Halelu 41

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Blessed is he who considers the poor and needy. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

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 protect him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

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 sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

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. Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

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

My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"

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 he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

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 who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

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

"A wicked thing is poured out on him; and he who lies down will not rise 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 own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel 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, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

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 know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over 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.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

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.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen and amen.
