Psalms 89
1 An Instructive Psalm, by Ethan the Ezrahite. The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, age-abidingly will I sing, To generation after generation, will I make known thy faithfulness with my mouth.
E HOOKANI mau loa aku au i ka lokomaikai o Iehova; Ma ko'u waha e hoike aku at au i kou oiaio i kela hanauna, i keia hanauna.
2 For I said, To times age-abiding, shall lovingkindness be built up, As for the heavens, thou wilt establish thy faithfulness therein.
No ka mea, ua olelo no wau, e hoopaa mau loa ia kou lokomaikai; A e hookumu no hoi oe i kou oiaio ma ka lani.
3 I have solemnised a covenant, for my chosen one, I have sworn unto David my servant:
Ua hana au i berita me kou poe i waeia, Ua hoohiki aku au no Davida, ka'u kauwa,
4 Unto times age-abiding, will I establish thy seed, And will build up, unto generation after generation, thy throne. (Selah)
E hoonoho paa loa wau i kau poe mamo, A e hana no hoi au i nohoalii nou no na hanauna a pau. (Sila)
5 So shall the heavens praise thy wondrousness, O Yahweh, —Yea, thy faithfulness, in the convocation of holy ones.
Na ka lani no e hoolea i kou mau mea mana, e Iehova, I kou oiaio kekahi, ma ke anaina o ka poe pono.
6 For whom, in the skies, can one compare unto Yahweh? [Or] can one liken unto Yahweh, among the sons of the mighty?
No ka mea, owai la ka mea ma ke aonli e ku like me Iehova? Iwaena hoi o na keiki a ka poe kiekie, e hoohalikeia me Iehova?
7 A GOD inspiring awe in the circle of the holy ones, exceedingly, And to be reverenced above all who are round about him.
He Akua woliweli loa hoi ia ma ke anaina o ka poe pono; A he mea ia e hopohopo ai no ka poe a pau e noho hoopuni ana ia ia.
8 O Yahweh, God of hosts! Who, like thee, is mighty, O Yah! With thy faithfulness round about thee:
E Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, Owai la kekahi Iehova e like me oe? Me kou oiaio hoi e hoopuni ana ia oe?
9 Thou, rulest over the swelling of the sea, When the rolling waves thereof lift themselves, Thou, dost bid them be still:
O oe no ka i hookouopono i ke kupikipikio ana o ke kai; A pii nui ae kona mau ale, nau ia e hoomalielie.
10 Thou, hast crushed—as one slain—Rahab, With thy strong arm, hast thou scattered thy foes.
Ua paopao no oe ia Rahaba, me he mea la i pepehiia; I ka ikaika o kou lima, na hooauhee oe i kou poe enemi.
11 Thine, are the heavens, Yea, thine, the earth, The world and the fulness thereof, Thou, didst found them;
Nau no ka lani, nau no hoi ka honua; Ua hookumu no oe i ke ao, a me kona mau mea e piha'i.
12 The north and the south, Thou, didst create them, —Tabor and Hermon, with thy Name, shall shout for joy:
O ke kukulu akau, a me ke kukuluhema, nau no i hana ia mau mea; E olioli no o Tabora a me Heremona i kou inoa.
13 Thine is an arm with might, Strong is thy hand, High is thy right hand;
He lima no kou i lako i ka ikaika: Ua ikaika no kou lima, ua kiekie hoi kou lima akau.
14 Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of thy throne, Lovingkindness and faithfulness, go before thy face.
O ka pono, a me ka hoopono, oia ke kumu o kou nohoalii: E hele ae no imua o kou maka ka lokomaikai, a me ka oiaio.
15 How happy are the people who know the joyful sound! O Yahweh! in the light of thy countenance, shall they firmly march along;
Pomaikai ka poe kanaka ike ia leo hauoli: E Iehova, e hele no lakou ma ka malamalama o kou maka.
16 In thy Name, shall they exult all the day, And, in thy righteousness, shall they be exalted.
E hauoli no lakou i kou inoa a po ka la; A ma kou pono hoi e hookiekieia'i lakou.
