Halelu 34
1 E HOOMAIKAI aku au ia Iehova i na manawa a pau; E mau ana i kuu waha ka hoolea nona.
[By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.] I will bless the LORD at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.
2 E hauoli kuu uhane ia Iehova; E lohe mai ka poe hoohaahaa a e olioli no hoi.
My soul shall boast in the LORD. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.
3 E hoonui hoi oukou ia Iehova me au nei, A e hapai pu kakou i kona inoa.
Oh magnify the LORD with me. Let us exalt his name together.
4 Ua imi aku au ia Iehova a ua hoolohe mai ia ia'u; Ua hoopakele mai oia ia'u i ka'u mau mea e makau ai a pau.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Nana aku la lakou ia ia a malamalama iho la lakou; Aole hilahila ko lakou mau maka.
They looked to him and were radiant, and their faces are not ashamed.
6 Kahea aku la keia kanaka ilihune, A hoolohe mai la o Iehova ia ia, A hoopakele oia i kona popilikia a pau.
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 Hoomoana mai ka anela o Iehova a puni ka poe weliweli ia ia, A ua hoopakele hoi ia lakou.
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 E hoao oukou a e ike hoi he maikai no Iehova; Pomaikai ke kanaka i paulele ia ia.
Oh taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9 E weliweli aku ia Iehova, e ka poe haipule a pau; No ka mea, aole e nele ka poe weliweli ia ia.
Oh fear the LORD, you his holy ones, for there is no lack with those who fear him.
10 Ua nele a ua pololi na liona opiopio; Aka, o ka poe imi ia Iehova, aole e nele i ka mea maikai.
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
11 E hele mai, e na kamalii, e hoolohe mai ia'u; A e ao aku au ia oukou i ka weliweli ia Iehova:
Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Owai ke kanaka i makemake i ke ola, I makemake hoi i na la he nui i ike ai oia i ka maikai?
Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 E kaohi i kou alelo mai ka hewa, A me kou mau lehelehe i ole e olelo ino.
Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.
14 E haalele i ka hewa a e haua ma ka pono; E imi i ka maluhia, a malaila e hahai ai.
Turn away from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Kau pono na maka o Iehova i ka poe pono, A me kona mau pepeiao i ko lakou kahea ana.
The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.
16 Ku e ka maka o Iehova i ka poe hewa, E hoonalo loa ia lakou mai ka honua aku.
The LORD's face is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 Kahea na mea pono, a hoolohe mai no hoi o Iehova; A hoakea mai no oia ia lakou i ko lakou popilikia a pau.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 Kokoke mai no o Iehova i ka poe naau palupalu; A hoola no hoi oia i na mea uhane mihi.
The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
19 He nui no ka pilikia ana o ka mea pono: A hoakea mai no hoi o Iehova ia ia, mai ia mea a pau.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 Malama no hoi oia i kona mau iwi, Aohe mea o lakou i haki.
He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.
21 E hoomake no ka hewa i ke kanaka aia; A e hoopaiia ka poe inaina i ka poe pono.
Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 Hoola o Iehova i ka uhane o kana poe kauwa: Aohe mea paulele ia ia o lilo i ka hoopaiia.
The LORD redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
