< Psalms 66 >
1 For the Leader. A Song, a Psalm. Shout unto God, all the earth;
E HOOKANI olioli i ke Akua, e na aina a pau:
2 Sing praises unto the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.
E himeni aku i ka nani o kona inoa: E hoolilo i ka hoolea nona i mea nani.
3 Say unto God: 'How tremendous is Thy work! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies dwindle away before Thee.
E olelo aku i ke Akua, Nani kou kupaianaha i kau hana aua! No ka nui o kou mana e hoolohe ai kou mau enemi ia oe.
4 All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing praises unto Thee; they shall sing praises to Thy name.' (Selah)
E pau ka honua i ka hoomana aku ia oe, me ke mele aku ia oe; E himeni aku lakou i kou inoa. (Sila)
5 Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men.
E hele mai oukou e ike i na hana a ke Akua; He kupaianaha ia i kana hana ana no na keiki a kanaka.
6 He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there let us rejoice in Him!
Hoolilo mai la oia i ke kai i aina maloo: Hele wawae ae la lakou iwaena o ka muliwai: Malaila kakou i hauoli aku ai ia ia.
7 Who ruleth by His might for ever; His eyes keep watch upon the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)
Ma kona mana ua hoomalu mau loa oia; Ke nana mai nei kona mau maka i na lahuikanaka: Aole e hookiekie ae ka poe kipikipi. (Sila)
8 Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of His praise to be heard;
E hoomaikai i ko kakou Akua, e na kanaka, E hooloheia'ku ka leo o ka hoolea nona:
9 Who hath set our soul in life, and suffered not our foot to be moved,
Ka mea i hoomau i ko kakou uhane ma ke ola nei; Aole i kuu mai e kapeke ko kakou mau wawae.
10 For Thou, O God, hast tried us; Thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.
No ka mea, ua hoao mai oe, e ke Akua, ia makou; Ua hoao mai oe ia makou me he kala la i hoaoia.
11 Thou didst bring us into the hold; Thou didst lay constraint upon our loins.
Ua hookomo oe ia makou i ka upena; Ua waiho mai oe i ka mea kaumaha ma ko makou mau puhaka.
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but Thou didst bring us out unto abundance.
Ua haawi mai oe, e hooholo na kanaka maluna o ko makou mau poo: Hele ae la makou iwaena o ke ahi a me ka wai: Aka, ua lawe mai oe ia makou ma kahi waiwai.
13 I will come into Thy house with burnt-offerings, I will perform unto Thee my vows,
E hele au iloko o kou hale me na mohaikuni: E hooko aku au nou i ka'u mau mea i hoohiki aku ai,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.
Ka mea a ko'u mau lehelehe i hoopuka aku ai; A me ko'u waha i olelo ai i kuu popilikia ana.
15 I will offer unto Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, with the sweet smoke of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)
E kaumaha aku au nou i na mohaikuni momona, Me ka mea ala o na hipa kane; E alana aku au i na bipi me na kao. (Sila)
16 Come, and hearken, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul.
E hele mai e hoolohe, e ka poe a pau i weliweli i ke Akua, A e hai aku au i ka mea ana i hana mai ai no kuu uhane.
17 I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.
Ua kahea aku au ia ia me kuu waha, A ua hapaiia'ku hoi ia e ko'u alelo.
18 If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear;
Ina malama au i ka hewa ma ko'u naau, Aole e hoolohe mai ka Haku ia'u:
19 But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
Aka, ua hoolohe io mai no ke Akua; Ua maliu mai i ka leo o ka'u pule.
20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.
E hoomaikaiia'ku ke Akua, Ka mea i hookapae ole i ka'u pule, A me kona aloha, mai o'u aku nei.
