2 Samuel 22
1 And David spake unto 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, even mine;
I aku la ia, O Iehova no kuu pohaku, kuu pakaua, a me kuu hoola;
3 The God of my rock, in him will I trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, thou savest me from violence.
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 will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine 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 compassed me, the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
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, yea, I called unto my God: and 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 heaven moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
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 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and 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; and 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 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he was seen upon 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 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
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 At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled.
Noloko o ka olinolino imua ona, ua kuniia na lanahu ahi.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and 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; lightning, and discomfited 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, 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 them that 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 upon me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
Haule mai la lakou maluna o'u i ko'u la popilikia, Aka, ua kokua mai o Iehova ia'u.
20 He brought me forth also 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: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
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 judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
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, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
Ua kupono hoi au imua ona, A ua malama au ia'u iho i kuu hewa.
25 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eyesight.
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 merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, with the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect;
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 thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself froward.
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 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
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 thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten 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 thee I run upon a troop: by my God do 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 tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust 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, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
Owai la ke Akua ke ole o Iehova? Owai hoi ka pohaku ke ole ko kakou Akua?
33 God is my strong fortress: and he guideth the perfect in his way.
O ke Akua no ko'u ikaika a me ko'u mana; Ke hoopololei nei oia i ko'u alanui.
34 He maketh his feet like hinds’ [feet]: and setteth me upon 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 teacheth my hands to war; so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
Ke ao mai nei oia i kuu mau lima e kaua; I uhaiia'i e ko'u lima ke kakaka keleawe.
36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath 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 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and 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 have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
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 have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under 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 thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that 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 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that 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 looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
Leha ae lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole nae ia i hoolohe mai.
43 Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.
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 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall 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 The strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear of me, they shall obey 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 The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.
E mae aku no na kanaka e, E makau hoi lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of 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 that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,
O ke Akua ke hoopai aku no'u, Me ka hoolilo i na kanaka malalo iho o'u.
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me: thou deliverest 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 give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto thy 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 Great deliverance giveth he to his king: and sheweth lovingkindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
Oia ka halekiai no kana alii: Ua aloha mai ia i kana mea poni, Ia Davida me kana poe mamo, a mau loa aku.
