Psalms 41
1 Yahweh is pleased with those people who help to provide for the poor; he will rescue those people when they have troubles.
POMAIKAI ke kanaka i manao i ka popilikia: E hoakea mai o Iehova ia ia i ka wa ino.
2 Yahweh protects them and allows them to live [for a long time]. He enables them to be happy in the land [of Israel], and rescues them from their enemies.
E hoomalu mai o Iehova a e hoomau i kona ola; A e hoopomaikaiia no ia maluna o ka honua; Aole hoi oe e haawi ia ia i ka makemake o kona poe enemi.
3 When they are sick, Yahweh strengthens them, and he heals them.
E hooikaika mai no hoi o Iehova ia ia maluna o kahi moe e nawaliwali ai: E pau no hoi ia oe kona moena i ka koomakaukauia i kona mai ana.
4 [When I was sick], I said, “Yahweh, be merciful to me and heal me; [I know that I am sick because] I have sinned against you.”
I aku la au, E Iehova, e aloha mai ia'u; E hoola i kuu uhane, no ka mea, ua hana hewa aku au ia oe.
5 My enemies say cruel things about me; they say, “How soon will he die, and then everyone will forget about him [MTY]? (OR, he will not have [any descendants to continue] his name).”
Ke olelo hewa nei ko'u poe enemi no'u; Ahea la e make ia, a e lilo kona inoa?
6 When my enemies come to me, they falsely say that they [are concerned about me]. They listen to bad news about (me/my health). Then they go away and tell everywhere what is happening to me.
Ina i hele mai ia e ike mai, Ua olelo no ia ma ka lapuwale; Houluulu hoi kona naau i ka hewa nona iho; A puka ia iwaho, hai aku la no ia.
7 All those who hate me whisper to others about me, and they hope/desire that very bad things will happen to me.
Hawanawana ku e pu mai ia'u na mea a pau i inaina mai ia'u; Kukakuka ku e mai lakou i ka hewa no'u.
8 They say, “He will soon die because of his being sick; he will never get up from his bed [before he dies].”
He mea ino ka i pili loa ia ia: A ke moe ia ia, aole e ala hou ae.
9 Even my best friend, whom I trusted very much, who [often] ate with me, has (betrayed me/put me into my enemies’ hands) [IDM].
Oiaio, o ko'u hoaaloha a'u i hilinai aku ai, Ka mea i ai i ka'u berena, Oia ka i hapai ku e i kona kuekue wawae ia'u.
10 But Yahweh, be merciful to me, and enable me to become healthy [again]. When you do that, I will be able to (pay back my enemies/get revenge on my enemies/cause my enemies to suffer like they caused me to suffer).
Aka, e aloha mai oe, e Iehova, ia'u; E hooku hou ia'u iluna e uku aku au ia lakou.
11 [If you enable me to] do that, with the result that my enemies do not defeat me, I will know that you are pleased with me.
Ma keia mea i ike ai au i kou lokomaikai ana mai ia'u: No ka mea, aole i hooho olioli ko'u enemi maluna o'u.
12 [I will know that] it is because I have done what is right that you have helped me, and [I will know that] you will let me be with you forever.
A owau nei la, ke hooku paa nei oe ia'u i ko'u pono, Ke hoonoho mau ia'u imua o ko'u alo.
13 Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship]; Praise him forever! Amen! I desire that it will be so!
E hoomaikai mau ia'ku o Iehova ke Akua o Iseraela, Mai ke ao kumu ole, a i ke ao pau ole. Amene, Amene.
