Psalms 78
1 A Maskil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my instruction; listen to the words of my mouth.
E NA kanaka o'u, e hoolohe mai oukou i ko'u kanawai; E haliu mai hoi i ko oukou pepeiao i na olelo a ko'u waha.
2 I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the beginning,
E hooaka ae au i kuu waha ma na himeni, A e hai aku hoi i na mele kahiko;
3 that we have heard and known and our fathers have relayed to us.
I na mea a kakou i lohe ai, a i ike ai hoi, A ua hai mai no ko kakou poe makua ia kakou.
4 We will not hide them from their children, but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His might, and the wonders He has performed.
Aole kakou e huna, mai ka lakou poe keiki, A hiki aku i ka hanauna hope loa, I ka hoike ana aku i na halelu no Iehova, A me kona ikaika, a me na mea kupanaha ana i hana'i.
5 For He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers to teach to their children,
Hoopaa oia i mea hoike no ka Iakoba, A kau no hoi oia i kanawai no ka Iseraela, A kauoha mai la i na kupuna o kakou, E ao ae lakou ia mea i ka lakou poe keiki:
6 that the coming generation would know them— even children yet to be born— to arise and tell their own children
I ike ka hanauna hope loa aku, E ku mai hoi na keiki i hanau mai a hoike i ka lakou mau keiki;
7 that they should put their confidence in God, not forgetting His works, but keeping His commandments.
I kau aku ko lakou manaolana i ke Akua, Aole hoi e poina na hana a ke Akua, Aka, e malama i kana mau kauoha:
8 Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to God.
I like ole lakou me ko lakou poe kupuna, He hanauna ku e, a kipi hoi; He hanauna hooponopono ole i ko lakou naau, A hilinai ole hoi ko lakou naau i ke Akua.
9 The archers of Ephraim turned back on the day of battle.
O na mamo a Eperaima i kahikoia i ke kakaka, Huli hope no lakou i ka la i kaua'i.
10 They failed to keep God’s covenant and refused to live by His law.
Aole lakou i malama i ka berita o ke Akua, A hoole lakou i ka hele ma kona kanawai:
11 They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.
Poina ia lakou kana mau hana. Na mea kupanaha hoi ana i hoike mai ai.
12 He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
Hana iho la no oia i na mea kupanaha imua o ko lakou poe makua, Ma ka aina o Aigupita, ma ke kula hoi o Zoana.
13 He split the sea and brought them through; He set the waters upright like a wall.
Mahele ae la oia i ke kai, a alakai mai la ia lakou; Hooku ae la oia i na wai me he puu la.
14 He led them with a cloud by day and with a light of fire all night.
Ma ke ao oia i alakai mai ai ia lakou i ke ao, Ma ka malamalama o ke ahi hoi i na po a pau.
15 He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the seas.
Wahi ae la oia i na pohaku ma ka waonahele, Hoohainu mai oia, e like me na ale nui.
16 He brought streams from the stone and made water flow down like rivers.
Hoopuka ae la oia i na wai kahe mailoko mai o ka pohaku, A kahe mai la na wai e like me na muliwai.
17 But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.
Hana hewa hou aku la lakou ia ia, I ke ku e ana i ka Mea kiekie ma ka waoakua.
18 They willfully tested God by demanding the food they craved.
Hoao aku la lakou i ke Akua ma ko lakou naau, I ka nonoi ana i ai, no ko lakou kuko iho.
19 They spoke against God, saying, “Can God really prepare a table in the wilderness?
Hoowahawaha aku la lakou i ke Akua, i iho la, E hiki anei i ke Akua ke halii i papaaina ma ka waonahele?
20 When He struck the rock, water gushed out and torrents raged. But can He also give bread or supply His people with meat?”
Aia hoi! hahau ae la oia i ka pohaku, a kahe iho la na wai, A huliamahi mai la na wai kahe; E hiki anei ia ia ke haawi mai i ka ai? A e hoomakaukau hoi i ia no kona poe kanaka?
21 Therefore the LORD heard and was filled with wrath; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and His anger flared against Israel,
Nolaila, lohe mai la o Iehova a huhu iho la; A hoaia ke ahi maloko o ka Iakoba, A pii ae la ka huhu maluna o ka Iseraela:
22 because they did not believe God or rely on His salvation.
No ka mea, aole lakou i manaoio i ke Akua; Aole hoi i paulele i kona kokua ana.
