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 Lord God has spoken: He summons the earth from sunrise to sunset.
2 Mai loko mai o Ziona ka hemolele o ka nani, I hoomalamalama mai ai ke Akua.
From Zion, perfection of beauty, God’s glory shines 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 comes, he cannot keep silence, devouring fire is before him, and furious tempest around him.
4 E kahea oia i ka lani mai luna mai, A i ka honua hoi, e hooponopono oia i kona poe kanaka.
He summons the heavens above and the earth to judge 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 to him his saints by covenant-sacrifice bound to him;
6 E hoike hoi ka lani i kona pono; No ka mea, o ke Akua oia ka Lunakanawai. (Sila)
that the heavens may declare his justice, for a God of justice is he. (Selah)
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, and protest to you, O Israel: I am the Lord, your God.
8 Aole au e hoahewa ia oe no kou mau alana, A me kou mau mohaikuni i mau imua o ko'u alo.
Not for your sacrifices will I reprove you your 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:
Not a bullock will I take from your house, nor male goats out of your 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 beasts of the forest are mine, and the kine 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 air, all that moves on the fields is mine.
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.
Were I hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fulness are mine.
13 E ai anei au i ka io o na bipikane? E inu anei au i ke koko o na hipa kane?
Am I such as to eat bulls’ flesh, 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 a thank-offering, pay the Most High your vows.
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.
Summon me in the day of distress, I will rescue you, so will you honor 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?
But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to talk of my statutes, or take my covenant into your mouth
17 No ka mea, he hoowahawaha kou i ke aoia'na; A ke kiola nei oe i ka'u olelo mahope aku ou.
while you yourself hate correction, and cast my words behind you?
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 you see a thief, you run with them; with adulterers you keep company.
19 Ke haawi nei oe i kou waha i ka ino, A ke hookui nei kou alelo i ka hoopunipuni.
You let your mouth loose for evil, your tongue contrives deceit.
20 Ke noho nei oe me ka hoino i kou hoahanou; Ke aki wale nei oe i ke keiki a kou makuwahine.
You shamefully speak of your kin, and slander your 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.
And because I kept silence at this, you did take me for one like yourself. But I will convict you and show you plainly.
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.
“Now you who forget God, mark this, lest I rend you, past hope of deliverance.
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.
Those who bring a thank-offering honor me; but to those: who follows my way, I will show the salvation of God.”
