Halelu 10
1 NO ke aha la oe e ku ai i kahi loihi aku, e Iehova? A e huna ai ia oe iho i ka manawa popilikia?
Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2 O ka mea hewa, i kona hookano, Ua hoomaau mai oia i ka mea ilihune: E puni lakou i ka manao a lakou i noonoo ai.
Through the haughtiness of the wicked the poor are in distress; They are caught in the wiles which are contrived for them.
3 No ka mea, ua hookelakela ka mea hewa i ka makemake o kona naau, A i ke ko ana, ua hoomaikai, a ua hoowahawaha aku ia Iehova.
The wicked boasteth of his heart's desire; The rapacious renounceth and contemneth Jehovah.
4 O ka mea hewa, aole ia e pule, no ka haaheo o kona maka; Aole ke Akua i kona manao a pau.
The wicked [[saith]] in his haughtiness, “He careth not!” All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
5 Ua hewa mau kona mau aoao; O kau mau oihana, maluna lilo no ia aole ikea ia ia; A o kona mau enemi, ua puhi aku oia ia lakou.
His course is always prosperous; Far in the heights are thy judgments from him; As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 Ua olelo oia iloko o kona naau, Aole loa au e hoonaueia; Aole au e popilikia ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku.
He saith in his heart, “I shall never fall; I shall never be in adversity.”
7 Ua piha kona waha i ke amuamu, ka wahahee, a me ka hoopunipuni; Malalo ae o kona alelo ke kolohe a me ka mea lapuwale.
His mouth is full of perjury, deceit, and oppression; Mischief and injustice are upon his tongue.
8 Ua noho ia ma kahi hoomakaakiu o na kauhale; A i kahi nalowale i pepehi wale ai ia i ka mea hala ole; Ua haka malu aku kona mau maka i ka mea ilihune.
He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed upon the poor.
9 Kali malu iho la ia me he liona la iloko o kona lua: Moemoe malu ia e hopu i ka mea ilihune: Ua hoohei no oia ia ia i kona alakai ana ia ia iloko o kana upena.
He secretly lieth in wait, like a lion in a thicket; He lieth in wait to seize upon the helpless; He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
10 Ua kolo iho la ia, ua hoohaahaa ia ia iho, I haule iho ka poe ilihune i kona mea ikaika.
He croucheth, and lowereth himself, And the wretched fall into his paws.
11 Ua olelo iho la ia iloko o kona naau, Ua hoopoina ke Akua; Ua huna oia i kona maka, aole loa ia e ike mai.
He saith in his heart, “God doth forget; He hideth his face; he doth never see it.”
12 E ku mai oe, e Iehova; E hapai oe i kou lima, e ke Akua; Mai hoopoina mai i ka poe haahaa.
Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the distressed!
13 No ke aha la ka mea ino i hoowahawaha ai i ke Akua? Ua olelo no oia iloko o kona naau, Aole oe e hoopai mai.
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, “He careth not for it”?
14 Ua ike mai no oe, ua nana mai i ke kolohe a me ka huhu, I hoopai mai ia mea me kou lima; O ka mea ilihune ua waiho aku oia ia ia iho ia oe; O oe no ka mea nana ka mea makua ole i kokua mai.
Thou dost see it; yea, thou beholdest malice and oppression, And markest it upon thy hand! The poor committeth himself to thee; Thou art the helper of the fatherless.
15 E uhai oe i ka lima o ke kanaka hewa ke kolohe; E hoopai i kona hewa a pau ia i ka nalo ia oe.
Break thou the arm of the unjust and wicked man; Seek out his wickedness, till thou canst find none!
16 O Iehova, oia ke Alii mau loa: Ua make aku ko na aina e mailoko aku o kona aina.
Jehovah is king for ever and ever; The gentiles shall perish out of his land.
17 E Iehova, ua lohe oe i ka makemake o ka poe haahaa: E hoomakaukau ana oe i ko lakou naau, E hoolohe mai ana no kou pepeiao;
Thou, O LORD! wilt hear the desires of the distressed; Thou wilt strengthen their hearts; Thou wilt lend a listening ear!
18 E hoopono mai i ka mea makua ole a me ka mea i hooluhihewaia, I hooluhihewa hou ole mai ke kauaka o ka honua.
Thou wilt maintain the cause of the fatherless and the oppressed, That henceforth none may be driven from the land.
