Halelu 41

1 POMAIKAI ke kanaka i manao i ka popilikia: E hoakea mai o Iehova ia ia i ka wa ino.

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.

2 E hoomalu mai o Iehova a e hoomau i kona ola; A e hoopomaikaiia no ia maluna o ka honua; Aole hoi oe e haawi ia ia i ka makemake o kona poe enemi.

The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.

3 E hooikaika mai no hoi o Iehova ia ia maluna o kahi moe e nawaliwali ai: E pau no hoi ia oe kona moena i ka koomakaukauia i kona mai ana.

The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength.

4 I aku la au, E Iehova, e aloha mai ia'u; E hoola i kuu uhane, no ka mea, ua hana hewa aku au ia oe.

I said, Lord, have mercy on me; make my soul well, because my faith is in you.

5 Ke olelo hewa nei ko'u poe enemi no'u; Ahea la e make ia, a e lilo kona inoa?

My haters say evil against me, When will he be dead, and his name come to an end?

6 Ina i hele mai ia e ike mai, Ua olelo no ia ma ka lapuwale; Houluulu hoi kona naau i ka hewa nona iho; A puka ia iwaho, hai aku la no ia.

If one comes to see me, deceit is in his heart; he keeps a store of evil, which he makes public in every place.

7 Hawanawana ku e pu mai ia'u na mea a pau i inaina mai ia'u; Kukakuka ku e mai lakou i ka hewa no'u.

All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.

8 He mea ino ka i pili loa ia ia: A ke moe ia ia, aole e ala hou ae.

They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

9 Oiaio, o ko'u hoaaloha a'u i hilinai aku ai, Ka mea i ai i ka'u berena, Oia ka i hapai ku e i kona kuekue wawae ia'u.

Even my dearest friend, in whom I had faith, who took bread with me, is turned against me.

10 Aka, e aloha mai oe, e Iehova, ia'u; E hooku hou ia'u iluna e uku aku au ia lakou.

But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.

11 Ma keia mea i ike ai au i kou lokomaikai ana mai ia'u: No ka mea, aole i hooho olioli ko'u enemi maluna o'u.

By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.

12 A owau nei la, ke hooku paa nei oe ia'u i ko'u pono, Ke hoonoho mau ia'u imua o ko'u alo.

And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.

13 E hoomaikai mau ia'ku o Iehova ke Akua o Iseraela, Mai ke ao kumu ole, a i ke ao pau ole. Amene, Amene.

May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.
