Halelu 14

1 I IHO la ka aia iloko o kona naau, Aohe Akua. Ua pau lakou i ka hewa; Ua hana lakou i na hana ino; Aohe mea nana e hana maikai.

To the chief music-maker. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

2 Ua nana mai la o Iehova mai ka lani mai i na keiki a kanaka, I ike mai i kekahi mea naauao paha i imi i ke Akua.

The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

3 Ua pau lakou i ke kapae. Ua pau pu lakou i ka paumaele; Aohe mea nana i hana pono, aole akahi.

They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.

4 Aole anei i ike iki ka poe hana hewa a pau? Ka poe i pau ai ko'u poe kanaka i ka aiia, E like me ko lakou ai ana i ka berena, Aole nae i kahea i ka inoa o Iehova.

Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.

5 Makau iho la lakou me ka weliweli; No ka mea, ina no ke Akua mawaena o ka hanauna pono.

Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.

6 Ua hoohilahila oukou i ka manao o ka mea ilihune; No ka mea, o Iehova kona puuhonua.

You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.

7 Nawai ke ola e haawi mai no ka Iseraela mailoko mai o Ziona? Aia hoihoi mai o Iehova i ke pio ana o kona poe kanaka, E hauoli no o Iakoba, e olioli no hoi o Iseraela.

May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.
