Halelu 28
1 I A oe, e Iehova, e kahea aku ai au e kuu pohaku, mai hookuli mai oe ia'u; O like auanei au me ka poe iho ilalo o ka Iua, ke hookuli mai oe ia'u.
Of David. To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.
2 E hoolohe mai i ka leo o ka'u pule, i ko'u kahea ana'ku ia oe, I ka hapai ana o kuu mau lima i kou wahi hoano.
Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
3 Mai alako ae ia'u me ka poe aia, me ka poe hana hewa, Ka poe olelo aloha i ko lakou mau hoalauna, He hewa no nae maloko o ko lakou mau naau.
Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.
4 E haawi ia lakou e like me ka lakou mau hana; A mamuli o ka hewa o ko lakou hooikaika ana; E haawi ia lakou mamuli o ka hana o ko lakou mau lima; E uku ia lakou no ka lakou hana.
Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.
5 No ka mea, aole lakou i manao i na hana a Iehova, Aole hoi i ka hana ana o kona mau lima, E wawahi oia ia lakou, aole e kukulu ia lakou iluna.
Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.
6 E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova, No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai no ia i ka leo a ka'u mau pule.
Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.
7 O Iehova kuu ikaika a me kuu palekaua; Ia ia i hilinai ai kun naau, a ua kokuaia mai au; Nolaila i hauoli nui ai kuu naau, A ma kuu mele e hoolea aku ai au ia ia.
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.
8 O Iehova ko lakou ikaika; Oia hoi ka ikaika e ola'i kona mea i poniia.
The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
9 E hoola i kou poe kanaka, a e hoomaikai i kou hooilina: E hanai ia lakou, a e kaikai ia lakou a mau loa.
Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
