Psalms 10
1 Wherefore, O Lord, standest thou afar off? hidest thyself in times of distress?
NO ke aha la oe e ku ai i kahi loihi aku, e Iehova? A e huna ai ia oe iho i ka manawa popilikia?
2 In the pride of the wicked doth he hotly pursue the poor: they are seized through the plans that those have devised.
O ka mea hewa, i kona hookano, Ua hoomaau mai oia i ka mea ilihune: E puni lakou i ka manao a lakou i noonoo ai.
3 For the wicked boasteth of the longing of his soul, and the robber blesseth himself when he hath despised the Lord.
No ka mea, ua hookelakela ka mea hewa i ka makemake o kona naau, A i ke ko ana, ua hoomaikai, a ua hoowahawaha aku ia Iehova.
4 The wicked, according to the pride of his wrathfulness, [saith, ] He will not require, There is no God [in] all his plans.
O ka mea hewa, aole ia e pule, no ka haaheo o kona maka; Aole ke Akua i kona manao a pau.
5 Prosperous are his ways at all times; far in the height [remain] thy punishments away from him: all his assailants—he puffeth at them.
Ua hewa mau kona mau aoao; O kau mau oihana, maluna lilo no ia aole ikea ia ia; A o kona mau enemi, ua puhi aku oia ia lakou.
6 He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; I shall be for many generations, and without adversity.
Ua olelo oia iloko o kona naau, Aole loa au e hoonaueia; Aole au e popilikia ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku.
7 Of the false oaths is his mouth full, and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
Ua piha kona waha i ke amuamu, ka wahahee, a me ka hoopunipuni; Malalo ae o kona alelo ke kolohe a me ka mea lapuwale.
8 He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes search for the unfortunate.
Ua noho ia ma kahi hoomakaakiu o na kauhale; A i kahi nalowale i pepehi wale ai ia i ka mea hala ole; Ua haka malu aku kona mau maka i ka mea ilihune.
9 He lieth in wait in a secret place like a lion in his den; he lieth in wait to snatch up the poor: he snatcheth up the poor, as they draweth him into his net.
Kali malu iho la ia me he liona la iloko o kona lua: Moemoe malu ia e hopu i ka mea ilihune: Ua hoohei no oia ia ia i kona alakai ana ia ia iloko o kana upena.
10 He croucheth, he bendeth himself, and the unfortunate fall through his might.
Ua kolo iho la ia, ua hoohaahaa ia ia iho, I haule iho ka poe ilihune i kona mea ikaika.
11 He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; he hath hidden his face; he will never see it.
Ua olelo iho la ia iloko o kona naau, Ua hoopoina ke Akua; Ua huna oia i kona maka, aole loa ia e ike mai.
12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.
E ku mai oe, e Iehova; E hapai oe i kou lima, e ke Akua; Mai hoopoina mai i ka poe haahaa.
13 For what doth the wicked despise God? [why] doth he say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it?
No ke aha la ka mea ino i hoowahawaha ai i ke Akua? Ua olelo no oia iloko o kona naau, Aole oe e hoopai mai.
14 Thou hast seen it: for thou beholdest mischief and despiteful acts, to requite it with thy hand: unto thee the unfortunate committeth himself; unto the fatherless hast thou [ever] been a helper.
Ua ike mai no oe, ua nana mai i ke kolohe a me ka huhu, I hoopai mai ia mea me kou lima; O ka mea ilihune ua waiho aku oia ia ia iho ia oe; O oe no ka mea nana ka mea makua ole i kokua mai.
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked; and of the bad man—thou wilt inquire for his wickedness [till] thou find none.
E uhai oe i ka lima o ke kanaka hewa ke kolohe; E hoopai i kona hewa a pau ia i ka nalo ia oe.
16 The Lord is King for ever and ever: nations are perished out of his land.
O Iehova, oia ke Alii mau loa: Ua make aku ko na aina e mailoko aku o kona aina.
17 The longing of the afflicted dost thou hear, O Lord! thou wilt strengthen their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to listen:
E Iehova, ua lohe oe i ka makemake o ka poe haahaa: E hoomakaukau ana oe i ko lakou naau, E hoolohe mai ana no kou pepeiao;
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that not farther more shall be arrogant the mortal from the earth.
E hoopono mai i ka mea makua ole a me ka mea i hooluhihewaia, I hooluhihewa hou ole mai ke kauaka o ka honua.
