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,
BY DAVID. Strive, YHWH, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
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 rise 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.
And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. 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.
They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
5 E like lakou me ka opala imua o ka makani, A e alualu ka anela o Iehova.
They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of YHWH driving away.
6 A pouli mai, a pahee hoi ko lakou alanui, A e alualu hoi ka anela a Iehova ia lakou.
Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of YHWH—their pursuer.
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 hid their net [in] a pit for me, Without cause they 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.
Desolation meets him—he does not know, And his net that he hid catches him, He falls into it for desolation.
9 E hauoli ko'u uhane ia Iehova; E olioli no hoi i kona hoola ana.
And my soul is joyful in YHWH, It rejoices 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 say, “YHWH, who is like You, Delivering the poor from the [one] stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.”
11 Ua ku iluna na hoike wahahee; Ua hookolokolo mai lakou ia'u ma na mea a'u i ike ole ai.
Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
12 Ua uku mai lakou ia'u me ka hewa no ka pono, I haalele loa ia ko'u uhane.
They pay me evil for good, bereaving 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.
And I—in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled my soul with fastings, And my prayer returns to my 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.
As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I habitually walked, As a mourner for a mother, I have bowed down mourning.
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.
And they have rejoiced in my halting, And have been gathered together, The strikers were gathered against me, And I have not known, They have torn, and they have not ceased;
16 Iwaena o na aia hoakaaka ma na ahaaina, Nau mai lakou i ko lakou mau niho ia'u.
With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing their teeth against 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.
Lord, how long do You behold? Keep my soul back from their desolations, My only one from young 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 thank You in a great assembly, I praise You among a mighty 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.
Do not let my enemies rejoice over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
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 do not speak peace, And against the quiet of the land, They devise deceitful words,
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 enlarge their mouth against me, They said, “Aha, aha, our eye has seen.”
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, O YHWH, Do not be silent, O Lord—do not be 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, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
24 E hoopono mai ia'u, e Iehova kuu Akua, mamuli o kou pono; Mai noho a hauoli lakou maluna o'u.
Judge me according to Your righteousness, O YHWH my God, And they do 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.
They do not say in their heart, “Aha, our desire.” They do not say, “We 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.
They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying 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.
They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they continually say, “YHWH is magnified, Who is desiring 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 utters Your righteousness, All the day Your praise!
