Psalms 31
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. In thee, O Yahweh, have I sought refuge, Let me not be ashamed to times age-abiding, In thy righteousness, deliver me:
KE hilinai aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, aole loa au o hoka; Ma kou pono e hoola mai oe ia'u.
2 Incline unto me, thine ear, Speedily rescue me, —Become to me a Rock of refuge, a Place of security, For saving me.
E haliu mai kou pepeiao ia'u, e hoola koke mai ia'u; E lilo oe i pohaku paa no'u, i hale e malu ai e ola'i au.
3 Because, my mountain crag and my stronghold, thou art, Therefore, for the sake of thine own Name, wilt thou lead me and guide me?
No ka mea, o oe no ko'u pohaku a me kuu pakaua; Nolaila, no kou inoa e alakai oe ia'u, a e malama mai ia'u.
4 Wilt thou bring me forth, out of the net which they have hidden for me? For, thou, art my refuge.
E kaili oe ia'u mailoko o ka upena a lakou i waiho malu ai no'u; No ka mea, o oe no ko'u ikaika.
5 Into thy hand, do I commit my spirit—Thou hast ransomed me, O Yahweh, GOD most faithful.
Ke haawi aku nei au i kuu uhane iloko o kou lima; Ua hoopakele mai oe ia'u, e Iehova ke Akua oiaio.
6 I hate such as give heed to false vanities, I, then, in Yahweh, have set my hope.
Ua hoowahawaha au i ka poe manao ma na mea lapuwale hoopunipuni; Aka, ke hilinai aku nei au ia Iehova.
7 I will indeed exult and rejoice, in thy lovingkindness, —In that thou hast looked upon my humiliation, thou hast taken note that in distresses was my life;
E olioli au, a e hauoli hoi i kou aloha; No ka mea, ua manao mai oe i kuu kaumaha; Ua ike hoi oe i ko'u uhane iloko o ka popilikia;
8 And hast not shut me up in the hand of the foe, Thou hast given standing, in a roomy place, unto my feet.
Aole oe i hoopaa ia'u iloko o ka lima o ka enemi; Ua hooku oe i kuu mau wawae ma kahi akea.
9 Show me favour, O Yahweh, for in distress am I, —Wasted with vexation, is mine eye—my soul and my body;
E aloha mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, no ka mea, ua pilikia au: Ua pau e kuu maka i ke kaumaha, a me kuu uhane a me kuu opu.
10 For, consumed with sorrow, is my life, and my years with sighing, —My strength hath staggered with my humiliation, and, my bones, are without marrow.
No ka mea, ua pau kuu ola nei i ke kaumaha, A me kuu mau makahiki i ka u ana: Ua pau e kuu ikaika no kuu hewa, Ua pauhia hoi ko'u mau iwi.
11 By reason of all mine adversaries, have I become a reproach. Even to my neighbours, altogether, and a dread to mine acquaintance, —They who have seen me abroad, have fled from me:
Lilo aku la au i mea hoinoia iwaena o ko'u poe enemi a pau, He mea hoino nui ia iwaena o ko'u mau hoauoho, He mea weliweli no hoi no ko'u mau hoalauna: O ka poe ike mai ia'u mawaho, holo aka lakou mai o'u aku nei.
12 I have been forgotten, like one dead—out of mind, I have been as a missing vessel.
Ua poina hoi au me he kanaka make la i nalo iho: Ua like no hoi au me ka ipu nahaha.
13 For I have heard the whispering of many—A terror round about! When they have sat in conclave together against me, to take away my life, have they intrigued.
No ka mea, ua lohe no au i ka hoino ana o na mea he nui: He makau no ma na aoao a puni; I ka wa i ohumu ku e mai ai lakou ia'u, Kukakuka lakou e kaili wale aku i kuu ola,
14 I, therefore. in thee, have put my trust, O Yahweh, I have said, My God, thou art!
Aka, i hilinai aku au ia oe, e Iehova; I aku la au, o oe no ko'u Akua.
15 In thy hand, are my times, Rescue me from the hand of my foes and from my pursuers!
Aia no i kou lima kuu mau manawa; E hoopakele oe ia'u i ka lima o ko'u poe enemi, A me ka poe alualu hewa mai ia'u.
16 Cause thy face to shine upon thy servant, Save me in thy lovingkindness.
E hoomalamalama mai kou maka i kau kauwa nei: E hoola mai oe ia'u no ko'u aloha.
17 O Yahweh! let me not be ashamed, For I have called upon thee, Let the lawless be ashamed, Go down in silence to hades! (Sheol h7585)
E Iehova, aole au e hoka, No ka mea, ua kahea aku au ia oe: E hoka ka poe hewa, A e waiho leo ole lakou iloko o ka luakupapau. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let false lips be made dumb, —which are speaking—against a righteous one—arrogantly, with pride and contempt.
E hoopaaia na lehelehe hoopunipuni; Na mea olelo hookano me ka haakei, I na mea kaumaha i ku e i ka mea pono.
19 How great is thy goodness, which thou hast hidden away for them who revere thee, —Thou hast wrought for them who seek refuge in thee, in sight of the sons of men.
Nani ka mea maikai au i hoahu ai no ka poe weliweli ia oe; Au i hana'i hoi no ka poe hilinai ia oe imua o na keiki a kanaka!
20 Thou wilt conceal them, in the secrecy of thine own presence, from the conspiracies of men, —Thou wilt hide them in a pavilion, from the strife of tongues.
E huna oe ia lakou ma kahi malu o kou alo mai ka ohumu ana o kanaka; E malama malu oe ia lakou maloko o ka halelewa mai ka paio ana o na elelo.
21 Blessed be Yahweh, for he hath made wonderful his lovingkindness for me, in a fortified city.
E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova: No ka mea, ua hookupanaha oia i kona aloha ia'u iloko o ke kulanakauhale paa.
22 But, I, had said in mine alarm, I am cut off from before thine eyes, —But, indeed, thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, when I cried for help unto thee.
A i kuu wikiwiki, i iho la an, Ua okiia'e no au mai mua'e o kou mau maka; Aka, ua hoolohe mai no hoi oe i ka leo o ka'u pule ana, I kuu kahea ana'ku ia oe.
23 Love Yahweh, all ye his men of lovingkindness, —Faithfulness, doth Yahweh observe, but repayeth abundantly him that worketh proudly.
E aloha aku ia Iehova, e kona poe haipule a pau; No ka mea, ua malama mai o Iehova i ka poe hoopono, A ua uku nui mai no ia i ka mea hana hookano.
24 Be strong, and let your heart be bold, all ye who are waiting for Yahweh.
E hoolana oukou, a e hooikaika mai oia i ko oukou naau, E ka poe a pau e hilinai ana ia Iehova.
