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, Lord, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your 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 must I nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult 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 at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, lest I sleep in 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 my enemies claim to have triumphed, lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

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

But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help.

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

I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
