Halelu 41
1 POMAIKAI ke kanaka i manao i ka popilikia: E hoakea mai o Iehova ia ia i ka wa ino.
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.
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.
Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into 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.
Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
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 — I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'
5 Ke olelo hewa nei ko'u poe enemi no'u; Ahea la e make ia, a e lilo kona inoa?
Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!
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.
And if he came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.
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 hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
8 He mea ino ka i pili loa ia ia: A ke moe ia ia, aole e ala hou ae.
A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not 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 mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the 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.
And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to 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 have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not 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 to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
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 [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
