Halelu 144
1 E HOOMAIKAIIA o Iehova, ko'u pohaku, Ka mea i ao mai i ko'u mau lima e hoouka, A me ko'u mau manamana lima e kana.
BY DAVID. Blessed [is] YHWH my Rock, Who is teaching My hands for war, My fingers for battle.
2 O ko'u mea aloha, a me ko'u puukaua; O ko'u puuhonua, a me ko'u mea e pakele ai; O ko'u palekaua, ka mea a'u e hiliuai ai; Ka mea i hoopio mai i ko'u poe kanaka malalo iho o'u.
My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me!
3 E Iehova, heaha ke kanaka, i ike mai ai oe ia ia? A me ke keiki a ke kanaka i manao ai oe la ia?
YHWH, what [is] man that You know him? The son of man, that You esteem him?
4 Ua like ke kanaka me ka mahu; A o kona mau la hoi me he aka la i hele aku.
Man has been like a breath, His days [are] as a shadow passing by.
5 E Iehova, e hookulou mai oe i na lani a iho mai ilalo; E hoopa i na kuahiwi, a e pii aku ka uwahi.
YHWH, incline Your heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.
6 E hooanapu mai i ka uwila, a e hoopuehu ia lakou: E pana aku i kou mau pua, a e luku ia lakou.
Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Your arrows, and trouble them,
7 E kikoo mai oe i kou lima mai luna mai; A e unuhi mai ia'u a e hoopakele hoi ia'u maloko aku o na wai nui, Mai ka lima aku hoi o na keiki malihini;
Send forth Your hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,
8 Ka poe olelo wahahee ma ka lakou waha, A o ko lakou lima akau, he lima akau hoopunipuni.
Because their mouth has spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood.
9 E ke Akua, e oli aku au i ke oli hou ia oe, Ma ka violaumi he umi na kaula, e hoolea aku ai au ia oe.
O God, I sing to You a new song, I sing praise to You on a stringed instrument of ten strings.
10 Nana no e haawi mai i ke ola no na'lii; Nana no i hoopakele ia Davida i kana kauwa, I ka pahi kaua o ka hewa.
Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing His servant David from the sword of evil.
11 E unuhi mai oe ia'u, a e hoopakele mai hoi ia'u, I ka lima o na keiki malihini, Ka poe mea waha olelo wahahee, A o ko lakou lima akau, he lima akau hoopunipuni;
Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth has spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood,
12 I like ka kakou poe keikikane me na mea kanu, I ulu a nui i ko lakou manawa opiopio: I like hoi ka kakou poe kaikamahine me na pohaku kihi, I anaiia ma ke ano o ka luakini;
Because our sons [are] as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished—the likeness of a palace,
13 I piha hoi ko lakou halepapaa, E haawi mai ana i mea o kela ano, keia ano; I hanau mai ai ka kakou poe hipa ma na tausani, Ma ka umi tausani hoi ma na alanui.
Our granaries [are] full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,
14 I hapai hoi ka kakou poe bipi; I komo ole kekahi iloko, aole hoi e puka iwaho, A i ole hoi he mea ohumu, ma ko lakou mau alanui,
Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.
15 Pomaikai ka lahuikanaka i noho pela; Pomaikai no ka lahuikanaka mamuli o Iehova, ko kakou Akua.
O the blessedness of the people that is thus, O the blessedness of the people whose God [is] YHWH!
