Psalms 78
1 “A Maskil of Assaph.” Give ear, O my people, to my instruction: incline thy ear to the words of my mouth.
E NA kanaka o'u, e hoolohe mai oukou i ko'u kanawai; E haliu mai hoi i ko oukou pepeiao i na olelo a ko'u waha.
2 I will open with a parable my mouth: I will utter riddles out of ancient times;
E hooaka ae au i kuu waha ma na himeni, A e hai aku hoi i na mele kahiko;
3 Which we have heard and know, and which our fathers have related unto us.
I na mea a kakou i lohe ai, a i ike ai hoi, A ua hai mai no ko kakou poe makua ia kakou.
4 We will not conceal them from their children, relating to the latest generation the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful deeds which he hath done.
Aole kakou e huna, mai ka lakou poe keiki, A hiki aku i ka hanauna hope loa, I ka hoike ana aku i na halelu no Iehova, A me kona ikaika, a me na mea kupanaha ana i hana'i.
5 Yea, he established a testimony in Jacob, and instituted a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
Hoopaa oia i mea hoike no ka Iakoba, A kau no hoi oia i kanawai no ka Iseraela, A kauoha mai la i na kupuna o kakou, E ao ae lakou ia mea i ka lakou poe keiki:
6 In order that the latest generation might know them, even the children that are to be born; that they may arise and relate them to their children;
I ike ka hanauna hope loa aku, E ku mai hoi na keiki i hanau mai a hoike i ka lakou mau keiki;
7 That they may place in God their hope, and not forget the doings of God, but observe his commandments;
I kau aku ko lakou manaolana i ke Akua, Aole hoi e poina na hana a ke Akua, Aka, e malama i kana mau kauoha:
8 And that they may not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that had not directed their heart firmly, and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
I like ole lakou me ko lakou poe kupuna, He hanauna ku e, a kipi hoi; He hanauna hooponopono ole i ko lakou naau, A hilinai ole hoi ko lakou naau i ke Akua.
9 The children of Ephraim, like well-armed archers, that turn round on the day of battle,
O na mamo a Eperaima i kahikoia i ke kakaka, Huli hope no lakou i ka la i kaua'i.
10 Kept not the covenant of God, and in his law they refused to walk;
Aole lakou i malama i ka berita o ke Akua, A hoole lakou i ka hele ma kona kanawai:
11 And they forgot his deeds, as also his wonders, which he had permitted them to see.
Poina ia lakou kana mau hana. Na mea kupanaha hoi ana i hoike mai ai.
12 In the presence of their fathers did he do wonders, in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zo'an.
Hana iho la no oia i na mea kupanaha imua o ko lakou poe makua, Ma ka aina o Aigupita, ma ke kula hoi o Zoana.
13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters stand upright as a wall.
Mahele ae la oia i ke kai, a alakai mai la ia lakou; Hooku ae la oia i na wai me he puu la.
14 And he led them with the cloud by day, and all the night with a light of fire.
Ma ke ao oia i alakai mai ai ia lakou i ke ao, Ma ka malamalama o ke ahi hoi i na po a pau.
15 He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the mighty deep.
Wahi ae la oia i na pohaku ma ka waonahele, Hoohainu mai oia, e like me na ale nui.
16 And he brought forth running streams out of the rock, and caused water to run down like rivers.
Hoopuka ae la oia i na wai kahe mailoko mai o ka pohaku, A kahe mai la na wai e like me na muliwai.
17 But they repeated to sin yet more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
Hana hewa hou aku la lakou ia ia, I ke ku e ana i ka Mea kiekie ma ka waoakua.
18 And they tempted God in their heart, by asking food for their desire.
Hoao aku la lakou i ke Akua ma ko lakou naau, I ka nonoi ana i ai, no ko lakou kuko iho.
19 Yea, they spoke against God: they said, Will God be able to set in order a table in the wilderness?
Hoowahawaha aku la lakou i ke Akua, i iho la, E hiki anei i ke Akua ke halii i papaaina ma ka waonahele?
20 Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed: shall he also be able to give bread? or can he provide flesh for his people?
Aia hoi! hahau ae la oia i ka pohaku, a kahe iho la na wai, A huliamahi mai la na wai kahe; E hiki anei ia ia ke haawi mai i ka ai? A e hoomakaukau hoi i ia no kona poe kanaka?
21 Therefore, when the Lord heard this, he became wroth: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also ascended against Israel,
Nolaila, lohe mai la o Iehova a huhu iho la; A hoaia ke ahi maloko o ka Iakoba, A pii ae la ka huhu maluna o ka Iseraela:
22 Because they had not believed in God, and had not trusted in his salvation.
No ka mea, aole lakou i manaoio i ke Akua; Aole hoi i paulele i kona kokua ana.
23 Then he ordained the skies from above, and the doors of heaven he opened;
Ua kauoha nae oia i na ao, mailuna mai, A ua wahi no hoi i puka ma ka lani,
24 And he let rain down upon them manna to eat, and the corn of heaven gave he unto them.
A ua hooua mai oia maluna o lakou, i mane e ai ai, A ua haawi mai i ka hua palaoa o ka lani na lakou.
