Psalms 88
1 A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Unto the end. For Mahalath, to answer the understanding of Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord, God of my salvation: I have cried out, day and night, in your presence.
E IEHOVA, ke Akua o ko'u ola, Ua kahea aku no au imua ou i ke ao a me ka po.
2 Let my prayer enter in your sight. Incline your ear to my petition.
E hookomo aku i ka'u pule imua ou; E haliu mai hoi kou pepeiao i ka'u kahea ana.
No ka mea, ua ana ko'u uhane i na popilikia; Ke hookokoke nei ko'u ola i ka luapo. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am considered to be among those who will descend into the pit. I have become like a man without assistance,
Ua helu pu ia no wau me ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua; Ua like hoi au me ke kanaka, aohe ona ikaika:
5 idle among the dead. I am like the wounded sleeping in sepulchers, whom you no longer remember, and who have been repelled by your hand.
Ua waiho wale ia iwaena o ka poe make, Ua like hoi me ka poe i houia e moe ana ma ka lua, Aole oe e hoomanao hou ia lakou; Ua hookiia lakou, mai kou lima aku.
6 They have lain me in the lower pit: in dark places and in the shadow of death.
Ua hoomoe oe ia'u iloko o ka lua hohonu loa, Maloko o ka pouli, a me ua hohonu.
7 Your fury has been confirmed over me. And you have brought all your waves upon me.
Ua kaumaha mai kou huhu maluna o'u, Ua hoopilikia mai oe ia'u i kou mau ale a pau. (Sila)
8 You have sent my acquaintances far from me. They have set me as an abomination to themselves. I was handed over, yet I did not depart.
Ua hookaawale loa aku oe i ko'u makamaka mai o'u aku, Ua hoolilo mai oe ia'u i mea hoopailua no lakou: Ua paa no hoi au, aole e hiki ia'u ke hele aku.
9 My eyes languished before destitution. All day long, I cried out to you, O Lord. I stretched out my hands to you.
Ua hokii ko'u mau maka no ka popilikia; Ua kahea aku no wau ia oe, e Iehova, i na la a pau, Ua kikoo aku no hoi au i ko'u lima ia oe.
10 Will you perform wonders for the dead? Or will physicians raise to life, and so confess to you?
E hoike anei oe i na hana mana no ka poe i make? E ala mai anei na lapu e hoolea aku ia oe? (Sila)
11 Could anyone declare your mercy in the sepulcher, or your truth from within perdition?
E haiia anei kou lokomaikai ma ka luakupapau? A me kou oiaio hoi maloko o ka po?
12 Will your wonders be known in the darkness, or your justice in the land of oblivion?
E ikea anei kau hana mana maloko o ka pouli? A me kou pono hoi maloko o ka aina meki?
13 And I have cried out to you, O Lord, and in early morning, my prayer will come before you.
E kahea aku nae au ia oe, e Iehova; I ke kakahiaka hoi e halawai no ka'u pule me oe.
14 Lord, why do you reject my prayer? Why do you turn your face away from me?
E Iehova, no ke aha la oe e hoopailua mai i ko'u uhane? A huna hoi i kou maka ia'u?
15 I am poor, and I have been amid hardships from my youth. And, though I have been exalted, I am humbled and disturbed.
Ua pilikia au, a kokoke no i ka make, mai ko'u wa uuku mai; Ia'u i loohia'i i kou mea makau, ua kupikipikio au.
16 Your wrath has crossed into me, and your terrors have disturbed me.
Ua hele ae maluna o'u kou huhu wela; Ua hooki loa hoi kou mau mea makau ia'u.
17 They have surrounded me like water, all day long. They have surrounded me, all at once.
Hele poai mai la lakou ia'u, me he wai la; Hoopuni mai la lakou ia'u.
18 Friend and neighbor, and my acquaintances, you have sent far away from me, away from misery.
Ua hookaawale loa oe i ko'u mea aloha, a me ko'u makamaka, mai o'u aku, Aia hoi ko'u hoalauna ma ka pouli.