23 Yet He commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of the heavens.
Ua kauoha nae oia i na ao, mailuna mai, A ua wahi no hoi i puka ma ka lani,
24 He rained down manna for them to eat; He gave them grain from heaven.
A ua hooua mai oia maluna o lakou, i mane e ai ai, A ua haawi mai i ka hua palaoa o ka lani na lakou.
25 Man ate the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.
Ai iho la na kanaka i ka ai a ka poe kiekie: Hoouka mai la oia i io na lakou a nui.
26 He stirred the east wind from the heavens and drove the south wind by His might.
Hoopa mai la oia i ko ka hikina makani ma ka lani: A i kona ikaika, kai mai la oia i ka makani o ke kukuluhema.
27 He rained meat on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea.
A hooua mai oia i ka io maluna o lakou me he lepo la, A me na manu hulu, e like me ke one o ke kai.
28 He felled them in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.
Hoohaule iho la oia ia mea ma ke kahua hoomoana, A puni hoi ko lakou wahi i noho ai.
29 So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.
A ai iho la lakou, a maona loa ae la: Hoopuka mai no oia na lakou i ka mea a lakou i kuko ai.
30 Yet before they had filled their desire, with the food still in their mouths,
Aole nae lakou i huli, mai ko lakou kuko ana; I ka wa e waiho ana ka ai i ko lakou waha,
31 God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.
Kau mai la ka huhu o ke Akua maluna o lakou, A luku iho la oia i ko lakou poe ikaika; A hookulou no hoi i ka poe i waeia o ka Iseraela.
32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.
Aka, ma ia mau mea a pau, hana hewa hou iho la no lakou, Aole i manaoio i kana mau hana kupanaha.
33 So He ended their days in futility, and their years in sudden terror.
Nolaila, haawi oia i ka noho makehewa ana i ko lakou mau la, A me ka wiwo wale, i ko lakou mau makahiki.
34 When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God.
Ina luku oia ia lakou, alaila, nonoi aku lakou ia ia, Huli ae la no hoi, a imi i ke Akua.
35 And they remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.
Hoomanao iho la lakou, o ke Akua ko lakou Pohaku, A o ke Akua kiekie hoi ko lakou Hoolapanai.
36 But they deceived Him with their mouths, and lied to Him with their tongues.
Aka, hoomalimali aku lakou ia ia ma ko lakou waha A wahahee aku no hoi ia ia ma ko lakou alelo.
37 Their hearts were disloyal to Him, and they were unfaithful to His covenant.
Aole i kupaa ko lakou naau ma ke Akua, Aole hoi i hilinai i kona berita.
38 And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full wrath.
Lokomaikai mai no nae oia, a kala mai i ka hala, Aole i anai mai ia lakou: Hoohuli pinepine aku oia i kona huhu, Aole i hoala i kona inaina a pau.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
No ka mea, hoomanao oia, he palupalu lakou, He ea hele wale aku, aole hoi mai.
40 How often they disobeyed Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert!
Me he aha la la ko lakou kipikipi ana ia ia ma ka waonahele? A hoonaukiuki ia ia ma ka waoakua?
41 Again and again they tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
A huli ihope lakou a hoao i ke Akua, Hoehaeha no hoi i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
42 They did not remember His power — the day He redeemed them from the adversary,
Aole lakou i hoomanao i kona lima, I ka la ana i hoopakele ai ia lakou i ka pilikia,
43 when He performed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the fields of Zoan.
I ka manawa ana i kau ai i kona mau hoailona ma Aigupita, A me kana hana kupanaha ma ke kula o Zoana:
44 He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink.
Hoolilo oia i ko lakou muliwai i koko, A me na kahawai hoi, a hiki ole ia lakou ke inu.
45 He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.
Hoouka ae la oia i ka makika maluna o lakou, A nahu iho la oia ia lakou; A me na rana hoi, a hooki loa oia mau mea ia lakou.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper, the fruit of their labor to the locust.
Haawi ae la oia i ka lakou ai na ke poko, A me ka mea a lakou i hooikaika'i na ka uhini.
47 He killed their vines with hailstones and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
Pepehi mai la oia i ka lakou kumuwaina i ka huahekili, A me ka lakou sukamora i ka hau.
48 He abandoned their cattle to the hail and their livestock to bolts of lightning.
Hoolilo ae la oia i na bipi a lakou i ka huahekili, A me na holoholona a lakou i ka uila.
49 He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation, and calamity— a band of destroying angels.
Hoouka ae la oia maluna o lakou, i ka wela o kona huhu, A me ka ukiuki, a me ka inaina, a me ka popilikia, A hoouna mai no hoi i na elele ino.
