Halelu 19
1 KE hoakaka mai net na lani i ka nani o ke Akua; Ke hoike mai nei ke aouli i kana hana io.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.
2 Ko hai mai nei kela la i keia la i ka olelo, Ke ao mai nei kela po i keia po i ka ike.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 Aohe leo, aohe olelo; Aohe i lohea ko lakou leo.
There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard.
4 Ua pae aku la ka lakou ao ana i na aina a pau. Ua hiki aku la ka lakou olelo i na welau o ka honua: Maloko o lakou i kukulu ai oia i halelewa no ka la;
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,
5 Ua like no ia me ke kane mare e puka mai ana mai kona keena: Ua olioli ia me he kanaka ikaika la e heihei ana.
And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.
6 Mai ka welau mai o ka lani kona hele ana; A ua hiki kona poai ana i na welelau o ke ao: Aole mea i hunaia i kona wela.
His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 O ko kanawai o Iehova, he hemolele no ia, e hoohuli ana i ka uhane: O ka olelo a Iehova, he oiaio no ia, e hoonaauao ana i ka mea naaupo.
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;
8 O na kapu o Iehova, he maikai no ia, e hoohauoli ana i ka naau; O ke kauoha a Iehova, he laelae no ia, e hoomalamalama ana i na maka.
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 O ka makau ia Iehova, he maemae no ia, e oia mau ana no; O na oihana a Iehova, he pololei no ia, a me ka pono wale io no.
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:
10 He mau mea ia e makemake nui ia, aole ke gula, aole hoi ke gula maikai he nui wale; Ua oi aku ko lakou ono i ko ka meli a me ka waihona meli.
They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.
11 A, ua aoia mai no hoi kau kauwa e lakou; No ka malama ana ia lakou he nui wale ka waiwai.
Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Owai ka mea i helu pono i kona lalau ana? E hoomaemae oe ia'u i na hewa i nalo.
Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify me from secret [faults].
13 E kaohi mai oe i kau kauwa mai na hewa nui, i pio ole ai au ia lakou; Alaila e kupono au, a e kaawale hoi au i ka hewa loa.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.
14 I maikai ka olelo a ko'u waha, a me ka manao o ko'u naau, Imua o kou alo, e Iehova, e ko'u Ikaika, a me ko'u Hoola.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
