Psalms 79
1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the Gentiles have entered into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple. They have set Jerusalem as a place to tend fruit trees.
E KE Akua e, ua komo mai ko na aina e iloko o kou hooilina; Ua hoohaumia lakou i kou luakini hoano; A ua hoolilo no hoi ia Ierusalema, i ahu opala.
2 They have placed the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints for the beasts of the earth.
Ua haawi lakou i na kupapau o kau poe kauwa, I ai na na manu o ka lewa; A me ke kino no hoi o kou poe haipule, Na na holoholona o ka honua.
3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one who would bury them.
Ua hookahe lakou i ko lakou nei koko me he wai la, A puni o Ierusalema; aohe mea nana e kanu iho.
4 We have become a disgrace to our neighbors, an object of ridicule and mockery to those who are around us.
Ua lilo makou i mea hoowahawahaia e ka poe e noho kokoke mai ana ia makou, He mea hoaikola, a akaaka hoi i ka poe e noho mai la a puni makou.
5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry until the end? Will your zeal be kindled like a fire?
Pehea la ka loihi, e Iehova? E huhu mau loa mai anei oe? E a anei kou lili me he ahi la?
6 Pour out your wrath among the Gentiles, who have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not invoked your name.
E ninini mai oe i kou huhu maluna o ko na aina e, Ka poe i ike ole ia oe, Maluna hoi o na aupuni i kahea ole aku i kou inoa.
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and they have desolated his place.
No ka mea, ua hoopau lakou ia Iakoba, A ua hooneoneo hoi i kona wahi i noho ai.
8 Do not remember our iniquities of the past. May your mercies quickly intercept us, for we have become exceedingly poor.
Mai hoomanao mai oe i na hala o ka makou poe kupuna, I mea e hewa'i makou: E hoowikiwiki mai oe i kou lokomaikai, No ka mea, ua pilikia loa makou.
9 Help us, O God, our Savior. And free us, Lord, for the glory of your name. And forgive us our sins for the sake of your name.
E kokua mai oe ia makou, e ke Akua o ko makou ola, I mea e hoonaniia'i kou inoa: E hoopakele mai oe ia makou, E kala mai hoi i ko makou hewa, no kou inoa iho.
10 Let them not say among the Gentiles, “Where is their God?” And may your name become known among the nations before our eyes. For the retribution of your servants’ blood, which has been poured out:
No ke aha la e olelo mai ai ko na aina e, Auhea la ko lakou Akua? Ina e ikeia oia e ko na aina e imua o ko makou mau maka, E hoopai ana i ke koko o kau poe kauwa i hookaheia.
11 may the groans of the shackled enter before you. According to the greatness of your arm, take possession of the sons of those who have been killed.
Ina e hiki aku imua ou ke kaniuhu ana o ke pio; E like me ka nui o kou mana, e hoopakele mai oe i na keiki o ka make.
12 And repay our neighbors sevenfold within their sinews. It is the reproach of the same ones who brought reproach against you, O Lord.
Maluna o ka poe e noho kokoke mai ana ia makou, E hoihoi pahiku oe iloko o ko lakou umauma, I ka hoino a lakou i hoino aku ai ia oe, e ka Haku e.
13 But we are your people and the sheep of your pasture: we will give thanks to you in all ages. From generation to generation, we will announce your praise.
Alaila, o makou, na kanaka ou, a me na hipa au i hanai ai, E mililaui mau aku no makou ia oe; A e hookani makou i kou nani i na hanauna a pau.
