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 OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF DOEG THE EDOMITE, AND HE DECLARES TO SAUL AND SAYS TO HIM, “DAVID CAME TO THE HOUSE OF AHIMELECH.” Why do you boast in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.
2 Ua hoomakaukau kou alelo i na mea hewa; Me he pahi umiumi la, e hana malu ana.
Your tongue devises mischiefs, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
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 loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
4 Makemake no oe i na olelo a pau e pau ai, E ke alelo kumakaia.
You have loved all devouring words, O you deceitful 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)
Also—God breaks you down forever, Takes you, and pulls you out of the tent, And He has uprooted you Out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 E ike no hoi ka poe pono, a e weliweli, A e akaaka lakou ia ia.
And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.
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.
“Behold, the man who does not make God his strong place, And trusts in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.”
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.
And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, For all time and forever,
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 thank You for all time, because You have done [it], And I wait [on] Your Name for [it is] good before Your saints!
