Halelu 58
1 KE olelo nei auei oukou i ka pono, e ke anaina? Ke hooponopono pololei anei oukou, e na keiki a kanaka?
For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam. Do you rulers speak righteousness? Do you judge uprightly, you people?
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.
No, you commit wickedness in your heart; you distribute violence throughout the land with 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 go astray even when they are in the womb; they go astray from birth, 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 like a snake's poison; they are like a deaf adder that stops up its ears,
5 Ka mea e lohe ole no i ka leo o ka poe hoowalewale, E hoowale wale ana me ke akamai loa.
that pays no attention to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful they are.
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.
Break their teeth in their mouths, God; break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
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.
Let them melt away as water that runs off; when they shoot their arrows, let them be as though they had no points.
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.
Let them be like a snail that melts and passes away, like the untimely-born child of a woman that never sees the sunlight.
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 can feel the thorn's burning heat, he will take them away with a whirlwind, the green thorns and the burning thorns alike.
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 will rejoice when he sees God's vengeance; he will wash his feet 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.
so that men will say, “Truly, there is a reward for the righteous person; truly there is a God who judges the earth.”
