Halelu 139
1 E IEHOVA, ua haka pono mai oe ia'u, a ua ike hoi.
For the music director. A psalm of David. Lord, you have examined me from the inside out—you know everything about 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.
You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I'm thinking even when I'm a long way away.
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.
You observe where I go and when I rest. You're familiar with everything I do.
4 No ka mea, aohe olelo ma ko'u alelo, Aia hoi, e Iehova, ua ike no oe ia mau mea a pau.
Lord, you even know what I'm going to say before I say it.
5 Ua hooke mai oe ia'u, ma hope, a mamua, A ua kau mai i kou lima maluna o'u.
You're always there—behind me, in front of me, and all around me. You place your caring hand on me.
6 Ua oi aku ke kupanaha o ia ike ana mamua o ko'u, Ua kiekie loa, aole au e hiki aku ilaila.
This amazing knowledge you have is far beyond me, way beyond my understanding!
7 Mahea la wau e hele ai, mai ko'u uhane aku? Mahea la wau e pee aku ai, mai kou alo aku?
Where can I go that you're not already there? Where can I run to escape your 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 go up to heaven, you are there. If I lie down in Sheol, look—you are there too! (Sheol h7585)
9 Ina lawe au i na eheu o ke kakahiaka, A noho hoi ma na kihi o ka moana;
If I were to fly away on wings of the dawn to the east; if I were to live on the far western shore 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 your hand would lead me, your right hand would support 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.
If I asked the darkness to hide me, and light to become night around me,
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 would not be dark for you, and the night would be bright as day, for darkness is like light to you.
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.
You made me from the inside out, shaping 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 praise you for making me in such an awesome and wonderful way. What you do is incredible—I realize this completely!
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 growing body was not hidden from you as I was formed in secret, as I was intricately put together “in the depths 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.
You saw me as an embryo, and in your book all my days were written down—the days that were made for me before any of them existed.
17 A ia'u hoi, nani ka waiwai o kou mau manao, e ke Akua! Nani hoi ka lehulehu o ko lakou mau haina!
God, your thoughts are so valuable to me! Taken together, they can't be counted!
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 tried to count them, they would be more than every grain of sand. Yet when I awake I am still with you.
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.
God, if you would only kill the wicked! Murderers, get away from me!
20 Ka poe olelo hewa aku ia oe, Ua hookieide kou poe enemi ma ka lapuwale.
When they speak of you they're being deceptively evil. Since they are your enemies, they call on you in vain.
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?
Lord, don't I hate those who hate you? I despise those who rebel against you!
22 Ua inaina aku au ia lakou, me ka inaina hemolele; He poe enemi lakou no'u.
I hate them with absolute hatred—they have become my 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.
Examine me carefully, God, so you can be sure of my true feelings. Check me out so you can know what I really think.
24 E nana mai hoi ina paha he aoao hewa iloko o'u, A e alakai ia'u ma ka aoao ola loa.
Please show me if I'm following any kind of idol, and lead me along the path of eternal life.
