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.

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that does 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 down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek 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 gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that does 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.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called 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 were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God has scattered the bones of him that camps against you: you have put them to shame, because God has despised 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 brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
