Halelu 50
1 U A olelo mai no ke Akua mana, o Iehova, Ua kahea mai oia i ka honua mai ka hikina a ka la a i ke komohana.
“A psalm of Asaph.” The mighty God, Jehovah, speaketh, and calleth the earth, From the rising of the sun to its going down.
2 Mai loko mai o Ziona ka hemolele o ka nani, I hoomalamalama mai ai ke Akua.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shineth forth.
3 E hele mai ana no ko kakou Akua, aole e noho wale: E ai no hoi ke ahi imua ona. A e ikaika mai ka ino a puni ia.
Our God cometh, and will not be silent; Before him is a devouring fire, And around him a raging tempest.
4 E kahea oia i ka lani mai luna mai, A i ka honua hoi, e hooponopono oia i kona poe kanaka.
He calleth to the heavens on high, And to the earth, while he judgeth his people:
5 E houluulu mai oukou i ko'u mau haipule io'u nei, I ka poe i berita mai me au nei ma ka mohai.
“Gather together before me my godly ones, Who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
6 E hoike hoi ka lani i kona pono; No ka mea, o ke Akua oia ka Lunakanawai. (Sila)
(And the heavens shall declare his righteousness, For it is God himself that is judge., Pause)
7 E hoolohe mai, e ko'u poe kanaka, a e olelo aku au; E Iseraela, a e hoike ku e au ia oe; Owau no ke Akua, kou Akua no.
“Hear, O my people, and I will speak! O Israel, and I will testify against thee! For I am God, thine own God.
8 Aole au e hoahewa ia oe no kou mau alana, A me kou mau mohaikuni i mau imua o ko'u alo.
I reprove thee not on account of thy sacrifices; For thy burnt-offerings are ever before me.
9 Aohe bipi kane ka'u e lawe ai mai loko mai o kou hale; Aole hoi kao kane mai loko mai o kou mau pa holoholona:
I will take no bullock from thy house, Nor he-goat from thy folds;
10 No ka mea, na'u no na holoholona a pau o ka ululaan, A me na holoholona laka maluna o na puu he tausani.
For all the beasts of the forest are mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 Ua ike au i na manu a pau o na mauna; No'u no hoi na holoholona o ke kula.
I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are before me.
12 Ina i pololi au, aole au e hai aku ia oe; No ka mea, no'u no ke ao nei a me kona mea e piha ai.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and all that is therein.
13 E ai anei au i ka io o na bipikane? E inu anei au i ke koko o na hipa kane?
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
14 E mohai i ka hoomaikai ana i ke Akua; A e haawi i ka mea kiekie loa i kau mea i hoohiki ai nona:
Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay thy vows to the Most High!
15 A e kahea mai ia'u i ka la popilikia; A e hoopakele au ia oe, a e hoonani mai no hoi oe ia'u.
Then call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me!”
16 Aka, ke olelo nei ke Akua i ka mea hewa, Heaha kau e hai aku ai i ko'u mau kanawai? A e lawe ai i kuu berita ma kou waha?
And to the wicked God saith, “To what purpose dost thou talk of my statutes? And why hast thou my laws upon thy lips?—
17 No ka mea, he hoowahawaha kou i ke aoia'na; A ke kiola nei oe i ka'u olelo mahope aku ou.
Thou, who hatest instruction And castest my words behind thee!
18 A i kou wa i ike ai i ka aihue, ua ae pu oe me ia: Ua lawe pu oe me na mea moe kolohe.
When thou seest a thief, thou art in friendship with him, And hast fellowship with adulterers.
19 Ke haawi nei oe i kou waha i ka ino, A ke hookui nei kou alelo i ka hoopunipuni.
Thou lettest loose thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit;
20 Ke noho nei oe me ka hoino i kou hoahanou; Ke aki wale nei oe i ke keiki a kou makuwahine.
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21 Oia na mea au i hana'i, a hookuli hoi au; Manao iho la oe, he mea like loa au me oe; Aka, e hoahewa au ia oe, a e hoonohonoho pono imua o kou alo.
These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Hence thou thoughtest that I was altogether like thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set it in order before thine eyes.
22 E hoomanao oukou i keia, ano, e ka poe hoopoina i ke Akua, O haehae aku au, aole hoi he mea e ola'i.
Mark this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and none deliver you!
23 O ka mea mohai i ka hoolea no'u oia ke hoonani mai ia'u: O ka mea hoopono i kona hele ana o ka'u ia e hoike ai i ke ola o ke Akua.
Whoso offereth praise honoreth me; And to him who hath regard to his ways Will I show salvation from God.”
