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.
[Wicked people continually desire to] sin. They consider [IDM] that they do not need to revere God.
2 No ka mea, malimali oia ia ia iho imua o kona mau maka iho, A ikeia kona hewa he mea e hoowahawahaia.
Because they are very proud, they do not think that God will discover their sins and condemn them (OR, they do not think about their sins and hate themselves for it).
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.
[Everything] that they say is deceitful and full of lies; they no longer do what is good and are no longer wise.
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.
While they are lying on their beds, they plan to do things to harm [others]; they are determined to do things that are not good, and they never refuse [to do what is] evil.
5 O kou aloha, e Iehova, aia no i ka lani; A o kou oiaio, e hiki aku no ia i ke ao.
Yahweh, your faithful love for us reaches as high as the heavens, you faithfully [do what you have promised]; [it is as though your doing that] extends up to 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 righteous behavior is [as permanent as] the highest mountains [MET], your acting justly [will continue as long as] the deepest oceans [exist]. You take care of people and you take care of 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.
God, your faithful love for us is very precious. You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings [MET].
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.
You provide for us plenty of food from the abundant supply [IDM] that you have; your great blessings for us [flow] like a river.
9 No ka mea, aia no ia oe ke kumuwai o ke ola: A iloko o kou malamalama e ike ai makou i malamalama.
You are the one who causes everything to live; your light is what enables us to see.
10 E hoomau oe i kou lokomaikai i ka poe ike ia oe, A me kou pono i ka poe naau pololei.
Continue to faithfully love those who have experienced a relationship with you, and bless those who act righteously/justly.
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.
Do not allow proud people [SYN] to attack me, or allow wicked people to chase me away.
12 Aia ka poe hana hewa ua hina; Ua hoohioloia lakou ilalo, aole e hiki ia lakou ke ku iluna.
Look where evil people have fallen on the ground, defeated; they were thrown down, and they will never rise again.
