Halelu 31
1 KE hilinai aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, aole loa au o hoka; Ma kou pono e hoola mai oe ia'u.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” In thee, O LORD! do I trust; let me never be put to shame; According to thy goodness deliver me!
2 E haliu mai kou pepeiao ia'u, e hoola koke mai ia'u; E lilo oe i pohaku paa no'u, i hale e malu ai e ola'i au.
Bow down thine ear to me; help me speedily! Be to me a strong rock, a high fortress, for my deliverance!
3 No ka mea, o oe no ko'u pohaku a me kuu pakaua; Nolaila, no kou inoa e alakai oe ia'u, a e malama mai ia'u.
For thou art my rock and my high fortress; Be thou also my guide, and lead me, for thy name's sake!
4 E kaili oe ia'u mailoko o ka upena a lakou i waiho malu ai no'u; No ka mea, o oe no ko'u ikaika.
Draw me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For thou art my strength!
5 Ke haawi aku nei au i kuu uhane iloko o kou lima; Ua hoopakele mai oe ia'u, e Iehova ke Akua oiaio.
Into thy hand I commit my life; Thou wilt deliver me, O LORD, thou God of truth!
6 Ua hoowahawaha au i ka poe manao ma na mea lapuwale hoopunipuni; Aka, ke hilinai aku nei au ia Iehova.
I hate those who regard lying vanities, And put my trust in the LORD.
7 E olioli au, a e hauoli hoi i kou aloha; No ka mea, ua manao mai oe i kuu kaumaha; Ua ike hoi oe i ko'u uhane iloko o ka popilikia;
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy, That thou hast looked upon my trouble, And hast had regard to my distress;
8 Aole oe i hoopaa ia'u iloko o ka lima o ka enemi; Ua hooku oe i kuu mau wawae ma kahi akea.
That thou hast not given me up to the hands of my enemies, But hast set my feet in a wide place.
9 E aloha mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, no ka mea, ua pilikia au: Ua pau e kuu maka i ke kaumaha, a me kuu uhane a me kuu opu.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD! for I am in trouble! My face is consumed with grief; Yea, my spirit and my body.
10 No ka mea, ua pau kuu ola nei i ke kaumaha, A me kuu mau makahiki i ka u ana: Ua pau e kuu ikaika no kuu hewa, Ua pauhia hoi ko'u mau iwi.
For my life is wasted with sorrow, And my years with sighing; My strength faileth by reason of my affliction, And my bones are consumed on account of all my enemies.
11 Lilo aku la au i mea hoinoia iwaena o ko'u poe enemi a pau, He mea hoino nui ia iwaena o ko'u mau hoauoho, He mea weliweli no hoi no ko'u mau hoalauna: O ka poe ike mai ia'u mawaho, holo aka lakou mai o'u aku nei.
I have become the scorn of my neighbors, And the terror of my acquaintance; They who see me abroad flee from me.
12 Ua poina hoi au me he kanaka make la i nalo iho: Ua like no hoi au me ka ipu nahaha.
I am forgotten like a dead man out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.
13 No ka mea, ua lohe no au i ka hoino ana o na mea he nui: He makau no ma na aoao a puni; I ka wa i ohumu ku e mai ai lakou ia'u, Kukakuka lakou e kaili wale aku i kuu ola,
I hear the slander of many; fear is on every side; For they take counsel together against me; They devise to take away my life.
14 Aka, i hilinai aku au ia oe, e Iehova; I aku la au, o oe no ko'u Akua.
But I trust in thee, O Jehovah! I say, “Thou art my God!”
15 Aia no i kou lima kuu mau manawa; E hoopakele oe ia'u i ka lima o ko'u poe enemi, A me ka poe alualu hewa mai ia'u.
My destiny is in thy hand; Deliver me from the power of my enemies and persecutors!
16 E hoomalamalama mai kou maka i kau kauwa nei: E hoola mai oe ia'u no ko'u aloha.
Let thy face shine upon thy servant, And save me through thy mercy!
17 E Iehova, aole au e hoka, No ka mea, ua kahea aku au ia oe: E hoka ka poe hewa, A e waiho leo ole lakou iloko o ka luakupapau. (Sheol h7585)
Let me not be put to shame, O LORD! for I have called upon thee; Let the wicked be put to shame; Let them be silenced in the grave! (Sheol h7585)
18 E hoopaaia na lehelehe hoopunipuni; Na mea olelo hookano me ka haakei, I na mea kaumaha i ku e i ka mea pono.
Let lying lips be put to silence, Which speak proud things against the righteous, With haughtiness and contempt!
19 Nani ka mea maikai au i hoahu ai no ka poe weliweli ia oe; Au i hana'i hoi no ka poe hilinai ia oe imua o na keiki a kanaka!
O how great is thy goodness, which thou treasurest up for them that fear thee; Which thou showest to them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
20 E huna oe ia lakou ma kahi malu o kou alo mai ka ohumu ana o kanaka; E malama malu oe ia lakou maloko o ka halelewa mai ka paio ana o na elelo.
Thou hidest them in the secret place of thy presence from the machinations of men; Thou shelterest them in thy pavilion from the violence of tongues.
21 E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova: No ka mea, ua hookupanaha oia i kona aloha ia'u iloko o ke kulanakauhale paa.
Praised be the LORD; for he hath shown me his wonderful kindness, As in a fortified city!
22 A i kuu wikiwiki, i iho la an, Ua okiia'e no au mai mua'e o kou mau maka; Aka, ua hoolohe mai no hoi oe i ka leo o ka'u pule ana, I kuu kahea ana'ku ia oe.
I said in my distress, “I am cut off from before thine eyes;” But thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, When I cried unto thee.
23 E aloha aku ia Iehova, e kona poe haipule a pau; No ka mea, ua malama mai o Iehova i ka poe hoopono, A ua uku nui mai no ia i ka mea hana hookano.
O love the LORD, all ye his servants; For the LORD preserveth the faithful, And requiteth the proud in full measure!
24 E hoolana oukou, a e hooikaika mai oia i ko oukou naau, E ka poe a pau e hilinai ana ia Iehova.
Be of good courage; let your hearts be strong, All ye who trust in the LORD!
