2 Samuel 22
1 And David spake unto YHWH the words of this song in the day that YHWH had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
OLELO aku la o Davida ia Iehova i na huaolelo o keia mele, i ka la a Iehova i hoopakele ae ia ia mai ka lima aku o kona poe enemi a pau, a mai ka lima aku hoi o Saula.
2 And he said, YHWH is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
I aku la ia, O Iehova no kuu pohaku, kuu pakaua, a me kuu hoola;
3 The Elohim of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
O ke Akua o ko'u pohaku, e paulele aku au maluna ona; Oia ko'u palekaua, a me ka pepeiaohao o ko'u ola; Oia ko'u halekiai kiekie, o kuu puuhonua, a me kuu hoola; Ke hoola mai nei oe ia'u, i ke koloheia.
4 I will call on YHWH, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
E hea aku no wau ia Iehova, ka mea pono ke hoonaniia'ku: Pela no wau e hoopakeleia mai ai i ko'u poe enemi.
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of wicked men made me afraid;
Hoopuni mai la na ale o ka make ia'u, Hooweliweli mai la ka waikahe o ka poe aia ia'u;
Ua puni au i ko ka po mea e paa ai, A hoohei mai la ia'u na upena o ka make. (Sheol h7585)
7 In my distress I called upon YHWH, and cried to my Elohim: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
I ko'u popilikia, kahea aku la au ia Iehova. Uwe aku la hoi au i ko'u Akua; A lohe mai la kela i ko'u leo mai kona luakini mai, A komo aku la hoi ko'u kahea ana iloko o kona mau pepeiao.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
Alaila nauwe iho la ka honua me ka haalulu; Nee aku la na kumu o na lani, A nauwewe ae la hoi no kona inaina.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
Pukoa ae la ka uahi mailoko ae o kona mau pukaihu, Mai loko aku o kona waha i ai aku ai ke ahi: Ua kukuniia na lanahu e ia.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
Hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la, Malalo ae o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
Holo ae la kela maluna o kekahi keruba, a lele ae la no hoi ia; Ua ikea no hoi oia maluna o na eheu o ka makani.
12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
O ka pouli i puni mai ia ia, oia kana i hoolilo ai i wahi noho nona, O na wai akoakoa i na ao eleele o ka lani.
13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
Noloko o ka olinolino imua ona, ua kuniia na lanahu ahi.
14 YHWH thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
Hoohekili mai la o Iehova mai ka lani mai, A hoopoha mai la hoi ka Mea kiekie loa i kona leo.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
Pana mai la ia i na pua, a hoopuehu ia lakou, I na uila hoi a hooauhee aku la ia lakou.
16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of YHWH, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
Alaila ua ikea na kaha o ke kai, Ua hoikeia mai no hoi na kumu o ka honua, I ka papa ana mai o Iehova, I ka nou ana mai o ka hanu o kona mau puka ihu.
17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
Kii mai la oia mai luna mai, lalau mai la ia'u; Unuhi ae la hoi ia'u mailoko mai o na wai nui:
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
Hoopakele ae hoi oia ia'u i ko'u enemi ikaika, A me ka poe i inaina mai ia'u: No ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u.
19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but YHWH was my stay.
Haule mai la lakou maluna o'u i ko'u la popilikia, Aka, ua kokua mai o Iehova ia'u.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Lawe ae la hoi oia ia'u i kahi akea; Hoopakele ae la ia ia'u, no kona makemake mai ia'u.
21 YHWH rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Uku mai la o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono: Ua hoihoi mai oia ia'u e like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima.
22 For I have kept the ways of YHWH, and have not wickedly departed from my Elohim.
No ka mea, ua malama aku au i na aoao o Iehova, Aole hoi au i hele hewa aku mai ko'u Akua aku.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
Mamua hoi o'u kana mau olelo hoopono a pau; Aole hoi au i haalele aku i kana mau kauoha.
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
Ua kupono hoi au imua ona, A ua malama au ia'u iho i kuu hewa.
25 Therefore YHWH hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
Nolaila i uku mai ai o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono; E like me ko'u maemae ana imua o kona mau maka.
