Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Remember, LORD, what has come on us. Look, and see our reproach.
1E HOOMANAO, e Iehova, i ka mea i hiki mai ai maluna o makou; E noonoo, a e nana mai i ko makou hoowahawahaia.
2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to aliens.
2Ua huli ko makou aina hooili i na malihini, O ko makou mau hale hoi i na kanaka e.
3We are orphans and fatherless. Our mothers are as widows.
3He poe keiki makua ole makou, aohe makuakane, Ua-like ko makou poe makuwahine me na wahine kanemake.
4We must pay for water to drink. Our wood is sold to us.
4Ua inu makou i ko makou wai no ke kala. Me ke kumukuai i hiki mai ai ko makou wahie.
5Our pursuers are on our necks. We are weary, and have no rest.
5Ua hoomaauia mai makou ma ko makou mau a-i, Ua hooluhiia makou, aole hoomaha.
6We have given our hands to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
6Ua haawi makou i ka lima i ko Aigupita, a me ko Asuria, I mea e hoomaonaia mai ai i ka berena.
7Our fathers sinned, and are no more. We have borne their iniquities.
7Ua haua hewa ko makou poe makuakane, a ua ole lakou; Ua kaikai makou i ko lakou hewa.
8Servants rule over us. There is no one to deliver us out of their hand.
8Ua noho alii mai na kauwa maluna o makou; Aohe mea hoopakele, mailoko aku o ko lakou lima.
9We get our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the wilderness.
9O ko makou ola ke kumukuai, i loaa mai ai ko makou berena, No ka maka o ka pahikaua o ka waonahele.
10Our skin is black like an oven, because of the burning heat of famine.
10Ua wela ko makou ili me he umu la, Ma ke alo o ka wela o ka wi.
11They ravished the women in Zion, the virgins in the cities of Judah.
11Moe wale lakou i na wahine ma Ziona, I na kaikamahine hoi o na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda.
12Princes were hanged up by their hands. The faces of elders were not honored.
12Ua kaulia na'lii iluna ma na lima; Aole i manaoia na maka o na lunakahiko.
13The young men carry millstones. The children stumbled under loads of wood.
13Lawe lakou i na kanaka ui, i poe wili palaoa, Hikaka ae la na kanaka opiopio, malalo iho o ka laau.
14The elders have ceased from the gate, and the young men from their music.
14Ua pau ka noho aua o na lunakahiko mai ka pukapa, A ua oki no hoi ke mele ana o na kanaka ui.
15The joy of our heart has ceased. Our dance is turned into mourning.
15Ua pau ka olioli ana o ko makou naau, Ua hooliloia ko makou hula i kumakena.
16The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
16Ua haule ka papale alii o ko makou mau poo; Auwe hoi makou i ka makou hana hewa ana.
17For this our heart is faint. For these things our eyes are dim:
17No keia mea, ua maule ko makou naau; No keia mau mea hoi, ua pouli ko makou mau maka.
18for the mountain of Zion, which is desolate. The foxes walk on it.
18He mehameha maluna o ka mauna o Ziona, Hele no na alopeke maluna olaila.
19You, LORD, remain forever. Your throne is from generation to generation.
19Ke noho mau loa nei oe, e Iehova, A o kou nohoalii hoi, mai kela hanauna, a keia hanauna.
20Why do you forget us forever, and forsake us for so long a time?
20No ke aha la oe e hoopoina mau loa ai ia makou, A haalele ia makou no na la ho nui?
21Turn us to yourself, LORD, and we will be turned. Renew our days as of old.
21E hoohuli mai oe ia makou iou la, e Iehova, a e hoohuliia makou, E hana hou i ko makou mau la, e like me ka wa kahiko.
22But you have utterly rejected us. You are very angry against us.
22No ka mea, e kipaku loa anei oe ia makou! E huhu nui loa mai anei oe ia makou!
