Halelu 44
1 E KE Akua, ua lohe makou me ko makou mau pepeiao, Ua hai mai ko makou mau makua ia makou, I na hana au i hana'i i ko lakou mau la, i na wa kahiko.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. We haue heard with our eares, O God: our fathers haue tolde vs the workes, that thou hast done in their dayes, in the olde time:
2 Kipaku aku la oe i na lahuikanaka me kou lima, a hookomo mai ia lakou la; Hoopilikia iho la oe i na kanaka a kiola aku la:
Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thine hand, and planted them: how thou hast destroyed the people, and caused them to grow.
3 No ka mea, aole me ka lakou pahikaua iho i loaa ai ia lakou ka aina; Aole hoi no ko lakou lima ponoi i hoola iho ia lakou iho: Aka, o kou peahi akau, a me kou lima, a me ka malamalama o kou maka; No ka mea, ua lokomaikai mai oe ia lakou.
For they inherited not the lande by their owne sworde, neither did their owne arme saue them: but thy right hand, and thine arme and the light of thy countenance, because thou didest fauour them.
4 O oe no ko'u Alii, e ke Akua; E kauoha mai i ka hoola ana ia Iakoba.
Thou art my King, O God: send helpe vnto Iaakob.
5 Ma ou la e pahu aku ai makou i ko makou poe enemi: Ma kou inoa e hehi iho ai makou i ka poe ku e iluna ia makou.
Through thee haue we thrust backe our aduersaries: by thy Name haue we troden downe them that rose vp against vs.
6 No ka mea, aole ma kuu kakaka e hilinai aku ai au: Aole hoi e hoola mai ka'u pahikaua ia'u.
For I do not trust in my bowe, neither can my sworde saue me.
7 Aka, nau no makou i hoopakele i ko makou poe enemi, A ua hoohoka oe i ka poe i inaina mai ia makou.
But thou hast saued vs from our aduersaries, and hast put them to confusion that hate vs.
8 Iloko o ke Akua e kaena ai makou a po ka la, A e hoomaikai mau loa aku i kou inoa. (Sila)
Therefore will wee praise God continually, and will confesse thy Name for euer. (Selah)
9 Aka, ua haalele ae nei oe a ua hoohilahila ia makou; Aole hoi oe i hele pu me ko makou poe kaua.
But now thou art farre off, and puttest vs to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.
10 A ua hoohuli oe ia makou i hope mai ka enemi mai; A o ka poe hoowahawaha ia makou, ua hao mai lakou no lakou iho.
Thou makest vs to turne backe from the aduersary, and they, which hate vs, spoile for theselues.
11 Ua haawi oe ia makou me he mau hipa la e lilo i ai; Ua hoopuehu hoi ia makou iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
Thou giuest vs as sheepe to bee eaten, and doest scatter vs among the nations.
12 Ua kuai hoolilo aku oe i kou poe kanaka no ka mea ole, Aole hoi i hoomahuahua ma ka uku no lakou.
Thou sellest thy people without gaine, and doest not increase their price.
13 Ua waiho oe ia makou he mea e hoinoia iwaena o ko makou poe hoanoho, He mea e hoowahawaha ai a e henehene ai no ka poe e hoopuni ana ia makou.
Thou makest vs a reproche to our neighbours, a iest and a laughing stocke to them that are round about vs.
14 Ua hoolilo oe ia makou i huaolelo ino, A i luli poo ana iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
Thou makest vs a prouerbe among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people.
15 E mau ana ko'u hoinoia imua o ko'u maka; A ua uhi mai ka hilahila o ko'u maka ia'u:
My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me,
16 No ka leo o ka mea i hailiili a i hoino wale mai; No ka enemi hoi a me ka mea hoopai.
For the voyce of the slaunderer and rebuker, for the enemie and auenger.
17 Ua pau ia mea i ke kau mai maluna o makou, Aole hoi makou i hoopoina ia oe; Aole hoi i hoopunipuni makou ma kou berita.
All this is come vpon vs, yet doe wee not forget thee, neither deale wee falsly concerning thy couenant.
18 Aole i hoohuliia ko makou naau, Aole hoi i kapae ae ko makou mau kapuwai mai kou aoao ae;
Our heart is not turned backe: neither our steps gone out of thy paths,
19 Ua hanapepe loa oe ia makou ma kahi nahesa; A ua hoouhi mai oe ia makou me ka malu o ka make.
Albeit thou hast smitten vs downe into the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadow of death.
20 Ina i hoopoina makou i ka inoa o ko makou Akua, Ina i kikoo aku ko makou mau lima i kahi akua wahahee;
If wee haue forgotten the Name of our God, and holden vp our hands to a strange god,
21 Aole anei i imi ke Akua ia mea? No ka mea, ua ike oia i na mea huna o ka naau.
Shall not God searche this out? for hee knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Oiaio, nou makou i pepehiia'i a po ka la; Ua manaoia makou me he mau hipa la e hoomakeia.
Surely for thy sake are we slaine continually, and are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.
23 E ala'e, o ke aha kou mea e hiamoe ai, e ka Haku? E ku mai hoi iluna, mai haalele mai ia makou a mau loa.
Vp, why sleepest thou, O Lord? awake, be not farre off for euer.
24 No ke aha la i huna ai oe i kou maka? A i hoopoina hoi i ko makou popilikia, a me ko makou hooluhihewaia?
Wherefore hidest thou thy face? and forgettest our miserie and our affliction?
25 No ka mea, ua kulou iho ko makou uhane i ka lepo; Ua pili ko makou opu i ka honua.
For our soule is beaten downe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto the ground.
26 E ku mai oe e kokua no makou, A e hoola ia makou no kou aloha.
Rise vp for our succour, and redeeme vs for thy mercies sake.
