Halelu 55
1 E HALIU mai i ka pepeiao i ka'u pule, e ke Akua, Mai hoonalo ia oe iho mai ka'u nonoi ana aku.
“To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David.” Give ear, O God, to my prayer, and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 E nana mai ia'u a e hoolohe mai ia'u; Ke u nei au i ko'u manao ana, me ka auwe;
Listen unto me, and answer me: I mourn in my grief, and moan;
3 No ka leo o ka enemi, No ka hooluhi hewa ana mai o ka mea hewa: No ka mea, ua hooili mai lakou i ka hewa maluna o'u, A i ka ukiuki ua inaina mai lakou ia'u.
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast wrong upon me, and in wrath they attack me.
4 Ua ehaeha loa ko'u naau iloko o'u; A ua haule mai ko ka make mau mea weliweli maluna o'u.
My heart is sorely pained within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Ua kau mai maluna o'u ka makau a me ka haalulu; Ua popoiia mai au e ka weliweli.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and shuddering hath covered me.
6 A olelo iho la au, Owai ka mea e haawi ia'u i mau eheu me he manu nunu la? E lele aku au i kahi e, a e hoomaha iho.
And I said, Oh that some one would give me wings like a dove! I would fly away and dwell [quietly].
7 Aia hoi e hele kaawale loa aku au, A e noho ma ka waonahele. (Sila)
Lo, I would flee far away, I would spend my night in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 Alaila e hoolalelale au i kuu pakele ana, I ka makani nui o ka ino.
I would prepare hastily a refuge for me from the sweeping wind [and] from storm.
9 E hookae, e Iehova, a hoomokuahana i ka lakou mau alelo: No ka mea, ua ike au i ka hooluhi wale a me ka hakaka ana malok'o o ke kulanakauhale.
Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city;
10 I ke ao, a me ka po, i holoholo ai lakou maluna o kona mau pa; He kolohe, a he pioloke ka iwaena konu ona.
Day and night do these encompass it upon her walls: and wrong and trouble are in her midst.
11 Iwaena konu ona ka hana hewa ana; Aole haalele ka hoopunipuni a me ka wahahee i kona mau alanui.
Mischief is in her midst: guile and deceit depart not from her streets.
12 No ka mea, aole he enemi, ka i hoino mai ia'u; Ina pela hiki no ia'u ke hoomanawanui: Aole ka mea inaina mai ia'u ka i hookiekie ku e mai ia'u; Ilaila i pee aku ai au mai ona aku la:
For it is not an enemy that reproached me; then I could bear it: not he that hateth me hath magnified himself against me; then I would have hidden myself from him;
13 Aka, o oe no ia, he kanaka e ku like ana me au, Ka'u punahele, a o ko'u hoalauna hoi.
But it is thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance;
14 Ua kamailio oluolu pu kaua, A ua hele pu i ka hale o ke Akua me ka lehulehu.
So that we took sweet secret counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in tumultuous company.
15 E lalau mai ka make ia lakou, E iho koke lakou ilalo i ka malu o ka make; No ka mea, he hewa ko loko o ko lakou mau hale, a iwaena o lakou. (Sheol h7585)
Let him dispense death over them; let them go down alive into the nether world; for evil is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Aka, owau nei la, e kahea aku au i ke Akua; A e hoola mai no o Iehova ia'u.
I, however, will call on God: and the Lord will save me.
17 I ke ahiahi, i ke kakahiaka, i ke awakea, e pule aku ai au, A e kahea nui aku au; a e hoolohe mai oia i ko'u leo.
At evening and morning and noon will I make my complaint and moan: and he heareth my voice.—
18 Me ka maluhia e hoopakele oia i ko'u uhane i ke kaua mai ia'u; No ka mea, ua nui ka poe me au.
He delivereth my soul in peace from the battle against me; for in multitudes are they [contending] with me.
19 E hoolohe mai no ke Akua, a e hoohaahaa ia lakou, O ka mea mai kahiko mai. (Sila) No ka mea, aohe o lakou luli ana; Nolaila, aole o lakou makau i ke Akua.
God will hear, and humble them—yea, he that sitteth enthroned from the oldest time Selah—those who dread no changes, and fear not God.
20 Ua kikoo oia i kona lima i ka mea e kuikahi ana me ia; Ua uhai oia i kana berita.
He stretcheth out his hands against those at peace with him: he violateth his covenant.
21 Ua oi aku ka pahee o kana mau olelo mamua o ko ka bata, Aka, he kaua ko loko o kona naau: Ua oi aku ka oluolu o kana mau olelo i ko ka aila; Aka, he mau pahikaua unuhiia lakou.
The creamy words of his mouth are smooth, yet there is war [in] his heart; his words are softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords.
22 E waiho aku i kau mea kaumaha maluna o Iehova, A e Kokua mai oia ia oe: Aole loa ia e waiho mai i ka mea pono e hoonauweia.
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 Aka, e ke Akua, e hoohaahaa iho oe ia lakou i ka lua o ka make: O na kanaka koko a me ka hoopunipuni, aole lakou e ola a pau ka hapalua o ko lakou mau la; Aka, e hilinai aku au ia oe.
But thou, O God, thou wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: let not the men of blood and deceit live out half their days; but I will indeed trust in thee.
