Lamentations 3
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.
1O WAU no ke kanaka i ike i ka popilikia, Malalo o ka laau o kona ukinki.
2He hath led me and caused me to walk in darkness and not in light.
2Ua alakai oia ia'u, a ua lawe mai ia'u iloko o ka pouli, Aole iloko o ka malamalama.
3Surely against me He turneth His hand again and again all the day.
3He oiaio, ua huli ku e mai oia ia'u, Ua huli oia i kona lima e ku e ia'u a pau ka la.
4My flesh and my skin hath He worn out; He hath broken my bones.
4Ua hoopau oia i ko'u io, a me ko'u ili; Ua uhai oia i ko'u mau iwi.
5He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
5Ua kukulu ku e mai oia ia'u, Ua hoopuni mai ia'u i ka awaawa, a me ke kaumaha.
6He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
6Ua hoonoho mai oia ia'u ma na wahi pouli, E like me ka poe i make i ka, wa kahiko.
7He hath hedged me about, that I cannot go forth; He hath made my chain heavy.
7Ua hoopuni mai oia ia'u i ka pa, i ole au e puka iwaho; Ua hana oia i ko'u kaula keleawe a kaumaha.
8Yea, when I cry and call for help, He shutteth out my prayer.
8I ka wa a'u e kahea aku ai, a nonoi aku, Pani mai la oia i ka'u pule ana.
9He hath enclosed my ways with hewn stone, He hath made my paths crooked.
9Ua hoopuni mai oia ia'u me na pohaku i kalaiia; Ua hookeekee oia i ko'u mau alanui.
10He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.
10Ua like oia ia'u me ka bea e hoohalua ana, Me he liona la hoi ma na wahi malu.
11He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; He hath made me desolate.
11Ua kapae oia i ko'u mau aoao, ua haehae mai ia'u; Ua hoolilo mai oia ia'u i mehameha.
12He hath bent His bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
12Ua hoolena oia i kona kakaka, Ua kau oia ia'u me he hoailona la no ka pua.
13He hath caused the arrows of His quiver to enter into my reins.
13Ua hookomo mai oia i kona mau pua iloko o ko'u opu.
14I am become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
14He mea akaaka no wau i ko'u poe kanaka a pau; O ko lakou mele akaaka, a pau ka la.
15He hath filled me with bitterness, He hath sated me with wormwood.
15Ua hoomaona mai oia ia'u i na mea awaawa, Ua hooona mai oia ia'u i ka laau awahia.
16He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, He hath made me to wallow in ashes.
16Ua uhai oia i ko'u mau niho i na iliili, Ua uhi mai oia ia'u i ka lehu.
17And my soul is removed far off from peace, I forgot prosperity.
17Ua kipaku mai oe i ko'u uhane mai ka maiu aku; Poina hoi ia'u ka pomaikai.
18And I said: 'My strength is perished, and mine expectation from the LORD.'
18I iho la au, Ua hookiia kuu ikaika, A me ka laua ana o kuu manao, mai Iehova mai;
19Remember mine affliction and mine anguish, the wormwood and the gall.
19E manao ana hoi au i ko'u popilikia a me ko'u eha, I ka laau awaawa, a me ka laau make.
20My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is bowed down within me.
20Ke manao nui nei ko'u uhane ia mea, Me ke kulou iho iloko o'u.
21This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
21Ke hoihoi mai nei au i keia iloko o ko'u naau, A nolaila, ua laua kuu manao.
22Surely the LORD'S mercies are not consumed, surely His compassions fail not.
22No ka lokomaikai o Iehova, aole kakou i anaiia; No ka pau ole hoi o kona aloha.
23They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness.
23He hou mai no i na kakahiaka a pau; Ua nui loa no kou oiaio.
24'The LORD is my portion', saith my soul; 'Therefore will I hope in Him.'
24O Iehova no ko'u kuleana, wahi a kuu uhane, Nolaila e lana'i kuu manao ia ia.
25The LORD is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him.
25Ua maikai o Iehova i ka poe kakali ia ia, I ka uhane hoi i imi aku ia ia.
26It is good that a man should quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
26He mea maikai ke lana ka manao, no ka hoolaia mai e Iehova, me ka ekemu ole hoi.
27It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
27He mea maikai i ke kanaka ke lawe i ka auamo i kona wa opiopio.
28Let him sit alone and keep silence, because He hath laid it upon him.
28Ke noho mehameha ia me ka ekemu ole, No ka mea, [na ke Akua no] i kau ia mea maluna ona.
29Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.
29Ke waiho hoi ia i kona waha ma ka lepo, Ina paha e loaa ia ia ka laua o ka manao.
30Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him, let him be filled full with reproach.
30Ke haawi no hoi oia i kona papalina i ka mea nana ia e hahau; Ke hoopihaia oia i ka hoowahawahaia.
31For the Lord will not cast off for ever.
31Aole nae e kipaku mau loa aku o ka Haku;
32For though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies.
32Ina e hookaumaha mai oia, e aloha mai no ia, E like me ka nui o kona lokomaikai.
