2 Samuel 22
1 David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
OLELO aku la o Davida ia Iehova i na huaolelo o keia mele, i ka la a Iehova i hoopakele ae ia ia mai ka lima aku o kona poe enemi a pau, a mai ka lima aku hoi o Saula.
2 and he said, "The LORD is my Rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.
I aku la ia, O Iehova no kuu pohaku, kuu pakaua, a me kuu hoola;
3 My God, my Rock, in him I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; from violent people he saves me.
O ke Akua o ko'u pohaku, e paulele aku au maluna ona; Oia ko'u palekaua, a me ka pepeiaohao o ko'u ola; Oia ko'u halekiai kiekie, o kuu puuhonua, a me kuu hoola; Ke hoola mai nei oe ia'u, i ke koloheia.
4 I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
E hea aku no wau ia Iehova, ka mea pono ke hoonaniia'ku: Pela no wau e hoopakeleia mai ai i ko'u poe enemi.
5 For the waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
Hoopuni mai la na ale o ka make ia'u, Hooweliweli mai la ka waikahe o ka poe aia ia'u;
Ua puni au i ko ka po mea e paa ai, A hoohei mai la ia'u na upena o ka make. (Sheol h7585)
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and I cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came into his ears.
I ko'u popilikia, kahea aku la au ia Iehova. Uwe aku la hoi au i ko'u Akua; A lohe mai la kela i ko'u leo mai kona luakini mai, A komo aku la hoi ko'u kahea ana iloko o kona mau pepeiao.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
Alaila nauwe iho la ka honua me ka haalulu; Nee aku la na kumu o na lani, A nauwewe ae la hoi no kona inaina.
9 Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
Pukoa ae la ka uahi mailoko ae o kona mau pukaihu, Mai loko aku o kona waha i ai aku ai ke ahi: Ua kukuniia na lanahu e ia.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
Hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la, Malalo ae o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
11 He rode on a cherub, and flew; and he glided on the wings of the wind.
Holo ae la kela maluna o kekahi keruba, a lele ae la no hoi ia; Ua ikea no hoi oia maluna o na eheu o ka makani.
12 He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
O ka pouli i puni mai ia ia, oia kana i hoolilo ai i wahi noho nona, O na wai akoakoa i na ao eleele o ka lani.
13 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.
Noloko o ka olinolino imua ona, ua kuniia na lanahu ahi.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.
Hoohekili mai la o Iehova mai ka lani mai, A hoopoha mai la hoi ka Mea kiekie loa i kona leo.
15 And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.
Pana mai la ia i na pua, a hoopuehu ia lakou, I na uila hoi a hooauhee aku la ia lakou.
16 Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
Alaila ua ikea na kaha o ke kai, Ua hoikeia mai no hoi na kumu o ka honua, I ka papa ana mai o Iehova, I ka nou ana mai o ka hanu o kona mau puka ihu.
17 He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
Kii mai la oia mai luna mai, lalau mai la ia'u; Unuhi ae la hoi ia'u mailoko mai o na wai nui:
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Hoopakele ae hoi oia ia'u i ko'u enemi ikaika, A me ka poe i inaina mai ia'u: No ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u.
19 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
Haule mai la lakou maluna o'u i ko'u la popilikia, Aka, ua kokua mai o Iehova ia'u.
20 He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Lawe ae la hoi oia ia'u i kahi akea; Hoopakele ae la ia ia'u, no kona makemake mai ia'u.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
Uku mai la o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono: Ua hoihoi mai oia ia'u e like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
No ka mea, ua malama aku au i na aoao o Iehova, Aole hoi au i hele hewa aku mai ko'u Akua aku.
23 For all his ordinances were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me.
Mamua hoi o'u kana mau olelo hoopono a pau; Aole hoi au i haalele aku i kana mau kauoha.
24 I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
Ua kupono hoi au imua ona, A ua malama au ia'u iho i kuu hewa.
25 Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
Nolaila i uku mai ai o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono; E like me ko'u maemae ana imua o kona mau maka.
26 With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
I ka mea lokomaikai e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he lokomaikai; I ke kanaka hoopono e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he pono.
