II Samuela 22
1 OLELO aku la o Davida ia Iehova i na huaolelo o keia mele, i ka la a Iehova i hoopakele ae ia ia mai ka lima aku o kona poe enemi a pau, a mai ka lima aku hoi o Saula.
And David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 I aku la ia, O Iehova no kuu pohaku, kuu pakaua, a me kuu hoola;
And he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine.
3 O ke Akua o ko'u pohaku, e paulele aku au maluna ona; Oia ko'u palekaua, a me ka pepeiaohao o ko'u ola; Oia ko'u halekiai kiekie, o kuu puuhonua, a me kuu hoola; Ke hoola mai nei oe ia'u, i ke koloheia.
God, my rock, in him I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior. Thou save me from violence.
4 E hea aku no wau ia Iehova, ka mea pono ke hoonaniia'ku: Pela no wau e hoopakeleia mai ai i ko'u poe enemi.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised. So I shall be saved from my enemies.
5 Hoopuni mai la na ale o ka make ia'u, Hooweliweli mai la ka waikahe o ka poe aia ia'u;
For the waves of death encompassed me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
The cords of Sheol were round about me. The snares of death came upon me. (Sheol h7585)
7 I ko'u popilikia, kahea aku la au ia Iehova. Uwe aku la hoi au i ko'u Akua; A lohe mai la kela i ko'u leo mai kona luakini mai, A komo aku la hoi ko'u kahea ana iloko o kona mau pepeiao.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah. Yea, I called to my God. And he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came into his ears.
8 Alaila nauwe iho la ka honua me ka haalulu; Nee aku la na kumu o na lani, A nauwewe ae la hoi no kona inaina.
Then the earth shook and trembled, the foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
9 Pukoa ae la ka uahi mailoko ae o kona mau pukaihu, Mai loko aku o kona waha i ai aku ai ke ahi: Ua kukuniia na lanahu e ia.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
10 Hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la, Malalo ae o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.
11 Holo ae la kela maluna o kekahi keruba, a lele ae la no hoi ia; Ua ikea no hoi oia maluna o na eheu o ka makani.
And he rode upon a cherub, and flew. Yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 O ka pouli i puni mai ia ia, oia kana i hoolilo ai i wahi noho nona, O na wai akoakoa i na ao eleele o ka lani.
And he made darkness pavilions round about him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13 Noloko o ka olinolino imua ona, ua kuniia na lanahu ahi.
At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled.
14 Hoohekili mai la o Iehova mai ka lani mai, A hoopoha mai la hoi ka Mea kiekie loa i kona leo.
Jehovah thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
15 Pana mai la ia i na pua, a hoopuehu ia lakou, I na uila hoi a hooauhee aku la ia lakou.
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them, lightning, and discomfited them.
16 Alaila ua ikea na kaha o ke kai, Ua hoikeia mai no hoi na kumu o ka honua, I ka papa ana mai o Iehova, I ka nou ana mai o ka hanu o kona mau puka ihu.
Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 Kii mai la oia mai luna mai, lalau mai la ia'u; Unuhi ae la hoi ia'u mailoko mai o na wai nui:
He sent from on high, he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
18 Hoopakele ae hoi oia ia'u i ko'u enemi ikaika, A me ka poe i inaina mai ia'u: No ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19 Haule mai la lakou maluna o'u i ko'u la popilikia, Aka, ua kokua mai o Iehova ia'u.
They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my support.
20 Lawe ae la hoi oia ia'u i kahi akea; Hoopakele ae la ia ia'u, no kona makemake mai ia'u.
He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 Uku mai la o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono: Ua hoihoi mai oia ia'u e like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima.
Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
22 No ka mea, ua malama aku au i na aoao o Iehova, Aole hoi au i hele hewa aku mai ko'u Akua aku.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 Mamua hoi o'u kana mau olelo hoopono a pau; Aole hoi au i haalele aku i kana mau kauoha.
For all his ordinances were before me. And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 Ua kupono hoi au imua ona, A ua malama au ia'u iho i kuu hewa.
I was also perfect toward him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Nolaila i uku mai ai o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono; E like me ko'u maemae ana imua o kona mau maka.
Therefore Jehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his eyesight.
26 I ka mea lokomaikai e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he lokomaikai; I ke kanaka hoopono e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he pono.
With the merciful thou will show thyself merciful. With the perfect man thou will show thyself perfect.
27 I ka mea maemae e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he maemae; A i ka mea hookekee e hoike mai no oe ia oe iho he oluolu ole.
