Halelu 101

1 E OLI no wau i ka lokomaikai, a me ka hoopono; Ia oe no wau, e Iehova, e hoolea aku ai.

A psalm of David. I will sing of your faithful love and good judgment. I will sing praises to you, Lord.

2 E hana naauno no wau ma ka aoao o ka pono. Ahea la oe e hele mai ai ia'u? E holoholo no wau maloko o ko'u hale, Me ka pono o ko'u naau.

I will make sure my life is blameless. When will you come and help me? My life will be one of integrity even in private.

3 Aole au e kau i ka hewa imua o ko'u mau maka; Ua inaina aku au i ka mea hana ino, Aole ia e pili mai ia'u.

I will not look at anything evil. I hate doing wrong—I won't have anything to do with it.

4 E haalele anauei ka naau kekee ia'u, Aole au e ike aku i ke kanaka hewa.

I won't think bad thoughts—I won't even consider anything evil.

5 O ka mea ahiahi malu i kona hoalauna, Oia ka'u e hooki aku; O ka mea maka hookiekie, a naau hookano hoi, Aole au e hoomanawanui ia ia.

I will silence anyone who secretly slanders their neighbor. I won't tolerate anyone who is proud and arrogant.

6 Aia uo ko'u mau maka ma ka poe oiaio o ka aina, I noho mai ai lakou me au. O ka mea hele ma ka aoao o ka pono, Nana no e hookauwa mai na'u.

I look for faithful people to live with me; only those who are trustworthy will serve me.

7 Aole e noho iloko o ko'u hale ka mea hana hoopunipuni; Aole e noho ma ko'u alo, ka mea olelo wahahee.

No one who is dishonest will live in my house; no liars will be allowed in my presence.

8 E hooki koke no wau i ka poe hewa a pau o ka aina, I hoopau wau i ka poe hana hewa a pau, Mai ke kulanakauhale o Iehova aku.

I work every day to silence the wicked in the land, to rid the city of the Lord of all who do evil.
