Psalms 55
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
E HALIU mai i ka pepeiao i ka'u pule, e ke Akua, Mai hoonalo ia oe iho mai ka'u nonoi ana aku.
2 Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
E nana mai ia'u a e hoolohe mai ia'u; Ke u nei au i ko'u manao ana, me ka auwe;
3 at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
No ka leo o ka enemi, No ka hooluhi hewa ana mai o ka mea hewa: No ka mea, ua hooili mai lakou i ka hewa maluna o'u, A i ka ukiuki ua inaina mai lakou ia'u.
4 My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
Ua ehaeha loa ko'u naau iloko o'u; A ua haule mai ko ka make mau mea weliweli maluna o'u.
5 Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
Ua kau mai maluna o'u ka makau a me ka haalulu; Ua popoiia mai au e ka weliweli.
6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
A olelo iho la au, Owai ka mea e haawi ia'u i mau eheu me he manu nunu la? E lele aku au i kahi e, a e hoomaha iho.
7 How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain.
Aia hoi e hele kaawale loa aku au, A e noho ma ka waonahele. (Sila)
8 I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
Alaila e hoolalelale au i kuu pakele ana, I ka makani nui o ka ino.
9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
E hookae, e Iehova, a hoomokuahana i ka lakou mau alelo: No ka mea, ua ike au i ka hooluhi wale a me ka hakaka ana malok'o o ke kulanakauhale.
10 Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
I ke ao, a me ka po, i holoholo ai lakou maluna o kona mau pa; He kolohe, a he pioloke ka iwaena konu ona.
11 Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
Iwaena konu ona ka hana hewa ana; Aole haalele ka hoopunipuni a me ka wahahee i kona mau alanui.
12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
No ka mea, aole he enemi, ka i hoino mai ia'u; Ina pela hiki no ia'u ke hoomanawanui: Aole ka mea inaina mai ia'u ka i hookiekie ku e mai ia'u; Ilaila i pee aku ai au mai ona aku la:
13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
Aka, o oe no ia, he kanaka e ku like ana me au, Ka'u punahele, a o ko'u hoalauna hoi.
14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
Ua kamailio oluolu pu kaua, A ua hele pu i ka hale o ke Akua me ka lehulehu.
15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes. (Sheol h7585)
E lalau mai ka make ia lakou, E iho koke lakou ilalo i ka malu o ka make; No ka mea, he hewa ko loko o ko lakou mau hale, a iwaena o lakou. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
Aka, owau nei la, e kahea aku au i ke Akua; A e hoola mai no o Iehova ia'u.
17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
I ke ahiahi, i ke kakahiaka, i ke awakea, e pule aku ai au, A e kahea nui aku au; a e hoolohe mai oia i ko'u leo.
18 He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
Me ka maluhia e hoopakele oia i ko'u uhane i ke kaua mai ia'u; No ka mea, ua nui ka poe me au.
19 God will hear and humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— (Selah) because they do not change and they have no fear of God.
E hoolohe mai no ke Akua, a e hoohaahaa ia lakou, O ka mea mai kahiko mai. (Sila) No ka mea, aohe o lakou luli ana; Nolaila, aole o lakou makau i ke Akua.
20 My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
Ua kikoo oia i kona lima i ka mea e kuikahi ana me ia; Ua uhai oia i kana berita.
21 His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
Ua oi aku ka pahee o kana mau olelo mamua o ko ka bata, Aka, he kaua ko loko o kona naau: Ua oi aku ka oluolu o kana mau olelo i ko ka aila; Aka, he mau pahikaua unuhiia lakou.
22 Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
E waiho aku i kau mea kaumaha maluna o Iehova, A e Kokua mai oia ia oe: Aole loa ia e waiho mai i ka mea pono e hoonauweia.
23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
Aka, e ke Akua, e hoohaahaa iho oe ia lakou i ka lua o ka make: O na kanaka koko a me ka hoopunipuni, aole lakou e ola a pau ka hapalua o ko lakou mau la; Aka, e hilinai aku au ia oe.
