Halelu 62
1 OIAIO, ke hilinai nei ko'u uhane i ke Akua; Nona mai no hoi ke ola no'u.
“For the leader of the music of the Jeduthunites, A psalm of David.” Truly my soul resteth on God alone; From him cometh my deliverance!
2 Oia wale no ko'u pohaku a me kuu ola; Oia ko'u wahi e malu ai, aole au e nauweuwe nui.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, I shall not wholly fall!
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 will ye continue to assault a single man? How long will ye all seek to destroy me, Like a bending wall, or a tottering 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 study how to cast me down from my eminence; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse.
5 E kuu uhane, e hilinai aku oe i ke Akua wale no; No ka mea, nona mai ka'u mea e kali nei.
My soul, rest thou on God alone, For from him cometh my hope!
6 Oia wale no ko'u pohaku a me kuu ola; Oia hoi ko'u wahi e malu ai, aole au e kulanalana.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, —I shall not fall.
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.
From God cometh my help and my glory: My strong rock, my refuge, is God.
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)
Trust in him at all times, ye people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge!
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.
Truly men of low degree are vanity, And men of high degree are a lie; Placed in the balance, They are all lighter than vanity.
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.
Trust not in extortion; Place no vain hopes in rapine! If riches increase, set not your heart upon them!
11 Hookahi olelo ana a ke Akua; Elua ko'u hoolohe ana i keia, no ke Akua ka mana.
Once hath God promised, twice have I heard it, That power belongeth unto 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.
To thee also, O Lord! belongeth mercy; For thou dost render to every man according to his work!
