Psalms 27
1 A Psalm of David, before he was sealed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
O Iehova ka ikaika o kuu ola nei; Ia wai la au e weliweli aku ai?
2 Meanwhile, the guilty draw near to me, so as to eat my flesh. Those who trouble me, my enemies, have themselves been weakened and have fallen.
I ka lele ana mai o ka poe hewa ia'u, O kuu mau enemi ka poe ku e mai ia'u, e ai i kuu io, Kuia iho la lakou a hina ilalo.
3 If entrenched armies were to stand together against me, my heart would not fear. If a battle were to rise up against me, I would have hope in this.
Ina e hoomoana ku e mai ka poe kaua ia'u, aole e makau ko'u naau; Ina e eu ku e mai ke kaua ia'u, ma keia no wau e hilinai ai.
4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
Hookahi no mea a'u i noi aku ai ia Iehova, oia ka'u e imi aku ai; E noho au maloko o ka hale o Iehova i na la a pau o ko'u ola ana. E nana aku i ka nani o Iehova, a e ninaninau iloko o kona luakini.
5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.
No ka mea, i ka wa popilikia e huna mai oia ia'u i kona malu: Ma kahi mehameha o kona halelewa e huna mai ai oia ia'u; E hoonoho no hoi oia ia'u maluna o ka pohaku.
6 He has exalted me upon the rock, and now he has exalted my head above my enemies. I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm, to the Lord.
Ano e hookiekieia'e kuu poo maluna o kuu mau enemi i hoopuni mai ia'u; Nolaila e kaumaha aku ai au iloko o kona halelewa i na mohai olioli: E oli aku au, oiaio, e hoolea aku wau ia Iehova.
7 Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. Have mercy on me, and hear me.
E hoolohe mai, e Iehova, i kuu hea ana'ku me kuu leo; E aloha mai hoi oe ia'u, e ae mai i ka'u.
8 My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. I yearn for your face, O Lord.
I kau olelo ana, E imi mai oukou i kuu alo; I aku la kuu naau ia oe, O kou alo, e Iehova, ka'u e imi ai
9 Do not turn your face away from me. In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant. Be my helper. Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Savior.
Mai huna i kou maka ia'u; Mai hoohemo i kau kauwa nei me ka huhu. Ua kokua mai no hoi oe ia'u; Mai hookuu wale ia'u, Mai haalele hoi oe ia'u, e kuu Akua e ola'i.
10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, but the Lord has taken me up.
Aia haalele ko'u makuakane a me ko'u makuwahine ia'u, Alaila e ohi mai no hoi o Iehova ia'u.
11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.
E ao mai ia'u, e Iehova, i kou alanui; A e alakai ia'u ma ke ala maniania no kuu poe enemi.
12 Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.
Mai haawi oe ia'u i ka makemake o kuu poe enemi, No ka mea, ua ku e mai ia'u na mea hoike wahahee, A me ka poe e ha ana'e i ka huhu hewa.
13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
Ina i manao ole au e ike i ka maikai o Iehova, i ka aina o ka poe ola, Ina ua maule e au.
14 Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.
E manaolana ia Iehova; i nui ka ikaika, A e hooikaika mai oia i kou naau; E hilinai aku hoi ia Iehova.
