Halelu 13

1 PEHEA la ka loihi o kou hoopoina ana mai ia'u, e Iehova? I ka manawa pau ole anei? Pehea la ka loihi o kou hoonalo ana i kou maka ia'u?

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD, wilt Thou forget me for ever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?

2 Pehea la hoi ka loihi o ko'u kaukau ana iloko o ko'u uhane, Me ke kaniuhu iloko o ko'u naau i kela la a i keia la? Pehea la hoi ka loihi o ka hookiekie ana o ko'u enemi maluna o'u?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart by day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 E manao mai, e Iehova, e ko'u Akua, e hoolohe mai ia'u, E hoomalamalama i ko'u mau maka, o hiamoe au i ka make;

Behold Thou, and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 O olelo mai paha kuu enemi, Ua lanakila au maluna ona; A hauoli no hoi ka poe i hana ino mai ia'u, ke haalulu au.

Lest mine enemy say: 'I have prevailed against him'; lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 Aka hoi, ua hilinai aku au i kou aloha; E hauoli no hoi ko'u naau i kou ola.

But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.

6 E oli aku no au ia Iehova, No kona lokomaikai ana mai nei ia'u.

I will sing unto the LORD, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
