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 Musician. David’s. The impious hath said in his heart—There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth 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.

Yahweh, out of the heavens, looked down over the sons of men, —to see whether there was one that showed wisdom, enquiring after God: —

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

The whole, have turned aside, Together have they become tainted, —There is none that doeth good, not so much as, 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.

Are all the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? devouring my people [as] they devour food! Upon Yahweh, have they not called.

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

There have they been in great dread, because, God, is in the circle of the righteous man.

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

The purpose of the poor, ye would put to shame, because, Yahweh, is his refuge.

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.

Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvation of Israel! When Yahweh bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, be glad.
