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?

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me continually! 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 have to devise resolves in my soul, with grief in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy exalt himself 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;

Look down, answer me, O Lord my God! enlighten my eyes, that I may not 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.

That my enemy may not say, I have overcome him; that my assailants may not be glad 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 I trust in thy kindness, let my heart be glad because of 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.
