Halelu 22
1 E KO'U Akua, e ko'u Akua, no ke aha la oe i haalele mai ia'u? A i ole ai e kokua iki mai ia'u i ka leo o ko'u ulono ana?
For the music director. To the tune “Doe of the Dawn.” A psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan, asking for help?
2 E ko'u Akua e, ua kahea au i ke ao, aole nae oe i lohe mai; A i ka po hoi, aole i hoomaha iki.
My God, every day I cry out to you, but you don't answer; at night too, but I get no rest.
3 Aka, o oe ka mea hemolele, E noho ana iloko o ka Iseraela hoolea ana.
Yet you are holy, and the praises of Israel are your throne.
4 Ua hilinai aku ko makou mau makua ia oe; Ua manaoio lakou, a nau no lakou i hoola
Our forefathers trusted in you; they trusted and you rescued them.
5 Ua kahea lakou ia oe, a ua hoolaia no hoi; Ua paulele lakou ia oe, aole hoi lakou i hoka,
They cried out to you for help, and they were saved. They trusted in you and were not defeated.
6 Aka, he enuhe au, aole he kanaka; He mea hoinoia e ko ke ao nei, A i hoowahawahaia e na kanaka.
But I'm a worm, not a man, scorned and despised by everyone.
7 Ua hoomauakala mai ka poe a pau ke ike mai ia'u; Ua hooioi mai lakou i ka lehelehe me ka hooluli i ke poo,
People who see me mock me. They laugh at me and shake their heads, saying,
8 I iho la, ua paulele aku la oia ia Iehova i ola oia ia ia, Nana no ia e hoola ke olioli mai oia ia ia.
“He trusts in the Lord—well then, let the Lord save him! If the Lord is such a friend, then let the Lord rescue him!”
9 Nau no wau i hookaawale mai ka opu mai; Ua hoolana oe i ko'u manao ma na u o ko'u makuwahine.
However, you brought me safely through birth, and led me to trust in you at my mother's breasts.
10 Ua waihoia'ku au maluna ou mai ka opu mai; Mai ka opu mai o ko'u makuwahine, o oe no ko'u Akua.
I was entrusted to you from birth; from the time I was born you have been my God.
11 Mai hoomamao aku oe ia'u, ke kokoke mai nei ka popilikia; Aohe mea nana e kokua mai.
Do not be distant from me, because trouble is close by and no one else can help.
12 He nui na bipi kane i hoopuni mai ia'u; Ua puni au i na mea ikaika no Basana.
Enemies surround me like a herd of bulls; strong bulls from Bashan have encircled me.
13 Ua hamama mai la ko lakou mau waha ia'u E like me ka liona hae e uwo ana.
Like roaring lions tearing at their prey they open their mouths wide against me.
14 Ua nininiia'ku au me he wai la, Ua pau ko'u mau iwi i ka haihai; Ua like ko'u puuwai me he pilali la: Ua hooheeia ia iwaena konu o ko'u mau naau.
I feel like I'm being poured out like water. I'm falling apart as if all my bones have become loose. My mind feels like it's wax melting inside me.
15 Ua pau ko'u ikaika i ka maloo me he apana ipu lepo la; Ua pipili ko'u alelo i ko'u mau a; Ua hookomo oe ia'u iloko o ka lepo o ka make.
My strength has dried up like a piece of broken pottery. My tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth. You're burying me as if I'm already dead.
16 Ua hoopuni mai na ilio ia'u; Ua poaiia mai au e ke anaina kanaka hewa; Ua o mai lakou i ko'u mau lima a me ko'u mau wawae.
Evil men surround me like a pack of dogs. They have pierced my hands and feet.
17 E hiki no ia'u ke helu i ko'u mau iwi a pau; Ua haka mai lakou ia'u me ka makahahi.
I'm so thin I can count all my bones. People stare at me and gloat.
18 Ua puunaue lakou i ko'u mau kapa no lakou; A o ko'u aahu ka lakou i hailona ai.
They divide my clothing among them; they roll dice for my clothes.
19 Aka, mai hoomamao aku oe ia'u, e Iehova; E ko'u Ikaika, e papaana mai oe e kokua mai ia'u.
But you, Lord, don't be far away from me! You are my strength—hurry, come and help me!
20 E hoopakele oe i ko'u uhane i ka pahikaua, I ko'u makamae hoi i ka lima o ka ilio.
Save me from death by the sword! Save my life—the only one I have—from the dogs!
21 E hoola mai oe ia'u i ka waha o ka liona; Ua lohe mai oe ia'u ma na hao o na reema.
Rescue me from the mouth of the lion and from the wild bulls!
22 E hai aku no wau i kou inoa i ko'u mau hoahanau; E hoolea hoi au ia oe mawaena o ke anaina kanaka.
I will tell my people all the wonderful things you have done; I will praise you in the congregation.
23 E ka poe makau ia Iehova, e hoolea oukou ia ia; E hoonani oukou ia ia, e na pua a pau a Iakoba; E hoomana imua ona, e na mamo a pau a Iseraela.
Praise the Lord, all who worship him! Honor him, every descendant of Jacob! Be in awe of him, every descendant of Israel!
24 No ka mea, aole ia i hoowahawaha, aole hoi i hoaikola i ka poino o ka mea i hooluhiia; Aole ia i huna aku i kona maka ia ia; Aka, i kona kahea ana aku ia ia, ua hoolohe mai no ia.
For he has not ridiculed or scorned the suffering of the poor; he has not turned away from them, he has listened to their cries for help.
25 Ia oe ko'u hoolea ana iwaena o ke anaina nui; E hooko aku au i ka'u i hoohiki ai, imua o ka poe weliweli ia ia.
You are the subject of my praise in the great assembly. I will fulfill my promises before those who worship you.
26 E ai no ka poe akahai a maona: E hoolea aku no ia Iehova ka poe e imi ia ia; E ola mau loa ko oukou naau.
The poor shall eat, and they shall be satisfied. All who come to the Lord will praise him—may you all live forever!
27 E hoomanao iho, a e huli mai no ia Iehova, na welelau a pau o ka honua; E pau no na ohana o na lahuikanaka i ka hoomana imua ou:
Everyone in the whole world will repent and return to the Lord; all the nations will worship before you.
28 No ka mea, no Iehova ke aupuni; Oia hoi ke Alii iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
For kingly power belongs to the Lord; he is the one who rules over the nations.
29 E ai no me ka hoomana ka poe waiwai a pau ma ka honua: O ka poe a pau e iho ana i ka lepo, e kulou lakou imua ona: Aohe mea e hoola i kona uhane iho.
All who prosper come to feast and worship. Bow down before him, all those destined for the grave—for none can keep themselves alive.
30 E malama no kekahi mau mamo ia ia; E kapaia lakou he hanauna no ka Haku.
Our descendants will serve him; they will tell the next generation about the Lord.
31 E hele mai no lakou, e hai ana i kona pono I ka lahuikanaka e hanau ana, oia kana i hana'i.
They will come and tell those yet to be born how good the Lord is, and all that he has done!
