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 Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.
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 made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
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 shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
4 Ua haawi mai oe i ka hae i ka poe weliweli ia oe, I hookiekieia'e no ia no ka oiaio. (Sila)
You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 I hoopakeleia kou mea aloha; E hoola mai me kou lima akau, a e hooloho mai ia'u.
So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
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 sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure 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;
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. 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.
Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I 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 strong city? Who has led me to 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?
Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.
11 E kokua mai oe ia makou i ka popilikia; No ka mea, he lapuwale ke kokua ana o ke kanaka.
Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.
12 Iloko o ke Akua e koa aku ai kakou; Oia ke hehi iho i ko kakou poe enemi.
Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
