< Psalms 90 >

1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou — Thou hast been, To us — in generation and generation,
E KA Haku, he puuhonua no oe no makou i kela hanauna i keia hanauna.
2 Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God.
Mamua aku o ka hanau ana o na mauna, A me kou hoomaka ana i ka honua a me ke ao nei, O oe no ke Akua, mai kahiko loa mai, a mau loa aku no.
3 Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.
Ke hoihoi aku nei oe i ke kanaka i ka lepo; A olelo mai no hoi, E hoi oukou, e na keiki a kanaka.
4 For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
No ka mea, o na makahiki he tausani imua o kou mau maka, Ua like no me ka la inehinei i hala aku la, Me he kiai la hoi o ka po.
5 Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.
Hookahe aku no oe ia lakou, he hiamoe no lakou; I ke kakahiaka kupu mai no ia me he mauu la.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
Pua mai no ia i ke kakahiaka a mohala iho, A i ke ahiahi ua okiia ia ilalo a mae wale iho la.
7 For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.
No ka mea, ua hoopauia makou i kou huhu, Ua oki loa hoi makou i kou inaina.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,
Ua kau no oe i ko makou hewa imua ou, A mo ka makou mea malu, ma ka malamalama o kou maka.
9 For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
No ka mea, i kou huhu, ua hala'e ko makou mau la a pau; Ke hoopau nei makou i ko makou mau makahiki me he manao la.
10 Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.
O na la o ko makou mau makahiki. He kanahiku, makahiki iloko o laila; Aka, ina no ka ikaika he kanawalu makahiki lakou, Alaila, o ko lakou ikaika, he luhi wale no ia, a me ke kaumaha; No ka mea, hooki koke ia ia, a lele aku la makou.
11 Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear — Thy wrath?
Owai ka mea i ike i ka ikaika o kou huhu? No ka mea, e like me ka makau ia oe, pela no kou ukiuki mai.
12 To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
E ao mai oe i ka helu i ko makou mau la, I komo mai ai ke akamai iloko o ko makou naau.
13 Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.
E hoi mai oe, e Iehova, pehea la ka loihi? A e minamina mai hoi i kau poe kauwa.
14 Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
E hoomaona koke mai oe ia makou i ka lokomaikai, I hauoli ai makou, a olioli hoi i ko makou mau la a pau.
15 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
E hoohauoli mai oe ia makou, e like me na la o kou hoopilikia ana ia makou, A me na makahiki hoi a makou i ike ai i ka hewa.
16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
E hoike mai oe i kau hana i kau poe kauwa, A me kou hanohano hoi i ka lakou poe keiki.
17 And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!
E hoonoho mai maluna o makou i ke aloha o Iehova ko makou Akua: E hoopaa mai oe i ka hana a ko makou lima me makou; Oia, o ka hana a ko makou mau lima, e hoopaa mai oe ia.
