Halelu 139
1 E IEHOVA, ua haka pono mai oe ia'u, a ua ike hoi.
To the Chief Musician, David’s. A Melody. O Yahweh! thou hast searched me, and observed:
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, hast observed my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou hast given heed to my desire, from afar:
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.
My path and my couch, hast thou examined, and, all my ways, thou well knowest.
4 No ka mea, aohe olelo ma ko'u alelo, Aia hoi, e Iehova, ua ike no oe ia mau mea a pau.
Surely there hath not been a word on my tongue, [but] behold! O Yahweh, thou hast observed it on every side.
5 Ua hooke mai oe ia'u, ma hope, a mamua, A ua kau mai i kou lima maluna o'u.
Behind and before, hast thou shut me in, and hast laid upon me thy hand: —
6 Ua oi aku ke kupanaha o ia ike ana mamua o ko'u, Ua kiekie loa, aole au e hiki aku ilaila.
Knowledge, too wonderful, for me! high, I cannot attain to 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 can I go from thy spirit? or whither, from thy face, can I flee?
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 the heavens, there, thou art! If I spread out hades as my couch, behold thee! (Sheol h7585)
9 Ina lawe au i na eheu o ke kakahiaka, A noho hoi ma na kihi o ka moana;
If I mount the wings of the dawn, settle down in the region beyond the sea,
10 Malaila no kou lima e alakai ai ia'u, A na kou lima akua hoi e hoopaa ia'u.
Even there, thy hand shall 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.
If I say, Surely, darkness, shall cover me! then, night, is light about 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, will not conceal from thee, —but, night, like day, will shine, So is the darkness, 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, didst possess thyself of my reins, thou didst weave me together in the womb of my mother.
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 thank thee, in that fearfully was my being distinguished, Wonderful are thy works, and, mine own soul, is observing [them] intently!
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 substance was not hid from thee, —when I was made in secret, when I was skilfully figured 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.
Mine unfinished substance, thine eyes beheld, and, in thy book, all the parts thereof were written, —the days they should be fashioned! while yet there was not one among 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!
To me, then, how precious have thy desires become, O GOD! How numerous, the heads 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.
I would recount them! Beyond the sands, they multiply, I rouse myself—and 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.
Wilt thou not, O GOD, slay the lawless one? Therefore, ye men of bloodshed, 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, Thy foes lift up [their hand] unto falsehood.
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 I not hate, them who hate thee, O Yahweh? And loathe, them who rise up against thee?
22 Ua inaina aku au ia lakou, me ka inaina hemolele; He poe enemi lakou no'u.
With completeness of hatred, I hate them, As enemies, have they become to me.
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 observe my heart, Try me, and observe my cares;
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 idol-way in me, and lead me in a way age-abiding.
