Halelu 52
1 NO ke aha la e hoonui ai oe ma ka hewa, e ke kanaka ikaika? E mau loa ana no ka lokomaikai o ke Akua.
To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?
2 Ua hoomakaukau kou alelo i na mea hewa; Me he pahi umiumi la, e hana malu ana.
Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.
3 Makemake no oe i ka ino, aole i ka maikai; A i ka hoopunipuni ana hoi, aole i ka olelo i ka pono. (Sila)
You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah)
4 Makemake no oe i na olelo a pau e pau ai, E ke alelo kumakaia.
Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.
5 E hoohiolo mai no hoi ke Akua ia oe a mau loa, E kiola aku oia ia oe, a kaili aku mai loko aku o kou wahi i noho ai, A e uhuki ae hoi oia ia oe mailoko ae o ka aina o ka poe ola. (Sila)
But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah)
6 E ike no hoi ka poe pono, a e weliweli, A e akaaka lakou ia ia.
The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:
7 Aia hoi, oia ke kanaka i lawe ole i ke Akua i ikaika nona; Aka, ua hilinai i ka nui o kona waiwai iho, A ua hooikaika ia ia iho iloko o kona hewa.
See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.
8 Aka, he mea like au me ka laauoliva uliuli iloko a ka hale o ke Akua; E hilinai mau aku wau i ke aloha o ke Akua a mau loa aku.
But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.
9 E hoolea mau loa aku au ia oe, No ka mea, nau no ia i hana; E hilinai hoi au i kou inoa; No ka mea, he pono ia imua o kou poe haipule.
I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.
