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,
[A Psalm] of David. Judge you, O Lord, them that injure 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 arise for my 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.
Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to 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 that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
5 E like lakou me ka opala imua o ka makani, A e alualu ka anela o Iehova.
Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting 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 an angel of the Lord persecuting 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 they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached 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 a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.
9 E hauoli ko'u uhane ia Iehova; E olioli no hoi i kona hoola ana.
But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight 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, O Lord, who is like to you? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yes, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
11 Ua ku iluna na hoike wahahee; Ua hookolokolo mai lakou ia'u ma na mea a'u i ike ole ai.
Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I new 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, and bereavement to 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 I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my [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 agreeably towards them as [if it had been] our neighbor [or] brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.
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.
Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew [it] not: they were scattered, but repented not.
16 Iwaena o na aia hoakaaka ma na ahaaina, Nau mai lakou i ko lakou mau niho ia'u.
They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.
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.
O Lord, when will you look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one 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 thanks to you even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise you.
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 without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.
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 to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in [their] anger.
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.
And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen [it].
22 Oia kau i ike mai ai, e Iehova, mai hakanu oe, E ka Haku, mai noho a mamao aku ia'u.
You have seen [it], O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not [yourself] 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.
Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, [even] to 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, according to your righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against 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, Aha, aha, [it is pleasing] to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.
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 confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words 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 that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace 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 meditate on your righteousness, [and] on your praise all the day.
