Psalms 55
1 [For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David.] Listen to my prayer, God. Do not hide yourself from my petition.
E HALIU mai i ka pepeiao i ka'u pule, e ke Akua, Mai hoonalo ia oe iho mai ka'u nonoi ana aku.
2 Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
E nana mai ia'u a e hoolohe mai ia'u; Ke u nei au i ko'u manao ana, me ka auwe;
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
No ka leo o ka enemi, No ka hooluhi hewa ana mai o ka mea hewa: No ka mea, ua hooili mai lakou i ka hewa maluna o'u, A i ka ukiuki ua inaina mai lakou ia'u.
4 My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
Ua ehaeha loa ko'u naau iloko o'u; A ua haule mai ko ka make mau mea weliweli maluna o'u.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
Ua kau mai maluna o'u ka makau a me ka haalulu; Ua popoiia mai au e ka weliweli.
6 I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove. Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
A olelo iho la au, Owai ka mea e haawi ia'u i mau eheu me he manu nunu la? E lele aku au i kahi e, a e hoomaha iho.
7 Look, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness." (Selah)
Aia hoi e hele kaawale loa aku au, A e noho ma ka waonahele. (Sila)
8 "I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm."
Alaila e hoolalelale au i kuu pakele ana, I ka makani nui o ka ino.
9 Confuse them, LORD, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
E hookae, e Iehova, a hoomokuahana i ka lakou mau alelo: No ka mea, ua ike au i ka hooluhi wale a me ka hakaka ana malok'o o ke kulanakauhale.
10 Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
I ke ao, a me ka po, i holoholo ai lakou maluna o kona mau pa; He kolohe, a he pioloke ka iwaena konu ona.
11 Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies do not depart from her streets.
Iwaena konu ona ka hana hewa ana; Aole haalele ka hoopunipuni a me ka wahahee i kona mau alanui.
12 For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
No ka mea, aole he enemi, ka i hoino mai ia'u; Ina pela hiki no ia'u ke hoomanawanui: Aole ka mea inaina mai ia'u ka i hookiekie ku e mai ia'u; Ilaila i pee aku ai au mai ona aku la:
13 But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
Aka, o oe no ia, he kanaka e ku like ana me au, Ka'u punahele, a o ko'u hoalauna hoi.
14 We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with company.
Ua kamailio oluolu pu kaua, A ua hele pu i ka hale o ke Akua me ka lehulehu.
15 Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
E lalau mai ka make ia lakou, E iho koke lakou ilalo i ka malu o ka make; No ka mea, he hewa ko loko o ko lakou mau hale, a iwaena o lakou. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I will call on God. The LORD will save me.
Aka, owau nei la, e kahea aku au i ke Akua; A e hoola mai no o Iehova ia'u.
17 Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
I ke ahiahi, i ke kakahiaka, i ke awakea, e pule aku ai au, A e kahea nui aku au; a e hoolohe mai oia i ko'u leo.
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.
Me ka maluhia e hoopakele oia i ko'u uhane i ke kaua mai ia'u; No ka mea, ua nui ka poe me au.
19 God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and humble them. (Selah) They never change, who do not fear God.
E hoolohe mai no ke Akua, a e hoohaahaa ia lakou, O ka mea mai kahiko mai. (Sila) No ka mea, aohe o lakou luli ana; Nolaila, aole o lakou makau i ke Akua.
20 He has stretched out his hand against those who were at peace with him. He has violated his covenant.
Ua kikoo oia i kona lima i ka mea e kuikahi ana me ia; Ua uhai oia i kana berita.
21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
Ua oi aku ka pahee o kana mau olelo mamua o ko ka bata, Aka, he kaua ko loko o kona naau: Ua oi aku ka oluolu o kana mau olelo i ko ka aila; Aka, he mau pahikaua unuhiia lakou.
22 Throw your burden upon the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will never allow the righteous to be upended.
E waiho aku i kau mea kaumaha maluna o Iehova, A e Kokua mai oia ia oe: Aole loa ia e waiho mai i ka mea pono e hoonauweia.
23 But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
Aka, e ke Akua, e hoohaahaa iho oe ia lakou i ka lua o ka make: O na kanaka koko a me ka hoopunipuni, aole lakou e ola a pau ka hapalua o ko lakou mau la; Aka, e hilinai aku au ia oe.
