Psalms 66
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melodious Song. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth;
E HOOKANI olioli i ke Akua, e na aina a pau:
2 Praise ye in song the glory of his Name, Celebrate the glory of his praise:
E himeni aku i ka nani o kona inoa: E hoolilo i ka hoolea nona i mea nani.
3 Say unto God—How fearful in thy doings, Through the abounding of thy power, shall thy foes come cringing unto thee;
E olelo aku i ke Akua, Nani kou kupaianaha i kau hana aua! No ka nui o kou mana e hoolohe ai kou mau enemi ia oe.
4 All the earth, shall bow themselves down to thee, And sing praises unto thee, Shall praise in song thy Name. (Selah)
E pau ka honua i ka hoomana aku ia oe, me ke mele aku ia oe; E himeni aku lakou i kou inoa. (Sila)
5 Come and see the doings of God, —Fearful in deed toward the sons of men:
E hele mai oukou e ike i na hana a ke Akua; He kupaianaha ia i kana hana ana no na keiki a kanaka.
6 He turned the sea into dry land, Through the stream, crossed they over on foot, There did we rejoice in him:
Hoolilo mai la oia i ke kai i aina maloo: Hele wawae ae la lakou iwaena o ka muliwai: Malaila kakou i hauoli aku ai ia ia.
7 Who ruleth, in his might, unto times age abiding, His eyes, over the nations, keep watch, The rebellious, let them not exalt themselves. (Selah)
Ma kona mana ua hoomalu mau loa oia; Ke nana mai nei kona mau maka i na lahuikanaka: Aole e hookiekie ae ka poe kipikipi. (Sila)
8 Bless our God, O ye peoples, And cause to be heard, the sound of his praise; —
E hoomaikai i ko kakou Akua, e na kanaka, E hooloheia'ku ka leo o ka hoolea nona:
9 Who hath set our soul among the living, And hath not suffered, our foot, to slip.
Ka mea i hoomau i ko kakou uhane ma ke ola nei; Aole i kuu mai e kapeke ko kakou mau wawae.
10 For thou didst prove us, O God, Thou didst refine us, according to the refining of silver:
No ka mea, ua hoao mai oe, e ke Akua, ia makou; Ua hoao mai oe ia makou me he kala la i hoaoia.
11 Thou didst bring us into the hunter’s net, Thou didst lay a load upon our loins;
Ua hookomo oe ia makou i ka upena; Ua waiho mai oe i ka mea kaumaha ma ko makou mau puhaka.
12 Thou didst let men ride at our head; We went into fire and into water, But thou didst bring us forth into freedom.
Ua haawi mai oe, e hooholo na kanaka maluna o ko makou mau poo: Hele ae la makou iwaena o ke ahi a me ka wai: Aka, ua lawe mai oe ia makou ma kahi waiwai.
13 I will enter thy house with ascending-sacrifices, I will pay unto thee my vows,
E hele au iloko o kou hale me na mohaikuni: E hooko aku au nou i ka'u mau mea i hoohiki aku ai,
14 Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, in my distress.
Ka mea a ko'u mau lehelehe i hoopuka aku ai; A me ko'u waha i olelo ai i kuu popilikia ana.
15 Ascending-sacrifices of fatlings, will I cause to ascend unto thee, With the perfume of rams, I will offer bulls, with he-goats. (Selah)
E kaumaha aku au nou i na mohaikuni momona, Me ka mea ala o na hipa kane; E alana aku au i na bipi me na kao. (Sila)
16 Come! hearken—that I may recount, all ye reverers of God, What he hath done for my soul: —
E hele mai e hoolohe, e ka poe a pau i weliweli i ke Akua, A e hai aku au i ka mea ana i hana mai ai no kuu uhane.
17 Unto him—with my mouth, did I cry, And high praise was under my tongue.
Ua kahea aku au ia ia me kuu waha, A ua hapaiia'ku hoi ia e ko'u alelo.
18 If, iniquity, I had cared for in my heart, My Lord, had not heard me!
Ina malama au i ka hewa ma ko'u naau, Aole e hoolohe mai ka Haku ia'u:
19 But in truth, God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
Aka, ua hoolohe io mai no ke Akua; Ua maliu mai i ka leo o ka'u pule.
20 Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his own lovingkindness from me.
E hoomaikaiia'ku ke Akua, Ka mea i hookapae ole i ka'u pule, A me kona aloha, mai o'u aku nei.
