Halelu 139
1 E IEHOVA, ua haka pono mai oe ia'u, a ua ike hoi.
To the Overseer. — A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.
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 — Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts 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 Thou hast fanned, And [with] all my ways hast been acquainted.
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 a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!
5 Ua hooke mai oe ia'u, ma hope, a mamua, A ua kau mai i kou lima maluna o'u.
Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on 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, It hath been set on high, I am not able for 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 do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do 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], And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee! (Sheol h7585)
9 Ina lawe au i na eheu o ke kakahiaka, A noho hoi ma na kihi o ka moana;
I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,
10 Malaila no kou lima e alakai ai ia'u, A na kou lima akua hoi e hoopaa ia'u.
Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth 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 I say, 'Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night [is] light to 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.
Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as [is] darkness so [is] 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 — Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.
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 confess Thee, because that [with] wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful [are] Thy works, And my soul is knowing [it] 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 substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of 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 unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed — And 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!
And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!
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 recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and 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.
Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!
20 Ka poe olelo hewa aku ia oe, Ua hookieide kou poe enemi ma ka lapuwale.
Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity [are] 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, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself?
22 Ua inaina aku au ia lakou, me ka inaina hemolele; He poe enemi lakou no'u.
[With] perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have 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 know my heart, Try 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 a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!
