Halelu 16
1 E HOOLA mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua: Ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe.
PRESERVE me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
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;
O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 Aka, i ka poe haipule ma ka honua, A me ka poe maikai a'u e hauoli nei.
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
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.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into 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 the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 Ua lilo mai na palena ia'u i kahi e mahalo ai; Oiaio, ua ili mai ia'u ka aina maikai.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
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 hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
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 shall not be moved.
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 glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest 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 thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (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.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
