Psalms 34
1 Of David. When he made a change in his behaviour before Abimelech, who sent him away, and he went. I will be blessing the Lord at all times; his praise will be ever in my mouth.
E HOOMAIKAI aku au ia Iehova i na manawa a pau; E mau ana i kuu waha ka hoolea nona.
2 My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.
E hauoli kuu uhane ia Iehova; E lohe mai ka poe hoohaahaa a e olioli no hoi.
3 O give praise to the Lord with me; let us be witnesses together of his great name.
E hoonui hoi oukou ia Iehova me au nei, A e hapai pu kakou i kona inoa.
4 I was searching for the Lord, and he gave ear to my voice, and made me free from all my fears.
Ua imi aku au ia Iehova a ua hoolohe mai ia ia'u; Ua hoopakele mai oia ia'u i ka'u mau mea e makau ai a pau.
5 Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light, and your faces will not be shamed.
Nana aku la lakou ia ia a malamalama iho la lakou; Aole hilahila ko lakou mau maka.
6 This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.
Kahea aku la keia kanaka ilihune, A hoolohe mai la o Iehova ia ia, A hoopakele oia i kona popilikia a pau.
7 The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him, to keep them safe.
Hoomoana mai ka anela o Iehova a puni ka poe weliweli ia ia, A ua hoopakele hoi ia lakou.
8 By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.
E hoao oukou a e ike hoi he maikai no Iehova; Pomaikai ke kanaka i paulele ia ia.
9 Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.
E weliweli aku ia Iehova, e ka poe haipule a pau; No ka mea, aole e nele ka poe weliweli ia ia.
10 The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing.
Ua nele a ua pololi na liona opiopio; Aka, o ka poe imi ia Iehova, aole e nele i ka mea maikai.
11 Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord.
E hele mai, e na kamalii, e hoolohe mai ia'u; A e ao aku au ia oukou i ka weliweli ia Iehova:
12 What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?
Owai ke kanaka i makemake i ke ola, I makemake hoi i na la he nui i ike ai oia i ka maikai?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from words of deceit.
E kaohi i kou alelo mai ka hewa, A me kou mau lehelehe i ole e olelo ino.
14 Be turned from evil, and do good; make a search for peace, desiring it with all your heart.
E haalele i ka hewa a e haua ma ka pono; E imi i ka maluhia, a malaila e hahai ai.
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry.
Kau pono na maka o Iehova i ka poe pono, A me kona mau pepeiao i ko lakou kahea ana.
16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to take away the memory of them from the earth.
Ku e ka maka o Iehova i ka poe hewa, E hoonalo loa ia lakou mai ka honua aku.
17 The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles.
Kahea na mea pono, a hoolohe mai no hoi o Iehova; A hoakea mai no oia ia lakou i ko lakou popilikia a pau.
18 The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down.
Kokoke mai no o Iehova i ka poe naau palupalu; A hoola no hoi oia i na mea uhane mihi.
19 Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.
He nui no ka pilikia ana o ka mea pono: A hoakea mai no hoi o Iehova ia ia, mai ia mea a pau.
20 He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Malama no hoi oia i kona mau iwi, Aohe mea o lakou i haki.
21 Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction.
E hoomake no ka hewa i ke kanaka aia; A e hoopaiia ka poe inaina i ka poe pono.
22 The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.
Hoola o Iehova i ka uhane o kana poe kauwa: Aohe mea paulele ia ia o lilo i ka hoopaiia.