26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
I ka mea lokomaikai e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he lokomaikai; I ke kanaka hoopono e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he pono.
27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
I ka mea maemae e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he maemae; A i ka mea hookekee e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he oluolu ole.
28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
E hoola auanei oe i ka poe i hooluhiia; Aka, ke nana mai nei kou mau maka i ka poe hookiekie, e hoohaahaa iho ai.
29 For thou art my lamp, O YHWH: and YHWH will lighten my darkness.
No ka mea, o oe no ko'u kukui, e Iehova: A e hoomalamalama mai no o Iehova i ko'u pouli.
30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my Elohim have I leaped over a wall.
Ma ou la wau i wahi ae i ka poe kaua; Ma ko'u Akua wau i lehai aku ai maluna o ka pa pohaku.
31 As for El, his way is perfect; the word of YHWH is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
A o ke Akua, ua hemolele kona aoao; Ua maemae ka olelo a Iehova; He palekaua ia no ka poe a pau e paulele maluna ona.
32 For who is El, save YHWH? and who is a rock, save our Elohim?
Owai la ke Akua ke ole o Iehova? Owai hoi ka pohaku ke ole ko kakou Akua?
33 El is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
O ke Akua no ko'u ikaika a me ko'u mana; Ke hoopololei nei oia i ko'u alanui.
34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
Ke hoomama nei oia i ko'u mau wawae e like me na wawae dia; Me ka hoonoho ia'u ma ko'u mau wahi kiekie.
35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
Ke ao mai nei oia i kuu mau lima e kaua; I uhaiia'i e ko'u lima ke kakaka keleawe.
36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
Ua haawi mai hoi oe i kou paku e ola'i; A o kou ahonui ka i hoonui mai ia'u.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
Ua hooakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u: Aole hoi i pahee ko'u mau wawae.
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
Ua alualu aku au i ko'u poe enemi, A ua luku aku au ia lakou; Aole au i hoi mai a pau e lakou ia'u i ka make.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
Hoopau aku la au ia lakou, me ka pepehi iho; Aole i hiki ia lakou ke ku ae: Aia, ua hina lakou malalo iho o ko'u mau wawae.
40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
Ua kakoo mai oe ia'u i ka ikaika e kaua ai; Ua hookulou iho oe malalo o'u i ka poe i ku e mai ia'u.
41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
Ua haawi mai oe ia'u i na a-i o ko'u poe enemi, I luku aku ai au i ka poe inaina mai ia'u.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto YHWH, but he answered them not.
Leha ae lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole nae ia i hoolohe mai.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
Alaila pakuikui aku au ia lakou a okaoka me he lepo la o ka honua. A hehi iho la au ia lakou a like me ka nenelu o ke alanui; A hoopepe iho la au ia lakou.
44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
Ua hoopakele mai hoi oe ia'u i ka paio ana o ko'u poe kanaka, Ua malama mai oe ia'u i poo no na kanaka e: E hookauwa mai na'u ka lahuikanaka a'u i ike ole ai.
45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
E hoolohe mai no auanei ia'u na kanaka e, I ka lohe o ka pepeiao, e malama koke mai no lakou ia'u.
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
E mae aku no na kanaka e, E makau hoi lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
47 YHWH liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the Elohim of the rock of my salvation.
Ke ola nei o Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku; E hapaiia'ku hoi ke Akua o kuu pohaku e ola'i.
48 El who avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
O ke Akua ke hoopai aku no'u, Me ka hoolilo i na kanaka malalo iho o'u.
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
Oia ke hoopakele ia'u i ko'u poe enemi: Oia hoi ka i hookiekie ae ia'u maluna o ka poe i ku e mai ia'u; Ua hoola mai oe ia'u i ke kanaka hoino.
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O YHWH, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
Nolaila au e hoalohaloha aku ai ia oe, e Iehova, mawaena o na kanaka e. E mele hoomaikai aku au i kou inoa.
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
Oia ka halekiai no kana alii: Ua aloha mai ia i kana mea poni, Ia Davida me kana poe mamo, a mau loa aku.