17 For, the beauty of their strength, thou art, And, in thine acceptance, shall our horns be exalted.
No ka mea, o oe no ka nani o ko lakou ikaika; A ma kou lokomaikai e hookiekieia'i ko makou pepeiaohao.
18 For, to Yahweh, belongeth our Shield, And, to the Holy One of Israel, belongeth our King.
No ka mea, aia no ia Iehova ko makou paku, A i ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela, ko makou alii.
19 Then spakest thou in vision of thy men of lovingkindness, and saidst—I have laid help upon a mighty one, I have exalted one chosen from among the people;
Alaila, olelo iho no oe i kou mea hemolele ma ke akaku, I mai la. Ua kau aku au i ka mana maluna o ka mea ikaika; Ua hookiekie au i ka mea i waeia mai o na kanaka.
20 I have found David my servant, With mine own holy oil, have I anointed him;
Ua loaa ia'u o Davida, o ka'u kauwa; Ua poni aku no au ia ia me kuu aila laa.
21 With whom my hand shall be firm, Yea, mine arm, shall strengthen him;
E paa mau no ko'u lima me ia, A e hooikaika aku no ko'u lima ia ia.
22 No foe shall make exactions on him, Nor shall, a son of perversity, humiliate him;
Aole e kii mai ka enemi i kana, Aole hoi e hookaumaha ke keiki a ka hewa ia ia.
23 And I will shatter, from before him, his adversaries, And, them who hate him, will I smite;
Na'u no e hooauhee i kona poe enemi imua ona, A e luku aku hoi i ka poe inaina mai ia ia,
24 And, my faithfulness and my lovingkindness, shall be with him, And, in my Name, exalted shall be his horn;
E noho no ko'u oiaio a me ko'u lokomaikai me ia; A ma ko'u inoa e hookiekieia'i kona pepeiaohao.
25 And I will set, in the sea, his hand, And, in the rivers, his right hand;
E hookau aku au i kona lima ma ke kai, A me kona lima akau hoi ma na muliwai.
26 He, shall cry out unto me, My Father, thou art, My GOD, and my Rock of Salvation!
E hea mai no oia ia'u, O oe no ko'u Makua, O ko'u Akua hoi, a me ka Pohaku o ko'u hoolaia.
27 Yea, I, will appoint him, firstborn, Most High to the kings of the earth!
E hoolilo no wau ia ia i ko'u makahiapo, I mea kiekie maluna o na'lii o ka honua.
28 Age-abidingly, will I keep for him my lovingkindness, And, my covenant, hath been made steadfast for him;
E malama mau loa no wau i ko'u lokomaikai ia ia, A e ku paa loa no ko'u berita me ia.
29 Therefore will I appoint, to futurity, his seed, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
E hoomau loa no wau i kona poe mamo, A me kona nohoalii hoi, e like me na la o ka lani.
30 If his sons forsake my law, And, in my regulations, do not walk;
Ina haalele kana poe keiki i ko'u kanawai, Aole hoi e hele ma kou hoopono ana.
31 If, my statutes, they profane, And, my commandments, do not keep:
Ina kuu aku lakou i ka'u olelo pau, Aole hoi e malama i ka'u mau kauoha;
32 Then will I punish, with a rod, their transgression; And, with stripes, their iniquity:
Alaila e hoopai aku au i ko lakou hewa i ka laau hahau, A me ko lakou hala hoi i ke kaula.
33 But, my lovingkindness, will I not frustrate from them, Neither will I falsify my faithfulness;
Aole nae o lawe loa aku au i ko'u lokomaikai mai ona aku. Aole hoi au e hoole i ko'u lokomaikai.
34 I will not violate my covenant, And that which hath proceeded out of my lips, will I not alter:
Aole au e ae maluna o ka'u berita, Aole hoi e hoololi i ka olelo i puka aku ma ko'u lehelehe.
