Halelu 53

1 U A olelo ka aia iloko o kona naau, Aohe Akua. Ua hewa pu lakou, ua hana hoi lakou i na mea e inainaia; Aohe mea i hana ma ka pono.

To him that excelleth on Mahalath. A Psalme of David to give instruction. The foole hath saide in his heart, There is no God. they haue corrupted and done abominable wickednes: there is none that doeth good.

2 Nana mai la ke Akua mai luna mai o ka lani i na keiki a kanaka, I ike mai i kekahi mea naauao paha e imi ana i ke Akua.

God looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that would vnderstand, and seeke God.

3 Pau lakou i ka hoi hope pu; Pau pu lakou i ka haumia; Aohe mea hana maikai, aole loa hookahi.

Euery one is gone backe: they are altogether corrupt: there is none that doth good, no not one.

4 Aole anei naauao iki ko ka poe hana hewa? Ka poe e pau ai ko'u poe kanaka i ka aiia, E like me ko lakou ai ana i ka berena: Aole lakou i kahea i ke Akua.

Doe not the workers of iniquitie knowe that they eate vp my people as they eate bread? they call not vpon God.

5 Malaila makau loa lakou ma kahi makau ole; No ka mea, ua hoohelelei ke Akua i na iwi o ka mea hoomoana ku e ia oe: Ua hoohilahila oe ia lakou, No ka mea, ua hoowahawaha mai ke Akua ia lakou.

There they were afraide for feare, where no feare was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that besieged thee: thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath cast them off.

6 Nawai la ke ola e haawi mai i ka Iseraela mailoko mai o Ziona? Aia hoihoi mai ke Akua i ke pio ana o kona poe kanaka, E hauoli no o Iakoba, e olioli no hoi o Iseraela.

Oh giue saluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when God turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shalbe glad.
