Halelu 35
1 E HAKAKA, e Iehova, me na mea i hakaka me au: E paio oe me ka poe i paio mai ia'u,
Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2 E lalau i ka palekaua a me ka uhikino, A e ku mai oe iluna i kokua no'u
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3 Unuhi ae hoi oe i ka ihe a e keakea i ka poe alualu hewa mai ia'u: E olelo mai i kuu uhane, Owau no kou ola.
Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am your salvation.
4 E hoka a e hoohilahilaia ka poe i kii mai i ko'u uhane; E hoohuliia'ku lakou i hope, a e hoohokaia hoi na mea i kukakuka i ka ino no'u.
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5 E like lakou me ka opala imua o ka makani, A e alualu ka anela o Iehova.
Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
6 A pouli mai, a pahee hoi ko lakou alanui, A e alualu hoi ka anela a Iehova ia lakou.
Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
7 No ka mea, i ka hala ole, huua lakou i ka lakou upena no'u, Iloko o ka lua a lakou i eli ai no kuu uhane, i ka hala ole.
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have dug for my soul.
8 E kau mai ka make ike ole ia maluna ona; A e hoohei ia ia iho kana upena i huna ai; Iloko o ua make la e haule iho ai oia.
Let destruction come upon him at unexpectedly; and let his net that he has hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9 E hauoli ko'u uhane ia Iehova; E olioli no hoi i kona hoola ana.
And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 E olelo aku no hoi ka'u mau iwi a pau, E Iehova, owai la ka mea like me oe? Ka mea i hoopakele i ka mea haahaa i ka mea i oi ka ikaika i kona, Oia hoi, o ka mea ilihune me ka nele i ka mea hao wale ia ia?
All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto you, which deliver the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoils him?
11 Ua ku iluna na hoike wahahee; Ua hookolokolo mai lakou ia'u ma na mea a'u i ike ole ai.
False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 Ua uku mai lakou ia'u me ka hewa no ka pono, I haalele loa ia ko'u uhane.
They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 Aka, owau nei la, i ko lakou mai ana, O ke kapa ino ka'u i aahu ai: A hookaumaha au i kuu uhane me ka hookeai, A ua hoi mai ka'u pule iloko o kuu poli iho.
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14 Ua hele au me he mea la o ko'u hoaaloha, a o ko'u hoahanau paha ia: Ua kulou iho au me ke kaumaha, E like me ka mea kanikau no kona makuwahine.
I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourns for his mother.
15 Aka, i kuu oopa ana, olioli lakou, a akoakoa hoi, Oia hoi ua akoakoa ku e ia ia'u ka poe aki, aole hoi au i ike, Ua haehae mai lakou ia'u aole i noho malie.
But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the outcasts gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 Iwaena o na aia hoakaaka ma na ahaaina, Nau mai lakou i ko lakou mau niho ia'u.
With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 E ka Haku, pehea ka loihi o kou nana ana mai? E hoopakele i kuu uhane i ko lakou luku ana, A i ko'u makamae i na liona.
Lord, how long will you look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 E hoomaikai aku au ia oe iloko o ke anaina nui; E hoolea aku au ia oe iwaena o na kanaka lehulehu.
I will give you thanks in the great congregation: I will praise you among much people.
19 Mai noho a hauoli hewa mai ko'u mau enemi maluna o'u: A imo me ka maka ka poe inaina wale mai ia'u.
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 No ka mea, aole lakou i olelo ma ke kuikahi; Ua kukakuka lakou i na mea hoopunipuni ku e i na mea noho malie ma ka aina.
For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Oiaio, ua hoohamama loa lakou i ko lakou waha ia'u; I iho la lakou, Aia la! aia la! ua ike ko makou maka ia.
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.
22 Oia kau i ike mai ai, e Iehova, mai hakanu oe, E ka Haku, mai noho a mamao aku ia'u.
This you have seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23 E paipai ia oe iho, e ala'e hoi e hoopono ia'u; Ma kuu mea e hakaka ai, e kuu Akua, e kuu Haku hoi.
Stir up yourself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 E hoopono mai ia'u, e Iehova kuu Akua, mamuli o kou pono; Mai noho a hauoli lakou maluna o'u.
Judge me, O LORD my God, according to your righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Mai noho a olelo lakou iloko o ko lakou naau, Aia la! O ko makou makemake no ia: Mai noho a olelo lakou, Ua ale kakou ia ia.
Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 E hoka a e hoohilahila pu ia no hoi ka poe hauoli i ko'u poino; E hoaahuia me ka hilahila a me ka hoinoia ka poe haanui ku e mai ia'u.
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
27 E hooho i ka olioli a e hauoli hoi ka poe kokua i kuu pono; A e olelo mau lakou, E mahaloia'ku o Iehova, Ka mea i oluolu i ka pomaikai o kana kauwa nei.
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 A e hai aku kuu alelo i kou hoopono ana, A i ka hoolea nou a po ka la.
And my tongue shall speak of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long.
