Halelu 139
1 E IEHOVA, ua haka pono mai oe ia'u, a ua ike hoi.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known [me].
2 Ua ike no oe i ko'u noho ana ilalo, a me ko'u ala ana iluna, Ua maopopo hoi ko'u manao ia oe ma kahi loihi e aku.
Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off;
3 Ua hoao mai oe i ko'u ala ana, a me ko'u moe ana, A ua ikea no ko'u mau aoao a pau ia oe.
Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways;
4 No ka mea, aohe olelo ma ko'u alelo, Aia hoi, e Iehova, ua ike no oe ia mau mea a pau.
For there is not yet a word on my tongue, [but] lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Ua hooke mai oe ia'u, ma hope, a mamua, A ua kau mai i kou lima maluna o'u.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.
6 Ua oi aku ke kupanaha o ia ike ana mamua o ko'u, Ua kiekie loa, aole au e hiki aku ilaila.
O knowledge too wonderful for me! it is high, I cannot [attain] unto it.
7 Mahea la wau e hele ai, mai ko'u uhane aku? Mahea la wau e pee aku ai, mai kou alo aku?
Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither flee from thy presence?
8 Ina pii aku au i ka lani malaila no oe, Inaehalii au i kahi moe ma ka malu o ka make, aia no oe; (Sheol h7585)
If I ascend up into the heavens thou art there; or if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou [art there]; (Sheol h7585)
9 Ina lawe au i na eheu o ke kakahiaka, A noho hoi ma na kihi o ka moana;
[If] I take the wings of the dawn [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Malaila no kou lima e alakai ai ia'u, A na kou lima akua hoi e hoopaa ia'u.
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 A ina olelo au, Oiaio, e haule mai ka pouli maluna o'u, Alaila, e lilo no ka po i malamalama a puni au.
And if I say, Surely darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night;
12 Aole hoi e hoonalo ka pouli i kekahi mea ia oe, Hoomalamalama mai ka po me he ao la: Ua like no ka pouli, ua like hoi ka malamalama.
Even darkness hideth not from thee, and the night shineth as the day: the darkness is as the light.
13 No ka mea, nau no i hooponopono i ko'u naau; A nau hoi i malama mai ia'u, ma ka opu o ko'u makuwahine.
For thou hast possessed my reins; thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.
14 E mililani aku au ia oe, No ka mea, o kau hana kupanaha no wau a me ka makau; He kupanaha hoi kau mau hana, Ua ike pono no ko'u uhane.
I will praise thee, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.
15 Aole i nalo ko'u kino ia oe, Ia'u i hanaia'i ma kahi malu, A kapili akamai ia malalo i ka honua.
My bones were not hidden from thee when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth.
16 Ike mai no kou mau maka i ko'u opuu ana; A pau no hoi i ke kakauia iloko o kau buke, Na mea o'u i hooponoponoia'i mahope, Ia manawa, aole kekahi o ia mau mea.
Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, and in thy book all [my members] were written; [during many] days were they fashioned, when [as yet] there was none of them.
17 A ia'u hoi, nani ka waiwai o kou mau manao, e ke Akua! Nani hoi ka lehulehu o ko lakou mau haina!
But how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 Ina e helu wau, ua oi aku ko lakou kinikini mamua o ke one: Ia'u e ala'i, ua mau loa no au me oe.
[If] I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.
19 E pepehi io mai no oe i ka poe hewa, e ke Akua; E na kanaka koko, e hele aku oukou, mai o'u aku nei.
Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O God! And ye men of blood, depart from me.
20 Ka poe olelo hewa aku ia oe, Ua hookieide kou poe enemi ma ka lapuwale.
For they speak of thee wickedly, they take [thy name] in vain, thine enemies.
21 E Iehova, aole anei au i inaina aku i ka poe inaina ia oe? A hoopailua hoi i ka poe ala ku e ia oe?
Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? and do not I loathe them that rise up against thee?
22 Ua inaina aku au ia lakou, me ka inaina hemolele; He poe enemi lakou no'u.
I hate them with perfect hatred; I account them mine enemies.
23 E huli mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua, a e ike i ko'u naau; E hoao mai oe ia'u, a e ike i ko'u manao.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; prove me, and know my thoughts;
24 E nana mai hoi ina paha he aoao hewa iloko o'u, A e alakai ia'u ma ka aoao ola loa.
And see if there be any grievous way in me; and lead me in the way everlasting.
