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.
“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: preserve my life from the dread 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 secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous assault of the workers of wickedness;
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 whet their tongue like a sword, who aim with their arrow, the bitter word:
4 I pana malu lakou i ka mea pono: Pana wawe no hoi lakou ia ia, aole hoi makau.
To shoot in secret at the innocent; 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 themselves in an evil plan; they tell secretly of laying snares: they say, Who will 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; “We are ready with the carefully searched out device:” and the inward thought and heart of each is deeply [hidden].
7 Aka, e paua mai no ke Akua ia lakou me ka pua; E hiki wawe no ko lakou ku ana.
But God shooteth at them suddenly [his] arrow; —[thence] are come 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.
And their own tongues will stumble over themselves: all that look on them will shake their 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.
All men shall fear, and shall declare the deeds of God, and understand his works.
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 rejoice in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glorify themselves.
