Psalms 78
1 An Instructive Psalm. Asaph’s. Give ear, O my people, to mine instruction, Bend your ear to the sayings 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, in a parable, my mouth, I will pour forth enigmas out of antiquity; —
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 come to know, And, our fathers, have recounted to 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 withhold [them] from their children, To a later generation, recounting the praises of Yahweh, Even his might and his wonders which he wrought;
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 When he set up a testimony in Jacob, And, a law, appointed in Israel, —Which he commanded our fathers, That they might 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 To the end, A later generation, might come to know, Children who should be born, Who should arise, and recount [them] to 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, in Elohim, their confidence, —And not forget the doings of El, But, his commandments, might observe;
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 not become, like their fathers, a generation stubborn and rebellious, —A generation that fixed not their heart, Neither was their spirit, faithful 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 sons of Ephraim—armed bowmen, Turned 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 kept not the covenant of God, And, in his law, refused to walk;
Aole lakou i malama i ka berita o ke Akua, A hoole lakou i ka hele ma kona kanawai:
11 And forgat His doings, And his wonders which he had showed them:
Poina ia lakou kana mau hana. Na mea kupanaha hoi ana i hoike mai ai.
12 In presence of their fathers, wrought he, wondrously, —In the land of Egypt—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 clave the sea, and caused them to pass through, And reared up the waters like a mound;
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 And led them, by a cloud, in the daytime, And all the night, by 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 used to cleave rocks in the desert, And let them drink as out of mighty deeps;
Wahi ae la oia i na pohaku ma ka waonahele, Hoohainu mai oia, e like me na ale nui.
16 And he brought forth streams out of the cliff, And caused waters to flow 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 But again, once more sinned they against him, Resisting the Most High in a land of drought:
Hana hewa hou aku la lakou ia ia, I ke ku e ana i ka Mea kiekie ma ka waoakua.
18 They put GOD to the proof in their heart, By asking food to their mind:
Hoao aku la lakou i ke Akua ma ko lakou naau, I ka nonoi ana i ai, no ko lakou kuko iho.
19 Yea they spake against Elohim, —They said, Can GOD prepare a table in the desert?
Hoowahawaha aku la lakou i ke Akua, i iho la, E hiki anei i ke Akua ke halii i papaaina ma ka waonahele?
20 Lo! he hath smitten a rock, And waters, have gushed out, Yea, torrents, have rushed along, —Food also, can he give? Or 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, Yahweh hearkened, and became wroth, —And, a fire, was kindled against Jacob, Moreover also, anger, mounted 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 believed not in God, Nor trusted in his salvation;
No ka mea, aole lakou i manaoio i ke Akua; Aole hoi i paulele i kona kokua ana.
23 Though he had commanded the skies above, And, the doors of the heavens, had opened;
Ua kauoha nae oia i na ao, mailuna mai, A ua wahi no hoi i puka ma ka lani,
24 And had rained on them manna to eat, And, the corn of the heavens, had given to them:
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 The food of the mighty, each one did eat, Nourishment, sent he them 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 let loose an east wind in the heavens, Then guided he, in his might, a 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 And rained upon them flesh as the dust, And, like the sand of the seas, birds of wing;
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 And let them fall in the midst of their camp, —Round about their habitations.
Hoohaule iho la oia ia mea ma ke kahua hoomoana, A puni hoi ko lakou wahi i noho ai.
29 So they did eat and were abundantly filled, When, what they longed for, he had brought them: —
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 had not turned away from what they had longed for, Yet was their food in their mouth,
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, mounted against them, And he slew of their vigorous youths, And, the choice young men of Israel, caused he to bow down in death.
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, sinned they still, And believed not in his wonders;
Aka, ma ia mau mea a pau, hana hewa hou iho la no lakou, Aole i manaoio i kana mau hana kupanaha.
33 So he ended, in a breath, their days, And their years, in a sudden 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 If he slew [of] them, then they sought him, Yea they turned, and did earnestly seek GOD;
Ina luku oia ia lakou, alaila, nonoi aku lakou ia ia, Huli ae la no hoi, a imi i ke Akua.
35 And remembered that, Elohim, was their rock, Yea, EL Most High, their Redeemer:
Hoomanao iho la lakou, o ke Akua ko lakou Pohaku, A o ke Akua kiekie hoi ko lakou Hoolapanai.
36 So they spake him fair with their mouth, And, with their tongue, did promise him falsely;
Aka, hoomalimali aku lakou ia ia ma ko lakou waha A wahahee aku no hoi ia ia ma ko lakou alelo.
37 But, their heart, was not fixed with him, Nor were they trusty in his covenant:
Aole i kupaa ko lakou naau ma ke Akua, Aole hoi i hilinai i kona berita.
38 Yet, he, full of compassion, would put a propitiatory-covering over iniquity, and not destroy, —Yea, many a time, turned he back his anger, And would 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 So then he remembered, That, Flesh, they were, A Wind departing, that returneth not.
