Psalms 52
1 For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the home of Ahimelech.” You great man, why do you boast about the evil things you've done? God's trustworthy love lasts all day long.
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 You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!
Ua hoomakaukau kou alelo i na mea hewa; Me he pahi umiumi la, e hana malu ana.
3 You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)
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 love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!
Makemake no oe i na olelo a pau e pau ai, E ke alelo kumakaia.
5 But God will strike you down so hard you'll never get up. He will grab hold of you and drag you from your tent. He will tear you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
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 Those who do right will see all this. They will be astonished and laugh, saying,
E ike no hoi ka poe pono, a e weliweli, A e akaaka lakou ia ia.
7 “See what happens to those who don't go to God for help but instead rely on their great wealth and strength—which only brings their destruction!”
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'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love 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 praise you forever, God, for all you have done. In the presence of your trustworthy people, I will place my hope in the kind of person you are, for you are good.
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.
