Halelu 49
1 E HOOLOHE mai i keia, e na kanaka a pau: E haliu maikai i ka pepeiao, e ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ke ao nei:
HEAR this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
2 Na mea haahaa a me na mea kiekie, Pau pu hoi ka poe waiwai, a me ka poe waiwai ole.
Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 E olelo aku kuu waha i ke akamai; A ma ka naauao ka manao ana o ko'u naau.
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
4 E haliu aku au i kuu pepeiao i ka olelo nane; E hoomaka au i kuu mele ma ka lira.
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5 O ke aha kuu mea e makau ai, i na la ino, E hoopuni mai ai ka poe ku e malu mai ia'u?
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
6 O ka poe hilinai i ko lakou ikaika iho, A i hoomaikai ia lakou iho no ka nui o ko lakou waiwai;
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 Aohe mea o lakou e hiki ia ia ke hoopakele i kona hoahanau; Aole hoi e haawi i ka uku hoola i ke Akua nona;
None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (No ka mea, o ka hoola ana i ko lakou uhane, he nui ke kumukuai; A ua oki mau loa no ia; )
(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever: )
9 I ola mau loa oia, a i ole hoi e ike i ka palaho.
That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
10 No ka mea, ua ike no ia ua make na kanaka naauao, Pela hoi ua make ka mea naaupo a me ka mea manao ole, A waiho hoi lakou i ko lakou waiwai no na mea e.
For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 O ko lakou manao oloko e mau loa ko lakou mau hale, A me ko lakou mau wahi e noho ai ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku: Mamuli o ko lakou inoa iho i kapa ai lakou i ko lakou mau aina.
Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Aka, o ke kanaka iloko o ka hanohano, aole i mau; Ua like ia me na holoholona i hoopauia.
Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13 O keia aoao o lakou o ko lakou lapuwale no ia: Aka, ua hoopono ko lakou mau hope i ko lakou mau olelo. (Sila)
This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. (Selah)
14 Me he mau hipa la ua waihoia lakou i ka luakupapau: E ai no ka make ia lakou; E lanakila ka poe pono maluna o lakou i ke kakahiaka; A e pau e ko lakou nani iloko o ka luakupapau, mai kona wahi i noho ai. (Sheol h7585)
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. (Sheol h7585)
15 Aka, e hoopakele ke Akua i kuu uhane i ka lima o ka malu o ka make; No ka mea, e hookipa no oia ia'u. (Sila) (Sheol h7585)
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
16 Mai makau oe i ka waiwai nui ana o kekahi, I ka wa e mahuahua ai ka nani o kona hale;
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 No ka mea, i kona make ana, aohe mea kana e lawe pu ai; Aole e iho kona nani mamuli ona.
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18 Aka hoi, i kona ola ana, ua hoomaikai oia i kona uhane; A e mahalo ae na kanaka ia oe i kou wa e hana maikai ai ia oe iho.
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
19 E hele no oia i ka hanauna o kona mau makua; Aole lakou e ike i ka malamalama.
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20 O ke kanaka iloko o ka hanohano, me ka naauao ole, Ua like ia me na holoholona i hookiia.
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
