Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?
E KO'U Akua, e ko'u Akua, no ke aha la oe i haalele mai ia'u? A i ole ai e kokua iki mai ia'u i ka leo o ko'u ulono ana?
2 My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.
E ko'u Akua e, ua kahea au i ke ao, aole nae oe i lohe mai; A i ka po hoi, aole i hoomaha iki.
3 But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
Aka, o oe ka mea hemolele, E noho ana iloko o ka Iseraela hoolea ana.
4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
Ua hilinai aku ko makou mau makua ia oe; Ua manaoio lakou, a nau no lakou i hoola
5 When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).
Ua kahea lakou ia oe, a ua hoolaia no hoi; Ua paulele lakou ia oe, aole hoi lakou i hoka,
6 But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.
Aka, he enuhe au, aole he kanaka; He mea hoinoia e ko ke ao nei, A i hoowahawahaia e na kanaka.
7 Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,
Ua hoomauakala mai ka poe a pau ke ike mai ia'u; Ua hooioi mai lakou i ka lehelehe me ka hooluli i ke poo,
8 “He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
I iho la, ua paulele aku la oia ia Iehova i ola oia ia ia, Nana no ia e hoola ke olioli mai oia ia ia.
9 [Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).
Nau no wau i hookaawale mai ka opu mai; Ua hoolana oe i ko'u manao ma na u o ko'u makuwahine.
10 [It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.
Ua waihoia'ku au maluna ou mai ka opu mai; Mai ka opu mai o ko'u makuwahine, o oe no ko'u Akua.
11 So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.
Mai hoomamao aku oe ia'u, ke kokoke mai nei ka popilikia; Aohe mea nana e kokua mai.
12 [My enemies] surround me [like] a herd/group of wild bulls. [Fierce people, like those] strong bulls that graze [on the hills] in Bashan [area], encircle me.
He nui na bipi kane i hoopuni mai ia'u; Ua puni au i na mea ikaika no Basana.
13 [They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].
Ua hamama mai la ko lakou mau waha ia'u E like me ka liona hae e uwo ana.
14 I am completely exhausted [MET], and all my bones are out of their joints/places. I [no longer expect that God will save me]; [that expectation is gone completely], like wax that has melted away.
Ua nininiia'ku au me he wai la, Ua pau ko'u mau iwi i ka haihai; Ua like ko'u puuwai me he pilali la: Ua hooheeia ia iwaena konu o ko'u mau naau.
15 My strength is [all dried up] [MET] like a broken piece of a clay jar that has dried [in the sun]. [I am so thirsty that] my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. O God, [I think that you are about to let] me die and become dirt!
Ua pau ko'u ikaika i ka maloo me he apana ipu lepo la; Ua pipili ko'u alelo i ko'u mau a; Ua hookomo oe ia'u iloko o ka lepo o ka make.
16 My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs. A group of evil men has encircled me, [ready to attack me]. They have [already] smashed my hands and my feet.
Ua hoopuni mai na ilio ia'u; Ua poaiia mai au e ke anaina kanaka hewa; Ua o mai lakou i ko'u mau lima a me ko'u mau wawae.
17 [I am so weak and thin that] my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and (gloat/are happy) about [what has happened to] me.
E hiki no ia'u ke helu i ko'u mau iwi a pau; Ua haka mai lakou ia'u me ka makahahi.
18 They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
Ua puunaue lakou i ko'u mau kapa no lakou; A o ko'u aahu ka lakou i hailona ai.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Aka, mai hoomamao aku oe ia'u, e Iehova; E ko'u Ikaika, e papaana mai oe e kokua mai ia'u.
20 Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
E hoopakele oe i ko'u uhane i ka pahikaua, I ko'u makamae hoi i ka lima o ka ilio.
21 Snatch me away from [my enemies who are] like lions whose jaws [are already open, ready to chew me up] Grab me away from [those men who are like] wild oxen [that attack other animals with] their horns [MET]!
E hoola mai oe ia'u i ka waha o ka liona; Ua lohe mai oe ia'u ma na hao o na reema.
22 [But you have saved me, so] I will declare to my fellow [Israelis] how great you [MTY] are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered [to worship you].
E hai aku no wau i kou inoa i ko'u mau hoahanau; E hoolea hoi au ia oe mawaena o ke anaina kanaka.
23 You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!
E ka poe makau ia Iehova, e hoolea oukou ia ia; E hoonani oukou ia ia, e na pua a pau a Iakoba; E hoomana imua ona, e na mamo a pau a Iseraela.
24 He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide (his face/himself) from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.
No ka mea, aole ia i hoowahawaha, aole hoi i hoaikola i ka poino o ka mea i hooluhiia; Aole ia i huna aku i kona maka ia ia; Aka, i kona kahea ana aku ia ia, ua hoolohe mai no ia.
25 Yahweh, in the great gathering [of your people], I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer [the sacrifices] that I promised.
Ia oe ko'u hoolea ana iwaena o ke anaina nui; E hooko aku au i ka'u i hoohiki ai, imua o ka poe weliweli ia ia.
26 The poor people [whom I have invited to the meal] will eat as much as they want. All who come worship Yahweh will praise him. I pray that [God will enable] you all to live a long and happy life!
E ai no ka poe akahai a maona: E hoolea aku no ia Iehova ka poe e imi ia ia; E ola mau loa ko oukou naau.
27 I pray that [people in all nations, even] in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him, and that people from all the clans in the world will bow down before him.
E hoomanao iho, a e huli mai no ia Iehova, na welelau a pau o ka honua; E pau no na ohana o na lahuikanaka i ka hoomana imua ou:
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
No ka mea, no Iehova ke aupuni; Oia hoi ke Alii iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
29 I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him. Some day they will die, but I want them to prostrate themselves on the ground in his presence [before they die].
E ai no me ka hoomana ka poe waiwai a pau ma ka honua: O ka poe a pau e iho ana i ka lepo, e kulou lakou imua ona: Aohe mea e hoola i kona uhane iho.
30 People (in the future generations/who have not been born yet) will also serve Yahweh. Our descendants will be told about what Yahweh [has done].
E malama no kekahi mau mamo ia ia; E kapaia lakou he hanauna no ka Haku.
31 People who are not yet born, [who will live in future years], will be told how Yahweh rescued his people. People will tell them, “Yahweh did it!”
E hele mai no lakou, e hai ana i kona pono I ka lahuikanaka e hanau ana, oia kana i hana'i.
