Psalms 66
1 [Tell] everyone on the earth that they should sing joyfully to praise God!
E HOOKANI olioli i ke Akua, e na aina a pau:
2 They should sing songs that say that God [MTY] is very great, and they should tell everyone that he is very glorious!
E himeni aku i ka nani o kona inoa: E hoolilo i ka hoolea nona i mea nani.
3 They should say to God, “The things that you do are awesome! You are very powerful, with the result that your enemies (cringe/bow down) in front of you.”
E olelo aku i ke Akua, Nani kou kupaianaha i kau hana aua! No ka nui o kou mana e hoolohe ai kou mau enemi ia oe.
4 Everyone on the earth [should] worship God and sing to praise him and honor him [MTY].
E pau ka honua i ka hoomana aku ia oe, me ke mele aku ia oe; E himeni aku lakou i kou inoa. (Sila)
5 Come and think about what God has done! Think about the awesome things that he has done.
E hele mai oukou e ike i na hana a ke Akua; He kupaianaha ia i kana hana ana no na keiki a kanaka.
6 He caused the [Red] Sea to become dry land, [with the result that our] ancestors were able to walk right through it. There we rejoiced because of what he [had done].
Hoolilo mai la oia i ke kai i aina maloo: Hele wawae ae la lakou iwaena o ka muliwai: Malaila kakou i hauoli aku ai ia ia.
7 By his great power he rules forever, and he keeps watching all the nations [to see what things they do], [so] those nations that want to rebel [against him] should not be proud.
Ma kona mana ua hoomalu mau loa oia; Ke nana mai nei kona mau maka i na lahuikanaka: Aole e hookiekie ae ka poe kipikipi. (Sila)
8 You people [of all nations], praise our God! Praise him loudly in order that people will hear you as you praise him.
E hoomaikai i ko kakou Akua, e na kanaka, E hooloheia'ku ka leo o ka hoolea nona:
9 He has kept us alive, and he has not allowed us to (stumble/be defeated).
Ka mea i hoomau i ko kakou uhane ma ke ola nei; Aole i kuu mai e kapeke ko kakou mau wawae.
10 God, you have tested us; you have allowed us to experience great difficulties [to make our lives become pure] as [people] put precious metals in a hot fire [to burn out what is impure] [MET].
No ka mea, ua hoao mai oe, e ke Akua, ia makou; Ua hoao mai oe ia makou me he kala la i hoaoia.
11 [It is as if] you allowed us to fall into traps [MET], and you [forced us to endure difficult things which were like] putting heavy loads on our backs [MET].
Ua hookomo oe ia makou i ka upena; Ua waiho mai oe i ka mea kaumaha ma ko makou mau puhaka.
12 You allowed [our] enemies to trample on us; we [experienced difficulties/troubles that were like] [MET] walking through fires and floods, but now you have brought us into a place where we have plenty.
Ua haawi mai oe, e hooholo na kanaka maluna o ko makou mau poo: Hele ae la makou iwaena o ke ahi a me ka wai: Aka, ua lawe mai oe ia makou ma kahi waiwai.
13 [Yahweh], I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned [on the altar]; I will offer to you what I promised.
E hele au iloko o kou hale me na mohaikuni: E hooko aku au nou i ka'u mau mea i hoohiki aku ai,
14 When I was experiencing [much] trouble, I said that I would bring offerings to you [if you rescued me]; [and you did rescue me, so] I will bring to you what I promised.
Ka mea a ko'u mau lehelehe i hoopuka aku ai; A me ko'u waha i olelo ai i kuu popilikia ana.
15 I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar, and I will [also] sacrifice bulls and goats, and when they are burning, [you will be pleased when] the smoke [rises up] ([to you/to the sky]).
E kaumaha aku au nou i na mohaikuni momona, Me ka mea ala o na hipa kane; E alana aku au i na bipi me na kao. (Sila)
16 All you [people] who revere God, come and listen, and I will tell you what he has done for me.
E hele mai e hoolohe, e ka poe a pau i weliweli i ke Akua, A e hai aku au i ka mea ana i hana mai ai no kuu uhane.
17 I called out to him to help me, and I praised him while I was speaking to him [MTY].
Ua kahea aku au ia ia me kuu waha, A ua hapaiia'ku hoi ia e ko'u alelo.
18 If I had ignored the sins that I had committed, the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.
Ina malama au i ka hewa ma ko'u naau, Aole e hoolohe mai ka Haku ia'u:
19 But because [I confessed my sins], God has listened to me and he paid attention to my prayers.
Aka, ua hoolohe io mai no ke Akua; Ua maliu mai i ka leo o ka'u pule.
20 I praise God because he has not ignored my prayers or stopped faithfully loving me.
E hoomaikaiia'ku ke Akua, Ka mea i hookapae ole i ka'u pule, A me kona aloha, mai o'u aku nei.
