Psalms 78
1 [A contemplation by Asaph.] Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears 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 my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings since the beginning of the world,
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 known, and our fathers have told 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 hide them from their descendants, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, his strength, and his wondrous works that he has 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 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a teaching 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 that the generation to come might know it, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell 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 might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep 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 might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with 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 people of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in 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 They did not keep God's covenant, and refused to walk by his Law.
Aole lakou i malama i ka berita o ke Akua, A hoole lakou i ka hele ma kona kanawai:
11 They forgot his doings, his wondrous works that he had shown them.
Poina ia lakou kana mau hana. Na mea kupanaha hoi ana i hoike mai ai.
12 He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
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 split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.
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 In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all 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 abundantly as out of the depths.
Wahi ae la oia i na pohaku ma ka waonahele, Hoohainu mai oia, e like me na ale nui.
16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters 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 Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel 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 They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to 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 Yes, they spoke against God. They said, "Can God prepare 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 Look, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will 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 the LORD heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up 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 did not believe in God, and did not trust in his salvation.
No ka mea, aole lakou i manaoio i ke Akua; Aole hoi i paulele i kona kokua ana.
23 Yet he commanded the clouds above, and opened the doors of heaven.
Ua kauoha nae oia i na ao, mailuna mai, A ua wahi no hoi i puka ma ka lani,
24 He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them bread from heaven.
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 Man ate the bread of the mighty ones. He sent them food to the full.
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 the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided 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 He rained also flesh on them as the dust; winged birds as the sand of the seas.
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 He let it fall in the midst of his camp, all around his tent.
Hoohaule iho la oia ia mea ma ke kahua hoomoana, A puni hoi ko lakou wahi i noho ai.
29 So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.
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 did not turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,
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 anger of God went up against them, killed some of the fattest of them, and struck down the young men of Israel.
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 For all this they still sinned, and did not believe in his wondrous works.
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 consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
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 killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.
Ina luku oia ia lakou, alaila, nonoi aku lakou ia ia, Huli ae la no hoi, a imi i ke Akua.
35 They remembered that God was their rock, 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 But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
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 right with him, neither were they 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 iniquity, and did not destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
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 He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn't come again.
No ka mea, hoomanao oia, he palupalu lakou, He ea hele wale aku, aole hoi mai.
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved 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 They turned again and tempted God, and gave pain 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 did not remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
Aole lakou i hoomanao i kona lima, I ka la ana i hoopakele ai ia lakou i ka pilikia,
43 how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan,
I ka manawa ana i kau ai i kona mau hoailona ma Aigupita, A me kana hana kupanaha ma ke kula o Zoana:
44 he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
Hoolilo oia i ko lakou muliwai i koko, A me na kahawai hoi, a hiki ole ia lakou ke inu.
45 He sent among them swarms of flies, 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 He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to 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 destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.
Pepehi mai la oia i ka lakou kumuwaina i ka huahekili, A me ka lakou sukamora i ka hau.
48 He gave over their livestock also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
Hoolilo ae la oia i na bipi a lakou i ka huahekili, A me na holoholona a lakou i ka uila.
49 He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of destroying angels.
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 made a path for his anger. He did not spare their soul from death, but gave their life over 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 struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief 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 led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
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 He led them safely, so that they weren't afraid, but the sea overwhelmed 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 He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.
Hoohele oia ia lakou i kona aina hoano, I keia mauna hoi a kona lima akau i hookumu ai.
55 He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
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 did not keep his testimonies;
Aka, hoao lakou i ke Akua kiekie, a kipi aku la, Aole hoi i malama i kana mau kauoha:
57 but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside 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 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.
Hoonaukiuki lakou ia ia i ko lakou wahi kiekie, A hoolili no hoi ia ia i ko lakou poe kii kalaiia.
59 When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel;
A lohe ke Akua alaila, huhu mai la ia, A hoopailua loa no hoi i ka Iseraela.
60 So that he forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he 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 delivered his strength into captivity, 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 He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
Hoolilo no oia i kona poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A huhu mai la i kona hooilina.
63 Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.
Hoopau no ke ahi i kona poe kanaka ui; Aole nae i kanikau na wahine puupaa.
64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn't weep.
Haule no hoi kona poe kahuna i ka pahikaua; Aole nae i kanikau kona poe wahiue kanemake.
65 Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts 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 He struck his adversaries backward. He made them a permanent shame.
Alaila, pehi ae la oia i kona poe enemi ma ko lakou hope; Haawi no ia i hilahila mau loa lakou.
67 Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
Hoowahawaha oia i ka halelewa o Iosepa, Aole hoi i wae i ka ohana o Eperaima:
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, 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 He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.
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 He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;
Wae mai la oia ia Davida i kana kauwa, A lawe ae la ia ia, mai na pahipa ae:
71 from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob his servant, 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 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
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.
