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.

For the Leader; upon Mahalath. Maschil of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, and have done abominable iniquity; 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 forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.

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

Every one of them is unclean, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth 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.

'Shall not the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon 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 are they in great fear, where no fear was; for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee; Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath rejected them.

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 that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
