Halelu 140
1 E HOOPAKELE mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, i ke kanaka hewa; E malama mai hoi ia'u no ke kanaka kolohe:
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, take me out of the power of the evil man; keep me safe from the violent man:
2 Ka poe i imi hewa ma ka naau; Akoakoa no lakou i na la a pau, e kaua.
For their hearts are full of evil designs; and they are ever making ready causes of war.
3 Hookala no lakou i ko lakou alelo me he nahesa la; A aia malalo o ko lakou mau lehelehe ka mea make o ka moonihoawa. (Sila)
Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes is under their lips. (Selah)
4 E malama mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, i na lima o ka poe hewa. E kiai mai ia'u no ke kanaka kolohe; No ka mea, manao mai oia e hoohiolo i kuu mau kapuwai.
O Lord, take me out of the hands of sinners; keep me safe from the violent man: for they are designing my downfall.
5 Na ka poe hookiekie i hana i ka mea hei a me na kaula no'u; A ua uhola lakou i ka upena ma kapa alanui; Ua kau lakou i pahele no'u. (Sila)
The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah)
6 Olelo aku la au ia Iehova, O oe no ko'u Akua; E hoolohe mai oe, e Iehova, i ka leo o ko'u nonoi ana.
I have said to the Lord, You are my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my prayer.
7 E Iehova, ka Haku ikaika o ko'u ola, Ua uhi mai no oe i ko'u poo i ka la o ke kaua.
O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight.
8 Mai haawi mai oe, e Iehova, i na mea a ka poe hewa i makemake ai; Mai kokua mai oe mamuli o kona manao; Ua hookiekie no lakou. (Sila)
O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah)
9 O ke poo o ka poe hoopani mai ia'u, E uhiia lakou i ka luhi o ko lakou mau lehelehe.
As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.
10 E haule mai na lanahu maluna o lakou; E kiolaia lakou iloko o ke ahi, Iloko hoi o na lua hohonu, I olo ai lakou e ku hou mai iluna.
Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again.
11 Aole e onipaa ma ka honua ke kanaka olelo wahahee; A e hahai koke no ka hewa i ke kanaka kolohe.
Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.
12 Ua ike no wau, e kokua mau no o Iehova i ka poe pilikia, A e hoapono hoi i ka poe ilihune.
I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.
13 Oiaio e mililani aku no ka poe pono i kou inoa; E noho no hoi ka poe hoopololei ma kou alo.
Truly, the upright will give praise to your name: the holy will have a place in your house.
