Psalms 78
1 Maschil. Of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law; let your ears be bent down 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 Opening my mouth I will give out a story, even the dark sayings of old times;
E hooaka ae au i kuu waha ma na himeni, A e hai aku hoi i na mele kahiko;
3 Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.
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 keep them secret from our children; we will make clear to the coming generation the praises of the Lord and his strength, and the great works of wonder which he has done.
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 He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them 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 So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their 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 So that they might put their hope in God, and not let God's works go out of their minds, but keep his laws;
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 And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true 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 children of Ephraim, armed with bows, were turned back on the day of the fight.
O na mamo a Eperaima i kahikoia i ke kakaka, Huli hope no lakou i ka la i kaua'i.
10 They were not ruled by God's word, and they would not go in the way of his law;
Aole lakou i malama i ka berita o ke Akua, A hoole lakou i ka hele ma kona kanawai:
11 They let his works go out of their memory, and the wonders which he had made them see.
Poina ia lakou kana mau hana. Na mea kupanaha hoi ana i hoike mai ai.
12 He did great works before the eyes of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the fields 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 The sea was cut in two so that they might go through; the waters were massed together on this side and on that.
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 In the daytime he was guiding them in the cloud, and all through the night with a light of fire.
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 The rocks of the waste land were broken by his power, and he gave them drink as out of the deep waters.
Wahi ae la oia i na pohaku ma ka waonahele, Hoohainu mai oia, e like me na ale nui.
16 He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing 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 And they went on sinning against him even more, turning away from the Most High in the waste land;
Hana hewa hou aku la lakou ia ia, I ke ku e ana i ka Mea kiekie ma ka waoakua.
18 Testing God in their hearts, requesting meat for their desire.
Hoao aku la lakou i ke Akua ma ko lakou naau, I ka nonoi ana i ai, no ko lakou kuko iho.
19 They said bitter words against God, saying, Is God able to make ready a table in the waste land?
Hoowahawaha aku la lakou i ke Akua, i iho la, E hiki anei i ke Akua ke halii i papaaina ma ka waonahele?
20 See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?
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 So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up 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 had no faith in God, and no hope in his salvation.
No ka mea, aole lakou i manaoio i ke Akua; Aole hoi i paulele i kona kokua ana.
23 And he gave orders to the clouds on high, and the doors of heaven were open;
Ua kauoha nae oia i na ao, mailuna mai, A ua wahi no hoi i puka ma ka lani,
24 And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of 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 took part in the food of strong ones; he sent them meat in full measure.
Ai iho la na kanaka i ka ai a ka poe kiekie: Hoouka mai la oia i io na lakou a nui.
26 He sent an east wind from heaven, driving on the south wind by his power.
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 sent down meat on them like dust, and feathered 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 And he let it come down into their resting-place, round about their tents.
Hoohaule iho la oia ia mea ma ke kahua hoomoana, A puni hoi ko lakou wahi i noho ai.
29 So they had food and were full; for he gave them their desire;
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 But they were not turned from their desires; and while the food was 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 The wrath of God came on them, and put to death the fattest of them, and put an end to 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 For all this they went on sinning even more, and had no faith in his great wonders.
Aka, ma ia mau mea a pau, hana hewa hou iho la no lakou, Aole i manaoio i kana mau hana kupanaha.
33 So their days were wasted like a breath, and their years in trouble.
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 sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;
Ina luku oia ia lakou, alaila, nonoi aku lakou ia ia, Huli ae la no hoi, a imi i ke Akua.
35 In the memory that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their saviour.
Hoomanao iho la lakou, o ke Akua ko lakou Pohaku, A o ke Akua kiekie hoi ko lakou Hoolapanai.
36 But their lips were false to him, and their tongues were untrue to him;
Aka, hoomalimali aku lakou ia ia ma ko lakou waha A wahahee aku no hoi ia ia ma ko lakou alelo.
37 And their hearts were not right with him, and they did not keep their agreement with him.
Aole i kupaa ko lakou naau ma ke Akua, Aole hoi i hilinai i kona berita.
38 But he, being full of pity, has forgiveness for sin, and does not put an end to man: frequently turning back his wrath, and not being violently angry.
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 So he kept in mind that they were only flesh; a breath which is quickly gone, and will not come again.