25 Angels' bread did man eat: he sent them provision to satisfaction.
Ai iho la na kanaka i ka ai a ka poe kiekie: Hoouka mai la oia i io na lakou a nui.
26 He caused an east wind to pass along the heavens; and he led forth by his strength the south wind.
Hoopa mai la oia i ko ka hikina makani ma ka lani: A i kona ikaika, kai mai la oia i ka makani o ke kukuluhema.
27 And he let rain upon them flesh [as plentiful] as the dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea;
A hooua mai oia i ka io maluna o lakou me he lepo la, A me na manu hulu, e like me ke one o ke kai.
28 And he let them fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
Hoohaule iho la oia ia mea ma ke kahua hoomoana, A puni hoi ko lakou wahi i noho ai.
29 And they ate, and were greatly satisfied, and what they longed for he brought unto them.
A ai iho la lakou, a maona loa ae la: Hoopuka mai no oia na lakou i ka mea a lakou i kuko ai.
30 They were not estranged from their longing, yet was their food in their mouth:
Aole nae lakou i huli, mai ko lakou kuko ana; I ka wa e waiho ana ka ai i ko lakou waha,
31 When the wrath of God ascended against them, and he slew some of the fattest of them, and the young men of Israel did he strike down.
Kau mai la ka huhu o ke Akua maluna o lakou, A luku iho la oia i ko lakou poe ikaika; A hookulou no hoi i ka poe i waeia o ka Iseraela.
32 With all this they sinned again, and believed not in his wonders.
Aka, ma ia mau mea a pau, hana hewa hou iho la no lakou, Aole i manaoio i kana mau hana kupanaha.
33 Therefore he caused their days to come to an end in nought, and their years in dread.
Nolaila, haawi oia i ka noho makehewa ana i ko lakou mau la, A me ka wiwo wale, i ko lakou mau makahiki.
34 When he slew them, then did they seek him, and they returned and inquired earnestly after God.
Ina luku oia ia lakou, alaila, nonoi aku lakou ia ia, Huli ae la no hoi, a imi i ke Akua.
35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the most high God their redeemer.
Hoomanao iho la lakou, o ke Akua ko lakou Pohaku, A o ke Akua kiekie hoi ko lakou Hoolapanai.
36 Nevertheless they prayed insincerely to him with their mouth, and with their tongue they lied unto him.
Aka, hoomalimali aku lakou ia ia ma ko lakou waha A wahahee aku no hoi ia ia ma ko lakou alelo.
37 For their heart was not firm with him, and they were not faithful in his covenant.
Aole i kupaa ko lakou naau ma ke Akua, Aole hoi i hilinai i kona berita.
38 But he, being merciful, forgave the iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not awaken all his fury.
Lokomaikai mai no nae oia, a kala mai i ka hala, Aole i anai mai ia lakou: Hoohuli pinepine aku oia i kona huhu, Aole i hoala i kona inaina a pau.
39 And he remembered that they are but flesh, a spirit that passeth away, and returneth not again.
No ka mea, hoomanao oia, he palupalu lakou, He ea hele wale aku, aole hoi mai.
40 How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, grieve him in the desert!
Me he aha la la ko lakou kipikipi ana ia ia ma ka waonahele? A hoonaukiuki ia ia ma ka waoakua?
41 Yea, they once more tempted God, and set limits to the Holy One of Israel.
A huli ihope lakou a hoao i ke Akua, Hoehaeha no hoi i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
42 They remembered not his hand, the day when he ransomed them from the adversary;
Aole lakou i hoomanao i kona lima, I ka la ana i hoopakele ai ia lakou i ka pilikia,
43 When he displayed in Egypt his signs, and his wonderful tokens in the fields of Zo'an.
I ka manawa ana i kau ai i kona mau hoailona ma Aigupita, A me kana hana kupanaha ma ke kula o Zoana:
44 And he changed their rivers into blood; and their running streams, that they could not drink [of them].
Hoolilo oia i ko lakou muliwai i koko, A me na kahawai hoi, a hiki ole ia lakou ke inu.
45 He sent out among them various wild beasts, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
Hoouka ae la oia i ka makika maluna o lakou, A nahu iho la oia ia lakou; A me na rana hoi, a hooki loa oia mau mea ia lakou.
46 And he gave unto the cricket their products, and their labor unto the locust.
Haawi ae la oia i ka lakou ai na ke poko, A me ka mea a lakou i hooikaika'i na ka uhini.
47 He slew with hail their vines, and their sycamore-trees with ice-bolts.
Pepehi mai la oia i ka lakou kumuwaina i ka huahekili, A me ka lakou sukamora i ka hau.
48 And he surrendered to the hail their cattle, and their herds to the lightning's flashes.
Hoolilo ae la oia i na bipi a lakou i ka huahekili, A me na holoholona a lakou i ka uila.
49 He let loose against them the fierceness of his anger, wrath and indignation, and distress, a host of angels of misfortune.
