Psalms 11

1 [For the Chief Musician. By David.] In Jehovah, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain."

KE hilinai aku nei au ia Iehova; Pehea oukou e i mai ai i ko'u uhane, E lele i ko oukou mauna me he manu la?

2 For, look, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

Aia hoi ka poe hewa ke lena la i ka lakou kakaka, Ke hoomakaukau la i ka lakou pua ma ke kaula, E pana malu aku lakou i ka poe naau kupono.

3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

Ina e hoohioloia na kumu, Heaha la hoi ka ka mea pono e hana'i?

4 Jehovah is in his holy temple. Jehovah is on his throne in heaven. His eyes look upon the poor. His eyes examine the descendants of Adam.

Ina no o Iehova iloko o kona luakini hoano; Ina no o ka nohoalii o Iehova maluna o ka lani: Ke nana mai la kona mau maka; Ke hoao mai la kona mau lihilihi i na keiki a kanaka.

5 Jehovah examines the righteous, but the wicked and the one who loves violence his soul hates.

Ke hoao la o Iehova i ka mea pono, Aka, ke inaina la kona Uhane i ka mea hewa, A me ka mea i makemake i ke kolohe.

6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

Maluna iho o ka poe hewa oia e hooua mai ai i na kaula uila, A me ke ahi, ka luaipele, a me ka ino huhu: Oia ka piha o ko lakou kiaha.

7 For Jehovah is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.

No ka mea, ke aloha mai la ka Haku pono i ka pono; Ke haliu mai la kona maka i ka mea pololei.
