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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows 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 after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3 Aohe leo, aohe olelo; Aohe i lohea ko lakou leo.
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not 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 voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has 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 room, like a strong man rejoicing 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 out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
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.
Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant 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.
Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment 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 Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and 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 to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract 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 your servant is warned by them. 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 can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
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 your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of 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 your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
