Halelu 42
1 E LIKE me ka dia e makemake ana i ka wai kahe, Pela e makemake nei ko'u uhane ia oe, e ke Akua.
For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.
2 Ke makewai nei ko'u uhane i ke Akua, i ke Akua ola; Ahea la hiki aku au, a ikeia mai imua o ke Akua?
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
3 Ua lilo ko'u mau waimaka i ai na'u i ke ao a me ka po, Ia lakou i olelo mau mai ai ia'u, Auhea kou Akua?
My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
4 A hoomanao aku au ia mau mea, ninini iho au i ko'u uhane iloko o'u: No ka mea, ua hele au me ka lehulehu, Hele pu no wau me lakou i ka hale o ke Akua, Me ka leo o ka olioli, a me ka hoolea, Me ke anaina malama i ka ahaaina.
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
5 No ke aha la oe e hoohaahaaia, e kuu uhane? No ke aha la oe i paumako ai iloko o'u? E manao laua aku oe i ke Akua; No ka mea, e hoolea auanei au ia ia, No ke kokua ana mai o kona maka.
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
6 E ko'u Akua, ua hoohaahaa ko'u uhane iloko o'u: Nolaila e hoomanao aku ai au ia oe ma ka aina Ioredane, A ma na Heremona a me ka mauna Mizara.
My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.
7 Ke kahea nei kekahi hohonu i kekahi hohonu, I ka halulu mau ana o kou waipuilani; Ua popoi mai na ale me na nalu maluna'e o'u.
Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me.
8 Aka, i ke ao e kauoha mai o Iehova i kona lokomaikai, A i ka po, eia auanei me au ka mele nona, A me ka'u pule i ke Akua o ko'u ola nei.
Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.
9 E olelo aku au i ke Akua i ko'u Pohaku, No ke aha la oe e hoopoina mai ai ia'u? No ke aha la e u hele ai au no ka hooluhihewa ana mai o ka enemi?
I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 Me he pahikaua la iloko o ko'u mau iwi, Ke hoino mai nei ko'u poe enemi ia'u; I ka lakou olelo ana mai ia'u i kela la i keia la, Auhea la kou Akua.
As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
11 No ke aha la oe i hooliaahaaia'i, e ko'u uhane? No ke aha la oe i paumako ai iloko o'u? E hoolana i ka manao i ke Akua; No ka mea, e hoolea auanei au ia ia; Oia ke ola o ko'u maka, a me kuu Akua.
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God.
