Psalms 81
1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
E HOOKANI olioli oukou i ke Akua, i ko kakou ikaika: E hooho hauoli i ke Akua o Iakoba.
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
E hookiekie i ke mele ana, a e ho mai hoi i ka pahu kani, A me ka lira oluolu, a me ka violaumi.
3 Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
E puhi oukou i ka pu i ka mahina hou, A i ka mahina poepoe hoi no ka la ahaaina.
4 For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the God of Jacob.
No ka mea, he olelo paa keia no ka Iseraela, O ke kanawai hoi o ke Akua o ka Iakoba.
5 This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language [that] I understood not.
Kau no oia i keia i kanawai no ka Iosepa, Ia ia i hele aku ai iwaena o Aigupita; A lohe no hoi au i ka olelo maopopo ole ia'u.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
Hoopakele ae la au i kona poohiwi i ke kaumaha; Hoopakeleia no hoi kona mau lima i na ipu.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
I ka popilikia, kahea mai oe, a hoopakele aku ai ia oe; A pane aku la au ma kahi malu o ka hekili: Hoao aku au ia oe ma na wai o Meriba.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee; O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me;
E hoolohe mai, e ko'u poe kanaka, a e ao aku au ia oe; Ina e hoolohe mai oe ia'u, e ka Iseraela;
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
Mai noho ke akua e ae me oe, Mai kulou hoi imua o ke akua e ae.
10 I [am] the LORD thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Owau no o Iehova, kou Akua, Nana oe i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai; E hoohamama i kou waha, a na'u ia e hoopiha ai.
11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would not obey me.
Aole nae i hoolohe ko'u poe kanaka i ko'u leo; Aole hoi i makemake mai o ka Iseraela ia'u.
12 So I gave them up to their own hearts lust: [and] they walked in their own counsels.
Alaila, haawi aku la au ia lakou i ka paakiki o ko lakou naau; A hele hoi lakou ma ko lakou manao iho.
13 O that my people had hearkened to me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways!
Ina i hoolohe ko'u poe kanaka ia'u, Ina i hele o ka Iseraela ma ko'u aoao!
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
Ina ua hoohaahaa koke aku au i ko lakou poe enemi, A ua huli ku e hoi kou lima i ka poe i huhu mai ia lakou:
15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves to him: and their time should have endured for ever.
Ina ua huli mai hoi ka poe i huhu ia Iehova, A ua mau loa no ko lakou manawa.
16 He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock I should have satisfied thee.
Ina ua hanai aku oia ia lakou i ka palaoa maikai; A ua hoomaona hoi au ia oe i ka meli mailoko mai o ka pohaku.
