Halelu 58
1 KE olelo nei auei oukou i ka pono, e ke anaina? Ke hooponopono pololei anei oukou, e na keiki a kanaka?
TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Is it true, O silent one, that you speak righteously? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
2 Ua hana io nae oukou i ka hewa maloko o ko oukou naau: Ke kaupaona nei hoi oukou i ka lawe wale ana o ko oukou mau lima ma ka honua.
Even in heart you work iniquities, In the land you ponder the violence of your hands.
3 Ua aea wale ka poe hewa mai ka opu mai; Ua auwana lakou mai ka hanau ana, e olelo wahahee ana.
The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
4 O ko lakou aa make, ua like ia me ka awaawa make o ka nahesa; Ua like lakou me ka moopetena kuli i papani i kona pepeiao;
Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf cobra shutting its ear,
5 Ka mea e lohe ole no i ka leo o ka poe hoowalewale, E hoowale wale ana me ke akamai loa.
Which does not listen to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of most skillful charms.
6 E uhai ae i ko lakou mau niho, e ke Akua, iloko o ko lakou waha; E uhai oe i na niho o na liona opiopio, e Iehova.
O God, break their teeth in their mouth, Break down the jaw-teeth of young lions, O YHWH.
7 E hehee lakou, me he mau wai la e kahe mau ana, Aia lena oia no kana mau pua, E lilo lakou me he mau mea la i okiokiia.
They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceeds as they cut themselves off.
8 Me he pupu la e hehee ana, e hele e aku lakou a pau; Me he mea hanau e la ka wahine, e ike ole lakou i ka la.
He goes on as a snail that melts, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
9 Mamua o ka wela ana o ka oukou mau ipuhao i ke kakalaioa, E lawe aku oia ia lakou me ka ino makani, I ko lakou ola ana, a i kona huhu.
Before your pots discern the bramble, As living, He whirls away in His burning anger.
10 E hauoli ka mea pono i kona ike ana i ka hoopai ana; E holoi oia i kona mau kapuwai i ke koko o ka mea hewa.
The righteous rejoices that he has seen vengeance, He washes his steps in the blood of the wicked.
11 Pela, e olelo ke kanaka, Oiaio, he uku no hoi no ka mea pono: Oiaio hoi, he Akua no e hoopai ana ma ka honua.
And man says: “Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!”
