Psalms 16
1 God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
E HOOLA mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua: Ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe.
2 I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
E kuu uhane, ua i aku oe ia Iehova, O oe no ko'u Haku; Aole i hiki aku ko'u maikai ia oe;
3 Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with them.
Aka, i ka poe haipule ma ka honua, A me ka poe maikai a'u e hauoli nei.
4 Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad. I will not join them when they make sacrifices [to their gods]; I will not even join them when they speak [MTY] the names of their gods.
E hoonuiia'na ka eha o ka poe e hahai i ka mea e; Aole au e mohai aku i ko lakou mohaiinu koko, Aole hoi e hapai i ko lakou inoa i kou mau Iehelehe.
5 Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen, and you give me great blessings. You protect me and control what happens to me.
O Iehova ka io o ko'u hooilina a me ko'u kiaha; Ke hoomau mai nei oe i ko'u pauku.
6 Yahweh has given me a wonderful place in which to live; I am delighted with all the things that he has given me [MET].
Ua lilo mai na palena ia'u i kahi e mahalo ai; Oiaio, ua ili mai ia'u ka aina maikai.
7 I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches/disciplines me; even at night [he] you put in my mind what is right for me to do.
E hoomaikai aku au ia Iehova, nana ka olelo i haawi mai ia'u, Ua ao mai hoi ia'u ko'u mau puupaa i na po.
8 I know that Yahweh is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will (perturb me/cause me to be worried).
Ke waiho mau nei no au ia Iehova imua o ko'u alo: Oia ma ko'u lima akau, nolaila au e kulanalana ole ai.
9 Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
Nolaila ko'u naau o hauoli nei, a e olioli nei ko'u nani, Oiaio, e hoomaha hoi ko'u kino me ka manaolana.
10 because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there. (Sheol h7585)
No ka mea, aole oe e haalele i ko'u uhane i ka malu o ka make, Aole hoi oe e waiho iho i kou mea hoano a ike i ka palaho. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will show me the road that leads to [receiving eternal] life, and you will make me joyful when I am with you. I will have pleasure forever when I am (at your right hand/seated next to you).
E hoike mai no oe ia'u i ke kuamoo e ola'i; Ina no ma kou alo ka nui wale o ka olioli; Ma kou lima akau ka hauoli mau loa.
