Halelu 64

1 E HOOLOHE mai, e ke Akua, i ko'u leo, i ka'u kamailio ana'ku: E hoomalu i kuu ola nei, i ka makau ana i ka enemi.

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

2 E huna mai ia'u mai ka ohumu malu ana o ka poe hewa; Mai ka hoohaunaele ana hoi o ka poe lawehala:

Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

3 Ka poe i hookala i ko lakou alelo me he pahikaua la; A i lena no hoi ko lakou mau pua, he mau olelo awahia;

Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

4 I pana malu lakou i ka mea pono: Pana wawe no hoi lakou ia ia, aole hoi makau.

That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 Hooikaika lakou ia lakou iho ma ka mea ino; Kukakuka lakou e waiho malu i na pahele; Olelo no hoi lakou, Owai la na mea e ike ia lakou?

They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.

6 Imi no hoi lakou i na mea hewa; Huli lakou me ka imi ikaika: O ka manao a me ka naau o lakou he hohonu ia.

They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

7 Aka, e paua mai no ke Akua ia lakou me ka pua; E hiki wawe no ko lakou ku ana.

But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

8 Pela e hoohaule iho lakou i ko lakou alelo maluna o lakou iho; E holo aku no hoi ka poe a pau i ike ia lakou.

So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

9 E pau no hoi na kanaka i ka makau, A e hai aku i ka hana a ke Akua; No ka mea, e noonoo naauao lakou i kana hana ana.

And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.

10 E olioli ka mea pono ia Iehova, a e hilinai hoi ia ia; A e hauoli no hoi ka poe naau kupono a pau.

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
