Halelu 16
1 E HOOLA mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua: Ke hilinai aku nei au ia oe.
A michtam of David. Keep 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, my happiness rests in you alone.
3 Aka, i ka poe haipule ma ka honua, A me ka poe maikai a'u e hauoli nei.
Those who are holy in the land, they, they alone, are the noble ones; all my delight is in 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 choose other gods find endless sorrow. In their offerings of blood I will have no part nor take their name on 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 share and my portion, my fate is in your strong hands.
6 Ua lilo mai na palena ia'u i kahi e mahalo ai; Oiaio, ua ili mai ia'u ka aina maikai.
The boundary lines of my life mark out delightful country, my heritage pleases me well.
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 praise the Lord for his counsel, which so stirs my heart in the night.
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 keep the Lord always in mind: with him at my hand, I can never 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.
So my heart is glad, there is joy inside me; and in safety of body I live.
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 give me up to Sheol nor let any who love you see the pit. (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 will show me the path that leads to life, to that fulness of joy which is in your presence, and the pleasures dispensed by your hand evermore.
