Halelu 11

1 KE hilinai aku nei au ia Iehova; Pehea oukou e i mai ai i ko'u uhane, E lele i ko oukou mauna me he manu la?

To the Overseer. — By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?

2 Aia hoi ka poe hewa ke lena la i ka lakou kakaka, Ke hoomakaukau la i ka lakou pua ma ke kaula, E pana malu aku lakou i ka poe naau kupono.

For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3 Ina e hoohioloia na kumu, Heaha la hoi ka ka mea pono e hana'i?

When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous — what hath he done?

4 Ina no o Iehova iloko o kona luakini hoano; Ina no o ka nohoalii o Iehova maluna o ka lani: Ke nana mai la kona mau maka; Ke hoao mai la kona mau lihilihi i na keiki a kanaka.

'Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah — in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see — His eyelids try the sons of men.

5 Ke hoao la o Iehova i ka mea pono, Aka, ke inaina la kona Uhane i ka mea hewa, A me ka mea i makemake i ke kolohe.

Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,

6 Maluna iho o ka poe hewa oia e hooua mai ai i na kaula uila, A me ke ahi, ka luaipele, a me ka ino huhu: Oia ka piha o ko lakou kiaha.

He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.

7 No ka mea, ke aloha mai la ka Haku pono i ka pono; Ke haliu mai la kona maka i ka mea pololei.

For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'
