Psalms 35
1 Of David. O Lord, be on my side against those who are judging me; be at war with those who make war against me.
E HAKAKA, e Iehova, me na mea i hakaka me au: E paio oe me ka poe i paio mai ia'u,
2 Be a breastplate to me, and give me your help.
E lalau i ka palekaua a me ka uhikino, A e ku mai oe iluna i kokua no'u
3 Take up your spear and keep back my attackers; say to my soul, I am your salvation.
Unuhi ae hoi oe i ka ihe a e keakea i ka poe alualu hewa mai ia'u: E olelo mai i kuu uhane, Owau no kou ola.
4 Let them be overcome and put to shame who make attempts to take my soul; let those who would do me damage be turned back and made foolish.
E hoka a e hoohilahilaia ka poe i kii mai i ko'u uhane; E hoohuliia'ku lakou i hope, a e hoohokaia hoi na mea i kukakuka i ka ino no'u.
5 Let them be like dust from the grain before the wind; let the angel of the Lord send them in flight.
E like lakou me ka opala imua o ka makani, A e alualu ka anela o Iehova.
6 Let their way be dark and full of danger; let them be troubled by the angel of the Lord.
A pouli mai, a pahee hoi ko lakou alanui, A e alualu hoi ka anela a Iehova ia lakou.
7 For without cause they have put a net ready for me secretly, in which to take my soul.
No ka mea, i ka hala ole, huua lakou i ka lakou upena no'u, Iloko o ka lua a lakou i eli ai no kuu uhane, i ka hala ole.
8 Let destruction come on them without their knowledge; let them be taken themselves in their secret nets, falling into the same destruction.
E kau mai ka make ike ole ia maluna ona; A e hoohei ia ia iho kana upena i huna ai; Iloko o ua make la e haule iho ai oia.
9 And my soul will have joy in the Lord; it will be glad in his salvation.
E hauoli ko'u uhane ia Iehova; E olioli no hoi i kona hoola ana.
10 All my bones will say, Lord, who is like you? The saviour of the poor man from the hands of the strong, of him who is poor and in need from him who takes his goods.
E olelo aku no hoi ka'u mau iwi a pau, E Iehova, owai la ka mea like me oe? Ka mea i hoopakele i ka mea haahaa i ka mea i oi ka ikaika i kona, Oia hoi, o ka mea ilihune me ka nele i ka mea hao wale ia ia?
11 False witnesses got up: they put questions to me about crimes of which I had no knowledge.
Ua ku iluna na hoike wahahee; Ua hookolokolo mai lakou ia'u ma na mea a'u i ike ole ai.
12 They gave me back evil for good, troubling my soul.
Ua uku mai lakou ia'u me ka hewa no ka pono, I haalele loa ia ko'u uhane.
13 But as for me, when they were ill I put on the clothing of sorrow: I went without food and was sad, and my prayer came back again to my heart.
Aka, owau nei la, i ko lakou mai ana, O ke kapa ino ka'u i aahu ai: A hookaumaha au i kuu uhane me ka hookeai, A ua hoi mai ka'u pule iloko o kuu poli iho.
14 My behaviour was as if it had been my friend or my brother: I was bent low in grief like one whose mother is dead.
Ua hele au me he mea la o ko'u hoaaloha, a o ko'u hoahanau paha ia: Ua kulou iho au me ke kaumaha, E like me ka mea kanikau no kona makuwahine.
15 But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me.
Aka, i kuu oopa ana, olioli lakou, a akoakoa hoi, Oia hoi ua akoakoa ku e ia ia'u ka poe aki, aole hoi au i ike, Ua haehae mai lakou ia'u aole i noho malie.
16 Like men of deceit they put me to shame; the voice of their wrath was loud against me.
Iwaena o na aia hoakaaka ma na ahaaina, Nau mai lakou i ko lakou mau niho ia'u.
17 Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.
E ka Haku, pehea ka loihi o kou nana ana mai? E hoopakele i kuu uhane i ko lakou luku ana, A i ko'u makamae i na liona.
18 I will give you praise in the great meeting; I will give you honour among a strong people.
E hoomaikai aku au ia oe iloko o ke anaina nui; E hoolea aku au ia oe iwaena o na kanaka lehulehu.
19 Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.
Mai noho a hauoli hewa mai ko'u mau enemi maluna o'u: A imo me ka maka ka poe inaina wale mai ia'u.
20 For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.
No ka mea, aole lakou i olelo ma ke kuikahi; Ua kukakuka lakou i na mea hoopunipuni ku e i na mea noho malie ma ka aina.
21 Their mouths were open wide against me, and they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.
Oiaio, ua hoohamama loa lakou i ko lakou waha ia'u; I iho la lakou, Aia la! aia la! ua ike ko makou maka ia.
22 You have seen this, O Lord; be not unmoved: O Lord, be not far from me.
Oia kau i ike mai ai, e Iehova, mai hakanu oe, E ka Haku, mai noho a mamao aku ia'u.
23 Be awake, O Lord, be moved to take up my cause, my God and my Lord.
E paipai ia oe iho, e ala'e hoi e hoopono ia'u; Ma kuu mea e hakaka ai, e kuu Akua, e kuu Haku hoi.
24 Be my judge, O Lord my God, in your righteousness; do not let them be glad over me.
E hoopono mai ia'u, e Iehova kuu Akua, mamuli o kou pono; Mai noho a hauoli lakou maluna o'u.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, So we will have it: let them not say, We have put an end to him.
Mai noho a olelo lakou iloko o ko lakou naau, Aia la! O ko makou makemake no ia: Mai noho a olelo lakou, Ua ale kakou ia ia.
26 Let all those who take pleasure in my troubles be shamed and come to nothing: let those who are lifted up against me be covered with shame and have no honour.
E hoka a e hoohilahila pu ia no hoi ka poe hauoli i ko'u poino; E hoaahuia me ka hilahila a me ka hoinoia ka poe haanui ku e mai ia'u.
27 Let those who are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant.
E hooho i ka olioli a e hauoli hoi ka poe kokua i kuu pono; A e olelo mau lakou, E mahaloia'ku o Iehova, Ka mea i oluolu i ka pomaikai o kana kauwa nei.
28 And my tongue will be talking of your righteousness and of your praise all the day.
A e hai aku kuu alelo i kou hoopono ana, A i ka hoolea nou a po ka la.