With the pure thou will show thyself pure. And with the perverse thou will show thyself contrary.
28 E hoola auanei oe i ka poe i hooluhiia; Aka, ke nana mai nei kou mau maka i ka poe hookiekie, e hoohaahaa iho ai.
And the afflicted people thou will save, but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou may bring them down.
29 No ka mea, o oe no ko'u kukui, e Iehova: A e hoomalamalama mai no o Iehova i ko'u pouli.
For thou are my lamp, O Jehovah. And Jehovah will lighten my darkness.
30 Ma ou la wau i wahi ae i ka poe kaua; Ma ko'u Akua wau i lehai aku ai maluna o ka pa pohaku.
For by thee I run upon a troop. By my God do I leap over a wall.
31 A o ke Akua, ua hemolele kona aoao; Ua maemae ka olelo a Iehova; He palekaua ia no ka poe a pau e paulele maluna ona.
As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Jehovah is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
32 Owai la ke Akua ke ole o Iehova? Owai hoi ka pohaku ke ole ko kakou Akua?
For who is God, except Jehovah? And who is a rock, except our God?
33 O ke Akua no ko'u ikaika a me ko'u mana; Ke hoopololei nei oia i ko'u alanui.
God is my strong fortress, and he guides the perfect in his way.
34 Ke hoomama nei oia i ko'u mau wawae e like me na wawae dia; Me ka hoonoho ia'u ma ko'u mau wahi kiekie.
He makes his feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.
35 Ke ao mai nei oia i kuu mau lima e kaua; I uhaiia'i e ko'u lima ke kakaka keleawe.
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.
36 Ua haawi mai hoi oe i kou paku e ola'i; A o kou ahonui ka i hoonui mai ia'u.
Thou have also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy gentleness has made me great.
37 Ua hooakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u: Aole hoi i pahee ko'u mau wawae.
Thou have enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
38 Ua alualu aku au i ko'u poe enemi, A ua luku aku au ia lakou; Aole au i hoi mai a pau e lakou ia'u i ka make.
I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them, neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
39 Hoopau aku la au ia lakou, me ka pepehi iho; Aole i hiki ia lakou ke ku ae: Aia, ua hina lakou malalo iho o ko'u mau wawae.
And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise. Yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 Ua kakoo mai oe ia'u i ka ikaika e kaua ai; Ua hookulou iho oe malalo o'u i ka poe i ku e mai ia'u.
For thou have girded me with strength to the battle. Thou have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
41 Ua haawi mai oe ia'u i na a-i o ko'u poe enemi, I luku aku ai au i ka poe inaina mai ia'u.
Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
42 Leha ae lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole nae ia i hoolohe mai.
They looked, but there was none to save; even to Jehovah, but he did not answer them.
43 Alaila pakuikui aku au ia lakou a okaoka me he lepo la o ka honua. A hehi iho la au ia lakou a like me ka nenelu o ke alanui; A hoopepe iho la au ia lakou.
Then I beat them small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
44 Ua hoopakele mai hoi oe ia'u i ka paio ana o ko'u poe kanaka, Ua malama mai oe ia'u i poo no na kanaka e: E hookauwa mai na'u ka lahuikanaka a'u i ike ole ai.
Thou have also delivered me from the strivings of my people. Thou have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
45 E hoolohe mai no auanei ia'u na kanaka e, I ka lohe o ka pepeiao, e malama koke mai no lakou ia'u.
The foreigners shall submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.
46 E mae aku no na kanaka e, E makau hoi lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their hiding places.
47 Ke ola nei o Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku; E hapaiia'ku hoi ke Akua o kuu pohaku e ola'i.
Jehovah lives. And blessed be my rock. And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
48 O ke Akua ke hoopai aku no'u, Me ka hoolilo i na kanaka malalo iho o'u.
Even the God who executes vengeance for me, and who brings down peoples under me,
49 Oia ke hoopakele ia'u i ko'u poe enemi: Oia hoi ka i hookiekie ae ia'u maluna o ka poe i ku e mai ia'u; Ua hoola mai oe ia'u i ke kanaka hoino.
and who brings me forth from my enemies. Yea, thou lift me up above those who rise up against me. Thou deliver me from the violent man.
50 Nolaila au e hoalohaloha aku ai ia oe, e Iehova, mawaena o na kanaka e. E mele hoomaikai aku au i kou inoa.
Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among gentiles, and will sing praises to thy name.
51 Oia ka halekiai no kana alii: Ua aloha mai ia i kana mea poni, Ia Davida me kana poe mamo, a mau loa aku.
He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
