Halelu 18
1 E ALOHA aku no au ia oe, e Iehova, e ko'u ikaika.
TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID, WHO HAS SPOKEN TO YHWH THE WORDS OF THIS SONG IN THE DAY YHWH DELIVERED HIM FROM THE HAND OF ALL HIS ENEMIES, AND FROM THE HAND OF SAUL, AND HE SAYS: I love You, O YHWH, 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.
YHWH [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: 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 YHWH, the Praised One, 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.
Cords of death have surrounded me, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.
Cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Snares of death have been before 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 adversity I call YHWH, And I cry to my God. He hears my voice from His temple, And My cry comes into His ears before Him.
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.
And the earth shakes and trembles, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake—because He has wrath.
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 has gone up from His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumes, Coals have been kindled by it.
9 Ua hoohaahaa iho la oia i na lani, a iho mai la; Malalo hoi o kona mau wawae ka pouli.
And He inclines the heavens, and comes down, And thick darkness [is] 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 rides on a cherub, and flies, And He flies on wings of 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 makes darkness His secret place, Around Him His dwelling place, 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.
From the brightness before Him His thick clouds have passed on, 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.
And YHWH thunders in the heavens, And the Most High gives forth His voice, Hail 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.
And He sends His arrows and scatters them, And much lightning, and crushes 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 streams of waters are seen, And foundations of the earth are revealed, From Your rebuke, O YHWH, From the breath of the wind of Your anger.
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 sends from above—He takes me, He draws 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 delivers me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been 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 go before me in a day of my calamity And YHWH is for a support to me.
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 brings me forth to a large place, He draws me out, 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.
YHWH repays me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He returns to 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 YHWH, And have not done 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 judgments [are] before me, And I do not turn His statutes from me.
23 Ua kupono hoi au imua ona; Ua hookaawale mai au ia'u iho mai ko'u hewa mai.
And I am perfect with Him, And I keep 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.
And YHWH returns to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness 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 kind You show Yourself kind, With a perfect man You 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 show Yourself pure, And with the perverse You show Yourself a wrestler,
27 No ka mea, e hoola ana oe i ka poe i hooluhiia; Aka, e hoohaahaa oe i na maka kiekie.
For You save a poor people, And cause the eyes of the high to fall.
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 light my lamp, My God YHWH enlightens 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 run [against] a troop! And by my God I leap 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.
God—perfect [is] His way, The saying of YHWH is tried, He [is] a shield to all those trusting in Him.
31 Owai ke Akua, ina aole o Iehova; Owai ka pohaku, ina aole ko kakou Akua?
For who [is] God besides YHWH? And who [is] a rock 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.
God—who is girding me [with] strength, And He 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.
Making my feet like does, And on my high places causes me to stand.
34 Ua ao mai no oia i ko'u mau lima e kaua; I haki ai i ko'u lima ke kikoo keleawe.
Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of bronze was brought down by my 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.
And You give to me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand supports me, And Your lowliness makes me great.
36 Ua hoakea oe i ko'u mau kapuwai malalo iho o'u; Aole hoi i pahee kuu mau wawae.
You enlarge my step under me, And my ankles 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 pursue my enemies, and overtake them, And do 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 strike them, and they are not able to rise, They 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.
And You gird me [with] strength for battle, You cause my withstanders to bow under 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.
As for my enemies—You have given to me the neck, As for those hating me—I cut them off.
41 Ua kabea aku la lakou, aohe hoi mea e ola'i; Ia Iehova hoi, aole no hoi ia i ae mai.
They cry, and there is no savior, On YHWH, and He does 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.
And I beat them as dust before wind, I empty them out as 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 deliver me From the strivings of the people, You place me for a head of nations, A people I have not known 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.
At the hearing of the ear they listen to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,
45 E mae aku ana no na kanaka e: E makau ana lakou ma ko lakou wahi paa.
Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain 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.
YHWH lives—and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is 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:
God—who is giving vengeance to me, And He 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.
My deliverer from my enemies, You raise me above my withstanders, Deliver me from a man of violence.
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 confess You among nations, O YHWH, And I sing praise 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.
Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed—for all time!
