Psalms 9
1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
E HOONANI aku au ia oe, e Iehova, me ko'u naau a pau; E heluhelu aku au i kau mau hana kupaianaha a pau.
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
E olioli no au, a e hauoli no hoi ia oe: E hoolea aku hoi au i kou inoa, e ke Mea Kiekie loa.
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
I ka hoi hope ana o ko'u poe enemi, E haule no lakou a make ma kou alo.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Ua hoopono mai oe ia'u, ua hooko mai oe i ko'u, Ua noho oe ma ka nohoalii e hoopai pololei ana.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Ua papa oe i na lahuikanaka e; Ua luku iho no hoi oe i ka poe hewa; Ua hokai mau loa oe i ko lakou inoa i ka wa pau ole.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
A o ka enemi, ua pau ia i ka make mau loa; Ua pau ua kulanakauhale ia oe i ka lukuia; Ua lilo hoi ko lakou kaulana i ka make.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Aka, o mau loa ana no o Iehova: Ua hoomakaukau oia i kona nohoalii no ka hookolokolo ana.
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
E hookolokolo mai no ia i ko ke ao nei ma ka pono; E hoopai mai no ia i kanaka me ka ewaewa ole.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
E lilo ana no o Iehova i puuhonua no ka poe i hooluhihewaia, I mea e pakele ai i ka manawa popilikia.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
O ka poe i ike i kou inoa e hilinai aku lakou ia oe; O ka poe i imi aku ia oe, aole oe, e Iehova, i haalele ia lakou.
11 Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.
E hoolea aku ia Iehova i ka mea e noho ana ma Ziona: E hai aku iwaena o na kanaka i kana mau hana.
12 He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
A i imi mai oia i ke koko e hoopai mai, E manao mai no ia ia lakou; Aole oia i hoopoina i ka ulono ana a ka poe haahaa.
13 Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].
E aloha mai oe ia'u, e Iehova; E manao oe i ka hoino ana mai o ka poe inaina mai ia'u, O oe ka mea nana i hoala au mai ka puka mai o ka make;
14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
I hoike aku au i kou nani a pau, Ma na pukapahale o ke kaikamahine a Ziona; E hauoli no hoi au i kou ola.
15 [It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.
Ua poho ilalo ko na aina e i ka lua a lakou i hana'i, I ka upena a lakou i huna ai i hei ai ko lakou wawae.
16 Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
Ua ikea o Iehova, ua hana mai ia i ka pono; Ua punihei ka mea kolohe i ka hana a kona mau lima iho. (Hikaiona, Sila)
17 Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)
E auhulihia ka poe hewa ilalo i ka malu o ka make, A me na lahuikanaka a pau i hoopoina i ke Akua. (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
Aka, aole e hoopoina mau ia mai ka poe i hooluhiia, A o ka manaolana o ka ilihune aole loa ia e hoka.
19 Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.
E ku ae oe, e Iehova; mai lanakila kanaka; E hookolokoloia mai na lahuikanaka imua o kou alo.
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
E hooweliweli mai oe ia lakou, e Iehova: I ike pono ko na aina, he mau kanaka wale no lakou. (Sila)
