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.
To the Overseer. — An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O 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 thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of 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 tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, 'Where [is] thy 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 I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!
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.
What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance — My God!
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.
In me doth my soul bow itself, Therefore I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, 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 unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed 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.
By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song [is] 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 say to God my rock, 'Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an 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.
With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, 'Where [is] thy 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.
What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
