Psalms 88
1 A canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite. O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.
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 come in before thee: incline thy 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 counted among them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without help,
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 Free among the dead. Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cast off from thy 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 laid me in the lower pit: in the 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 Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.
Ua kaumaha mai kou huhu maluna o'u, Ua hoopilikia mai oe ia'u i kou mau ale a pau. (Sila)
8 Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: they have set me an abomination to themselves. I was delivered up, and came not forth:
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 through poverty. All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: I stretched out my hands to thee.
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 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?
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 Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: and thy truth in destruction?
E haiia anei kou lokomaikai ma ka luakupapau? A me kou oiaio hoi maloko o ka po?
12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
E ikea anei kau hana mana maloko o ka pouli? A me kou pono hoi maloko o ka aina meki?
13 But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.
E kahea aku nae au ia oe, e Iehova; I ke kakahiaka hoi e halawai no ka'u pule me oe.
14 Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: why turnest thou away thy face 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 in labours from my youth: and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.
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 Thy wrath hath come upon me: and thy terrors have troubled me.
Ua hele ae maluna o'u kou huhu wela; Ua hooki loa hoi kou mau mea makau ia'u.
17 They have come round about me like water all the day: they have compassed me about together.
Hele poai mai la lakou ia'u, me he wai la; Hoopuni mai la lakou ia'u.
18 Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: and my acquaintance, because of 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.
