Psalms 74
1 Maschil. Of Asaph. Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?
E KE Akua, o ke aha kau mea e mamao mau loa aku ai? No ke aha la e wela mai ai kou huhu i na hipa o kou aina?
2 Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.
E hoomanao oe i kou ekalesia au i kuai kahiko loa ai, Ka ohana o kou hooilina au i kuai ai; O keia mauna Ziona kahi i noho ai oe.
3 Go up and see the unending destruction; all the evil which your haters have done in the holy place;
E hoeu i kou wawae i ka neoneo mau ana; I na mea a pau a ka enemi i hana hewa ai iloko e kou wahi hoano.
4 Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen.
Ua uwo kou poe enemi iloko o na anaina; Ua kau lakou i ko lakou mau hae i hoailona.
5 They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees.
Kaulana aku la ke kanaka, E like me kona hapai ana i na koi i na laau paapu.
6 Your doors are broken down with hammers and iron blades.
Aka ano, ke wawahi nei lakou i kona mea i kalaiia, Me na koi a me na hamare.
7 They have put on fire your holy place; they have made the place of your name unclean, pulling it down to the earth.
Ua hoolei lakou i ke ahi iloko o kou wahi hoano, Ua hoohaumia lakou ilalo i ka lepo i ka halelewa o kou inoa.
8 They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land.
I iho la lakou ma ko lakou naau, E luku pu kakou ia lakou; Ua hoopau i ke ahi i na halehalawai a pau o ke Akua ma ka aina.
9 We do not see our signs: there is no longer any prophet, or anyone among us to say how long.
Aole kakou i ike i ko kakou mau hoailona; Aole he kaula hou ae; Aohe mea iwaena o kakou i ike i ka loihi ana.
10 O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?
E ke Akua, pehea ka loihi o ko ka enemi hoino ana mai? E hoino wale anei ka enemi i kou inoa i ka manawa pau ole?
11 Why are you keeping back your hand, and covering your right hand in your robe?
No ke aha la oe i hoihoi aku ai i kou lima, i kou lima akau? E unuhi ae ia mai loko ae o kou poli.
12 For from the past God is my King, working salvation in the earth.
No ka mea, o ke Akua ko'u Alii mai kinohi mai, E hana ana ma ke ola iwaena o ka honua.
13 The sea was parted in two by your strength; the heads of the great sea-beasts were broken.
Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kai me kou ikaika: Wawahi iho la oe i na poo o na kerokodila ma na wai.
14 The heads of the great snake were crushed by you; you gave them as food to the fishes of the sea.
Ulupa iho la oe i na poo o ka leviatana, A haawi ia ia i ai na na kanaka o ka waonahele.
15 You made valleys for fountains and springs; you made the ever-flowing rivers dry.
Hookaawale ae la oe i ke kumuwai me ka muliwai: Hoomaloo iho la oe i na waikahe ikaika.
16 The day is yours and the night is yours: you made the light and the sun.
Nou no ke ao, nou no hoi ka po: Ua hoomakaukau oe i ka malamalama a me ka la.
17 By you all the limits of the earth were fixed; you have made summer and winter.
Ua hoonohonoho oe i na palena a pau o ka honua; Ua hana hoi oe i ka hoilo a me ka makalii.
18 Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.
E hoomanao oe i keia, ua hoino wale ka enemi, e Iehova, A ua kuamuamu wale na kanaka naaupo i kou inoa.
19 O give not the soul of your dove to the hawk; let not the life of the poor go out of your memory for ever.
Mai noho a haawi i ka uhane o kau manu nunu i ka poe ino: Mai hoopoina mau loa i ke anaina o kou poe ilihune.
20 Keep in mind your undertaking; for the dark places of the earth are full of pride and cruel acts.
E manao mai oe i ka berita; No ka mea, ua paapu na wahi pouli o ka honua i na wahi e noho ai ka lalauwale.
21 O let not the crushed be turned back in shame; let the low man and the poor give praise to your name.
Mai noho a hoi hou ka poe i hooluhihewaia me ka hilahila; Aka, e hoolea aku i kou inoa ka poe ilihune a me ka haahaa.
22 Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.
E ku iluna, e ko Akua, e hakaka i ko'u hakaka: E hoomanao i ko ke kanaka naaupo hoino wale ana ia oe i na la a pau.
23 Keep in mind the voice of your haters; the outcry of those who come against you goes up every day.
Mai hoopoina i ka leo o kou poe enemi: Ke mahuahua mai nei ka haunaele ana o ka poe ku e ia oe.