No ka mea, hoomanao oia, he palupalu lakou, He ea hele wale aku, aole hoi mai.
40 How frequently did they go against him in the waste land, and give him cause for grief in the dry places!
Me he aha la la ko lakou kipikipi ana ia ia ma ka waonahele? A hoonaukiuki ia ia ma ka waoakua?
41 Again they put God to the test, and gave pain to 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 keep in mind the work of his hand, or the day when he took them from the power of their haters;
Aole lakou i hoomanao i kona lima, I ka la ana i hoopakele ai ia lakou i ka pilikia,
43 How he had done his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field 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 So that their rivers were turned to blood, and they were not able to get drink from their streams.
Hoolilo oia i ko lakou muliwai i koko, A me na kahawai hoi, a hiki ole ia lakou ke inu.
45 He sent different sorts of flies among them, poisoning their flesh; and frogs for their destruction.
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 the increase of their fields to worms, the fruits of their industry to the locusts.
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 sent ice for the destruction of their vines; their trees were damaged by the bitter cold.
Pepehi mai la oia i ka lakou kumuwaina i ka huahekili, A me ka lakou sukamora i ka hau.
48 Ice was rained down on their cattle; thunderstorms sent destruction among the flocks.
Hoolilo ae la oia i na bipi a lakou i ka huahekili, A me na holoholona a lakou i ka uila.
49 He sent on them the heat of his wrath, his bitter disgust, letting loose evil angels among them.
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 let his wrath have its way; he did not keep back their soul from death, but gave their life to disease.
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 gave to destruction all the first sons of Egypt; the first-fruits of their strength 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 But he took his people out like sheep, guiding them in the waste land like a flock.
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 took them on safely so that they had no fear; but their haters were covered by the sea.
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 And he was their guide to his holy land, even to the mountain, which his right hand had made his;
Hoohele oia ia lakou i kona aina hoano, I keia mauna hoi a kona lima akau i hookumu ai.
55 Driving out nations before them, marking out the line of their heritage, and giving the people of Israel their tents for a resting-place.
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 were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;
Aka, hoao lakou i ke Akua kiekie, a kipi aku la, Aole hoi i malama i kana mau kauoha:
57 Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted 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 made him angry with their high places; moving him to wrath with their images.
Hoonaukiuki lakou ia ia i ko lakou wahi kiekie, A hoolili no hoi ia ia i ko lakou poe kii kalaiia.
59 When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;
A lohe ke Akua alaila, huhu mai la ia, A hoopailua loa no hoi i ka Iseraela.
60 So that he went away from the holy place in Shiloh, the tent which he had put 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 And he let his strength be taken prisoner, and gave his glory into the hands of his hater.
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 gave his people up to the sword, and was angry with his heritage.
Hoolilo no oia i kona poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A huhu mai la i kona hooilina.
63 Their young men were burned in the fire; and their virgins were not praised in the bride-song.
Hoopau no ke ahi i kona poe kanaka ui; Aole nae i kanikau na wahine puupaa.
64 Their priests were put to death by the sword, and their widows made no weeping for them.
Haule no hoi kona poe kahuna i ka pahikaua; Aole nae i kanikau kona poe wahiue kanemake.
65 Then was the Lord like one awaking from sleep, and like a strong man crying out because of 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 His haters were turned back by his blows and shamed for ever.
Alaila, pehi ae la oia i kona poe enemi ma ko lakou hope; Haawi no ia i hilahila mau loa lakou.
67 And he put the tent of Joseph on one side, and took not the tribe of Ephraim;
Hoowahawaha oia i ka halelewa o Iosepa, Aole hoi i wae i ka ohana o Eperaima:
68 But he took the tribe of Judah for himself, and the mountain of Zion, in which he had pleasure.
Aka, wae no ia i ka ohana o Iuda, I ka mauna hoi o Ziona ana i aloha'i.
69 And he made his holy place like the high heaven, like the earth which is fixed by him for ever.
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 took David to be his servant, taking him from the place of the flocks;
Wae mai la oia ia Davida i kana kauwa, A lawe ae la ia ia, mai na pahipa ae:
71 From looking after the sheep which were giving milk, he took him to give food to Jacob his people, and to Israel his heritage.
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 he gave them food with an upright heart, guiding them by the wisdom of his 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.
