Halelu 141
1 E IEHOVA, ke kahea aku nei au ia oe, E wikiwiki mai oe ia'u, E hooloho hoi i ka leo o ko'u kahea ana aku ia oe.
Lord, I cry unto you: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto you.
2 E hooliloia ka'u pule i mohai ala imua ou; A o ka hapai ana hoi o ko'u mau lima i mohai ahiahi.
Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 E hoonoho mai oe, e Iehova, i mea kiai ma kuu waha, A e malama mai hoi oe i ke pani o ko'u mau lehelehe.
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4 Mai hoohuli ae oe i ko'u naau i kekahi mea hewa, E hana i ka hana o ka poe lawelawe, Me ka poe hana kolohe; Aole hoi au e ai i ko lakou mea ono.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Na ka poe pono e hahau mai ia'u, he aloha ia: E ao mai oia ia'u he mea hamo maikai ia, A olo ia e wahi ai i kuu poo; No ka mea, e mau ana no ka'u pule no lakou, iloko o ko lakou pilikia.
Let the righteous strike me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 Ua haule ko lakou lunakanawai ma na wahi pohaku, Ua lohe mai nae lakou i ka'u pule, no ka mea, he oluolu ia.
When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 E like me ka mea kohi a hoauauwaha i ka honua, Pela i hooheleleiia'i ko makou iwi ma ke kae o ka lua kupapau. (Sheol h7585)
Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cuts and cleaves wood upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)
8 Aia no ia oe ko'u mau maka, o Iehova ka Haku, Ia oe no wau e hilinai aku ai; Mai waiho pu mai oe i ko'u uhane me ko ka poe nele.
But mine eyes are unto you, O GOD the Lord: in you is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 E malama mai oe ia'u i ka hei a lakou i kaukau ai no'u, A me ka upena o ka poe hana hewa.
Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 E haule ka poe hewa iloko o ko lakou hei iho, A e pakele wale aku no wau.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I likewise escape.
