Halelu 36
1 O KA lawehala ana o ka mea hewa, oia ke olelo iloko o ko'u naau, Aohe weliweli i ke Akua imua o kona alo.
An inner sanctuary is within my heart about the rebellious breach of relationship of the wicked: “There is no fear of Elohim ·Deity, Judge· before his eyes.”
2 No ka mea, malimali oia ia ia iho imua o kona mau maka iho, A ikeia kona hewa he mea e hoowahawahaia.
For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his depravity (moral evil).
3 O na olelo a kona waha he hewa ia a me ka hoopunipuni: Ua haalele oia i ka naauao a me ka hana maikai.
The words of his mouth are vain striving of iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4 Kukakuka oia i ka hewa maluna o kona wahi moe; Ke ku nei no hoi ia ma ka aoao pono ole: Aole ia i hoowahawaha i ka hewa.
He plots vain striving of iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He does not abhor evil.
5 O kou aloha, e Iehova, aia no i ka lani; A o kou oiaio, e hiki aku no ia i ke ao.
Your chesed ·loving-kindness·, Adonai, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6 O kou pono na like ia me na kuahiwi o ke Akua; A o kou hooponopono ana he moana nui no ia; Ua malama oe i ke kanaka a me ka holoholona.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Adonai, you preserve man and animal.
7 Nani ka hemolele o kou lokomaikai, e ke Akua! Nolaila, e kanaho ai na keiki a kanaka i ka malu o kou mau eheu.
How precious is your chesed ·loving-kindness·, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 E oluolu loa lalkou i ka mea momona o kou hale; A e hoohainu oe ia lakou i ko ka muliwai o ka olioli nou.
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
9 No ka mea, aia no ia oe ke kumuwai o ke ola: A iloko o kou malamalama e ike ai makou i malamalama.
For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.
10 E hoomau oe i kou lokomaikai i ka poe ike ia oe, A me kou pono i ka poe naau pololei.
Oh continue your chesed ·loving-kindness· to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Mai noho a pa mai ke kapuwai o ka haaheo ia'u; Aole hoi o lawe aku ka lima o ka mea hewa ia'u.
Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Aia ka poe hana hewa ua hina; Ua hoohioloia lakou ilalo, aole e hiki ia lakou ke ku iluna.
There the workers of vain striving of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
