Halelu 39
1 I IHO ia au, e malama au i ko'u hele ana, O hana hewa au me kuu alelo: E malama au i kuu waha me ka paawaha, I ka wa o ka mea lawehala imua o'u.
To the excellent musician Ieduthun. I thought, I will take heede to my wayes, that I sinne not with my tongue: I will keepe my mouth brideled, while the wicked is in my sight.
2 Ua mumule loa au me ka leo ole, Aole au i pane aku, aole i ka maikai; A ua hoola hou ia kuu kaumaha.
I was dumme and spake nothing: I kept silece euen from good, and my sorow was more stirred.
3 Wela mai kuu naau maloko o'u; I kuu noonoo ana aa iho la ke ahi; Olelo aku la hoi au me kuu alelo,
Mine heart was hote within me, and while I was musing, the fire kindeled, and I spake with my tongue, saying,
4 E hoiko mai ia'u, o Iehova, i ko'u hopena; A me ke ano o ka ana ana o kuu mau la, I ike au i ko'u palupalu ana.
Lord, let me know mine ende, and the measure of my dayes, what it is: let mee knowe howe long I haue to liue.
5 Eia hoi, ua hoohalike oe i kuu mau la me ka palahalaha o ka peahilima; A me kuu mau makahiki me he mea ole la imua ou; He oiaio, he hanu wale no kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hoonoho paa ia. (Sila)
Beholde, thou hast made my dayes as an hand breadth, and mine age as nothing in respect of thee: surely euery man in his best state is altogether vanitie. (Selah)
6 Oiaio, ke hele nei kela kanaka keia kanaka me he aka oiaio ole la: He oiaio, ma ka mea lapuwale i pihoihoi ai lakou: Hoahu ae la ia i ka waiwai aole hoi i ike i ka mea nana ia e ohi.
Doubtlesse man walketh in a shadowe, and disquieteth himselfe in vaine: he heapeth vp riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.
7 Ano hoi, heaha ka'u e kali nei, e ka Haku? O ko'u manao lana aia no maluna o'u.
And now Lord, what wait I for? mine hope is euen in thee.
8 E hookaawale aku i ko'u mau hewa a pau; Mai noho a hoolilo ia'u i mea e hoinoin'i e ka poe naaupo.
Deliuer me from all my transgressions, and make me not a rebuke vnto the foolish.
9 Ua mumule loa au, aole hoi o ekemu kuu waha; No ka mea, nau no i hana mai.
I should haue bene dumme, and not haue opened my mouth, because thou didest it.
10 E lawe aku i kou hahau ana mai o'u aku nei: Ua pau e au i ka hahau ana mai o kou lima.
Take thy plague away from mee: for I am consumed by the stroke of thine hand.
11 Aia hahau oe i ke kanaka me ka papa ana mai no kona hewa, Ua hoopau oe i kona nani me he mu la; Oiaio, he hanu wale no na kanaka a pau. (Sila)
When thou with rebukes doest chastise man for iniquitie, thou as a mothe makest his beautie to consume: surely euery man is vanitie. (Selah)
12 E hoolohe mai i ka'u pule, e Iehova, E haliu mai i ka pepeiao i ko'u kahea ana; Mai noho a hookuli i ko'u waimaka: No ka mea, he malihini au me oe, He mea noho iki e like me ko'u mau makua a pau.
Heare my prayer, O Lord, and hearken vnto my cry: keepe not silence at my teares, for I am a strager with thee, and a soiourner as all my fathers.
13 E hookoe mai ia'u, i loaa hou mai ka ikaika ia'u. Mamua o ko'u hele ana aku, a e ole loa hoi.
Stay thine anger from me, that I may recouer my strength, before I go hence and be not.
