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 the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day that the Lord 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: The Lord is my rock, and my strength, and my saviour.
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 strong one, in him will I trust: my shield, and the horn of my salvation: he lifteth me up, and is my refuge: my saviour, thou wilt deliver me from iniquity.
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 on the Lord who is worthy to be praised: and 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 pangs of death have surrounded me: the floods of Belial have made me afraid.
The cords of hell compassed me: the snares of death prevented 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 will call upon the Lord, and I will cry to my God: and he will hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry shall come to 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.
The earth shook and trembled, the foundations of the mountains were moved, and shaken, because he was angry with them.
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.
A smoke went up from his nostrils, and a devouring fire out of his mouth: 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, 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 the cherubims, and flew: and slid 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.
He made darkness a covering round about him: dropping waters out of the clouds of the heavens.
13 Noloko o ka olinolino imua ona, ua kuniia na lanahu ahi.
By the brightness before him, the 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.
The Lord shall thunder from heaven: and the most high shall give forth his voice.
15 Pana mai la ia i na pua, a hoopuehu ia lakou, I na uila hoi a hooauhee aku la ia lakou.
He shot arrows and scattered them: lightning, and consumed 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 overflowings of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid open at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the spirit of his wrath.
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, and took me, and 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 most mighty enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 Haule mai la lakou maluna o'u i ko'u la popilikia, Aka, ua kokua mai o Iehova ia'u.
He prevented me in the day of my affliction, and the Lord became 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 I pleased him.
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.
The Lord will reward me according to my justice: and according to the cleanness of my hands he will render to 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.
Because I have kept the ways of the Lord, 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 judgments are in my sight: and his precepts I have not removed from me.
24 Ua kupono hoi au imua ona, A ua malama au ia'u iho i kuu hewa.
And I shall be perfect with him: and shall keep 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.
And the Lord will recompense me according to my justice: and according to the cleanness of my hands in the sight of his eyes.
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 holy one thou wilt be holy: and with the valiant 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 elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.
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 poor people thou wilt save: and with thy eyes thou wilt humble the haughty.
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, O Lord: and thou, O Lord, wilt enlighten 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 in thee I will run girded: in my God I will leap over the 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.
God, his way is immaculate, the word of the Lord is tried by fire: he is the shield of all that trust in him.
32 Owai la ke Akua ke ole o Iehova? Owai hoi ka pohaku ke ole ko kakou Akua?
Who is God but the Lord: and who is strong but our God?
33 O ke Akua no ko'u ikaika a me ko'u mana; Ke hoopololei nei oia i ko'u alanui.
God who hath girded me with strength, and made my way perfect.
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.
Making my feet like the feet of harts, and setting 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 bands to war: and maketh my arms like 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 hast given me the shield of my salvation: and thy mildness hath multiplied me.
37 Ua hooakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u: Aole hoi i pahee ko'u mau wawae.
Thou shalt enlarge my steps under me: and my ankles shall not fail.
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 will pursue after my enemies, and crush them: and will not return again till I consume them.
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.
I will consume them and break them in pieces, so that they shall not rise: they shall fall 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.
Thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast made them that resisted me to bow under 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.
My enemies thou hast made to turn their back to me: them that hated me, and I shall destroy them.
42 Leha ae lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole nae ia i hoolohe mai.
They shall cry, and there shall be none to save: to the Lord, and he shall not hear 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.
I shall beat them as small as the dust of the earth: I shall crush them and spread them abroad like the mire of the streets.
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 wilt save me from the contradictions of my people: thou wilt keep me to be the head of the Gentiles: the people which I know not, 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 sons of the stranger will resist me, at the hearing of the ear they will obey me.
46 E mae aku no na kanaka e, E makau hoi lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
The strangers are melted away, and shall be straitened in their distresses.
47 Ke ola nei o Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku; E hapaiia'ku hoi ke Akua o kuu pohaku e ola'i.
The Lord liveth, and my God is blessed: and the strong God of my salvation shall be exalted:
48 O ke Akua ke hoopai aku no'u, Me ka hoolilo i na kanaka malalo iho o'u.
God who giveth me revenge, and bringest down people 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.
Who bringest me forth from my enemies, and liftest me up from them that resist me: from the wicked man thou shalt deliver 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. O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing 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.
Giving great salvation to his king, and shewing mercy to David his anointed, and to his seed for ever.
