Halelu 16
1 E HOOLA mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua: Ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe.
A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
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 tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
3 Aka, i ka poe haipule ma ka honua, A me ka poe maikai a'u e hauoli nei.
As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
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.
Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.
5 O Iehova ka io o ko'u hooilina a me ko'u kiaha; Ke hoomau mai nei oe i ko'u pauku.
Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
6 Ua lilo mai na palena ia'u i kahi e mahalo ai; Oiaio, ua ili mai ia'u ka aina maikai.
The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
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 gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
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 always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
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.
That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
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 me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience 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 shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
