Psalms 104
1 [I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. Yahweh, my God, you are very great! Like a king has on his royal robes [MET], you have honor and majesty/greatness all around you!
E Iehova, e kuu Akua e, ua nui loa no oe; Ua kahikoia no oe i ka nani a me ka hanohano.
2 You [created/caused] light to be like your robe [MET]. You spread out the sky like [a man sets up] a tent.
Ua uhiia no oe i ka malamalama me he kapa la; Ua hohola no oe i na lani me he paku la.
3 You made/put your home [in heaven], above the rain clouds in the sky, [like a man puts the] rafters of his house in place [MET]. You made/caused the clouds to be like chariots [to carry you].
Ua haua no oia i kona mau keena kiekie ma na wai; Ua kau aku no hoi i na ao maluna i kaa mau nona: A ua holoholo me na eheu o ka makani.
4 You caused the winds to be [like] your messengers [MET], and flames of fire to be [like] your servants.
Ua hana oia i kona poe elele, he makani; A i kona poe kahuns hoi, he lapalapa ahi;
5 You placed the world firmly on its foundation so that it can never be moved/shaken.
Ua hoopaa oia i ka honua maluna o kona kumu, I ole ia e nauweuwe, a mau loa aku.
6 [Later], you covered the earth with a flood, like a blanket, with the water that covered the mountains.
A ua uhi no oe ia i ka hohonu, me he kapa la: Ku mai la na wai, maluna o na mauna.
7 [But] when you rebuked the water, the oceans receded; your voice spoke like thunder, and then the waters rushed away.
I kou papa ana, holo no lakou; I ka leo o kou hekili, auhee aku la lakou.
8 Mountains rose up [from the water], and the valleys sank down to the levels that you had determined for them.
Ea mai la no maluna o na mauna; A emi iho la ma na awawa ilalo, A i kahi au i hookumu ai no lakou.
9 [Then] you set a boundary for the oceans, a boundary that they cannot cross; their water will never again cover the [whole] earth.
Ua kau pale oe i mokuna no lakou. I ole lakou e hala'e; I ole hoi e hoi hou mai, a uhi i ka honua.
10 You make/cause springs to pour [water] into ravines; their [water] flows down between the mountains.
Kuu mai la oia i na waipuna ma na awawa, I kahe mai lakou, mawaena o na mauna.
11 Those [streams] provide water for all the animals [to drink]; the wild donkeys [drink the water and] are no longer thirsty.
Hoohainu no lakou i na holoholona a pau o ke kula; A hooana no hoi na hoki hihiu i ko lakou makewai.
12 Birds make their nests alongside [the streams], and they sing among the branches [of the trees].
Maluna olaila na manu o ka lewa e hoopunana'i, A kani hoi ko lakou leo iwaena o na lala.
13 From (your home in heaven/the sky) you send rain down on the mountains, and you fill the earth with many good things that you create.
Ua hoomauu mai no oia i ua mauna, mailoko mai o kona waihonawai; Ua maona hoi ka aina i ka hua o kau hana ana.
14 You make/cause grass to grow for the cattle [to eat], and you make/cause plants to grow for people. In that way [animals and people] get their food from [what grows in] the soil.
Nana no i hooulu mai ka mauu no na holoholona, A me ka mea uli hoi i pono ai na kanaka: I hoopuka mai ai oia i ka ai mailoko mai o ka honua,
15 We get [grapes to make] [MTY] wine to [drink and] make us cheerful, and we get [olives to make] [MTY] olive oil to [put on our] skin and cause it to shine, and we get [grain to make] [MTY] bread to give us strength.
A me ka waina hoi i mea e olioli ai ko na kanaka naau, A me ka aila hoi, i mea e hinuhinu ai kana maka, A me ka berena, ka mea e hooikaika ai ka naau o na kanaka.
16 Yahweh, you [send plenty of rain to] water your trees, the cedar [trees] that you planted in Lebanon.
Ua kena no na laau o Iehova, Na kedera hoi o Lebanona, na mea ana i kanu ai;
17 Birds make their nests in those [trees]; even storks make their nests in pine/fir trees.
Malaila no e hoopunana'i na manu; O ke kikonia, o na laau kaa kona hale.