Hoouka ae la oia maluna o lakou, i ka wela o kona huhu, A me ka ukiuki, a me ka inaina, a me ka popilikia, A hoouna mai no hoi i na elele ino.
50 He leveled a path for his anger; he withheld not from death their soul, and their life he surrendered to the pestilence;
Hoomakaukau iho la oia i ke ala no kona huhu, Aole ia i kaohi i ko lakou uhane mai ka make mai; Aka, haawi no oia i ko lakou ola i ka mai ahulan;
51 And he smote all the first-born in Egypt; the first of their strength in the tents of Ham;
A pepehi no hoi i na hiapo a pau o Aigupita, O na poo ikaika ma na halelewa o Hama.
52 But he caused his own people to depart like flocks, and guided them like a drove in the wilderness.
Kai mai la oia i kona poe kanaka me he poe hipa la, A alakai no hoi ia lakou ma ka waonahele me he ohana la.
53 And he led them in safety, so that they felt no dread; but the sea covered over their enemies.
Alakai oia ia lakou i ka malu, i ole ai lakou e makau: Aka, poi mai ke kai maluna o ko lakou poe enemi.
54 And he brought them to his holy territory, even to this mount, which his right hand had acquired.
Hoohele oia ia lakou i kona aina hoano, I keia mauna hoi a kona lima akau i hookumu ai.
55 And he drove out from before them nations, and divided them by the measuring-line as an inheritance, and he caused to dwell in their tents the tribes of Israel.
Kipaku aku la oia i ko na aina e, mai ko lakou alo aku, Mahele ae la oia ma ke kaula-ana i ka ilina no lakou, A hoonoho iho la i na ohana o ka Iseraela iloko o ko lakou mau halelewa.
56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the most high God, and his testimonies they kept not;
Aka, hoao lakou i ke Akua kiekie, a kipi aku la, Aole hoi i malama i kana mau kauoha:
57 But swerved aside, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers; they turned about like a deceitful bow.
Huli hope lakou, a hoopunipuni e like me na makua o lakou; Ua huli lakou ihope, e like me ke kakaka lauwili.
58 And they provoked him to anger with their high-places, and with their graven images they moved him to jealousy.
Hoonaukiuki lakou ia ia i ko lakou wahi kiekie, A hoolili no hoi ia ia i ko lakou poe kii kalaiia.
59 God heard this, and he became wroth, and felt greatly disgusted with Israel;
A lohe ke Akua alaila, huhu mai la ia, A hoopailua loa no hoi i ka Iseraela.
60 And he cast off the dwelling at Shiloh, the tabernacle where he had dwelt among men;
Nolaila, haalele iho la oia i ka halelewa o Silo, I ka halelole hoi kahi ana i noho ai iwaena o na kanaka,
61 And he gave up his strength unto captivity, and his glory into the adversary's hand.
A haawi no hoi i kona mea hanohano i ke pio ana, A me kona mea nani iloko o ka lima o ka enemi.
62 And he surrendered his people unto the sword; and with his inheritance was he wroth.
Hoolilo no oia i kona poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A huhu mai la i kona hooilina.
63 His young men the fire devoured; and his virgins were not demanded in marriage.
Hoopau no ke ahi i kona poe kanaka ui; Aole nae i kanikau na wahine puupaa.
64 His priests fell by the sword; and his widows did not weep.
Haule no hoi kona poe kahuna i ka pahikaua; Aole nae i kanikau kona poe wahiue kanemake.
65 Then awoke the Lord as one that sleepeth, like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
Alaila ala ae la ka Haku me he mea la mai kona hiamoe ana, Me he kanaka ikaika la hoi i ona i ka waina.
66 And he smote his enemies backward: a perpetual disgrace on them.
Alaila, pehi ae la oia i kona poe enemi ma ko lakou hope; Haawi no ia i hilahila mau loa lakou.
67 Yet was he disgusted with the tent of Joseph, and of the tribe of Ephraim he made not choice;
Hoowahawaha oia i ka halelewa o Iosepa, Aole hoi i wae i ka ohana o Eperaima:
68 But he chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
Aka, wae no ia i ka ohana o Iuda, I ka mauna hoi o Ziona ana i aloha'i.
69 And he built like high [mountains] his sanctuary, like the earth which he hath founded for ever.
Hana oia i kona wahi hoano e like me na wahi kiekie, E like hoi me ka honua ana i hookumu mau loa'i.
70 And he made choice of David his servant, and took him from the sheep-folds:
Wae mai la oia ia Davida i kana kauwa, A lawe ae la ia ia, mai na pahipa ae:
71 From following the ewes with young he brought him, to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
Mai ka hahai ana i na hipa mea keiki, ua lawe oia ia ia, E hanai i ka Iakoba, i na kanaka ona, I ka Iseraela hoi, i kona hooilina.
72 And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and by the skilfulness of his hands did he lead them.
Hanai mai la oia ia lakou e like me ka pono o kona naau; A alakai ae la ia lakou ma ke akamai o kona mau lima.
