Psalms 37
1 By David. Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
MAI ukiuki oe no ka poe hana hewa; Aole hoi e huahua i na mea lawehala.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
No ka mea, e oki koke ia lakou e like me ka mauu, A e mae hoi e like me ka laauikiai maka.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
E hilinai aku ia Iehova, a e hana i ka pono; A e noho no oe ma ka aina, a e hanai io ia'ku oe.
4 Also delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
E hauoli hoi oe ia Iehova, A e haawi mai no ia nou i ka makemake o kou naau:
5 Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
Hookaa aku i kou aoao ia Iehova; E hilinai aku hoi ia ia. a nana no hoi e hana.
6 he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.
A e hoopuka mai hoi oia i kou pono e like me ka malamalama, A me kou hooponoponoia e like me ka la ku pono.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
E noho malie ia Iehova, a e kali ahonui ia ia; Mai noho a ukiuki no ke kanaka e pookeokeo ana i kona aoao iho, No ke kanaka e hana ana ma na manao hewa.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.
E waiho i ka huhu, e haalele hoi i ka inaina; Mai nauki iki e hana hewa ai.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
No ka mea, e okiia'ku ka poe hana hewa; Aka, o ka poe manaolana ia Iehova, e loaa ia lakou ka honua.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.
A liuliu iki aku, aole ka mea lawehala; Oiaio, e hoomanao ikaika oe i kona wahi, aole hoi ia.
11 But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Aka, e loaa ka honua i ka poe hoohaahaa; He hauoli lakou i ka pomaikai nui wale.
12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.
Kukakuka ku e ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A nau iho la me kona mau niho ia ia.
13 The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
E akaaka mai no nae ka Haku ia ia; No ka mea, ua ike oia i ke kokoke ana mai o kona la.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright on the path.
Ua unuhi ae la ka poe hewa i ka pahikaua, Ua lena hoi i ka lakou kakaka, E hoolilo i ka poe ilihune a me ka poe haahaa, A e hoomake hoi i ka poe e hele pono ana.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.
E komo no ko lakou pahikaua i ko lakou naau iho; A e uhakiia ka lakou kakaka.
16 Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
Ua oi aku ka waiwai uuku o ke kanaka pono Mamna o ka waiwai nui o ka poe hewa he nui.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
No ka mea, e uhakiia na lima o ka poe hewa; Aka, e hookupaa iho o Iehova i ka poe pono.
18 The LORD knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
Ua ike o Iehova i na la o ka poe ku pono; A e mau loa ana no hoi ko lakou hooilina.
19 They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Aole lakou e hoka i ka manawa ino; A i ke kau wi e maona no lakou.
20 But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of the LORD shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke.
Aka, e make no ka poe hewa, A e like auanei oa enemi o Iehova me'ka momona o na keikihipa; E pau lakou i ke ahi, e lilo lakou i uahi.
21 The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously.
Ua noi e lawe iki ka mea hewa i ka hai. aole nae i hoihoi mai: Aka e lokomaikai aka ka mea pono, a haawi wale aku no.
22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
Nolaila o ka poe hoomaikaiia e ia e loaa ia lakou ka honua; Aka, o ka poe i hoinoia e ia e okiia lakou.
23 A man’s steps are established by the LORD. He delights in his way.
Ua hooku pono ia e Iehova na kapuwai o ke kanaka pono; Oluolu mai no oia i kona hele ana.
24 Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for the LORD holds him up with his hand.
Ina e hina ia aole ia e hoohiolo loa ia: No ka mea, ua hookupaa o Iehova ia ia me kona lima.
25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
Opiopio aku la au, a ua elemakule ae nei, Aole hoi au i ike i ka mea pono i haaleleia, Aole hoi i kana hua e makilo berena ana.
26 All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His offspring is blessed.
He aloha mau kona, a ua haawi aka no; Pomaikai no hoi kana hua.
27 Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
E haalele i ka hewa, a e hana i ka pono; A e noho mau loa aku.
28 For the LORD loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
No ka mea, ua makemake no Iehova i ka hoopono ana: Aole ia i haalele i kona poe haipule; E hoomalu mau loa ia hoi lakou; Aka, e okiia ka hua a ka poe hewa.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.
E loaa ka aina i ka poe pono, A e noho mau lakou ilaila.
30 The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.
Ua olelo ka waha o ka mea pono ma ka naauao; A ua kamailio kona alelo ma ka hoopono ana.
31 The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
Maloko o kona naau ke kanawai o kona Akua; Aole kapuwai ona e kapeke ai.
32 The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to kill him.
Kiai ka mea hewa i ka mea pono, A imi hoi ia e hoomake ia ia.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Aole e waiho mai o Iehova ia ia iloko o kona lima, Aole hoi e hoahewa ia ia i kona wa e hookolokoloia'i.
34 Wait for the LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
E hilinai aku ia Iehova, a e malama i kona aoao: A e hookiekie oia ia oe e komo i ka aina; Aia okiia ka poe hewa, e ike ako no oe ia.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
Ua ike aku au i ke kanaka hewa e weliweli ai, E hoopalahalaha ana ia ia iho e like me ka laau uliuli i kona wahi iho.
36 But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Aka, ua hala aku la ia aia hoi, aole iho la ia; Oiaio, imi aku la au ia ia, aole hoi ia i loaa.
37 Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
E noonoo i ke kanaka hemolele, E nana hoi i ka mea kupono: No ka mea, o ka hope o ua kanaka la, he pomaikai no ia.
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
Aka, e luku pu ia ka poe lawehala; A o ka hope o ka poe hewa, e okiia no ia.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
Aka, no Iehova mai ke ola o ka poe pono: Oia ko lakou ikaika i ka wa popilikia.
40 The LORD helps them and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
A e kokua mai o Iehova ia lakou, a e hoakea mai ia lakou, E hoopakele oia ia lakou i ka poe hewa, A e hoola ia lakou. no ko lakou hilinai ana ia ia.
