Psalms 81
1 To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." Asaph’s. Shout ye for joy, unto God our strength, Sound the note of triumph, to the God of Jacob;
E HOOKANI olioli oukou i ke Akua, i ko kakou ikaika: E hooho hauoli i ke Akua o Iakoba.
2 Raise a melody, and strike the timbrel, The lyre so sweet, with the harp:
E hookiekie i ke mele ana, a e ho mai hoi i ka pahu kani, A me ka lira oluolu, a me ka violaumi.
3 Blow, at the new moon, the horn, At the full moon, for the day of our sacred festival:
E puhi oukou i ka pu i ka mahina hou, A i ka mahina poepoe hoi no ka la ahaaina.
4 For, a statute to Israel, it is, A regulation, by the God of Jacob;
No ka mea, he olelo paa keia no ka Iseraela, O ke kanawai hoi o ke Akua o ka Iakoba.
5 A testimony in Joseph, he appointed it, When he went forth over the land of Egypt: A language I liked not, used I to hear;
Kau no oia i keia i kanawai no ka Iosepa, Ia ia i hele aku ai iwaena o Aigupita; A lohe no hoi au i ka olelo maopopo ole ia'u.
6 I took away, from the burden, his shoulder, his hands, from the clay, were set free.
Hoopakele ae la au i kona poohiwi i ke kaumaha; Hoopakeleia no hoi kona mau lima i na ipu.
7 In distress, thou didst cry, and I delivered thee, —I answered thee, within a hiding-place of thunder, I proved thee by the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
I ka popilikia, kahea mai oe, a hoopakele aku ai ia oe; A pane aku la au ma kahi malu o ka hekili: Hoao aku au ia oe ma na wai o Meriba.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will adjure thee, O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me!
E hoolohe mai, e ko'u poe kanaka, a e ao aku au ia oe; Ina e hoolohe mai oe ia'u, e ka Iseraela;
9 There shall not be, within thee, a foreign GOD, —Neither shalt thou bow down to a strange GOD:
Mai noho ke akua e ae me oe, Mai kulou hoi imua o ke akua e ae.
10 I, Yahweh, am thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, —Open wide thy mouth, that I may fill it.
Owau no o Iehova, kou Akua, Nana oe i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai; E hoohamama i kou waha, a na'u ia e hoopiha ai.
11 But my people, hearkened not, unto my voice, Even, Israel, inclined not unto me.
Aole nae i hoolohe ko'u poe kanaka i ko'u leo; Aole hoi i makemake mai o ka Iseraela ia'u.
12 So then I let them go on in the stubbornness of their own heart, They might walk in their own counsels!
Alaila, haawi aku la au ia lakou i ka paakiki o ko lakou naau; A hele hoi lakou ma ko lakou manao iho.
13 If, my people, were hearkening unto me, [If, ] Israel, in my ways, would walk,
Ina i hoolohe ko'u poe kanaka ia'u, Ina i hele o ka Iseraela ma ko'u aoao!
14 Right soon, their foes, would I subdue, And, against their adversaries, would I turn my hand:
Ina ua hoohaahaa koke aku au i ko lakou poe enemi, A ua huli ku e hoi kou lima i ka poe i huhu mai ia lakou:
15 The haters of Yahweh, should come cringing unto him, Then let their own good time be age-abiding!
Ina ua huli mai hoi ka poe i huhu ia Iehova, A ua mau loa no ko lakou manawa.
16 Then would he feed them from the marrow of the wheat, Yea, out of the rock—with honey, would I satisfy thee.
Ina ua hanai aku oia ia lakou i ka palaoa maikai; A ua hoomaona hoi au ia oe i ka meli mailoko mai o ka pohaku.