33For He doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
33Aole no kona makemake ia e hookaumaha mai ai, A hoeha i na keiki a kanaka.
34To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
34E hahi malalo iho o kona mau wawae, I na mea pio a pau o ka honua,
35To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
35E hoohuli ae i ka pono o ke kanaka, Mai ka maka ae o ka Mea kiekie,
36To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
36E hana kekee i ke kanaka i kona hookolokoloia, Aole i apono mai ka Haku ia mau mea.
37Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
37Owai ka mea nana e olelo, a ko no, Ke kauoha ole mai ka Haku?
38Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good?
38Mai ka waha mai o ka Mea kiekie, Aole i puka mai ka hewa, a me ka maikai,
39Wherefore doth a living man complain, a strong man because of his sins?
39No ke aha la e ohumu ai ke kanaka e ola ana, O ke kanaka hoi no kona hoopaiia?
40Let us search and try our ways, and return to the LORD.
40E huli kakou i ke ano o ko kakou mau aoao, E hoao hoi, a e hoi hou aku ia Iehova.
41Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
41E hapai kakou i ko kakou mau naau a me na lima, I ke Akua iloko o ka lani.
42We have transgressed and have rebelled; Thou hast not pardoned.
42Ua hana hewa aku makou, a na kipi, Aole no hoi oe i kala mai.
43Thou hast covered with anger and pursued us; Thou hast slain unsparingly.
43Ua uhi mai oia ia makou i ka huhu, a ua hoomaau mai; Ua pepehi mai oe, aole i aloha mai.
44Thou hast covered Thyself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
44Ua uhi no oe ia oe iho i ke ao, I komo ole aku ai ka pule.
45Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
45Ua hoonoho oe ia makou i lepo i kahiliia. A i mea i hoowahawahaia iwaena o na kanaka.
46All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
46Ua hamama ku e mai ia makou na waha a pau o ko makou poe enemi.
47Terror and the pit are come upon us, desolation and destruction.
47Eia no imua o makou, ka makau a me ka lua, O ka lukuia, a me ke anaiia.
48Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water, for the breach of the daughter of my people.
48Ke kahe nei na muliwai ma ko'u mau maka, No ke anaiia o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka.
49Mine eye is poured out, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
49Ko kulu nei no ko'u maka, aole hooki, Aole hoi i hoomaha,
50Till the LORD look forth, and behold from heaven.
50A nana mai o Iehova, a ike, mai ka lani mai.
51Mine eye affected my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
51Ke hoeha ko'u maka i ko'u naau, no na kaikamahine a pau o ko'u kulanakauhale.
52They have chased me sore like a bird, that are mine enemies without cause.
52Me he manu la i hahai hala ole mai ai ko'u poe enemi ia'u me ka ikaika.
53They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast stones upon me.
53Ua hooki lakou i ko'u ola ma ka lua, Ua hoolei mai i ka pohaku maluna o'u.
54Waters flowed over my head; I said: 'I am cut off.'
54Kahe ae la na wai maluna o kuu poo, Alaila, olelo iho la au, Ua hookiia mai au.
55I called upon Thy name, O LORD, Out of the lowest dungeon.
55Kahea aku la au i kou inoa, o Iehova, Mailoko ae o ka lua hohonu.
56Thou heardest my voice; hide not Thine ear at my sighing, at my cry.
56Ua lohe no oe i ko'u leo; Mai huna oe i kou pepeiao, i ko'u hanu ana, a me ko'u kahea ana.
57Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon Thee; Thou saidst: 'Fear not.'
57Hookokoke mai no oe i ka la a'u i kahea aku ai la oe; I mai la hoi oe, Mai makau.
58O Lord, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; Thou hast redeemed my life.
58E ka Haku, ua kokua mai oe ia'u i ka hoopiiia o kuu uhane; Nau no i hoolapanai i ko'u ola.
59O LORD, Thou hast seen my wrong; judge Thou my cause.
59E Iehova, ua ike no oe i ko'u hookaumahaia, Nau no e hooponopono i ko'u hihia.
60Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.
60Ua ike no oe i ko lakou hoomaau ana a pau, A me ko lakou mau manao ku e ia'u a pau.
61Thou hast heard their taunt, O LORD, and all their devices against me;
61E Iehova, ua lohe no oe i ko lakou hoowahawaha ana, A me ko lakou mau manao ku e ia'u a pau:
62The lips of those that rose up against me, and their muttering against me all the day.
62I na olelo a ka poe i ala ku e mai ia'u, A me ko lakou imi ku e ia'u a pau ka la.
63Behold Thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song.
63E nana i ko lakou noho ana ilalo, a me ko lakou ku ana iluna, owau no ko lakou mele akaaka.
64Thou wilt render unto them a recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
64E hoihoi oe i ka hoopai ana maluna o lakou, e Iehova, E like hoi me ka hana ana a ko lakou mau lima.
65Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, Thy curse unto them.
65E haawi oe ia lakou i ke kaumaha o ka naau, I kou hoino hoi, ia lakou.
66Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
66Me ka huhu oe e hahai aku ai, A e luku aku ia lakou, mailalo aku o na lani o Iehova.
