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 had 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;
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 is my rock, in him will I trust — My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge, My saviour: thou wilt 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 to be praised; So shall I be saved from mine 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, Torrents of Belial made me afraid.
The bands of Sheol surrounded me; The cords of death encountered 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, And I cried 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 quaked; The foundations of the heavens trembled And shook because he was wroth.
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 burned forth from it.
10 Hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la, Malalo ae o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
And he bowed the heavens, and came down; And 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 did fly; And 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 round about him a tent, Gatherings of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13 Noloko o ka olinolino imua ona, ua kuniia na lanahu ahi.
From the brightness before him Burned forth coals of fire.
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 the heavens, 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 arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; 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.
And the beds of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At 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 reached forth from above, he took me, He drew me out of great 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 them that hated me; For they were mightier than I.
19 Haule mai la lakou maluna o'u i ko'u la popilikia, Aka, ua kokua mai o Iehova ia'u.
They encountered me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
20 Lawe ae la hoi oia ia'u i kahi akea; Hoopakele ae la ia ia'u, no kona makemake mai ia'u.
And he brought me forth 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 hath rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed 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 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.
And I was upright before him, And kept myself from mine 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.
And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his sight.
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 gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; With the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
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 dost shew thyself pure; And with the perverse thou dost shew 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 dost save; And thine eyes are upon the haughty, [whom] thou bringest 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 art my lamp, Jehovah; And Jehovah enlighteneth 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 have run through a troop; By my God have I leaped 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 that trust in him.
32 Owai la ke Akua ke ole o Iehova? Owai hoi ka pohaku ke ole ko kakou Akua?
For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save 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 maketh my way perfectly smooth.
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 maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], And setteth 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 teacheth my hands to war, And mine 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.
And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, And thy condescending gentleness hath 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 enlargedst my steps under me; And mine ankles did not slip.
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 pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them, And I turned not 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 have crushed them, and they rose not again; Yea, they fell 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.
And thou girdedst me with strength to battle: Thou didst subdue under me those that 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.
And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, And those that hated me I destroyed.
42 Leha ae lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole nae ia i hoolohe mai.
They looked, and there was none to save — Unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
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.
And I did beat them small as the dust of the earth, I trod them as the mire of the streets; I stamped upon them.
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.
And thou hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, Thou hast kept me to be head of the nations: A people I knew not doth 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.
Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the ear, they obey me.
46 E mae aku no na kanaka e, E makau hoi lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
Strangers have faded away, And they come trembling forth from their close 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 liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the 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.
The God who hath avenged me, And hath brought the 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.
He brought me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; From the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
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 will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing psalms 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.
[It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, And sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, To David, and to his seed for evermore.
