Halelu 16
1 E HOOLA mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua: Ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe.
A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
2 E kuu uhane, ua i aku oe ia Iehova, O oe no ko'u Haku; Aole i hiki aku ko'u maikai ia oe;
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
3 Aka, i ka poe haipule ma ka honua, A me ka poe maikai a'u e hauoli nei.
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
4 E hoonuiia'na ka eha o ka poe e hahai i ka mea e; Aole au e mohai aku i ko lakou mohaiinu koko, Aole hoi e hapai i ko lakou inoa i kou mau Iehelehe.
Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
5 O Iehova ka io o ko'u hooilina a me ko'u kiaha; Ke hoomau mai nei oe i ko'u pauku.
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
6 Ua lilo mai na palena ia'u i kahi e mahalo ai; Oiaio, ua ili mai ia'u ka aina maikai.
The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
7 E hoomaikai aku au ia Iehova, nana ka olelo i haawi mai ia'u, Ua ao mai hoi ia'u ko'u mau puupaa i na po.
I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 Ke waiho mau nei no au ia Iehova imua o ko'u alo: Oia ma ko'u lima akau, nolaila au e kulanalana ole ai.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Nolaila ko'u naau o hauoli nei, a e olioli nei ko'u nani, Oiaio, e hoomaha hoi ko'u kino me ka manaolana.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
10 No ka mea, aole oe e haalele i ko'u uhane i ka malu o ka make, Aole hoi oe e waiho iho i kou mea hoano a ike i ka palaho. (Sheol h7585)
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 E hoike mai no oe ia'u i ke kuamoo e ola'i; Ina no ma kou alo ka nui wale o ka olioli; Ma kou lima akau ka hauoli mau loa.
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
