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.

For the Chief Musician. By David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no 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 looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought 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 aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no 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 iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on the LORD?

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

There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

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

You frustrate the plan of the poor, because the LORD 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 the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
