Halelu 62
1 OIAIO, ke hilinai nei ko'u uhane i ke Akua; Nona mai no hoi ke ola no'u.
For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of David. Only in God do I find peace; my salvation comes from him.
2 Oia wale no ko'u pohaku a me kuu ola; Oia ko'u wahi e malu ai, aole au e nauweuwe nui.
He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will never be in danger.
3 Pehea la ka loihi o ko oukou kukakuka hewa ku e i ke kanaka? E lukuia auanei oukou a pau, Me he pa hina la, me ka pa haalulu.
How long are you going to attack me? All of you against one man! To you I'm just a broken wall, a collapsed fence.
4 Oiaio, ua ohumu lakou e kiola iho ia ia mai kona pono iho; Hauoli lakou i ka wahahee; Hoomaikai hoi lakou me ko lakou waha, Aka, maloko, ua hoino wale lakou. (Sila)
They plan to throw me down from my high position; they love to tell lies. They say nice things to me, but inside they're cursing me. (Selah)
5 E kuu uhane, e hilinai aku oe i ke Akua wale no; No ka mea, nona mai ka'u mea e kali nei.
Only in God do I find peace; my hope comes from him.
6 Oia wale no ko'u pohaku a me kuu ola; Oia hoi ko'u wahi e malu ai, aole au e kulanalana.
He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will not be in danger.
7 Iloko o ke Akua ko'u ola a me ko'u nani: O ko'u pohaku paa, a o ko'u wahi malu, aia no i ke Akua.
My salvation and my success come from God alone; God is my security and my protection.
8 E hilinai aku ia ia i na manawa a pau, e na kanaka; E ninini aku i ko oukou naau imua ona: O ke Akua kahi e malu ai no kakou. (Sila)
My people, always trust in him. Pour out all your thoughts to him, for he is the one who looks after us. (Selah)
9 Oiaio, he mea lapuwale na makaainana, He mea oiaio ole na kanaka koikoi; Aia waihoia ma ka mea kaupaona, Pau pu lakou i ka mama, aole ka ha.
Ordinary people are mere breaths, while leaders are just fakes. Put them all together and weigh them on scales and they wouldn't weigh more than air!
10 Mai noho a hilinai i ka hooluhihewa ana: Mai noho a laua lapuwale ko oukou manao ma ka lawe wale ana. I ka wa e mahuahua ai ka waiwai, mai paulele ko oukou naau ilaila.
Don't trust in money made by extortion or robbery. Don't be proud of your wealth even if you are successful—don't make money what you live for.
11 Hookahi olelo ana a ke Akua; Elua ko'u hoolohe ana i keia, no ke Akua ka mana.
God has already made it clear—I have heard it many times—power belongs to you, God.
12 Nou no hoi, e ka Haku, e aloha mai; No ka mea, ua uku mai oe i kela kanaka i keia kanaka, e like me kana hana.
You show us trustworthy love. You give back to people in return for what they've done.
