< Psalms 10 >

1 Why, YHWH, do You stand at a distance? Do You hide in times of adversity?
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 Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in schemes that they 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 Because the wicked has boasted Of the desire of his soul, And he has blessed a dishonest gainer, He has despised YHWH.
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 does not inquire according to the height of his face. “There is no God!” [are] all his schemes.
O ka mea hewa, aole ia e pule, no ka haaheo o kona maka; Aole ke Akua i kona manao a pau.
5 His ways writhe at all times, Your judgments [are] on high before him, All his adversaries—he puffs 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 has said in his heart, “I am not moved, [And am] not in calamity to generation and generation.”
Ua olelo oia iloko o kona naau, Aole loa au e hoonaueia; Aole au e popilikia ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku.
7 His mouth is full of oaths, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
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 sits in an ambush of the villages, He slays the innocent in secret places. His eyes secretly watch for the afflicted,
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 lies in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lies in wait to catch the poor, He catches the poor, drawing 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 is bruised—he bows down, The afflicted has fallen by his mighty ones.
Ua kolo iho la ia, ua hoohaahaa ia ia iho, I haule iho ka poe ilihune i kona mea ikaika.
11 He said in his heart, “God has forgotten, He has hid His face, He has never seen.”
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 YHWH! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble.
E ku mai oe, e Iehova; E hapai oe i kou lima, e ke Akua; Mai hoopoina mai i ka poe haahaa.
13 Why has the wicked despised God? He has said in his heart, “It is not required.”
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 You have seen, For You behold perverseness and anger; By giving into Your hand, The afflicted leave [it] on You, You have been a helper of the fatherless.
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 the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, 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 YHWH [is] King for all time and forever, The nations have 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 You have heard the desire of the humble, O YHWH. You prepare their heart; You cause Your ear to attend,
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 bruised: He adds no more to oppress—man of 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.
