Halelu 60
1 E KE Akua, ua haalele mai oe ia makou; Ua hooanhee liilii oe ia makou; Ua huhu ae nei oe; e maliu hou mai ia makou.
For the music director. According to “Lily of the Testimony.” A psalm (miktam) of David, useful for teaching, about the time he fought against Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and then Joab returned and killed 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You, God, have rejected us! You have broken us; you have been angry with us; but now you have to welcome us back!
2 Ua hoonauweuwe mai oe i ka honua, a wawahi hoi ia; E hoola i kona nahaha ana, no ka mea, ke nauweuwe nei no ia.
You have sent earthquakes on our land and split it apart. Now heal the cracks, for the land is still having tremors.
3 Ua hoike mai oe i kou poe kanaka i na mea paakiki; Ua hoohainu mai oe ia makou i ka waina o ka haalulu.
You have been very hard on your people; you gave us wine that made us stagger around.
4 Ua haawi mai oe i ka hae i ka poe weliweli ia oe, I hookiekieia'e no ia no ka oiaio. (Sila)
But you have given those who respect you the banner of truth to unfurl and rally around. (Selah)
5 I hoopakeleia kou mea aloha; E hoola mai me kou lima akau, a e hooloho mai ia'u.
Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
6 Olelo iho la ke Akua ma kona hoano; E hauoli au, e puunane au ia Sekema; A o ke awawa o Sukota ka'u e ana aku ai.
God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
7 No'u no Gileada; no'u no hoi o Manase; O Eperaima ka ikaika o kuu poo; O Iuda ko'u hoailona moi;
Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
8 O Moaba ko'u ipu holoi; Maluna o Edoma e hoohemo aku ai au i kuu kamaa: E hauoli oe, e Pilisetia maluna o'u.
I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9 Owai la ka mea nana wau e lawe i ke kulanakauhale pakaua? Owai la ka mea nana wau e alakai i Edoma?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
10 Aole anei o oe, ke Akua, ka mea i haalele mai ia makou? A o oe, e ke Akua, ka i hele pu ole me ko makou poe kaua?
Have you rejected us, God? Won't you lead our armies?
11 E kokua mai oe ia makou i ka popilikia; No ka mea, he lapuwale ke kokua ana o ke kanaka.
Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
12 Iloko o ke Akua e koa aku ai kakou; Oia ke hehi iho i ko kakou poe enemi.
Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
