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 chief musician. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint; preserve my life from fear of my enemies.

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 plotting of evildoers, from the commotion of the doers 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;

They have sharpened their tongues like swords; they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,

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

so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent; suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.

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 consult privately together in order to set traps; they say, “Who will see us?”

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 invent sinful plans; “We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.” The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.

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

But God will shoot them; suddenly they will be wounded with his arrows.

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.

They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them; all who see them will wag their heads.

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 people will fear and will declare God's deeds. They will wisely think about what he has done.

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 will be glad about Yahweh and will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will take pride in him.
