Halelu 34
1 E HOOMAIKAI aku au ia Iehova i na manawa a pau; E mau ana i kuu waha ka hoolea nona.
A psalm of David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him out. I will praise Yahweh 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.
I will praise Yahweh! May the oppressed hear and rejoice.
3 E hoonui hoi oukou ia Iehova me au nei, A e hapai pu kakou i kona inoa.
Praise Yahweh with me, let us lift up 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 Yahweh and he answered me, and he gave me victory over all my fears.
5 Nana aku la lakou ia ia a malamalama iho la lakou; Aole hilahila ko lakou mau maka.
Those who look to him are 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 oppressed man cried and Yahweh heard him and saved him from 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 Yahweh camps around those who fear him and rescues them.
8 E hoao oukou a e ike hoi he maikai no Iehova; Pomaikai ke kanaka i paulele ia ia.
Taste and see that Yahweh 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.
Fear Yahweh, you his holy people. There is no lack for 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 sometimes lack food and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh will not lack anything good.
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, sons, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
12 Owai ke kanaka i makemake i ke ola, I makemake hoi i na la he nui i ike ai oia i ka maikai?
What man is there 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.
Then keep your tongue from evil and keep 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 go after 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 Yahweh are on the righteous and his ears are directed toward their cry.
16 Ku e ka maka o Iehova i ka poe hewa, E hoonalo loa ia lakou mai ka honua aku.
The face of Yahweh 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 Yahweh hears and he rescues them from all their troubles.
18 Kokoke mai no o Iehova i ka poe naau palupalu; A hoola no hoi oia i na mea uhane mihi.
Yahweh is close to the brokenhearted, and he saves those who are crushed in 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 troubles of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers them out of them all.
20 Malama no hoi oia i kona mau iwi, Aohe mea o lakou i haki.
He keeps all his bones, not one of them will be broken.
21 E hoomake no ka hewa i ke kanaka aia; A e hoopaiia ka poe inaina i ka poe pono.
Evil will kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 Hoola o Iehova i ka uhane o kana poe kauwa: Aohe mea paulele ia ia o lilo i ka hoopaiia.
Yahweh rescues the lives of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
