< 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.
For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork;
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 revealeth knowledge;
3 Aohe leo, aohe olelo; Aohe i lohea ko lakou leo.
There is no speech, there are no words, neither is their voice 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 words to the end 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.
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
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 heaven, 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 the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD 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 the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD 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 the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, 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.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and 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 warned; in keeping of 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 can discern his errors? Clear Thou me from hidden 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, that they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, and I shall be clear 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 before Thee, O LORD, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
