< Psalms 90 >

1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our resting-place in all generations.
E KA Haku, he puuhonua no oe no makou i kela hanauna i keia hanauna.
2 Before the mountains were made, before you had given birth to the earth and the world, before time was, and for ever, you are God.
Mamua aku o ka hanau ana o na mauna, A me kou hoomaka ana i ka honua a me ke ao nei, O oe no ke Akua, mai kahiko loa mai, a mau loa aku no.
3 You send man back to his dust; and say, Go back, you children of men.
Ke hoihoi aku nei oe i ke kanaka i ka lepo; A olelo mai no hoi, E hoi oukou, e na keiki a kanaka.
4 For to you a thousand years are no more than yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night.
No ka mea, o na makahiki he tausani imua o kou mau maka, Ua like no me ka la inehinei i hala aku la, Me he kiai la hoi o ka po.
5
Hookahe aku no oe ia lakou, he hiamoe no lakou; I ke kakahiaka kupu mai no ia me he mauu la.
6 In the morning it is green; in the evening it is cut down, and becomes dry.
Pua mai no ia i ke kakahiaka a mohala iho, A i ke ahiahi ua okiia ia ilalo a mae wale iho la.
7 We are burned up by the heat of your passion, and troubled by your wrath.
No ka mea, ua hoopauia makou i kou huhu, Ua oki loa hoi makou i kou inaina.
8 You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face.
Ua kau no oe i ko makou hewa imua ou, A mo ka makou mea malu, ma ka malamalama o kou maka.
9 For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath.
No ka mea, i kou huhu, ua hala'e ko makou mau la a pau; Ke hoopau nei makou i ko makou mau makahiki me he manao la.
10 The measure of our life is seventy years; and if through strength it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are quickly gone.
O na la o ko makou mau makahiki. He kanahiku, makahiki iloko o laila; Aka, ina no ka ikaika he kanawalu makahiki lakou, Alaila, o ko lakou ikaika, he luhi wale no ia, a me ke kaumaha; No ka mea, hooki koke ia ia, a lele aku la makou.
11 Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion?
Owai ka mea i ike i ka ikaika o kou huhu? No ka mea, e like me ka makau ia oe, pela no kou ukiuki mai.
12 So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.
E ao mai oe i ka helu i ko makou mau la, I komo mai ai ke akamai iloko o ko makou naau.
13 Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed.
E hoi mai oe, e Iehova, pehea la ka loihi? A e minamina mai hoi i kau poe kauwa.
14 In the morning give us your mercy in full measure; so that we may have joy and delight all our days.
E hoomaona koke mai oe ia makou i ka lokomaikai, I hauoli ai makou, a olioli hoi i ko makou mau la a pau.
15 Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil.
E hoohauoli mai oe ia makou, e like me na la o kou hoopilikia ana ia makou, A me na makahiki hoi a makou i ike ai i ka hewa.
16 Make your work clear to your servants, and your glory to their children.
E hoike mai oe i kau hana i kau poe kauwa, A me kou hanohano hoi i ka lakou poe keiki.
17 Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands.
E hoonoho mai maluna o makou i ke aloha o Iehova ko makou Akua: E hoopaa mai oe i ka hana a ko makou lima me makou; Oia, o ka hana a ko makou mau lima, e hoopaa mai oe ia.
