Halelu 18
1 E ALOHA aku no au ia oe, e Iehova, e ko'u ikaika.
To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto 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: And he said, I will love thee, 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 rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] 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 will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I 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 sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: 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.
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came 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 trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
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 out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: 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: and 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 rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon 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 secret place; his pavilion round about him [were] dark waters [and] 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 [that was] before him his thick clouds passed, hail [stones] 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 heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] 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.
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited 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.
Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy 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 above, 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, and from them which hated 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 prevented me in the day of my calamity: 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.
He brought me forth 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 rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath 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.
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 judgments [were] before me, and 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 upright before him, and I kept 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.
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed 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 thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
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 shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
27 No ka mea, e hoola ana oe i ka poe i hooluhiia; Aka, e hoohaahaa oe i na maka kiekie.
For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
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 thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten 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 thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped 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 word of the LORD is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 Owai ke Akua, ina aole o Iehova; Owai ka pohaku, ina aole ko kakou Akua?
For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save 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 girdeth me with strength, and maketh 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 maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet], and setteth me upon 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 teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
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 given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
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 under me, that my feet did not slip.
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 have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were 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 have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen 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 thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those 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.
Thou hast also given me the necks 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 cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even] unto the LORD, but he 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 did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in 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.
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: 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 strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 E mae aku ana no na kanaka e: E makau ana lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 Ke ola mau nei no Iehova, e hoomaikaiia ko'u pohaku, E hapaiia'ku ko'u Akua e ola'i.
The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; 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 avengeth me, and subdueth the people 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 delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered 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 will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto 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 deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