50 He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.
Hoomakaukau iho la oia i ke ala no kona huhu, Aole ia i kaohi i ko lakou uhane mai ka make mai; Aka, haawi no oia i ko lakou ola i ka mai ahulan;
51 He struck all the firstborn of Egypt, the virility in the tents of Ham.
A pepehi no hoi i na hiapo a pau o Aigupita, O na poo ikaika ma na halelewa o Hama.
52 He led out His people like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.
Kai mai la oia i kona poe kanaka me he poe hipa la, A alakai no hoi ia lakou ma ka waonahele me he ohana la.
53 He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.
Alakai oia ia lakou i ka malu, i ole ai lakou e makau: Aka, poi mai ke kai maluna o ko lakou poe enemi.
54 He brought them to His holy land, to the mountain His right hand had acquired.
Hoohele oia ia lakou i kona aina hoano, I keia mauna hoi a kona lima akau i hookumu ai.
55 He drove out nations before them and apportioned their inheritance; He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
Kipaku aku la oia i ko na aina e, mai ko lakou alo aku, Mahele ae la oia ma ke kaula-ana i ka ilina no lakou, A hoonoho iho la i na ohana o ka Iseraela iloko o ko lakou mau halelewa.
56 But they tested and disobeyed God Most High, for they did not keep His decrees.
Aka, hoao lakou i ke Akua kiekie, a kipi aku la, Aole hoi i malama i kana mau kauoha:
57 They turned back and were faithless like their fathers, twisted like a faulty bow.
Huli hope lakou, a hoopunipuni e like me na makua o lakou; Ua huli lakou ihope, e like me ke kakaka lauwili.
58 They enraged Him with their high places and provoked His jealousy with their idols.
Hoonaukiuki lakou ia ia i ko lakou wahi kiekie, A hoolili no hoi ia ia i ko lakou poe kii kalaiia.
59 On hearing it, God was furious and rejected Israel completely.
A lohe ke Akua alaila, huhu mai la ia, A hoopailua loa no hoi i ka Iseraela.
60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent He had pitched among men.
Nolaila, haalele iho la oia i ka halelewa o Silo, I ka halelole hoi kahi ana i noho ai iwaena o na kanaka,
61 He delivered His strength to captivity, and His splendor to the hand of the adversary.
A haawi no hoi i kona mea hanohano i ke pio ana, A me kona mea nani iloko o ka lima o ka enemi.
62 He surrendered His people to the sword because He was enraged by His heritage.
Hoolilo no oia i kona poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A huhu mai la i kona hooilina.
63 Fire consumed His young men, and their maidens were left without wedding songs.
Hoopau no ke ahi i kona poe kanaka ui; Aole nae i kanikau na wahine puupaa.
64 His priests fell by the sword, but their widows could not lament.
Haule no hoi kona poe kahuna i ka pahikaua; Aole nae i kanikau kona poe wahiue kanemake.
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a mighty warrior overcome by wine.
Alaila ala ae la ka Haku me he mea la mai kona hiamoe ana, Me he kanaka ikaika la hoi i ona i ka waina.
66 He beat back His foes; He put them to everlasting shame.
Alaila, pehi ae la oia i kona poe enemi ma ko lakou hope; Haawi no ia i hilahila mau loa lakou.
67 He rejected the tent of Joseph and refused the tribe of Ephraim.
Hoowahawaha oia i ka halelewa o Iosepa, Aole hoi i wae i ka ohana o Eperaima:
68 But He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.
Aka, wae no ia i ka ohana o Iuda, I ka mauna hoi o Ziona ana i aloha'i.
69 He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth He has established forever.
Hana oia i kona wahi hoano e like me na wahi kiekie, E like hoi me ka honua ana i hookumu mau loa'i.
70 He chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds;
Wae mai la oia ia Davida i kana kauwa, A lawe ae la ia ia, mai na pahipa ae:
71 from tending the ewes He brought him to be shepherd of His people Jacob, of Israel His inheritance.
Mai ka hahai ana i na hipa mea keiki, ua lawe oia ia ia, E hanai i ka Iakoba, i na kanaka ona, I ka Iseraela hoi, i kona hooilina.
72 So David shepherded them with integrity of heart and guided them with skillful hands.
Hanai mai la oia ia lakou e like me ka pono o kona naau; A alakai ae la ia lakou ma ke akamai o kona mau lima.
