Halelu 18
1 E ALOHA aku no au ia oe, e Iehova, e ko'u ikaika.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid the seruant of the Lord, which spake unto the Lord the wordes of this song (in the day that the Lord delivered him for the hande of all this enemies, and form the and of saul) and sayd, I will loue thee dearely, 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 rocke, and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horne also of my saluation, and my refuge.
3 E kahea aku au ia Iehova, ia ia ka hoolea, Pela au e hoopakeleia'i i ko'u mau enemi.
I will call vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe 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 sorowes of death compassed me, and the floods of wickednes made me afraide.
The sorowes of the graue haue compassed me about: the snares of death ouertooke 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.
But in my trouble did I call vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: he heard my voyce out of his Temple, and my crye did come before him, euen into his eares.
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 trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.
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 at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat.
9 Ua hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la; Malalo hoi o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
10 Ua holo ia ma ke keruba, ua lele no hoi ia: Oiaio, ua lele oia ma na eheu o ka makani.
And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde.
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 darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.
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 brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles 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 thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales 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.
Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed 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 chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the worlde were discouered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrels.
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 hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee 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 hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong 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 preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.
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.
Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured 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 rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he 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.
Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against 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 Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.
23 Ua kupono hoi au imua ona; Ua hookaawale mai au ia'u iho mai ko'u hewa mai.
I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.
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 rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.
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 godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
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 thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.
27 No ka mea, e hoola ana oe i ka poe i hooluhiia; Aka, e hoohaahaa oe i na maka kiekie.
Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes.
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.
Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes.
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 thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer 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.
The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of the Lord is tried in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
31 Owai ke Akua, ina aole o Iehova; Owai ka pohaku, ina aole ko kakou Akua?
For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie saue 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.
God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way vpright.
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 maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon mine 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 teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
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.
Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy louing kindenes hath caused me to increase.
36 Ua hoakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u; Aole hoi i pahee kuu mau wawae.
Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid.
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 haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them.
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 haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete.
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 thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder 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 thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that 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 cryed but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but hee answered them not.
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 did beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did treade them flat as the clay in the streetes.
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.
Thou hast deliuered me from the contentions of the people: thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people, whom I haue not knowen, shall serue 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 soone as they heare, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subiection to me.
45 E mae aku ana no na kanaka e: E makau ana lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.
46 Ke ola mau nei no Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku, E hapaiia'ku ko'u Akua e ola'i.
Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength, and the God of my saluation 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 giueth me power to auenge me, and subdueth the people vnder 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.
O my deliuerer from mine enemies, euen thou hast set mee vp from them, that rose against me: thou hast deliuered mee from the cruell 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 prayse thee, O Lord, among the nations, and wil sing vnto thy 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.
Great deliuerances giueth hee vnto his King, and sheweth mercie to his anoynted, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.
