Psalms 44
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. We haue heard with our eares, O God: our fathers haue tolde vs the workes, that thou hast done in their dayes, in the olde time:
E KE Akua, ua lohe makou me ko makou mau pepeiao, Ua hai mai ko makou mau makua ia makou, I na hana au i hana'i i ko lakou mau la, i na wa kahiko.
2 Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thine hand, and planted them: how thou hast destroyed the people, and caused them to grow.
Kipaku aku la oe i na lahuikanaka me kou lima, a hookomo mai ia lakou la; Hoopilikia iho la oe i na kanaka a kiola aku la:
3 For they inherited not the lande by their owne sworde, neither did their owne arme saue them: but thy right hand, and thine arme and the light of thy countenance, because thou didest fauour them.
No ka mea, aole me ka lakou pahikaua iho i loaa ai ia lakou ka aina; Aole hoi no ko lakou lima ponoi i hoola iho ia lakou iho: Aka, o kou peahi akau, a me kou lima, a me ka malamalama o kou maka; No ka mea, ua lokomaikai mai oe ia lakou.
4 Thou art my King, O God: send helpe vnto Iaakob.
O oe no ko'u Alii, e ke Akua; E kauoha mai i ka hoola ana ia Iakoba.
5 Through thee haue we thrust backe our aduersaries: by thy Name haue we troden downe them that rose vp against vs.
Ma ou la e pahu aku ai makou i ko makou poe enemi: Ma kou inoa e hehi iho ai makou i ka poe ku e iluna ia makou.
6 For I do not trust in my bowe, neither can my sworde saue me.
No ka mea, aole ma kuu kakaka e hilinai aku ai au: Aole hoi e hoola mai ka'u pahikaua ia'u.
7 But thou hast saued vs from our aduersaries, and hast put them to confusion that hate vs.
Aka, nau no makou i hoopakele i ko makou poe enemi, A ua hoohoka oe i ka poe i inaina mai ia makou.
8 Therefore will wee praise God continually, and will confesse thy Name for euer. (Selah)
Iloko o ke Akua e kaena ai makou a po ka la, A e hoomaikai mau loa aku i kou inoa. (Sila)
9 But now thou art farre off, and puttest vs to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.
Aka, ua haalele ae nei oe a ua hoohilahila ia makou; Aole hoi oe i hele pu me ko makou poe kaua.
10 Thou makest vs to turne backe from the aduersary, and they, which hate vs, spoile for theselues.
A ua hoohuli oe ia makou i hope mai ka enemi mai; A o ka poe hoowahawaha ia makou, ua hao mai lakou no lakou iho.
11 Thou giuest vs as sheepe to bee eaten, and doest scatter vs among the nations.
Ua haawi oe ia makou me he mau hipa la e lilo i ai; Ua hoopuehu hoi ia makou iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
12 Thou sellest thy people without gaine, and doest not increase their price.
Ua kuai hoolilo aku oe i kou poe kanaka no ka mea ole, Aole hoi i hoomahuahua ma ka uku no lakou.
13 Thou makest vs a reproche to our neighbours, a iest and a laughing stocke to them that are round about vs.
Ua waiho oe ia makou he mea e hoinoia iwaena o ko makou poe hoanoho, He mea e hoowahawaha ai a e henehene ai no ka poe e hoopuni ana ia makou.
14 Thou makest vs a prouerbe among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people.
Ua hoolilo oe ia makou i huaolelo ino, A i luli poo ana iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
15 My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me,
E mau ana ko'u hoinoia imua o ko'u maka; A ua uhi mai ka hilahila o ko'u maka ia'u:
16 For the voyce of the slaunderer and rebuker, for the enemie and auenger.
No ka leo o ka mea i hailiili a i hoino wale mai; No ka enemi hoi a me ka mea hoopai.
17 All this is come vpon vs, yet doe wee not forget thee, neither deale wee falsly concerning thy couenant.
Ua pau ia mea i ke kau mai maluna o makou, Aole hoi makou i hoopoina ia oe; Aole hoi i hoopunipuni makou ma kou berita.
18 Our heart is not turned backe: neither our steps gone out of thy paths,
Aole i hoohuliia ko makou naau, Aole hoi i kapae ae ko makou mau kapuwai mai kou aoao ae;
19 Albeit thou hast smitten vs downe into the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadow of death.
Ua hanapepe loa oe ia makou ma kahi nahesa; A ua hoouhi mai oe ia makou me ka malu o ka make.
20 If wee haue forgotten the Name of our God, and holden vp our hands to a strange god,
Ina i hoopoina makou i ka inoa o ko makou Akua, Ina i kikoo aku ko makou mau lima i kahi akua wahahee;
21 Shall not God searche this out? for hee knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Aole anei i imi ke Akua ia mea? No ka mea, ua ike oia i na mea huna o ka naau.
22 Surely for thy sake are we slaine continually, and are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.
Oiaio, nou makou i pepehiia'i a po ka la; Ua manaoia makou me he mau hipa la e hoomakeia.
23 Vp, why sleepest thou, O Lord? awake, be not farre off for euer.
E ala'e, o ke aha kou mea e hiamoe ai, e ka Haku? E ku mai hoi iluna, mai haalele mai ia makou a mau loa.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face? and forgettest our miserie and our affliction?
No ke aha la i huna ai oe i kou maka? A i hoopoina hoi i ko makou popilikia, a me ko makou hooluhihewaia?
25 For our soule is beaten downe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto the ground.
No ka mea, ua kulou iho ko makou uhane i ka lepo; Ua pili ko makou opu i ka honua.
26 Rise vp for our succour, and redeeme vs for thy mercies sake.
E ku mai oe e kokua no makou, A e hoola ia makou no kou aloha.
