Halelu 41
1 POMAIKAI ke kanaka i manao i ka popilikia: E hoakea mai o Iehova ia ia i ka wa ino.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Happy is he who hath regard to the poor! The LORD will deliver him in 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 preserve him, and keep him alive; He shall be happy on the earth; Thou wilt not give him up 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 strengthen him upon the bed of disease; All his bed thou wilt change in his sickness.
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, O LORD! be merciful to me! Heal me, for I have sinned against thee!
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 of 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 one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth malice; When he goeth abroad, he uttereth 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 that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise mischief:
8 He mea ino ka i pili loa ia ia: A ke moe ia ia, aole e ala hou ae.
“A deadly disease cleaveth fast unto him; He lieth down, and he shall never arise!”
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.
Yea, my familiar friend in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, —He hath 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 do thou, O LORD! have pity upon me; Raise me up, that I may requite 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 thou favorest me, Because my enemy doth not 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, thou wilt uphold me in my integrity; Thou wilt set me before thy 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.
[Praised be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen! Amen!]