35 One thing, have I sworn by my holiness, Verily, to David, will I not lie;
Hookahi no ko'u hoohiki ana i ko'u hemolele, Aole au e wahahee aku ia Davida.
36 His seed, age-abidingly, shall remain, And, his throne, be like the sun before me;
E mau loa ana no kana poe mamo, A me kona nohoalii, e like me ka la imua o'u.
37 Like the moon, shall it be established unto times age-abiding, And, a witness, in the skies, hath been made sure. (Selah)
E hoopaa mau loa ia no hoi ia, e like me ka mahina, Me he mea hoike oiaio la ma ke aouli. (Sila)
38 Yet, thou thyself, hast cast off, and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine Anointed One!
Aka, ua hooki mai oe, a ua hoopailua mai, A ua huhu mai no hoi oe i kau mea i poni ai.
39 Thou hast cast down the covenant of thy Servant, Thou hast profaned, to the earth, his crown;
Ua hoole mai no hoi oe i ka berita o kau kauwa: Ua hoolei oe i kona leialii i lalo i ka lepo.
40 Thou hast broken down all his defenses, Thou hast laid his fortresses in ruins;
Ua wawahi no hoi oe i kona mau pa a pau, Ua haawi mai no hoi oe i kona mau pakaua i ka lukuia.
41 All the passers by the way, have plundered him, He hath become a reproach to his neighbours;
Hao wale ia ia ka poe a pau e maalo ana ae malaila: He mea hoomaewaowa ia i kona poe hoalauna.
42 Thou hast raised the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast gladdened all his enemies;
Ua hookiekio oe i ka lima akau o kona poe enemi; Ua hoohauoli oe i ka poe a pau i inaina mai ia ia.
43 Yea thou hast turned the edge of his sword, Neither hast thou caused him to stand in the battle;
Ua hoohuli ae no hoi oe i ka maka o kana pahikaua, Aole hoi oe i hookupaa ia ia ma ke kaua.
44 Thou hast brought to an end his splendour, And, his throne—to the ground, hast thou hurled;
Ua hooki mai oe i kona nani, A ua hoolei i kona nohoalii ilalo i ka lepo.
45 Thou hast shortened the days of his youths, —Thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)
Ua hoopokole mai oe i na la o kona wa opiopio; Ua uhi mai no hoi oe ia ia i ka hilahila. (Sila)
46 How long, O Yahweh, Wilt thou hide thyself utterly? Shall thine indignation, burn like fire?
Pehea la ka loihi o kou hoonalo ana ia oe iho, e Iehova? E mau loa anei? E a mai nei anei kou huhu me he ahi la?
47 Remember how short-lived, I, am, Wherefore, in vain, hast thou created all the sons of Adam?
E hoomanao mai oe ia'u, pehea la ka loihi o ke ola ana? No ke aha la oe i hana makehewa ai i na kanaka a pau?
48 Who is the man that shall live, and not see death? That can deliver his soul from the hand of hades. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Owai ke kanaka e ola nei, aole oia e ike i ka make? E hoopakele anei oia i kona ola, mai ka lima aku o ka mea make? (Sila) (Sheol h7585)
49 Where are thy former lovingkindnesses, O My Lord? Thou didst swear unto David, in thy faithfulness!
Auhea la kou lokomaikai o na manawa kahiko, e ka Haku? Ka mea au i hoohiki ai ia Davida ma ka oiaio?
50 Remember, O My Lord, the reproach of thy servants, I have carried in my bosom the insult of the peoples:
E hoomanao mai oe, e ka Haku, i ka hoinoia o kau kauwa; Ua lawe no wau ma kou umauma i na lehulehu a pau o kou poe kanaka.
51 In that thy foes have reproached, O Yahweh, In that they have reproached the footsteps of thine Anointed One!
No ka mea, ua hoino wale mai kou poe enemi, e Iehova, Ua hoino wale mai hoi i na kapuwai o kou mea i poniia.
52 Blessed be Yahweh to times age-abiding, Amen, and Amen!
E hoomaikaiia o Iehova, a i ka manawa pau ole. Amene, Amene.
