Psalms 35
1 Strive thou, O Jehovah, with those who strive with me. Fight thou against those who fight against me.
E HAKAKA, e Iehova, me na mea i hakaka me au: E paio oe me ka poe i paio mai ia'u,
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
E lalau i ka palekaua a me ka uhikino, A e ku mai oe iluna i kokua no'u
3 Draw out the spear also, and stop the way against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, I am thy salvation.
Unuhi ae hoi oe i ka ihe a e keakea i ka poe alualu hewa mai ia'u: E olelo mai i kuu uhane, Owau no kou ola.
4 Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor who seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and confounded who devise my hurt.
E hoka a e hoohilahilaia ka poe i kii mai i ko'u uhane; E hoohuliia'ku lakou i hope, a e hoohokaia hoi na mea i kukakuka i ka ino no'u.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and the agent of Jehovah driving them on.
E like lakou me ka opala imua o ka makani, A e alualu ka anela o Iehova.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and the agent of Jehovah pursuing them.
A pouli mai, a pahee hoi ko lakou alanui, A e alualu hoi ka anela a Iehova ia lakou.
7 For without cause they have hid their net for me in a pit. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
No ka mea, i ka hala ole, huua lakou i ka lakou upena no'u, Iloko o ka lua a lakou i eli ai no kuu uhane, i ka hala ole.
8 Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net that he has hid catch himself. Let him fall in it with destruction.
E kau mai ka make ike ole ia maluna ona; A e hoohei ia ia iho kana upena i huna ai; Iloko o ua make la e haule iho ai oia.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
E hauoli ko'u uhane ia Iehova; E olioli no hoi i kona hoola ana.
10 All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like thee, who delivers a poor man from him who is too strong for him, yea, a poor and needy man from him who robs him?
E olelo aku no hoi ka'u mau iwi a pau, E Iehova, owai la ka mea like me oe? Ka mea i hoopakele i ka mea haahaa i ka mea i oi ka ikaika i kona, Oia hoi, o ka mea ilihune me ka nele i ka mea hao wale ia ia?
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up, they ask me of things that I know not.
Ua ku iluna na hoike wahahee; Ua hookolokolo mai lakou ia'u ma na mea a'u i ike ole ai.
12 They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
Ua uku mai lakou ia'u me ka hewa no ka pono, I haalele loa ia ko'u uhane.
13 But as for me, when they were sick my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
Aka, owau nei la, i ko lakou mai ana, O ke kapa ino ka'u i aahu ai: A hookaumaha au i kuu uhane me ka hookeai, A ua hoi mai ka'u pule iloko o kuu poli iho.
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as he who bewails his mother.
Ua hele au me he mea la o ko'u hoaaloha, a o ko'u hoahanau paha ia: Ua kulou iho au me ke kaumaha, E like me ka mea kanikau no kona makuwahine.
15 But in my adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The wretches gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not. They tore me, and ceased not.
Aka, i kuu oopa ana, olioli lakou, a akoakoa hoi, Oia hoi ua akoakoa ku e ia ia'u ka poe aki, aole hoi au i ike, Ua haehae mai lakou ia'u aole i noho malie.
16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Iwaena o na aia hoakaaka ma na ahaaina, Nau mai lakou i ko lakou mau niho ia'u.
17 Lord, how long will thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
E ka Haku, pehea ka loihi o kou nana ana mai? E hoopakele i kuu uhane i ko lakou luku ana, A i ko'u makamae i na liona.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great assembly. I will praise thee among much people.
E hoomaikai aku au ia oe iloko o ke anaina nui; E hoolea aku au ia oe iwaena o na kanaka lehulehu.
19 Let not those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me. Neither let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.
Mai noho a hauoli hewa mai ko'u mau enemi maluna o'u: A imo me ka maka ka poe inaina wale mai ia'u.
20 For they speak not peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
No ka mea, aole lakou i olelo ma ke kuikahi; Ua kukakuka lakou i na mea hoopunipuni ku e i na mea noho malie ma ka aina.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.
Oiaio, ua hoohamama loa lakou i ko lakou waha ia'u; I iho la lakou, Aia la! aia la! ua ike ko makou maka ia.
22 Thou have seen it, O Jehovah. Keep not silence. O Lord, be not far from me.
Oia kau i ike mai ai, e Iehova, mai hakanu oe, E ka Haku, mai noho a mamao aku ia'u.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice to me, to my cause, my God and my Lord.
E paipai ia oe iho, e ala'e hoi e hoopono ia'u; Ma kuu mea e hakaka ai, e kuu Akua, e kuu Haku hoi.
24 Judge me, O Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me.
E hoopono mai ia'u, e Iehova kuu Akua, mamuli o kou pono; Mai noho a hauoli lakou maluna o'u.
25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Mai noho a olelo lakou iloko o ko lakou naau, Aia la! O ko makou makemake no ia: Mai noho a olelo lakou, Ua ale kakou ia ia.
26 Let them be put to shame and confounded together who rejoice at my hurt. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
E hoka a e hoohilahila pu ia no hoi ka poe hauoli i ko'u poino; E hoaahuia me ka hilahila a me ka hoinoia ka poe haanui ku e mai ia'u.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. Yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
E hooho i ka olioli a e hauoli hoi ka poe kokua i kuu pono; A e olelo mau lakou, E mahaloia'ku o Iehova, Ka mea i oluolu i ka pomaikai o kana kauwa nei.
28 And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
A e hai aku kuu alelo i kou hoopono ana, A i ka hoolea nou a po ka la.
