Psalms 44
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah. A maschil. We have heard with our ears, God, our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
E KE Akua, ua lohe makou me ko makou mau pepeiao, Ua hai mai ko makou mau makua ia makou, I na hana au i hana'i i ko lakou mau la, i na wa kahiko.
2 You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted our people; you afflicted the peoples, but you spread our people out in the land.
Kipaku aku la oe i na lahuikanaka me kou lima, a hookomo mai ia lakou la; Hoopilikia iho la oe i na kanaka a kiola aku la:
3 For they did not obtain the land for their possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
No ka mea, aole me ka lakou pahikaua iho i loaa ai ia lakou ka aina; Aole hoi no ko lakou lima ponoi i hoola iho ia lakou iho: Aka, o kou peahi akau, a me kou lima, a me ka malamalama o kou maka; No ka mea, ua lokomaikai mai oe ia lakou.
4 God, You are my King; command victory for Jacob.
O oe no ko'u Alii, e ke Akua; E kauoha mai i ka hoola ana ia Iakoba.
5 Through you we will push down our adversaries; through your name we will tread them under, those who rise up against us.
Ma ou la e pahu aku ai makou i ko makou poe enemi: Ma kou inoa e hehi iho ai makou i ka poe ku e iluna ia makou.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
No ka mea, aole ma kuu kakaka e hilinai aku ai au: Aole hoi e hoola mai ka'u pahikaua ia'u.
7 But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have put to shame those who hate us.
Aka, nau no makou i hoopakele i ko makou poe enemi, A ua hoohoka oe i ka poe i inaina mai ia makou.
8 In God we have made our boast all the day long, and we will give thanks to your name forever. (Selah)
Iloko o ke Akua e kaena ai makou a po ka la, A e hoomaikai mau loa aku i kou inoa. (Sila)
9 But now you have thrown us off and brought us dishonor, and you do not go out with our armies.
Aka, ua haalele ae nei oe a ua hoohilahila ia makou; Aole hoi oe i hele pu me ko makou poe kaua.
10 You make us turn back from the adversary; and those who hate us take spoil for themselves.
A ua hoohuli oe ia makou i hope mai ka enemi mai; A o ka poe hoowahawaha ia makou, ua hao mai lakou no lakou iho.
11 You have made us like sheep to be slaughtered and have scattered us among the nations.
Ua haawi oe ia makou me he mau hipa la e lilo i ai; Ua hoopuehu hoi ia makou iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
12 You sell your people for nothing; you have not increased your wealth by doing so.
Ua kuai hoolilo aku oe i kou poe kanaka no ka mea ole, Aole hoi i hoomahuahua ma ka uku no lakou.
13 You make us a rebuke to our neighbors, scoffed and mocked by those around us.
Ua waiho oe ia makou he mea e hoinoia iwaena o ko makou poe hoanoho, He mea e hoowahawaha ai a e henehene ai no ka poe e hoopuni ana ia makou.
14 You make us an insult among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
Ua hoolilo oe ia makou i huaolelo ino, A i luli poo ana iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
15 All the day long my dishonor is before me, and the shame of my face has covered me
E mau ana ko'u hoinoia imua o ko'u maka; A ua uhi mai ka hilahila o ko'u maka ia'u:
16 because of the voice of him who rebukes and insults, because of the enemy and the avenger.
No ka leo o ka mea i hailiili a i hoino wale mai; No ka enemi hoi a me ka mea hoopai.
17 All this has come on us; yet we have not forgotten you or dealt falsely with your covenant.
Ua pau ia mea i ke kau mai maluna o makou, Aole hoi makou i hoopoina ia oe; Aole hoi i hoopunipuni makou ma kou berita.
18 Our heart has not turned back; our steps have not gone from your way.
Aole i hoohuliia ko makou naau, Aole hoi i kapae ae ko makou mau kapuwai mai kou aoao ae;
19 Yet you have severely broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death.
Ua hanapepe loa oe ia makou ma kahi nahesa; A ua hoouhi mai oe ia makou me ka malu o ka make.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a strange god,
Ina i hoopoina makou i ka inoa o ko makou Akua, Ina i kikoo aku ko makou mau lima i kahi akua wahahee;
21 would not God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
Aole anei i imi ke Akua ia mea? No ka mea, ua ike oia i na mea huna o ka naau.
22 Indeed, for your sake we are being killed all day long; we are considered to be sheep for the slaughter.
Oiaio, nou makou i pepehiia'i a po ka la; Ua manaoia makou me he mau hipa la e hoomakeia.
23 Awake, why do you sleep, Lord? Arise, do not throw us off permanently.
E ala'e, o ke aha kou mea e hiamoe ai, e ka Haku? E ku mai hoi iluna, mai haalele mai ia makou a mau loa.
24 Why do you hide your face and forget our affliction and our oppression?
No ke aha la i huna ai oe i kou maka? A i hoopoina hoi i ko makou popilikia, a me ko makou hooluhihewaia?
25 For we have melted away into the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
No ka mea, ua kulou iho ko makou uhane i ka lepo; Ua pili ko makou opu i ka honua.
26 Rise up for our help and redeem us for the sake of your covenant faithfulness.
E ku mai oe e kokua no makou, A e hoola ia makou no kou aloha.
