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.
For the leader. Of the servant of the Lord, of David. Sin whispers within the heart of the wicked, who have no dread of God before their eyes.
2 No ka mea, malimali oia ia ia iho imua o kona mau maka iho, A ikeia kona hewa he mea e hoowahawahaia.
It flatters them in their eyes that their sin will not be found out.
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.
First, their speech becomes wicked and false, they give up acting wisely and well.
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.
Then they plot deliberate wrong, take their stand on the wicked way, without the least shrinking from 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 love, O Lord, touches the heavens, your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
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 justice is like the great mountains, your judgments are like the broad sea. Lord, you save people and animals.
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 your love, O God! All may seek shelter in 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 feast on the fat of your house, they drink of your brook of delights.
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 fountain of life, in the light that is yours 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.
O continue your grace to the faithful, your love 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.
Let no arrogant foot tread upon me, no wicked hand drive me to exile.
12 Aia ka poe hana hewa ua hina; Ua hoohioloia lakou ilalo, aole e hiki ia lakou ke ku iluna.
There the workers of wrong lie prostrate, thrust down to rise up no more.
