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.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Abimelech.” Why gloriest thou in mischief, thou man of violence? The goodness of God yet continueth daily.
2 Ua hoomakaukau kou alelo i na mea hewa; Me he pahi umiumi la, e hana malu ana.
Thy tongue deviseth mischief, Like a sharp razor, thou contriver of 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)
Thou lovest evil more than good, And to lie more than to speak truth. (Pause)
4 Makemake no oe i na olelo a pau e pau ai, E ke alelo kumakaia.
Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou 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)
Thee also shall God utterly destroy! o He shall seize thee, and tear thee from thy dwelling-place, And uproot thee from the land of the living. (Pause)
6 E ike no hoi ka poe pono, a e weliweli, A e akaaka lakou ia ia.
The righteous shall see and fear, And shall 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 that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And placed his strength in his wickedness!”
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 shall be like a green olive-tree in the house of God; I will trust in the goodness of God 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 praise thee for ever for what thou hast done; I will trust in thy name, because it is good, Before the eyes of thy godly ones!
