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 OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Deliver me, O YHWH, from an evil man, Keep me from one of violence.
2 Ka poe i imi hewa ma ka naau; Akoakoa no lakou i na la a pau, e kaua.
Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
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)
They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of a viper [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.
Preserve me, YHWH, from the hands of the wicked, Keep me from one of violence, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
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 proud hid a snare for me—and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, They have set snares for me. (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 YHWH, “You [are] my God, Hear, YHWH, the voice of my supplications.”
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 YHWH, my Lord, strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of armor.
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)
Do not grant, O YHWH, the desires of the wicked, Do not bring forth his wicked scheme, They are high. (Selah)
9 O ke poo o ka poe hoopani mai ia'u, E uhiia lakou i ka luhi o ko lakou mau lehelehe.
The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covers them.
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.
They cause burning coals to fall on themselves, He casts them into fire, Into deep pits—they do not arise.
11 Aole e onipaa ma ka honua ke kanaka olelo wahahee; A e hahai koke no ka hewa i ke kanaka kolohe.
A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence—evil hunts to overflowing.
12 Ua ike no wau, e kokua mau no o Iehova i ka poe pilikia, A e hoapono hoi i ka poe ilihune.
I have known that YHWH executes The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
13 Oiaio e mililani aku no ka poe pono i kou inoa; E noho no hoi ka poe hoopololei ma kou alo.
Surely the righteous give thanks to Your Name, The upright dwell with Your presence!