27 With the pure you show yourself pure. And with the crooked you show yourself tortuous.
I ka mea maemae e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he maemae; A i ka mea hookekee e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he oluolu ole.
28 You save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
E hoola auanei oe i ka poe i hooluhiia; Aka, ke nana mai nei kou mau maka i ka poe hookiekie, e hoohaahaa iho ai.
29 For you light my lamp. The LORD my God lights up my darkness.
No ka mea, o oe no ko'u kukui, e Iehova: A e hoomalamalama mai no o Iehova i ko'u pouli.
30 For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
Ma ou la wau i wahi ae i ka poe kaua; Ma ko'u Akua wau i lehai aku ai maluna o ka pa pohaku.
31 As for God, his way is perfect. The word of the LORD is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
A o ke Akua, ua hemolele kona aoao; Ua maemae ka olelo a Iehova; He palekaua ia no ka poe a pau e paulele maluna ona.
32 For who is God, besides the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,
Owai la ke Akua ke ole o Iehova? Owai hoi ka pohaku ke ole ko kakou Akua?
33 the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
O ke Akua no ko'u ikaika a me ko'u mana; Ke hoopololei nei oia i ko'u alanui.
34 He makes my feet like those of a deer, and sets me on my high places.
Ke hoomama nei oia i ko'u mau wawae e like me na wawae dia; Me ka hoonoho ia'u ma ko'u mau wahi kiekie.
35 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
Ke ao mai nei oia i kuu mau lima e kaua; I uhaiia'i e ko'u lima ke kakaka keleawe.
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made me great.
Ua haawi mai hoi oe i kou paku e ola'i; A o kou ahonui ka i hoonui mai ia'u.
37 You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.
Ua hooakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u: Aole hoi i pahee ko'u mau wawae.
38 I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
Ua alualu aku au i ko'u poe enemi, A ua luku aku au ia lakou; Aole au i hoi mai a pau e lakou ia'u i ka make.
39 And I consumed them, and struck them through, so that they did not rise. And they fell beneath my feet.
Hoopau aku la au ia lakou, me ka pepehi iho; Aole i hiki ia lakou ke ku ae: Aia, ua hina lakou malalo iho o ko'u mau wawae.
40 For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Ua kakoo mai oe ia'u i ka ikaika e kaua ai; Ua hookulou iho oe malalo o'u i ka poe i ku e mai ia'u.
41 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
Ua haawi mai oe ia'u i na a-i o ko'u poe enemi, I luku aku ai au i ka poe inaina mai ia'u.
42 They cry out, but there was none to save; even to the LORD, but he did not answer them.
Leha ae lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole nae ia i hoolohe mai.
43 Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
Alaila pakuikui aku au ia lakou a okaoka me he lepo la o ka honua. A hehi iho la au ia lakou a like me ka nenelu o ke alanui; A hoopepe iho la au ia lakou.
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.
Ua hoopakele mai hoi oe ia'u i ka paio ana o ko'u poe kanaka, Ua malama mai oe ia'u i poo no na kanaka e: E hookauwa mai na'u ka lahuikanaka a'u i ike ole ai.
45 As soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
E hoolohe mai no auanei ia'u na kanaka e, I ka lohe o ka pepeiao, e malama koke mai no lakou ia'u.
46 they are not bound in chains.
E mae aku no na kanaka e, E makau hoi lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
47 The LORD lives. Blessed be my rock. Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
Ke ola nei o Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku; E hapaiia'ku hoi ke Akua o kuu pohaku e ola'i.
48 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me,
O ke Akua ke hoopai aku no'u, Me ka hoolilo i na kanaka malalo iho o'u.
49 who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You protect me from the violent man.
Oia ke hoopakele ia'u i ko'u poe enemi: Oia hoi ka i hookiekie ae ia'u maluna o ka poe i ku e mai ia'u; Ua hoola mai oe ia'u i ke kanaka hoino.
50 Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
Nolaila au e hoalohaloha aku ai ia oe, e Iehova, mawaena o na kanaka e. E mele hoomaikai aku au i kou inoa.
51 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever."
Oia ka halekiai no kana alii: Ua aloha mai ia i kana mea poni, Ia Davida me kana poe mamo, a mau loa aku.
