Psalms 37
1 Of David. Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.
MAI ukiuki oe no ka poe hana hewa; Aole hoi e huahua i na mea lawehala.
2 For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender plants.
No ka mea, e oki koke ia lakou e like me ka mauu, A e mae hoi e like me ka laauikiai maka.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
E hilinai aku ia Iehova, a e hana i ka pono; A e noho no oe ma ka aina, a e hanai io ia'ku oe.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
E hauoli hoi oe ia Iehova, A e haawi mai no ia nou i ka makemake o kou naau:
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it.
Hookaa aku i kou aoao ia Iehova; E hilinai aku hoi ia ia. a nana no hoi e hana.
6 He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.
A e hoopuka mai hoi oia i kou pono e like me ka malamalama, A me kou hooponoponoia e like me ka la ku pono.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.
E noho malie ia Iehova, a e kali ahonui ia ia; Mai noho a ukiuki no ke kanaka e pookeokeo ana i kona aoao iho, No ke kanaka e hana ana ma na manao hewa.
8 Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; do not fret—it can only bring harm.
E waiho i ka huhu, e haalele hoi i ka inaina; Mai nauki iki e hana hewa ai.
9 For the evildoers will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
No ka mea, e okiia'ku ka poe hana hewa; Aka, o ka poe manaolana ia Iehova, e loaa ia lakou ka honua.
10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
A liuliu iki aku, aole ka mea lawehala; Oiaio, e hoomanao ikaika oe i kona wahi, aole hoi ia.
11 But the meek will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.
Aka, e loaa ka honua i ka poe hoohaahaa; He hauoli lakou i ka pomaikai nui wale.
12 The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,
Kukakuka ku e ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A nau iho la me kona mau niho ia ia.
13 but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.
E akaaka mai no nae ka Haku ia ia; No ka mea, ua ike oia i ke kokoke ana mai o kona la.
14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
Ua unuhi ae la ka poe hewa i ka pahikaua, Ua lena hoi i ka lakou kakaka, E hoolilo i ka poe ilihune a me ka poe haahaa, A e hoomake hoi i ka poe e hele pono ana.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
E komo no ko lakou pahikaua i ko lakou naau iho; A e uhakiia ka lakou kakaka.
16 Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many who are wicked.
Ua oi aku ka waiwai uuku o ke kanaka pono Mamna o ka waiwai nui o ka poe hewa he nui.
17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
No ka mea, e uhakiia na lima o ka poe hewa; Aka, e hookupaa iho o Iehova i ka poe pono.
18 The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will last forever.
Ua ike o Iehova i na la o ka poe ku pono; A e mau loa ana no hoi ko lakou hooilina.
19 In the time of evil they will not be ashamed, and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
Aole lakou e hoka i ka manawa ino; A i ke kau wi e maona no lakou.
20 But the wicked and enemies of the LORD will perish like the glory of the fields. They will vanish; like smoke they will fade away.
Aka, e make no ka poe hewa, A e like auanei oa enemi o Iehova me'ka momona o na keikihipa; E pau lakou i ke ahi, e lilo lakou i uahi.
21 The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving.
Ua noi e lawe iki ka mea hewa i ka hai. aole nae i hoihoi mai: Aka e lokomaikai aka ka mea pono, a haawi wale aku no.
22 Surely those He blesses will inherit the land, but the cursed will be destroyed.
Nolaila o ka poe hoomaikaiia e ia e loaa ia lakou ka honua; Aka, o ka poe i hoinoia e ia e okiia lakou.
23 The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD who takes delight in his journey.
Ua hooku pono ia e Iehova na kapuwai o ke kanaka pono; Oluolu mai no oia i kona hele ana.
24 Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, for the LORD is holding his hand.
Ina e hina ia aole ia e hoohiolo loa ia: No ka mea, ua hookupaa o Iehova ia ia me kona lima.
25 I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.
Opiopio aku la au, a ua elemakule ae nei, Aole hoi au i ike i ka mea pono i haaleleia, Aole hoi i kana hua e makilo berena ana.
26 They are ever generous and quick to lend, and their children are a blessing.
He aloha mau kona, a ua haawi aka no; Pomaikai no hoi kana hua.
27 Turn away from evil and do good, so that you will abide forever.
E haalele i ka hewa, a e hana i ka pono; A e noho mau loa aku.
28 For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.
No ka mea, ua makemake no Iehova i ka hoopono ana: Aole ia i haalele i kona poe haipule; E hoomalu mau loa ia hoi lakou; Aka, e okiia ka hua a ka poe hewa.
29 The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
E loaa ka aina i ka poe pono, A e noho mau lakou ilaila.
30 The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
Ua olelo ka waha o ka mea pono ma ka naauao; A ua kamailio kona alelo ma ka hoopono ana.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not falter.
Maloko o kona naau ke kanawai o kona Akua; Aole kapuwai ona e kapeke ai.
32 Though the wicked lie in wait for the righteous, and seek to slay them,
Kiai ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A imi hoi ia e hoomake ia ia.
33 the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned under judgment.
Aole e waiho mai o Iehova ia ia iloko o kona lima, Aole hoi e hoahewa ia ia i kona wa e hookolokoloia'i.
34 Wait for the LORD and keep His way, and He will raise you up to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
E hilinai aku ia Iehova, a e malama i kona aoao: A e hookiekie oia ia oe e komo i ka aina; Aia okiia ka poe hewa, e ike ako no oe ia.
35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,
Ua ike aku au i ke kanaka hewa e weliweli ai, E hoopalahalaha ana ia ia iho e like me ka laau uliuli i kona wahi iho.
36 yet he passed away and was no more; though I searched, he could not be found.
Aka, ua hala aku la ia aia hoi, aole iho la ia; Oiaio, imi aku la au ia ia, aole hoi ia i loaa.
37 Consider the blameless and observe the upright, for posterity awaits the man of peace.
E noonoo i ke kanaka hemolele, E nana hoi i ka mea kupono: No ka mea, o ka hope o ua kanaka la, he pomaikai no ia.
38 But the transgressors will all be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.
Aka, e luku pu ia ka poe lawehala; A o ka hope o ka poe hewa, e okiia no ia.
39 The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their stronghold in time of trouble.
Aka, no Iehova mai ke ola o ka poe pono: Oia ko lakou ikaika i ka wa popilikia.
40 The LORD helps and delivers them; He rescues and saves them from the wicked, because they take refuge in Him.
A e kokua mai o Iehova ia lakou, a e hoakea mai ia lakou, E hoopakele oia ia lakou i ka poe hewa, A e hoola ia lakou. no ko lakou hilinai ana ia ia.
