Psalms 10
1 Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
NO ke aha la oe e ku ai i kahi loihi aku, e Iehova? A e huna ai ia oe iho i ka manawa popilikia?
2 In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
O ka mea hewa, i kona hookano, Ua hoomaau mai oia i ka mea ilihune: E puni lakou i ka manao a lakou i noonoo ai.
3 For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
No ka mea, ua hookelakela ka mea hewa i ka makemake o kona naau, A i ke ko ana, ua hoomaikai, a ua hoowahawaha aku ia Iehova.
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
O ka mea hewa, aole ia e pule, no ka haaheo o kona maka; Aole ke Akua i kona manao a pau.
5 He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
Ua hewa mau kona mau aoao; O kau mau oihana, maluna lilo no ia aole ikea ia ia; A o kona mau enemi, ua puhi aku oia ia lakou.
6 He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
Ua olelo oia iloko o kona naau, Aole loa au e hoonaueia; Aole au e popilikia ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku.
7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
Ua piha kona waha i ke amuamu, ka wahahee, a me ka hoopunipuni; Malalo ae o kona alelo ke kolohe a me ka mea lapuwale.
8 He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
Ua noho ia ma kahi hoomakaakiu o na kauhale; A i kahi nalowale i pepehi wale ai ia i ka mea hala ole; Ua haka malu aku kona mau maka i ka mea ilihune.
9 He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
Kali malu iho la ia me he liona la iloko o kona lua: Moemoe malu ia e hopu i ka mea ilihune: Ua hoohei no oia ia ia i kona alakai ana ia ia iloko o kana upena.
10 They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
Ua kolo iho la ia, ua hoohaahaa ia ia iho, I haule iho ka poe ilihune i kona mea ikaika.
11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
Ua olelo iho la ia iloko o kona naau, Ua hoopoina ke Akua; Ua huna oia i kona maka, aole loa ia e ike mai.
12 Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
E ku mai oe, e Iehova; E hapai oe i kou lima, e ke Akua; Mai hoopoina mai i ka poe haahaa.
13 Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
No ke aha la ka mea ino i hoowahawaha ai i ke Akua? Ua olelo no oia iloko o kona naau, Aole oe e hoopai mai.
14 But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
Ua ike mai no oe, ua nana mai i ke kolohe a me ka huhu, I hoopai mai ia mea me kou lima; O ka mea ilihune ua waiho aku oia ia ia iho ia oe; O oe no ka mea nana ka mea makua ole i kokua mai.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
E uhai oe i ka lima o ke kanaka hewa ke kolohe; E hoopai i kona hewa a pau ia i ka nalo ia oe.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
O Iehova, oia ke Alii mau loa: Ua make aku ko na aina e mailoko aku o kona aina.
17 You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
E Iehova, ua lohe oe i ka makemake o ka poe haahaa: E hoomakaukau ana oe i ko lakou naau, E hoolohe mai ana no kou pepeiao;
18 to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
E hoopono mai i ka mea makua ole a me ka mea i hooluhihewaia, I hooluhihewa hou ole mai ke kauaka o ka honua.
