Psalms 55
1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David. God, please hear my prayer; don't ignore my cry for help!
E HALIU mai i ka pepeiao i ka'u pule, e ke Akua, Mai hoonalo ia oe iho mai ka'u nonoi ana aku.
2 Please listen, and give me an answer. I'm terribly troubled by my problems! I'm frantic!
E nana mai ia'u a e hoolohe mai ia'u; Ke u nei au i ko'u manao ana, me ka auwe;
3 For my enemies are screaming at me; the wicked are intimidating me. They rain down suffering on me, angrily assaulting me in their hatred.
No ka leo o ka enemi, No ka hooluhi hewa ana mai o ka mea hewa: No ka mea, ua hooili mai lakou i ka hewa maluna o'u, A i ka ukiuki ua inaina mai lakou ia'u.
4 My heart thumps in agony! Terrified, I feel I'm about to die!
Ua ehaeha loa ko'u naau iloko o'u; A ua haule mai ko ka make mau mea weliweli maluna o'u.
5 I'm in a panic, trembling with fear; feelings of horror wash over me.
Ua kau mai maluna o'u ka makau a me ka haalulu; Ua popoiia mai au e ka weliweli.
6 I tell myself, If only God would give me wings like a dove so I could fly away and be at peace!
A olelo iho la au, Owai ka mea e haawi ia'u i mau eheu me he manu nunu la? E lele aku au i kahi e, a e hoomaha iho.
7 I would fly far away to escape, and stay in the wilderness. (Selah)
Aia hoi e hele kaawale loa aku au, A e noho ma ka waonahele. (Sila)
8 I would hurry to a place to hide, out of the wind, safe from the raging storm.
Alaila e hoolalelale au i kuu pakele ana, I ka makani nui o ka ino.
9 Confuse them, Lord! Muddle what they're saying, for I see violence and conflict in the city.
E hookae, e Iehova, a hoomokuahana i ka lakou mau alelo: No ka mea, ua ike au i ka hooluhi wale a me ka hakaka ana malok'o o ke kulanakauhale.
10 They patrol the city walls day and night, and wickedness and trouble are within the city.
I ke ao, a me ka po, i holoholo ai lakou maluna o kona mau pa; He kolohe, a he pioloke ka iwaena konu ona.
11 The ones causing destruction are inside the city; frauds and cheats are always on the streets.
Iwaena konu ona ka hana hewa ana; Aole haalele ka hoopunipuni a me ka wahahee i kona mau alanui.
12 The problem is that it's not an enemy who mocks me—I could stand that. It's not someone who hates me who insults me—I could avoid them.
No ka mea, aole he enemi, ka i hoino mai ia'u; Ina pela hiki no ia'u ke hoomanawanui: Aole ka mea inaina mai ia'u ka i hookiekie ku e mai ia'u; Ilaila i pee aku ai au mai ona aku la:
13 No, it's you, a man just like me, my best friend who I know so well!
Aka, o oe no ia, he kanaka e ku like ana me au, Ka'u punahele, a o ko'u hoalauna hoi.
14 Our friendship was so close. We used to have great talks together as we walked with everyone to the house of God.
Ua kamailio oluolu pu kaua, A ua hele pu i ka hale o ke Akua me ka lehulehu.
15 May death come quickly to them; may they go down into the grave alive, because evil finds its home in them. (Sheol h7585)
E lalau mai ka make ia lakou, E iho koke lakou ilalo i ka malu o ka make; No ka mea, he hewa ko loko o ko lakou mau hale, a iwaena o lakou. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I cry out to God, and the Lord will save me.
Aka, owau nei la, e kahea aku au i ke Akua; A e hoola mai no o Iehova ia'u.
17 I weep and groan morning, noon, and night, and he listens to me.
I ke ahiahi, i ke kakahiaka, i ke awakea, e pule aku ai au, A e kahea nui aku au; a e hoolohe mai oia i ko'u leo.
18 He rescues me, keeping me safe and sound from my attackers, because there are so many against me.
Me ka maluhia e hoopakele oia i ko'u uhane i ke kaua mai ia'u; No ka mea, ua nui ka poe me au.
19 God who has ruled from the beginning will hear me and answer them. (Selah) For they refuse to change and don't respect God.
E hoolohe mai no ke Akua, a e hoohaahaa ia lakou, O ka mea mai kahiko mai. (Sila) No ka mea, aohe o lakou luli ana; Nolaila, aole o lakou makau i ke Akua.
20 As for my best friend, he attacked his friends who had no quarrel with him; he broke the promises he had made to them.
Ua kikoo oia i kona lima i ka mea e kuikahi ana me ia; Ua uhai oia i kana berita.
21 What he says is as smooth as butter, but inside he plans war; his words are as soothing as oil, but they cut like sharp swords.
Ua oi aku ka pahee o kana mau olelo mamua o ko ka bata, Aka, he kaua ko loko o kona naau: Ua oi aku ka oluolu o kana mau olelo i ko ka aila; Aka, he mau pahikaua unuhiia lakou.
22 Throw your burdens onto the Lord and he will take care of you. He will never allow those who live right to fall.
E waiho aku i kau mea kaumaha maluna o Iehova, A e Kokua mai oia ia oe: Aole loa ia e waiho mai i ka mea pono e hoonauweia.
23 But you, God, will bring down murderers and liars, throwing them into the pit of destruction before they have even lived half their lives. As for me, I will trust in you.
Aka, e ke Akua, e hoohaahaa iho oe ia lakou i ka lua o ka make: O na kanaka koko a me ka hoopunipuni, aole lakou e ola a pau ka hapalua o ko lakou mau la; Aka, e hilinai aku au ia oe.
