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 leader. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, Lord, from evil people; from the violent guard me
2 Ka poe i imi hewa ma ka naau; Akoakoa no lakou i na la a pau, e kaua.
from those who plot evil in their heart, and stir up war continually:
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)
who make their tongue as sharp as a serpent’s, and under whose lips is the poison of adders. (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, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked, from the violent guard me from those who are plotting to trip up my feet.
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 have hidden a trap for me, cords they have spread as a net for my feet: snares they have set at the side of my track. (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, “My God are you; attend, Lord, to my loud plea.
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 my Lord, my savior mighty, you did cover my head in the day of battle.
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)
Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; and what they have purposed, promote you not.” (Selah)
9 O ke poo o ka poe hoopani mai ia'u, E uhiia lakou i ka luhi o ko lakou mau lehelehe.
Let them not lift up their heads against me. May the mischief they prate bring themselves to destruction,
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.
may he rain upon them coals of fire, may he strike them down swiftly, to rise no more,
11 Aole e onipaa ma ka honua ke kanaka olelo wahahee; A e hahai koke no ka hewa i ke kanaka kolohe.
no place in the land may there be for the slanderer: may the violent be hunted from sorrow to sorrow.
12 Ua ike no wau, e kokua mau no o Iehova i ka poe pilikia, A e hoapono hoi i ka poe ilihune.
I know that the Lord will do right by the weak, and will execute justice for those who are 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 shall praise your name, and they who are upright shall live in your presence.
