Psalms 34
1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth.
E HOOMAIKAI aku au ia Iehova i na manawa a pau; E mau ana i kuu waha ka hoolea nona.
2 My soul shall boast herself in the Lord: let the meek hear, and rejoice.
E hauoli kuu uhane ia Iehova; E lohe mai ka poe hoohaahaa a e olioli no hoi.
3 Magnify you the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
E hoonui hoi oukou ia Iehova me au nei, A e hapai pu kakou i kona inoa.
4 I sought the Lord diligently, and he listened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings.
Ua imi aku au ia Iehova a ua hoolohe mai ia ia'u; Ua hoopakele mai oia ia'u i ka'u mau mea e makau ai a pau.
5 Draw near to him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not [by any means] be ashamed.
Nana aku la lakou ia ia a malamalama iho la lakou; Aole hilahila ko lakou mau maka.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord listened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions.
Kahea aku la keia kanaka ilihune, A hoolohe mai la o Iehova ia ia, A hoopakele oia i kona popilikia a pau.
7 The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear him, and will deliver them.
Hoomoana mai ka anela o Iehova a puni ka poe weliweli ia ia, A ua hoopakele hoi ia lakou.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him.
E hoao oukou a e ike hoi he maikai no Iehova; Pomaikai ke kanaka i paulele ia ia.
9 Fear the Lord, all you his saints: for there is no lack to them that fear him.
E weliweli aku ia Iehova, e ka poe haipule a pau; No ka mea, aole e nele ka poe weliweli ia ia.
10 The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek the Lord diligently shall not lack any good thing. (Pause)
Ua nele a ua pololi na liona opiopio; Aka, o ka poe imi ia Iehova, aole e nele i ka mea maikai.
11 Come, you children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
E hele mai, e na kamalii, e hoolohe mai ia'u; A e ao aku au ia oukou i ka weliweli ia Iehova:
12 What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?
Owai ke kanaka i makemake i ke ola, I makemake hoi i na la he nui i ike ai oia i ka maikai?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.
E kaohi i kou alelo mai ka hewa, A me kou mau lehelehe i ole e olelo ino.
14 Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
E haalele i ka hewa a e haua ma ka pono; E imi i ka maluhia, a malaila e hahai ai.
15 The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their prayer:
Kau pono na maka o Iehova i ka poe pono, A me kona mau pepeiao i ko lakou kahea ana.
16 but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord listened to them,
Ku e ka maka o Iehova i ka poe hewa, E hoonalo loa ia lakou mai ka honua aku.
17 and delivered them out of all their afflictions.
Kahea na mea pono, a hoolohe mai no hoi o Iehova; A hoakea mai no oia ia lakou i ko lakou popilikia a pau.
18 The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.
Kokoke mai no o Iehova i ka poe naau palupalu; A hoola no hoi oia i na mea uhane mihi.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Lord will deliver them.
He nui no ka pilikia ana o ka mea pono: A hoakea mai no hoi o Iehova ia ia, mai ia mea a pau.
20 He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.
Malama no hoi oia i kona mau iwi, Aohe mea o lakou i haki.
21 The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.
E hoomake no ka hewa i ke kanaka aia; A e hoopaiia ka poe inaina i ka poe pono.
22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.
Hoola o Iehova i ka uhane o kana poe kauwa: Aohe mea paulele ia ia o lilo i ka hoopaiia.
