaili, ai iho la ia i kanaka.
3She brought up one of her cubs. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.
4Lohe hoi na lahuikanaka nona, a ua hopuia oia iloko o ko lakou lua; lawe ae la lakou ia ia me na kaulahao i ka aina o Aigupita.
4The nations also heard of him. He was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
5A ike iho la ia makuwahine ua kali ia, a lilo kona mea i manaolana ai, alaila lawe oia i kekahi o kana mau keiki liona, a hoolilo ia ia i liona opiopio.
5“‘Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young lion.
6Holoholo ae la ia io ia nei iwaena o na liona, lilo oia i liona opiopio; ao iho la ia e hopu i ka ai kaili, a ai iho la i kanaka.
6He went up and down among the lions. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.
7Ike iho la ia i ko lakou mau hale alii neoneo, hooneoneo ae la ia i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale; a neoneo ka aina a me kona mea i piha ai, no ka halulu o kona uwo ana.
7He knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities. The land was desolate with its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring.
8Alaila hooku e na lahuikanaka ia ia a puni mailoko mai o na aina, a hohola i ko lakou upena maluna ona, a ua hopuia oia iloko o ka lakou lua.
8Then the nations attacked him on every side from the provinces. They spread their net over him. He was taken in their pit.
9Hoopaahao ae la lakou ia ia me na kaulahao, a lawe hoi ia ia i ke alii o Babulona: alakai ae la ia ia iloko o na wahi e paa ai, i ole e lohe hou ia kona leo maluna o na mauna o ka Iseraela.
9They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into strongholds, so that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.
10O kou makuwahine, ua like ia me ke kumu waina iloko o kou koko, i kanuia ma na wai; paapu ia i ka hua a me na lala he nui, no ka nui o na wai.
10“‘Your mother was like a vine in your blood, planted by the waters. It was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
11He mau kookoo paa kona i mau hoailonamoi no ka poe e alii ana, a ua hookiekieia kona kino mawaena o na lala paapu: ua ikeia hoi ia i kona kiekie ana ma ka lehulehu o kona poe lala.
11It had strong branches for the scepters of those who ruled. Their stature was exalted among the thick boughs. They were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.
12Aka, uhukiia'e la ia me ka ukiuki; kiolaia iho la ia ilalo i ka lepo: hoomaloo ae la ka makani hikina i kona mau hua; uhaiia iho la kona mau kookoo paa; a hoopau iho la ke ahi ia lakou.
12But it was plucked up in fury. It was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were broken off and withered. The fire consumed them.
13Ua kanuia'e nei ia ma ka waonahele, ma ka aina maloo a me ka makewai.
13Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
14Ua puka ae la ke ahi mailoko ae o kekahi kookoo o kona mau lala; ua hoopau ae la ia i kona hua, i ole hoi ona kookoo paa i hoailonamoi e alii ai. He kanikau keia, a he mea ia e kanikau ai.
14Fire has gone out of its branches. It has devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong branch to be a scepter to rule.’ This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.”
