Halelu 116
1 KE aloha aku nei au ia Iehova, No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai oia i ka leo o ko'u nonoi ana.
I love Yahweh because he hears my voice and my pleas for mercy.
2 No ka mea hoi, ua haliu mai kona pepeiao ia'u, Nolaila, e kahea aku au ia ia i ko'u mau la.
Because he listened to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3 Hoopuni mai na hei o ka make ia'u, A loaa ia'u ka pilikia o ka malu o ka make, A loaa no hoi ia'u ka popilikia, a me ka ehaeha. (Sheol h7585)
The cords of death surrounded me, and the snares of Sheol confronted me; I felt anguish and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Alaila, kahea aku la au i ka inoa o Iehova; Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, E hoopakele mai oe i ko'u uhane.
Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “Please Yahweh, rescue my life.”
5 He aloha ko Iehova, a he pono no; Ua lokomaikai no hoi ko kakou Akua.
Yahweh is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
6 Ke malama mai nei o Iehova i ka mea oluolu: Maule no wau, a nana no i hoola mai ia'u.
Yahweh protects the naive; I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 E kuu uhane, e hoi oe i kou wahi e hoomaha'i, No ka mea, hana maikai mai o Iehova ia oe.
My soul can return to its resting place, for Yahweh has been good to me.
8 No ka mea, ua hoopakele mai oe i ko'u uhane i ka make, A me ko'u mau maka, i ka waimaka, A me ko'u mau wawae, i ka hina ana.
For you rescued my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
9 E holoholo no wau imua o Iehova, Ma ka honua, kahi o ka poe ola.
I will serve Yahweh in the land of the living.
10 Manaoio no wau, nolaila au i olelo aku ai; Pilikia loa no nae au;
I believed in him, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
11 I ko'u pioloke ana, olelo ae la au, He poe wahahee na kanaka a pau.
In my confusion I said, “All men are liars.”
12 Heaha ka'u e haawi aku ai ia oe, e Iehova, No kou lokomaikai mai a pau ia'u?
How can I repay Yahweh for all his kindnesses to me?
13 E hapai no wau i ke kiaha o ke ola, A e kahea aku i ka inoa o Iehova.
I will raise the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.
14 E haawi no wau ia Iehova i ko'u mea i hoohiki ai, Imua o kona poe kanaka a pau.
I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.
15 He mea minamina ia imua o Iehova, Ka make ana o kona poe haipule.
Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.
16 Aia hoi, e Iehova, owau no kau kauwa, O kau kauwa no wan, a o ke keiki hoi a kau kauwa wahine; Ua wehe mai oe i ko'u mau mea i paa ai.
Yahweh, indeed, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your servant woman; you have taken away my bonds.
17 E kaunmaha aku au ia oe i ka mohai mililani, A e kahea aku hoi i ka inoa o Iehova.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call on the name of Yahweh.
18 E haawi no wau ia Iehova i ko'u mea i hoohiki ai, Imua o kona poe kanaka a pau,
I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people,
19 Ma na kahua o ka hale o Iehova, Mawaena konu ou, e Ierusalema. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
in the courts of Yahweh's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