No ka mea, hoomanao oia, he palupalu lakou, He ea hele wale aku, aole hoi mai.
40 How often they, Resisted him in the desert, Vexed him, in the waste:
Me he aha la la ko lakou kipikipi ana ia ia ma ka waonahele? A hoonaukiuki ia ia ma ka waoakua?
41 Yea they again put GOD to the test, And, to the Holy One of Israel, caused they sorrow:
A huli ihope lakou a hoao i ke Akua, Hoehaeha no hoi i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
42 They remembered not his hand—The day, When he ransomed them from the adversary;
Aole lakou i hoomanao i kona lima, I ka la ana i hoopakele ai ia lakou i ka pilikia,
43 When he set, in Egypt, his signs, And his wonders, in the plain 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 When he turned, into blood, their Nile-streams, And, their own rivers, could they 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, The gad-fly, and it devoured them, And the frog, and it despoiled 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 When he gave to the corn-locust their produce, And their toil, to the swarming 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 killed, with hail, their vine, And their sycomores, with frost:
Pepehi mai la oia i ka lakou kumuwaina i ka huahekili, A me ka lakou sukamora i ka hau.
48 When he gave up, to hail-storms, their beasts, And their cattle, to pestilent fevers;
Hoolilo ae la oia i na bipi a lakou i ka huahekili, A me na holoholona a lakou i ka uila.
49 He sent among them the heat of his anger, Wrath and indignation and distress, —A mission of messengers of misfortune:
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 leveled a path for his anger, Withheld not, from death, their soul, But, their life—to the pestilence, he delivered:
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 So he smote, Every first-born in Egypt, The beginning 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 And he set forth, like sheep, his people, And guided them, like a flock in the desert;
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 Yea he led them securely, and they dreaded not, And, their enemies, the sea did cover.
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 Then brought he them within his own holy bounds, The mountain-range, which his right hand made his own:
Hoohele oia ia lakou i kona aina hoano, I keia mauna hoi a kona lima akau i hookumu ai.
55 So he drave out, before them, [whole] nations, And allotted them, by line, an inheritance, And caused to dwell, in their own homes, the tribes of Israel.
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 But they tested and resisted God Most High, And, his testimonies, did not observe;
Aka, hoao lakou i ke Akua kiekie, a kipi aku la, Aole hoi i malama i kana mau kauoha:
57 But drew back and dealt treacherously, like their fathers, They turned aside, like deceitful bowmen;
Huli hope lakou, a hoopunipuni e like me na makua o lakou; Ua huli lakou ihope, e like me ke kakaka lauwili.
58 And provoked him to anger with their high places, And, with their images, used to move him to jealousy.
Hoonaukiuki lakou ia ia i ko lakou wahi kiekie, A hoolili no hoi ia ia i ko lakou poe kii kalaiia.
59 God heard and was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;
A lohe ke Akua alaila, huhu mai la ia, A hoopailua loa no hoi i ka Iseraela.
60 So he gave up the habitation of Shiloh, The tent he had set up 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 Yea he gave up, into captivity, his strength, And his beauty into the hand of an adversary;
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 And delivered up, to the sword, his people, And, with his own inheritance, was he wroth;
Hoolilo no oia i kona poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A huhu mai la i kona hooilina.
63 His young men, were devoured by fire, And, his virgins, were not praised in song;
Hoopau no ke ahi i kona poe kanaka ui; Aole nae i kanikau na wahine puupaa.
64 His priests, by the sword, did fall, And, his widows, were not able to bewail.
Haule no hoi kona poe kahuna i ka pahikaua; Aole nae i kanikau kona poe wahiue kanemake.
65 Then awoke, as one that had slept, Adonay, As a warrior exulting with 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 So he smote his adversaries in the rear, Reproach age-abiding, laid he upon them.
Alaila, pehi ae la oia i kona poe enemi ma ko lakou hope; Haawi no ia i hilahila mau loa lakou.
67 Howbeit he rejected the tent of Joseph, And, the tribe of Ephraim, did not choose:
Hoowahawaha oia i ka halelewa o Iosepa, Aole hoi i wae i ka ohana o Eperaima:
68 But made choice of the tribe of Judah, The mountain of Zion, which he loved;
Aka, wae no ia i ka ohana o Iuda, I ka mauna hoi o Ziona ana i aloha'i.
69 And built, like the heights, his sanctuary, Like the earth, he founded it to times age-abiding.
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 And made choice of David his servant, And took him from among the folds of the sheep:
Wae mai la oia ia Davida i kana kauwa, A lawe ae la ia ia, mai na pahipa ae:
71 From after the sucking ewes, he brought him in, —To be shepherd to Jacob his people, And to 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 did shepherd them, according to the singleness of his heart, And, with the discernment of his hands, used he to guide them.
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.
