< Psalms 52 >

1 Unto the end. The understanding of David. When Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul, David went to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you glory in malice, you who are powerful in iniquity?
NO ke aha la e hoonui ai oe ma ka hewa, e ke kanaka ikaika? E mau loa ana no ka lokomaikai o ke Akua.
2 All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.
Ua hoomakaukau kou alelo i na mea hewa; Me he pahi umiumi la, e hana malu ana.
3 You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.
Makemake no oe i ka ino, aole i ka maikai; A i ka hoopunipuni ana hoi, aole i ka olelo i ka pono. (Sila)
4 You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.
Makemake no oe i na olelo a pau e pau ai, E ke alelo kumakaia.
5 Because of this, God will destroy you in the end. He will pull you up, and he will remove you from your tabernacle and your root from the land of the living.
E hoohiolo mai no hoi ke Akua ia oe a mau loa, E kiola aku oia ia oe, a kaili aku mai loko aku o kou wahi i noho ai, A e uhuki ae hoi oia ia oe mailoko ae o ka aina o ka poe ola. (Sila)
6 The just will see and be afraid, and they will laugh over him, and say:
E ike no hoi ka poe pono, a e weliweli, A e akaaka lakou ia ia.
7 “Behold the man who did not set God as his helper. But he hoped in the multitude of his riches, and so he prevailed in his emptiness.”
Aia hoi, oia ke kanaka i lawe ole i ke Akua i ikaika nona; Aka, ua hilinai i ka nui o kona waiwai iho, A ua hooikaika ia ia iho iloko o kona hewa.
8 But I, like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God unto eternity, and forever and ever.
Aka, he mea like au me ka laauoliva uliuli iloko a ka hale o ke Akua; E hilinai mau aku wau i ke aloha o ke Akua a mau loa aku.
9 I will confess to you forever, because you have accomplished it. And I will wait on your name, for it is good in the sight of your saints.
E hoolea mau loa aku au ia oe, No ka mea, nau no ia i hana; E hilinai hoi au i kou inoa; No ka mea, he pono ia imua o kou poe haipule.
