Halelu 18
1 E ALOHA aku no au ia oe, e Iehova, e ko'u ikaika.
For the end, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord; [the words] which he spoke to the Lord, [even] the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said: I will love you, O 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 firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; [he is] my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.
3 E kahea aku au ia Iehova, ia ia ka hoolea, Pela au e hoopakeleia'i i ko'u mau enemi.
I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.
4 Ua puni au i ka ehaeha o ka make; Ua hooweliweli mai ia'u na ale o ka poe aia.
The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.
The pangs of hell came round about me: the snares of death prevented me. (Sheol h7585)
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.
And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, [even] 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 quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.
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.
There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.
9 Ua hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la; Malalo hoi o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and 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.
And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds.
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.
And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, [even] dark water in the clouds of the air.
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 the clouds passed, hail 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 from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice.
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.
And he sent forth [his] weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.
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.
And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of your wrath.
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 and took me, he drew me to himself 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 will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.
18 Ua hoopaa mai lakou ia'u i ko'u la popilikia: Aka, ua lilo mai o Iehova i kokua no'u.
They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but the Lord was my stay against [them].
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.
And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure 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.
And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense 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 way 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 judgements were before me, and his ordinances departed not from me.
23 Ua kupono hoi au imua ona; Ua hookaawale mai au ia'u iho mai ko'u hewa mai.
And I shall be blameless with hem, and shall keep myself from mine 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.
And the Lord shall recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
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 holy you will be holy; and with the innocent man you will be innocent.
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.
And with the excellent [man] you will be excellent; and with the perverse you will show frowardness.
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 lowly people, and will humble the eyes of the proud.
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, O Lord, will light my lamp: my God, you will lighten 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 shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass 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] my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.
31 Owai ke Akua, ina aole o Iehova; Owai ka pohaku, ina aole ko kakou Akua?
For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except 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.
[It is] God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:
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.
who strengthens my feet as hart's feet, and sets me upon 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 instructs my hands for war: and you have made my arms [as] a brazen bow.
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.
And you have made me secure in my salvation: and your right hand has helped me, and your correction has upheld me to the end; yes, your correction itself shall instruct me.
36 Ua hoakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u; Aole hoi i pahee kuu mau wawae.
You has made room for my goings under me, and by footsteps did not fail.
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 mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back 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 dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: 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 girded me with strength for war: you have beaten down under me all that 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.
And you has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and you have destroyed them that hated 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 deliverer: [even] to the Lord, but he listened not to 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.
I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.
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.
Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: you shall make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served 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.
at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.
45 E mae aku ana no na kanaka e: E makau ana lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.
46 Ke ola mau nei no Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku, E hapaiia'ku ko'u Akua e ola'i.
The Lord lives; and blessed [be] my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 O ke Akua ka i haawi mai na'u e hoopai aku: Oia ka i hoolilo i Kanaka malalo iho o'u:
[It is] God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations 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.
my deliverer from angry enemies: you shall set me on high above them that rise up against me: you shall deliver me from the unrighteous 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 will I confess to you, O Lord, amongst the Gentiles, and sing 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.
[God] magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.
