Halelu 18
1 E ALOHA aku no au ia oe, e Iehova, e ko'u ikaika.
For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, I love you, LORD, my strength.
2 O Iehova ko'u pohaku, kuu pakaua, a me ko'u mea e ola'i; O ko'u Akua, ko'u oolea, a'u e hilinai ai; O ko'u paku, o ko'u hao e ola'i, o ko'u halepukaua kiekie.
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3 E kahea aku au ia Iehova, ia ia ka hoolea, Pela au e hoopakeleia'i i ko'u mau enemi.
I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
4 Ua puni au i ka ehaeha o ka make; Ua hooweliweli mai ia'u na ale o ka poe aia.
The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
The cords of Sheol (Sheol h7585) were around me. The snares of death came on me.
6 I ko u popilikia ana, ua kahea aku au ia Iehova, Ua auwe aku au i ko'u Akua; Ua lohe mai no ia ia'u ma kona luakini, Ua hiki aku kuu ulono imua ona, a i kona mau pepeiao.
In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.
7 Alaila nauwe iho la ka honua a me ka haalulu; Nauweuwe iho la ua kumu o na mauna, Ua hoonauweia mai ia no kona inaina.
Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
8 Ua pukoa ae la ka uahi mai loko ae o kona mau puka ihu. Mai loko mai o kona waha ke ahi e ai ana; Ua kukuniia ka lanahu e ia.
Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
9 Ua hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la; Malalo hoi o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
10 Ua holo ia ma ke keruba, ua lele no hoi ia: Oiaio, ua lele oia ma na eheu o ka makani.
He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
11 Ua hoolilo oia i ka pouli i wahi mehameha nona: O kona halelowa i hoopuni ia ia, a o na wai pouli a me na a eleele o ka lani.
He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 No ka olinolino imua ona, ua lele ae la kona mau ao eleele, O na hua hekili, a me na lanahu ahi.
At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
13 Ua hoohekili mai la o Iehova ma ka lani; Ua hoopuka mai la ka Mea kiekie loa i kona leo: O na hua hekili, a me na lanahu ahi.
The LORD also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Ua pehi iho la i kana mau pua, e hoopuehu ia lakou; Ua pana iho la i na uwila, a ua auhee lakou ia ia.
He sent out his arrows, and scattered them. He routed them with great lightning bolts.
15 Alaila, ua ikea na kaha o na wai, Ua hoikeia mai na kumu o ka honua, I kau papa ana mai, e Iehova, i ka nou ana hoi o ka hanu o kou mau puka ihu.
Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16 Ua kii mai la oia mai luna mai, ua lawe ae hoi ia'u, Ua unuhi aku la oia ia'u mai loko o na wai nui.
He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
17 Ua hoopakele oia ia'u i ko'u mau enemi ikaika, A me ka poe inaina mai ia'u: No ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18 Ua hoopaa mai lakou ia'u i ko'u la popilikia: Aka, ua lilo mai o Iehova i kokua no'u.
They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
19 Ua lawe ae la oia ia'u i kahi akea; Ua hoopakele mai no ia ia'u, no kona makemake ana mai ia'u.
He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 Ua uku mai la o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono; Ua hoopai mai no ia ia'u e like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima.
The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands, he has recompensed me.
21 No ka mea, ua malama aku au i na aoao o Iehova, Aole hoi au i hele hewa aku mai ko'u Akua aku.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 Mamua hoi o ko'u alo kana mau olelo hoopono a pau; Aole hoi au e pale aku i kana mau kauoha.
For all his ordinances were before me. I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 Ua kupono hoi au imua ona; Ua hookaawale mai au ia'u iho mai ko'u hewa mai.
I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Nolaila, i hoopai mai ai o Iehova ia'u e like me ko'u pono. E like me ka maemae o ko'u mau lima imua o kona alo.
Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 Me ka mea lokomaikai e hoike ana oe ia oe iho he lokomaikai, Me ke kanaka hoopono e hoike aua oe ia oe iho he pono;
With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
26 Me ka mea maemae, e hoike ana oe ia oe iho he maemae; Me ka mea hooolea, e hoike ana oe ia oe iho ho oolea.
With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
27 No ka mea, e hoola ana oe i ka poe i hooluhiia; Aka, e hoohaahaa oe i na maka kiekie.
For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.
28 No ka mea, e kuni no oe i ko'u kukui, E koomalamalama mai no o Iehova o ko'u Akua i ko'u pouli.
For you will light my lamp, LORD. My God will light up my darkness.
29 Nou no wau i wahi ae ai i ka poe kaua; No ko'u Akua i lehai aku ai au maluna o ka pa.
For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
30 A o ke Akua, ua hemolele kona aoao: Ua hoaoia ka olelo a Iehova; He paku oia no na mea a pau i paulele aku ia ia.
As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
31 Owai ke Akua, ina aole o Iehova; Owai ka pohaku, ina aole ko kakou Akua?
For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,
32 O ke Akua ka i kakoo mai ia'u me ka ikaika; Nana no i hoopololei mai i ko'u hele ana.
the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
33 Ua hoolilo no oia i kuu mau wawae e like me na wawae dia: Ua hoonoho oia ia'u ma ko'u mau wahi kiekie.
He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
34 Ua ao mai no oia i ko'u mau lima e kaua; I haki ai i ko'u lima ke kikoo keleawe.
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
35 Ua haawi mai oe ia'u i kou paku e ola'i: Ua hookupaa mai ia'u kou lima akau? A o kou ahonui ka i hoomakua mai nei ia'u.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
36 Ua hoakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u; Aole hoi i pahee kuu mau wawae.
You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
37 Ua alualu aku au i kuu mau enemi a loaa lakou; Ua pau e hoi lakou ia'u mamua o ko'u hoi ana mai.
I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. I will not turn away until they are consumed.
38 Ua pepehi aku au ia lakou. aole e hiki ia lakou ke ku ae iluna; Ua pau lakou i ka hina malalo ae o ko'u mau wawae.
I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
39 Ua kakoo mai no oe ia'u me ka ikaika i ke kaua; Ua hoohaahaa iho oe malalo iho o'u i ka poe i ku e mai ia'u.
For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40 Ua haawi mai no oe ia'u i ka a-i o ko'u mau enemi; I luku aku ai au i ka poe inaina mai ia'u.
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
41 Ua kabea aku la lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole no hoi ia i ae mai.
They cried, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he did not answer them.
42 Alaila, ua pakuikui au ia lakou a okaoka me he lepo la imua o a makani: Ua kiola aku au ia lakou e like me ka lepo ma ke alanui.
Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43 Ua hoopakele oe ia'u i ka paio ana o na kanaka; Ua hoolilo oe ia'u i poo no na lahuikanaka e; E malama mai ana no ia'u ka poe kanaka a'u i ike ole ai.
You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 A kui ka lono o'u, e malama koke mai no lakou ia'u; E hooloho mai no ia'u na keiki a kanaka e.
As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
45 E mae aku ana no na kanaka e: E makau ana lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
46 Ke ola mau nei no Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku, E hapaiia'ku ko'u Akua e ola'i.
The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
47 O ke Akua ka i haawi mai na'u e hoopai aku: Oia ka i hoolilo i Kanaka malalo iho o'u:
even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
48 Oia ka i hoopakele ia'u i ko'u mau enemi: Nau no wau i hookiekie ae maluna o ka poe i ku o mai ia'u; Nau no wau i hoola i ke kanaka pepehi wale mai.
He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
49 Nolaila au e hoomaikai aku ai ia oe, e Iehova, mawaena o ko na aina e: E hoolea aku hoi au i kou inoa.
Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
50 Nani no kona hoola ana i kana alii; Ua aloha mau mai no ia i kona mea poui, ia Davida, a me kana mamo.
He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.