18 High up in the mountains the wild goats live, and hyraxes/badgers live in the crags/crevices in the rocks.
O na mauna kiekie ka puuhonua o na kao hihiu; A o na pohaku hoi ko na rabita.
19 [Yahweh], you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals, and you made the sun that knows when to go down.
Nana no i hana i na mahina no na kau; Ua ike no ka la i kona napoo ana.
20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the animals in the forest prowl around, [looking for food].
Lawe mai no oe i ka pouli, a ua po; Ia manawa, kolo mai na mea kolo a pau o ka nahelehele.
21 At night the young lions roar as they seek their prey, [but] they depend on you to give them food.
Uwo mai la hoi na liona opiopio i ko lakou wahi, A imi hoi i ka ai, mai ke Akua mai.
22 At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.
Puka mai la ka la, alaila, akoakoa lakou, A moe no lakou, ma ko lakou ana.
23 And during the daytime, people go to their work; they work until it is evening.
Hele aku no ke kanaka i kana hana, A i kona hooikaika hoi, a ahiahi.
24 Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things! You were [very] wise as you made them all. The earth is full of the creatures that you [made].
Nani ka nui o kau mau hana, e Iehova! Ma ke akamai i hana mai ai oe ia mau mea a pau: Ua piha hoi ka honua i kau waiwai.
25 [We see] the ocean which is very large [DOU]! It is full of many kinds of living creatures, big ones and little ones.
A me keia moana nui hoi, a palahalaha, Malaila no na mea kolo, pau ole i ka heluia, A me na mea ola, he liilii, a he nui no hoi.
26 We see the ships which sail along! We see the huge sea monster, which you made to (splash around/play) in the sea.
Malaila no na moku e holo ae; Aia hoi kela leviatana au i hana'i, e paani ilaila.
27 All of those creatures depend on you to give them the food that they need.
Kakali no keia poe a pau ia oe, I haawi mai ai oe i ka lakou ai i ka wa pono.
28 When you give them the food that they need, they gather it. You give them what you have in your hand, and they [eat it and] are satisfied.
O ka mea au e haawi mai ai na lakou, oia ka lakou e hooiliili iho; Wehe no oe i kou lima, a lako iho la lakou i ka maikai.
29 [But] if you refuse to give food to them, they become terrified. And when you cause them to stop breathing, they die; their bodies [decay and] become soil again.
I huna oe i kou maka, make koke iho la lakou; Lawe oe i ko lakou ea, make no lakou, a hoi hou i ka lepo.
30 When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe, they start to live; you give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.
Hoouna mai oe i kou ea, ua hanaia iho la lakou; A nau no hoi i hoano hou i ka mnka o ka honua.
31 I want the glory of Yahweh to last forever. I want him to rejoice about [all] the things that he has created.
E mau loa ana no ka nani o Iehova; E lealea mai no o Iehova i kana mau hana.
32 He causes the earth to shake [just] by looking at it! By [merely] touching the mountains he makes/causes them to pour out fire and smoke!
Nana mai no oia i ka honua, a haalulu iho la ia; Hoopa mai oia i na mauna, uwahi ae la lakou.
33 I will sing to Yahweh (as long as I live/throughout my entire life). I will praise my God until the day that I die.
E oli aku au ia Iehova i ka manawa o ko'u ola ana; E hoolea no hoi au i ke Akua, a i ko'u hopena,
34 I want Yahweh to be pleased by all those things that I have thought [about him], because I rejoice about [knowing] him.
He mea ono ko'u noonoo ana ia ia; A ma Iehova no wau e lealea ai.
35 [But] I desire that sinners will disappear from the earth, so that there will be no more wicked [people]! [But as for] me, I will praise Yahweh! (Praise him/Hallelujah)!
E hookiia'e ka poe hewa mai ka honua aku, O ka poe lawehala hoi, aole e koe lakou. E hoomaikai aku ia Iehova, e kuu uhane: E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
